Miniaturization Does Away With Standardization Laptops and desktop computers live in two completely different worlds. It’s rare to take space restrictions into consideration when building a PC since it’s something stationary that sits around your desk. You’re not going to be moving it much, so you can basically make it as heavy and cumbersome as you want. That’s why it’s a point of pride for some to have a desktop unit that takes up an enormous amount of space with huge amounts of storage and an obscene amount of processing power....

Option 1: Buy a New Laptop The first option is the most obvious, but it’s also the hardest to justify. Putting down anywhere from a several hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars, depending on brand and options, for a new laptop isn’t an easy choice, especially when it’s in completely working order other than the damaged part of the screen. And in this economy, that money to replace it is most likely already earmarked for other things....

What if you want to delete the characters in front of your cursor? Is it possible to do that on a Mac? Yes, it is. Follow along to find out how. Forward Delete Text on a Mac In your text place your cursor to the left of the characters you want to delete. Hold down the “Fn” key on your keyboard, and then press the “Delete” button. You should see that the words are now being deleted forward rather than backward....

What “Safely Remove” Does So why do we bother safely removing USB drives, and what happens if we don’t? To understand this, we have to look at how computers use files. Let’s say you have a text document on a USB stick, and you open it up on your computer via the stick. Your computer will take the document and load it into the RAM, where you can make changes to it....

DocuSign Ink is a free app available for iPhones 3GS and up, iPod Touches 3rd Generation and up, and all iPads.

After a quick verification email, you’re ready to sign documents and fill out forms. If you’re emailed a document to sign, touch the attachment and choose to Open In DocuSign Ink....

In Short, Yes, Yes It Does – Just Not in the Way You’d Think The GPS device inside your phone is always on, regardless of whether you have disabled apps from being able to access the hardware. This is because emergency services must always have readily available location data should you call them. That being said, your apps accessing the GPS data is not causing the GPS module to be working any harder, as it is not gaining any new data....

Being a free option that actually works the way you need it too is a big benefit and to top it off, it is even easy to use. That’s a rare find for most free applications. Where to get it?

Even with all the tools that are listed in the power user menu, we always miss our favorite and most used programs in that list. That said, you can easily add your most used system tools and programs to the WIN + X menu. So without further ado, let us see how to edit the power user menu in Windows 8 to increase your productivity. Edit Win + X Menu In Windows 8 We can manually edit the power user menu, but it really is a little bit messy....

News of Musk’s share sale has emerged directly from a United States Securities and Exchange Commission filing. It brings the total of Tesla shares sold by Musk over the past year to $40bn. While Musk remains Tesla’s biggest single shareholder, his stake has now dropped to just 13.4%. Elon Musk started selling off his Tesla shares back in November of last year in order to pay his taxes, and following the result of poll he posted on Twitter....

Why does this happen? Ubuntu is a dynamic entity. It’s got a lot of features, options and drivers packed in. It can support pretty much everything out of the box. Laptop mode and other power saving options for laptops are not enabled due to this fact. Maybe one day Canonical will have Ubuntu for Laptops and Ubuntu for Desktops (which would solve this issue). Until that happens, we’ve created a simple guide that will tell you all about laptop mode and how to enable it....

How Is It Different than HBO Now and HBO Go? For those of you keeping count, HBO Max is the third streaming service from HBO. It comes on the heels of HBO Now and HBO Go, both of which are still operating. Why has HBO opted for such an unconventional structure, especially when it only seems to confuse potential customers? The answer lies in HBO’s complicated history. Because it premiered way back in the 1970s, it was tied to cable subscription services....

The benefits are explained well by the Fedora Project in the Silverblue documentation: “Silverblue’s immutable design is intended to make it more stable, less prone to bugs, and easier to test and develop. Finally, Silverblue’s immutable design also makes it an excellent platform for containerized apps as well as container-based software development. In each case, apps and containers are kept separate from the host system, improving stability and reliability.” These are the many reasons why I believe Fedora Silverblue may be the future of Linux....

A number of options have appeared over the years. Here are four of the best sleep cycle tracking alarm clocks for Android. 1. Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock The Sleep Cycle alarm clock app introduced millions of iOS users to the concept before eventually coming to Android. Like each of the apps on this list that surfaced in the years since, Sleep Cycle analyzes your movement during the night to wake you up during the lightest phase of your sleep....

Download managers open multiple streams to download the same file, and in doing so, get around limitations placed on the download speed. My favourite application to that end is Free Download Manager. There are two versions available on the website – a full featured version that offers a built-in bittorent client, video conversion and upload manager, and a “lite” version, that just has the download manager component. I only use the lite version, as I use µTorrent for my torrenting needs and have little use for an upload manager....

Now we have received some even more in-depth renders that appear to corroborate those earlier snaps, courtesy of arch-tipster OnLeaks. These 5K shots and the associated video (via Howtoisolve) essentially offer us a close look at the foldable from every angle. We get a better look at the Pixel Fold’s shorter, wider stature compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4....

In the terminal, type: This will install Skype together with its appindicator.

In this article, we will discuss some important features of Carousel, and will also list some pros and cons for you to help decide whether or not the app is worth it. The timeline view Once installed and set up properly, the app backs up photos and videos from your camera roll to Dropbox servers via Wi-Fi (that’s default, although you can also choose to sync over a data connection), and presents them, along with the photos already stored in your Dropbox, chronologically by event date....
