Note: These user scripts may also be added to other browsers as well (i.e. Iron, Opera, etc.). Before Bing Search does nicely on searches but what if you would like to try the same search with another search engine? Having to manually open a new tab, navigate to the appropriate website, and then start a new search is not too convenient. Another possible frustration for some people may be knowing just how many search results that they have looked through....

CyberSearch in Action Here is a list of the built-in keywords that come with the CyberSearch extension…definitely a very nice starting list. You will probably want to make a note of these somewhere for quick referencing until you have used the extension for a little bit. Time to see what things look like with some quick examples… Note: You can add new “personalized for you” keywords if desired in the options....

But buying (or building) something purpose-built for gaming has its benefits. This is especially true if you want to go the handheld route, with pocket emulators and handheld gaming systems hitting their stride since the launch of the Nintendo Switch in 2017. You may also be able to repurpose some of your existing gaming hardware for retro purposes. This gives you a choice between playing the latest releases and dipping into old favorites, all on a single piece of hardware....

Google has published a support page where it outlines how much time the Pixel Watch, its new smartwatch, will get updates. In that regard, Google is guaranteeing at least three years of software updates for the watch, listing October 2025 as a tentative cut-off date. Notably, this cut-off date also includes security patches, meaning that your Pixel Watch will live a whole two years less than your Pixel 7. Major updates on Wear OS watches aren’t as big of a thing as they are on smartphones — the Wear OS 3....

Overview There’s a number of problem areas where we want to maximize performance: Linux configuration There are usually services running that don’t need to be, wasting memory that could be used for more connections. MySQL configuration Often the default settings are based on a small server, we can add a few key changes to increase performance a great deal. Apache configuration By default most hosting providers install apache with nearly every module installed....

As per the company, an unauthorized third party gained access to the last four digits of the credit/debit card of several people. While your payment info isn’t in danger, that third party may have used those four digits to gain access to your Verizon account and process a SIM card change. If a SIM swap did occur, Verizon should’ve already reversed it. Verizon said that it has monitored the activity of the affected users and found no evidence that the malicious activity is still ongoing, or that the attackers gained access to personal information such as SSNs, full credit card numbers, tax IDs, or other info....

Linux namespaces are the underlying tech behind container technologies like Docker. They’re a feature of the Linux kernel that allows the system to restrict the resources that containerized processes see, and that ensures none of them can interfere with another. What Are Namespaces? When you’re running many different processes and applications on a single server, as is the case with deployment tools like Kubernetes, it’s important to have each process isolated, mostly for security....

So What Is It? The quick answer is that it’s part of the GTK+ library used by a number of cross-platform applications, perhaps the most well-known of which is the Pidgin instant messenger client. As the name implies, the file is used to store a list of the most recently used files. In the case of Pidgin, this comes into play when you are transferring files over IM, and that’s when the file will appear again....

So What Is It? No worries! Moe.exe is not the name of some malicious software infecting your system. Moe.exe (Mesh Operating Environment) is the core syncing engine for the new Windows Live Sync Beta, as well as the older Live Mesh. The new Live Sync is based on Mesh technology, and still includes the same syncing engine. This lets you synchronize folders between your computers and online storage at SkyDrive....

So What Is This Process? SearchIndexer.exe is the Windows service that handles indexing of your files for Windows Search, which fuels the file search engine built into Windows that powers everything from the Start Menu search box to Windows Explorer, and even the Libraries feature. You can see this for yourself by simply right-clicking on the process name in the Task Manager list, and then choosing Go to Service(s) from the menu....

But you never forget how to ride a bike, especially when the bike is shaped like Yoshi. Even when I was strapping on my mushroom head as Toad for the first time in years and losing over and over to my friends, I obnoxiously remarked, “Enjoy this time, because my skills will come back and then I’ll dominate.” And that’s exactly what happened. While it’s considered one of the great Nintendo Switch games, Mario Kart has applied changes over the years that make the gameplay not quite as fun as it used to be, and those changes all seem to punish good driving and make it harder to get better....

The QR Code Quick response (QR) codes are suddenly everywhere again. Invented in 1994 by an award-winning team at Denso Wave, a subsidiary of Toyota, the QR code has found its way into almost every industry. They’re like a barcode on steroids. They might look like drunken chess boards, but the higgedly piggedly black and white squares hold much more information than the stripes of a barcode. And QR codes can trigger one of a selection of actions inside the scanning device—usually a smartphone....

Hybrids Are the Perfect Compromise (for Now) This article isn’t about attacking electric cars. Affordable zero-emissions electric cars served by a widespread infrastructure of charging stations—all powered by inexpensive clean energy—is the dream. It’s a world we’d like to see. But electric cars have some serious issues as of 2022. They can be much more expensive than gas cars, and that new EV credit in the Inflation Reduction Act is pretty complicated....

Winamp was a popular media player application in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and it has received infrequent updates in recent years to address compatibility issues. Winamp 5.9 has now been released, marking the first major update since 2018. The stable version of Winamp 5.9 is now available to download for Windows PCs, following a beta release earlier this year. The media player still looks and works the same as before, but now officially supports Windows 11, media using the VP8 codec, and HTTPS media streams....

We’ve recently shown you how you can easily run WordPress software on your own site for free, and how to easily install it manually via FTP or Automatically with Softaculous. Running WordPress software on your own site gives you tons of flexibility and the ability to take you blog further than you could with the free, hosted WordPress.com. However, WordPress.com does give you some features that are not included out of the box with WordPress software on your own site....

Why Use a Video Doorbell Without a Chime? When most folks replace their plain ol’ button-based doorbell with a more advanced video doorbell, they want to keep their existing doorbell chime. I’m particularly fond of the huge Westminister brass bell system in my old home, and keeping it in working order with the right transformer upgrade for a video doorbell was important to me. But not everybody wants or needs a discrete digital or mechanical chime for their doorbell....

Before Usually when you copy a link in a webpage you do not have much in the way of options to work with in the “Context Menu”. What if you could choose from multiple formats when you copy that link? After Once you have installed the extension you can immediately start enjoying the ability to choose the “copy format” that best suits your needs. This is certainly much better than the “single” choice from before…...

Using Hyperwords Once the extension has finished installing you will be presented with a demo video that will let you learn more about how Hyperwords works. For our first example we chose to look for more information concerning “WASP-12b” using Wikipedia. Notice the small bluish circle on the lower right of the highlighted term…it is the default access for the Hyperwords menu (access by hovering mouse over it). If you hover over the Wikipedia (or other) link you can access the information in a scrollable popup window....

1. The Threat Actors Proudly Tell You Sometimes, if they are going to make money out of their attack the threat actors (the bad guys) need to communicate with you. Ransomware The encryption of all the files on your network and the inability of your company to process data will have informed you that the network has been compromised. The ransom note tells you how to pay to restore access to your own data....
