By default, Microsoft Word orients its pages in portrait view. While this works fine in most situations, you may have a single page that would look better in landscape view. Here are two ways to make one page landscape in Word. Change One Page to Landscape With Page Setup The quickest and easiest way to convert a page from portrait to landscape in Word is to select the content and turn only that page....
Fingerprint readers on phones have made devices more secure and faster to unlock, at least when they work on the first try. If you have trouble unlocking your phone quickly, there are things you can do to improve your device’s fingerprint reader. Biometric identification on phones has come a long way over the last few years, with both Apple and Google building APIs to bring fingerprint scanning to the masses on their respective platforms....

Perhaps you want to place your company logo in the background of a document you’re writing for work, or maybe you need a “confidential” watermark on a document containing sensitive information. No matter the reason, you can do it easily in Microsoft Word. Placing an Illustration Behind Regular Text An illustration in Word refers to any of the objects you can insert from the “Illustrations” group on Word’s “Insert” tab....
iPhones and iPads are pretty good at recovering automatically when they experience issues. Still, there are times when they need a helping hand. We’ve talked before about some basic troubleshooting steps for when your device won’t power on—performing a hard reset and restoring iOS itself—but the final step on that troubleshooting journey, when nothing else works, is the Device Firmware Update (DFU) mode. Whether you’re jailbreaking, dealing with an expired beta version of iOS, or have just fallen afoul of that latest software update, you might find yourself in a position where your iPhone or iPad refuses to respond....

You can save just the basic HTML or additional assets (like pictures) to completely re-assemble a page without the need for an internet connection. How to Save a Web Page Go ahead and fire up Chrome, and then navigate to a web page that you want to save. Click the menu button, and then click on More Tools > Save Page As....
First, you’ll need to locate and open Shortcuts. If you can’t find it, swipe downward in the middle of your screen with one finger. When a search bar appears, type “Shortcuts,” then tap the Shortcuts app icon that appears. In Shortcuts, tap “Automation” in the menu at the bottom of the screen.

Read on as we show you how. Why Adjust the Version and Use Profiles? By default the Minecraft launcher has one profile.

With the arrival of the iPhone X and its lack of a Home button, Apple had to change the way to handle some relatively common tasks. One of those is taking a screenshot, and the same method has carried over to the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max. Taking a screenshot on an iPhone X, XR, XS, and XS Max is the same combination of button presses no matter which device you own, and we expect that to remain the case for the foreseeable future now that Apple has taken the next step on the company’s long road towards removing the physical Home button altogether....
It’s ideal to have a dedicated machine for your BitTorrent client, so you can seed 24/7. But it’s energy-intensive to leave a full rig powered up and online that often. Enter the Raspberry Pi. Most desktop PCs draw a fair amount of energy—our modest home office server, for example, consumes nearly $200 worth of electricity per year. The Raspberry Pi, on the other hand, is built around a mobile processor and sips energy like a hummingbird....
Outlook includes an accessibility tool called “Read Aloud” that will read an email to you. This is useful for people with vision problems, but also if you prefer to hear a long passage rather than read it. You can even use it to understand how words are pronounced if you’re not sure, making it an ideal tool if you’re working in a non-native language. Here’s how to use it, and how to hide it if you don’t need it....
Rafael Rivera discovered the ads and revealed them on Twitter. There are several variants, but they all invite you to try Word, Excel, or PowerPoint online. There’s an “Open Word” or “Open Office” button that will open Microsoft’s Office web apps in your browser. Screenshot shows 6 experimental variants. vso/tfs id 23834136variants 1-6 pic.twitter.com/TdYOuKkLZc — Rafael Rivera (@WithinRafael) January 20, 2020 While ads in WordPad don’t feel great, they’re not totally crazy....
The biggest change in the new Start menu design is the removal of live tiles. No more automatically updating tiles with information about your email, the weather, or news stories. Live tiles were pioneered in Windows Phone and were one of the platform’s best features, so it would be sad to see Microsoft give up on them. On the other hand, live tiles are underused on Windows 10. They make for sense on a phone’s home screen—how many people are opening their Start menu to read the information on the tiles, especially when so many desktop applications don’t offer live tile support at all?...
Paramount+ is a streaming service, just like Netflix and Disney+, but Showtime has historically been available as both a streaming service and a premium cable channel (or an add-on for other services, like Hulu). Paramount+ costs $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year for the plan with “limited commercial interruptions,” and the Premium plan is $9.99/mo or $99.99/yr. Showtime is $10.99/mo or $99.99/yr. Paramount currently has bundle deal with both services, available in two tiers: “Essential + Showtime” for $7....
Digital cameras have two primary sensor formats: full frame (or 35mm) cameras where the sensor is roughly the same size as a 35mm film frame and crop sensor (or APS-C) cameras where the sensor is just under 2/3 the size. Lenses designed for full frame cameras work on crop sensor cameras, but using crop sensor lenses on full frame cameras is either impossible (Canon) or comes with some serious compromises (Nikon and Sony)....
Of course, you’ll be forgiven for buying an Apple Watch Ultra if you have none of those use-case scenarios in mind. Apple’s choice of accompanying bands shows that the Ultra is designed for the intrepid explorer, the elite endurance athlete, and the wetsuit-clad deep sea divers for whom the standard Apple Watch Series models fall short. Based on Apple’s new bands, style takes a backseat to utility this time around....
If you don’t take your camera on long hikes or multi-hour shoot days, you’ll probably be able to get away with a camera strap that has less padding. But if you travel a lot or regularly trek into the wilderness with your gear, you’ll need something that can take a bit of punishment. Straps made of materials like nylon or leather are durable and have the added benefit of being difficult to cut through, a plus when traveling with a camera/lens combo that costs as much as a small car....
Apple takes a closed approach to its ecosystem, which some users may find restrictive. The boundaries to what you can do on your device are set by Apple, including only installing software from the first-party App Store. The upside to this is that the iPhone enjoys a reputation for being easy to use since Apple designs the software and hardware with the user experience in mind. Apple has been diligent about enforcing a permissions system that puts the user in control of what apps can do....
LED vs. Traditional Christmas Lights: What’s the Difference? Before we dig in, let’s talk about the fundamental difference between traditional and LED Christmas lights because that difference informs everything we discuss. Traditional Christmas lights are tiny incandescent bulbs. If you hold one up to your eye and really study it, you’ll see a teeny tiny filament inside the little glass bulb. It’s just like the much larger filament in a standard incandescent light bulb or even the filament in a powerful movie projector bulb....
If you’ve spent any time reading about photography, you’ve probably come across reverential mentions of Leica cameras and other “rangefinders” used by a lot of great street photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson in the mid-20th century. I know I was confused when I first heard about them since they aren’t really around anymore, so here’s what they are. The Original Mirrorless Cameras Rangefinders are the original mirrorless cameras. They were popular with street photographers because they were a lot smaller and more unobtrusive than the bulky film SLR cameras available at the time....
