How to Speed Up Your PC's Slowest Component: You

[TJ Hooker]

If my e-mail and its 2FA gets hacked, the only security that is compromised is that e-mail account (since I have several different ones, each with its own password and 2FA) and any service I use that e-mail account for. If "the last password you'll ever need" and its 2FA gets hacked, every service you use is compromised.

If you use the same device for 2FA for every account (most people), then it would seem that if your email and 2FA device are compromised then the attacker effectively has access to most of your accounts (given that most accounts allow a password reset via email).

Dual monitors, best idea ever for pc. After using dual monitors, I'll never go back to single screens, there's far too much flip-flop, alt-tab, go find what you are looking for, copy/paste etc associated with just 1 screen, no matter how good it might be for gaming. This includes ultra-wide as games hog whole screen there too unless you like windows versions. I prefer full-screen.

Make the A+ certification a requirement for office jobs.

"You mean the line going down the page is caused by dirt on the glass?" That's amazing!!!"

Literally had that happen today.

For example I pause writing email because i need to check what i wrote and it isn't on screen after 3 sec. It's horrible. I think that my 10 year old Celeron IS bottlenecking. Even Pentium IV @ 1,7 GHz is faster...

Another shortcut I only found out about in the last couple years that can be really handy:

Windows Key + arrow key

You can snap your current window to either side of the screen using the left and right arrows, while up and down can maximize and un-maximize (or minimize) respectively. It also allows you to snap a window to the inside edge(s) of a multi monitor setup, something I don't know how to do any other way.

What a Godlike shortcut!

This is exactly I was looking for. Since I have done troubleshooting in my printer with the methods from https://www.epsonsupport247.com/how-to-fix-epson-printers-common-problems-by-epson-printer-tech-support/ which was connected to my computer, has made my computer slow. I don't know why this has happened which was not suppose to happen.

After my curiosity overcame my initial snort of indignation, I had some teachable moments. Some things I was already aware of. There were many others that I was not. And some were attributes germane to Windows 10 users. In any event, thank you
