DP-203 tricks - Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure Updated: 2024

This one may seem like a no-brainer, but which font you use in Microsoft Word can make all the difference. In most scenarios, you want to use a professional font style and a standard font size for all your documents. Something easy to read. The last thing you want is an entire document written in Comic Sans or another font that screams unprofessionalism.

The standard is either an 11 or 12-point font, ensuring you have enough room to write while maintaining an easy-to-read professional style. As for the font style, Times New Roman is, without a doubt, the go-to font for any printed document, while Arial is the number one option for digital writing. If, for some reason, neither is available, Georgia and Calibri are great substitutes, respectively. Follow these steps to change your font in Microsoft Word:

1. Open a Word document.
2. Click the Home tab.
3. In the Font section, click the font name to change it.
4. Next to the font name, click the number to adjust the size.

You can change the font style, size, and color, but it's best to leave it black, as something extravagant could be hard to read. If you want to use multiple fonts, highlight a section of text and select a new font. This will change the selected text while leaving the rest of the document in the default style.

You can quickly access the Edge Chromium Settings either by using “edge://settings/” in the URL or click on the three dots and then click on settings. I have also highlighted the direct path for each of the settings for quicker access.

1] Enable Dark Mode

The default is set to the light theme, but you can change it to Dark or use System mode. The latter will automatically enable dark mode when you use Dark Mode in Windows 10.

• Go to Settings > Appearance > Theme (edge://settings/appearance)
• Click on the dropdown, and choose Dark.
• It will instantly enable Dark mode without a restart.

2] Force Dark Mode for Web Contents

If you want to force websites to become dark, you can force it using a flag—Force Dark Mode for Web Contents. It works on Chrome as well because of the Chromium Engine.

• Use edge://flags to open the settings.
• Search Force Dark Mode for Web Contents
• When you find it, enable it using the dropdown
• Restart browser.

You should know that when you force a website to change, it is possible that some of the text will not be visible to you. Chromium Engine offers different ways to force dark mode. Experiment with them to find what works for you. There are various ways like HSL, RGB, and so on.

3] Change default search

The default search engine in Edge Chromium is going to be Bing, but you can always change it. You can choose to create custom search engines to search on websites directly.

• Go to Settings > Privacy and services. Scroll down to find address bar (edge://settings/search)
• Under Search engine used in the address bar, click on the dropdown to change from Bing to Google.

Now every time you type on the address bar, it will search on Google. If there is another search engine you want to add, click on Manage Search Engines, and you can add based on some parameters.

You can include Google or any other search engine in the list of Edge browser. Our post on how to change Default Search to Google in Edge offers step-by-step instructions in this regard.

Read: How to find those parameters and add them.

4] Customize New Tab or Home Page

Every time you open Edge Chromium, you should see a new wallpaper as a background. It’s a signature feature of Edge that has been there for long. You get a search bar, background image, and a bunch of recently visited pages in the form of aligned boxes.

The New tab page in the Edge browser now features  4 new modes. This helps you customize the experience to fit your preferences. See ‘Change New Tab Page layout in Edge‘ to know the complete procedure.

You can change this layout by clicking on the cog icon on the right.

Apart from this, you also have On Startup option (edge://settings/onStartup), where you can choose open a new tab or Continue where you left off and open a specific page every time.

5] Customize Edge Browser

Edge offers some customization options. Visit this page if you would like to customize the Edge browser.

6] Set Multiple Homepages

A home page is the main page of a website where visitors can find hyperlinks to other pages on the site. Also, it is a web address that opens automatically when you launch the web browser. Here, you can set your favorite website, blog or search engine as your home page or you can set a blank page too. Like all web browsers, the new Edge too, lets you configure multiple homepages. Just access ‘Settings and more‘ menu > ‘Settings’ > ‘On startup‘ > ‘Open a specific page or pages‘ > ‘Add a new page‘.

Then, enter the URL of the homepage and you are good to go!

TIP: You can edit an Image using built-in Image Editor Tool of Microsoft Edge

7] Manage Passwords and AutoFill

Just like Chrome and Firefox, Microsoft Edge Chromium offers its inbuilt password manager that can sync across devices. Edge is also available on Android and iPhone.

