1. Using a Chrome Flag Google Docs doesn’t provide you with a way (yet) to enable dark mode. However, if you use Google Chrome to access Docs, there is a Chrome Flag that can trigger dark mode. Here’s how you can enable it: Open the Google Chrome web browser on your desktop. In the address bar, type chrome://flags and hit the Enter button on your keyboard. In the search bar, type “Force dark mode” and press Enter....
Translate Any Language in Google Sheets To use Google Translate, open Google sheets, and type the word you want to translate in any cell. For example, type the word “cat” in cell A1. Click on the cell, and type =googletranslate, and the option to select Google Translate will appear. Your second option is to enter the entire code yourself: =GOOGLETRANSLATE(“text”, “source language”, “target language”) Replace “text” with the text you want to translate....

City and Leeds fans have had to wait an extra couple of days for their return to domestic action following the World Cup. Tonight’s War of the Roses completes the matchday. City will be hopeful of returning to second place and making-up ground on Arsenal in first place, while Leeds will be keen to put on a show for the home crowd at Elland Road. Leeds are by no means clear of relegation trouble, sitting 15th in the table, albeit with two games in hand on some of the teams around them....

In what’s believed to be the first documented use of the feature, which has resulted in an actual rescue, the Alaska Department of Public Safety said State Troopers received the message at 2:00am and jumped into action. The alert came from the Apple Emergency Response Center (something we didn’t know existed until this moment), enabling search and rescue teams to zero in on the stranded fellow’s precise GPS co-ordinates. The snowmobiler was safe and unharmed....
Here’s everything you need to know. How Does G-Sync Work To understand G-Sync, we must first understand V-sync and its limitations. You’re probably familiar with a little something called V-sync. (We wrote a whole article about it.) What this does is limit the frame rate of a game to the refresh rate of your monitor. So if you have a 60hz, 75hz, or 120hz monitor, frame rates on a game will max out at those....
How Language Evolves First of all, it is important to note that language evolves organically with the passage of time. The word “selfie,” for example, did not exist for the thousands of years that English has been spoken. Of course there were not very many cases of people taking photos of themselves until quite recently in the scale of recorded history. Once this became a phenomenon, the word “selfie” came into existence as a shortcut used to describe the action in one fluid two-syllable expression....
In Day-To-Day Life, It Isn’t Much Better When you enter a store, there will be cameras pointed at you no matter where you go. That store has an interest to make sure that its merchandise is intact, and it ensures this by catching anyone who goes against this interest. Surveillance also appears inside of buses, at railway stops, and pretty much everywhere else you find yourself. Whoever has the power to watch you also has the power to incriminate you with or without just cause....
Ingress Protection ratings You can find more details on IP ratings here, but the table above (high-quality version here) is your key to figuring out what IPXX means when you see it listed in the device specs. There are two different types of IP ratings — solid/dust and liquid. The first number refers to the dust-protection level, and the second refers to the liquid-protection level. For example: IP6X = completely sealed against dust (6), not tested against water (X) IPX6 = not tested against dust (X), can be sprayed by a lot of water IP68 = completely sealed against dust (6), can be immersed in over one meter of water (8)...
Installation Getting Leafpad installed onto your Linux box is a pretty simple task, since it is available in the default repos of most distributions. Fedora users can find the application by searching within the “Software” application. If you are an Ubuntu user, you can find the application tucked away inside the Ubuntu Software Center. If you use another distribution, chances are getting your hands on Leafpad should still be a breeze....
Explanation: chattr is a command that allows a user to set certain attributes on a file residing on a Linux filesystem. A “+i” flag adds an immutable attribute to the file. When this is enabled, even a root user cannot change the file. Similarly, a “-i” flag subtracts the specific attribute from the file. If you have a folder of files that you want to lock up, you can also add the “+R” flag....
However, that isn’t a problem. Up until now, you most likely didn’t need any of those programs. All of those I just named are located in the Utilities folder, the folder that can be a bit of a mystery to all beginner Mac users and even some intermediate users. Today, we will demystify the Mac Utilities folder and give a basic synopsis of each application in the Utilities folder.....

Why Microsoft Is Adding a Linux Kernel Again, Linux isn’t totally new on Windows. For a while now Windows 10 had what’s called the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). WSL focused on allowing Windows to run Linux tools such as Bash. It didn’t allow people to actually boot up a full-blown Linux GUI such as KDE, but it did give Windows users a way to run Linux tools without the need of a virtual machine....
Finding Files or Folders If you need to find a group of files, a folder or an individual file, just ask Siri. Sure, you could do this with Spotlight, but doing it with your voice is so much cooler. Say “Hey Siri, find PowerPoint documents created last week” or “Siri, show me photos from January 2020.” Siri will double-check your command and then take you right to your result. Read Emails The days of reading your own email are over....
The power that these attacks wield gets people curious about the mechanisms behind them, which is why we’ve taken the time to explain how they work and even went as far as thoroughly demonstrating how enormous some of these attacks can get, to the point that one of them can even take out entire sectors of the Internet for millions of people. There is, however, a scant amount of public discussion about how the countermeasure (e....
