There’s another option called ‘Speed of the subtitles’ in there. Normally, the subtitles
should run for the same time as that of the video. However in rare cases, if you do come
across a subtitle that wraps up faster (or slower) than the video, you can make use of that
particular option. If the subtitle advances too slowly (starts with proper sync, but then
increasingly lags behind), increase the “fps” (frames per second) value to something
above 1.0, the value depending upon the relative speed of the subtitle. Similarly for fast
subtitles, decrease the fps value so that they’ll keep in pace with the video and won’t run
ahead faster.

As I said, both these features are only temporary and last as long as the video is open in
VLC. If you want a permanent solution, you should instead look for perfectly syncing
subtitles. Sublight is one useful tool that’ll help you get them. Sublight even has a built-in
syncing tool that’ll permanently sync de-synced subtitles with their respective videos.

Of course, if for any reason you cannot, or do not want to, use Sublight, VLC’s swift little
trick has always got you covered. :)

Windows 10 is safer and more secure thanks to Windows Defender and Windows Firewall.
When you start up Windows 10 for the first time, Windows Defender is on and working to protect your PC by scanning for
malicious software. It will turn itself off if you install another antivirus app.
Windows Defender uses real-time protection to scan everything you download or run on your PC. Turn off real-time protection
temporarily by selecting the Start button, and then selecting Settings > Update & security > Windows Defender.

To scan specific files or folders, select them, then right-click (or press and hold)and choose Scan with Windows Defender. If
Windows Defender finds anything malicious, it will notify you in the app and recommend what you should do next to keep your
PC safe.
Windows Firewall filters info coming into your PC from the Internet, blocking potentially harmful programs. To turn it off, go to
the search box and type firewall. Then select Windows Firewall > Turn Windows Firewall on or off.











Step 2: Set Your Options

Before you go any further, click Options, and select Hide Extensions. This will keep
NameChanger from overwriting your extensions. If you forget this step and make the
wrong move, you’ll have to go back and add in all your extensions again or OS X won’t
know what to do with all of your files.

Make sure to get everything straight in your preferences before you move forward.

NameChanger can get fussy if you try to name two files the same thing. With
unique names turned on, a digit will be appended to identical filenames.

While you’re there, you can also decide whether you want NameChanger to ignore case or force unique
names. That first one is up to you, but I recommend you choose to force unique names, as
NameChanger can get fussy if you try to name two files the same thing. With unique names turned on,
a digit will be appended to identical filenames.

Step 3: Change Your Filenames

There are several different ways to rename your files, and you can use a combination of batch renaming
methods, if you’d like. Just be careful about what order everything goes, because if you use a process
that replaces the current name after you’ve added your descriptive prefix, it’ll all end in tears. If you’re
worried about creating bizarre or unusable filenames, you can create a copy of your files in another
folder before you start.

The drop-down gives you’re all your renaming options.
To add a keyword to a file name, choose Append or Prepend from the drop-down and add your text in
the field to the right. If you choose to append the keyword, it will appear at the beginning of the filename,
making it really easy to sort the files alphabetically. Prepending the keyword or any other text will
preserve whatever’s at the front of the filename but still allow you to organize or search for your files
based on the new name.

If you’re batch renaming several files with similar names, you may not be able to
complete the transformation if the output filenames will be identical.

Remove Characters will chop off a bit of the front or the end of a filename. You’ll have to input a range
based on the total number of characters in the title, which can be tedious, though. Also, be careful, because
if you’re batch renaming several files with similar names, you may not be able to complete the
transformation if the output filenames will be identical.

Step 4: Date and Number Your Files

NameChanger will add a date to your filenames so you can sort them chronologically. Again, you can add
the date to the beginning or the end of your filename, whichever works best for you. NameChanger lets you
tack on either the date the file was created or a custom date of your choosing. You can tag it with today’s
date or really any date in the past or future. You’re kind of hamstrung, unfortunately, by the date formats
available. If you want the YYYY-MM-DD format, for instance, you’re out of luck, unless you also want to add
how many seconds are left until midnight, too.

Add a date to your filenames. It can be the date the files were created or the current date.
I saved my favorite rename transformation for last, Sequence. With this process, you can both rename and
number your files. For instance, if you have a bunch of similar text files with lots of different filenames, you
can rename them all FILE-001.TXT, FILE-002.TXT, FILE-003.TXT, etc. NameChanger will replace the
entire original filename if you want, or you can just tack the sequence onto the beginning or the end. Once
NameChanger starts rolling, there’s no turning back, so make sure you’ve got your files ordered how you’d
like: alphabetically, by file date, or a custom arrangement.

Change the filename and tack on a number to keep everything organized.

Step 5: Save Your Rename

If you plan on renaming files in a similar way often, it’s likely worth it to save your rename process. In the
Renames menu, select Save Current Rename. Give your rename a title, and it will appear in a list in the
Renames menus. Should you find you’ve gone transformation crazy and saved too many renames, they
can be deleted by selecting Manage Renames.

Skype has finally added the one feature that makes Google Hangouts so much easier to use: shareable chat links.

This means you can now use Skype to chat with anyone, not just the people in your contact list. To get started,
download the new versions of Skype now: Windows and Mac. Skype for mobile devices currently doesn’t have the
ability to start a conversation and share a link, though Microsoft is working on that.

Once you’ve updated, click the +New button, and invite anyone to join a Skype chat by sharing the unique link.
Because it’s just a hyperlink, you can send it over email, Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, Twitter, and so on.

By clicking on the link, anyone can join a conversation from Skype for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, or even Skype
for Web. The only drawback is that links are only available in the U.S. and in the U.K., for now.

Anyone can join the chat as a guest from their computer, even if they don’t have Skype installed. Skype for Web
supports instant messaging, voice, and video calls.

A link is really all you need — no Skype account or app download required. That said, while the link initially takes
you to Skype for Web, if you have Skype installed, the dedicated app will open on your computer or mobile device.

You may have heard of Tobii, the technology which would let you control the mouse pointer, launch apps, open links
and do more, simply by moving your eyes. But nothing has been heard so far about the status of this would-be path-
breaking software that would allow a computer user to move the mouse cursor simply by moving one’s eyes. I
suppose it is still under development.
Till then I would like you to check out Enable Viacam, an open source software for Windows and Linux, that lets you
control the mouse pointer by moving your head – something similar to Camera Mouse.

Enable Viacam is a mouse replacement software that lets you moves the mouse pointer, with the help of your
head. Simply move your head – and the mouse pointer will move! It is based on the Facial Mouse software
and works on standard PCs equipped with a web camera – without the need for any additional hardware.
Once you have downloaded and installed this software, run the configuration wizard. During the course of its
run, you will be asked to set some settings and move your head in different directions. These screenshots will
give you an idea about the configuration wizard’s run
