Naetimaetee/ShutterstockKeeping your computer plugged into the charger
all the time, even when you’re not using it, is bad for the battery.
Katsch says that your computer battery should never be at a full charge
or no charge at all. So, don’t keep your computer plugged in all day and
don’t use it until it dies. Keeping the charge between 50-80% is ideal.
Katsch recommends plugging in your computer in the morning, and then
once it’s fully charged, keep it unplugged for the rest of the day.
These tips will help to make your computer faster.
You could always just keep the content centered (or left aligned) on the
page at a normal width, say 960 or 1024px which would allow it to be
readable. To fill up the extra space on the sides you could use a
gradient, clever shadows, or some images to “fill” up the blank space.
My site maxes out at 960px so it looks the same on 1600 wide monitors,
and 1900 wide monitors and beyond. A word of advice- when designing for
large screen, testing or actually designing for a large screen is really
helpful- it is hard to visualize a large screen when working on a 13″

JavaScript is used all over the web and can provide detailed information
about your system to any website that uses it. This is almost always
used completely harmlessly and is often used to improve your browsing
experience or funnel more personalised and relevant adverts your way.
However, some of this personal or system information can and has been
leaked in the past. Disabling JavaScript completely is not really a
viable solution as a large amount of websites require you to accept
JavaScript in order for them to display correctly. However, you can
install an extension into your browser that will allow you to blacklist
or whitelist JavaScript activity, giving you more control over how and
where your information is being used. NoScript and ScriptSafe are both
popular choices and very easy to use.
I need help with the last step-housing the “hub.” I first thought of a
fancy acrylic box with appropriate holes for wires, that I could then
stash in a drawer and leave on. But the display has limited wire length,
so it needs to be in the box as well. I want the screen to be
independent from the box, so the hub can remain in a drawer while the
screen is out. This led to my current idea: leave the box in the center
sliding drawer of a desk, and mount the display in the desk surface. I
have a desk at home with a glass pane over the wood top, so I could cut
out a square in the wood and fit the display up against the glass. This
way, the box is out of sight in the drawer, and the display is always
viewable from the desk! Before I start sawing into my desk, though, I
wanted to throw it out there to all of you. Any better ideas? I’m happy
to hear them! Until next time…

Did you know that you can also undo an undo, i.e. redo what you did
using the CTRL + Y key combination? This feature is most useful,
however, when you have to repeat a task, like pasting the same
information into several locations.
Now, it's easy. In Contacts' preferences, click vCard then Enable
private me card. Now, when you go to your Me card in Contacts – and you
might have to define one first – and click Edit, you get a series of
checkboxes next to each field to show whether it would be included when
you share a card.
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.

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.
It might be the 21st century, but we're still using squiggles on a piece
of paper to agree to all manner of things. If you are emailed a PDF to
sign, though, you don't have to faff about printing it, signing it, then
scanning it back in: you can actually sign it right in Mail.
The Parental Controls in OS X are simple, but there are plenty of
options in there – some of which are useful for other things than
preventing underage access. You can limit computer use to a certain
length of time every day, set a 'bedtime' after which users won't be
able to use the computer, limit the functions of the Finder, limit what
apps that user can use and more.You could, for example, disallow a
nervous computer user from modifying the Dock or changing their
password.

Right-clicking a taskbar icon brings up that's program's Jump List—quick
links to the most recent files you've opened with that program. Got a
file or template you open often? Pin it to the Jump List by dragging it
onto the program's taskbar icon, or by clicking the pin icon to the
right of the file name in the Jump List itself. Jump Lists can skirt
around Windows' frustrating refusal to pin individual folders to the
taskbar, pinning folders to the Jump List instead.
Next, go to the Processes tab. This shows you what processes are
currently running on your machine. While some of these are needed, some,
like those associated with music and video players or cloud storage
services (like Dropbox or Google Drive) can be disabled without causing
any problems.
You can shut Windows down with a few button clicks. It all starts with
Windows key + X to open the Quick Access Menu, followed by the U key to
expand the Shut down or sign out options. Finally, press I to sign out, U
to shut down, R to restart, H to hibernate, and S to sleep.
Before I started, I moved everything to an external hard drive, in case I
seriously damaged anything. Then, I painstakingly removed the plastic
body, setting the screws aside. Much to my horror, my dog decided to
play with the parts tray, sending screws flying off the bench. Luckily,
my feet have a way of finding them, especially in the dark! On the
bright side, I successfully removed all of the crucial components, and
the laptop can still be linked together and powered on.

