Also: The best Linux laptops you can buy But how do you do this, if Linux is your operating system of choice? Believe it or not, it’s actually pretty simple. I want to show you two different methods – one using the command line and one that makes use of the built-in file manager – so you too can protect those important documents. You can do this with just about any type of file (text, ....
This is especially true of people who are looking to pass on or resell their hardware at some point down the line. The better your laptop looks, the more money you’ll get for it. I’ve shied away laptop clamshells in the past for a number of reasons. They can be a real pain to get on, and then fall off at the drop of a hat. They can obscure the ports and air vents causing all sorts of hassles, and they can be made of such poor-quality material that cracks and breaks after very little use....
But why would you need offline access to files in a world that is constantly and consistently online? There are a couple of reasons. First, you could be heading out for business travel and will need to work with certain files while on the plane. Another reason (at least when using the Google Drive Desktop Client) is to get quick access to those files from a centralized location (more on this in a bit)....
It’s just so simple. However, there’s a particular setting within Chrome OS you should pay attention to. That setting is “Sync and Google services.” Within that setting, you tell Chrome OS what you want to sync in your account – which, in turn, syncs across your devices.

Believe it or not, many of you reading this have had a solution in your pocket since 2017. Not only does your iPhone allow you scan, save, and share documents, but it does so for free via a built-in feature of Apple’s own Notes app. Let’s take a quick look at how fast and easy it is to digitize your documents using nothing more than your iPhone’s Notes app and camera....
Also: How to downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10 A variety of third-party tools can handle that job – some free and some paid. But rather than download and install an external program, you can take advantage of a couple of features built right into Windows. Available in Windows 10 and 11, the Xbox Game Bar video capture tool is designed to record gameplay on your PC. But it’s a versatile tool in that it will capture just about any other type of screen activity....
There is no cookie-cutter person who’s best suited for a nomadic lifestyle. The population varies by socio-economic class, profession, and generation. That said, the data generally skews toward males. It’s reported that only one-third of location-independent workers are women. In this article, we explore the life of a female digital nomad, how their experience is different, and what role technology plays in their life. Instead of just telling you about it, we took the time to talk to the experts: female digital nomads....
I’ve often just crossed my fingers hoping that if my brain scanned over the missing “the” in a sentence, the recipient’s will, too – that was until I found out I could leverage Outlook’s “Undo send” feature on my Mac. Also: How to make sure people see your important emails While Mac users can’t completely recall or entirely replace an Outlook email, enabling the “Undo send” feature does give a 10-second grace period....
Adobe Photoshop offers users endless possibilities to edit their photos and create graphics, which is why it’s become my personal go-to over the years. There are several ways to edit in Photoshop. Which ones you choose will depend on preference. We’ll cover a very basic method to edit a photo in the steps below. How to use Photoshop Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop Open Adobe Photoshop and go to File in the menu at the top of your screen....
One tool that I use quite a bit comes by way of Linux. If you’ve already enabled Linux, you understand that Chrome OS is much more than just a web browser. With Linux support enabled, you can install quite a large number of applications to turn Chrome OS into a much more traditional OS. Also: How I revived three ancient computers with ChromeOS Flex Adding an SSH connection to the Linux terminal app Along the ride with Linux, comes a terminal tool that is much more than a means to a command-line end....
Also: ChatGPT vs. Bing Chat: Which AI chatbot should you use? Unlike ChatGPT, the new Bing has internet access, giving it the ability to provide more up-to-date responses. ChatGPT, in turn, is only trained on data up to the year 2021 thus it cannot provide answers on current events. How to use the new Bing What you need: Getting started with the new Bing requires the use of Microsoft Edge and to log into a Microsoft account....
Review: Galaxy S23 Ultra: Best smartphone of the year (so far) There’s another feature, however, that’s very likely new to Ultra owners – the S Pen stylus that’s tucked inside the bottom-left corner of the phone’s housing that’s not only a storage location, but it also charges the S Pen in as little as 40 seconds (crazy, right?!). There’s a lot you can do with the S Pen on the S23 Ultra; much more than just writing down some notes or drawing stick figures in Samsung’s Notes app....
Huawei continues to labour under the weight of US sanctions, which explains the absence of Google Mobile Services and lack of 5G support in the Mate 50 Pro’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The Mate 50 Pro also uses Chinese-made Kunlun Glass rather than Gorilla Glass to protect the 6.74-inch, 120Hz OLED display. Compared to the Chinese version of the Mate 50 Pro, the international model runs EMUI 13, based on open-source Android, rather than HarmonyOS 3....
But now that the year is coming to an end and economic uncertainty threatens the job market, workers are changing their hybrid-working habits. According to workplace technology specialist Robin’s Q3 2022 Hybrid Workplace Report, office attendance is on the rise. The reason for this increase? According to Robin, employees’ work habits change with the season – and could offer an incentive for employers to adapt office policies according to the time of year....
I’d like you to keep this truth in mind as I tell you about the day last week when I used my 2021 iPad Pro as my main desktop computer. What worked (and especially what didn’t work) for me will be different than what you might experience. But this story could prove instructive, because you’ll be able to gain some insight into what it’s like, and what you might (or might not) like....
So I was carefully stepping through the week, trying not to say the wrong thing to the wrong person – or, frankly, to the right person – when I espied a gadget that appeared to defy initial belief. Also: This $17 clamp is my go-to iPhone accessory for taking better photos I haven’t had any hair for a quite a long time. More precisely, any hair that could be described as meaningful....
The discovery, published in The Lancet Digital Health, was one of the key goals the two organisations had aimed to achieve at its outset. IBM Research and MJFF have been working together since July 2018 to examine how machine learning could be applied to help clinicians further understand the underlying biology of PD, particularly as it progresses so differently from individual to individual. As part of developing the AI model, the researchers used de-identified datasets from the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI)....
All the way across the Atlantic, scientists from Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute have just unveiled the IBM Quantum System One – the country’s first superconducting quantum computer that Big Blue was contracted to build especially for the organization. The device, which contains one of IBM’s 27-qubit Falcon processors, came online a few weeks ago and has already been made available to Fraunhofer’s scientists and some of the institute’s partners. German academics and organizations outside of Fraunhofer will, from now on, be welcome to arrange monthly contracts to use the computer too for research, education and training purposes....
Saaf Water – the first tool from India to win the global challenge – is a hardware-software platform that uses IBM’s IoT features to monitor a number of water quality parameters and provide users with accurate data about their local water sources, particularly those in rural communities. Hrishikesh Bhandari, project lead at Saaf Water, told ZDNet that he was inspired to create the platform when his mother fell severely ill after unknowingly consuming contaminated water from her village’s public groundwater source....
The deal comes amidst a pandemic-driven disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, which VCs have taken keen notice of. Something on the order of $45.1B has been raised by industrial start-ups so far this year, compared with the $34B raised in all of 2020, according to PitchBook. Augury’s wireless sensors and cloud platform monitors the “vitals” (like temperature and vibration) of critical industrial equipment. AI is used to compare them to a database of over 80K+ machine sounds so that faults can be detected before they cause downtime....
