By popular request, we're including a quick list of the daily articles at the top of the daily email as well as the regular format near the bottom. | |
| A Bogon (a.k.a. Bogon Space and Bogon IP Address) is an unassigned, legitimate IP address on the Internet (not officially assigned to anyone yet by a proper registration authority). Bogons are popular with spammers and hackers for use in malicious activities, thus, many Internet service providers and firewalls actively block Bogons. | |
| This section contains what we're reading from around the web, along with commentary from our editors. Think of it like your daily digest of the most interesting things online. | |
| By default, each Notepad document has the name of the document in the header and the page number in the footer when you print a text file. However, you can customize the header and footer with special commands or custom text, or leave one or both blank. | |
| Google Keyboard continues to get to more advanced customization features, with the most recent version bringing the option to change the keyboard's height (among other tweaks). If you've ever thought "man, I could type so much faster if this keyboard were just a bit bigger" or "I'd love to see a little more of the screen, this keyboard is just too tall!" this is a tip for you. | |
| Your Xbox One’s Kinect should “just work” after you set it up, but occasionally you may experience problems with voice or people recognition. You can recalibrate and reset your Kinect to fix these and other problems. | |
| If you use the LibreOffice suite of programs, you'll be happy to learn about Open365. Just as LibreOffice is the free, open source alternative to Microsoft Office, Open365 is the free counterpart to the cloud-based Office 365. | |
| What do you do if you want to add a device to your HomeKit smart home, but the device doesn’t support HomeKit? You set up a middleman with the iHome iSP5, an inexpensive HomeKit-enabled smart outlet. | |
| If you want a quick and easy way to monitor your home while you’re away, here’s how to set up the SmartThings Home Monitoring Kit. | |
| You probably know about the mute switch on the side of your iPhone, and you may even know about the Do Not Disturb feature. These features may seem to do more or less the same thing–keep notifications from bugging you–but they have a few distinct differences. | |
| When you type in Word, paragraphs flow smoothly from one page to the next, and page breaks are automatically inserted when needed. However, what if you want to keep a certain paragraph together and not split the paragraphs between two pages? There's a simple fix for this. | |
| Picture this: You're sitting in a restaurant or coffee shop, just casually surfing the web on your phone. Being the savvy user you are, you're connected to the public Wi-Fi to save data. Suddenly, the public Wi-Fi stops working. But you don’t have to fret, because the “Smart Network Switch” feature on Samsung phones automatically switches to a mobile connection when Wi-Fi is too weak. | |
| iOS makes smart use of the Home button. You can double-click to switch apps, and even triple-click to do all sorts of things. The speed at which you need to click the Home button to register a double- or triple-click is fine for many people, but if you find yourself struggling to click the button fast enough, you can slow things down a bit. | |
| Solid-state drives aren’t anywhere near as small and fragile as they used to be. You don’t need to worry about wear, and you don’t need to go out of your way to “optimize” them. Windows 7, 8, and 10 automatically do the work for you. | |
