| How to Check Your Hard Disk Space Posted: 12 Jul 2018 01:00 AM PDT This wikiHow teaches you how to see how much storage space remains on your computer or smartphone. This process is different than checking memory usage, which typically refers to a computer's RAM (random access memory). EditOn Windows - Open Start . Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
- You can also press to open Start.
- Open Settings . Click the gear-shaped icon in the lower-left side of the Start menu.
- Click . It's a computer-shaped icon on the Settings page.
- If Settings opens to a page other than the main Settings page, click the "Back" button in the top-left corner of the window until the "Back" button disappears.
- Click the tab. This option is in the upper-left side of the Display page.
- Review your hard drive's space usage. Below the "Local storage" heading at the top of the page, you'll see an image of your hard drive with "Number used" and a "Number free" categories below it. The "Number used" section tells you how much of your computer's hard drive is being used, while the "Number free" section tells you how much free space remains.
- Open your hard disk. Click the hard disk icon below the "Local storage" heading. This will open a comprehensive list that shows you how much space specific file types, programs, and so on are taking up, which will help you target areas for clean-up if you want to free up some hard drive space.
- Open the Apple menu . Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear.
- Click . It's at the top of the drop-down menu. Doing so opens a new window.
- Click the tab. This option is at the top of the "About This Mac" window.
- Review your Mac's hard drive space. In the upper-right side of the window, you'll see the amount of storage remaining out of the total available storage on your computer (e.g., "15 GB free of 249 GB").
- You can see a color-coded breakdown of which programs are taking up the most space on this page as well.
- If you hover over a color-coded section, you can see exactly how much space the section's pertaining files (e.g., "Apps") are taking up.
EditOn iPhone - Open your iPhone's Settings. This app is grey with gears on it. You'll likely find it on the Home Screen.
- Tap General. It's near the top of the Settings page.
- Tap . This option is near the bottom of the screen.
- Review your iPhone's used and available storage. In the top-right side of the screen, you'll see "Number GB of Number GB Used" (e.g., "45 GB of 128 GB Used"). The first number pertains to the amount of space on your iPhone that's being used, while the second number pertains to your iPhone hard drive's total space.
- Subtracting the "Used" number from the total number will tell you how much available space your iPhone currently has.
- You can scroll down to see exactly how much hard drive space each app is currently using.
EditOn Android - Open your Android's Settings . This gear-shaped app is typically found in the App Drawer.
- You can also swipe down from the top of the screen and then tap the gear-shaped icon in the drop-down menu.
- Tap . It's in the "Device" section of the Settings menu.
- On a Samsung, you'll instead tap Apps.
- Review your Android's storage space. At the top of the screen, you should see "X GB Used of Y GB" (e.g., "8.50 GB Used of 32 GB"). You can also view a breakdown of how much space each item on your Android is using on this page.
- On a Samsung, you must first swipe right to the SD card tab.
- Your item's available hard drive space will always be less than was advertised. This is because a portion of the hard drive is used for the operating system and required files.
- If you're trying to clear space on your computer, note that you cannot change your hard disk space simply by dragging files into your trash; you must empty the trash to make more space.
- If your hard drive is full, you'll need to delete files or programs before you can add more to the hard drive.
- Traditional hard drives will always run slower than optimal speed if they're over halfway full. Solid State Drives don't have this problem.

| How to Play Bingo Posted: 11 Jul 2018 05:00 PM PDT Bingo is a fun game of chance that anyone can play. The game is played on a scorecard that's made up of 25 squares — if you get 5 squares in a row, you win! EditSample Bingo Cards EditSetting up Bingo - Get at least 1 scorecard for each player. Bingo scorecards have 25 randomly numbered squares on them, with the word "BINGO" written across the top. Your goal is to cover 5 of those squares in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row.[1]
- You can find Bingo scorecards online at your local hobby store.
- If you're playing Bingo with kids, you can print blank Bingo scorecards from off the internet and write in your own words, symbols, or pictures in the squares.
