Recorder (now called Windows Sound Recorder in Windows 11 OS) is a great
option. This freeware lets you capture sound on your computer within 3
simple steps, and it’s regarded as one of the easiest solutions for
recording yourself singing, talking, taking voice messages, etc. </p>
<p>If you are working in OneNote and need to capture audio, you can directly <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569483&url=https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/record-audio-or-video-notes-b90fa4a2-253b-47ec-99bd-c9b368268465&xcust=2-1-2138817-1-0-0&sref=https://www.pcworld.com/article/2138817/how-to-record-computer-audio-in-6-free-ways.html?utm_date=20231129133427&utm_campaign=PCWorldPowerTips&utm_content=TitleHowtoRecordComputerAudioin6FreeWays&utm_term=Editorial-PCWorldPowerTips&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Adestra&huid=9eb94676-1b8a-405f-a099-1e7d542229d9" rel="sponsored">record computer audio via OneNote</a> to save time.</p>

<h2 id="toc-4">Method 3. How to flexibly record on Windows 7 and earlier </h2>

<p>Another way to record your favorite songs and music from a computer
is to use the Stereo Mix, which is a special computer audio recorder
provided by your sound drivers. If your sound driver contains this tool,
you are able to use it to capture all sound coming from your computer,
including the system sound, microphone audio, game audio, and more.</p>
<p>To capture sound on a Windows PC using Stereo Mix, you need to know
some basic settings in the Windows system first, which will take about
20 to 30 minutes.</p>
<p>Here is the tutorial for capturing audio on a Windows computer:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1.</strong> Open the Control panel, then click Hardware and Sound > Sound.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2.</strong> Next, in the window that appears, choose the Recording tab, where you can find the Stereo mix button.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3. </strong>Then, right-click Stereo Mix and choose Enable. Click OK to apply the changes.</p>
<div><figure><img alt="EaseUS Stereo Mix" class="moz-reader-block-img" height="457" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/stereo-mix.png" width="411" /></figure><p>EaseUS</p></div>
<h2 id="toc-5">Method 4. How to record audio on computer for free via Audacity</h2>
<ul><li><strong>Compatibility:</strong> Windows & Mac & Linux</li><li><strong>Operation difficulty:</strong> âââ</li><li><strong>Best for: </strong>Users who want to record and edit audio professionally for producing songs, podcasts, and more for free.</li></ul>
<p>If you prefer a free and professional tool to record computer audio, take a look at Audacity. As one of the most popular <a href="https://www.pcworld.com/article/2059023/turn-your-computer-into-a-voice-recorder-with-simple-free-software.html" rel="sponsored">audio capture software</a>,
it is widely used for any purpose of sound recording, including
recording vocals, creating songs, capturing voice calls, and others. </p>
<p>This freeware functions in capturing system audio, recording multiple
tracks at once, applying filters to recordings, and more. That means
you are able to record and edit your audio files at once and then export
them to MP3 or other formats. If you just use this freeware for basic
audio or vocal recording, you can start the task once you open it.
However, to create high-quality music files, you need to take time to
learn the advanced settings and install the necessary plugins.</p>
<p>Here is how to record internal and external sound from a computer using Audacity:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1.</strong> Download and install Audacity on your computer, then open it.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2. </strong>Click the Audio Setup option in the top toolbar and click Host > Windows WASAPI.</p>
<div><figure><img alt="EaseUS Audacity 1" class="moz-reader-block-img" height="287" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/audacity-1.png" width="700" /></figure><p>EaseUS</p></div>
<p><strong>Step 3.</strong> Next, choose the Audio Setup button again to select the recording device.</p>
<div><figure><img alt="EaseUS Audacity 2" class="moz-reader-block-img" height="327" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/audacity-2.png" width="700" /></figure><p>EaseUS</p></div>
<p><strong>Step 4.</strong> Then, click the red circle button to begin your recording. </p>
<div><figure><img alt="EaseUS Audacity 3" class="moz-reader-block-img" height="274" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/aduacity-3.png" width="700" /></figure><p>EaseUS</p></div>
<p><strong>Step 5.</strong> Once your audio recording is done, click
File > Export to save your audio recordings to MP3, WAV, or OGG
format. (By default, your audio recordings will be saved in MP3 format.)</p>
<div><figure><img alt="EaseUS Audacity 4" class="moz-reader-block-img" height="283" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/aduacity-4.png" width="517" /></figure><p>EaseUS</p></div>
<h2 id="toc-6">Method 5. How to record computer audio on Mac free with OBS</h2>
<ul><li><strong>Compatibility:</strong> Windows & macOS & Linux</li><li><strong>Operation difficulty:</strong> ââââ</li><li><strong>Best for: </strong>Advanced users who want to do audio recording and streaming on various platforms</li></ul>
<p>OBS Studio is another completely free tool that can help you capture
sound coming from your PC, Mac, or Linux. This software enables you to
flexibly choose your target audio sources, like the system sound,
capture card sound, microphone sound, and more. Besides, it provides
options for adjusting audio bitrate, sample rate, and channels for those
professional music creators who want to create fantastic songs here.
Similar to Audacity, this freeware also allows you to install plugins if
needed.</p>
<p>However, it is a little difficult to use this free audio recorder
because of its complicated UI. According to our teams’ testing
statistics, a beginner needs a long learning curve (3 – 4 hours for
basic settings and functions) to handle this tool. </p>
<p>Now, let’s see how it works for recording computer audio on Mac and Windows:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1. </strong>Install and launch OBS Studio on your PC or Mac.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2. </strong>Next, in the window’s upper-left, click File
> Settings > Audio to set your audio device input. Besides, click
Output to select the audio format for your recordings.</p>
<div><figure><img alt="EaseUS Obs 1" class="moz-reader-block-img" height="355" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/obs-1.png" width="700" /></figure><p>EaseUS</p></div>
<p><strong>Step 3. </strong>This freeware simultaneously records the
visible screen and audio by default. To record computer audio only, you
need to check the eye symbol to disable the visual capture.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4. </strong>When everything is ready, click Start Recording to begin capturing PC audio now.</p>
<div><figure><img alt="EaseUS Obs 2" class="moz-reader-block-img" height="429" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/obs-2.png" width="700" /></figure><p>EaseUS</p></div>
<h2 id="toc-7">Method 6. How to directly start recording computer audio online</h2>
<ul><li><strong>Compatibility:</strong> web-based (Windows & macOS & Linux)</li><li><strong>Operation difficulty:</strong> âââ</li><li><strong>Best for: </strong>Windows and Mac users who want to record songs and voice on computer audio directly without any app.</li></ul>
<p>For those who want to record computer audio on a PC or Mac without any app, Chrome Audio Capture should be the first choice.</p>
<p>It is regarded as one of the easiest ways to record audio from a PC
or laptop. Whether you are going to capture audio from your speakers,
the internal audio coming from your computer, or others, you can get the
task done with this extension effortlessly.</p>
<p>Here is how to record computer audio online:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1. </strong>Add the Chrome Audio Capture extension.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2. </strong>Choose the audio input that you want to
capture and click Start Capture. To end the recording, you can hit Ctrl +
Shift + X hotkeys on your keyboard.</p>
<div><figure><img alt="EaseUS Chrome Audio Capture" class="moz-reader-block-img" height="368" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/chrome-audio-capture.png" width="700" /></figure><p>EaseUS</p></div>
<h2 id="toc-8">Bonus: How to record sound from a computer in high quality</h2>
<p>To help you create a high-quality audio recording on your PC or Mac, you can take a glance at the useful tips below:</p>
<h3><strong>#1. Choose an excellent computer audio recorder</strong></h3>
<p>First of all, a professional computer audio recorder is a must. While
selecting the tool, you need to focus on its recording options, like
microphone sound, computer internal audio, sound card, etc. </p>
<h3><strong>#2. Use A good microphone</strong></h3>
<p>Most users prefer to use the built-in microphone on laptops for
recording computer audio, as it is convenient. However, the quality
cannot be guaranteed because of the distance. So, you’d better find and
use a professional external microphone for recording.</p>
<h3><strong>#3. Create a quiet environment</strong></h3>
<p>Any background noise (like talking, typing, coughing, etc.) will
affect the quality of your audio recordings. Thus, you also need to
choose and create a relatively quiet environment for recording sound
from a computer with a microphone.</p>
<h3><strong>1. How do I record audio from my computer browser?</strong></h3>
<p>To record audio from your computer browser quickly, you can choose to
use some online computer audio recorder extensions, like Chrome Audio
Capture, Notta, and more. All you need to do is to install this tool and
choose the audio source that you want to capture. That’s it!</p>
<h3><strong>2. Can I record streaming audio on my computer?</strong></h3>
<p>Sure! You can record streaming audio on your computer as long as you
have the right streaming audio recorder. For example, the EaseUS
RecExperts will help you capture streaming audio on your Windows or Mac
computer. Besides, it can export the recordings in up to 10 different
formats for later sharing.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Does Windows 10 have an audio recorder?</strong></h3>
<p>Of course, yes! There is a built-in audio recorder on your Windows 10
system, and it’s called Voice Recorder. This freeware will help you
capture microphone sound from your PC. Keep in mind that it is not
capable of recording the internal sound on your computer.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Can QuickTime record computer audio?</strong></h3>
<p>Yes. QuickTime can record computer audio on a Mac device. </p>
<p>For recording external sound from a microphone on a computer, you just need to follow the on-screen instructions to make it.</p>
<p>But, to record the computer’s system audio, you need to install the
extra plugin called Soundflower, and then you can begin your recording.<br /><br />Source: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2138817/how-to-record-computer-audio-in-6-free-ways.html?utm_date=20231129133427&utm_campaign=PCWorld%20Power%20Tips&utm_content=Title%3A%20How%20to%20Record%20Computer%20Audio%20in%206%20Free%20Ways&utm_term=Editorial%20-%20PCWorld%20Power%20Tips&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Adestra&huid=9eb94676-1b8a-405f-a099-1e7d542229d9<br /><br /><br /></p>

If you’re just getting used to one of these machines, you’ll know taking a screenshot is slightly different than on Windows and Macs. Luckily, it’s easy to do.<br /><br /><b>Screenshots via keyboard shortcuts<br /></b><br />To take a screenshot of part of your Chromebook screen using your keyboard, press Ctrl + Shift + Show Windows. (This button looks like a rectangle with two lines next to it.) If your Chromebook’s keyboard doesn’t have a Show Windows button, or if you’re using an external keyboard, press Ctrl + Shift + F5.<br /><br />To capture your whole screen, press Ctrl + Show Windows to screen capture everything visible on your Chromebook screen.<br /><br />Some Chromebooks even have a dedicated screenshot key. If yours does, it looks like a rectangle with a circle in it, resembling a camera.<div><br /><b>Screen Capture tool in Quick Settings</b><br /><br />Another option is to use the built-in Screen Capture tool in the Quick Settings. To use it, open Quick Settings by clicking on the time, then click on Screen Capture.<br /><br />From here, a toolbar will open up, which gives you the option to capture the entire screen, a selection of the screen, or a single window. You can also screen-record your Chromebook by clicking on the video icon.<br />Where to find your Chromebook screenshots<br /><br />Once you take a screenshot or screen recording, it’s automatically available in your device’s Clipboard. The Clipboard will store the last five captures you saved to it.<br /><br />To see where the rest of your captures are, open the Files app. For screenshots, open the Images folder, and for screen recordings, open the Videos folder.<br /><br />Source: https://lifehacker.com/how-to-take-a-screenshot-on-a-chromebook-1850990003<br /></div>PC, Music, & Movie Geekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14180974050375752815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31901250.post-44959919908872664462023-10-09T07:59:00.003-04:002023-10-09T07:59:32.996-04:00The 7 Best Distraction-Free Note-Taking Apps for Windows<p>Tired of note-taking apps cluttered with distracting features?

