Greetings YAA readers! Today I will, with super speed, go over the top five pieces of freeware you need to have on your computer.
1. F.lux
Eyes tired? This program uses your GPS location to determine what your current light levels are outside, and dims/tints the screen according to the time. Hello marathon gaming!
2. Wizmouse
In a nutshell, wizmouse fixes your scroll wheel to make it work the way scroll wheels should. With wizmouse installed, the scroll wheel will affect any window underneath your mouse, even if the window is in the background. Perfect for research projects or if you’re like me and have some six hundred thousand windows open all at the same time.
3. Dropbox
Backup all your files automatically on an online server that can be accessed from anywhere.
4. CCleaner
CCleaner removes unwanted files from your system by clearing various browser caches and emptying the recycling bin. It also contains a fully featured registry cleaner and an uninstall wizard (for uninstalling other programs). I’ve probably gotten rid of over 100 GB worth of stuff over the past half year using this.
5. Autohotkey
Autohotkey basically allows you to make custom hotkeys for just about anything on windows. It does require a little bit of basic coding but there are free premade hotkey packs all over the internet available for download and built in tutorials. Using Autohotkey, you can launch a browser, open your mail, send an email, switch songs, and much more, all with hotkeys.
I’ll be back next week with more top tech lists.
Speedy out!
