Logitech makes some of the best keyboards and mice around, and you might be familiar with the company’s RGB-packed gaming products. These new peripherals are packed with color, but we are not talking about lights.
We have used Logitech products for years and they work as advertised. We love the backlit K800 keyboard as well as the MX Master 3 mouse.
Logitech has announced a range of new colors for a bunch of its products, including the K580/K585 Slim Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard, MK470 Slim Combo, POP Keys, and POP Mouse. These products have been out for some time, but you can now buy them in Mist, a grayish color with a hint of sand, and Cosmos, a combination of lavender and mystic purples. Refer to the below images:
K585 Keyboard with iPhone holderK470 Keyboard
Logitech says they are a perfect addition to any Gen Z or Millennial desk, although we would argue they are a great choice for anyone looking to add a splash of color to their desk. The K585 is a multi-device Bluetooth keyboard with a slot for a phone or tablet, and the MK470 is a combo package of a slim Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The POP Keys is a bright and fun keyboard with rounded keys and customizable emoji keys, while the matching POP Mouse is a normal Bluetooth mouse but with unique color designs. See the below image:
POP Keys in many colorsPOP Mouse in many colors
You can now buy these new keyboards, in addition to all previous keyboards (which are already pretty neat in their own right) on Logitech’s website.

For troubleshooting, testing, or other similar purposes, you may need to turn off your Windows 11 or Windows 10’s firewall. It’s easy to disable this feature on your PC.
For troubleshooting, testing, or other similar purposes, you may need to turn off your Windows 11 or Windows 10’s firewall. It’s easy to disable this feature on your PC. Let’s explore this feature.
This is for Windows 11/10. Screenshots are from Windows 10
Note! The Dilbert comic will be suspended until further notice. Due to racists remarks by the creater of Dilbert, Scott Adams on a talk show, Dilbert has been removed from the Internet and newspapers. We have been following Dilbert for three decades and we thought the comic titted in with the theme of these posts.
Disable Your Firewall Only If You Have To
Turning off Windows’ firewall allows unauthorized network access on your PC. So unless you have a strong reason to disable the feature, you must keep the firewall turned on at all times.
The only times you may need to disable your firewall are when you are troubleshooting an issue, testing an app, or using a third-party firewall on your computer. Even then, if you are disabling the firewall to let an app through your network, add that app to the Firewall Exception list instead of turning the entire feature off.
When you are finished with your task, remember to turn the firewall back on to stay secure.
Turn Off Firewall
On both Windows 11 and 10, you will use the built-in Windows Security app to disable and enable the firewall.
First, launch Windows Security on your PC. Do this by opening the Start menu, searching for Windows Security, then click the app in the search results. Refer to the below image:
Launch Windows Security
Next, in the window that opens, click Firewall & network protection. See the below image:
Launch Firewall & Network Protection option
Now, on the Firewall & network protection page, select your network profile. To disable the firewall for your current profile, you will see Active next to that profile, so click that option. See the following image:
Launch the Private Network (Active) option
Next, in the Microsoft Defender Firewall section, toggle OFF the option. Later, to re-enable the firewall, toggle ON the option. Refer to the below image:
Disable Firewall
Now, select Yes in the User Account Control prompt, and your Windows firewall is now disabled. You may now continue your troubleshooting, testing, or other similar tasks.
Remember to turn the firewall back on when you are finished.

Microsoft continues to double down on its most annoying feature by keeping advertisements inside Windows 10 (and adding even more to Windows 11). Let’s explore how to remove
Microsoft continues to double down on its most annoying feature by keeping advertisements inside Windows 10 (and adding even more to Windows 11). Let’s explore how to remove these ads.
Thankfully, most of these ads have a Settings menu. (The same goes for the ads in Windows 11).
This is for devices running Windows 10. Screenshots are from Windows 10

