360 Security Guard Extreme Edition (System Security)

Even in 2022, some people still think that 360 Security Guard is a rubbish thing, and only Xiaobai can use it. How should I put it, anyway, most of the problems encountered by most people, such as advertisements, automatic software installation, etc., have not been encountered during my intensive computer use in the past 5 years. On the contrary, they have solved nearly 80% of my computer problems. question. (Just to make a statement, it’s not floor scrubbing, it’s really easy to use, and I would never recommend junk software like 360 ​​Browser. Last time, the school system had to use 360 ​​Browser to transfer files, and then I downloaded it, and then ... It took a lot of time to uninstall and delete the software it secretly downloaded for me, and I couldn't figure out what the school's technicians were thinking, speechless.) Of course, it takes a few minutes to do
some settings . It is said that the newly launched Extreme Edition is ad-free, and the functions are not castrated, so I installed the Extreme Edition on the new machine (it is said that the two are only UI changes). In fact, in terms of security, the Windows built-in Defencer should be enough, and I saw that the Y9000P comes with a Lenovo computer housekeeper, but I opened it and looked at it. There are many functions but limited.

Features:

• System backup restore
• Acceleration ball (acceleration and network speed module)
• pop-up filter

Coodesker (desktop partition)

Due to the conflict between Fence and win11 of my new machine, from time to time it will cause the explorer to restart infinitely. I tried various methods on the Internet, but all failed, so I had to reluctantly uninstall it (I bought a genuine license, unfortunately. up). Finally found its replacement - Cool Desktop, made by domestic developers, seems to be the benchmark Fence, it can be said that it is almost the same as the re-enactment, it is quite simple, and it is free, and it will not conflict with explorer. Very nice.

Features:

• Lightweight, self-starting almost does not affect the boot speed

• Double click to close icon

3) Production related

Google Chrome (web surfing)

I said Chrome is the best browser to use, who is for and who is against?
Especially the Google account synchronization function and powerful plug-in environment are very nice.

One-click installation, nothing to say, only a few suggestions:

1. It is recommended to uninstall the Lenovo browser that comes with the system;
2. It is strongly recommended to set it as the default browser;
3. It is strongly recommended to use its account synchronization function;
4. It is strongly recommended to migrate Chrome to a non-system disk.

Supplement : Migrate Chrome to a non-system disk
Since there is no custom installation option during the installation process, it will be installed directly to the C drive. In order to ensure the capacity of the C drive, it is recommended to move it to the D drive. You can refer to this article to move the chrome installation directory and related personal data directories and create a symbolic link . I created a soft link, so there is an extra "/J". The specific command is as follows:

mklink /J "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome" "D:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome"
mklink /J "C:\Users\WooChi\AppData\Local\Google" "D:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\PersonalData\Google"

Note that you don’t need to create a new folder after cutting and pasting. Run cmd as an administrator . Don’t use **Windows terminal (administrator), that thing is useless.

ToDesk (remote control)

Originally, I used to be a Sunflower user, but the computer in my laboratory can’t be controlled by Sunflower . Frequent mouse clicks do not respond, but remote file transfer is barely usable. Maybe my account is limited. In short, I fell into the arms of ToDesk , um, it smells so good.

• Advantages, you can log in directly with your social account, and you can skip the binding of your mobile phone number. The function is almost the same as that of Sunflower. The full-screen mode is very easy to use when remote control, and the speed is also fast. When the full-screen remote control is turned on, the delay is so low that I once recognized the controlled computer as the control computer.
• However, I also found a small shortcoming, that is, after the new device logs into the account, the new device will not display the new device immediately, and the new device needs to be restarted on the old device to find the new device.

QQ | WeChat | Tencent Conference (Social Communication)

Tencent series three, not much to say, remember to customize the installation to the D drive, if you are lazy, you can directly choose to change the first letter C in the installation path to D. (There is also QQ music to be installed)

Zotero (Literature Management)

I didn’t use document management software before, but I used NoteExpress during my undergraduate studies. The experience was mediocre. Until I had to use document management software, I found it to be quite good and easy to use. And my doctor brother also said that this is very useful. The online literature library can be synchronized, and can be used with the chrome plug-in to manage literature very quickly.

3. Environment configuration

Anaconda

Virtual environment migration across devices

Because there were too many third-party libraries downloaded in the Anaconda virtual environment on the previous device, and the environment was just built not long ago, so this time I plan to migrate it directly. The actual operation is actually very simple. Copy the entire virtual environment folder under the envs directory under the Anaconda installation directory of the original device to the envs file under the Anacodna installation directory of the new device, and you are done.
