Windows 11 trick - E01:

Hey, Windows 11 users! Did you know that you can easily personalize your multiple desktops with names and backgrounds so you always know where you are, instantly? Having multiple desktops designated by theme or task can help you compartmentalize your digital life, and switch between them instantly. Here’s how to do it:

Hover over the Task View icon on the taskbar to see any open virtual desktops or create a new desktop.
Right-click on any desktop thumbnail and choose Rename to give it a meaningful name, such as Work, School, Gaming, etc.
Right-click on the desktop again and choose Choose Background to select a different wallpaper for each desktop.
To switch between desktops, you can use the Task View icon, the keyboard shortcut Windows logo key + Tab, or swipe left or right on the touchpad with four fingers.
This is a cool and handy trick that can make your Windows 11 experience more organized and fun. Try it out and let me know what you think in the comments!

Unifi G3 Instant Protect Review & Install including Video / Audio Test, Ubiquiti does it again. 25/01/2022

Unifi G3 Instant Protect Review & Install including Video / Audio Test, Ubiquiti does it again.
Welcome to my look at the Unifi (Ubiquiti) G3 Instant camera, this camera retails for £30 ($30, €30 respectively) this is outstanding for such a small internal camera. The G3 Instant is not waterproof so is purely designed for monitoring internal environments such as your office, or maybe a Garage or even used for monitoring a nursery the camera has infrared for nighttime use with a 133 wide-angle lens you are sure to get great coverage.
I hope you enjoy my review and installation of this Unifi Protect product.
