Saw a picture of it, and used what I learned from "GeoGuessr" to see if it was real.

That actually looks like it could be fun/interesting. I will to look at this "GeoGuessr" more after work.

It gives you a random Google streetView picture and a map of the world. You have to get as close as possible to the original point at which it was taken. Closer you are, the more points you get.
Some of the Australia ones are next to impossible, but it's quite interesting in a nerdy sort of way!

Holy Moley! Did the Earth's magnetic field flip already? Kept zooming out to where I could see where that was located and Earth was "upside down".

I must agree on that ... even worse - I was not able to restore it, sorry for that 
It seems that we are all upside down now ...

Just checked and the average square footage of homes in that area is ~2000 square feet / 185 square meters. While the average size homes in Germany are 1,185 square feet / 109 square meters.

That is hilarious! Remember when TPing (Toilet papering) a person's house could only be seen by the people who lived on or drove down the street?
It's a whole new world out there!

I don't understand PowerShell, principally because its something I've always actively avoided. Looks nasty, but you can do some clever stuff with it so it seems. Some of my peers have this skill.
I'm wondering if I should get to know it. Anybody here got any opinions good or bad?
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I are a dinosaur and I, too, have avoided PowerShell.
Having said that, I do find myself using it.
Over time, I've seen scripting done in various tools: VBScript, PERL, etc... but PowerShell seems to be the emerging tool.
Last week, I had to find a method to get the amount of memory installed on a computer and store that value; I COULD have done it in VBScript with WMI, but PowerShell was available and not that difficult to use.
I Googles the various pieces: get the installed memory, how to store the value in the system I'm using... and put them together into a single entity... and it worked the first time I ran it.

All I know about powershell is that the Package manager console in VS uses it, and in Win7, I managed to completely break it when I had Update 5 installed. Win they upgraded us to Win10, the version of powershell installed with win10 (v5.n?) was evidently too new for vs2013, and we had to install powershell 2.0 to get the package manager console working.
That's all I want to know about powershell.

Powershell is very useful, especially for sys admins, etc. I have never "needed" to use it - ever, but I would like to learn it.

You can learn as you go, so you don't really need to study it for weeks before you get to use it. I only use a subset of ps commands and it's been very useful for me. I would not tell someone I am a ps expert by any means, but that's what so good about it. You can use it as minimally or as advanced as your needs dictate.

Good idea to have some basic ps scripting know-how in my opinion. It's very handy for running automated tasks on remote VMs.

PowerShell isn't without its syntactic quirks (which will make you pull your hair out until you understand them), but it's still worth learning IMO, especially if you currently do anything at the command prompt.
MS has built support for PS in just about every one of their products/services, and if you currently can't do something through some UI, then it's still probably feasible through PS.
Personally, I just love the idea of working with the same .NET objects in a script as you do with full-blown, compiled languages. This opens up a lot of possibilities. If anyone thinks PowerShell is just an alternative to the string manipulation offered by the various Linux shells (no matter how sophisticated this can get), you need to re-read what PS is really about.
