When is this needed?
When Chrome is not using hardware acceleration

To verify if Chrome is using hardware acceleration type in chrome://gpu/. If it says 

Canvas: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable

Then is clear that Chrome is not using hardware acceleration. To enable hardware acceleration 

Search for "hardware" and tick the checkbox for "Use hardware acceleration..." in chrome://settings
Enable "Override software rendering list" in chrome://flags/


Relaunch Chrome. type in chrome://gpu/. If the message has changed to

Canvas: Hardware accelerated

Then Chrome is using hardware acceleration.

12. Number of raster threads
Specify the number of raster threads. #num-raster-threads = 4

13. Tab audio muting UI control 
When enabled, the audio indicators in the tab strip double as tab audio mute controls. This also adds commands in the tab context menu for quickly muting multiple selected tabs. #enable-tab-audio-muting - This settings is amazing. It lets me mute a tab with embedded videos so that I can continue reading without wasting time looking for the exact location of the sound source.

21. chrome://media-engagement/
This page will show the frequency of visit to the video streaming sites. It also logs visits to sites you do not want to be logged. So that's some motivation to stay off the sites with amorous content.

Fastest way to send multiple drafts from gmail

By
People claim that the fastest way to send multiple email drafts is to use Gmail IMAP with email client like Outlook or Evolution or Thunderbird. But I have found this is not true. Because Thunderbird and Evolution etc. email clients treats the drafts as emails still to be edited. So it is not just simple select all and hit send. Each email draft has to be opened and sent separately. That is a lot of clicks and mouse movements, wasting precious time and energy. I have a better solution which involves minimum keystrokes and mouse usage. Efficiency booster technique for sending emails. If someone is feeling adventurous and want to try it from the Gmail interface itself, here's how to do it in the fastest possible manner. It involves using the mouse once. Select the first draft. Gmail would open a new email box and put the cursor inside the box to write. Press TAB once to go the Send button. Press ENTER to send. Now Gmail sends it and the box is gone but the highlight goes to the last

Changing the font size of section headings in LaTex

By
You have several ways to do so: 1.- A direct redefinition of \section: \makeatletter \renewcommand\section{\@startsection{section}{1}{\z@}%                                   {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%                                   {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%                                   {\normalfont\large\bfseries}} \makeatother 2.- By means of the titlesec package: \usepackage{titlesec} \titleformat{\section}{\large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{} 3.- By means of the sectsty package: \usepackage{sectsty} \sectionfont{\large} source : http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3245   Now, I would explain the titlesec package a bit more (because it seems easier to me and with more options) : To change the section fonts with this package put the following lines in the preamble - \usepackage{titlesec} \titleformat{\ section }{\ large \ bfseries }{\thesection}{1em}{} Options available are- a> Font size - \normals
