[mai mult...]How to Change Google Photos Backup Quality
Google Photos is one of the best services for backing up photos and videos to the cloud. There are a couple of upload quality options you can use to maximize your storage space. We’ll show you how it works.
Starting June 1, 2021, Google Photos no longer offers free unlimited storage. Previously, you could back up photos and videos at “High Quality” and they wouldn’t count toward your storage. Now, everything you upload counts, so you may want to adjust the upload quality. The one exception to this is if you use a Google Pixel phone. Those devices still get free unlimited backups with the “Storage Saver”—formerly “High Quality”—upload quality.

Does using a drop-down list in Microsoft Excel make data entry easier for you or your co-workers? If you said yes and want to go a step further, you can create a dependent drop-down list just as easily.
With a dependent drop-down list, you select the item that you want in the first list, and that determines the items that display as choices in the second one. For example, you might select a product, like a shirt, and then pick a size, a food item, like ice cream, and then pick a flavor, or an album, and then pick a song.

[mai mult...]What Is a Slack “Huddle” and How Do I Start One?
Clubhouse splashed onto the scene with “drop-in” voice-only group chats. Several services have introduced their own versions of this, including Slack. Here’s how you can use Slack for quick “huddles” with your team when you need more than text.
What Is a Huddle in Slack?
A Slack Huddle is a similar concept to Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces in that there’s really not a formal meeting time or invitation. The whole idea is that people can simply “drop-in” to a Huddle whenever. And what actually is a Huddle when you join one? It’s pretty much just an audio-only chat room. There is no option to show yourself with a webcam, but on the desktop, you can share your screen. Huddles are meant for quick, casual discussions.
A Huddle can be started in any Slack channel, including direct messaging if you want to Huddle with one other person. Huddles can have up to 50 participants. You can use Huddles on Slack for desktop, iPhone, iPad, and Android.

[mai mult...]How to Rename Columns or Rows in Google Sheets
If you’re creating a Google Sheets spreadsheet for others to use, you can make it easier to refer to certain sections of data by renaming columns or rows using named ranges. Here’s how.
What Are Named Ranges?
Named ranges allow you to add a custom name to a group of cells, from entire columns or rows to smaller groups of cells. Creating a named range doesn’t overwrite the original cell references (A1, A2, etc.), but it does make it easier to refer to these cells (and the data contained within them) when you’re adding new formulas.
Using the Name Box
The quickest way to add a named range to Google Sheets is to use the name box. This is the box, positioned to the left of the formula bar, that shows you the cell reference for the cell or cells that are currently selected in your spreadsheet. To begin, open your Google Sheets spreadsheet and select a new column or row. With the row or column selected, replace the existing cell reference in the name box with a new name, and then press the Enter key to save your choice.

Apple is taking a privacy-focused approach with the iPhone, which has caused Google to take it more seriously. One such privacy feature in Android lets you completely turn off the microphone and camera access from the Android Quick Settings. We’ll show you how.
Introduced in Android 12, the “Privacy Dashboard” gives you an easy way to see which apps are using which permissions and how often. This is great for seeing what’s been accessed in the past, but what about stopping it from happening right now?
