The way that most people move the cursor is to jab at the display with their fingertip, trying to get the cursor into the right spot for an edit. There is a magnified bubble view of where the cursor is on the screen, but I find that this is usually obscured by my digits. And as anyone who has tried this will tell you, it gets real frustrating, real fast....

Also: How to use ChatGPT to create an app I have a number of sites I use every day (such as content management systems, admin tools, invoicing sites, and more). Sure, I can just open those in regular browser tabs and even pin those tabs for easy access. My problem is I typically already have a ton of tabs open in my web browser, so adding another tab can get messy....

For me, it’s still the best way, and really the only way for now, to juggle all the unique and complex passwords for my online accounts. I’d advise anyone with a large number of accounts to adopt a password manager for the same purpose. Also: How to protect and secure your password manager But if you don’t have a dedicated password manager and you already use Microsoft Authenticator for two-factor authentication, you can enlist that app for password management....

Another reason why I prefer Opera is that it offers plenty of extra features without making the browser feel overly bloated and heavy. Although the browser does tiptoe up against that bloated line drawn in the sand, it never actually steps over it. One of the features that might put a smile on your face is called Pinboards, and it’s exactly what you think it is… a place to pin items that are of interest to you and that you might want to view later or use for inspiration....

Also: I asked ChatGPT to write a WordPress plugin I needed. It did it in less than 5 minutes There are implications to all of this, which I’ll discuss at the end of this article. But before I talk about how yet another technology is going to ruin life as we know it, let’s take a moment for a small experiment. Can an AI write a Star Trek episode? This got me to thinking....

My first encounter with this technology came in college when I went to a friend’s dorm room and saw a mask similar to this one on her desk. When I asked if it was left over from a Halloween costume, she laughed and said that no, it was an LED face mask. She used it every night. You could set it to different colors to match whatever skin concern you had, from acne to fine lines and wrinkles....

Thanks to the 7-nanometre Samsung-manufactured chip, IBM is boasting the server can deliver 30% better performance per core, 50% higher total capacity at socket and system level, and overall, 33% less energy consumed compared to its 980 predecessor. Thanks to dedicated hardware, the new chip can do AI inferencing up to 5 times faster, and is 2.5 times faster on workloads involving AES encryption when compared to the E980. “For implementing AI in business applications, you do not need to make of separate GPU-accelerated systems,” IBM CTO of Power Satya Sharma said....

The touchscreen has probably been the biggest UI innovation in the last 50 years, so much so that we often take it for granted. And yet, when it comes time to work, many of us resign ourselves to the same old non-interactive monitor screens. Desklab plans to change that with a portable monitor with an external touchscreen that’s responsive, clear, and adaptive to changing light conditions. If you’ve never used a touchscreen for work, this one makes the transition easy....

The simulator has a sensor that can gather helpful information about your game in real-time. Combined with the E6 CONNECT software, it creates an interactive coach that can display your swing data after each shot, plus analytics. Four critical characteristics of your swing are captured, so you’ll see details about your clubface and attack angles, swing tempo, and club path. Golfers of any skill level can benefit from this type of information, but that’s just the beginning of what the TruGolf Mini can do....

Open-source software is also growing by leaps and bounds. According to Gartner’s 2021 Hype Cycle for Open-Source Software (OSS): “Through 2025, more than 70% of enterprises will increase their IT spending on OSS, compared with their current IT spending. Plus, by 2025, software as a service (SaaS) will become the preferred consumption model for OSS due to its ability to deliver better operational simplicity, security, and scalability.” Thinking of databases, the beef and potatoes of enterprise software, Gartner predicts that over 70% of new in-house applications will be developed on an open-source database....

I’ve worked from home for the best part of a decade. Things have moved on from the days of shifting between different rental properties, and now, I finally have the option for a dedicated workspace, albeit a small one. Years of hunching over a laptop on a sofa or my bed – combined with an old motorcycle injury – have not proven to be kind to my back, and as ZDNet has previously cautioned in our working from home health guide, healthy working habits are key to long-term productivity and comfort....

“With inference taking over as a critical workload at the edge, there’s a much greater diversity of applications” under development, Adam Burns, Intel VP and GM of Internet of Things Group, said to ZDNet. Since its launch, hundreds of thousands of developers have used OpenVINO to deploy AI workloads at the edge, according to Intel. A typical use case would be defect detection in a factory. Now, with broader model support, a manufacturer could use it to build a defect spotting system, plus a system to listen to a machine’s motor for signs of failure....

How many Apple users just have one product? Not many. This means that if you have, say, an iPhone and an Apple Watch and AirPods – and you want to charge them simultaneously – you’re dealing with a pile of chargers and wires. Also: Don’t waste your money on these Apple products: May 2022 edition What you need is a single platform that lets you charge everything with a single wire and a single charger....

The IT and telecommunications sector was among the best performers of the Latin economy, with 12.3% growth in 2021, contributing to a boost to the services industry overall. This compares with agribusiness, a key sector for the Brazilian economy, which has seen a decline of 0.2% last year.

In the past few weeks, may Salesforce colleagues and I have been deeply engaged with higher education leaders across the globe, to better understand how we could help with their crisis management and high priority digital transformation initiatives. In March alone, I have engaged nearly 30 higher education chief marketing officers, to better understand the necessary communication and messaging best practices, including a relevant content strategy to best inform all stakeholders – students, faculty, administration, and communities....

According to last year’s FRG Technology Consulting Java and PHP Salary Survey, only one in every 10 developers is a woman. But women are increasingly moving into the tech industry – sometimes unconventionally – and learning the skills it takes to create code. E-learning platforms like Code Institute aim to make it easy to take on the commitment of a new career in coding by letting students learn on their own flexible schedules....

Despite these advantages, users have been wary of Windows on Arm devices up to now, mostly due to concerns about app compatibility. However, things are improving: Windows 11 now supports x64 emulation, and Microsoft has recently released its Windows Dev Kit 2023 (a.k.a. Project Volterra), a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3-powered mini-PC which, along with Arm64EC tooling, is designed to help developers create native Windows 11 apps and transition existing x64 apps to the Arm platform....
