Tech life upgrade: Microsoft Quick Assist
Microsoft Quick Assist: I’ll bet you don’t know this tool’s built right into Windows 10 and 11. It makes it easy to share your screen with someone remotely, aka no installations needed (love that!). This is perfect in case you ever need to help someone — or get help from someone — on your PC. Steps here!
Your PC’s monitor went blank: Before you hold down the power button, hit the Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B. This tells your computer, “Hey, the display is messed up. Can you fix it?” Just like that, this key combo will refresh or reset your graphics driver.
📁 Use a Mac? Batch-rename your files in Finder. This is handy for organizing photos or documents where consistent naming is important. Select all the files you want to rename, right-click and choose Rename [number] Items. A window will pop up, offering options to replace text, add text or completely format the names. Done!
Free smiles: Check out Explore.org’s beluga cam. That smile is so dang cute! They have live feeds of other animals and places, too. There’s a bald eagle cam, an aurora borealis cam, a cat rescue cam and lots more.
LinkedIn upgrade: To stand out, upload your resume (go to Jobs > Application settings) and select “yes” to Share your resume data with recruits. Fill out your career history and add as much as possible to the “Skills” section. If you’re hiring, use my link to post a job for free.*
