Windows 10 Explorer Search A Disaster

Windows 10 Explorer Search A Disaster I was hoping to pile all my daily life and files, even install files into a dated archive using file tags and date structure within the filename itself, while using "Saved Searches" as dynamic category management. I can't find things again if I use Videos for videos, Music or music, documents for pdfs and text files, and so forth. Classifying documents for their "type" is a technique that changes over time. With Video and Music folders where does someone put audio books? I find the typical user media layout rather limited, and lacking any long term storage organization. When I want to find something, I shouldn't have to search multiple times in different spots: Is it in the closet? Is it in the kitchen? Is it in the bathroom? Maybe it's under the bed. I don't have time for this. One box, one search, to keep my sanity: Just click a field and be done! Computers are supposed to be our friend and save us time, righ...

AMD Radeon Drive/Software Using High CPU While Doing Nothing

How to get the Radeon driver/software to stop using so much CPU, is to go into your Videos folder and create a new folder called "Radeon ReLive". Then in Task Manager End the Radeon Driver task, and then relaunch Radeon Software from the Start Menu. Notice that the Radeon Driver will no longer consume so much processor usage. It is a bug that AMD has not fixed for some time. Source: https://community.amd.com/thread/246292

How to search contents of files on Windows 10 and Android

Windows 10 (no third party apps) Whenever we do a search on our gadgets and computers, we hope to find what we're looking for. The problem is that most searches only look at the filenames. So if you're anything like me, and are trying to find that file, but never gave it an appropriate name, the chances of finding it again is slim to none. What we need is a search within the file rather than the name of that file. I found this cool webpage that tells how to switch Windows 10 search from filename to filename with file contents. https://www.groovypost.com/howto/search-through-file-contents-windows-10/ . Android On Android 6.0 OS, I've been using AndroSearch free, though the paid version takes away the limitations to the search results. Alternatives? If you have alternative methods, please do post! 

Pros and Cons of PLDT Home Prepaid WiFi

The Pros of PLDT Home Prepaid WIFI by JJD Peterson After getting PLDT Home Prepaid Wifi promo, I've been quite satisfied with their service rates, even with two bars of signal. Right now we're utilizing their 'FAMLOAD 199' promo with 24GB of data for 7 days. The normal promo is 12GB, while a 12GB bonus holiday promo carries some extra life into January, which I hope becomes permanent. However, over the last couple of weeks, I've noticed a bottleneck in the loading process that could alter the user's experience, and even possibly chase away future business. The Cons of PLDT Home Prepaid WIFI myPLDT SMART app fails to communicate with the server For the past two or more weeks of using SMART's PLDT Pre-paid Home WIFI, I've noticed that their app for checking data consumption and registering new Internet promos works half of the time. Many times the Android app gives errors such as "Invalid Phone Number", or "Cannot Reach Server....

Soft Keyboard Design Idea

Image
This is a soft keyboard design idea My fingers are fairly large and the use of onscreen keyboards has been a little challenging at times. Most onscreen soft keyboards have multiple equal height rows of letters, symbols, and numbers. I noticed in my typing on these soft keyboards, that my error is increased on the lower rows, while on the upper rows the error is decreased. After thinking about it a while, it dawned on me that because my thumbs are wide, the lower rows will need taller heights, while the upper rows will need wider widths. If you notice in the first picture, my thumbs over the lower rows of the keyboard are too large for the height. While in the second picture, with my thumbs in the upper rows, you can see that my thumbs are wider. This is all due to the radial angle of my thumbs, and probably most human thumbs in general. In the upper rows, the error is from side to side buttons being unintentionally tapped, while in the lower rows upper and lower...
