Q&A: Will my coworkers be able to tell I’m watching videos?

Posted on November 6, 2022

Question from Kerry:  My company has about 30 employees working together in one large open room.

We each have mini-offices set up in separate cubicles.

Although there’s very little privacy on our floor I have a corner cubicle that gives me a lot more privacy than my coworkers.

A friend recommended that I skip Windows this time and get a Chromebook instead. I’d love to have your opinion on that.  [Read more…]

Posted on August 12, 2022

As you probably know, YouTube hosts billions of videos on pretty much every topic under the sun, and the vast majority of them can be viewed at any time for free.

This is why I wrote a post a while back explaining why YouTube is one of the best sites on the Internet for helping you quickly learn how to do something you’ve never done before.

As you also probably know, many of the videos on YouTube contain some type of “adult” subject matter that you might not want to see – or allow your kids to see.

(Yes, as a Google property YouTube has a minimum age requirement but we all know how well those work in practice.)

Luckily, YouTube has a “Restricted Mode” setting that will block the vast majority of videos containing adult subject matter to prevent them from being viewed on any device that you have it enabled on. [Read more…]

Posted on June 8, 2022

If you’ve ever tried to capture a screenshot from a YouTube video you know how difficult it can be to find just the right frame to capture.

Unless your timing with the “Pause” button is absolutely perfect it can take quite a while to find a frame that will look great as a screenshot.

Well, I’m about to give you a little tip that will make finding just the right frame almost as easy as finding a grain of sand on a beach.