- Explain to everyone how the game's letter-number combinations work. In standard Bingo, there are 75 different letter-number combinations. Each letter-number combination corresponds with a square on the scorecards. [2]
- For example, all of the numbers in the "B" column on the scorecard correspond with "B" letter-number combinations. If the caller chooses "B-9," you would look for the "9" square under the "B" column.
- If you're looking for a simpler version of Bingo to play with kids, you can use pictures or words instead of letter-number combinations.
- Choose a player to be the caller. In Bingo, the caller is the person that reads out the letters and numbers that determine which squares get covered on everyone's scorecards. The caller still gets to play the game with everyone else.[3]
- If you're playing at a Bingo hall, there will already be a designated caller. In that case, the caller will not be playing with everyone else.
- Pass out scorecards to all the players. Each player needs at least 1 scorecard. Players can use more than 1 scorecard, as long as they can keep track of all the letters and numbers on the different cards.[4]
- Playing with multiple scorecards increases your chances of winning, but it's trickier since you have more squares to keep track of.
- When you're playing with multiple scorecards, it's possible to win on more than one scorecard in the same game.
- Give each player a pile of Bingo chips. Bingo chips are what players will use to cover the squares on their scorecards. Any small objects will work as Bingo chips, as long as they can fit inside the squares on the scorecards.
- You can use poker chips, coins, or even small pieces of paper as Bingo chips.
- Place a chip on the square in the center of your scorecard. In Bingo, the square in the center of everyone's scorecard is considered a free space. Everyone starts out with 1 chip over that space.[5]
- Give the caller the letters and numbers they'll call out in the game. These letters and numbers can be written down on small pieces of paper and then folded up, or you can use actual Bingo balls that have letters and numbers on them. They just need to correspond with the letters and numbers on the scorecards.[6]
- Put the pieces of paper or Bingo balls in a bucket, bowl, or Bingo spinner so the caller can choose them at random.
- If you're playing Bingo with kids and the scorecards have pictures or words on them, give the caller corresponding pictures or words to choose from.
EditPlaying the Game - Have the caller read out a letter-number combination. The caller should grab a letter-number combination at random, without looking, and read it out loud. Have them call out the combination a few times so everyone hears it.[7]
- For example, if the caller pulls out a piece of paper or a ball that says "N-7" on it, they would say "N-7" out loud.
- If you're playing Bingo with pictures or words instead of letter-number combinations, have the caller read out the word or describe the picture to the other players.
- Place a chip on your scorecard if you have that letter and number. After the caller reads out the letter-number combination, check your scorecard to see if you have the letter and number they called out. If you do, put a chip on that square.[8]
- For example, if the caller says "G-46," you would look for the number "46" in the "G" column on your scorecard. If you have it, you'd cover that square with a chip.
- If you don't have the letter and number the caller chose, you don't have to do anything.
- Continue playing until someone gets 5 chips in a row on their scorecard. Have the caller continue to call out different letter-number combinations. Players should keep placing chips on the squares on their scorecard whenever a corresponding letter-number combination is called.
- A player wins if they get 5 covered squares in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row.
- There's no limit to how many letter-number combinations the caller reads out. They'll keep choosing new combinations until someone wins.
- Shout "Bingo" if you get 5 squares in a row. When a player gets 5 covered squares in a row on their scorecard, they should yell "Bingo" so everyone knows they won. When someone shouts "Bingo," the caller will stop choosing new letter-number combinations.[9]
- If more than 1 player shouts "Bingo" after the same letter-number combination is called out, all of those players win.
- Have everyone clear their scorecards after someone wins. Once someone has called out "Bingo" and won that round, everyone should take all the chips off their scorecards. You should always start a new game with a clear scorecard (except for the chip on the free space in the center).[10]
- Mix up all the letter-number combinations for the next game. To start a new game of Bingo, the caller will need to mix all the letter-number combinations they called during the last game back into the bucket, bowl, or spinner they're using. Always start a new game with all of the letter-number combinations mixed together.
- Don't use more scorecards than you can keep track of during the game.

