I’ve a related tip. I wish it was a built-in option but you can do this: 1) disable push notifications for work email. 2) Setup an email rule that pings you with a SMS only if an incoming email has the Urgent/Important flag on it (Or maybe from your boss for example). That way you only get interrupted for a priority…

A lot of times you can get it to behave by opening the “Network” Namespace (left navigation pane of File Explorer) and then clicking the tooltip at the top that asks if you want to enable network discovery. That in turn will give a question asking if you want to enable discovery on public networks (bad idea) or to…

I guess if you wanted to get “booted” out of your PC entirely at 8pm, you could set a scheduled task that logs off (shutdown /L) at that time. Although when that occurs any open app will prompt if you want to save any unsaved work and you get the chance to “cancel” the logoff.

MS doesn’t offer Defender/Security Essentials for 7 anymore do they?

I’m not a video hater, but dumping a transcript into the article would be helpful for when I can’t watch the video.

Windows 8 and newer, hold Shift while you click the “Restart” option on the power menu. Keep holding the shift key until the startup options appear.

This is like one of the best (and increasingly rare and true proper) lifehacks I’ve seen on this site.

I used it for a long time before paying last year to get the extra functions. It’s the best podcast client I’ve used in years. I’ve tried Google Podcasts, Spotify’s lame implementation, but this one is by far my favorite. Especially the way it has the custom filter “folders” and the strong integration into Google…

I wish they would play nice with Chromecast or other streaming devices.

I didn't know they had any plans that include Netflix. They throw apple music into my plan but I use Spotify family so it's useless to me

Doesn’t Google have some kind of tool for predicting a flu outbreak? maybe just watch that until it looks like it’s coming to your area.

I like 1903 (using it on 5 machines but not the one I want it on at work yet, where our outdated trend micro antiviris conflicts), but fortunately you don’t need to install 1903 (which means 2019, March) to install the August security roll-up. The August security update is available for every version: 1903, 1809, 1803…

I absolutely suck at simple math. I’m a data analyst but useless without software or at least a calculator.

You might you might also mention the resources available at ready.gov

It’s funny, a decade ago working in concerts and other venues, we paid big money to get video countdowns just like these.

I just treat calls like email: if you aren’t in my address book already, you go directly to my spam folder (or voicemail). Prove yourself and give me a reason to add you to my contacts list and you’ll always get through.

Today I uninstalled a “store app” from my Windows 10 device, a very large one: Halo 5 Forge (over 30 GB). Although clicking uninstall immediately removed the entry from my installed apps list inside Settings and the related start menu entry, the drive space never cleared up. I waited an hour. Then I restarted. Then…

I just cannot even imagine paying $300 for that Google home max speaker. I must just be too poor for such things.

Neat!  Does Google do the same?

How painful are the rough edges that Google mentioned in their know issues list (like crazy sluggishness or extra battery drain)?