• Navigate to Settings > Profiles and click on Passwords (edge://settings/passwords)
• Here you can search for saved passwords, export passwords, view, and delete them. There is no way to edit.
• If you do not want to use this feature  or secure it, you can
  • Toggle off option where Edge asks to save passwords. It will also disable autofill.
  • Turn off the option to Sign-in automatically.

When you turn off sign-in, you will have to enter the password every time you use the password manager to sign in.

You can do away with the requirement of saving passwords manually! The process can be simplified by enabling the Form-fill option. This feature configures your browser to fill the web forms, automatically. Refer to our earlier post – Manage Passwords and Form-Fill.

8] Add a Home button

The home button in a browser is a legacy thing which used to take the user back to a new tab and open it as it has been set. It is like the house icon next to the address bar.

The Home button represents a physical button that aids the navigation by taking users directly to the Home screen (starting point of the site). It is turned off by default in Edge Chromium but you can add it anytime. See this post for more details –  add a Home button.

• Go to Settings > Appearance (edge://settings/appearance)
• Toggle on Show Home Button
• Set if you want to open a new Tab page or a URL.

9] Import favorites, passwords, history into Microsoft Edge Chromium

If you are planning to use Edge over any other browser, it would be a good idea to import settings, etc. from the old browser. The Import Feature works with Microsoft Edge (Legacy), Chrome, Firefox, and more.

• Go to Settings > Profile > Import Browser Data (edge://settings/importData)
• Select the browser from the dropdown, and select what you want to import.
• You can import favorites, saved passwords, search engines, browsing history, and Home Page.

TIP: You can also use enable and use Password Monitor.

10] Show the Favorites bar

• Click on the three-dot menu next to the profile icon.
• Navigate to Favorites > Show Favorite Bar or use Ctrl + Shift + B
• You can choose between Always, Never, or Only on new tabs. The later is useful if you do not want to access favorites from each tab.

In Edge Chromium, you have a better way to access favorites—Favorites Button. It appears at the end, and outside of the address bar. When you click on it, it will reveal all the bookmarked pages and folders. It is better to use the button as it is less intrusive.

11] Auto-Hide the address bar

Press F11 to go full-screen. The Edge address bar will auto-hide. To make it appear, simply move the mouse to the top edge.

There’s more! You might take interest in checking out some of the features of the Edge browser so that you are completely familiar with all the features of the web browser. It talks about how to Delete browsing history and cache, Share web pages, use Reading View, create Reading List, use the built-in PDF Reader, the Hub, Sync Support, Page Prediction feature, support for Dolby Audio and more. There are also some new security features in Edge you may want to take a look at. Having done this, you might want to also take a look at and configure

12] Make a Web Note

Edge is the only browser available to date that allows you to annotate a web page right on the screen and then save your markings as notes. It lets you take notes, write, highlight directly on web pages or scribble on the web. To check this, open a PDF file with Edge and you’ll see the ‘Draw‘ option below the address bar that will allow you to create WebNotes, readily.

13] Pin Edge Browser website shortcut to Taskbar

The earlier version of Edge allowed adding websites to the Start Menu. That’s not possible with the Chromium version. Instead, you can choose to Pin websites shortcut to Taskbar.

• Open the website you want to pin to Taskbar
• Click on the ellipse menu (three dots) > More tools > Pin to Taskbar
• You should see the Favicon of the website on the taskbar

Interesting to note that all these pinned websites are treated as Apps and are available under Menu > Apps > Manage Apps (edge://apps/)

14] F12 Developer Tools

n case you are interested in developing add-ons for Microsoft Edge, you might want to know about developer tools provided by Microsoft.

Click on Menu More Tools and then click on Developer Tools. You can use Ctrl + Shift + I to open it quickly.

This will automatically launch the tools undocked. As a Developer, you might be excited to use the Network tools. Use them to change User-Agent, Mode, Display, Geolocation too.

15] Open the web page in IE & Edge Legacy

If you still need to use IE for some of the websites and applications, follow this method for IE. When it comes to Edge HTML or Edge Legacy, you need to enable it manually. Once done, follow the same steps we have asked for IE.

16] Install Chrome Extensions in Edge

Since Microsoft Edge is now based on Chromium, it supports most of the Chrome extensions. You can now install extensions in Edge from outside Microsoft Store to enhance your web browsing experience. You can also install extensions from the Chrome Store.

