#Report#Google Maps will now tell you how busy a place is in real time

图片
So you want to head over to that trendy new taco stand, but you’re not sure if the line is going to be around the street corner. Well, Google Maps now has the answer. A new feature the company highlighted on its Keyword blog now estimates how busy or slow things are in real time, thanks to Google’s data powers. Google Maps can estimate when a store is likely to be at peak busyness. It’s unlikely that this will be available for every single location on the planet just yet, but if you live in a large city where Google has access to enough real-time information your mealtime decisions may get a whole lot easier. There’s also a spot for you to update the information if Maps doesn’t have it quite right. This feature also lets you check in to find out how long people will typically stay at that specific venue. Also, Google is adding extra detail for stores that might have separate hours for different departments. This way you won’t show up when a store is open only to fin...

#report#When water, coffee, or liquid spills on your laptop, do this

Liquid and electricity don’t mix. When the two meet, the liquid can destroy a great deal of electronic circuits. It can also send you a serious shock if you’re not careful. I’m going to assume here that you’re not reading this on the wet PC. Best not to use it until everything has dried up. Immediately after the spill, make sure your hands, and the laptop’s power button, are dry. Use a towel if necessary. Turn off the computer…and I don’t mean shutting down Windows properly. Press and hold the power button. The computer will shut down completely after five seconds. Next, remove any source of electricity. Unplug the AC adapter from the wall socket. Then remove the battery, if the battery is removable. You’re now safe from shock. Unplug anything else that’s plugged in—mouse, cables, flash drives, and so on. Open and remove anything that can be opened and removed with relative ease. For instance, remove the RAM and the hard drive or SSD. If the liquid was something that dries...

#report#How to update your PC's BIOS

A tiny BIOS chip lurks inside every computer, sitting on your motherboard to breathe life into your system when you press the power button. It not only powers your PC, but helps protect it, too—as Duo Security's recent report on Apple macOS attacks points out BIOS stands for basic input and output system, and the BIOS chip initializes all the other devices in your PC, like the CPU, GPU, and motherboard chipset. But a few years ago, motherboard manufacturers—in partnership with Microsoft and Intel—introduced a replacement for traditional BIOS chips dubbed UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). Almost every motherboard shipping today has a UEFI chip rather than a BIOS chip, but they both share the same core purpose: preparing the system to boot into the operating system. That said, most people still call the UEFI the “BIOS” because of the familiarity of the term. Why you should (or shouldn’t) upgrade your BIOS Understanding your UEFI is important so you can understan...

#report#How to fix a dead key on your keyboard

One bad key on your keyboard can make it impossible to write even the simplest email. After all, without the N key, your kids might be stuck eating “afterschool sacks.” Here’s how to fix the problem. [Have a tech question? As Answer Line transitions from Lincoln Spector to Josh Norem, you can still send your query to answer@pcworld.com.] First, if your keyboard doesn’t have a separate number pad, check the Numlock key. If it’s on, it might rearrange some keys and make others unusable. Otherwise, there’s probably something below the bad key. You have to get it out. If it’s an external keyboard, turn it over and gently tap the back. If that doesn’t work, unwind a paperclip and try dislodging stuff from beneath the key. But don’t try either of these with a laptop’s built-in keyboard If neither of those worked, or if the problem is with your laptop’s built-in keyboard, use compressed air to blow out whatever is beneath the problem key. You can buy a can of compressed air for as l...