Simplenote offers all the essential writing tools without any
distracting features. Its minimal interface is complemented by a
dedicated Focus Mode, ensuring you can focus on your writing without any
external distractions.<br /><br />Simplenote's sidebar keeps your notes neatly organized in a list
view. You can sort your notes alphabetically or by the date they were
modified. There's also a pinning feature to pin important notes to the
top of your workspace.<br /><br />You can search for note titles or tags using the simple search tool.
If you want to restore a previous version of a page, Simplenote's
history tool makes this no issue: Drag the button across the timeline to
preview different versions of your page across time.<br /><strong><br />Download</strong>: <a href="https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/simplenote/9NXQQ40LDW3X" target="_blank">Simplenote</a> (Free)<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">2.

hassle-free. It offers the simplicity of Windows Notepad while giving
you a little more customization of how you want your notes to appear.
This plain text editor is an excellent option if you don't prioritize
formatting notes in fine detail.<br /><br />The layout is easily adjustable, so you can change how your workspace
appears. You can drag the sidebar, notes list, and editing window to a
preferable size, and you can toggle Focus Mode to bring your writing
into focus.<br /><br />You don't need to organize your notes straight away in Standard
Notes—you can easily view all notes from the Untagged window. If
security is a priority, Standard Notes offers encryption to keep your
notes safe.<br /><strong><br /><br />Download</strong>: <a href="https://standardnotes.com/download/windows" target="_blank">Standard Notes</a> (Free, subscription available)<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />4.

However, paying less, or nothing, doesn't necessarily mean that the software is of lower quality, as the open source community can testify.</p><p>Yet there can be issues with sharing documents between different office suite platforms, which can be a real concern. This is why when choosing an alternative to Microsoft Office, you need to be certain of any shortfalls that might limit your use of the software, especially if you need to share or collaborative on documents with other users who have one or more different office suites.</p><p>If you're using the office alternative as a standalone piece of software there shouldn't be any such issues, but it is something to be mindful about if you end up changing to a different software suite.</p><p>That said, the best in the Microsoft Office alternatives are generally strong programs with full functionality, and little problem sharing files with other platforms, though few come close to the full functionality of Microsoft 365 with its cloud service bundle that includes OneDrive and Microsoft Teams. </p><p>We compared the Microsoft office alternatives across various aspects, like the pricing models, the platforms they supported, the interface and performance, and the number of tools they came with. We also assessed their collaboration capabilities and the file formats they could run, among other aspects.</p><p>Here we'll show the best of them, along with their strengths and weaknesses.</p><p><br /></p><p>We've also featured the best free office software.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best Microsoft Office alternatives of 2022 in full</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8QibC1P1bS_8qRiyPgbTpcNatzHFYZTDFEyppuQy9BpKhPq58byGzMmj_TtVxubtPrcbe3IsxRfIrD4SHVaMH31ITkc4sBwcsFcwI8x0xrWfMM5JhyMvtaByFCO3dKXM-1zy6rLxseWWcW8OTJU__5CatiN4WHMY57GWRQWiRlnMG-2YUg/s970/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="545" data-original-width="970" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8QibC1P1bS_8qRiyPgbTpcNatzHFYZTDFEyppuQy9BpKhPq58byGzMmj_TtVxubtPrcbe3IsxRfIrD4SHVaMH31ITkc4sBwcsFcwI8x0xrWfMM5JhyMvtaByFCO3dKXM-1zy6rLxseWWcW8OTJU__5CatiN4WHMY57GWRQWiRlnMG-2YUg/w640-h360/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: large;">1.

The suite is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Russian.</p><p>It offers a free and a premium tier. The free tier allows you to use Writer, Presentation and Spreadsheets, which are alternatives to the Microsoft Office suite which it also resembles closely. WPS offers a PDF to Word converter which is fast and easy to use. It supports bulk exportation and can also split-merge PDF files if needed.</p><p>The suite offers 1GB of free cloud storage for iOS and PC users, but this service is not yet available for Android.</p><p>The 'Premium' tier allows the user to connect up 9 devices at once. It also gets rids of all those annoying adverts that are commonplace on the free tier.</p><p>WPS has been criticized for not allowing collaboration beyond those that track changes and allow users to insert comments. Users have also said that the interface can be quite slow at times when it comes to loading documents. Linux users have mentioned that not all fonts are automatically included and that they have to be installed separately.</p><p>For Android users installation is quite large and criticism has been levelled imploring the developer to make it more lightweight.</p><p>Read our full WPS Office review.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT0J3IY6EstnYQLaaNEPAiR1sQavOf1PAKa5KJAxCEV5PvwH7wIhoFAbDX00iRdujiWYjq19OjnpwMXbN04Z2emGTyZa4K0hU-TDwzfaVqy-O0c7emFWVWdxjdPhwA6AXwEAqdiHj8tYeilHhYd5dRnfd_7WHPfd3OHcPlGOudCcG6a4UjvQ/s970/4-calligra.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="545" data-original-width="970" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT0J3IY6EstnYQLaaNEPAiR1sQavOf1PAKa5KJAxCEV5PvwH7wIhoFAbDX00iRdujiWYjq19OjnpwMXbN04Z2emGTyZa4K0hU-TDwzfaVqy-O0c7emFWVWdxjdPhwA6AXwEAqdiHj8tYeilHhYd5dRnfd_7WHPfd3OHcPlGOudCcG6a4UjvQ/w640-h360/4-calligra.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: large;">4.

performance. Yes, ‘mostly’ snappy. Over time, we observed that Chrome
gets sluggish. If <a href="https://www.guidingtech.com/what-happens-when-you-clear-browsing-data-in-chrome/">clearing browser data</a>
and resetting Chrome does not cut it – you probably need to check out
the experimental features called flags. In this article, we’ll show you
nine such flags to make Google Chrome faster.</p>

<h2 id="h-what-are-flags-in-chrome">What Are Flags in Chrome</h2>
<p>Flags are a set of experimental features and configurations on Google
Chrome. These are not intended for regular users but for developers.</p>
<p>If you are developing a web application, you obviously must ensure
that it runs well on Google Chrome. This of course will need you to test
the behavior of the application under each configuration of Google
Chrome. And the flags menu on Chrome lets you do all of these tests and
experiments, by enabling and disabling many micro-level features on
Google Chrome.</p>
<p>However, a few flags are safe to use and enhance the web browsing
experience. We looked into such flags and have explained in detail how
they will help you. But before we get there, let’s understand how to
open the flags menu on Google Chrome.</p>
<h2>How to Open Chrome Flags Menu</h2>
<p>In the address bar of Google Chrome, type in ‘chrome://flags’. This
is all you need to do to enter the flags page. It might seem
overwhelmingly technical at first but fret not as we have an
easy-to-follow procedure to enable useful flags.</p>

<p>But how do we find useful flags and enable and disable them in the long list of flags? Read our next section to find out more.</p>
<h2>How to Enable Google Chrome Flags</h2>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Go to chrome://flags.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Enter the name of the flag to find it. We have recommended the best ones in the next section.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Search Bar on Flags" class="wp-image-202223 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Search-Bar-on-Flags.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Search-Bar-on-Flags.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Search-Bar-on-Flags-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Search-Bar-on-Flags-768x452.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Search-Bar-on-Flags-1536x905.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="2237371675" height="377" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Search-Bar-on-Flags.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<p><strong>Step 3: </strong>Once you find the flag, click on the drop-down menu next to it.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Click on Drop Down Menu After Search" class="wp-image-202214 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Drop-Down-Menu-After-Search.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Drop-Down-Menu-After-Search.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Drop-Down-Menu-After-Search-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Drop-Down-Menu-After-Search-768x452.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Drop-Down-Menu-After-Search-1536x905.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="2237371675" height="377" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Drop-Down-Menu-After-Search.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<p><strong>Step 4: </strong>Now, click on Enabled to enable the flag.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Click on Enabled" class="wp-image-202215 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Enabled.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Enabled.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Enabled-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Enabled-768x452.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Enabled-1536x905.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="2237371675" height="377" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Click-on-Enabled.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<p><strong>Step 5: </strong>Now, you will be asked to restart Chrome to get the settings into effect. Simply click on Relaunch.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Relaunch Chrome" class="wp-image-202221 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Relaunch-Chrome.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Relaunch-Chrome.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Relaunch-Chrome-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Relaunch-Chrome-768x452.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Relaunch-Chrome-1536x905.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="2237371675" height="377" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Relaunch-Chrome.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<p>Now that we have learned how to enable flags, it’s time we start
searching, and configuring some of the useful flags that’ll help make
Chrome faster.</p>
<h2>9 Best Flags to Speed Up Google Chrome</h2>
<p>Here’s a list of nine flags to improve your web browsing experience
on Google Chrome. Read the description to understand what each flag
does, and how it can affect Chrome. Once you understand and feel the
necessity for it, you can go ahead and enable the same. For convenience,
we have added a quick link to open up these flags on Chrome. </p>
<h3>1. Experimental QUIC Protocol</h3>
<p>Online protocols are how two applications can exchange information
over the internet. QUIC is an experimental protocol developed by Google.
The objective of this protocol is to reduce latency, and congestion in
comparison to TCP – which is the protocol that is used online. Thus,
enabling QUIC can help improve your web browsing speeds.</p>
<p><code>chrome://flags/#enable-quic</code></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="QUIC Protocol" class="wp-image-202220 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/QUIC-Protocol.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/QUIC-Protocol.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/QUIC-Protocol-1024x403.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/QUIC-Protocol-768x302.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/QUIC-Protocol-1536x605.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="4247182985" height="252" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/QUIC-Protocol.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<h3>2. Parallel Downloading</h3>
<p>Consider a situation where you are downloading a large file on Google
Chrome, and it is taking up a lot of time. When you enable Parallel
Downloading, the large file is split into different parts. The
downloader will establish multiple connections to different servers and
download the parts. This can potentially increase the download speeds on
Chrome.</p>
<p><code>chrome://flags/#enable-parallel-downloading</code></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Parallel Downloading" class="wp-image-202219 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Parallel-Downloading.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Parallel-Downloading.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Parallel-Downloading-1024x401.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Parallel-Downloading-768x300.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Parallel-Downloading-1536x601.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="1601068076" height="250" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Parallel-Downloading.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<h3>3. GPU Rasterization</h3>
<p>By default, Chrome will not use the GPU to process and render media.
If your PC has a powerful GPU – you can enable the GPU rasterization
flag. This will ensure your GPU also performs a few tasks and thus,
improve some efficiency in the performance.</p>
<p><code>chrome://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization</code></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="GPU Rasterization" class="wp-image-202217 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/GPU-Rasterization.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/GPU-Rasterization.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/GPU-Rasterization-1024x387.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/GPU-Rasterization-768x290.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/GPU-Rasterization-1536x580.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="2750751823" height="242" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/GPU-Rasterization.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<h3>4. Override Software Rendering List</h3>
<p>You might have a powerful GPU on your system, but at times Chrome
will not be able to use GPU acceleration due to various reasons. This is
usually caused by Chrome failing to recognize and enable GPU drivers. </p>
<p>When you enable ‘Override software rendering’, it will force Chrome
to use GPU rendering over the default rendering mechanism. Thus, this
GPU acceleration can enable a better web browsing performance.</p>
<p><code>chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist</code></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Override Software Rendering List" class="wp-image-202218 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Override-Software-Rendering-List.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Override-Software-Rendering-List.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Override-Software-Rendering-List-1024x450.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Override-Software-Rendering-List-768x337.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Override-Software-Rendering-List-1536x674.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="1908526708" height="281" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Override-Software-Rendering-List.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<h3>5. Fuzzy Search for Tab Search</h3>
<p>All of us have experienced situations where we have hundreds of tabs
open on Google Chrome, and we are unable to find that one particular
tab. And to solve this problem, there is a tab search option on the <a href="https://www.guidingtech.com/restore-the-missing-google-chrome-toolbar/">Google Chrome toolbar</a>, the bottom-facing arrow next to the minimize icon.</p>
<p>To make the search results even faster, you can enable the ‘Fuzzy
search for Tab Search’ flag. It allows you to search for terms similar
to your intended search query and not the exact one. For example, if you
are searching a Google Calendar tab, you can type in ‘GC’ and it will
return the search result that includes the Google Calendar tab.</p>
<p><code>chrome://flags/#tab-search-fuzzy-search</code></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Enable Tab Search" class="wp-image-202216 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Enable-Tab-Search.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Enable-Tab-Search.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Enable-Tab-Search-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Enable-Tab-Search-768x307.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Enable-Tab-Search-1536x614.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="4196375910" height="256" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Enable-Tab-Search.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<h3>6. Back Forward Cache</h3>
<p>The back and forward button on the toolbar of Google Chrome is the
fastest way to navigate between websites you just visited. If you have
been a fan of this feature and use it all the time, you will appreciate
this flag. </p>
<p>Enabling the ‘Back-forward cache’ flag will cache your recently
visited websites. This will ensure you can instantly access the last
site you visited on the same tab, or go forward a website.</p>
<p><code>chrome://flags/#back-forward-cache</code></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Back Forward Cache" class="wp-image-202213 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Back-Forward-Cache.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Back-Forward-Cache.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Back-Forward-Cache-1024x379.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Back-Forward-Cache-768x284.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Back-Forward-Cache-1536x569.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="25126016" height="237" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Back-Forward-Cache.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<h3>7. Zero-Copy Rasterizer</h3>
<p>A GPU has a temporary memory unit called the VRAM. This exclusively
works with the GPU. In some cases, especially if you are using an older
version of RAM, your VRAM will be significantly faster. This will also
help if your <a href="https://www.guidingtech.com/57854/save-ram-manage-multiple-tabs-chrome/">RAM is quite low in size</a>.</p>
<p>If you enable the ‘Zero-copy rasterizer’ flag, Chrome will use the
VRAM for tasks and increase the speed of your web browsing experience.</p>
<p></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Zero Copy Rasterizer" class="wp-image-202212 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Zero-Copy-Rasterizer.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Zero-Copy-Rasterizer.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Zero-Copy-Rasterizer-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Zero-Copy-Rasterizer-768x327.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Zero-Copy-Rasterizer-1536x654.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="151459600" height="273" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Zero-Copy-Rasterizer.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<h3>8. Smooth Scrolling</h3>
<p>Ever noticed sluggish scrolling on content-heavy webpages? We’re sure
you have. We have too, even on PCs with good internals. Thankfully,
there is a fix for this issue within flags.</p>
<p>If you enable the Smooth Scrolling flag, you can experience a much
smoother and faster scrolling experience. As you enable the flag, it
adds a few lines of code in the back end of the website (CSS, React,
etc.), that can improve your navigation experience through an animation
effect.</p>
<p><code>chrome://flags/#enable-zero-copy</code></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Smooth Scrolling" class="wp-image-202210 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Smooth-Scrolling.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Smooth-Scrolling.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Smooth-Scrolling-1024x384.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Smooth-Scrolling-768x288.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Smooth-Scrolling-1536x576.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="104636914" height="240" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Smooth-Scrolling.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<h3>9. Show Autofill Predictions</h3>
<p>All of us visit websites that require us to fill in personal details
for shipping, registration, etc. One way to speed up this process is to
enable the ‘Show Autofill predictions’ flag. When you enable this flag,
you get predictions to fill unnamed fields with your existing autofill
information saved on Chrome.</p>
<p><code>chrome://flags/#show-autofill-type-predictions</code></p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Show Autofill Predictions" class="wp-image-202209 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Show-Autofill-Predictions.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Show-Autofill-Predictions.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Show-Autofill-Predictions-1024x387.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Show-Autofill-Predictions-768x290.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Show-Autofill-Predictions-1536x581.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="4138968264" height="242" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Show-Autofill-Predictions.jpg" width="640" /></figure>
<p>These are some of the flags to make Google Chrome faster. However, if
you have accidentally enabled a flag or want to opt out of flags
entirely for whatever reason, here’s how to do it.</p>
<h2>How to Reset Chrome Flag Settings</h2>
<p>While you can individually disable flags, it is quite a hassle to search or even remember what you enabled in the first place.</p>
<p>You can quickly disable all flags at once using the ‘Reset all’ button provided on the main page of the flags.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img alt="Reset All" class="wp-image-202222 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" data-lazy-src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Reset-All.jpg" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Reset-All.jpg 1920w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Reset-All-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Reset-All-768x452.jpg 768w, https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Reset-All-1536x905.jpg 1536w" data-ll-status="loaded" data-pagespeed-url-hash="2237371675" height="377" src="https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Reset-All.jpg" width="640" /></figure>