The iPhone comes with a feature that enables it to share its 3G or 4G
mobile broadband connection with other devices (though this must be
allowed by your network operator), making it perfect for getting your
Mac online wherever you are. There are three ways to connect your Mac to
your iPhone to share its signal: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB.To begin, go
to the Personal Hotspot option in the iPhone's Settings menu, and turn
it on. If you want to connect over Wi-Fi, find the Wi-Fi network created
by the iPhone in your Mac's Wi-Fi options, select it, and enter the
password shown in the iPhone.To connect using USB, plug your iPhone into
your Mac and you should get a dialog that takes you to the Network
section in System Preferences, from which you can select the iPhone. For
Bluetooth, activate Bluetooth on both devices and pair them, and the
connection option should again appear in System Preferences >
Network.
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.
Preview is one one of the most under-appreciated apps on a Mac;
especially in later versions of OS X, it became hugely powerful, and
even for us at MacFormat, it does much of what we'd traditionally use a
more elaborate and expensive application such as Photoshop for. Do
yourself a favor: open an image in Preview and poke around the app's
menus and interface to see what it can do.
Question: Using Camera in LaptopBy Pam H. 0 found this helpfulNovember
3, 2014I have a camera in my laptop, and I don't know how to use it.
What should I do? By Pam H. Answer Was this helpful? YesBy 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 Was this

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.
For example, you can crop your image. Draw a selection with the regular
Rectangular Selection tool then either hit Command+K or choose Crop from
the Tools menu. Alternatively, show the Edit Toolbar and make a more
complex selection either with the Instant Alpha tool (like in iWork) or
use the Smart Lasso.
3. Adjust Your Settings While you'll still have to use the display and
the keyboard, you can adjust the settings for each to reduce power
consumption. One often overlooked power drain is keyboard backlighting.
Unless you're in the dark and need the backlight just to make out each
key, turn off the backlight entirely. You can typically assign a hotkey
for this function.
This is very cool how you list every single devices. While is it very
useful, it can be very daunting and overwhelming. I usually use 4 ranges
for my site that it…. 1)smallest for wearable, 2)smaller for mobile
phone, 3)medium for the tablet, and 4)large to max for laptop and
desktop. Thank you again for the detailed list. That is a lot of work
and I bow to you sir. Thank you again for awesome works on this site. I
learned a lot from this site. Reply ↓
While you're in the Device Manager, you can also turn off any unused
ports. Just like an extension cord left plugged into an outlet, these
unused plugs still have power going through them, and losing some in the
process. The actual impact on battery life will be minimal, but if
you're desperate for another minute or two of life, this will help. Take
a quick glance at your ports, and turn off anything that's not being
used, like USB ports with nothing connected to them.

Using a keyboard and mouse with your PS4 is as easy as plugging them
into the front of your console. Okay, you might not want to use them to
go on the rampage in GTA V, but if you’re doing some form-filling or web
browsing then it’s a lot easier than fiddling around with the DualShock

The menu bar has been a fixture on the Mac since it launched in 1984,
but since OS X El Capitan, you can hide the menu bar. Open System
Preferences, go to General, then click "Automatically hide and show the
menu bar."
you have 1824px which yes is understandable, very large screens, larger
then my imac monitor so therefore the grid system can expand. But then
you have 1224px, ok this is larger then the resolution of my macbook but
1200px at least is my imac size and to me the standard size of any
screen round a bout.
It used to be in Safari that if you wanted to delete caches and history,
you only had the nuclear option: nix everything.Since Yosemite, though,
when you choose Clear History and Website Data from the History menu of
Safari, you get the option of covering your tracks by clearing data
from the last hour, today, today and yesterday or, as before, from all
time.It clears your history from all devices signed into your iCloud
account too.
Finally, turn off or turn down the sound. If you need to hear, drop the
sound down as low as you can, and consider switching from the laptop's
larger speakers to a set of tiny earbuds to get the audio piped right to
your ears. Whenever possible, just mute the laptop altogether. That
way, the speakers won't be getting any power, and you'll buy yourself
some more precious time.
Increase the number of items in Jump Lists If you come to lean heavily
on Jump Lists (as yours truly does), there may eventually come a time
when you have so many files pinned to programs that the default 10-item
limit on Jump Lists just won't cut it. Fortunately, it's easy to alter
the number of files displayed by Jump Lists.Right-click on the taskbar,
select Properties, then open the Jump List tab in the dialog box that
appears. Here, you'll find some basic tools that let you fiddle with how
Jump Lists behave—including the number of items you want displayed when
you open a Jump List. Set it to the number you desire (more than 15 to
20 gets unwieldy) and click OK to save your changes.

In OS X 10.7, Preview gained the ability to add your signature to
documents. To get started, go to the Signatures tab in Preview's
preferences and then click the +. Now, sign your name in black ink on a
small piece of white paper and hold it up to your Mac's webcam. Line it
up and click Accept (making sure the 'Save this signature' option is
checked if you want to use it in the future).Now open a document you
want to sign, pop up the Edit Toolbar and click the signature icon – it
looks like an S on a line next to a tiny X. Draw a box to add your
signature on the form. You can scale and reposition it afterwards too.
Since Yosemite, clicking the green button at the top left of a window
now takes that window full screen rather than maximizing it, but you can
restore the old behavior by holding ⌥ as you hover over the green
button.But, there's more! Hold ⌥ as you resize one side of a window and
the window also resizes from the other side as well. Hold ⇧ and the
window resizes proportionally, aligned to the opposite edge (which
sounds a bit confusing but makes sense when you try it).Or, hold ⌥ and ⇧
when resizing a window for the whole thing to shrink down
proportionally around the centre. Put it all together and you could
click the green button to make a window fill the screen then resize one
edge while holding ⌥ and ⇧ so that you make it smaller but keep it
centered. OCD FTW!Word Count: 3013
