Gunnar Permalink to comment# July 15, 2014 Hi, I’m
wondering why so many different pixel-sets of different media-querys
exists to somehow cover every potential screen resolution. What will
happen if in maybe one year a complete different resolution will be
required because of new hardware? Isn’t there a way to be more flexible
and to work with proportions of a screen based on the actual font-size…
e.g. with the attribute “em” ? Reply ↓
One really easy way to view someone else's screen or even control their
Mac over the internet – which is invaluable if you're helping
troubleshoot a relative's computer problems – is to launch Screen
Sharing by searching for it with Spotlight then entering the Apple ID of
the person you're trying to contact. (If you or they don't know it,
just have them look in the iCloud pane of System Preferences. And while
they're there, make sure Screen Sharing is enabled in the Sharing pane
of System Preferences.)
To begin, go to the Personal Hotspot option in the iPhone's Settings
menu, and turn it on. If you want to connect over Wi-Fi, find the Wi-Fi
network created by the iPhone in your Mac's Wi-Fi options, select it,
and enter the password shown in the iPhone.

Right-click on the taskbar, select Properties, then open the Jump List
tab in the dialog box that appears. Here, you'll find some basic tools
that let you fiddle with how Jump Lists behave—including the number of
items you want displayed when you open a Jump List. Set it to the number
you desire (more than 15 to 20 gets unwieldy) and click OK to save your
changes.

Netflix’s built-in star rating offers a rough guide as to the quality
of the movie/show – but when you really need the wisdom of a larger
crowd, try the Chrome extension Netflix Enhancer. The recently-revised
tool allows you to see a film's Rotten Tomatoes score as well as its
IMDb rating – not to mention access to other IMDb content as well as any
trailers. Still indecisive? Try Netflix Roulette. Put in an actor, a
genre, or another determining factor, and hey - who knows what you’ll
end up watching. Looking to upgrade your TV? Best 4K TVs: Amazon's most

Launch taskbar programs with your keyboard Many of us—especially users
of the Start Menu-less Windows 8—use the Windows taskbar as a quick
launch bar, populating it with our day-to-day programs. Opening those
programs is as simple as clicking them, but there's actually a faster
way to launch software on your taskbar: Simple keyboard
combinations.Every program to the right of the Start button is assigned
its own numerical shortcut, with the first program being "1," the second
being "2," and so on, all the way to the 10th taskbar shortcut, which
gets "0." Pressing the Windows key, plus the number of the program you
want to open, launches it. For example, in the image at left, pressing
Win + 3 launches the Chrome browser.

I have a website Noobpost I’m trying to figure out how many media
queries max-width sizes I should use, right now I have four, but it
doesn’t seem to work well with landscape views. It also appears I need

Fixing a solid-state drive inside your PlayStation 4 isn’t going to give
it any extra processing oomph, but it can do wonders for game loading
times. It’s especially effective for those games that insist on having
enormous saves (we’re looking at you, Witcher 3). The process isn’t
difficult and only takes a few minutes from start to finish.

For every geek who swears by keyboard shortcuts, there are a dozen
casual users who rely on their mice. Activating icon checkboxes lets you
select multiple files to manage simultaneously, without having to hold
down the Ctrl button as you click each one.…unless you add checkboxes to
Windows icons, that is. In Windows 7, type Folder options into the
Start Menu's search bar. Next, open the "View" tab in the window that
appears and ensure the "Use check boxes to select items" checkbox is
checked. In Windows 8, just open Windows Explorer, open the "View" tab,
and check the "Item check boxes" box in the Show/Hide pane.

Turn off notificationsthodonal88/ShutterstockWhen you go to a lot of
websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, news sites, and even your
email they ask to enable notifications when there is activity on your
profile or a breaking news story. This is using battery because your
computer is constantly refreshing information from those sites even
though you may not have them open.

