Do you have stuff that you have had for a while that has a feature you were not aware was there for good chunk of time after you came into possession of the item.
Like: back in 2000 I got a nice little Panasonic CD/cassette/rsdio boombox as a gift. I went to use headphones with it once and could not find a headphone jack.. I thought huh, I guess it did not come with that. Months later I was giving it a little clean and I notice a headphone jack hole (lol) on it's side near the bottom in a little alcove area. If I know longer have this boombox, it died years ago, so I don't the name the model.
More recently, my car a 2010 VW Golf I have owned for seven years now.. I have driven it for over 100,000kms.. And I always thought the entry was completely keyless.. Meaning there is no visible keyholes on any of the doors, and you can only unlock via a remote.. Well today the battery in my only remote (the previous owner lost the expensive spare, so I look after that fob like a child) died, and ironically I had a replacement battery in the glove box (cause I'm an idiot ok) so I googled if can get into the car without the remote.. And I find out by the driver’s door handle there is a removable panel that has a keyhole in it.... Seven years!

I owned my Jeep five years before I realized I could put a USB thumb drive in the radio and listen to my own tunes

Despite playing GTA Vice City religiously for a couple years, I didn't know there were a couple buildings you could go into, namely the the Scarface apartment and a room upstairs you use for a mission to take photographs.

Just found the dial that controls the frequency of my windshield wipers in a vehicle I've been driving for the last 4 years. Thought they only went fast, slow, and ten seconds.

Am I the only one stupid enough to not understand that newer iPhones can still use wired headphones? They just use the charger hole.

I found out the "Popcorn" button on my microwave worked correctly and didn't just burn the popcorn, unlike virtually every microwave I'd had previously.

I've been too chicken shit to try it after having one burn years ago. Burnt popcorn is one of the most disgusting smells outside of downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa. |

I had my Xbox 360 for over a year before I realised I could connect it online by simply plugging an ethernet cable in.
I was 17 and stupid.

Skyrim and Breath of the Wild are FULL of stuff like this even before getting into weird physics glitches.

I found out the "Popcorn" button on my microwave worked correctly and didn't just burn the popcorn, unlike virtually every microwave I'd had previously. That just proves your microwave is tainted with THE DARKNESSSSSSSS Got a DVD player ,think it is a Philips Model,I have had since 2009. The other day hooked it up to test a disc. Noticed a button on the remote i had no clue wwhat it did. So pressed it. Get a message on the screen that the disc in the player has to be an audio cd. OK Go grab a CD,was NIN Broken. Toss that in hit hte button. Get another message to plug a USB drive into the USB port on the front of hte player,the same port I have used to play "backup" copies of movies and tv shows for years. Plug drive in hit the button again. And watch as my DVD player rips each song off the CD as a MP3 and puts them on the flash drive. So had this player over 15 years and never knew it could do this. Not sure why they thought this would be a useful feature. But it is interesting. |

I've been too chicken shit to try it after having one burn years ago. Burnt popcorn is one of the most disgusting smells outside of downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Burnt popcorn smell covers up anything. Back when I was a teen and say parents were gone for the weeknd. I would smoke inside instead of going out back. Then the night before they were due home go toss a bag of popcorn in the microwave and hit the popcorn button. Burn the bag and it covers the smoke smell. |

Ooh they giving AirPods away now with their phones? Nice. Or is it like wall charger situation where they putting less things in the box and the AirPods was a separate thing you got for free? |

It’s been a while since I updated my iPhone model and I remembered I tried to put everything in one small bag together, but still managed to misplace the AirPods lol. |

I have this old tv, bought around 2012. Not a smart tv or anything. Just recently tried plugging my external hard drive to usb drive and it turns out I could watch my old pirated and ripped from dvd videos directly from there. Could have watched so much old stuff on there before streaming. I used to burn stuff onto dvd r and watch via my dvd player. Or use my old ass laptop.

Not stuff, but I’ve been continually impressed by apps on my phone I didn’t use for years until I needed a feature that native app was useful for.
That iPhone notes app, pages, iMovie, numbers,voice memo, etc have been quite a game changer for me
