One feature that does a great job with that very thing is called Login Items. When you add an app as a Login Item, that app will always automatically start as soon as you log in to the desktop. To some, that may not sound like much. After all, it only takes a couple of clicks to launch an app, right? But what if you’re constantly on the go and, for whatever reason, have to regularly power off your laptop?...
And, to be honest, I do prefer the default file formats used by the open-source office suite. Those file formats (such as ODT for text documents) follow the Open Document Format, which means they are widely accepted for many common applications. However, that doesn’t mean the default file formats are the best option for some users. If you primarily collaborate with (or have to send files to) people who use MS Office, you might well have run into instances where those users either cannot open LibreOffice files or don’t know exactly what to do with them....
Take, for instance, the ability to connect to network shares from within ChromeOS. This feature has been built into the OS for some time and makes it easy to not only connect to those shares but easily access them from within the Files application. I’m going to walk you through the process of connecting to a network share being shared by the Samba server on Pop!_OS Linux. This process can also connect to directories shared from a Windows or macOS machine (and the process is the same, regardless of which operating system is hosting the share)....

The action camera offers the ability to capture beautiful moments, and this is in part with the implementation of the new, larger image sensor. It can shoot stunning 27MP high-resolution photos, or, for videos, it can capture 5.3K60 and 2.7K240 video with 24.7MP stills. Because this isn’t just any action camera, it comes fully equipped with waterproofing for up to 33ft below the surface, so you can snap those gorgeous images of turtles while snorkeling, or just capture your kids swimming....
To that end, both services have made it incredibly easy to work with others. However, there may be times when you don’t want to use third-party services for collaboration. You might have highly sensitive data in files that you can’t or don’t want to trust to a third party. For those instances, you might want to keep that data housed within your network and on your desktops or servers. This might lead you to create shared folders that can be accessed from various machines on your network....
In a home environment, VPNs not only secure your connection from home to whatever online service you’re connecting to, but they also secure your connection from others on your Wi-Fi network. If you have confidential information you don’t want to share with roommates, or you’d prefer your teenager doesn’t have access to corporate, health, lifestyle, or financial information, a VPN will keep the connection from your computer, phone, or tablet secure from the prying eyes of the young digital natives in your midst....

The Chinese tech vendor is expecting to close the year with 634 billion yuan ($99.45 billion) in revenue, a 28.88% dip from 891.4 billion yuan in 2020. Its carrier business had stayed “stable” and its enterprise unit saw growth, said Huawei’s rotating chairman Guo Ping, in his new year message Friday to employees. He added that digital transformation in global economies had become a major growth engine and there were new opportunities in green and low-carbon technologies, but warned of uncertainties in the year ahead, “An unpredictable business environment, the politicisation of technology, and a growing deglobalisation movement all present serious challenges,” Guo said....
If you’re looking for an eye-catching platform for productivity and mainstream creative workloads, this elegant touch-screen all-in-one (AIO) PC could fit the bill – especially if you’re invested in other Huawei products and can make use of the company’s Super Device connectivity features. Let’s take a look. Design At first glance, you could be forgiven for confusing the MateStation X with an iMac – or at least the recently-discontinued Intel-based 27-inch model, rather than the current, smaller, multi-colour 24-inch M1 iMac....
There are, of course, times when you’re stretching the limits of the car’s range. Also: Tesla promises the Cybertruck is on track I’ve watched and laughed at videos of people trying to charge an electric vehicle (EV) with various portable devices like a gas generator. It’s a hilarious and wildly inefficient solution. But, whatever it takes, I guess? That said, when I received a sample of the Anker PowerHouse 767, effectively a 2,048 milliamp-hour battery pack, complete with a 30A outlet for powering an RV while camping, the first thing I thought of was trying to charge my Tesla with it....
The time when you’re forced to remember to treat your loved one in a way you don’t always (often enough?) treat them. Oh, you might tell them every day that you love them, but how often do you show it with a reservation at the right restaurant or a gift that brings a tear to their eye? So I ask you this: Have you ever expressed your love with a gadget of some kind?...
The companies hailed the vertical transistor design as a major benefit to smartphones because it could reduce energy use by 85% compared to finite or fin field-effect transistors (finFET) used in today’s chips. As ever-smaller chips become more densely packed with transistors, engineers are running out of space, according to IBM. This physical constraint is blocking the trajectory of integrated circuit chip progress under Moore’s Law, which assumed chip density will double every two years....
IBM MZRs is composed of three or more zones that are independent from each other, ensuring that single failure events affect only a single zone. MZRs provide low latency and high bandwidth connectivity across zones, providing consistent cloud services across zones, as well as better resiliency and availability. The new MZR in Spain will help IBM expand its hybrid cloud business in Europe, enabling clients there to meet data sovereignty and compliance requirements....

These were – oh yes, I tried it – spectacularly soulless places, dripping with a late-night emptiness of spirit – at all times of the day. Then again, they did highlight what cameras can do for the shopping experience....
