| Fix Windows Update & Make It Less Annoying Without Compromising Security Posted: 07 Oct 2014 11:00 AM PDT  Using Windows Update to deliver novel features could have been awesome, but then Microsoft got ahead of themselves. Again. In preparation for a rapid release cycle, Microsoft promised to deliver more than just security fixes with Windows Update. To reflect this change, they renamed the age old Patch Tuesday into Update Tuesday this past August. Unfortunately, the novel features included in the anticipated new kind of update were underwhelming. Worse, some updates caused havoc for a subset of users, forcing Microsoft to immediately pull them. It’s not the first time that Windows updates have caused trouble. In combination with its other...

| How To Make Windows 8 or 8.1 Look Like Windows 7 or XP Posted: 07 Oct 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Love the speed and security of Windows 8, but miss the transparent look of Windows 7? Or maybe the blues and greens of Windows XP? Here’s how to make Windows 8, or even 8.1, look like your favourite version of Windows from the past. 1. Get A Start Menu First things first: if you want an experience that’s anything like the Windows 7/XP you remember, you’re going to want a Start menu. Nothing makes your system feel less like a classic version of Windows than the modern (aka Metro) Start screen. I recommend Classic Shell which, as I’ve noted before, offers...

| Your USB Devices Aren’t Safe Anymore, Thanks To BadUSB Posted: 07 Oct 2014 08:30 AM PDT  If you bought a computer before 1997, you probably noticed that the back was a pock-marked mess of connectors and ports. And if you bought a new printer and scanner, odds were good it would only work with a certain type of port. And if the pins on the connector broke, your device was worthless. It was a nightmare. And then USB arrived. Universal Serial Bus (USB) was created by a consortium of seven major technology companies, all hoping to solve one important question; ‘How do I connect this device to my computer?’. Almost 20 years later, USB has reached... Read the full article: Your USB Devices Aren’t Safe Anymore, Thanks To BadUSB |
| 8 Daily Rituals You Can Create To Boost Your Geeky Productivity Posted: 07 Oct 2014 08:00 AM PDT  Habits are hard to hack. Daily rituals are way easier. You keep at something (good or bad) for several days in a row and it turns into a habit. You fall into the bad habits with ease. You have to go kicking and screaming into the good ones. What if you had a placebo-type mechanism to trick yourself into adopting good habits effortlessly? You do. We all do. It’s called a daily ritual. With a good habit, you have convince/coax/threaten yourself to take it on. But with a daily ritual you set an intention and “just do it”. Think of it...

| How To Best Use Your 15GB Of Free OneDrive Storage Posted: 07 Oct 2014 07:00 AM PDT  The cloud storage scene has exploded recently, with dozens of providers offering you free storage for your files in the cloud. Why pay for more space when we’ve shown you how to max out your free storage with these services? One contender, Microsoft OneDrive (which was recently re-branded from the old SkyDrive name) offered an attractive 7 GB to all users, much more than the popular Dropbox‘s 2 GB. Recently, Microsoft sweetened the deal and increased OneDrive’s minimum space to a whopping 15 GB for all users. That’s a lot of space! If you’re wondering what to do with all of...

| How To Make Windows Fonts Look Like Mac Fonts Posted: 07 Oct 2014 05:00 AM PDT  Windows has never been the prettiest operating system. Up until recently, eye candy has mainly been the forte of Mac and certain distributions of Linux. While Modern UI (formerly known as Metro) has tried to play catch up, Windows still lacks in one important area: fonts. As of now, Windows uses DirectWrite technology – which is based on their ClearType technology – to render fonts but many consider it inferior to the FreeType-based font rendering system used in Mac, Linux, and Android. Sure, there are some who prefer the Windows aesthetic, but they are the exception and their numbers are... Read the full article: How To Make Windows Fonts Look Like Mac Fonts |