We’ve talked before about the things every computer user should know how
to do, but we geeks are special: we want to go above and beyond, to
explore every nook and cranny of our system and make everything easier.
Here are ten ways to do just that.

robbiegod Permalink to comment# April 7, 2012 You would have to research
each device you want to target to find out the heights or find the
phone with the lowest resolution to use as a baseline. Honestly, you
should just structure your page so all important vital things are at the
top and less vital things below that. Amd make it so your 2ndary things
are partly visible so they know tp scroll, but I think it is mostly
implied. Look at other mobile sites and measure. Reply ↓
Chris Dill Permalink to comment# April 4, 2013 You could always just
keep the content centered (or left aligned) on the page at a normal
width, say 960 or 1024px which would allow it to be readable. To fill up
the extra space on the sides you could use a gradient, clever shadows,
or some images to “fill” up the blank space. My site maxes out at 960px
so it looks the same on 1600 wide monitors, and 1900 wide monitors and
beyond. A word of advice- when designing for large screen, testing or
actually designing for a large screen is really helpful- it is hard to
visualize a large screen when working on a 13″ laptop. Reply ↓
This is perhaps one of the most basic privacy options that just about
anyone can take advantage of. The top four most popular browsers -
Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Safari - have a
private browsing mode, which can be found in their respective settings
menus. With private browsing activated, your browser will not store
cookies or internet history on your computer. This has very limited uses
and is perhaps really only effective at hiding your browsing history
from your significant other, siblings or parents. Private browsing does
not securely hide your identity or browsing activities beyond your local
machine as your IP address can still be tracked.
Finally, keep things cool. Heat will shorten the long-term life of the
battery, so take steps to provide optimal airflow and cooling. The
biggest problems come from physical obstruction of the ventilation
ports. Dust buildup is one problem, which you can take care of by
cleaning the laptop's vents and fan. A can of compressed air can be used
to blow out some of the dust. The more frequent issue that crops up is
using the laptop on a pillow or blanket, which can both obstruct the
ventilation fan and retain the heat coming off of the system. This can
be avoided by only using your laptop on surfaces like a table or desk,
and a lapdesk will make a big difference when using a laptop in bed.
One of the great things about iMessage is the ability to create a group
chat with a few of your friends or colleagues so that it's easy to
arrange meet-ups or discuss work stuff. But these conversations can take
on a life of their own, and if your friends' comedy routines or an
irrelevant tangent in a work conversation start to irritate you, you can
easily mute a thread so that you can reclaim some Zen.Click Details at
the top right of the window when you're on one of these noisy threads
and you'll see a checkbox marked Do Not Disturb. The chat will keep
coming in, but you won't be notified when replies arrive. (This also, of
course, works on one-to-one chat threads.) You can also leave a group
conversation completely.
Decluttering your drive will also make it more efficient. Practice good
computer hygiene and regularly remove unwanted programs, clean out
cobwebbed files, and ditch any excess bloatware that came with your
system. Your cleanup should also include cleaning out the cache on your
Web browser and deleting all of the old files from your downloads
folder. Windows also has built-in tools for this (search for "Disk
Cleanup"), or there are a number of free and paid system tune-up
utilities with even richer capabilities.
Increase the number of items in Jump Lists If you come to lean heavily
on Jump Lists (as yours truly does), there may eventually come a time
when you have so many files pinned to programs that the default 10-item
limit on Jump Lists just won't cut it. Fortunately, it's easy to alter
the number of files displayed by Jump Lists.Right-click on the taskbar,
select Properties, then open the Jump List tab in the dialog box that
appears. Here, you'll find some basic tools that let you fiddle with how
Jump Lists behave—including the number of items you want displayed when
you open a Jump List. Set it to the number you desire (more than 15 to
20 gets unwieldy) and click OK to save your changes.
“If you think responsive’s simple, I feel bad for you son. We got 99

As any power user knows, keyboard shortcuts will save you lots of time.
Jupyter stores a list of keybord shortcuts under the menu at the top:
Help > Keyboard Shortcuts, or by pressing H in command mode (more on
that later). It’s worth checking this each time you update Jupyter, as
more shortcuts are added all the time.
Prior to El Capitan, OS X defaulted to grouping items in Notification
Center by app. Since El Capitan, Apple switched things up and now groups
them by date instead. For instance, all your notifications from today
will show up together, which can be useful for seeing what you missed
while you were stuck in that all-day meeting.If you prefer the old
per-app grouping, though, go to System Preferences > Notifications,
then change the sort order as you please: look for the pop-up menu
labelled "Notification Center sort order." Play with the different
options and see which one works for you.

