Power Screen Pass

Power Screen Pass | Battle Born Tech · January 20, 2026 This week on Battle Born Tech, the calls drive the conversation from start to finish. A Verizon user gets the classic fix — reboot your phone. Steve asks about Windows 11 battery health, leading to a deep dive on the powercfg /batteryreport command line tool hiding beneath the GUI, plus a tip to turn down screen brightness to extend battery life. Lee hunts down a Linux clipboard and screenshot tool, sparking a discussion of the PrintScreen key, ALT and SHIFT options, and a recommendation for Flameshot. Joan brings the biggest topic of the day — password help — which opens up a wide-ranging conversation about NIST's updated password guidance, built-in browser password managers, Bitwarden, Proton Pass, NordPass, and why longer passwords or passphrases beat complex ones. Battle Plans this week cover Package Managers, Password Managers, Passkeys, NIST, Browser Extensions, and CVEs.
