Now you are somewhere else virtually, without having to uproot yourself and your cat to a different country to watch every episode of some Korean soap opera you’ve read so much about or rewatch Friends on Netflix Switzerland, despite its removal from Netflix in the U....

Inside macOS’s Preferences menu, you’ll find nine options for hot corners: start the screensaver, lock the screen, launch Mission Control, and so on. As the name suggests, these actions are assignable to one of four corners of your screen; simply move the mouse to that corner to activate hot corners. Personally, I only use two of the four hot corner options, and I like them at the bottom of the screen where I’m less likely to activate them accidentally....

Some have said it’s tedious to click the new “More options” menu to get some of the same functionality that Windows 10 had with fewer clicks. Some users are also complaining about the fact that the copy, cut, paste, rename, and other menu options have been replaced with icons....

While a giant leap forward for screenshots on Windows devices, even Snipping Tool falls short in one key area that I’d never knew I needed, until I actually needed it; I couldn’t capture the mouse cursor. Here’s the roundabout fix I came up with so that I can get that pesky mouse cursor in the image, when required. Of course, you can also use third-party tools to do the same thing – or record the screen, cursor included – but for me, this isn’t something I’ll need that often....

Instead, you should opt for copy and pasting into new pages and deleting old ones. While this seems like the same amount of work, you’re actually saving yourself a significant amount of time in fixing formatting that breaks when you paste new text over older pages. By creating new pages where you want them, you can then view all of the text in the order you had intended, deleting old pages you no longer need as you go....

The user interface for settings is an easy way to make these changes, but with ease of use comes ease of messing something up.
