In the past couple of months I have been getting irritated with Facebook. What has been bothering me you ask? The Pop-up notifications on my computer. You know what I’m talking about. Those Pop-up boxes in the bottom right corner of your computer screen that says something is happening on your FB. At first it was […]
Whenever Windows 10 is mentioned, the majority of negative comments will generally rail about the telemetry (data collection). However, while I appreciate some of those concerns, is that really the most important issue? With today’s mobile-centric consumers demanding more and more on-the-go functionality, it’s only natural that levels of telemetry would need to increase exponentially… […]
iOS 10 vs iOS 9 While there is much to like about iOS 10, the most annoying feature for me has been the ‘Press home to unlock’ feature. Back in the good old days (iOS 9), you just rested your finger over the Home button. This would unlock your device and seamlessly take you past […]
I thought I knew every type of free screen capture tool available, that was until I came across CloudShot. According to CloudShot’s changelog, the software has been around since late 2012 with the most recent version (5.1) released in March this year. Strange then that I’d never heard of it, especially seeing how it is […]

It is much easier to show you how to do something than it is to merely tell you about it. The old “a picture […]
I remember once I was asked to use multiple references to the same footnote and I freaked. My first thought was, “great…how do I do this?” Luckily my normal approach to these things is “I know this program can do this, all I need to do is figure out HOW it does it.” Just doesn’t […]
Reimage is an online Windows repair tool which scans the system for free, then requires a payment to fix any identified issues. DCT may be a small fish in a very big pond but we still receive quite a few partnership and affiliate offers. These offers generally involve some sort of quid pro quo arrangement […]
Windows 10 comes with a slew of pre-installed apps, the usefulness of which will vary from user to user. Most of the less useful apps, such as “Get Office” for example, include their own right-click uninstall option. However, some do not, and this is where third party removal tools can come in handy. Introducing 10AppsManager […]
Signatures in Thunderbird Recently I have been wondering how I could get an eMail signature to appear in replies and forwarded eMail. When I write an eMail, the signature is always there, but when I’m responding/replying to an eMail, it is not. This is frustrating when I want people to always know the who, where and […]
Recycling Is A Good Thing Just when you think you’ve seen it all, someone does something that is simply too good not to share. This is about laptop computers and strange-but-true things people do with them. I’m all for recycling, so I thought some of these examples would definitely be interesting. and may just have […]
VLC Video Glitch VideoLAN Media Player (VLC) is a popular choice to replace the bundled Windows media players. In Windows 10 that would be Movies and TV; before that it was Windows Media Player. I upgraded my VideoLAN Media Player one day only to discover that there was a thin green line on the right-hand […]
