If you’re working on a Google Docs document with others, then you don’t need to rely on a third-party service to communicate. While you could add comments, another way to send messages is to use the built-in editor chat. You can also use this feature in other Google products, including Google Sheets and Google Slides. The steps below will work across all three services. RELATED: How to Add Comments in Google Docs...
Restricted Shells A restricted shell isn’t a different shell. It’s a different mode of a standard shell. The Bash, Korn, Fish, and other shells can all be started in restricted shell mode. We’ll be using Bash in this article, but the same principles apply to the other shells. Because restricted shells are just another way of using your standard shell, they are easy to set up. There’s nothing to install, and they’re available wherever Linux is....
Microsoft Teams lets you tag users so that you can mention or chat with an entire group of people at once without typing everyone’s names. Here’s how to set up group tags and add as many coworkers to it as needed. Mentioning people with an “@” is common in a lot of apps these days, whether it’s Slack, Discord, Microsoft Office, or many other apps. Teams is no exception to this, but now you can also create “tag groups” that let you add users and then mention that group to notify everyone in it without having to mention each individual name....
If you miss holding watch parties with your friends who aren’t able to join you in person, you can use Hulu’s Watch Party feature to gather up to seven additional friends together around one synchronized video feed. Unlike Netflix, which can only be shared through the third-party browser extension called Netflix Party, Hulu’s new feature is built right into the platform. The feature is currently only available on the ad-free plans....
Google Play Movies & TV launched in 2012 as a store for buying and renting, you guessed it, movies and TV shows. If you look for the app nowadays, you’ll find it has been renamed to “Google TV.” What happened? When Google rebranded the Android Market as the Google Play Store, it brought all of its digital distribution channels into one place. No longer was it only a place for Android apps and games, but it also included ebooks, music, movies, and TV shows....
Multiple Form Factors There are multiple form factors of the motherboard, which are all different sizes and suited for different uses. Here’s a look at the differences between form factors like ATX, MicroATX, and Mini-ITX if you want more detail on them. In general, however, most people are looking for an ATX board unless they intend on building a more compact PC. Smaller boards are not recommended for first-time builders, as the smaller space can lead to frustration for novices....
The Origin of the Windows Key It might seem like the Windows key has always been with us, but it hasn’t. It first appeared in September 1994 on the Microsoft Natural Keyboard. This ergonomic keyboard was in the same vein as the earlier Apple Adjustable Keyboard, which split the standard QWERTY keyboard in half. Unlike Apple’s keyboard, though, Microsoft’s tilted each half at gentle angles to reduce wrist strain. By this point, Microsoft had already created other hardware products, including its widely acclaimed mice....
Unlike with older feature phones, your iPhone’s alarm won’t sound if your phone is turned of or out of battery. The alarm will sound if your iPhone’s on silent or Do Not Disturb. Old Nokia and other dumb phones had a great feature: the alarm would sound even when the phone was turned off. This meant you could go to bed knowing your phone wasn’t going to make a sound until it was time for the alarm to wake you....
Microsoft ripped out many tablet-specific features from Windows with the release of Windows 11, but the company has shown interest in bringing some of them back. There’s now a tablet-friendly taskbar in testing ahead of the big 22H2 update. Microsoft redesigned nearly every aspect of Windows to work better on tablets for the release of Windows 8, which was part of the reason that update was so unpopular.