<p>Your PDF file’s table contents should now be visible in Google Sheets, and you can subsequently work on this data as required.</p>
<p>When using this method, there are a few important points to note though:</p>
<ul><li aria-level="1">If the data in a PDF file is stored as plaintext
rather than in the form of a table with rows and columns, this method
might not work.</li><li aria-level="1">When you paste data from a PDF into Google Sheets, you might end up bringing in hidden table cells or characters as well.</li></ul>
<p>If the data is in plain text, then you might need to first convert the data into CSV format.</p>
<h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Converting_PDF_to_CSV_and_Then_Opening_with_Google_Sheets"></span>Converting PDF to CSV and Then Opening with Google Sheets<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3>
<p>This might be a little bit of a long process and might require a little more effort on your part.</p>
<p>Here are the steps that you need to follow in case you come across such a PDF file:</p>
<h4>Use Google Drive to upload the File:</h4>
<ol><li aria-level="1">Go to your Google Drive</li><li aria-level="1">Navigate to <i>New-</i>><i>File Upload</i></li><li aria-level="1">You should now see a <i>File Upload </i>dialog box from where you can select the folder you want to fetch your PDF file from.</li><li aria-level="1">Double click the name of your PDF file.</li><li aria-level="1">Your file should start uploading and you can see this from a box at the bottom right corner of your browser window.</li><li aria-level="1">Once the file is done uploading, the box will say ‘<i>1 upload complete</i>’.</li><li aria-level="1">Click on the name of your PDF file.</li><li aria-level="1">The file will open in a popup in the same browser tab.</li></ol>
<h4>Use Google Sheets to Save the File as a Plaintext File (.txt)</h4>
<ol><li aria-level="1">Click on <i>Open With</i>, followed by <i>Google Docs</i>.</li><li aria-level="1">This will open the PDF in Google Docs.</li><li aria-level="1">If you see the contents of the tables in the form of
plaintext, then you will need to convert the contents into a
comma-separated format. Notice that the contents of each cell are
separated by a space. We need to take advantage of this and convert all
space characters to commas.<img alt="Tab separated data from PDF" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59909 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 536px) 100vw, 536px" data-lazy-src="https://productivityspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Tab-separated-data-from-PDF.png" data-lazy-srcset="https://productivityspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Tab-separated-data-from-PDF.png 536w, https://productivityspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Tab-separated-data-from-PDF-300x199.png 300w" data-ll-status="loaded" height="356" src="https://productivityspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Tab-separated-data-from-PDF.png" width="536" /></li><li aria-level="1">Press CTRL+H to open the <i>Find and Replace</i> Dialog box.</li><li aria-level="1">In the input box next to <i>Find</i>, type a space character (simply by pressing the space bar on the keyboard).</li><li aria-level="1">In the input box next to <i>Replace </i>with, type a comma character ‘,’.<img alt="Replace space with comma" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59913 entered lazyloaded" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px" data-lazy-src="https://productivityspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Replace-space-with-comma.png" data-lazy-srcset="https://productivityspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Replace-space-with-comma.png 449w, https://productivityspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Replace-space-with-comma-300x193.png 300w" data-ll-status="loaded" height="289" src="https://productivityspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Replace-space-with-comma.png" width="449" /></li><li aria-level="1">Press the <i>Replace all </i>button.

<p>You will notice every value that you separated with commas now
occupies individual cells in Google Sheets. You can now work on the
contents of the file and process the data as you need to.</p>
<p><b>Note</b>: You might need to do a little more work to
clean up the data by removing extra blank cells, removing hidden or
illegible characters, formatting date values, etc.</p>

<p>Even though Google Sheets does not provide an easy way to convert PDF
files to a format that Google Sheets understands, there are a number of
applications and online tools available to get this done quickly and
easily.</p>
<p>In this section, we will discuss some of these tools.</p>
<h4>Using Google Workspace Marketplace (PDF Tables Extractor) to Convert PDF to Google Sheets</h4>
<p>The <i>PDF Tables Extractor </i>is a Google application designed to
extract tables from a PDF file. It extracts all tables in the file,
making sure it retains the row and column structure of the tables.</p>
<p>It then converts the file into a CSV format that you can directly
edit. It also displays the extracted (and edited) table in the form of
an HTML table within the browser. You can easily copy this table into
Google Sheets directly.</p>
<p>This app can be used to extract tables from PDF files both on your Google drive and well as your local hard disk.</p>

<p>For security purposes, we recommend locally converting your PDF to a
Word document. Whenever you upload your document to a remote server,
there’s always a chance that the contents might be leaked. However, if
your document doesn’t contain sensitive data, another reliable way to
turn your PDF into a Word document is by using an <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569483&url=https://www.bigpdfconverter.com/pdf-to-word&xcust=2-1-622815-1-0-0&sref=https://www.pcworld.com/article/622815/how-to-convert-a-pdf-to-a-word-document.html" rel="nofollow">online converter</a>.

Perhaps you're having a brilliant idea, or you have just remembered something you forgot to do. Luckily, some Chrome extensions are perfect for when you need to take notes on the go.<br /><br />Curious to find out more? Here are three tools for taking notes in Chrome while using your computer or smartphone. Let's dive in!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">1. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Papier</a></span><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUCQ6Zz_rGZXYoAg4mRLs-y7SXs6smtGRllcfeljYeEd4TmuWR2BJgWyudoORyvF_d60tzSJDnhyAxUwj4dcxDWipwkGgoMc_88QWErEMicBphRjMn5Wr7YR9q7dCXrs1J5tBrNFUMbQEYwVjy0SdkfxSeLnwXiTmPRsHcPao4v3RAZ44CmA=w640-h338" /></a><br /><br /><br />One way to turn Chrome into a notepad is to install Papier, a free browser extension. After you install it, open a tab and write whatever crosses your mind.<br /><br />Papier is clean and distraction-free, making it easy to take notes in Chrome. It allows you to use keyboard shortcuts for emphasizing, underlining, italicizing, and striking through text. There's a night mode to keep things easy on your eyes, too. And you get to add emojis!<br /><br />On top of that, you won't have to worry about <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">saving your notes</a>. Everything you write in a tab is automatically saved. So, you can close the tab and open it later to check your notes or resume your work.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">2. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Litewrite.net</a><br /></span><br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEguqV8kYQNsRKclN3savlAH0aZAx1CBS0nuThn0KriOcW8fCCxdtsWLLRtiXOBS4l57kK--Pm4y0tSxEkyk87FsMkZcfKLe02FJofoBeszrYoK1OSscBq4JV1jX2RNZ99cnayVntHEkCMwZCifMIKjPg9iM8GpKh1wlPb9_E4wjcmR2t2Cg3w=w640-h314" /></a><br /><br /><br />A similar option is Litewrite, an open-source application. Simply type litewrite.net into the address bar to turn Chrome into a notepad. The app works offline too, so can you use it even when you don't have an Internet connection.<br /><br />Connect this Chrome notepad app to your Dropbox, Google Drive, or remote Storage account to sync your data across devices. You may also download and use <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Litewrite</a> as a Chrome extension, so you can access your notes more easily.<br /><br />Its interface is clean and easy to use, and your notes are automatically saved.

