I ran one Windows command and finally understood why my laptop dies so fast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If your laptop runs out of battery sooner than it used to, the battery icon doesn't tell you why. It reads 100% whether the battery still holds everything it was built to hold or barely hangs on. I already knew my laptop’s battery wasn't at its full abilities anymore. I just didn't know how much capacity it had lost until I ran this built-in Windows report. Plenty of apps can check battery health, but this one is already on your PC. It showed my battery now holds 64.4% of its original capacity.
Microsoft Defender has stronger protections you probably aren’t using (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Windows Security does more than scan for viruses, but surprisingly, some of its stronger protections aren't necessarily active on your PC by default. There's usually a reason, since a few of them can block your apps or even cause compatibility problems. I assumed the important ones were already taken care of because Windows Security constantly notifies me to take action. So I recently checked them all on my PC and noticed four were off by default, and one wasn't even listed. Memory Integrity, al
I used Android’s hidden app freezer for a week, and the battery difference surprised me (opens the original)

My Galaxy Tab A11 used to need charging twice a day, and I never questioned it. Overnight, and then once again during the day without fail.

So, I turned to Samsung’s own built-in option instead, one buried in Settings that I'd walked past for months without ever touching. And by the end of the week, that twice-a-day habit was m
Samsung's budget tablet runs the same software as flagships, but the hardware can't keep up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Samsung’s less expensive tablets can look a lot like the more expensive Galaxy tablets. They now run the same One UI interface and use similar Android apps. They also handle ordinary browsing, streaming, and occasional work without much fuss. The difference becomes easier to notice when the tablet has to work harder. I didn't think much about the limits of my Galaxy Tab A11 until my phone broke, and the tablet became my go-to device. The hardware hadn't changed, but I started asking much more of
Windows still has a filename quirk straight out of the DOS era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever renamed a file or folder and had it come out different from what you typed? Recently, while pasting a document title into a rename box, I hit Enter, and the period at the end just disappeared. There was no warning or error message; Windows just removed the character without explaining why. By creating an account, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
