are two possible shortcuts. One is + . Some keyboards have a dedicated

Hey peops, just to let you know that if you’re using Less with the
Less.app on Mac, it doesn’t accept the original ‘device-pixel-ratio’ of
1.5 or indeed the opera equivalent of 3/2. All device-pixel-ratios need
to be 2 only. Just thought it might help someone out there! Peas and
korn.

Another way to quickly open favored folders is, well, by adding them to
the Favorites section at the top of File Explorer. The process for doing
so isn't exactly obvious, however.

Ultimately, the only way to truly stay anonymous online is to never go
online in the first place. If you’ve already used the internet, delete
any and all accounts you’ve ever created, turn your computer off and
smash it to pieces. You will still leave a digital footprint of some
sort in your wake, but hopefully it’s not particularly significant. If
you’re using this extreme method, you should also smash up your smart
phone, your tablet and your smart TV (they’re listening to us now). Now
that you have purged all connected technology from your life, you may
wish to live in self-imposed exile, perhaps in a cave, so that you are
not tempted to re-enter the online world. Don’t tell anyone about this
and you will successfully have acquired complete anonymity. Probably.

Prior to El Capitan, OS X defaulted to grouping items in Notification
Center by app. Since El Capitan, Apple switched things up and now groups
them by date instead. For instance, all your notifications from today
will show up together, which can be useful for seeing what you missed
while you were stuck in that all-day meeting.

I have a survey that I want to launch and it is possible that my
respondents will not have the same tablets. Can I combine all the
scripts for the different tablets?
By cybergrannie November 5, 20140 found this helpfulAre you referring to
the camera that lets other people see you when you are "talking" to
them? In any case, computers are different so you will have to find this
in your laptop manual.If you do not have a manual then research it on
line. You will just have to have your laptop "name" and model number
which is on your laptop. Usually you can find a manual to review on line
or maybe print it out to keep for future reference.You can also just
Google your question (include laptop name and model) and maybe find an
answer that way.First - find the name and model number as this is
necessary for anyone to be able to really answer your questions. Reply

On a computer, just click on any video while pressing Shift+Alt
(Shift+Option+Click on a Mac), and under “Stream Manager” you can
manually adjust the bandwidth usage. There is also an option to adjust
how the audio and video synchronises, just in case the dialogue and
actors’ mouth movements have parted company.

Did you know that there is a secret "Send To" menu that you can access
with the Shift key? Hold down Shift, right-click the folder and select
the "Send To" menu. This lets you access a whole new set of file
locations, so you can quickly re-locate a folder without the hassle.
One little known fact about Macs is that they use a different file
system than Windows computers by default. That means, if you’re planning
on sharing an external hard drive between both Microsoft’s and Apple’s
operating systems, you have a few options. While you could format the
hard drive to take advantage of the exFAT file system, you would thereby
miss out on faster write times. Luckily, in the Disk Utility app
featured in macOS, there’s the option to partition hard drives. In doing
so, you can theoretically divide the hard drive in half, with one
volume being dedicated to macOS and the other to Windows. Take the hard
drive over to your PC and you can format one of those volumes for NTFS,
making it the perfect little hybrid device.
Chances are, you’ve probably already found a few awesome tools and added
them to your productivity arsenal, but most programs can be used for
more than just their inteded purpose. Cloud storage tools like Dropbox,
for example, are also great for monitoring your home computer, printing
files from afar, and even downloading stuff with BitTorrent. Savvy folks
can use Gmail to store files in the cloud or find out if someone’s
stolen your laptop. Any tool can become multipurpose if you know its ins
and outs.

