In the world of technology, there are always new things to learn and new ways to use what we have. Here are a few tips for you this week: Video game play times: If you’re like most people, you probably spend a lot of time playing video games. But how long do you really spend playing each game? According to a study by the NPD Group, the average person plays video games for about two hours and forty minutes per week. That’s a lot of time! So if you want to squeeze in some other activities during that time, it might be helpful to know how long each game lasts. Repairing a computer mouse: If your mouse is starting to act up, there are probably several things that can be done to fix it. One common problem is that the mouse cable is worn out. You can replace the cable yourself or have a technician do it for you. Another common problem is that the mouse buttons are not working properly. You can usually fix this by cleaning off any debris that may be blocking the buttons’ sensors from working properly. Minimalist Android timers: If you’re looking for an easy way to keep track of your daily schedule, check out some minimalist Android timers. These apps allow you to set simple goals, such as exercising for 30 minutes every day or eating healthy foods every day. Once you’ve set your goals, these apps will notify you when they’re complete so that you can feel good about yourself! ..
