Safe Title Area | |
| The Safe Title Area (a.k.a. Safe Area, Safe Title Region, and Graphics-Safe Area) is the central rectangular area (approximately 80 percent of the screen) that is far enough from all four edges of the screen so that titles, text, and graphics all display cleanly (neatly) and legibly. | |

| 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. | |

|
| Virtual machines can use a large amount of disk space. If you want to regain some of that disk space, just deleting files inside the virtual machine won’t help. You’ll need to reclaim that disk space, shrinking the virtual hard disk and making it use less space on your Mac. | |

| It doesn’t seem so long ago that we had only one reliable way to connect a computer to an external monitor. Now the good old VGA port, may it rest in peace, is only found on designated “business” machines and adapters. In its place, we have a variety of alternatives, all of which seem to be fighting each other for the limited space on your laptop or graphics card. Let’s break down the options for your next PC purchase. | |

| After years of having a dedicated home button and physical navigation keys, Samsung ditched its traditional layout for a more modern, virtual approach on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. As a result, you can now customize the navigation panel along the bottom of the screen. | |

| Tags are a big part of photos on Facebook. They let your friends take pictures of you, and then when they tag you, they'll appear on your Facebook page. Without tags, you'd have to download and re-upload any photos you wanted on your page. Unfortunately, because you can be tagged in any photo, you can be tagged in photos that aren't of you, or photos where you don’t look so great.
