Fixing Chrome I was trying to help someone work out their Facebook issues but was unsuccessful. They where using Chrome on an XP system with 500 MB RAM. They could get into Facebook, but couldn’t play the games. They already ran an antivirus scan. I suggested using CCleaner to clean out temporary files; this has […]
Passwords Stored In Browsers It’s easy enough to forget your passwords. Sometimes passwords are saved, hidden on your computer, like on-line site passwords hidden in your browser. Here is how to dig them out or clear them. Editor’s Note: Using your browser to save passwords is considered a high security risk and is not recommended. […]
Forgotten Passwords I’ve known people who have automatic login enabled on their Facebook accounts and then the data gets erased and they can’t remember their passwords. The problem is, we are too busy looking at the asterisks in the password field and it’s easy to forget. They write them down, but still lose track. The […]
Opera VPN A couple weeks ago, I wrote an article about the Opera VPN not connecting. I posted a temporary fix, just turn it on and off, but after a recent update, it no longer works and the VPN still has problems connecting. That is, until I found another way to make it work again. […]
Customizing Things If you have been following my writing for the last couple of years you would have noticed that I love adding my style to things.

So I asked myself, “Can I send an invoice to someone using my personal PayPal account?” With a business account it’s a fairly easy decision to send an invoice to a client, but with a […]
In a recent article here at DCT I showed how to Activate Dark Mode in YouTube and in another I raved about Opera and it’s many stand-out features. It’s entirely possible, yet highly unlikely that the good people at Opera actually read those two articles because version 45.0.2552.635 (PGO) aka Opera Reborn has introduced not only […]

Cool YouTube Darkness Apparently Google is working on a not-so-secret Dark Mode for YouTube and you can activate it yourself in just three easy steps. Personally, I find a darker background to be easier on the eyes and certainly hope that Google incorporate this feature into YouTube on a permanent basis. How to Activate Dark […]
Netflix Is Now a Dating App Without doubt, Netflix is the world’s most popular media streaming service; it’s easy to use, offers an amazing variety of content and until very recently used a tried and tested five-star rating system that made sense and was logical for viewers to relate to. All that has now changed […]
This article is presented on the basis that the reader is already somewhat familiar with the nature of VPNs and the type of services they provide.
