I wish they were all back there on every reboot. Browser session restores help me to some extent. Besides, there is a way to get back explorer windows. How about programs and the state of their processes? We have told you about an application previously that helps you reload the programs (not the work session though). Today, we are set to cover the remaining piece. We are going to look at a cloud based service, Cupcloud....

If you’re not aware already, Dashlane is a password manager that competes with the likes of 1Password and LastPass. It’s actually my preferred password manager because of its absolutely stellar UI and functionality. But interestingly enough, it has agreed to let Open YOLO work with any password manager so you don’t have to use Dashlane to reap the benefits of the API. Security Now you’re probably thinking about security. Do all these Android apps who use this API to log me in suddenly get access to my passwords?...

There are a great number of security issues that plague the world of Smart Home assistants. Apart from storing your voice recordings there are added disadvantages that range from someone else using your smart home assistant to order things to a hacker listening to your confidential talks and gaining access to data stored on your smart assistant servers.

This time though, we’ll take a look at what is easily the best free source to learn a new language on the go: the Duolingo app for iPhone (available on Android as well). Let’s take a better look at it. Using Duolingo Once you start the app, Duolingo lets you select the language you want to learn or practice. Only Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese are supported for now, though, which is definitely less than the service’s web counterpart....

What’s Canva, you ask? It’s like Photoshop but free, on the web, and incredibly easy to use. Of course, it’s not really Photoshop but it brings down the barrier of entry for the most common features. Canva is designed to create quick and awesome shareable posts that integrate images with text in an interesting way. Get a background or choose something premade from Canva, add text, edit it, make it pretty, and it’s ready to be shared with the world....

Those file managers differ depending on the make and model of the phone and leave a lot to be desired. The ES File Explorer has been the poster child of the file manager apps for a while until Google Files Go launched. Since then, the game has changed. What makes Google Files Go so popular? Does it have what it takes to beat a veteran like ES File Explorer? Let’s find out....

I tried a couple of apps that came highly recommended by the Play Store but all I got was a force close message a couple of times. Finally, after refining my search I got a perfect solution for my problem. DiskDigger for Android is a tiny app that can easily restore accidentally deleted photos (JPEG and PNG) on a rooted Android device. Yeah, well, the phone needs to be a rooted one....

Of course, all touchpads provide edge horizontal and vertical scrolling but when compared to two finger scrolling, they are usually not that smooth. Moreover, it was not only about scrolling. It was about all the multi-touch gestures like swiping photos left and right with three fingers, two finger tap on the touch pad to open the right-click context menu and much more. Touchpad Gestures on Windows Like every other human, I wanted the grass on my side to be greener as well and after some research I did get the feature to work on my Windows....

Though I have devised ways to quickly get to a favorite folder and even added few to the Favorites section on the navigation pane, I would love to have it (Videos link) integrated in to the Start menu as well. Here’s how I did it. Step 1: Right-click on the Start menu aka orb icon and go to Properties. That opens the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog. Step 2: On the Start Menu tab click on the Customize button....

But, is it really a toned down version of the original app? If so, what features are missing and what’s new? That’s what we intend to find out in this post by comparing Gmail and Gmail Go in detail. The new lightweight app is part of the Go gang that includes apps like YouTube Go, Google Go, Gboard Go and even Assistant Go. Usually, the Go apps have some unique features exclusive to them....

However, Google Photos is not the perfect app when it comes to functionality, and you are bound to run into problems where your photos just won’t back up. Thankfully, there are several known reasons why the app may hit a snag. So without any further ado, let’s go over them and see what you can do to get those photos backed up safely to the cloud. Switch to Wi-Fi The most common reason that prevents Google Photos from uploading your photos occurs due to cellular data....

Password Security and Two-Factor Authentication We’ve covered how to setup two-step aka two-factor authentication or 2FA before in this post. The purpose of an audit is to make sure it works properly. If you use your Dropbox password on other websites, now is the time to change it. If you keep important stuff in Dropbox (like your 1Password database), change your password if it’s been more than six months. Regularly changing your password keeps your information secure in case of a breach....

Thankfully, famous Cydia developer Filippo Bigarella has developed a small, simple app named StifleStand that helps iOS device owners who never use Newsstand to hide it within another folder. And there’s no need to jailbreak your iOS 6 for this. You can download StifleStand in both its Windows and Mac version from this website. Once you do, install it. Now, to hide the Newsstand app, open StifleStand and plug in your iOS device until the app recognizes it....

Well, time for another question. What is weight? How do we define how heavy something is? Well, let’s jump back to the weight of the iPhone; 138 grams. It turns out that the gram is a unit of mass and not weight. Mass can be defined as the amount of matter something is made up of. Weight is a quantity directly related to mass but dependent on gravity. But back to the task at hand....

skins that came along. They were all the rage those days. I used to change them frequently and enjoy the new look and feel. I am sure many of you can relate to this. However, most of us have moved on leaving that child in us behind. Though we still like beautifying our desktops with widgets and themes, I don’t see new content on the internet these days on media player skins....

Dropbox ? The digital age is merging with the ‘cloud’ age, and unlike other changes, this is a pleasant one. It makes sense to use Dropbox especially when syncing files to and fro with your own computer is so easy. But as we have seen over the months, it is not necessary that your computer be a partner in the sync. You can directly save files from the web to Dropbox; automatically send Gmail attachments to Dropbox; or even use Dropbox to upload photos to Facebook....

In his OS X 10.5 Leopard review, John Siracusa said: Time Machine: The Easiest Way to Backup OS X bundles a backup utility called Time Machine. It’s a basic app that creates a copy of everything that’s on your mac on an external (or internal, but what’s the point in doing that?) hard drive. In a nutshell, this means that if you could snap your fingers and make one Mac user’s main hard drive disappear, there’s a 96 percent chance that you just destroyed files that are completely unrecoverable....

Slack doesn’t have a built-in method to remove all the files that you’ve shared. However, there is a neat workaround which lets you do that.