| How to Protect Hair from Heat Posted: 11 Jul 2018 09:00 AM PDT Using heat on your hair is a great way to get it to take the shape you want. Unfortunately, blow-drying, flat ironing, and curling can all wreak havoc on your hair, unless you take some steps to do it right. By heat styling your hair correctly and taking some additional steps to keep your hair healthy, you can achieve the style you want with minimal damage to your hair. EditHeat Styling Your Hair - Choose a high-quality straightening or curling iron. The material your iron is made of can have a major effect on your hair. Inexpensive irons are often made with metals that fail to heat evenly. These irons can actually burn your hair.[1] Select a higher-quality straightening or curling iron made from one of the following materials:
- Ceramic
- Tourmaline
- Titanium
- Select the right size iron for your hair to help minimize damage. In general, a iron is the most versatile choice for hair of medium length and thickness.[2]
- If your hair is short, choose a smaller iron.
- If your hair is very thick or long, opt for a larger iron. This will also speed up the time it takes you to straighten your hair.
- To achieve ringlet curls, use a smaller curling iron. To achieve loose waves, use a larger curling iron.
- Apply a heat protection product prior to using heat tools. Purchase a heat protectant that contains both humectants (like panthenol and propylene glycol) and silicones (like amodimethicone and dimethicone). Together these ingredients can lock in moisture and insulate your hair from heat. Work this product through your hair before heat styling.[3]
- If you have fine/thin hair, choose a heat protectant spray.
- If you have thick/coarse hair, select a heat protectant oil, cream, or lotion.
- Dry your hair on low until it is no longer damp. Set your blow dryer to its lowest setting. Make sure your hair is completely dry before straightening or curling it.[4]
- If your hair is thick, you will need to divide it into sections. Start with 4 sections. If the sections are thick, further divide your hair.
- Adjust the temperature based on the thickness of your hair. You can avoid damaging your hair by using the lowest setting that works for your hair. If possible, choose an iron that has a digital temperature control, as opposed to just low, medium, and high settings.[5]
- Temperatures ranging from to will work for most hair types.
- Start at and gradually increase the temperature if your hair is not straightening or curling to your liking. If you have coarse, thick hair or resistant hair and you're using a low setting, you will likely need to go over your hair more than once with the flat iron. If you're using a curling iron at a temperature that is way too low for your hair's texture, you will likely need to let it sit for longer than 3-5 seconds to ensure that the curl is as tight as you desire.
- Avoid setting your iron higher to .
- Larger irons are more likely to have temperature controls. If yours doesn't, check the box it came in for its max heat.
- Heat your hair in small sections. To minimize damage, you want to curl/straighten your hair a little bit at a time. Using small sections allows you to maintain heat contact for shorter intervals. As a general guideline, you should never leave a heat tool against your hair for longer than 3-5 seconds.[6]
- Iron each piece of hair once. You may think you need to run your curling/straightening iron over your hair several times. This is not the correct method, and it can really damage your hair. If you are using the correct temperature and dividing your hair in small enough sections, you should only need to run the iron over each piece one time.[7]
EditKeeping Your Hair Healthy Overall - Take breaks from heat styling at least once a week. One of the best ways to protect your hair from heat damage is to take days off from your blow dryer and curling/straightening irons. Let your hair air-dry and recover at least 1 day a week.[8]
- Applying heat to your hair everyday will cause damage. After you've used heat 1-2 times during a single week, find alternatives for the rest of the week to minimize damage, such as using rollers.
- Deep condition your hair once a week. Heat styling pulls moisture out of your hair. This dryness is what leads to heat damage. Minimize the negative effects of heat styling by using a deep conditioner once a week.[9]
- Apply a traditional deep conditioner after you shampoo. Wait anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes (following package instructions), and rinse with cool water. Some products may be left on overnight.
- Opt for a leave-in conditioner if you are prone to split ends or breakage. Read package instructions; some products should be applied to wet hair and others to dry hair.
- Consult your stylist for advice. If you are unsure about the best tools, products, or techniques for you to use, make an appointment for a consultation with your stylist. A professional can offer you tips about what to buy and how to best style your hair.[10]