5.0 benefits from a well-designed interface: a simple yet engaging
traditional Windows-based UI that does not require the user to have any
special tech knowledge. The software installation procedure is easy and
hassle-free.</p><p>AnyBurn
presents all of its features in a separate pane, from which you can
select and perform disc burning tasks. You can easily select the burning
speed and the target drive. The settings allow you to verify the
written data, finalize the disc, and eject it after burning.</p><p>You
can use the AnyBurn software to burn files to a disc, copy a disc, or
erase a rewritable disc, or even to create an image file from other
files or discs. You can also easily convert images to ISO or BIN/CUE and
view the disc or drive properties. Ripping an audio CD is also
available for MP3, FLAC, APE, WAM, and WAV formats.</p><p>The ability to create backups to discs – whether CD, DVD or Blu-ray – is also provided.</p><p>As
we’ve already touched on, one of the best features of this application
is that it doesn’t demand much in the way of your PC’s resources, using
up little of your CPU’s precious power, and consuming hardly anything in
the way of memory either. The system requirements are extremely low,
and AnyBurn is capable of running on an old Intel Pentium 166MHz with
only 64MB of memory.</p><p>The program is generally responsive and tasks are completed swiftly.<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw6En2nfhp9z6JCqnS1qhT0nEM_B7b0ZvFYo1F0wp0nvgVDJ8NG46bPwn2jKQJmByHjGAvZL83yxpITiyl6pi__kNmvKcl46C-pJxqI8ROEELIQPwRYCMy5IKppiaO2CsIlTpG/s605/3.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="378" data-original-width="605" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw6En2nfhp9z6JCqnS1qhT0nEM_B7b0ZvFYo1F0wp0nvgVDJ8NG46bPwn2jKQJmByHjGAvZL83yxpITiyl6pi__kNmvKcl46C-pJxqI8ROEELIQPwRYCMy5IKppiaO2CsIlTpG/w640-h400/3.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><h2 id="support">Support</h2><p>The application comes with support for eight languages: English, French, Polish, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, German and Spanish.</p><p>These

text-based tutorials on burning audio CDs from various file formats,
ripping audio CDs to multiple formats, and even creating bootable USB

command line functions and their use from these tutorials.</p><p>For any
software-related complaints or queries, users can send a message to

website, and the AnyBurn team promises to reply via email as soon as
possible.</p><h2 id="final-verdict">Final verdict</h2><p>AnyBurn
5.0 is a robust CD/DVD burner which is free and commendably
user-friendly. It allows you to perform a host of CD and DVD burning
functions, with detailed tutorials provided online. AnyBurn’s developers
seem vigilant enough to work on any user grievances and to modify the
app and interface as necessary in respect to the feedback they receive.</p>The <a class="hawk-link-parsed" data-component-tracked="1" href="https://www.techradar.com/best/the-best-free-dvd-burner">best free DVD burner</a> apps<br /><br />Source: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/anyburn<h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name"><br /></h3>PC, Music, & Movie Geekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14180974050375752815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31901250.post-27523534427337421172021-06-14T10:17:00.002-04:002021-06-14T10:20:23.327-04:0065 Chromebook tips for maximum productivity<div class="content">

<p>By JR Raphael,Contributing Editor, Computerworld, 12-18-18<br />Chromebooks may be all about simplicity, but don't be fooled:
Beneath their intuitive outer layer lies a web of advanced options. And
you don't have to be a power user to embrace it.</p><p>Make your way through this massive collection of next-level tips, and you'll be zipping around Chrome OS like a pro in no time.</p><h2 id="toc-1">Getting around Chrome OS</h2><p>1.
The Chrome OS launcher — the drawer-like interface that appears when
you tap the Search key or hit the circle icon in the lower-left corner
of the screen — is actually a powerful universal search tool. Just start
typing as soon as it appears, and you can find and open apps, pull up
websites, and even get answers to specific questions right then and
there — no clicking or digging required.</p><p>2. The launcher has some
easily overlooked extra powers, too. Try typing in calculations
("172.4/3"), for instance, or unit conversions ("14.9 feet to meters")
to put Google to work at the system level.</p><figure><a href="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/01-chromebook-tips-launcher-100782624-orig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="01 chromebook tips launcher" data-imageid="100782624" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/01-chromebook-tips-launcher-100782624-large.jpg" height="521" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/01-chromebook-tips-launcher-100782624-large.jpg" width="700" /></a> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>
<figcaption>
<p>The launcher's search box can pull up apps and websites and perform
all sorts of other functions. (Click the image to enlarge it.)</p>
</figcaption>
</figure><p>3. If you use an Android phone, keep an eye on the very top
part of your Chromebook's launcher. Anytime you've had an article open
recently in Chrome on your phone, you'll see that page's title appear as
the first suggested item directly beneath the launcher's search bar.
Click or tap it to open the article and pick up where you left off.</p><p>4. Chrome OS has a hidden gesture for accessing the launcher, which is especially useful when you're <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3230136/chrome-os/chromebook-android-tablet.html">using a Chromebook as a tablet</a>: Simply swipe up from an open area at the bottom of the screen, and — <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3214404/mobile-wireless/android-chrome-os-alignment.html#1">just like with Android</a> on Google's Pixel phones — the full launcher will appear.</p><p>5.
You can hide the shelf — the row of pinned "favorites" at the bottom of
your screen — by right-clicking it (clicking with two fingers) or
long-pressing on it and then selecting the "Autohide shelf" option that
appears. That'll cause the shelf to disappear anytime you have an app or
window open and then reappear when you mouse over its area or swipe
upward from the bottom of the screen. It'll also always show up when
you're viewing your desktop.</p><p>6. Quickly open any item on your
shelf by pressing Alt and then the number key that corresponds with its
position: Alt-1 for the first app in the list, Alt-2 for the second, and
so on.</p><p>7. Right-click or long-press on any app in your shelf or
within the main launcher to reveal a series of program-specific
shortcuts. You'll find the most options with Android apps, many of which
offer one-touch links to functions like composing new messages,
starting new documents, or jumping to specific folders or accounts.</p><p>8. As of 2018, Chrome OS boasts a <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3300872/chrome-os/androidification-of-chrome-os.html">distinctly Android-like</a>
combined Quick Settings and notification panel in its lower-right
corner. You can open it without moving your hands off your keyboard by
pressing Shift-Alt-N from anywhere in the system.</p><p>9. Just like on
Android, it's possible to clear out all of your Chrome OS notifications
in one fell swoop — but the command is curiously tough to find. Here's
the secret: With your notification panel open, scroll up as far as you
can on the area of the screen showing notifications. Once you've moved
past the bottommost notification, you'll reveal a "Clear all" button.</p><figure><a href="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/02-chromebook-tips-notifications-100782625-orig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="02 chromebook tips notifications" data-imageid="100782625" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/02-chromebook-tips-notifications-100782625-large.jpg" height="620" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/02-chromebook-tips-notifications-100782625-large.jpg" width="700" /></a> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>
<figcaption>
<p>Scroll all the way up on a Chromebook's notifications, and you'll see
a "Clear all" command to dismiss them all at once. (Click the image to

</figcaption>
</figure><p>10. Got a Chromebook with a stylus? You can take notes right from the lock screen with the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.keep" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Google Keep Android app</a>.
Install the app and then look in the "Stylus" section of your device's
settings to make sure the option for lock-screen note-taking is enabled.
Once it's active, you'll see an icon in the upper-right corner of your
lock screen that'll let you scribble away.</p><h2 id="toc-2">Managing apps and windows</h2><p>11.
You might not realize it, but your Chromebook has a handy Overview
interface for juggling open apps and windows. You can get to it by
pressing the button that looks like a box with two lines on your
keyboard (in the function row, directly to the left of the brightness
controls) or by pressing the similarly shaped icon that appears in the
lower-right corner of the screen when a Chromebook is in its tablet
mode.</p><p>12. Prefer to get around with your trackpad? Make a mental
note of this handy hidden trick: You can swipe downward with three
fingers on your trackpad from anywhere in the system to open the
Overview interface and see all of your open apps. You can then swipe
back upward with three fingers to return to your most recently used
process.</p><p>13. One more nifty Overview access trick: When your
convertible Chromebook is in its tablet mode (with the keyboard either
detached or swiveled around the back), swipe down from the top of the
screen while any app is open. That'll shrink the app down into the
Overview screen, where you can drop it and then select any other active
app or window you want to open.</p><p>14. You can open two apps side by
side in a split-screen mode by following the same step described above
but then dragging the app to the left or right side of the screen. When
you see that half of the screen light up, let go — then either select
another active app from the Overview interface or open a new app from
your launcher to fill the other half. You can do this with any
combination of websites, Chrome apps, Android apps, and even Linux apps
(more on those in a moment).</p><figure><a href="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/03-chromebook-tips-split-screen-100782626-orig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="03 chromebook tips split screen" data-imageid="100782626" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/03-chromebook-tips-split-screen-100782626-large.jpg" height="466" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/03-chromebook-tips-split-screen-100782626-large.jpg" width="700" /></a> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>
<figcaption>
<p>Chrome OS's split-screen mode can be a helpful way to multitask while
using a Chromebook in its tablet mode. (Click the image to enlarge it.)</p>
</figcaption>
</figure><p>15. While viewing two apps in a split-screen setup, press
and hold the black bar in the center and drag it in either direction to
make either side larger or smaller.</p><p>16. If you have a lot of apps
and windows open, try going into Chrome OS's Overview screen and then
typing the name of the process you want. The system will gray out
nonmatching items as you type and highlight only those that include
whatever letters you've entered.</p><p>17. Prefer a faster Alt-Tab-like
method of switching between processes? Your Chromebook has that, too —
quite literally: Just press Alt-Tab once to toggle back and forth
between your two most recently used apps or windows, or press and hold
Alt-Tab to pull up a quick switching utility that'll let you tab between
all of your actively open items.</p><p>18. Want to move backwards in
your Alt-Tab list — from right to left instead of left to right? Hold
down Shift along with Alt and Tab.</p><p>19. Snap any app or window to
the side of your screen by hitting either Alt and [ (left bracket) for
the left side or Alt and ] (right bracket) for the right side. Repeat
the command a second time to return the app or window to its default
centered position.</p><p>20. Minimize an app or window by pressing Alt
and - (the minus key). Press that same key sequence again to bring the
app or window back up into its previous position.</p><p>21. Maximize an
app or window by pressing Alt and = (the equals key). Press that same
key sequence again to move the app back into its previous size.</p><p>22.
Give your Chromebook's apps some extra organization by creating folders
within the Chrome OS launcher. All you've gotta do is click or tap on
any app and then drag it on top of another app's icon. You can then
click or tap to open the folder and give it a name. And if you ever want
to take an app <i>out</i> of a folder, just click or tap the app in question and drag it out.</p><figure><a href="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/04-chromebook-tips-folders-100782627-orig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="04 chromebook tips folders" data-imageid="100782627" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/04-chromebook-tips-folders-100782627-large.jpg" height="464" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/04-chromebook-tips-folders-100782627-large.jpg" width="700" /></a> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>

<p>Organize your Chromebook's launcher by grouping similar apps together into folders. (Click the image to enlarge it.)</p>
</figcaption>
</figure><h2 id="toc-3">Getting around the web</h2><p>23. Within a
regular browser window, swipe left on the screen — or on your trackpad,
using two fingers — to go back one page in your browsing history. Swipe
right to go forward.</p><p>24. You can also press Alt and the left or right arrow key to accomplish the same thing.</p><p>25. In a window with multiple tabs, swipe left or right on your trackpad with <i>three</i> fingers to move among the tabs.</p><p>26.
Next time you want to open a link as a new tab, save yourself a step
and simply click the link with three fingers on your trackpad. It'll
automatically open into a new tab in the background — no right-clicking
and menu-selecting required.</p><p>27. Close a tab quickly by hovering over its title bar and then clicking your Chromebook's trackpad with three fingers.</p><p>28. Pull up the browser's main menu in a jiff by hitting Alt-E while in an active window.</p><p>29.
Need to open up a new browser window from the Chrome OS desktop — or
pretty much anywhere else in the operating system? Just hit Ctrl-N.</p><p>30.
Add any website you visit regularly into your device's shelf for easy
on-demand access by opening Chrome's menu (while viewing the site),
selecting "More tools," and then selecting "Create shortcut."</p><p>31.
If you have a shortcut to a website in your Chromebook's shelf and you
want it to look more like a regular app — without the browser-oriented
elements — right-click or long-press its icon, hover over the arrow next
to "New tab," and select "New window" from the panel that appears.</p><p>32.
If you're really feeling ambitious, you can go a step further and turn
any website into an actual native Chrome app — with any icon and color
scheme you want — by following the steps outlined on <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3308496/chrome-os/custom-chrome-os-app.html">this page</a>.</p><figure><img alt="Custom Chromebook App - Slack" data-imageid="100773906" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/09/custom-chromebook-app-slack-100773906-large.jpg" height="554" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/09/custom-chromebook-app-slack-100773906-large.jpg" width="700" /> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>

