Where are NVIDIA Highlights stored
Fortnite and other games can create automatic highlights when certain trigger events happen. It took me some time to figure out where these are stored, and I thought I’d share how you can find out the exact location on your system. Open the GeForce Experience: either by searching for itor using the Start – NVIDIA – GeForce Experienceor by right-clicking the NVIDIA icon in the task bar and choosing GeForce Experience Now click on the gear icon at the top right to go into the Settings Menu.

read moreHow to open blank new tabs in Microsoft Edge
By default, Microsoft Edge opens new tabs with a plethora of junk that I do not care to see. Unimportant articles from sources I’d never read, weather from regions I’d never visit, and a ton of other crap that makes puts a downer on my online life. As changes are being introduced into Edge hard and fast, Microsoft has sadly removed the option to open blank new tabs with just nothing on them. Lucky for us, there’s a “minimal junk” option that we can use instead. It still displays stuff we don’t necessarily...
read moreHow to enable Dark Mode in Microsoft Edge
I currently have an issue with literally all browsers on all my computers, for reasons that make no sense whatsoever. In desperation I tried the last option I could think of, which was Microsoft Edge. I’m still shocked that it’s currently my only option to watch YouTube streams. But hey, I’m grateful that at least one browser works, until I can fix all the others. Not knowing much about Edge, I thought the first thing I’ll do is to switch it over to Dark Mode. That wasn’t easy, and other articles suggest...

I’ve been pulling my hair out about something rather simple and straightforward, namely how to update the BIOS on a HP Z840 Workstation I’ve picked up from eBay. It’s gorgeous, probably one of the best computers I’ve ever owned. I love it! While HP do have a section dedicated to drivers and updates about the Z840 on their website, they don’t actually tell you exactly how to use their downloads. You have to find that out by yourself. Well here’s what worked for me fellow traveller, in May 2021: head over to...

I love using the Playstation 4 controller. It usually behaves well once connected to one device, but getting there is often a total nightmare. Sony got may things right in their user experience, however connecting PS4 controllers isn’t one of them. Here’s how I’ve managed to connect my PS4 controller to my PS4 console, after it has been connected to a Windows PC. Resetting the Controller To make sure the controller does not accidentally speak to a nearby system, make sure to reset it. If it has been paired with Windows...
read moreWhere to find your Facebook Page Admin invites
I was invited to manage a Facebook Page recently. This requires the owner/admin of said page to send out an invite to my personal profile, to which all pages are linked. It’s done under Settings – Page Roles. In an ideal world, this will result in an actionable email or browser notification at my end. All I would then do is to accept the invite, and I’ll be able to manage the Facebook page. Sadly I never got an email or a notification. We’ve verified that the invite had definitely been sent, but no matter how hard I...