When you visit the Chrome Extension Webstore, Edge will prompt that you can install the extension from here or any third party website. Click on Allow to enable extensions from other stores. You can also install Chrome Themes.

17] Enable and manage Data Sync in Edge Chromium

Just like Firefox and Chrome, you can sync data, profile, extensions, and passwords across browser instances. If you use Edge on multiple computers, you can sync data between them. You will have to enable it manually, so follow our guide. It is my favorite of our Edge Chromium Tips Tricks, and I am sure if you love using Edge, you will like it too.

TIP: if you middle-click the Back and Forward buttons, this action will open the site in a new tab.

18] Change default obtain location of Edge Chromium

It is best to set the obtain location separate from the default obtain folder if you obtain a lot of things at one place.

19] Edge keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are something that every browser supports. Microsoft’s browser is no exception to this rule. You can use these shortcuts to fasten your navigation process. For example, you can bookmark a website by simply hitting CTRL+D keys in combination and choose a folder to save the bookmark. See the complete list of these browser keyboard shortcuts.

20] Use Custom image option for New Tab Page in Edge

• Launch Edge
• Open New tab page
• Click on Page Settings > Page Layout
• Click on Custom> Background > Your own image
• Select Upload and select your Picture you want to be displayed
• Save and restart Edge.

21] Take a scrolling screenshot of the webpage

You can take a scrolling screenshot of the webpage you are viewing. Press CTRL+Shift+S in Edge. Then use the pointer to select the entire webpage – even the part that is below the fold.

22] Enable and use Command Palette

Command Palette feature in Edge browser (version 105 and higher) lets you perform actions that you may need in day-to-day browsing. For example, this feature lets you clear browsing data, toggle developer tools, move a tab backward, bookmark all tabs, and lots more from a single panel. Here is how to enable and use Command Palette in Microsoft Edge:

1. Type edge://flags in the address bar of Microsoft Edge and press Enter
2. On the Flags page (Experiments), there is a Command Palette setting
3. Select the Enabled option for that setting using the drop-down menu
4. Restart Microsoft Edge.

After enabling Command Palette, use the Ctrl+Shift+Space shortcut key to open the Command Palette panel. Type some keyboards in the text box and related actions will be visible.

23] Use Math Solver

Math Solver is one of the interesting features of Microsoft Edge. It helps to solve Math problems (Calculus, Arithmetic, Trigonometry, Quadratic equations, etc.) with step-by-step explanations.

To enable the Math Solver feature in Microsoft Edge:

1.  Access the Appearance category of Microsoft Edge Settings
2. There, turn on the Math Solver button.

Math Solver icon will appear on the Microsoft Edge toolbar. You can click that icon and then use the Math Solver feature in Microsoft Edge.

24] Remove Duplicate Favorites

You may have imported a lot of favorites from other browsers as well as created many bookmarks over the period of time in Microsoft Edge. And, some of those favorites might be duplicated. Thankfully, Microsoft Edge comes with a built-in option to remove duplicate favorites from a profile with the same URL and name.

For this, open the Edge browser and access a user profile. Press Ctrl+Shift+O hotkey to open the Favorites menu. There, click on the More options icon, select the Remove duplicate favorites option, and complete the process.

Microsoft has made a change to the Windows PC keyboard for the first time in 30 years.

Computers can now include a “Copilot key” – between the alt key and the left arrow key – which will open Microsoft’s artificial intelligence tools.

Windows Copilot is intended to help out with difficult or mundane tasks, such as writing or summarising lengthy emails or making an AI-generated stockimage to include in a presentation. The company calls it copilot because it is intended to assist with those tasks, and leave the user responsible for them.

The new key marks the first change to the PC keyboard since the introduction of the Windows key in 1994. That is used to bring up the start menu, though users often change its purpose or combine it with other keys for extra options.

Almost any keyboard can be used with Windows PCs, and existing keyboards will obviously not get the new key. But Microsoft’s changes to both Windows and its own hardware keyboards have often led to broad and quick changes across the market, as in the case of the Windows key.

Many upcoming computers will integrate the Copilot key, it said, including those that will be announced at the Consumer Electronics Show next week. The keyboard will be available from “late February through Spring, including on upcoming Surface devices”, it said.