You may have to check Settings from time to time to ensure everything is still how you want it as Windows updates add more ads. The steps below may not remove everything but should tone things down to some extent.
Remove Ads from Start Menu
First, you can turn these ads off if you head to the:
Settings > Personalization > Start
and toggle OFF the Show suggestions occasionally in the Start option. Refer to the below image:
Remove Start Menu ads
Next, if you have a problem with any of the Live Tiles on your Start screen, some of which are pre-installed junk or trials, you can right-click on the one that’s bugging you, Just hover over the More option, and choose turn Live Tile to OFF. That way, it will merely act as a shortcut to the app. Or you can right-click on it to choose Uninstall to remove the app entirely.
Block Tips and suggestions From Lock Screen
First, to remove these tips and suggestions, head to
Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen
and set your background to Picture or Slideshow. Here, you can then toggle OFF for Get fun facts, tips, and more… See the below image:
Remove Tips and Suggestions ads
Remove Ads From Taskbar and Action Center
First, you can get rid of these ads by going to
Settings > System > Notifications & Actions
and unchecking Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows.
Next, you may also want to untick the Show me the Windows welcome experience… option here, which shows those annoying tours after you update Windows, as well as the Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device…
Now, toggle OFF any manufacturer-installed apps that may be sending them, such as Lenovo Vantage on Lenovo ThinkPads. (You could also uninstall them entirely; just make sure they do not provide some useful features you want, (like updating certain drivers.) See the following image:
Remove Taskbar and Action Center ads
Remove Ads From File Explorer
First, you can get rid of these space-wasting suggestions by clicking
View> Options in File Explorer, then click the View tab in the window that appears.
Next, scroll. down to Show sync provider notifications and uncheck that box. That should prevent ads from showing up in File Explorer again. Refer to the below image:
Remove File Explorer ads
Remove Targeted Advertising
Windows gives you an Advertising ID that it uses to track your interests and serve you more relevant ads within apps. While you are turning OFF all of Windows’ built-in ads, you may want to turn this setting OFF as well.
First, head to
Settings > Privacy > General
and toggle OFF the Let apps use advertising ID…, if you would rather have non-targeted ads. See the below image:
Remove Targeted ads

System Restore lets you restore key Windows system files and Registry settings to a known-good state. Windows automatically creates them in certain situations, but you may want to manually create them before installing hardware drivers or making other major system changes. Let’s explore how to create a System Restore Point.
System Restore lets you restore key Windows system files and Registry settings to a known-good state. Windows automatically creates them in certain situations, but you may want to manually create them before installing hardware drivers or making other major system changes. Let’s explore how to create a System Restore Point.
This is for devices running Windows 11 or 10. Screenshots are from Windows 10

System Restore Point Explained
Windows 11 and 10 include a utility app called System Restore that can repair malfunctioning Windows installations by reverting certain system files and Windows Registry settings to a prior state. It does this by using restore points, which are snapshots of system files and the registry made either automatically or manually before problems arise.
Restore points are stored in a hidden folder called System Volume Information which is located at the root of each drive. Creating a restore point does not make any changes to your system, but restoring it later does. The instructions are the same in each Windows version.
Note: Windows will automatically create System Restore points in certain situations, so you may be able to restore to a previous system state even if you have never manually created one. However, you may want to manually create System Restore points before making major changes to your computer’s settings, installing drives, or installing large applications.
Manually Create a System Restore Point
First, open the Start Menu and type “Restore Point”. In the results that appear, select Create a Restore Point. Refer to the below image:
Accessing the option to Create a Restore Point
Next, the System Properties window will open with the System Protection tab selected. This is the main interface for managing restore points within Windows. Click the Create button toward the bottom of the window. See the below image:
Selecting to Create a Restore Point
Now, type in the name of the restore point. A good rule of thumb is to use a name that identifies why you are making the restore point, such as before a major installation or upgrade. For example “Before Drivers Update”, or “Before OneDrive Installation.”. When you are ready, click Create. See the following image:
Naming your Restore Point
Next, you will see a progress bar, then if all goes well, a message that says The restore point was created successfully. Just click Close. Refer to the below image:
Close the window
After that, you are finished creating the restore point.
Automatically Create a System Restore Point
First, use the same System Protection tab in System Properties. Select the drive you would like to protect, then click Configure. In the window that opens, select Turn on System Protection, then click OK. See the below image:
Enabling Create a Restore Point
When you are done, click OK or close the System Properties window.
Restore a System Restore Point
To restore a System Restore point in Windows 111/10, we will use the same System Protection tab in the instructions above. First, open the Start Menu and type “Restore Point”, then click Create a Restore Point in the results. See the following image:
Accessing the option to Create a Restore Point
Now, in the System Restore window that opens, click Next when you see the introductory information. On the following screen, you will see a list of system restore points available on your PC. Select the one you want to restore and click Next. Refer to the below image:
Note: On this same screen, you can select a restore point and click “Scan For Affected Programs” to see a list of installed apps that will be affected by the restore process. This might help you make a decision about which restore point to choose.
Selecting a Restore Point to restore
Next, you will see a summary screen. Click Finish. See the below image:
Finish creating a Restore Point
Warning: By clicking “Yes” in the next step, you are about to make a permanent change to your system that could make your apps not work properly. System restore replaces your system files with older versions, and that can potentially break things. Only use it if you are recovering from a serious error. Also, you will not be able to use your PC while the system restore process is taking place.
If you are ready to begin the system restore, click Yes on the final warning screen. See the following image:
Confirm the restore
Your system will restart and the restore process will begin. After it’s complete, if everything went well, you will be able to log into Windows and use your PC as normal.

Google Chrome has had a built-in dark theme like Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge since Chrome 74. You can even apply a dark theme to every web page you visit using third-party themes or an extension. Let’s explore this dark mode feature.

