Let’s be honest: Computer users today need all the help they can get, whatever makes their lives easier. You have to appreciate that. This is exactly why we’re happy to point you to a pair of helpful hacks that can eliminate at least some stress from your busy days.
Forcing Android to check for system updates
You have probably realized that your operating system gets updates fairly regularly. But there’s no way of knowing when your particular device will receive a specific update. This can be some what annoying as you may be awaiting an update to fix a bug or provide you with an interesting new service. You can choose to wait for the update to be released to you, or you can force your device to look for updates. The website Ghack explains how you can force your Android to update: First go to the “Settings” menu. Select “Apps” and choice “Show All.” Then look for the “Google Services Framework” and then click the “Clear Data” option. Finally, click the “Force Stop” button. Your device will then search for any updates available and retrieve them.
Protecting your eyes
Computer screens are bad for your eyes and over time they can do permanent damage if you stare at them daily. This is where these tricks from the Atlantic can come in handy. The easiest of which is to make sure your computer screen is clean, and the brightest thing around. Another good habit to get into is to take “20-20-20” breaks. Focus your eyes on a spot 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. And lastly, don’t sit too close. If you can high-five your computer screen, you’re too close.
