There is, and it’s called Crossloop – a completely free screen sharing software that’s extremely simple to use and very secure… since it’s not enabled all the time. I’d advise installing this on their computer even before they have problems so you’ll be prepared. Yes, It’s Really This Simple Tell the person that you are trying to help to open the application and select the Host tab. They’ll need to give you the access code and then click the Connect button....

Rollable TVs Are a Curiosity Thanks to the sheer thinness of OLED screen technology and advancements in thin glass, it’s possible to make televisions that roll up into a base unit. The main appeal of this is that you can hide a TV within the room, only unrolling it when you actually have to use it. This is the sort of thing that appeals to wealthy customers who put a high priority on aesthetics, but it’s not really something general users are clamoring for....

When you underline the shortcut keys, it helps reinforce them in your mind every time you start to do any task that could be done with the keyboard instead. This is why I enable this option when I first start learning a new version of Windows. To turn this on, open up Control Panel, and type the word “underline” into the search box. You’ll be presented with a link for “Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys”, which you’ll want to click....

The Best of Both Worlds Just like other cryptocurrencies that use blockchains, stablecoins are secure and anonymous. But similar to the money in your wallet, stablecoins do not rapidly appreciate or depreciate in value. Stablecoins are designed to maintain the same price as the real-world asset it reflects. They act as an equivalent to cash in the cryptocurrency world. They can be pegged to government back currencies like the US dollar or even precious metals....

Before now, YouTube Music on Wear OS could only play music you previously downloaded to the watch. Since the Music app is mostly intended for streaming music away from your phone (for example, if you’re running outside with just your watch), that wasn’t a problem for many people, but it was still a silly limitation. Spotify on Wear OS had the same problem until August 2021, which was fixed just in time (heh) for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 launch....

So far we have taken a look at Microsoft’s Live SkyDrive and i also briefly covered Mozy Home a while back. Today lets take a look at ADrive which offers a whopping 50GB of free online storage. There are also a couple of premium plans they offer as well. Before signing up for any “pay for” service it is definitely a great idea to test the free versions before spending money....

Crossing Your Legs Although it’s tempting to cross your legs while sitting, it’s actually not good for your posture. It may feel comfortable, but crossing your legs can put extra stress on your hips and lower back. You may start feeling the need to slouch, too. The best way to sit is with both feet flat on the floor. If you’re unable to plant your feet firmly, you can get a footrest to help....

AMD revealed its new generation of Ryzen processors today at Computex 2022, called the Ryzen 7000 series. The processors will be the first to use AMD’s ‘Zen 4’ architecture, which the company says has an “extremely efficient 5nm” design — making it the first 5nm desktop processor ever (though the I/O components are 6nm). The smaller manufacturing die (in theory) means faster performance and improved power efficiency compared to older CPUs....

Installation Installing WinDirStat is as easy at it gets… the one thing to point out is that if running on legacy systems you want to make sure to check ANSI as a core component. Using WinDirStat When first launching WinDirStat you get the option to select All or Individual drives, you can even choose to scan a single folder. For this example I will go ahead and scan my local drive....

The first example to rear its head is the Weather Channel Desktop. Unless you are a extreme weather enthusiast there is really no reason to install. Even if you are a major weather enthusiast, there are a lot better applications out there to choose from. Just uncheck the box next to the license agreement. After that the next one to show up is the Ask Toolbar. Unless your default search engine is Ask … again there is not reason to install this....

Local Group Policy Editor To access Local Group Policy Editor click on Start and enter gpedit....

Google confirmed today that its two apps for video and audio calls, Meet and Duo, will be merged into a single service. Even though the new combined app will keep the Google Meet name, the mobile apps will be an update to the existing Duo app — the existing Meet app will eventually be renamed to ‘Meet Original’ and then discontinued. Conversation history, contacts, and messages will be retained throughout the transition....