Chrome offers a built-in dark mode on Windows 11 and Windows 10. It even makes all of Chrome’s context menus dark, too.
Dark Mode for Windows 11
First, open the Settings app and navigate to:
Personalization > Color
Next, click the drop-down menu to the right of Choose Your Mode and select Dark. Refer to the below image:
Setting Dark Mode for Windows 11
Next, close out the Settings app and launch Google Chrome. Unless you have manually set Chrome’s theme, it will match your system.
Dark Mode for Windows 10
First, head to:
Settings > Personalization > Colors
and select Dark under Choose your default app mode. See the below image:
Setting Dark Mode for Windows 10
Apply a Dark Theme
Chrome supports user-created themes, which you can download from the Chrome Web Store. To give Chrome a dark interface, all you have to do is install a dark theme. Google even provides a helpful collection of editor-selected dark themes. This will give your Chrome browser a dark mode on Windows 7, Linux, Chrome OS, and any operating system without a native dark theme.
Note! Google now offers some official Chrome browser themes, including a “Just Black” dark mode theme. You may want to give that a try.
We recommend Morpheon Dark, which is the most popular dark theme in the Store. Unlike some other dark themes, it provides a decent amount of contrast between your active tab, which is a bit lighter, and your inactive tabs, which are darker.
This theme turns darkens the Tab Bar, Title Bar, Toolbar, and New Tab page. That’s all you can theme in Chrome. You can not make Chrome’sContext Menus or Settings page dark, for example. See the following image:
Apply Morpheon Dark Mode
If you ever want to switch back to Chrome’s default theme you can. Head to:
Menu > Settings
Look for the Themes option under Appearance and then click Reset to Default. Refer to the below image:
Reset to the default theme

You can insert special symbols on Windows by pressing its Alt Code on a numeric keypad. Or, press Windows+. to use the emoji keyboard.
The symbols are a hint to others that something is protected by law. Windows keyboards do not have a dedicated key to quickly insert the symbol. But there’s a keyboard shortcut for the Windows operating system.
This is for Windows. Screenshots are from Windows 10
Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS
Using a Numeric Keyboard
The quickest way to insert a copyright, trademark, or registered symbol in your document is to use its Alt Code.
Note: You can only use this shortcut if your keyboard has a numeric keypad, which is usually to the right of the keyboard. You can not use this shortcut with the numbers at the top of the keyboard.
First, place the cursor where you would like to insert the symbol.
If your Windows PC does not have a numeric keypad, you can use the emoji keyboard instead. Press Windows+. to open the emoji keyboard.
First, tap the symbol icon at top of the emoji keyboard. Then tap the appropriate emoji to insert it. Refer to the below image:
Selecting a symbol from the emoji keyboard
You can also insert many other symbols via the keyboard shortcut or the emoji keyboard.

Radio Garden is available as a web version, and it also has mobile apps for Android and iOS. Its whole premise is that you can listen to several radio stations in many different countries and cities. You will see a bunch of small green dots all across the globe, and those are radio stations that you can tune into immediately. You do not need a login or any kind of subscription. All you need is a device that can access the internet, like your computer or smartphone. Refer to the below image:
South Carolina
You can zoom in or out, move the round circle to any part of the world, or tap a green dot to listen to a station. Check out the Settings menu for options. We suggest you ignore the ads, they take you where you may not want to go; just close them. You can purchase the app for $2.99 (under Settings) to remove the virtual ads.
It’s a lot of fun to play around with the app and learn something new.

NASA launched the James Webb Space Telescope (JWT) in December 2021, giving scientists a fresh look at the universe and giving the rest of us some cool wallpapers. There’s an easy way to check out the latest images and save them for your device’s wallpaper. Let’s explore how.
This is for desktop and mobile devices
MACS NIRCam Image – Dense Cosmic Knot in the Early Universe
Processed images from JWT have been published on Twitter, the telescope’s official website (this is a really cool site), and other locations, but there’s another portal you may not have seen. NASA operates a Flickr site for the telescope, which contains images of engineering tests, control centers, and best of all, space pictures. To see all the photos, you need to signup for Flickr in the top right-hand corner. Refer to the below image for an example of their gallery:
Deep Space – Pillars of Creation – Emerging Galaxies
You can browse through the whole collection in your browser, and saving the full-resolution version of an image is as easy as clicking the Download button (the arrow pointing down). If you have a Flickr account, you can also follow the account to see new pictures. After creating your Flickr account, in the Search box (located in the upper right-hand corner), type in James Web Telescope to view the images.
In the 32-year run (and counting) of the Hubble Space Telescope is any indication, the JWT should continue giving us fantastic images for years to come.

The SendTo menu in Windows has been a useful feature for a long time. It may be buried in the right-click context menu in File Explorer, but you can use it to send files to a specific location, copy photos to a new device, or print your work in moments. It also comes with default entries you may never use and lack certain features you may want.

It also comes with default entries you may never use and lack certain features you may want. Let’s explore tweaking what appears in the SendTo menu.
