Shorty, as the name suggests, lets you create simple shortcuts on your Android device. The app essentially lets you pin URLs, files, photos, texts, etc. to your home screen, so that you can have them ready at all times. It’s really handy.

Shorty allows you to pin any file from your phone or URL link to the home application. Simply install Shorty and share some file or text from any application.

Depending on the file type you can also customize the appearance of the icon. There are three possible icon styles:
• text - write up to 10 characters,
• thumbnail - depends on the type of file,
• preview - currently supported only for images.

You can also pick icon background color and write custom label which will be displayed in your home app.

To use this app, simply share the desired item with the app. Then head over to the app to create a shortcut. Once done, you’ll see that the shortcut shows up on the home screen like an app icon, which you can then move around. Obviously, the app is not for everyone but surely gets the job done.

How to Zip (and Unzip) Files on Windows 10

The ZIP file format reduces the size of files by compressing them, saving disk space, and reducing network transfer times. It also allows you to combine several files into a single one that's easy to share with others. Here's how to zip and unzip files on Windows 10. How to Create a Zip File (Compressed Folder) First, open File Explorer and locate the files or folders you'd like to compress and combine into a Zip file. Windows refers to a Zip file as a "compressed folder," so the terms are interchangeable in this case. We'll be using a group of image files as an example, but you can zip any type of file. If it's a single file or folder you'd like to compress, right-click it and a menu will pop up. Click "Send to," and then click "Compressed (Zipped) Folder." You can also select multiple files or folders in Explorer, and then follow the same steps above to compress them simultaneously. Windows compresses the fi...

DeepCool launches frameless RGB fans that you can control over Wi-Fi

You can use your smartphone to adjust the speed and lighting of these fans. Fans are not overly complicated for fancy devices. They have blades that spin and push (or pull) air, and some of them light up. DeepCool has taken things a step further, however, by designing frameless RGB smart fan set that hooks into your wireless network. DeepCool's new MF120 set comes with three fans and a controller for them to plug into to. Using a free app that is available for Android and iOS, you can then connect to the controller and cycle through five built-in lighting effects (dynamic, static, breathing, comet, and fashion collision) and 36 interchangeable lighting modes, and also adjust the speed. We're not sure there is a whole lot of utility for controlling your case's fans with your smartphone, but if that's something you want to do, there you go. The fans themselves are uniquely designed. They're frameless in the sense that they don't sit enclosed in a traditional fra...

Windows 10 Will Soon Show Edge Browser Tabs in Alt+Tab

Alt+Tab is useful for switching between windows, but it can't help you find that browser tab you had open in one of your windows. Soon, Windows 10 will show all your open Edge browser tabs alongside your windows. When this change is available, you can just use the new Microsoft Edge browser normally. When you Alt+Tab , all your browser tabs will appear as their own thumbnail—as if they were their own browser windows. Microsoft Don't like this? That's fine. Microsoft says you can disable it from Settings > System > Multitasking. You can also set it to only show your last three or five browser tabs so tab overload doesn't swamp your Alt+Tab switcher, too. This feature is just for Microsoft Edge right now, but we could easily see it coming to other web browsers. Edge is based on the same Chromium code that forms the basis for Chrome, for example—Google might enable this feature in Google Chrome, too. It's easy to see Mozilla Firefox taking advant...
