Sometimes the best advice is precisely the simplest<\/strong>, we know that. We also know that everyone gets happy when he meets a new cool trick to solve simple things<\/strong>. And we also know that no matter how well we know an application or a program, there is almost always some shortcut that we never learned. <\/strong>The same goes for hardware: we can use devices every day<\/strong> unaware of its useful quirks that usually they are at hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today we spend a lot of time using the technology around us<\/strong>especially if one works from home. But there’s a good chance you’re unknowingly doing things \u00abthe hard way,\u00bb when you could be taking shortcuts for free.<\/p>\n

These are some of technology tips, tricks and shortcuts<\/strong> that will change your life:<\/p>\n

Connect a USB the right way \u00abfirst time\u00bb <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

They say it’s one of the most ridiculous things in the world because it happens to all of us, is always wrong the first time<\/strong> that we connect the USB. And while connecting a USB cable the right way feels like a no-brainer, it is not.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, Why do we get it wrong on the first try so often?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the secret:<\/strong> grab any USB cable lying around your house. See that symbol on the side?<\/strong> It’s not just about branding or decoration. That symbol will point up if you’re connecting horizontally and if you’re connecting a cable vertically, the USB symbol will be facing you. Now you know.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Reopen a closed browser tab<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Happens all the time.<\/strong> You have a dozen tabs open in the browser and you accidentally close the wrong one.<\/p>\n

You can open your browser history and reopen the tab from there, that’s right, but it takes time<\/strong>so the easiest thing is to do it by pressing three keys:<\/strong><\/p>\n

press Ctrl + Shift + T <\/strong>on your PC or Command + Shift + T <\/strong>on your Mac to automatically reopen the tab you just closed.<\/p>\n

easier, impossible<\/strong><\/p>\n

Share a YouTube video in a precise second<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Let’s say you want to show something that happened at 10:03 in a video that’s 20:00 minutes long to send to someone, but you want to save the person from having to watch the entire video. Well, it can be done.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

If you see something in a YouTube video that you want to share at a particular point, you can get a link that takes people who see it directly to that moment.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

Open the video and pause it at the moment you want to share. Click the button Share<\/strong> below the video. Search one checkbox below the link<\/strong>. It will automatically display the time currently has the video stopped.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can stick to this time that appears or choose another. Copy the link and share it on your favorite social networks or email it to a friend.<\/strong> When someone opens the link, the YouTube video will automatically jump to the point you chose.

Use your voice in Google Docs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

We use the text dictation option on the phone to dictate messages or even emails, but did you know you can do the same on Google Docs<\/strong>? It’s free and works surprisingly well. And you can save time on writing long articles, or annotations, or homework.<\/p>\n

How to do it?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

Open a new document in Google Docs<\/strong>then enable voice dictation in the menu Tools<\/strong>. Then she starts dictating. Voice typing also recognizes commands like ‘comma’, ‘period’ and ‘new paragraph’.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Download movies on Disney Plus to watch offline<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Every streaming service has a different policy for downloading video content and watching it offline<\/strong>. Netflix was a big hurdle until 2016. But Disney Plus enabled this option immediately<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n

How to download the movie on Disney Plus?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

The download icon is located on the bottom of the menu. <\/strong>With the Disney Plus app, you can also download as many titles as you can fit on your hard drive.\n<\/p>\n

Crop a screenshot<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Screenshots are a common practice, but it often captures more than you need. Revealing too much of your screen in a single image can be threatening your security<\/strong>. Instead, you can take a screenshot with precise cropping, so include only what you want.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a Mac<\/strong>press Command + Shift + 5 <\/strong>and a rectangle will appear, which you can manipulate as much as you want.<\/p>\n

In Windows 10<\/strong>go to Start, enter the search bar and type Snipping Tool<\/strong>. This will give you a similar box that you can drag to any shape on your screen.\n<\/p>\n

Search WhatsApp chats<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Messages accumulate over time, regardless of the platform you use. Sometimes we need to find something specific, funny, or work, and we need to do it as fast as possible.\n<\/p>\n

WhatsApp may be the most downloaded app of the decade, but many users are unaware that you can search your messages<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For versions of iOS,<\/strong> there is a search bar; for Android<\/strong>there’s a icon<\/strong> of search<\/strong>. Either way, find words unique to a specific conversation in order to narrow down the exact message you’re looking for.\n<\/p>\n
