My daughter’s wedding came in the middle of my busy schedule. I was happy to have a day off and I was thankful for some time to catch up on news, books, and the occasional movie. I wanted to make the most out of the time I had. I knew that I had to set up a plan to relax, unwind, and just enjoy the day.
I came home to find that my new computer had been working quite hard. When I went to turn it off, it said that it was trying to shutdown without a key. I thought that was a strange thing to happen, but the more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became. Turns out it was the fact that I’d left my laptop on. I had to find a solution to get it back to it’s default settings.
To get back to normal, you need to restore the computer to its default settings. I had to do this, because I had accidentally disabled the option to turn off the computer’s power management, so it kept shutting down. To restore the computer to its default settings you can’t just go to “options.” It’s a whole new system which makes it almost impossible to figure out what option is enabled and disabled.
It also makes it impossible to repair the computer, since many options can’t be changed, and it also makes it easier to accidentally disable all the options. If you want help figuring out what settings to turn off and on, you can reach out to us at [email protected].
I’m not a fan of the ‘power management’ thing though, because it was really annoying the first time I had to do this and the second time I did, I accidentally turned off the power management system. I had to restart the computer and it took me a few minutes to get back to the menu. The whole ‘power management’ is a bit of a red herring, since you can still manually control everything through the operating system.
So, the power management system isn’t really all that important. With the recent “finally,” the internet is finally getting rid of the dreaded and annoying “fetch” feature in Chrome. This means you will no longer be able to access your favorite websites quickly using a search engine. Unfortunately, if you have a Chromebook (most Chromebooks do), Chrome will still fetch the data for them, but it will also slow down your experience a bit.
The good news is that Chrome supports the new version of the Linux kernel which, in my opinion, is the only change I am likely to notice in my daily use of it. I use Chrome for many reasons, but one of them is that it runs faster and is always my first choice of browser.
A week ago I downloaded the finastra package, which is a little application that I was told would increase my speed by up to 500%. I was able to get the website to open in about three seconds, but I must have been a bit too quick because after the first minute of use the speed increased to five seconds.
The finastra package is supposed to increase your Chrome speed by 5%. It works by speeding up the web page when you download an image, and then slowing it down when you save it.
I’m now using Firefox, but I was unable to figure out how to get finastra to work with Firefox in the past.
