The more we progress through this digital age, the more important image editing becomes. Before, only people who worked in photography or printing needed good image manipulation, but now everyone needs it. It’s so much easier to save photos digitally than in physical snapshots, and manipulating them has never been easier. However, the cheaper programs that exist really aren’t the best for manipulating those photos. They do the job of cropping, brightening, enlarging, reducing, exporting, etc....

The official antitrust complaint comes after the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation into the proposed $68.7 billion takeover of the Call of Duty publisher. Citing Microsoft’s decision to keep Bethesda’s Starfield and Redfall exclusively on its own platforms, the FTC say it has not decided to legally block the takeover. “Microsoft has already shown that it can and will withhold content from its gaming rivals,” said Holly Vedova, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition, in a media release....

When you’re working on a project with someone who’s not in your Slack group or in close vicinity, the go-to way to collaborate and exchange files is email, which we all know is far from the “best” way. Who wants to spend hours at the end trying to track all the attachments you got from four different people in sixteen different threads? It’s time we put the whole charade to bed....

What Is SCP and SFTP? SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) This is a non-interactive file transfer that uses the shell and a remote command only, to securely transmit files between two computers. This is a secure version of the previous RCP, and FTP uses the SSH protocol for authentication but with a similar command-line syntax. While it is strongly based on the SFTP utility, SCP is usually a more suitable option when using scripts to set up unattended file transfers....

I went on a hunt and found a couple different choices. To be honest, I tried the Firefox add-on Scribefire first; I never quite got to the second one. The reason I didn’t go any further is it did what I needed it to do and it did it well. Scribefire lets me post to multiple blogs, storing of notes and uploads images. I can work on multiple posts at the same time by opening different tabs....

Let’s Get Started! You know the drill. The first step is to hop over to the Play Store and download the Flashify app. Got it? Good. Now, it gets trickier after this. Flashify does not open like most apps do. Instead, it hides out entirely under your share menu. To access it, you first need to load a URL inside any browser. Here I will try to load up a flash game inside of Google Chrome....

Even though many don’t consider cache as a bad thing, I’m afraid it does have its dark side. The downside to caching is that it doesn’t let you see what’s new on your favorite site since it uses the cache memory to load the site. Unless you cleared the cache before you started checking your favorite sites, you are going to miss out on things such as a new logo the site might have....

1. 20 Questions While this game feels as old as time, it’s easy when you get to play it through text. In this game, you will think of an object, place, or thing and offer your “opponents” 20 questions to guess what you are thinking of. Each question can only be answered with a yes or no. You can also share the category of your item, such as an object or location....

The main difference between these two protocols is that IMAP has a two way communication path, whereas POP3 has a one way communication path. For IMAP: Emails you have marked “read” in your mail client would be updated on the mail server and the subsequent changes appear in your webmail inbox. Even if you are performing these actions offline, the changes will be reflected online as soon as you have reconnected to the Internet and your mail application has synchronized with the server....

That’s not an unfair interpretation – many companies have used planned obsolescence purely as a profit mechanism – but it’s also not the whole story, especially when it comes to tech. Indeed, one could argue that planned obsolescence is both necessary and inevitable in this sector, despite the waste and environmental issues surrounding this low-cost, high-volume model. There’s a constant cycle of improving and upgrading, partially driven by the continuous demand for new products, and if your phone breaks in a few years, that might have been the limit of its useful lifespan anyway....

The window that appears, prompting you to run the installer, is one of these easily-overlooked aspects. At a glance it contains nothing you’re not already aware of – but it might. One single line of text makes the window worth a second look, and it’s the “signature.” Installers aren’t signed in the traditional sense like a legal document, but some are signed in their own way. If you’ve ever seen this before and wondered, or if you haven’t taken much notice until now, then we’ll explain just what’s going on....

One caveat, though, by default the computer sets that only one item could be stored in the clipboard. I guess this is a legacy from when the computer’s storage capacity was still within megabytes range. If you put one item in the clipboard, the previous one will be replaced by the newer. This limitation can be very annoying if you – like most people – constantly have to do Copy – Cut – Paste between multiple items....
