Find Wi-Fi Password for Other Devices on Mac

One unique thing Macs can do that other computers can’t is remember all of your passwords and vividly recall them back to you using an Apple feature called Keychain. 

The built-in software that accompanies Keychain is called Keychain Access, wherein the lot of your private details are stored. You’d be surprised, but the area this comes in handy the most is with Wi-Fi connections.

If you ever find yourself in an unfamiliar place, or even if you’ve just forgotten your own Wi-Fi password, you can use Keychain Access on your Mac to find it. 

The process is straightforward: open up Keychain Access by searching for it in Spotlight, search the name of the connection and double-click the iCloud Keychain corresponding to the SSID you’re looking for.

From there, click ‘Show password’ and enter the Keychain password that you set earlier. You’ll then be greeted by the elusive Wi-Fi password that you’re far too anxious to ask for. For future reference, however, it’s healthy to talk to people.

Prisma Photo Editor Review

You may be understandably skeptical about apps that claim to replicate artistic styles, and it makes sense, the 'traditional media' filters included many android photo  editors are downright terrible. Prismais the exception, and once you’ve tried it, we think you’ll be convinced. Take your pick from a selection of different drawing styles and your photo will be transformed into a surprisingly convincing illustration.  Sliding your finger over the filtered image will blend it into your original photo , and you can tweak each filter to suit your picture, adjusting the vignette, vibrance, saturation, color temperature and more. Although additional filters are available as in-app purchases (these are marked with a padlock), there’s a generous selection included free of charge. You can share your creations on a special Prisma feed, which works in a similar way to Instagram, save it to your device, send it via messaging or email, or share it on any social media app.

Do Unit Conversions in Spotlight on Mac

So, everyone knows that you can do basic calculations in Spotlight, but beginning with macOS High Sierra, you can take that a step further: unit conversions. You can do specific unit conversions if the need arises, say, “13 stone in pounds” but, you can also just type in the amount and unit you want to convert, and your Mac will suggest not just the likely conversion, but also a handful of alternatives. Type in '$1299' and you'll immediately be told what that is in pounds Sterling (based presumably on what's set as your native currency in the Language & Region pane of System Preferences), and then when the window folds down to show more results, you'll see Euros, Yen and so on.

Google Snapseed Review - Photo Editor

Google Snapseed might have come pre-installed on your Android phone, but if not, it's well worth installing because it's one of the most powerful photo editors in the Google Play Store and it's completely free. Not only does Snapseed offer all the essential tools for cropping, rotating, and adjusting brightness and contrast in your photos, it's also packed with more advanced options that you'd normally expect to find in desktop photo editors. There's a dehazing tool for removing fog, smart noise reduction (great for photos taken in low light), perspective correction, selective blurring, a healing tool for correcting blemishes, and lots more. You'll need to log in using Google, Facebook or an Adobe ID, but none of Snapseed's tools are hidden behind a paywall. It's a full digital darkroom in your pocket.
