iOS’s home screen and app launcher haven’t been updated since the original introduction of the original iPhone back in 2007. Yes, the UI has seen updates – the implementation of folders and the like – but honestly, Apple hasn’t updated the iOS home screen looks or functionality at all in the past nine or so years of iHistory. It used to be that the ONLY way you could make a change to the iOS home screen was to jailbreak the device....
Installing tmux Getting tmux ready and running on your system is relatively simple if you are using a Linux distribution. For Ubuntu, this means summoning apt from your terminal and installing the package from the distribution’s official repository. For other distros, use your included package manager to handle the installation. (tmux is available on most distributions.) Got it? Great! Now, let’s split our screen. Creating Windows and Panes In tmux, two terms are used to describe the main types of layout configurations we can create....
Windows users have it easy. If they’re willing to part with a few hundred dollars, they can use Adobe Acrobat for all of their PDF manipulation needs. On Linux, there’s no one tool that does everything that Acrobat does. The closest is pdftk, a powerful command tool that’s like a Swiss Army Knife for working with PDFs. pdftk’s strength, and weakness, is that it’s a command line utility. There’s nothing wrong with the command line, but if you only use pdftk once in a while then you’ll probably struggle to remember the commands that you need....
Note: Some extensions are not available in the Chrome store for security reasons. Before you bypass the Chrome store and install an extension manually, make sure that the extension you are installing is free of virus/malware. In the example below, I will be installing an extension called “Google Stars” that is NOT available in the Chrome store. The procedure is the same for any extension you wish to install. All you need to have is the ....

So here we’re going to show you the things you can do and download to multitask properly on your Android device. Use that Recent Apps Button Maybe this one’s aimed more for the elder Android users, with the young ones finding the benefits of that third navigation bar button besides “Back” and “Home” bleedingly obvious. But the amount of times I’ve seen less experienced Android users hitting the Home button, then manually navigating to the previous app they were just using has inspired me to take a stand....
Before we begin, it’s important to realize that mouse recording is a little bit stupid. It simply records and plays back a series of actions. It doesn’t change based on context or window position, so simple things can cause it to fail. For example, if you accidentally move a window a couple of pixels, the cursor might miss a button and cause the whole macro to fail. For this reason, mouse recording is only particularly useful in niche circumstances, like repeating the same exact action many times without change....
The Cause This seems a little bizarre, as flash drives don’t normally shrink this way. What causes a memory drive to “forget” that it has more space than it’s actually reporting? When handling storage media, you may come across what’s known as “partitions.” Partitions are a way of dividing the drive so you can have two separate “blocks” on one drive. For instance, you can divide your hard drive into two partitions, install Windows on one and Linux on the other, and then choose which to boot into during boot time....
There are a few plugins for the purpose. Some of them haven’t been updated in a while, so it’s not certain if they are working properly with the latest WordPress versions. Because of this I don’t usually recommend them. Unfortunately, WP Image Size Limit is the only plugin I managed to find that limits the file size of the image files you want to upload. The next best thing are plugins that limit the dimensions of images....
During the times when a Chromecast is sitting idle, it downloads high definition images for the backdrop. That can be up to 15 GB of data every month. These are beautiful pictures, but if you don’t have unlimited download data, are they worth the gigabytes? If you have unlimited data, then it’s probably not a big deal, but if you have a limit, this article will show how to stop it or significantly reduce it....

In order to do so, you are going to need a flashing tool called Odin. It is a tool for Samsung devices that helps users flash ROMs on their devices.

This is a very useful feature for those who are on a set schedule each day/week – especially those who work from home. For instance, you can schedule your Mac to turn on a few minutes before it’s time to work. Maybe you leave your Mac on all evening and want to schedule it to shut down after the time that you usually go to sleep. Luckily, all of this can be done without installing any additional apps on your Mac....
While that is a really nice feature, it has a drawback: your confidential data is not secure. Any user who accesses your computer can see your stored logins and then get access to your website accounts without your permission. This usually happens when you share your computer with others. Well, Mozilla knew that things like this would happen in the future, so they have a feature in place called Master Password....

Last year, Google unveiled the Titan Security Key to use as part of the authorization process. This key is a physical device that you need to plug in or place near the system on which you are trying to access your Google account. The device was well-received and used by businesses and workgroups, but it didn’t take off with consumers because of the $50 price tag. Now Google has announced that you will be able to use your smartphone as a replacement for the Titan Security Key in its new 2-Step Verification system (2SV)....
How to Share Your Calendar with People Who Have Google Accounts Google allows you to share your Google Calendar with anyone at any time. By sharing your calendar with an individual or team, you’re granting them access to see all events and reminders listed on that specific Google Calendar (unless you change the visibility of specific events). Therefore, you should use discretion when sharing your entire calendar with someone. How to Share Your Google Calendar with an Individual If you’d like to share your Google Calendar with another individual and know their email address, follow these steps: Once you share your calendar, the individuals receiving the link will need to have Google Calendar already set up (meaning they will need a Google account)....
