Creating Google Drive shortcuts not only increases efficiency but also saves you time and streamlines your workflow. Instead of navigating through multiple layers of folders, a shortcut takes you directly to the file or folder you need.

As a writer, I regularly manage most of my project files in Google Drive. I often find myself repeatedly opening the same file or folder, and creating a shortcut is a quick and painless way to get back to it.

Furthermore, you can share shortcuts with colleagues or friends to enhance teamwork. Also, if you have a file in a shared team folder but want easy access from your personal folder, you can create a shortcut instead of duplicating the file. This way, you avoid cluttering your Drive with copies, and any updates made to the file are reflected everywhere.

• To view all user accounts on Windows 11, go to Settings > Accounts > Other Users. View family accounts at Settings > Accounts > Family.
• To retrieve the account list using a command-line method, open Command Prompt, type the “net user” command, and press Enter.
• To view more details about user accounts, in Command Prompt, type the “wmic useraccount get” command and press Enter.

Do you want to find out all the user accounts that exist on your Windows 11 PC? If so, you have both graphical and command-line methods to list existing accounts. I’ll show you the various ways to do that.

Microsoft just announced a few changes coming to WSL, including a new getting started experience. The first time someone installs and runs WSL, a new window appears explaining what WSL is and some of its key features. The window will also be accessible from the “Welcome to WSL” button in the WSL settings app.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux can be a bit difficult to understand, so any improvement there is welcome. WSL works a lot like a virtual machine (WSL2 is actually just a Hyper-V container), but the Linux VM doesn’t have its own desktop environment, and it shares access to files and other resources from the host Windows PC. Even if you have used Linux before, there can still be a learning curve with accessing and moving files, incomplete USB support, and other important differences.

Microsoft also announced a few other changes coming to WSL. There’s a new way to create WSL distros with simple configuration files and .tar archives, which will mostly be helpful for Linux distro developers and sharing configurations in enterprise settings. You can configure a custom icon, startup command, and name, then package it as a simple file for other people to install.

Finally, Red Hat is now an official WSL distro, so Red Hat Enterprise Linux can be set up from the usual install command. Most people will probably still want the typical Ubuntu or Debian distro, but for developers and companies using Red Hat and Fedora, it’s a helpful improvement.

The new setup experience and distribution packaging formats are available for testing in WSL Preview 2.4.4, and they should roll out to the stable WSL experience once any bugs are ironed out.

• RAM used to be rated in MHz based on clock cycles, but now uses MT/s for data transfer.
• MT/s gives a theoretical max data transfer, not a direct correlation to MHz.
• Rating RAM in Mbps might provide a clearer picture of actual data movement compared to MT/s.

You may have noticed that some computer specifications now list RAM speeds in terms of MT/s or “Megatransfers per second” instead of the traditional Megahertz.

The CPU (central processing unit) is the brain of your computer, processing instructions from programs and components.

• Modern CPUs use billions of microscopic transistors to interpret binary signals, enabling complex tasks at high speeds.
• Your CPU connects with other PC components through sockets and buses.

The most important part of your computer, if you had to choose just one, would be the central processing unit (CPU). It’s the primary hub (or “brain”), and it processes the instructions that come from programs, the operating system, or other components in your PC.
