You’re even able to swap in different emoji keys, so you have your personal favourite shortcuts on demand. My colleague’s recent review of the Logitech POP Keys got me thinking, why isn’t there an emoji key shortcut on every single laptop and keyboard?...

Actually, cafeterias all over the world have run tests like this one with a pretty good success rate. Why? Because humans aren’t rational calculating machines, and, as Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein argue in their book “Nudge,” our decisions are heavily based on a lot of things we don’t control, like our environment and built-in cognitive biases. If that’s true, though, and we can figure out that we’re acting irrationally, can we set up our own system of nudges to help us improve?...

Why Is 4K Not Selling as Much? Well, first of all, many displays that wear the 8.2 million pixels that 4K requires with pride are prohibitively expensive. To put the price into perspective, Samsung went through a painstaking effort to get a “cheap” 4K monitor out there, priced at $700. Sure, they’ll probably get cheaper, but why buy a $700 to $3000 4K monitor when you can buy a 1080p display for around $300 to $500?...

What Is Rooting? Rooting is nothing more than “unlocking” or “Jailbreaking” your Android device. By rooting, you have access to the root software allowing you to have access to every ounce of the software. You will also be able to grant apps root access. Applications made for rooted devices need this access to perform tasks or enabling features not intended for your device. Why Do People Root Their Phones? To answer this, let’s look at whether or not the reasons people rooted their phones transited to the modern era....

The default page for the Dolphin Browser includes a “speed dial” and “webzine.” A browser like Safari is built for browsing Google. That’s what it’s really good at. But we’re way past looking at the Internet just as a tool for gathering information. We spend our lives on a browser. Dolphin recognizes that. While the Speed Dial to the left of the default page includes favorite links, the most favorite of your favorites, it also includes a “Webzine....

A photo’s EXIF data can identify a great deal about it, including the date and time of capture and the device used to take the photo in the first place. Not everyone wants this kind of information stored in their pictures, but it isn’t easy to see how this can be changed. Here’s how you can do so in Windows. “Build” the EXIF Tool Begin by downloading EXIF Tool; it’s a piece of freeware that allows you to modify EXIF data via Command Prompt, though we’ll be using it differently....

Unboxing Other than the robot cleaner, accessories that are found in the box include two boundary strips, a remote control (two AAA batteries included), charging base, AC power adapter, cleaning tool, extra set of filters, four side brushes, five cable ties and a welcome guide. The accessories are pretty standard and are found in most robot cleaners, so there is no surprise here. One thing I like is the additional set of side brushes....

Thumbs.db generates a quick image based preview of files inside a folder when using the Icon or Thumbnail mode in Windows. By creating the preview before the folder is accessed saves time rendering a visual thumbnail....

If the website doesn’t open, there there’s high chance that the issue is your network. You’ll need to restart your router and check for loose wires to check whether the network is the issue. If the issue is still not resolved, contact your service provider....

Getting Started To get started, you need to open a new tab page and type “chrome:flags” in the omnibar. 1. Change Launcher Position Some users simply hate having their launcher on the bottom side of the screen. Ubuntu ships with its dock pinned to the left. Many Mac OS X users move their dock to the side to take better advantage of their high-resolution widescreen displays. Windows may be known for getting much of the world used to having a taskbar at the bottom, but it has long supported the ability to move it around to any of the four available sides....