Edward Snowden has called Dropbox - a cloud storage service - ‘hostile
to privacy’. That’s pretty damning. If you’re worried about sharing your
files through this system, there are a number of good alternatives out
there which offer better privacy. Snowden himself recommends Spideroak,
which describes itself as a zero-knowledge encrypted data backup, share,
sync, access and storage service. You can use a limited version of this
as part of their free trial, which can be found on their website. A
fully featured subscription is available for $12 a month. However, if
you’re just looking to quickly share small or large files anonymously
for free, give OnionShare a go. It doesn’t have as many features as
Spideroak, but it gets the job done.
The processor is a power hog, often using as much as half of the total
power in a system. Smaller is better; as the size of the microscopic
wires and electronic architecture within the chip shrinks with each
generation, its power use declines.
Quickly launch a new instance of a program Those taskbar icons can also
be used to quickly launch a second (or third, or fourth, or…) instance
of a program—a fresh browser window alongside an already populated one,
for instance, or another Windows Explorer window.Doing so is easy: Just
hold down the Shift button, then open the program as you normally would,
either via a left click of the mouse or the aforementioned quick-launch
keyboard trick. Boom! A new, clean version of the software appears
alongside the one you already have open.
Hi all, becareful with Media Queries! They are not pixel accurate. Some
times they are off only 20 pixels but other time they are off up to 150
pixels… However, even few pixels is very bad when trying to target a
certain mobile phone screen.
Tip: Storage Container Lid for LaptopBy Robyn 1 found this helpfulApril
2, 2017I am using a lid from a storage container to keep my laptop from
overheating. I have found that it works very well. I don't want the
ventilation area under the computer to be blocked. I love to repurpose
items around the house for other things. Spring is a great time to
recycle and repurpose! Ad Comment Was this helpful? 1By Karen April 11,

With loads of iMessage conversations happening at once, it can be easy
to lose track of who said what, where, which is especially true if you
regularly use multi-people chats and mix work and pleasure. Since
Yosemite, though, you can name group chats by clicking Details at the
top right then typing a name at the top.
David Englund Permalink to comment# March 7, 2015 I am using the
Responsive Theme. What if I want to hide my sub-menu items on the
desktop, but show them on the mobile? I use the “Responsive Menu” plugin
for mobile, which provides a nice slider expand/collapse look for menus
there. But, on the desktop I don’t want sub-menus to show. The main
menu items (e.g., About) will take you to that section/page of the
website, where a sidebar navigation will then be used from that point on
for all the associated pages. Reply ↓
You missed some of my favorite ones, for moving around in text. These
work in most text situations, including this comments box. I love not
having to move my hand over to the mouse every time I want to reposition
the cursor.
More secret right-click options Secret right-click options revealed by
the Shift key don't end with file paths, though.The basic Send to tool
that appears as an option when you right-click on a file or folder is
handy enough indeed, allowing you to move the item quickly to a handful
of locations on your PC, add it to a .zip archive, or send it off in an
email or fax.But that's just the tip of the iceberg! Holding down the
Shift key as you right-click a file or folder will add an absolute ton
of new folder locations to the basic Send to menu.
Colin Daniel Lafferty Permalink to comment# May 7, 2013 This is an
informative article however i would approach responsive design much the
same as we currently do for fully fluid layouts. My personal approach is
semi fluid in nature with responsive design only to enhance the
content. If for example we apply a fixed width on the container (div as
the most semantic selector) Then we can simply target that by simply
applying a max width, minimum width and auto for backwards
compatibility. Of course will work for semi modern browsers this is the
best option in my opinion. We can scale this up or down based upon a
percentage and change the width constrictions and there we have a
complete fluid and responsive design. Of course other elements needs to
be specifically styled, rearranged or sometimes hidden (i would not
recommend) by using media queries. Reply ↓
The recently-revised tool allows you to see a film's Rotten Tomatoes
score as well as its IMDb rating – not to mention access to other IMDb
content as well as any trailers. Still indecisive? Try Netflix Roulette.
Put in an actor, a genre, or another determining factor, and hey - who
knows what you’ll end up watching.
If you prefer the old per-app grouping, though, go to System Preferences
> Notifications, then change the sort order as you please: look for
the pop-up menu labelled "Notification Center sort order." Play with the
different options and see which one works for you.
This is so that, for example, you can quickly log into a website on your
Mac having saved a password on your iPad, or enter your secure credit
card details automatically on an iPhone having saved them on your Mac.
It's a slightly complex setup, but worth a bit of pain up-front to make
your life easier later on; start at this page on Apple's website to find
out how.
It can be annoying having to wait for someone else to print out large
documents when you're in a hurry, so use this tip to minimize the wait
if you have access to more than one printer. In System Preferences >
Print & Fax (or Printers & Scanners on recent versions of OS X),
you can select multiple printers and create a Printer Pool.
I know article is from a while back, but has anyone had an issue with
“max-device-width” and having rendering issue. My impression was that
the “max-device-width” only rendered on phones, tablets, and mobile
devices, not on desktop browsers. This happens when the browser is set
and the initial load of the css file with the @Media query loads. So if I

