The core of this incredible project is a Raspberry Pi Zero. Pi, often cited as the world’s smallest consumer computer, is a powerhouse for indie designers and developers, and in Brandon’s case it provided the base for his nostalgic recreation of a beloved classic. Combined with a 3D printed television set that looks just like the one that the Simpsons gather in front of before every episode, a bit of soldering, and a few lines of clever code, Brandon’s project is every nostalgic fan’s dream. And yes, in case you were wondering, it is a full functional TV, and that means sound as well — set one of these up on your desktop and you’re guaranteed to get in a lot of laughs and absolutely no work for the whole day (just like Homer!)

Brandon says that it takes him about 13 hours to build one of these little telvisions from start to finish, including the time it takes to 3D print the case on his Ender 3 Pro, and he offers a few additional upgrade options for even more epic TV realism if you’re looking for a challenge (such as ensuring gapless playback of episodes, adding transitions between episodes, and even inserting a little station logo in the bottom corner of the screen).

For those of you who think this is awesome but don’t feel up to making one from scratch, Brandon is offering a limited time raffle of ten mini-TVs, the proceeds of which will all go to a number of awesome charities. So, not only could you have the chance to own an iconic and working replica of television history, but you’ll also be helping make the world better at the same time! Note that these special raffle TVs don’t come pre-loaded with anything — you’ll have to load on your own content, but getting to personalize your mini-TV with your own shows is certain to be half the fun!

Brandon has undertaken a number of other super-cool projects as well, from a 360 VR camera, to a solar tracker, to an absolutely gorgeous van conversion. Check them all out on his website, and maybe get inspired to dive into some projects of your own!

Open Start and type “regedit.” Alternatively, you can type “regedit” into the search function on your toolbar.

Use the left toolbar to navigate to the “Current Version” folder in the Registry.

Create a new Key under Current Version and label it “Quiet Hours.”

Right click on the “Quiet Hours” Key you’ve just created, and click New > DWORD (32 bit) Value. Name the first value “EntryTime.” Create a second DWORD Value and name it “ExitTime.”

EntryTime will dictate the start of your quiet hours, while ExitTime will dictate the end of your quiet hours.

Double click “EntryTime” to edit it, and make sure the “decimal” option is selected. In the value data box, enter the number of minutes after midnight you’d like your quiet hours to start (i.e. for 2am you’ll enter 120, for 3am > 180, and so on).

Double click “ExitTime” and make the same edits, once again noting how many minutes after midnight you’d like your quiet hours to end (8am=480, 9am=540, etc.).

Once you’ve entered the start and end times for your quiet hours, you’re free to close the Registry Editor! These changes will happen automatically, there’s no need to restart your PC.

Congratulations! You’ve now manually set your quiet hours to temporarily mute all notifications.

To help those who manage multiple Google Forms, the formLimiter add-on makes it easy to stop allowing responses. While I think it’s something that should be already implemented into Google Workspace, this add-on automatically sets Google Forms to stop accepting responses after a specific condition is met. This could be a maximum number of responses, a specific date and time, or when a spreadsheet’s cell contains a specific value (which is perfect for online contests).

★★★★☆ 4.6/5

Google Forms is used for a variety of data gathering tasks that mimic the uses of popular data management tools like QuickBooks or SurveyMonkey. The Form Publisher add-on lets you turn that data submission into more professional and easy to read documents. With Google Forms, documents are generated with each form submission. In Google Sheets, you can mass generate documents in bulk! Streamline business processes, so you spend more time on other tasks! Generate and send invoices, quotes, certificates, or any other document you can dream of. Plus, you can export to a PDF or to Microsoft Office products. There are a multitude of other features, so we highly recommend this add-on!

★★★★☆ 4.4/5

If your profession requires you to proctor exams or skill assessments, you need this add-on.

AutoProctor is an add-on that does more than you’d think. Not only does it add a countdown timer at the top of a form, but it also checks for cheating. It’s fully customizable so that proctors can maintain the integrity of a test without having to physically be near. Once the test duration time has ended, users will no longer be able to access the form. AutoProctor checks the user’s environment and actions for cheating, such as, detecting more than one face or opening up a different tab. It tracks each trigger and documents it so that it can be manually reviewed later. Each user is also assigned a Trust Score based on how many alerts they’ve received!

★★★★☆ 4.7/5

This is a great add-on to use within an organization or with consulting work. Form Approvals allows for a form to send its information or data to specified users based on specific conditions.

