This Week’s Tip or Trick

This week’s top tech tip is to reboot your computer at least once a week. It clears out temporary system memory, finishes pending background updates, and keeps your device running fast. 
I agree that a weekly restart solves many minor performance issues before they turn into bigger problems. 
Quick Weekly Habits
  • Restart regularly: Pick a natural break at the end of your workday to let your computer clear its cache and update.

Useful Keyboard Shortcuts

    Q:  All of a sudden, there’s a new way to compose an email: a little box comes up with a ‘new message,’ and when I click on that, I can create the new email. And if I want to insert pictures in the email, when I click on the pictures, there is no ‘insert’ box to click on. My computer is up to date. Any idea what is going on here?

    A: Janet’s problem is a combination of over-zooming and text size too large

    What are some downsides of over-zooming my browser?

    Over-zooming your web browser reduces visible screen space, forces horizontal scrolling, and breaks responsive website layouts. Elements overlap, text boxes misalign, and images or icons can become blurry or distorted as pixels stretch beyond their natural resolution. 
    Layout and Visual Issues
    • Horizontal scrolling: Content spills past the edge of your monitor, forcing you to scroll side-to-side to read sentences.
    • Broken design: Navigation bars, menus, and sidebars drop out of place or stack awkwardly on top of each other.
    • Pixel distortion: High zoom levels force the browser to stretch images and fine lines, making graphics look fuzzy or pixelated.
      Usability and Navigation Problems
      • Lost screen space: Huge text leaves very little room on the page, meaning you must scroll up and down constantly.
      • Hidden elements: Dropdown menus, tooltips, or pop-up boxes can move off-screen where you cannot click them.
      • Misaligned forms: Text boxes, submit buttons, and checkboxes can shift away from their labels.
        You can quickly reset your zoom to normal (100%) by pressing Ctrl + 0 on Windows or Cmd + 0 on Mac.

        Setting text size in my Chrome browser

        To change the text size in Google Chrome on a computer, click the three-dot menu at the top right, select Settings, click Appearance on the left, and then adjust the Page zoom or Font size dropdown menus to your preferred level.
        You can also use quick keyboard shortcuts by pressing Ctrl and + to zoom in or Ctrl and - to zoom out (Cmd and +/- on a Mac).
