It turns out that most of the bigger feed readers like Google Reader and Netvibes will actually show you the count during the request for your feed. All you have to do is take a peek inside your access log files. First you’ll need to locate your apache logfile, which is normally called access_log or access.log. The location for this file will vary greatly based on distribution and your hosting provider....

Google only revealed a few games that will make their way to the service, but it’s better than what we knew from the initial announcement, which was simply that games are coming. Now, Google has said that Mobile Legends, Summoners War, State of Survival, and Three Kingdoms Tactics will all make their way to Windows. In the image and video Google shared, you can also see additional games including State of Survival: The Joker Collaboration, Top War: Battle Game, Rise of Empires: Ice and Fire, Township, Idle Heroes, Dragon Mania Legends, Cookie Run: Ovenbreak, and Asphalt 9: Legends....

Just download the registry patch, unzip, and then double-click on the file. You’ll get a bunch of UAC prompts asking if you really want to do this. After the patch has been added, right click on the desktop and choose Refresh, and you should see your new Recycle Bin icon without the text: This is pretty sweet. If you want to restore the Recycle Bin icon text, you can download this registry patch instead, unzip, and then double-click on the file....

Not everything you want to show in your presentation is as easy as adding an image. Maybe you need to draw a picture of your own. You have two ways to draw on Google Slides and we’ll show you both. Whether it’s something basic like a stick figure or smiley face or something more complex like an idea for a new product or logo design, Google Slides offers up ways to make it happen....

In the Beginning was the Geek I registered the domain name in September 2006 but we didn’t officially launch until October. I started off by writing some articles about Linux because I figured that nothing is more confusing to non-geeks than linux, until… …a few months later I got my hands on a copy of Windows Vista and realized: “This is confusing, I bet people are going to need help with this”....

With Apple’s AirPods Pro and AirPods 3rd generation, you can play and pause music out of the box (without having to configure anything).

First, Get the File Ready to Print Before we go to find a printer to use, you’ll need to make sure the document is ready to print. There are a couple of different ways you can do this, but the first thing to do is “Print to PDF.” The “Print to PDF” feature is essentially a way to save the document as it would be printed. Rather than choosing a printer during the printing process, you select “Print to PDF” instead....

What Is Shadowsocks? Shadowsocks is a tool that uses the SOCKS5 proxy to reroute and disguise internet traffic and thus get past censorship blocks. It was developed initially by a Chinese programmer and is thus particularly useful in getting past the Great Firewall of China, though we’ve received reports you can use it for bypassing other regimes’ blocks, too. However, if you’re looking to change your Netflix region or use BitTorrent, you’re much better off using a VPN....

To ensure there’s no downtime due to pushing problematic code straight to the main branch on GitHub, you should create a new branch and work there. Before you can actually work there, though, you’ll need to switch to it. Switch Branches From the GitHub Website To switch branches from the GitHub website, first launch your preferred browser, go to GitHub’s official website, log in to your account, and then select the repository your branch is in....

This steep learning curve makes it hard to commit when choosing software. At the same time, free products just don’t cut it. iMovie, a common name in video editing, is only native to Mac, iPhone, and iPad, while Adobe Premiere Rush lacks features and requires a Creative Cloud subscription for syncing projects. On the paid side, however, Wondershare Filmora is a clear contender. The latest version, Filmora 11, not only builds on Filmora’s already quick and easy ethos, but it boasts features sure to make even a novice user look like a seasoned pro....

For Windows you can always turn on Automatic Updates, and with software applications there is often an option to automatically check for updates, but not always, so we are left with researching and manually updating all of these applications. This is not a very efficient way for a busy user to get things done, so today we will take a look at a great utility called Secunia Personal Software Inspector that will help avoid these time wasting annoyances....

The new foldable PC, which Lenovo has unhelpfully labelled as “the new ThinkPad X1 Fold,” is still a single folding OLED screen with PC hardware inside. The display is a 16.3-inch panel, 22% larger than the screen on the first X1 Fold, with a resolution of 2024 x 2560. Lenovo also reduced the bezels around the screen, and the entire device is 25% thinner. Just like the older X1 Fold, and the Zenbook 17 Fold that ASUS just revealed, the new foldable can be used in a few different modes....

Built in Methods There area couple of ways to open bookmarks in a new tab which are built into Firefox and do not require an extension. Right-click on the bookmark and select “Open in a New Window”. If your mouse has a middle scroll wheel you can just click it to open a bookmark in a new window.

What Is an MCM GPU? The concept of an MCM GPU is simple. Instead of one large GPU chip containing all the processing elements, you have multiple smaller GPU units connected to each other using an extremely high-bandwidth connection system, sometimes referred to as a “fabric.” This allows the modules to speak to each other as if they were part of a monolithic GPU. Making smaller GPU modules and binding them together is advantageous over the monolithic approach....

The Sumatra PDF viewer comes as one single .exe file, and is about as minimal as you can get… it launches in less than a second for me, and the clean interface is great. But that’s not the best part… it’s got shortcut keys that are very similar to Gmail and Google Reader. (Except j and k are swapped for some unknown reason) Here’s the list of shortcut keys: space – scroll by screen backspace – scroll back by screen k – scroll by one line j – scroll back by one line Down – scroll by one line Up – scroll back by one line n – goto next page p – goto previous page Page Down – go to next page Page Up – go to previous page g – goto page q – quit + – zoom in – – zoom out r – reload PDF document + – rotate clockwise – – rotate counter-clockwise Home – go to first page End – go to last page...
