This series of posts will walk you through the process of figuring out whether or not you can cancel your cable or satellite subscription.
As much as cable and satellite providers would like you to think they're the only ones with the good content, you do have other options.
These devices take content from the Internet to display on your TV.
We're not giving up the fight! These links take you to resources supporting the campaign to get Google to bring back Classic Maps.
While none of these alternative sites are perfect replacements for Classic Maps, they're what we've got for now. I haven't checked most of these out personally yet, but I'm linking to them anyway in case you find them helpful for your purposes.
Yeah, I hate 'em too... But if we're going to be stuck with them at least for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on some tutorial posts to try to make them a little less painful.Notice: Undefined variable: content in /home/customer/www/techforluddites.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/magazine-pro/functions.php on line 1822
Today’s T3 includes tips for finding apps on your Windows 10 PC, cleaning up your social media history, and stuffing stockings with little tech extras.
1. Quickly Find Windows 10 Apps
I can’t believe I’ve had Windows 10 for a year and a half and I *just learned this trick. I’m still on the pre-Anniversary Update version of the operating system on my main laptop, but this works on both versions. When you click the Start menu and click the All Apps button, you get a long list of all the apps on the computer in alphabetical order, which means lots of scrolling to get to the one you want to launch.
Unless…
Click on any letter heading to open a fly-out menu that lets you go directly to any letter group in the list.
Bonus Tip: Here are two other ways to find apps quickly (which I did already know):
- Click the Start menu and just start typing the name of the app, i.e. you don’t need to be in a search box. A list of results will come up including if the app exists on your computer.
- Click the search icon in your taskbar and click the Apps button. A subset of apps will appear (I’m not sure what the criteria is to be on this list). If the one you want is not on this list, you can type it into the text box at the bottom of the list.
2. Clean Up Your Old Facebook and Twitter Posts
If you’ve ever tried to delete or hide old social media posts, you’ve probably given up pretty quickly when you discovered how unwieldy the process is within the apps themselves. This Gizmodo article lists some tools that can make it much easier for Facebook and Twitter posts. Note that I haven’t tested any of these out myself, so have no comment on how good or bad they may be.