Microsoft said that the new change was “another transformative moment in our journey with Windows”. It suggested that the introduction of the new Copilot key marked the beginning of the era of the “AI PC”.

“We believe it will empower people to participate in the AI transformation more easily,” it said in its announcement. “The Copilot key joins the Windows key as a core part of the PC keyboard and when pressed, the new key will invoke the Copilot in Windows experience to make it seamless to engage Copilot in your day to day”

Microsoft pointed to other work, including new software features that rely on machine learning as well as work with silicon companies to ensure that chips are optimised for artificial intelligence work.

Copilot is not yet available everywhere. If a computer cannot access it, then pressing the button will open Windows Search instead.

Within hours of millions of you unwrapping shiny new smartphones courtesy of Santa Claus, here comes a timely reminder of the dangers that lurk within, and—above all—the need for us all to take responsibility for our device security, and not rely solely on Google and Apple to keep us safe.

Just days after millions of Android users were warned to check their devices for dangerous “SpyLoan” malware-laced apps, there here comes “Xamalicious,” a new backdoor that has been distributed via multiple apps on Google’s official Play Store.

“Android/Xamalicious trojans are apps related to health, games, horoscope, and productivity,” warns McAfee in a report that hit just as the holiday period started. And while Google removed the apps from its store ahead of publication, McAffee warns Android users that “most of these apps are still available for obtain in third-party marketplaces.”

The apps are designed to trick users into agreeing to their requests for accessibility privileges, which enable apps to take control of device features normally locked down. Of all the warnings embedded in this report, this is the one which should concern you the most.

This is the second such accessibility warning for Android users inside a week. The other being the re-emergence of the “Chameleon” trojan that triggers an HTML page that again tricks users into agreeing accessibility requests, working around Android’s newly improved “restricted settings,” and in this case will then compromise a device’s biometric security to steal financial information.

“The manipulation of accessibility settings and dynamic activity launches,” warns ThreatFabric, which identified this latest iteration, “further underscore that the new Chameleon is a sophisticated Android malware strain.” But, to be clear, one that remains harmless unless users unlock the door for its sophisticated malware to infect their devices.

As for Xamalicious, the Play Store apps you need to delete immediately are listed below—remember, Google banning an app on its store doesn’t delete if from your device. And while this warning has come with obtain numbers still in the hundreds of thousands rather than millions, there will be many more installs from third-party stores, for those of you venturing onto that particularly thin ice.

Xamalicious Apps:

1. Essential Horoscope for Android
2. 3D Skin Editor for PE Minecraft
3. Logo Maker Pro
4. Auto Click Repeater
5. Count Easy Calorie Calculator
6. Sound Volume Extender
7. LetterLink
8. Numerology: Personal Horoscope & Number Predictions
9. Step Keeper: Easy Pedometer
10. Track Your Sleep
11. Sound Volume Booster
12. Astrological Navigator: Daily Horoscope & Tarot
13. Universal Calculator

Xamalicious takes a more simplistic approach to gaining its privileges, which it then uses to facilitate communication with its command and control server. Once installed, Xamalicious will send back all the device information needed to determine whether an attack is likely to yield results—hardware, OS, installed apps, location and network. It’s at this stage that it will be instructed to obtain and install the malicious code it will use to take control of the device or trigger background activity.

Although the newly discovered Chameleon variant takes a different approach, presenting to users as a Google Chrome app, it’s the same accessibility privilege abuse that facilitates account and device takeovers. This trojan stops the device requesting biometric authentication, pushing for a PIN instead, which then enables it to steal user account credentials. “Although the victim's biometric data remains out of reach,” ThreatFabric explains, “they force the device to fall back to PIN authentication, thereby bypassing biometric protection entirely.”

Full details of the attack conops can be found in the reports (1,2), but in reality, those specifics are much less important than the social engineering both trojans rely on to attack devices. In reality, if you’re potentially likely to grant accessibility privileges to a horoscope or calorie counting app, you’re unlikely to spot other indicators of compromise on your smartphone.

As Google warns Android users, “harmful apps might ask you to change settings that put your device or data at risk. To protect you from harmful apps, some device settings may be restricted when you install an app. These restricted settings can’t be changed unless you allow restricted settings.”

And so, the resolution here is extraordinarily simple—do not grant such privileges to ANY app EVER—not unless it’s from a blue chip brand—think Apple, Google or Microsoft—and logically requires such access, given your restricted movements or senses in using such an app.

