|
| Twitter is great, but sometimes, in the heat of the moment, you can tweet something you shouldn't have—perhaps an overly defensive reply to a follower or off-the-cuff comment you didn't put enough thought into. | |
|
| Browsers want to be helpful, so they always offer to save your passwords when you sign into websites. If you use a separate password manager like LastPass or 1Password—or if you just want to store your passwords in your own brain—you can make your browser stop asking you to save passwords. | |

| When it comes to digital distribution for PC games, Steam is the undisputed champion, serving up approximately 2.4 billion total game sales as of March 2017. But just because it currently has a lead in the market doesn’t mean you need to curtail your choices for digital game purchases. Here are 10 alternatives to Steam for PC gamers, some of which offer Steam compatibility, and which often beat it on price as well. | |
|
| Windows automatically suspends your USB devices when they aren’t being used. This helps save power, but may cause problems with some USB hardware.

| The DVD industry is declining, which can be seen from the dramatic decrease of Netflix DVD subscribers. However, most people are really concerned about their possession of movies and music they purchase. For them, only if they get a physical disc filled with wanted media, they own it verily. In the meantime, they also desire for a digital copy for flexible playback or other good reasons.

| Fraps is best known as an easy and lightweight way to see an active readout of your PC games’ frames per second—that’s where the name comes from. But it’s also a surprisingly flexible way to record game footage for posting to YouTube, Twitch, and other web video services. The relatively low resource usage and easy activation make it ideal for quickly starting and stopping the record function. Here’s how it’s done. | |

| Android Wear watches aren't necessarily like your phone: they're more of an auxiliary device than a standalone unit, so most of the time you don't install a bunch of stuff directly onto the watch itself (though with Android Wear 2.0, this is possible). But you can store music on it for freedom from the phone, so sometimes you just need to know how much storage is left on the watch so you don't run out. Here's how to check it. | |
|
| Windows hides many files and folders by default, preventing users from deleting or modifying files they shouldn’t touch. But you can make Windows show these hidden files by changing a single setting. | |

| Smartphones have been around for almost a decade, but even now, when I'm browsing the web on my iPhone, I run into websites that don't work very well.