<p>You can make any website look and act like a native Chrome app, as seen here with Slack.</p>
</figcaption>
</figure><p>33. Some websites — such as Sling TV — somehow still don't
recognize a Chromebook as a valid type of computer and consequently
won't let you sign in and use their services. You can get around this by
installing the free <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-g/ffhkkpnppgnfaobgihpdblnhmmbodake/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">User-Agent Switcher for Google Chrome</a>
extension. Then, just select a different operating system within the
extension's menu, and that's it: The silly website will be tricked into
thinking you're on a different type of device — and whaddya know,
everything will suddenly work fine.</p><h2 id="toc-4">Improving your text input</h2><p>34.
Don't make yourself use that oversized on-screen keyboard that comes up
by default in a Chromebook's tablet mode. Instead, tap the second icon
along the keyboard's top row — the one that looks like a rectangle with a
small, dark rectangle inside it. That'll shrink Chrome OS's keyboard
down into a far more manageable phone-like keyboard that you can move
around (using the "handle" at the keyboard's bottom) and place anywhere
you like.</p><figure><a href="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/05-chromebook-tips-keyboard-100782628-orig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="05 chromebook tips keyboard" data-imageid="100782628" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/05-chromebook-tips-keyboard-100782628-large.jpg" height="466" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/05-chromebook-tips-keyboard-100782628-large.jpg" width="700" /></a> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>
<figcaption>
<p>The floating on-screen keyboard is much easier to use than Chrome
OS's default full-width version. (Click the image to enlarge it.)</p>
</figcaption>
</figure><p>35. If handwriting is more your thing, be it with your
finger or a stylus, tap the first icon along the Chrome OS keyboard's
top row — the one that looks like a hand-drawn squiggle. That'll give
you an open canvas on which you can write anything you want by hand and
have it converted into text as you go.</p><p>36. Chrome OS's on-screen
keyboard has a built-in microphone icon that makes voice-to-text simple
for tablet-style usage, but you can actually tap into the same superb
dictation system even when using a Chromebook with a physical keyboard:
Open up your Chromebook's settings, scroll all the way down to the
bottom, and tap "Advanced." Scroll down more until you see the
"Accessibility" header, then tap "Manage accessibility features" beneath
it. Next, activate the toggle next to "Enable dictation (speak to
type)," beneath the "Keyboard and text input" header. That'll put a
small microphone icon in the lower-right corner of your screen, next to
the notification panel; you can then tap it anytime to start speaking
and have your words transcribed wherever your cursor is active.</p><p>37.
Find yourself missing the Caps Lock key? Press the Search key and Alt
together to activate Caps Lock. When you're ready to STOP SHOUTING,
press Search and Alt again to switch back to normal text.</p><p>38. Alternatively, if you <i>really</i>
miss Caps Lock — and don't mind giving up Chrome OS's Search key to
have it — you can remap the Search key so that it functions as a Caps
Lock key by opening your Chromebook's settings and selecting "Keyboard"
(beneath the "Device" header).</p><p>39. Give your Chromebook extra typing smarts by installing <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/text-blaze/idgadaccgipmpannjkmfddolnnhmeklj" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Text Blaze</a>, an extension that <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3317939/software-productivity/time-saving-typing-tool-chrome.html">lets you create complex custom macros</a>
for your most commonly used phrases. You could set it up to
automatically fill in your mailing address anytime you type "/add" or
even to fill in a complicated email template whenever you type something
like "*go." The possibilities are practically endless, as is the
potential for saving time.<br /><br /></p><div id="drr-container" itemprop="articleBody">
<h2 id="toc-5">Managing files</h2><p>40. Chromebooks are all about
the cloud and keeping your data perpetually synced — but by default, any
files you download are actually stored in a local device folder. Fix
that by opening up your Chromebook's settings, scrolling to the bottom,
and selecting "Advanced." Find the line labeled "Location" under the
"Downloads" header. Click "Change" and select a folder (or make a new
folder specifically for downloads) within your Google Drive storage.
Now, anything you download will automatically be saved to Drive and thus
be instantly available wherever you sign in.</p><p>41. If you <em>really</em>
want to get wild, you can crank up your Chromebook's cloud-connecting
power even more by having your Windows or Mac computer and Android phone
<em>also</em> sync downloads with that same Drive folder — effectively
creating a single device-agnostic and internet-based "Downloads" folder.
That way, anything you download will always be available on any device
you're using. You can find the full instructions, if you dare, in <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3285643/chrome-os/chromebook-cloud-connecting-power.html">this Android Intelligence column</a>.</p><p>42.
Want your Chromebook to integrate with cloud storage beyond just Google
Drive? No problem: Open up Chrome OS's Files app, click or tap the
three-dot menu icon in its upper-right corner, and select "Add new
service" from the menu that appears. You can then select to add a new
SMB file share — if you have a network server you want to be able to
access — or to install a new service, if you want to integrate Dropbox,
OneDrive, or other remote storage services into the Files app for
system-wide use.</p><figure><a href="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/06-chromebook-tips-file-services-100782629-orig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="06 chromebook tips file services" data-imageid="100782629" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/06-chromebook-tips-file-services-100782629-large.jpg" height="443" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/06-chromebook-tips-file-services-100782629-large.jpg" width="700" /></a> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>
<figcaption>
<p>A few quick clicks are all it takes to integrate Dropbox, OneDrive,
and other cloud services directly into Chrome OS's file system. (Click

</figcaption>
</figure><p>43. You can create custom shortcuts to commonly used folders
— from either your local storage or any connected cloud service — in
the left panel of your Chromebook's Files app for easy ongoing access.
Find the folder you want and right-click it, then select "Create
shortcut" to add it into the list.</p><p>44. Speaking of your Files app, a shortcut to remember: You can quickly open it anytime, from anywhere, by hitting Shift-Alt-M.</p><p>45.
While in the Files app, you can switch between different sections by
hitting Ctrl and then the number keys that correspond with their
position (Ctrl-1 for Recent, Ctrl-3 for Images, and so on).</p><p>46.
Chrome OS's Files app has a built-in photo editor that's perfect for
basic image manipulation. While viewing an image in Files, click the
pencil-shaped icon in the upper-right corner — or hit "e" on your
keyboard — to get started.</p><p>47. For an even more robust file management experience, try installing the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Solid Explorer</a> Android app (also my top pick for advanced <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3221287/android/android-file-management-an-easy-to-follow-guide.html">file management on Android</a>)
onto your Chromebook. It's optimized for Chrome OS support and gives
you a two-panel view for fast dragging and dropping of files between
different locations — including your regular Chrome OS storage, the area
of your storage reserved for Android apps, and a huge variety of
cloud-based storage accounts you can opt to connect. It also empowers
you to add extra encryption onto specific files or folders and even to
create password-protected ZIP or 7ZIP archives. The app costs $2 after a
two-week trial.</p><figure><a href="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/07-chromebook-tips-solid-explorer-100782630-orig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="07 chromebook tips solid explorer" data-imageid="100782630" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/07-chromebook-tips-solid-explorer-100782630-large.jpg" height="466" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/07-chromebook-tips-solid-explorer-100782630-large.jpg" width="700" /></a> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>

</figure><h2 id="toc-6">Simplifying security</h2><p>48. Your Android phone can serve as a virtual key to your Chromebook. All you have to do is set up <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3322626/google-smart-lock-complete-guide.html">Smart Lock</a>,
which lets you avoid typing in your password whenever your phone is
unlocked and nearby. Open the "Connected devices" section of your
Chromebook's settings to enable the feature and configure its options.</p><p>49.
If you're using a convertible Chromebook as a tablet, you probably
don't want to type in your full password on a giant virtual keyboard
every time the system wakes up — especially if you're in a public place
with lots of wandering eyes. Luckily, there's a better way: In the
"Screen lock and sign-in" section of your device's settings (under the
"People" header), you'll find an option to create a PIN that can be
tapped in more discreetly on the screen, similar to how you'd unlock a
phone.</p><figure><a href="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/08-chromebook-tips-security-pin-100782631-orig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="08 chromebook tips security pin" data-imageid="100782631" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/08-chromebook-tips-security-pin-100782631-large.jpg" height="438" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/08-chromebook-tips-security-pin-100782631-large.jpg" width="700" /></a> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>
<figcaption>
<p>Setting a PIN makes it more practical to unlock a Chromebook in its tablet mode. (Click the image to enlarge it.)</p>
</figcaption>
</figure><p>50. Let someone else use your Chromebook without gaining
access to all your info with the help of Chrome OS's Guest Mode. Just
look for the "Browse as Guest" option on the lock screen when no one is
actively signed in. That'll open up an incognito-like environment where
no personal or account-related data is available and nothing that
happens is saved beyond that session.</p><p>51. By default, Chromebooks
make it easy for anyone to add an account and sign in from the lock
screen — something you may not want to have happen on your work device.
You can turn this feature off by opening the "Manage other people"
section in your Chromebook's settings. Activate the toggle next to the
line labeled "Restrict sign-in to the following users" and then make
sure only your account and any others you want on the device are
included in the list.</p><p>52. Next time you're stepping away from your
Chromebook, secure it quickly by hitting the Search key and then L.
That'll take you back to the lock screen and the account sign-in prompt.</p><p>53.
If you want to go a step further, hitting Ctrl-Shift-Q twice will sign
you out of the Chromebook completely — closing any open apps, windows,
and so on — no matter where you are in the system or what you're doing.</p><h2 id="toc-7">Embracing system tools</h2><p>54.
Chromebooks have multiple ways to capture screenshots, three of which
are particularly useful: To capture the entire screen, either hit Ctrl
and the Overview key if your physical keyboard is handy — or press your
device's physical power and volume-down buttons if you're using a
Chromebook in its tablet mode. To capture a specific limited area of the
screen, hit Ctrl, Shift, and the Overview key and then use the
on-screen guides to select the area you want.</p><p>55. Need to focus?
Open up Chrome OS's notification panel — at the bottom-right of the
screen — and click the icon that looks like a circle with a line through
it (above the word "Notifications"). That'll put your Chromebook into
Do Not Disturb mode, and no notifications will alert you until you turn
it off.</p><p>56. You can also limit which apps and processes are
allowed to notify you in general. Just click the word "Notifications" in
that same area of the notification panel and then uncheck any titles
you don't want to be able to generate alerts.</p><figure><a href="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/09-chromebook-tips-notifications-100782632-orig.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="09 chromebook tips notifications" data-imageid="100782632" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/09-chromebook-tips-notifications-100782632-large.jpg" height="519" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/12/09-chromebook-tips-notifications-100782632-large.jpg" width="700" /></a> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>