Google is much more open than Apple when it comes to app permissions on devices and the availability of apps beyond its official store. Its less-locked-down-than-Apple approach also opens the (back)door to more Play Store malware than is found on Apple’s App Store.

It comes down to user choice in Google’s mind. “We’re trying to strike a balance,” Sundar Pichai explained last month, “We believe in choice.” But with such choice comes responsibility. And while that includes being acutely aware of the access being requested by apps, it also runs to the nature of the apps you allow onto your smartphone and thus into your life in the first place.

My advice to Android users is to regularly check this. In ‘Settings’, tap ‘Privacy’ and then ‘Accessibility Special Access’. Check you’re familiar with any app listed, and if not tap on the app to remove its access. In the same ‘Settings’ screen, you can also check other permissions you’ve granted. It’s always good housekeeping to have a sweep once in a while—you never know what might have crept in.

Your smartphone can likely access your financial accounts, your work email, your private thoughts and messages. It knows where you live and work, who you love and who you don’t, even your kids and their schools. As tempting as it might be to install a flashlight or AI aging app, every app you install increases the risk of compromise. Just take a moment to think whether you need the app and—when the app requests access to data and device features—what that app really needs to know.

Microsoft Corp. has made a significant shakeup of its security team, as its longtime leader was put into a new role and a new chief information security officer was appointed Tuesday.

Igor Tsyganskiy, who joined Microsoft four months ago in the role of chief strategy officer, has been appointed the new CISO, replacing Bret Arsenault, who had held the role for 14 years.

Though Microsoft is hardly alone in being targeted by attackers and indeed presents a big target thanks to its size and pervasivness, it has suffered some large breaches recently. They include accidentally making 38 terabytes of internal data, including passwords, publicly accessible through a GitHub repository in September, a few months after Chinese hackers compromised a Microsoft engineer’s account to breach email accounts belonging to U.S. government agencies. And in August, the Cyber Safety Review Board launched an investigation into a high-profile breach that hit Microsoft Corp.’s Exchange Online email platform earlier this year.

It’s not clear whether those or other incidents spurred the shakeup.

Arsenault, who has been moved to a new role as chief security adviser, has been at Microsoft since 1990, according to his LinkedIn profile. He started as a senior engineer before serving in various security roles, including being appointed as Microsoft’s CISO in October 2009.

Prior to joining Microsoft, Tsyganskiy served as chief technology officer at Bridgewater Associates LP, a hedge fund that services institutional clients, including pension funds, endowments, foundations, foreign governments and central banks. Before that, Tsyganskiy worked as the senior vice president of product management at Salesforce Inc. and was the head of the advanced technology group at SAP SE.

Charlie Bell, Microsoft’s executive vice president of security, said on LinkedIn that the decision to shake up the company’s security leadership is part of Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative. The initiative, announced by Microsoft in November, is an internal program designed to enhance the security of Microsoft’s vast array of software offerings.

Central to the Secure Future Initiative is an emphasis on reducing vulnerabilities within Microsoft’s product ecosystem. The company plans to increase the use of memory-safe programming languages like Java, C# and Python, which minimize the risk of specific bugs exploitable by cyber attackers.

Microsoft is also adopting CodeQL, a GitHub-developed open-source tool for automated vulnerability scanning in code and streamlining its threat modeling processes. With the initiative, Microsoft aims to double the pace of fixing vulnerabilities in its cloud services through the use of a remediation methodology called dSDL, which integrates continuous integration and continuous delivery software to accelerate the deployment of security patches.

“So much of the world depends on Microsoft for its digital safety and we need look no further than the news headlines to know we live in a rapidly evolving threat landscape, one that is highly demanding and drives us to continually innovate and deliver,” Bell said on LinkedIn. “Navigating all this requires a tremendous amount of leadership know-how and experience.”

Bell added that Tsyganskiy brings a “deep knowledge and experience from his previous role outside of Microsoft and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with him on this important work.”

Although not mentioned by Bell, Benzinga reported that the shakeup also included Aanchal Gupta, Microsoft’s deputy CISO who was expected to take over from Arsenault. Gupta has been shifted to the role of technical adviser to Ales Holecek, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of the Office Product Group in the Experiences and Devices division.