Rather than trying to track that missing file down or manually delete
the legion of copies, whip out the universal Get Out of Jail Free card
that, somewhat surprisingly, also works within Windows proper: Crtl + Z.
The keyboard shortcut undoes your last action, restoring order when
chaos suddenly appears. (Crtl + C and Crtl + V for copying and pasting,
respectively, also work properly within Windows.)
The virus essentially prompts users to download and install a fake
software update. It then proceeds to harvest the user Keychain and phish
for usernames, passwords as well as any other credentials, before
eventually relaying the recovered data back to the attacker.
If you want a file to open in an app other than its default, select the
file and press Command+I, to show its information. In the "Open with:"
section, use the drop-down menu to choose a new app.
With Mail since Yosemite, though (and in fact with the webmail version
of Mail at icloud.com), you can email files up to 5GB in size. What in
fact happens is that the attachment really gets uploaded to iCloud, and
then a link is sent to your recipient where they have 30 days from which
to download it.
There are six components that are the major power users in a computing
device. They are listed here roughly in order of power use, although
that can vary based on the notebook itself. They have each been
redesigned over the past decade for greater efficiency, but there's
still work to be done.

Among the 18 tweaks it offers, Flixplus can hide potential spoiler

Preview has some fantastic tools built into it for annotating images and
PDFs. And, what's best of all is that the annotations it adds to a PDF
are based on a standard that's compatible with Adobe's PDF app, Acrobat,
which is used by Windows users and companies - so it's easy to share
annotated documents with colleagues.Make sure the Edit Toolbar is
visible (from the View menu) and you'll see you've got options for
drawing shapes, arrows, speech and thought bubbles and more. There's
also the option to highlight text in different colours, strikethrough
some text, add notes and type some text into boxes.
However, by doing so, that also kills my iphone4+ styling where I *do*
want the footer to display. The problem is that the iphone4+ and the
normal *smartphone* min/max dimensions are targeting the same dimensions
of 320 and 480 respectively and I am unable to get separate devices
with same width/height ratios to be targeted differently without
overriding each other. Any online articles that talk about this would be
greatly appreciated!
Streaming from your laptop or computer? Let your fingers do the
navigating for precise, easy control. Hit Spacebar or Enter keys to
pause/play. ‘PgDn’ also pauses, while ‘PgUp’ plays. F enables
full-screen viewing, while Esc takes you out of it. Hold Shift and the
Left Arrow to rewind, while Shift and the Right Arrow fast-forwards. Up
and Down Arrows change volume, while M toggles for mute.
Every program to the right of the Start button is assigned its own
numerical shortcut, with the first program being "1," the second being
"2," and so on, all the way to the 10th taskbar shortcut, which gets
"0." Pressing the Windows key, plus the number of the program you want
to open, launches it. For example, in the image at left, pressing Win + 3
launches the Chrome browser.
When you move your laptop from a cold to a warm environment, and vice
versa, don't boot up until your system reaches room temperature. Sudden
temperature changes can cause condensation to build up inside the
notebook case; turn it on too quickly, and the moisture could damage
your system's inner components.
Every operating system has hidden things lying under the hood, you just
have to know where to look. Windows users should check out the hidden
features of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10, while Mac users should
peruse the hidden features of OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, Yosemite, and
Mavericks. If you want to find even more, you can often find them in
Windows’ Registry or in OS X’s terminal. System tweakers like Ultimate
Windows Tweaker, OnyX for Mac, and Ubuntu Tweak are also great places to
find secret features.
The next power drain is your screen. While you obviously need to keep it
up and running to use the laptop, you don't necessarily need it running
at maximum brightness or resolution. Many laptops will have hotkeys for
increasing and decreasing the screen brightness, but if not, it can be
adjusted in the control panel. Reducing the display to 50 percent when
you're running on battery power can add a significant amount of time.
Shut down unused and highly intense appsnhungboon/ShutterstockIf you’re
not using an app, make sure that you exit out of it. If they are
running, they will use up your battery. Also limit the use of highly
intense apps such as games and editing software, they use up a lot of
energy and will drain your battery much faster. Make sure you know the
ways that computer hackers get into your computer.
It’s not the only option for getting your media files on your Sony
gaming console. The ever-wonderful Plex app is one way of getting
content from your computer to your PS4 (and it’s free), but if you want a
slightly more complex route then you can set up a DLNA server and use
this to beam music, video and photos over to the PlayStation box.