Preheat your over to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Spray your baking dish with cooking spray being careful to coat the sides, too.

Crack your eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl. Mix generously with a fork until combined. The more you mix, the fluffier your eggs will be.

Dice your red onions and spinach.

Mix in your diced red onion, feta cheese, and chopped spinach with your eggs. Once all of your ingredients are incorporated, pour them into your baking dish.

Bake your eggs for around 25 minutes or until the top starts to turn golden and brown.

Place your sausages on a nonstick baking sheet and bake them for 5-10 minutes at 365 degrees F (190 degrees C).

You can also use bacon, ham, or any meat you please.

Remember: Have a separate timer for your eggs and your meat. While they can bake at the same temperature, they won’t bake for the same length of time.

Once you remove your sausage (or meat of choice) from the oven, place them to the side to cool.

Pro tip: You can also cook them on your stovetop if you want to cook them during the eggs!

Once your eggs have finished cooking, turn your oven to broil. Allow it to heat up for at least 5 minutes.

Slice your English muffins in half and lay them with their inside-up on the baking sheet.

Broil them for 5-10 minutes, or until they reach desired toastiness.

Once you remove them from the oven, spread a thin layer of butter on each muffin.

Pro tip: Once your sausage has finished cooking, you can place it aside and use the same baking sheet for your English muffins. I’m all about minimizing the number of dishes you have to do at the end.

While you’re preparing the individual parts of the breakfast sandwich, you’ll run into a few periods of downtime between baking and broiling. You can use that time to prepare your sandwich wrappers!

Start by cutting your parchment paper into roughly 8×8 inch squares. Since these don’t have to be precise, you can eyeball the size.

Dampen paper towels by running them underwater and ringing excess water from them once they’re completely saturated.

Lay one sheet of parchment paper down before layering it with one sheet of paper towel.

Repeat this six times.

Now that you have everything cooked, you’re ready to assemble your sandwiches.

Carefully remove your egg from the pan and slice it into 6 squares, creating little egg patties.

On one side of your English muffin, set down your sliced cheese, one egg patty, and your sausage. Top with the other side of your English muffin.

Wrap your sandwiches first in the damp paper towel. Then wrap the parchment around the paper towel. Repeat this until each sandwich is individually wrapped before you store them in an airtight container.

These will keep up to one month in the freezer, but we both know they won’t last that long!

When you’re ready to enjoy your creation, remove one sandwich from the freezer and remove the parchment paper, leaving the paper towel on.

On a microwave safe plate, microwave your sandwich on high for 2-3 minutes. Allow the sandwich to cool 1 minute before enjoying!

Preheat your over to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Automatically offloading apps is the easiest way to offload apps on your iOS product. However, it comes with a few setbacks. For example, since the iPhone or other iOS product is offloading apps automatically, it may offload apps you don’t want it to offload. Though it offloads apps you’re not regularly using, that doesn’t mean it’s offloading apps you want it to offload or that you no longer need.

Luckily, the apps are offloaded, not deleted, which removes all data from the device. Remember, offloading is a safer way to save space taken up by your apps versus deleting them.

How to automatically offload apps:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click “App Store.”
3. Turn on “offload unused apps” by clicking the toggle to the right hand side.

If you want to determine exactly how much space you will be saving when turning the automatic offloading feature on, consider trying the alternate option below.

Alternatively:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click “general.”
3. Click “iPhone storage.” If you are using another iOS device, it may say “iPod storage” or “iPad storage.”
4. Click “enable” next to offload unused apps.

You’ll notice that it shows you how many MB or GB will be saved with automatically offloading apps.

If you prefer not to automatically offload apps, you can choose to manually offload individual apps. By offloading individual apps, you can avoid your iPhone offloading apps you would prefer it didn’t. The only down side is that it may take more time since you have to offload each app that you wish to offload manually.

How to offload apps:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click “general.”
3. Click “iPhone storage.” If you are using another iOS device, it may say “iPod storage” or “iPad storage.”
4. Take a look at the apps. The list is in order from top to bottom based on use and size. So, the higher the app on the list, the more space it’s taking on your product, but the more often it’s being used.
5. Click an app you would like to offload. Note the size of the app versus the size of the app data. The app data is the amount of data that will remain on your device.
6. Click “offload app.”
7. Click “offload app” again.

Continue these steps until you have enough storage on your iOS device to do all the things you love!