Some apps have more menu bar options than you can hope to keep track of,
but instead of searching through each drop-down list manually, you can
use the last Help menu to speed things up. It contains a search box,
where you can type in the name of the option you're looking for.Results
come up underneath it, and hovering over a result will show you which
menu it's in, or you can just click the result to select it.
nate Permalink to comment# January 6, 2016 I just want to know how to
set up media queries to work with the majority of devices.
Device-specific is not the route I’d like to go because there are an
insane amount of devices, but I still want to know the basic media query
breakpoints that I should use and best practices for doing so. Any
tips?
When you use the volume up and down keys on your Mac's keyboard, the
difference between one tap and the next can actually be pretty big –
especially if you're driving some meaty external speakers. Hold down ⌥
and ⇧ as you tap those keys, though, and the increments become much
smaller.
You can shut Windows down with a few button clicks. It all starts with
Windows key + X to open the Quick Access Menu, followed by the U key to
expand the Shut down or sign out options. Finally, press I to sign out, U
to shut down, R to restart, H to hibernate, and S to sleep.
However, in IOS there is only one device-width. It’s the shorter side,
no matter what orientation. So actually, for the iphone 4 and 4s the
device-width is 320px — even in landscape orientation.

the heights or find the phone with the lowest resolution to use as a

Finally, turn off or turn down the sound. If you need to hear, drop the
sound down as low as you can, and consider switching from the laptop's
larger speakers to a set of tiny earbuds to get the audio piped right to
your ears. Whenever possible, just mute the laptop altogether. That
way, the speakers won't be getting any power, and you'll buy yourself
some more precious time.
Launch Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder to see current
processes, and the resources they take up. The columns show you things
such as the CPU usage of a process or the RAM it's taking up. If there's
a process that's hogging resources and you're confident it's not
needed, you can end it by selecting it, then clicking Quit Process.
When someone sends an SMS – a text message in the original mobile phone
sense – to your iPhone, it appears in a green bubble rather than a blue
one, as would be the case if someone sends you an iMessage. Before
Yosemite, SMSs would only appear on your iPhone where you'd have to peck
out a reply, but now you can have them come into your Mac or other iOS
devices when they arrive so you can reply to them from there too.Your
iPhone needs to be running iOS 8.1, but once it is, and once you're
signed into your iMessage account that also has your phone number linked
to it both on your iPhone and on your Mac or other iOS devices, turn on
the Text Message Forwarding option under Settings > Messages on your
iPhone. Boom!
From there, enter a new DNS code – these are subject to change,
but Netflix Fixer posts regular updates about valid codes, as
does Droidkit. If these free ones fail to work, or you don't like the
sound of it, then try a paid-for service such as Unblock Us, which does
the same for $4.99 (£3.20) a month (there’s also a free trial). But
again, be aware you’re violating your service agreement.
Our upcoming MAKE Volume 30 includes some cool home automation projects,
from an alert system activated by motion to a thermostat that
interfaces with the internet. So, when my laptop decided to give up the
ghost last weekend, I wanted some home-integration ideas to use in
bringing it back to life. The case had been damaged after five years of
regular use, and a crack in the body kept the fan from spinning
correctly. Every once in a while, I’d have to remove the body plate
around the keyboard, lift out the fan, and tighten the center screw that
kept vibrating loose. But this time, I decided to try something
different than just a fix. Armed with new-found interest in home
automation, I set about cannibalizing it in hopes that a project might
pop out!
If you’re using a popular webmail service, such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail,
and you don’t or can’t make the switch to a more secure service, then
consider installing Mailvelope. Mailvelope is a browser extension for
Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox that brings OpenPGP encryption to your
webmail service. Similar extensions exist, such as SecureGmail, which
encrypts and decrypts emails you send through Gmail. Using this
extension means the unencrypted text should never reach Google servers.
Recipients will need to install the extension in order to decrypt and
read the encrypted email.
Tina November 29, 2009 at 1:08 pm Roger, yes you can! There are two
possible shortcuts. One is + . Some keyboards have a dedicated key for
the context menu. You should find it between the and key on the right
side of the . Enjoy! Reply