</figcaption>
</figure><p>57. Give your eyes a break from the glare and take advantage
of Chrome OS's Night Light mode whenever you're staring at your screen
in the dark. Night Light adjusts the temperature of your display to make
it less harsh in dim conditions (just like the same-named feature on
certain Android phones, such as Google's Pixel devices). You can
activate it by looking for the Night Light button within the Quick
Settings panel — and you can customize its appearance and even tell it
to turn on and off automatically based on the time of day by looking in
the "Displays" section of the Chrome OS settings.</p><p>58. Speaking of
visual optimization, take a moment to explore Chrome OS's recently
updated wallpaper tool, which allows you to pick a category of images —
things like cityscapes, landscapes, and art — and then have the system
automatically refresh your device's wallpaper with a new image every
day. After all, a pleasant work environment is critical for
productivity, right? Right-click (or long-press) on an open area of your
desktop and select "Set wallpaper" to check out the options.</p><p>59.
If your Chromebook is running slowly or an app is acting up, hold the
Search key and then hit Esc to open Chrome OS's Task Manager. There, you
can see memory and CPU use for every active process and manually end
any item as needed.</p><p>60. Pressing Alt and then the brightness up or
down keys (in your keyboard's function row) will let you manually
adjust your keyboard's backlighting — assuming, of course, that your
Chromebook has a backlit keyboard.</p><p>61. Stylus users, listen up: If
your Chromebook came with a connected stylus, be sure to look for the
stylus menu in the lower-right corner of the screen (alongside the
settings and notification panels). It'll give you quick-tap options for
changing your stylus's current function and taking full advantage of
everything it can do.</p><h2 id="toc-8">Breaking down boundaries</h2><p>62. Don't forget about <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3230909/enterprise-applications/how-to-connect-to-a-remote-computer-with-chrome-remote-desktop.html">Chrome Remote Desktop</a>.
It's a simple and effective way to access another computer (Windows,
Mac, Chrome OS, or Linux) from your Chromebook without any costly or
complicated software.</p><p>63. If you need to show your Chromebook's
screen on a larger display, meanwhile — like a Chromecast-connected TV
in your office, conference center, or abode — look for the "Cast" option
in the Chrome OS Quick Settings panel. It'll automatically pull up any
compatible Cast targets on the same Wi-Fi network, and with one more
tap, your computer's screen will be mirrored.</p><p>64. Remember that
many recent Chromebooks can now run Linux apps — something that won't be
sensible or necessary for most people but can be an interesting way for
advanced users to expand Chrome OS's horizons. See my detailed <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3314739/chrome-os/how-to-use-linux-apps-on-chrome-os.html">Linux apps on Chrome OS guide</a> to get started.</p><figure><img alt="linux apps chrome os installing linux" data-imageid="100777158" data-license="IDG" data-original="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/10/05-linux-apps-chrome-os-installing-linux-100777158-large.jpg" height="467" src="https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2018/10/05-linux-apps-chrome-os-installing-linux-100777158-large.jpg" width="700" /> <small>JR Raphael/IDG</small>
<figcaption>
<p>Setting up your Chromebook to run Linux apps isn't exactly simple,
but for certain types of advanced users, it can open up a lot of
intriguing possibilities.</p>
</figcaption>
</figure><p>65. Want to use a browser other than Chrome on your
Chromebook for a while? That's actually now possible, thanks to the
availability of <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3234533/android/android-apps-for-chromebooks-the-essentials.html">Android apps on Chromebooks</a>. Provided your Chromebook is recent enough to <a href="https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">support the Google Play Store</a>, just open it up and take your pick. You can install common favorites like <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Firefox</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Opera</a> along with more niche-oriented titles like <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Dolphin</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudmosa.puffinFree" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Puffin</a>.

If you want to jot down notes or write code on your Chromebook, you're going to need a reliable text editor.
</p>
<p>
Here are some of the best HTML editors and text editors for your Chromebook device.
</p>
<h2 id="caret">
1. Caret<br /><br /><br /></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcn0ZxCEdIoP-ajG3JRGS8MWWzpYFtdbZf4LUqOH8voWoEe6ysNhPdr52APbpAfp31qGgpSwXTm6zmXXW6fAfciRXgXJsITP_wmHG8hvwInG2NHLBsNDIzDpftcmtZhXcxNrFa/s766/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="565" data-original-width="766" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcn0ZxCEdIoP-ajG3JRGS8MWWzpYFtdbZf4LUqOH8voWoEe6ysNhPdr52APbpAfp31qGgpSwXTm6zmXXW6fAfciRXgXJsITP_wmHG8hvwInG2NHLBsNDIzDpftcmtZhXcxNrFa/w640-h472/1.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<p>
Caret is the Chromebook text editor of choice for developers
and coders. The app runs completely offline and, importantly, is
capable of opening and saving files either locally or in your Google
Drive.
</p>
<p>
Modeled on Sublime Text, Caret is a full-featured,
open-source code editor that uses Mozilla's Ace code editor to highlight
code in almost any language you want.
</p>
<p>
Key features include tabbed editing, JSON-format settings
files, and sublime-compatible keymappings. The only drawback for coders
is the lack of Git and SFTP integration. Unfortunately, the developer
has indicated he has no plans to incorporate support in the future.
</p>
<p>
For users who just want to use it as a simple note-taking
and text-dump application, it works equally well. The interface is basic
and clean, just like Notepad on Windows and TextEdit on macOS; it
allows users to create simple documents and make quick edits to text
files.

<p>
Text is a simple Notepad++ alternative for Chromebook. It
doesn't have cloud-synchronization nor is it modeled on Sublime Text,
but it does offer syntax highlighting for various programming languages
and uses a distraction-free interface.
</p>
<p>
The app is powered by CodeMirror, though it doesn't take
full advantage of the versatile text editor's features. For example,
there is no integration of JavaScript autocomplete, yet smart
indentation and bracket and tag matching are supported.
</p>
<p>
For those who do not have complex needs, Text offers a
user-friendly experience that is easy to master. The app can save and
open files directly to/from the local hard-drive, supports having
multiple files open at the same time, and has full offline
functionality.

<p>
Unbeknown to many, a (very) simple text editor is built directly into the Chrome browser.
</p>
<p>
Enter <strong>data:text/html, <html contenteditable></strong>
in your Chrome's address bar and you'll be presented with an editable
page just like Notepad and TextEdit. You can even save the document (as
an HTML page) by hitting <strong>Ctrl + S</strong>.
</p>

If you'd prefer a simpler way to use your browser as a text
editor, the under-appreciated Quick Write Text Editor is worth a look.
</p>
<p>
The distraction-free app fills a tab with an editable field.
You can set the text font, color, size, and change the color of the
background.
</p>
<p>
Quick Write Text Editor also works offline—so when you want
to edit text on your Chromebook while you're away from Wi-Fi, you won't
be stuck.

Google Docs is primarily a <a href="https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/microsoft-word-alternatives/">Microsoft Word alternative</a> for your Chromebook—but if you need a native app to quickly take notes on something, it will do the job.
</p>
<p>
The other Google app worth considering is Google Keep. It's
great for project management, to-do lists, and saving documents
on-the-fly. We've written <a href="https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/google-keep-lists/">how to use Google Keep</a> if you'd like to learn more.

Web Text Editor is a nifty Chromebook app that will let you edit the text of any website in your browser.
</p>
<p>
Of course, you're not overwriting the content of the actual
site, but it's useful for people who deal with text on websites every
day and want to quickly point out potential changes to colleagues.
</p>
<p>
And let's be honest; the app also has great prank potential—just think of all those possible Wikipedia edits...

If you need an HTML editor for Chromebook, check out Edit With Sublime Text.
</p>
<p>
It allows users to edit the content of an HTML node element,
as well as edit "TEXTAREA", "INPUT[type=search]" and "INPUT[type=text]"
elements externally.
</p>
<p>
The extension can be used to edit multiple nodes at the same
time, with each node having its own text file that you save as needed.
</p>
<p>
You can also use Edit With Sublime Text to access the
DevTools panel and convert either an external script or an external CSS
resource to an internal version.

We'll end the list with another very simplistic text editor, Noteblock.
</p>
<p>
It is designed to be used as a notepad to jot down ideas
while you are browsing the web. When you click the extension, a text
block will pop up in the top-right corner, and you can start writing
immediately.
</p>
<p>
Uniquely for this type of app, Noteblock offers tabbed notes
within the extension itself. That means not only can you keep your
notes organized, but they also won't become lost among all your other
tabs.
</p>
<p>
Your notes are saved locally rather than in the cloud, so you can rest easy from a privacy perspective.

Chromebooks might not garner the same number of headlines
that they did a couple of years ago, but they are still great machines
and fulfill most of your productivity needs.

Here are the best budget-friendly Chromebooks.</p></div></article><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">This is one argument where Chromebook vs. Windows has an obvious winner. Chromebook's always come out on top because you can utilize them for a lower cost than many Windows laptops while having almost the same performance level.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">Chrome OS works more efficiently, even when running on lower-end hardware. There is no Windows device available in the market today for $300 that can provide you with the same performance as a similarly priced Chromebook.</p><div class="ad-odd" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></div><h2 id="almost-no-virus-threat" style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 3.4em; letter-spacing: -0.3px; margin: 0px 0px 1.71429rem; padding: 0px;">2. (Almost) No Virus Threat</h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">When it comes to Chrome OS, <a href="https://www.muo.com/chromebook-antivirus/" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(191, 13, 11); border-image: initial; border-left: none; border-radius: 0px; border-right: none; border-top: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #bf0d0b; font-weight: 700; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s;">there is no such thing as a virus</a>.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">You don’t need to install traditional apps on Chrome OS. The operation system uses web apps instead, which run in a browser window. If you don’t have to run installable software, your Chromebook can’t get infected by traditional viruses.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">Sandboxing contributes a lot as well. Each browser, Linux app, Android app, or web app that you open will run in a unique virtual sandbox. This helps isolate it from the rest of the operating system.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">Thus, if malware exists on that particular page, it won’t penetrate the entire system. The process can be easily killed by simply closing the tab.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">Let’s imagine a hypothetical scenario where malware somehow punches through the sandbox. The question arises, what happens next?</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">Well, Chrome OS can take good care of that because of a special feature called Verified Boot. Each time you boot up your Chromebook, it automatically runs a system integrity check. And if there’s something wrong, it will fix itself immediately.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">The only type of threat that may cause concern is browser extensions. Make sure to verify or double-check your Chrome extensions before getting them. This requires your thorough analysis.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">With anything other than extensions, there’s no reason to worry as your Chromebook is safe and always good to go. However, while malware or traditional viruses won’t be able to harm your Chromebook, it won't stop a phishing attack or prevent online fraud. That's down to you.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">Hackers have not targeted Chromebooks in same the way Windows is targeted. Google proudly promotes the security features of Chrome OS as a vital selling point. Chromebooks instantly check and apply actual security updates, and that includes sandboxing media and web filters.</p><div class="ad-odd" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></div><h2 id="runs-faster-and-boots-instantly" style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 3.4em; letter-spacing: -0.3px; margin: 0px 0px 1.71429rem; padding: 0px;">3.

Record the time it takes before you can start using it. If the laptop was in sleep mode, it probably booted fairly quickly. But the wait probably takes much longer if it was turned off.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 3rem; padding: 0px;">Chromebooks don’t take long to boot, because they can load the operating system in seconds.

