How can you tell if your phone is tapped? Like it or not, most of us have grown used to our phones being spied upon—not at least by governments!

But other parties can tap into your smartphone. This includes hackers, your employer, an ex-partner, or the press! They might be listening in to your calls, reading and sending texts and emails, or altering information on your interface.

Here’s how to tell if your cell phone has been tapped.

A dead or stuck pixel on a TFT, OLED, or LCD screen is incredibly annoying. You can’t help but stare at it for days on end, wondering how long a repair or exchange might take. All that grieve over something as unimportant, yet highly irritating as a “dead” pixel, that might be easy to fix.

Before you run the item back to the store though, try whether you can fix the dead pixel yourself! This, if done carefully, will not hamper your warranty and might save you a lot of time and worries.

So, let’s see how you can possibly fix dead pixels on your screen.

The System Service Exception in Windows 10 is a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Unlike in older versions of Windows, the BSOD now has useful information for fixing your computer.

If you’ve ever opened up your computer, you know there is a lot of hardware in there. It’s all a potential point of failure. There are certain pieces of hardware which are more prone to failure than others.

Equipment that either generates heat or has moving parts tends to fail most often. Thanks to computer hardware tests, you can scan your system and spot failing hardware before everything crashes.

What Can Go Wrong With PC Hardware?

The parts that most commonly break are fans, hard disk drives, CPUs, and GPUs.

RAM also tends to fail too. It is continually being written and re-written to (flashed). Solid-state memory can only handle so many flashes before it begins to fail. The problem also applies to solid-state hard drives.

The best way to avoid being caught out is to perform regular hardware diagnostic tests on your computer. Here’s how to do hardware tests on Windows 10.

Windows 10 Hardware Diagnostic Tools

Windows 10 has two built-in hardware diagnostic tools. The first analyzes system performance on your computer and the second runs memory tests on your Windows 10 PC.

1. Performance Monitor
2. Windows Memory Diagnostic

Getting a blue screen of death (also known as a stop code error), where your system unexpectedly crashes, is frustrating. Especially when you don’t understand the problem. If the error is named “Unexpected Store Exception,” we can help.

Despite what you might think, this error has nothing to do with the Microsoft Store. We’re going to show you various ways to troubleshoot this error to determine the cause of an Unexpected Store Exception in Windows 10.

Are there any function keys on your Mac’s keyboard that seem useless to you? You can reprogram them to be more useful!

For example, you can remap the Mission Control key to take a screenshot instead of revealing active apps. Or how about using the Launchpad key to bring up the emoji viewer, or a menu bar calendar of your choice?

Such changes are easy to make, as we’ll see below. But first, let’s take a closer look at function key behavior itself.
