| In the Thai language, the number “5” is pronounced “ha”, so Thai speakers will sometimes use “555” to stand in for “hahaha” when chatting or texting.  | |

Today's How-To Geek Articles | |
| 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.

|
| An SCA (short for Single Connector Attachment) is an 80-pin plug/socket connector used to connect peripherals, such as a disk drive, to a computer system. | |
|
| 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. | |
|
| RGB lighting in computer hardware, especially gaming-branded gear, is a divisive subject. Either you think it’s really cool and you want it in all your stuff, or you have good taste. (I kid, I kid.) But despite the rather flashy nature of LED-soaked “battlestation” gaming setups, there’s actually a surprising amount of utility to be found deep in all that rainbow-colored extravagance. Even if you aren’t a fan of the aesthetic, it’s worth considering the next time you’re assembling a gaming PC. | |
|
| With the Galaxy S8 family, Samsung took an all-in bet on a different aspect ratio for the display. Instead of a traditional 16:9 ratio, the S8 uses 18.5:9. It’s not that different, but different enough that it can cause some issues with certain apps. | |
|
| As with all social media sites, sometimes people want a break from Snapchat. You could just log out, but then people can still send you messages and they'll think you're ignoring them when you don't respond. Instead, it's better to deactivate or delete your account. | |
|
| Many people swear by multiple monitors, whether they’re computer geeks or just people who need to be productive. Why use just one monitor when you can use two or more and see more at once? | |
|
| An HDMI port is just an HDMI port, right? Except if you peer closely at the back of your HDTV and other HDMI-capable home theater components, you’ll notice quite a few tiny labels that indicate not all ports are equal. What do those labels mean, and does it matter which port you use? | |
|
| When it comes to home improvement projects, a power drill is one of the most common tools you’ll need. But an impact driver is perhaps an upgraded version that you should consider adding to your arsenal. | |
|
| Touch ID on the new MacBook Pro makes logging in so much easier: just place your finger on the power button, and you’re in. It’s a small thing, but it makes waking up your computer and logging in nearly instant. | |
|
| Voice assistants like Google Home are excellent kitchen aids. They can set timers, add things to your grocery list, and play music while you cook. But the Google Home has one standout kitchen feature: you can use it to read off recipes one step at a time while you cook. Here’s how to find recipes, send them to Google Home, and get hands-free step-by-step instructions. | |
|
| 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. | |
