Today's Tech Term
Savegame | |
| Savegame (a.k.a. Saved-Game) is a term for the data file (block of saved data) that contains a record of the progress made by a player in a game that prevents a person from having to start over the next time they play. In some instances, a Savegame file can be “modified” in order to “cheat” via the addition of attributes and/or items not earned during regular game play. | |

| Steam has a built-in system for making a backup of its game files, so you don’t have to re-download a full game every time you uninstall it and want to play again later. But like a lot of Steam’s features, it hasn’t been updated in quite a while, and frankly it often manages to break the game restoration process anyway. On top of that, it’s slow, it’s clunky, and you can do better on your own. | |
|
| Android is all about choice: like the option to use different apps for different things, or to change apps with one tap. But on the Galaxy S8 (and S7 running Nougat), Samsung changed the option to launch specific apps “just once” and automatically make them the default choice. | |

| There are a lot of misconceptions out there about who is able to do what with photographs. One of the most pervasive ideas is that because you're in a photo you own it, have "joint copyright", or our in some other way entitled to use it. To some degree it makes sense: that's your face in the picture, but sadly it's just not how things work. So let's answer the question properly: do you own a photo if you're in it? | |
|
| Windows 10 includes OneDrive, but if you’d rather not see it, there are several ways to disable OneDrive and remove it from File Explorer on Windows 10. | |
|
| It can be very frustrating when your professor says one thing about PowerShell and various websites seem to offer solid proof to the contrary. Does PowerShell actually work on non-Windows systems or not? Today’s SuperUser Q&A post has the answer to a puzzled reader’s question. | |
|
| You encrypt your Mac’s system drive like you should: if your computer is stolen, your data is safe from prying eyes. But on your desk, right next to your Mac, is a carbon copy of everything on your hard drive: your Time Machine backup. Wouldn’t anyone who grabbed that drive have access to all the same information? | |
|
| Every night when I go to bed, I want to turn all of my lights off…except the bedroom light. I wan to turn that light on at bedtime. Using Stringify, I can finally create a single voice command that turns some lights off, and others on. | |
|
| Spotlight search on iOS 10 now remembers your previous searches. If you tap the Spotlight search bar on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll see a list of searches you’ve performed. Here’s how to clear that list—or hide it entirely. | |
|
| As one of its earliest services, Gmail remains the cornerstone of Google’s online presence. So when you forget your Gmail password, and I don’t want to overstate things here, it’s basically like you’re an Internet ghost haunting the halls of your former life. | |
|
| If you’re like me, you can’t stand having to switch keyboard modes just to hit an exclamation mark or comma in the middle of a body of text. The thing is, this is Gboard’s default setting. Fortunately, there’s a really simple way to fix it. | |
|
| Blocking someone on Twitter is pretty extreme. You won't be able to see their Tweets, but they also won't be able to see yours. If someone's only crime is Tweeting too much (and you can't unfollow them because they're your friend or you want to be able to Direct Message them), then blocking them is a little over the top. Instead, the best solution is to Mute them. | |
|
| You’re likely reading this because you noticed a gigantic hiberfil.sys file sitting on your system drive and you’re wondering if you can get rid of it to free up some space. Here’s what that file is and how you can delete it if you want to. | |
