Before Here is our example webpage before starting the prank…looking all “normal like”. Upside Down in Action As soon as the extension has been installed you are ready to go. If you had a webpage open before installing the extension you will only need to refresh the page. As soon as the page has been refreshed or a new one is opened everything is going to look messed up very quickly....

Installation The window to pay attention to during the installation is the third one. Choose between having the program accessible to all accounts/users on your computer or just the current one. A Good Look at Directory Printer Once you have started Directory Printer, there are four tab areas to look through. The “Welcome Tab Area” provides basic information and tips for using the program. The “Print Tab Area” is focused on directly printing the information that you need....

Bandwidth Costs Money Video files are fairly large as fair as media goes, compared to images and audio. AWS charges you for storage space and for bandwidth used. If you have a 100 MB video file that is viewed 1,000 times, that’s nearly 100 GB of bandwidth, or $8.50 in bandwidth costs using CloudFront to serve the content. If your application hosts video, this can be a major cost factor....

Memory, Compute (CPU), or I/O Bound? Whenever your system runs slow, it is almost always due to the slowest component or chain of components in your system. This can sometimes be caused by software, but often, it’s the hardware that’s the culprit. For example, if you have a very old and slow disk – for example, a still somewhat common 5400 RPM spinning disk, often referred to as an HDD, or Hard Disk Drive – that disk may be the bottleneck in your system....

Whether you manage 10,000 desktops or simply manage your own laptop, it’s usually best to test out a new OS before installing it. If you’re upgrading from Windows XP you may find many things unfamiliar. Microsoft has setup a special Windows 7 Test Drive website with resources to help IT professionals test and deploy Windows 7 in their workplaces. This is a great resource to try out Windows 7 from the comfort of your browser, and look at some of the new features without even installing it....

Google has announced that its next big hardware event will be held next month, on October 6, 2022. There, we’ll get to know more info about Google’s next hardware launches, which were teased during Google I/O 2022 earlier this year. Google is expected to completely reveal (and perhaps even release) the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro at the event. Both phones have leaked extensively over the past few months, and recently, someone even unboxed one, so we’re already pretty familiar with it....

Photo by visual.dichotomy. What To Look For There are a ton of different microphone options, and a long list of specifications for each. Which of these matter and which are just hype? Form Factor The biggest difference between microphones is their form factor. This should be the first thing that you decide on. If you’re a gamer or just prefer all-in-one devices, a headset is a good choice. Headsets are headphones that have a microphone attached to them....

Microsoft released the first version of its completely-new Outlook email app for Windows back in May, but it had many limitations. It’s still not ready to replace the Outlook we all know and love, but there are some new features, and more people can try it. The new Outlook is based on the web app (also known as Outlook.com), and will likely arrive on other platforms in the future. However, the initial testing release was missing many features (offline, re-ordering folders, IMAP, POP, etc....

The envelope system is a simple and fun way to save, organize, and store your receipts and keep reliable financial records. Step 1: Save All Your Receipts During the Month Throughout the month, get a receipt for each purchase you make. If a cashier doesn’t give you your receipt, don’t forget to ask. When making online purchases, make sure to print out the receipts immediately. If you can, print them out on thin paper and format them so they’re similar in shape and size to normal receipts....

What Is 2FA / MFA? 2FA stands for two factor authentication, and MFA stands for multi-factor authentication. Often these terms are used interchangeably but they do not mean the same thing. 2FA is basically “two factors” (to authenticate yourself to something or someone) and MFA is basically “multiple factors” (again, to authenticate yourself), so you can think about 2FA as a subset of MFA. For the purposes of this article, we’ll use the term 2FA for simplicity, though in some cases what you may be using is MFA....

Messaging queues are used to transmit short messages between disconnected services. They can be used for communication in microservices as well as distributed systems that need to be kept in sync. We’ll discuss the fundamentals, as well as how to use them with AWS SQS. How Do Messaging Queues Work? You can think of message queues as the “glue” between disconnected services. They provide a link between message producers and message consumers....

Disable Bixby From the Power Button Let’s kick things off with arguably the most annoying part of Samsung Galaxy phones: Bixby. Not many people like Samsung’s virtual assistant, yet the company ties it to the Power Button by default. If you don’t use Bixby, you should take the Power Button back. You can restore the power button’s original function, which is to show the options for “Power Off” and “Restart.” At least Samsung gives us the option....

Apps Require a Newer OS Version Than Your Phone Supports Smartphones are all about apps. Without apps, there’s not much your phone can do! After some time, your phone manufacturer will no longer offer operating system (OS) updates for your phone. How long this takes depends on the phone manufacturer and their commitment to supporting a given handset, but once the OS updates end, you’re on the clock. Eventually, new versions of apps will require an OS version later than your phone supports....

Accessing QuickNote After installing the extension QuickNote can be accessed through the “View Menu” for the “Sidebar Version” or… Through the “Tools Menu”. Using the “QuickNote Sub-menu” will let you access the “Floating Window, Sidebar, & Tab Versions”. If you prefer the keyboard ninja method, you may access the “Floating Window Version” using “Ctrl + F7”. QuickNote in Action For our example we decided to open all three versions at the same time....

Installation & Setup Once the extension has finished installing you will see an “empty spot” that is actually your new invisible “Boss Button” and a short extension management message. Invisible is good! Note: During our tests the Boss Button remained invisible regardless of theme background color (excellent!). The “Boss Button” will appear as an “empty box button” when you hover over it. Note: There is only one option to worry with…choosing a “prim and proper” webpage as your cover....

Before Normally if you would like to see the “print preview for” or “print out” a webpage you have to use the “File Menu” after moving your mouse all the way to the upper left corner. Not much fun if you like having a minimal UI or just wish that there was an easier alternative way to do the same thing… After After getting your new extension installed it is a lot easier to get a “print preview for” or “print out” that webpage....

If you’re frequently stopping and restarting your EC2 instances, hibernation can save you money—It allows you to pause your instance like a virtual machine and restart it at another time, which can be used to drastically speed up loading times of On-Demand instances. Hibernation Speeds Up Load Times A common use case for On-Demand EC2 instances is quite literally spinning them up on demand, as necessary. If your demand is higher during mid-day, you might want to add an extra instance behind your load balancer to handle the extra traffic....