ARM has historically been used for low power mobile chips, so why exactly is ARM crushing x86 on the desktop and server space?</p><h2 aria-level="2" role="heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; font-size: 28px;">Everyone Is Going ARM These Days</h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The processor world is a complex industry, and only a few designs from a few companies are able to compete on the high end of performance. Usually, Intel or AMD holds the crown of performance, with both of them manufacturing x86 CPUs. But recently, CPUs from Apple and Amazon based on ARM have been giving Intel (and the x86 architecture) a run for their money.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Amazon has their Graviton2 CPU, which isn’t faster than Intel’s server counterparts, but is more cost effective and uses less power. With how much of an improvement it was over Graviton1, their next iteration will likely be fierce competition in the server space.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Apple hit it out of the park with their first non-mobile CPU, the Apple Silicon M1 processor, which runs faster than desktop Intel CPUs and nearly as fast as AMD’s Ryzen 5000 series, the current performance crown. It’s custom silicon which makes Apple Macbooks the current fastest laptops in the world, much to the chagrin of PC enthusiasts (myself included).</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8689" height="300" src="https://www.cloudsavvyit.com/thumbcache/0/0/e1c867dd93e957a75c25da86cea5e171/p/uploads/2020/12/2c8cf196.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="700" /></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">In fact, they’re so far ahead in the laptop space that <a href="https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/apple-m1-runs-windows-faster-3798990/#:~:text=Apple%27s%20new%20M1%20processor%20can,Microsoft%27s%20Surface%20Pro%20X%20series.&text=When%20running%20the%20ARM%20version,multi%2Dcore%20rating%20of%204%2C769." style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: purple;">Windows on the M1 Macbook runs faster than the Surface Pro X</a>, despite Windows on ARM only running <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">through an emulator.</em> And as if that wasn’t humiliating enough, it absolutely crushes it with a Geekbench Single-Core score of 1,390 compared the Surface’s 802, which is laughably bad in comparison. The M1 is seriously fast.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Microsoft is also <a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/microsoft-may-be-developing-its-own-in-house-arm-cpu-designs/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: purple;">rumored to be developing their own in-house ARM processor</a>, and though that rumor comes from the Azure server space, they’d likely use the same chip for the Surface if they can match Apple’s performance.</p><h2 aria-level="2" role="heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; font-size: 28px;">What’s The Difference Between ARM and x86?</h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">At the end of the day, there isn’t too much of a difference between ARM and x86. You can still run Google Chrome and watch YouTube on either one. In fact, you may be doing so right now, as nearly all Androids and every iPhone uses an ARM-based processor.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The biggest difference for most people is that older applications meant for x86 will need to be recompiled to run on ARM as well. For some things this is easy, but not everything will be supported, especially legacy software. However, even that <a href="https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/12/10/introducing-x64-emulation-in-preview-for-windows-10-on-arm-pcs-to-the-windows-insider-program/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: purple;">can usually run through x86 emulation</a>, which Windows is starting to support.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">For developers, there are a lot of differences in how applications get compiled, but these days, most compilers do a good job of supporting the major instruction sets, and you won’t really have to make many changes to get it compiling for multiple platforms.</p><h2 aria-level="2" role="heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; font-size: 28px;">But How is ARM Running Faster?</h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">To answer this question, we’ll have to delve deeper into how CPUs work under the hood.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">ARM and x86 are both <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">instruction sets</em>, also known as <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">architectures, </em>which basically are a list of micro-code “programs” that the CPU supports. This is why you don’t need to worry about running a Windows app on a specific AMD or Intel CPU; they’re both x86 CPUs, and while the exact designs are different (and perform differently), they both support the same instructions. This means any program compiled for x86 will, in general, support both CPUs.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">CPUs basically execute operations sequentially, like a machine given a list of tasks to do. Each instruction is known as an <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">opcode,</em> and architectures like x86 have a lot of opcodes, especially considering they’ve been around for decades. Because of this complexity, x86 is known as a “Complex Instruction Set,” or CISC.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">CISC architectures generally take the design approach of packing a lot of stuff into a single instruction. For example, an instruction for multiplication may move data from a memory bank to a register, then perform the steps for the multiplication, and shuffle the results around in memory. All in one instruction.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Under the hood though, this instruction gets unpacked into many “micro-ops,” which the CPU executes. The benefit of CISC is memory usage, and since back in the day it was at a premium, CISC used to be better.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8688" height="375" src="https://www.cloudsavvyit.com/thumbcache/0/0/3ce26cb700b6882c7823fbd0b1d2982e/p/uploads/2020/12/a2d0d6b9.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="700" /></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">However, that’s not the bottleneck anymore, and this is where RISC comes into play. RISC, or Reduced Instruction Set, basically does away with complex multi-part instructions. Each instruction mostly can execute in a single clock cycle, though many long operations will need to wait on results from other areas of the CPU or memory.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">While this seems like going backwards, it has huge implications for CPU design. CPUs need to load all their instructions from RAM and execute them as fast as possible. It turns out it’s far easier to do that when you have many simple instructions versus a lot of complex ones. The CPU runs faster when the instruction buffer can be filled up, and that’s a lot easier to do when the instructions are smaller and easier to process.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">RISC also has the benefit of something called Out-of-Order execution, or OoOE. Essentially, the CPU has a unit inside of it that reorders and optimizes instructions coming into it. For example, if an application needs to calculate two things, but they don’t depend on each other, the CPU can execute both in parallel. Usually, parallel code is very complicated for developers to write, but at the lowest levels of the CPU, it can make use of multi-tasking to speed things up. The Apple M1 chip uses OoOE to great effect.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">If you’re interested in the inner workings, you should <a href="https://debugger.medium.com/why-is-apples-m1-chip-so-fast-3262b158cba2" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: purple;">read this fantastic write-up by Erik Engheim on what makes the Apple M1 chip so fast</a>. In short, it makes heavy usage of specialized silicon, Out-of-order execution, and having way more instruction decoders to support its speed.</p><h2 aria-level="2" role="heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; font-size: 28px;">Is ARM Going To Replace x86?</h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8697" height="291" src="https://www.cloudsavvyit.com/thumbcache/0/0/af5a8e78ed9a6789030f327b9912bee9/p/uploads/2020/12/9a116768.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="640" /></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The honest answer is, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">probably</span>. Intel has been feeling the end of Moore’s law for years now, and while AMD has been able to make performance leaps in recent years, they’re not far ahead.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">This isn’t to say that x86 will die off anytime soon, but it’s clear that ARM has more potential than just being a mobile architecture—a stigma which is no longer valid given the current direction of the industry. The benefits of RISC architectures are clear, and with how much the Apple M1 chip has already improved, the future of the industry looks promising.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Plus, ARM isn’t the only RISC architecture out there. It’s still proprietary, though ARM licenses its designs to third-party designers, like Qualcomm, Samsung, and Apple. RISC-V is open source, and is similarly promising. It’s a standardized instruction set architecture, leaving the exact implementations up to the manufacturer. If the industry does move towards RISC in general, there will be open and closed source implementations available.</p></div></article><div class="nextup" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span aria-level="2" id="nextuplabel" role="heading" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: black; display: block; font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 10px;"><br /></span><ul id="nextuplist" style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding-left: 0px;"></ul></div><div class="shortbioauthordiv" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 15px;"><a href="https://www.cloudsavvyit.com/author/anthonyheddings/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: purple;"><img alt="Anthony Heddings" src="https://www.cloudsavvyit.com/thumbcache/200/200/b61217adbd4c46bbe0a1cdb699fa5a4f/p/uploads/2019/11/ecebbecf.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; float: left; height: auto; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-right: 15px; max-width: 100%; width: 100px;" /></a><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><a class="shortbioauthor" href="https://www.cloudsavvyit.com/author/anthonyheddings/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: purple; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; text-transform: uppercase;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1d55a9; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">ANTHONY HEDDINGS</span></a><br style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px;" /><span class="biotext" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 15px;">Anthony Heddings is the resident cloud engineer for LifeSavvy Media, a technical writer, programmer, and an expert at Amazon's AWS platform.

USB 4—or USB4, as it’s officially branded—is on the tech horizon, and like <a href="https://lifehacker.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-wifi-6e-1843050220">WiFi 6E</a> or <a href="https://lifehacker.com/5g-phones-are-coming-soon-but-you-should-wait-to-buy-o-1831406561">mobile 5G</a>, you probably have plenty of questions about what the new USB standard means for your many devices. So, let’s take a quick look at everything we know about the upcoming USB4.<br />It’s a big speed and bandwidth upgrade<br /><br />USB4 is purported to be twice as fast as the current USB 3.2 standard (20Gbps), which means it’ll support up to 40Gbps speeds as a maximum in most instances. (Your actual speeds will obviously vary depending on what devices you’re using.)<br /><br />USB cables use two “lanes” to send and receive signals from connected devices. However, some devices will be able to change a USB4 cable’s to single-direction delivery. For example, DisplayPort 2.0's “<a href="https://www.engadget.com/usb-4-displayport2-8k-hdr-133040492.html">Alt mode</a>” will increase the available signal bandwidth to 80Gbps, high enough to support 8K HDR video monitors and other high-speed devices over USB4. The two-lane delivery also means some USB4 devices will support Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 standard, though it’s up to manufacturers on that one.<br /><br />Speaking of bigger bandwidth allocations, USB4 also supports the USB PD charging standard, which means your smartphones and other devices will be able to charge much faster over USB4—<a href="https://lifehacker.com/what-is-usb-fast-charging-and-why-does-it-matter-for-yo-1841936865">provided they’re built to support fast charging</a>, that is.<br /><br />USB4 devices can support three maximum speeds: 10Gbps, 20Gbps, and 40Gbps. In other words, make sure you’re scanning a device’s specs to get a sense of its maximum supported speeds if that’s what is most important to you when you’re buying, say, a new laptop (or hub).<br /><br />And there’s one more speed-related feature that really puts the feather in USB4's cap, as <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/news/usb-4-faq,38766.html">Tom’s Hardware</a> describes:<br /><br /><br />A big part of the USB 4 spec is the ability to dynamically adjust the amount of resources that are available when you are sending both video and data over the same connection. So, let’s say that you have USB 4 with a 40 Gbps maximum and you’re outputting to a 4K monitor while copying a ton of files from an external SSD. And let’s stipulate that the video feed needs about 12.5 Gbps. In that case, USB 4 would allocate the remaining 27.5 Mbps to your backup drive.<br />USB4 will be backward compatible<br /><br />USB4 cables will use Type-C connectors, which is the flat, rounded port found on most <a href="https://lifehacker.com/are-you-charging-your-macbook-on-the-wrong-side-1843045306">smartphones and laptops these days</a>.<br /><br />You should be able to plug a USB4 cable into just about any USB Type-C port, but it won’t always function the same way. For example, a USB4 cable will experience a drop in speed when plugged into an older port, while older USB Type-C cables plugged in USB4B 4.0 port will use their highest-possible transfer speed by default (but can’t reach the same speeds as a USB4 cable).<br /><br />Similarly, you may need and an adapter to use USB4 cables with USB Type-A ports, which the kind you usually see on PCs.<br />Why “USB4?”<br /><br /><a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/news/usb-4-faq,38766.html">According to USB Promoter Group CEO</a> Brad Saunders, the “USB4" branding was chosen to avoid confusion caused by the incremental upgrades of previous USB standards, i.e. “USB 3.1” and “USB 3.2.” It’s also possible that USB4 may be re-branded, or that further upgrades—what would’ve otherwise been “USB 4.1,” for example—will see more definitive naming differences despite still technically being “USB4.”<br />When will USB4 show up?<br /><br />The first USB4 cables and devices are expected to arrive around late-2020, but 2021 is probably more likely at this point. Part of this is because USB4 will cost more than older types of USB to manufacture. And we’re kind of in the middle of a global manufacturing shutdown/slowness/Hell, which doesn’t help speed up USB4's launch at all.<br /><br />Source: <a href="https://lifehacker.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-usb-4-1843246620">https://lifehacker.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-usb-4-1843246620</a><br />PC, Music, & Movie Geekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14180974050375752815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31901250.post-85219735086466744972020-01-23T19:39:00.000-05:002020-01-23T19:39:19.464-05:00Fix: The USB Disk Is Write Protected in Windows 10/8/7<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: ProximaNovaRegular, Arial, Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Receive error "the disk is write protected" when trying to format a removable disk (such as USB flash drive, SD card, CD, or pen drive)? The disk is write protected error in Windows 10/8/7 that stops operation of formatting, writing data, i.e. copy & paste files to the generic USB stick. It's imperative to remove write protection on the drive.

