How to Turn Off Slow WiFi Using Siri or Google Assistant

Did you just automatically connect to a slow WiFi?

This can happen when you're away from your home WiFi and your phone has automatically joined a WiFi that is slow.

You can manually disable WiFi to jump back to your Carrier's data connection by clicking the menus.

But you can also just tell Siri or Google Assistant to turn off your WiFi connection.

“Hey Siri, turn off my WiFi”

When you know you have a solid WiFi connection again, just tell Siri or Google Assistant to turn it back on.

"Hey Siri, turn on my Wifi"

That's it! Enjoy.

How to Unlock Screen Rotation on an iPhone

Sometimes when using an iPhone you'll need to rotate your phone to see a wider view of the content.

This is very useful when you are laying on your side and want to read on your phone or watch a video.

But what happens if the screen doesn't rotate?

It could be because the Portrait Orientation is locked.

To fix this, you'll need to turn it off.

Here's how to do it.

Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center.
Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock button to make sure that it's off.

Rotate your iPhone sideways.

If the screen doesn't rotate, try using a different application such as Google Chrome or the Safari browser.

Conversely, there may be times when you DON'T want the screen to rotate. Make sure the Portrait Orientation is LOCKED.

Enjoy!

How to Find Out if an Online Service is Down

Is the cloud service down?

Is it them or is it you?

That is the real question in today's modern world.

With so much of our lives dependent on the online services we use every day, we often have to troubleshoot when we can't access services.

How do we survive when Google, Facebook, Instagram, Apple, or Microsoft can't be used?

Is it their service that is down? Or is it your PC or phone? Or the WiFi? Or the broadband service?

Before you start rebooting or restarting an application, there are several places you can check first.

Here's how to do it.

First check out the amazing Downdetector service. Downdetector is powered by user reports and online indicators for thousands of services in dozens of countries. Make it your first stop.

If your outage is specific to one service and you still have net access, check out these company sites that provide online health statuses for their users:

A Google News Search for <service name> outage can also let you know if there is a widespread service disruption.

Use This Cool Tip to Organize Your Windows, Documents and Applications While Working

Do you have too many confusing windows, documents and applications open on your Windows PC?

Are you getting your personal documents confused with your work documents when you have them both open?

Here's a cool tip to help you better manage and organize your Windows screens.

--> Open one or more new virtual desktops.

The multiple desktops feature in Windows is a cool way to have multiple desktop screens to keep you organized. Even if you only have one screen.

Each desktop can be specific to different types of PC activities, for example, work and personal.

Or you can create multiple desktops - one each for each specific project.

You can even quickly switch desktops before a meeting to reduce the clutter and avoid oversharing your desktop information.

Here's how to create multiple virtual desktops in Windows 10 and 11:

Windows 11

Select the Task View icon on the Taskbar
Select New desktop.

Microsoft Windows Task View with Highlights

Open the apps you want to use on that desktop.
You can also use the Windows key + Tab shortcut on your keyboard.

To switch to another desktop, select Task view again.

Windows 10

On the taskbar, select Task view > New desktop +.
Open the apps you want to use on that desktop.
To switch to another desktop, select Task view again.
You can also use the Windows key + Tab shortcut on your keyboard.
To switch to another desktop, select Task view again.

To Move or Share a window from one desktop to another:

Select the Task View button
Hover over the virtual desktop with the app you want to move
Right-mouse click on the thumbnail of the app you want to move.
Select Move to, and then select the virtual desktop where you want to move the app.
