Now I Know That Technical Thing Too

Problem: We use Librecalc to draft a pretty looking excelsheet and then we want to print it. You happily hit Ctrl + P,  just to see that the sheet has been split over multiple pages to print. What do you do now? For starters, you continue reading this post. 1. Go to 'Format' in the Menu bar, Go to 'Page', Choose 'Landscape' and set other borders etc. incase you wanna change that 2. Now under, 'Sheet' in the same window, look at this section 'Scale'. Choose 'Fit print range(s) on number of pages' and keep 'Number of pages' as 1. And we are done! And we are done here. Now when you print and choose Landscape orientation, you can see in the preview that the whole sheet is now printing on a single page.

So I am a big fan of Spotify for various reasons. However, one thing that always confused me was how such a great product can have such a shabby shuffle mechanism. Well, looks like I ( as well as plenty of people across the globe) are doing it wrong or atleast I have some steps I can use to workaround this issue.  Here is what we do when we start a playlist. Choose Playlist Click on 'Play' Press the 'Shuffle' button and expect it to 'Shuffle' and play songs. There is actually one more thing we have to do. Go to 'Queue' once the playlist starts playing. Press 'Shuffle' and see the songs shuffle in the queue. If you feel you haven't shuffled enough you can press 'shuffle' a couple of times and you will see a different sequence each time. Enjoy Shuffling! I tried this on my Ubuntu 20 with Spotify 1.1 Desktop App, but it will be same for any browser based Spotify as well.

Problem: The fonts on the Chrome (Version 90) title window as well Chrome UI looks big compared to Mozilla Firefox on the same machine. Or even other window titles and UI on the same machine. There are no direct settings to manage this in Chrome and we changing the settings in Ubuntu will mess up other windows on the system too, making the fonts look smaller. So what we will do is set a property for scaling the UX font while launching the google chrome executable. My system details are as follows, Chrome Version 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build) (64-bit) Os Version Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Do the following, sudo vim /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop You can even replace vim with any editor of your choice like, sudo kate /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop OR sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop Now search for the word 'Exec' This is what it looks like, Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable Change this to Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --force-...