<br /><br />For whatever reason, the option to format USB drives larger than 32GB with the FAT32 file system isn’t present in <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/317762/how-to-erase-and-format-a-drive-in-windows/">the regular Windows format tool</a>. Here’s how to get around that.<br />
<br />
<strong>RELATED:</strong> <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/73178/what-file-system-should-i-use-for-my-usb-drive/"><strong><em>What File System Should I Use for My USB Drive?</em></strong></a><br />
<br />
FAT32 is a <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/73178/what-file-system-should-i-use-for-my-usb-drive/">solid file system for external drives</a>,
so long as you don’t plan to use files over 4GB in size. If you do need
those larger file sizes, you’ll need to stick with something like <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/235596/whats-the-difference-between-fat32-exfat-and-ntfs/">NTFS or exFAT</a>.
The advantage to using FAT32 is portability. Every major operating
system and most devices support it, making it great for drives you need
to access from different systems. Specifications put out by
manufacturers on file systems as they pertain to drive size created the
myth that FAT32 can only be used to format drives between 2 GB and 32
GB, and that is likely why native tools on Windows—and other
systems—have that limit. The truth is that FAT32 has a theoretical
volume size limit of 16 TB, with a current practical limit of about 8
TB—plenty for most USB drives.<br />
We’re going to show you two ways to format larger USB drives with
FAT32. One method uses PowerShell (or the Command Prompt), the other a
free, third-party tool.<br />

The easiest way to format larger USB drives with FAT32—if you’re willing to download a free, third party app—is to use the <a href="http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm">GUI version of FAT32 Format</a> by Ridgecrop Consultants (click the screenshot on that page to download the app). It’s a <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/290358/what-is-a-portable-app-and-why-does-it-matter/">portable app</a>, so you won’t need to install anything. Just run the executable file.<br />
In the “FAT32 Format” window, select the drive to format and type a volume label if you want to. Select the “<a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/179920/what-is-the-difference-between-a-quick-and-full-format/">Quick Format</a>” option, and then click the “Start” button.<br /><br /><br />

<br />Formatting with this tool is much quicker than the command line
method described in the next section. This tool took a few seconds to
format our 64GB USB drive that took us over an hour in PowerShell.<br />
One thing to note here: you’ll need to close any open File Explorer
windows before you format the drive. If you don’t, the tool will
interpret the drive as being used by another app and formatting will
fail. If this happens to you, just close the File Explorer windows and
try again. No need to relaunch the tool or anything.<br />
<h2>
Format Large USB Drives with FAT32 by Using PowerShell</h2>
You can format USB drives larger than 32GB with FAT32 by using the <code>format</code>
command in PowerShell or Command Prompt—the command uses the same
syntax in both tools. The downside to doing this is that it can take a
long time. Formatting our 64GB USB drive took almost over an hour, and
we’ve heard some people complain that it can take many hours for bigger
drives. Aside from the length of time, you also won’t know if formatting
failed—unlikely but possible—until the process is done.<br />
Still, if you don’t want to—or can’t—download a third-party app, using the <code>format</code>
command is pretty straightforward. Open PowerShell with administrative
privileges by hitting Windows+X on your keyboard, and then selecting
“PowerShell (Admin)” from the Power User menu.<br />
<br />

<br />At the PowerShell prompt, type the following command (replacing <code>X:</code> with whatever drive letter you want to format), and then hit Enter:<br /><br />
<pre><span style="font-size: large;">format /FS:FAT32 X:</span></pre>

This article you can find methods to restore USB drive back to full
capacity so that you can make use of lost or unallocated disk space of
USB drives. USB drive not showing correct capacity is one of the common
issues that may happen to USB disks, if you are facing same problem,
then you are at the right place. Keep reading and you can find
step-by-step solutions to restore USB drive.<br />
<h1>
<span style="color: blue;">Issue overview</span></h1>
It’s really annoying to be unable to use all USB drive’s storage, but
this issue just happens due to various reasons. Thus we should get a
rough idea about this issue at least. USB storage devices such as
external HDD, USB flash drive, pen drive, memory card, etc, play
important role in daily lives. Likewise hard drive, USB disks come with
different size, ranging 215 MB to 1TB. We can store large amount of data
on SD card or flash drive so that we can take them to anywhere without
difficulty. It’s possible that a 64GB flash drive shows as 54MB only.
That does not necessarily mean you have to buy a new one, as the
capacity can be restored in many cases.<br />
Let’s take a close look at a real cause about this issue:<br />
<em>“Lately I made a bootable USB drive on a USB flash drive for
crashed laptop. I fixed the system problem successfully but a new
problem arose in the flash drive. The problem is that the USB’s capacity
shrank. The flash drive used to have 16GB storages, but it is 2.19MB in
Windows Explorer only after it is made as a bootable drive. There is
large free space on the flash disk when I checked it in Disk Management.
But I can’t do anything to unallocated space. The size does not change
even though I format the partition. Do you have any idea to restore
capacity? Thanks!”</em><br />
<h1>
<span style="color: blue;">Why doesn’t USB drive show full capacity in Windows?</span></h1>
USB flash drive / SD card/ pen drive not showing full capacity can
happen for several reasons. Let’s see some common reasons together:<br />
<ul>
<li>The USB drive is made to bootable disk. For instance, you burn a
portable operating system on your removable drive, and you may find that
the disk loses capacity. Some system changes the partition of removable
disk when writing booting data.</li>
<li>The USB drive is divided into two or more partition. Unlike hard
drives, USB flash drive or SD card usually have only one partition,
because Windows cannot recognize and access data stored on the second or
other partitions. If there are multiple partitions on a flash disk, you
can only see the first volume in File Explorer. Thus the capacity you
can use is the first partition.</li>
<li>There is unallocated space. We all know that unallocated disk space
cannot be used if there is not partition created on it. The result is
that you can make use of allocated space only. Therefore we can fix the
problem by adding unallocated space to existing partition.</li>
<li>Card reader or host devices are not well suited with the larger
memory card. If you are using a card reader which is compatible with
32GB card at most, but your memory card is 64GB. It might turn or
repartition the memory card to 32GB and the rest capacity won’t show in
Windows.</li>
<li>The disk is physically damaged. If storage device is physically
damaged, the capacity might change. The entire disk size in Disk
Management shrinks or increases largely, or the <a href="http://www.eassos.com/blog/recover-data-from-usb-flash-drive-showing-0-bytes/">USB drive shows 0 bytes</a> if you check its properties. Physical damages cannot be repaired by solutions in this guide.</li>
</ul>
<h1>
<span style="color: blue;">How to restore USB flash drive back to full capacity?</span></h1>
This part provides three solutions to restore USB drive backup to
original capacity. The first method recovers capacity with the help of
command DiskPart. If you feel this approach is difficult to you, you can
try the second and third solutions which utilize a free third-part
tool. Connect the USB drive or SD card to computer and you can try these
resolutions.<br />
<span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Caution</strong></span>: The
first two solutions will completely wipe the entire USB drive in
question, please backup any important files before proceeding. Besides,
please be very careful to select correct before formatting or cleaning
operations, or you might wipe wrong disk by mistake.<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #6b6666;">Solution 1: Restore USB flash disk back to full capacity with DiskPart</span></h2>
<span style="color: grey;"><strong>Step 1</strong></span>: Run
Command Prompt as Administrator. On Windows 8.1 or 10, you can launch it
easily by clicking the Start button and selecting option “Command
Prompt (Admin)”. If you are using Windows 7, you should click the Start
button and enter cmd in the search box; then right-click “cmd.exe” to
select “Run as Administrator”<br />
<span style="color: grey;"><strong>Step 2</strong></span>: Type the following command in the Command Prompt windows and hit Enter key.<br />
<pre>diskpart</pre>
<span style="color: grey;"><strong>Step 3</strong></span>: Type
list disk command so that diskpart lists all disks connected to your
computer, and the command should be followed by pressing Enter.<br />
<pre> list disk</pre>
<span style="color: grey;"><strong>Step 4</strong></span>: Execute following command to select the USB disk you want to restore capacity.<br />
<pre> select disk #</pre>
Be very careful here! # is the disk number of your USB drive, You
should replace # with the correct disk number. Be sure you select the
correct drive, as all the rest actions will be performed on the selected
disk, such as format the disk. If you select the wrong disk, you’ll
lose all data stored on that disk.<br />
<span style="color: grey;"><strong>Step 5</strong></span>: Type the follow command and press Enter<br />
<pre>clean</pre>
<span style="color: grey;"><strong>Step 6</strong></span>: Create a new partition on the USB drive after DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk.<br />
<pre> create partition primary</pre>
<img class="size-medium aligncenter" height="431" src="http://www.eassos.com/how-to/images/add-unallocated-space-to-partition-06.png" width="581" /><br />
<span style="color: grey;"><strong>Step 7</strong></span>: The following command formats the newly created partition to FAT32 file system.<br />
<pre> format fs=fat32 quick</pre>
Now you can open Windows Explorer to check if the USB drive is restored to full capacity.<br />
<h2>

</div>
<br />
Creating a flowchart might be a very easy task for some. And if you
have the time to spare, you can make a functional flowchart that’s also
gorgeous. But do you really have that extra time to build a flowchart
from a blank canvas?<br />
These templates for Microsoft Office let you
create a flowchart quickly in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Whether for a
business purpose or a personal one, you will be off to a great start
with these handy and easily editable options.<br />
<h2>
Why Use a Flowchart?</h2>
If
you need to document or explain a process or procedure, there is no
better way than with a visual. Rather than explaining steps in a
document, a flowchart gives a clear picture that is easy to follow. It
can be used in most any business industry, as well as your personal
life.<br />
In addition, it can aid in communication between groups. As described in <a href="http://smallbusiness.chron.com/use-flowchart-43367.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">the small business section of Chron.com</a>, a Houston-based newspaper:<br />
<blockquote>
“The purpose of flowcharts are to communicate how a process works or should work without any confusing technical jargon.”</blockquote>

<a href="http://www.mywordtemplates.org/diagram/template1436.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Process Flowchart</a></h3>
A
basic process flowchart is used most often and normally what people
think of when you say “flowchart.” This template from
MyWordTemplates.org gives you a complete process flow that you simply
edit to fit your needs. It is suitable for most any type of process
flow.<br />

<a href="http://www.mywordtemplates.org/diagram/template1444.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Swimlane Flowchart</a></h3>
If
you want a flowchart that displays a process, but also divides the
steps into categories, then you need a swimlane (or swim lane)
flowchart. As you can see in the screenshot below, the categories appear
between parallel lines (lanes).<br />
This type of flowchart template,
also from MyWordTemplates.org, is commonly used for business processes
that involve more than one department.<br />

<h2>
The Best Flowcharts for Microsoft PowerPoint</h2>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
<a href="https://slidehunter.com/powerpoint-templates/data-flow-powerpoint-template/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Data Flow PowerPoint Template</a></h3>
Maybe you would like to create your flowchart in PowerPoint for a presentation or because of simple preference.<br />
This
free PowerPoint flowchart template from SlideHunter.com includes three
different formats, each on its own slide. Even though they are called
“data flow” templates, you can use them for process flows as well.<br />
<b>Format 1</b><br />
The first flowchart format is a useful one for a decision-making process. Just pop your question into the red circle.<br />
<img alt="data flowchart diagram powerpoint" class="aligncenter lazy-load" data-loaded="true" data-src="//static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DataFlowchartDiagram_Slide1-PowerPoint.jpg" height="440" src="https://static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DataFlowchartDiagram_Slide1-PowerPoint.jpg" width="670" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Format 2</b><br />
The
second format is ideal for situations where many pieces must be
obtained or completed before a process can begin. You can also reverse
it to start with the red circle and expand it from there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="data flowchart diagram powerpoint" class="aligncenter lazy-load" data-loaded="true" data-src="//static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DataFlowchartDiagram_Slide2-PowerPoint.jpg" height="508" src="https://static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DataFlowchartDiagram_Slide2-PowerPoint.jpg" width="670" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Format 3</b><br />
The third PowerPoint flowchart format is helpful when you want to show a simple process without a decision-based premise.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="data flowchart diagram powerpoint" class="aligncenter lazy-load" data-loaded="true" data-src="//static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DataFlowchartDiagram_Slide3-PowerPoint.jpg" height="492" src="https://static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DataFlowchartDiagram_Slide3-PowerPoint.jpg" width="670" /><br />

<h3>
<a href="https://slidehunter.com/powerpoint-templates/process-flow-diagram-template-for-powerpoint/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Process Diagram</a></h3>
Another
SlideHunter.com template for PowerPoint with two options is this
process diagram. The only difference between the two slides is that one
uses colors while the other is gray. You can also check out the third
slide for the clipart used, making it easy to copy and paste into
another slide if needed.<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
Editing the Flowchart Templates</h2>
Since each template is used in a Microsoft Office application, you can make your changes to all of them using the same actions.<br />
<ul>
<li>You can change the color by selecting the shape, right-clicking to open the popup, and then choosing your color from the <b>Fill</b> option.</li>
<li>You can edit the text by clicking on and then inside the shapes.</li>
<li>You can remove objects by selecting them and clicking the <b>Delete</b> button.</li>
<li>You can add similar objects by selecting them and using a copy/paste action.</li>
<li>You can add new objects by clicking <b>Insert</b> > <b>Shapes</b> and then making your selection.</li>
<li>You can move an object by selecting it and when the four-sided arrow appears, drag it to the new spot.</li>
</ul>
