透過啟用ahci加速windows 7

Paul writes in with the following tip for increasing the speed of Windows 7:

Like so much that is really useful, I stumbled on this by pure happenstance. Looking for a way to change the Windows 7 logon screen, I stumbled on this piece of advice:

ACHI is a way to speed hard disk operati*** devised by Intel. It is available on most computers and hard drives built after 2007. If the Windows 7 install was done on a computer that had a previous operating system or on a new one whose BIOS is set to IDE standard (as most are) then Windows will limit the drive speed to IDE. To remedy this and really speed disk access, you have to modify the Registry, then the BIOS. Here how you do it, courtesy of a helpful forum member at the Guru3D forums:

To answer that question (and I do this safely with all Intel ICHR9/10 chipsets) there is a way to safely enable AHCI mode. Here we go: 1. Startup “Regedit 2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlset / Services 3. Open msahci 4. In the right field left click on “start” and go to Modify 5. In the value Data field enter “0” and click “ok” 6. exit “Regedit” 7. Reboot Rig and enter BIOS (hold “Delete” key while Booting In your BIOS select “Integrated Peripherals” and OnChip PATA/SATA Devices. Now change SATA Mode to AHCI from IDE. You now boot into windows 7, the OS will recognize AHCI and install the devices. Now the system needs one more reboot and voilla .. enjoy the improved SSD performance.

謝謝保羅！雖然這樣做的結果在很大程度上取決於您正在處理的特定晶片組/HDD組合，但大多數人報告說，在最壞的情況下，速度會有小幅度的提高，而在最好的情況下，速度會有大幅度的提高，因此，嘗試一下沒有什麼壞處。像往常一樣，在你的登錄檔裡亂搞之前先備份一下！

將android裝置用作powerpoint/openoffice演示工具

I’m always looking for ways to cut down on the junk I have to carry with me to give presentati***. I had a single-purpose wireless clicker (just a little hand remote that went to a wireless dongle you plugged into the computer) but that was yet one more thing I had to carry. Since I already have an Android phone on me at all times I tried out a bunch of free apps that could connect to my laptop via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or both. I settled on Remote PowerPoint. There’s a free and a premium version (the premium version is $2). Honestly I have no idea what the difference is, I downloaded the free version and it does everything I want it to do. I fire up my laptop, I run the little server app on my laptop, connect via Bluetooth from my phone to the laptop, and then I can click back and forth between the slides. It’s pretty awesome, I don’t even use all the available features! I’m including a link to a video dem***tration of it.

很高興找到安德魯，作為PowerPoint和Android的使用者，我們期待著它的出現。

用電源毛巾管整理電線

迪倫寫了以下組織提示：

I’ve tried everything to organize the bulkier cords around my workshop. Using wire ties is a pain, zip ties are a waste of money since you have to slice them off, plastic bags are a hassle. Years ago online I saw pictures of people using old paper towel tubes, but that seemed impractical unless you had some sort of wire-tube wine rack thing to shove them all in. Then the other day on Reddit I saw a photo, attached to my email, of a guy who had taken the tube idea and used a cardboard banker’s box to organize all the tubes/bundles. Brilliant! The way he did it makes it so easy to see exactly what you’re looking for and keeps everything tidy at the same time. I immediately did it and now all my bulky cables (extra monitor cables, power cables, short extension cords, etc.) are all tidy and in a single box.

像你一樣，我們已經把整個紙巾管的事情都解決了，因為聽起來你只是用一堆繩子換了一堆填充的紙巾管。這絕對是一個進步。謝謝你的來信！
