Hotmail lets you download attachments as a zip file

Did you know, you can download attachments faster in Hotmail as it packs individual files into a single zip?


If the attachments are images, there is an option to view them as a slideshow without having to download those images locally. The slideshow runs using a Silverlight viewer that can also present the images in a full-screen format. Pretty cool!

In its last make-over, Hotmail also introduced the Conversation threading feature which can be toggled. This flexibility also probably prompted Gmail to have the facility of switching views.

2 ways to copy tooltip text from a web page

Image
There are times when I've wanted the tool-tip text that appears on hovering over a link or an icon within a web page. The cumbersome way is to select the object that has the tooltip and then use Inspect element option in Chrome (as shown in the animated GIF below) or open Developer Tools (F12 keyboard shortcut in popular browsers) select the element containing the tooltip and grab the desired text from HTML code. Inspect Element option in Chrome I found a simpler option that works with tool-tips on some websites (not all) Select the word before and after the image containing the tooltip and when the tool tip appears, copy the selected text. Copy it from the clipboard and remove the extra words after you paste Select tooltip & its surrounding words, copy & paste I've tested this crude trick in IE 11, Firefox 34 and Chrome 39 (all on Windows) (The animated GIFs were generated using the ScreenToGif open-source tool)

TWIL - Week #6

This Week I Learned: Programming: IE10 for the phone and the PC are built on the same engine and use the same renderer which means that what you see on your desktop (or tablet) is what you'll see on your phone. Additionally, the web browser control in Windows Phone apps is a full instance of IE10, with the same speed and power as the native phone browser. An analysis of the world’s top 1000 URLs reveals that page weight increased 28% from March 2012 (822 K) to March 2013 (1053 KB). The median page load time on desktops got ~3.5% faster, and on mobile was ~18% ~30% faster . General: To quickly watch YouTube screencasts: open video in HTML5 mode > cog > set speed to 1.5 Standalone SWF, PDF files can be viewed with Chrome Samsung's cost of materials and manufacturing to produce the U.S. version of the S 4 is slightly above $237 a unit. This is higher than Apple's $217 production cost for a 32-gigabyte iPhone 5, which has a smaller and less-costly display scr...

HOW TO replace a Lithium Ion Battery in a USB Charging Portable Fan or Similar Electronic Devices

Image
I purchased a BAJAJ Pygmy Mini USB Charging Portable fan in December 2023, and it was very handy during the summer. After not using it for a few months, I tried to turn it on one day, but it wouldn't start.  It was beyond its one-year warranty, and there were no electronics shops in my neighborhood to figure out the issue. I discovered that YouTube videos can be a great resource to see if others have faced the same problem and found a solution. I came across a great video on YouTube that showed me how to fix and revive the fan. It turned out that it just needed a new rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Perplexity offered a great explanation about the ICR-18650-800mAh battery type used in the fan. ICR: Indicates lithium-ion chemistry with cobalt (LiCoO₂). 18650 cells are a standard size widely used in everything from flashlights to laptops and e-bikes. The battery size is 18mm diameter, 65mm length (cylindrical format). It comes in a variety of capacities (measured in mAh or milliamp...
