In theory, children are supposed to be 13 before they can sign up for a YouTube account. However, many parents allow their kids to skirt this rule and make accounts before then. A survey done by Common Sense Media showed that children ages 8 and under spend an average of forty-eight minutes a day on mobile devices and two hours and nineteen minutes in total screen time. YouTube has some great content....

1. Choose a Descriptive and Easy to Remember Name Rule number one when choosing a domain name is that it must be descriptive and easy to remember. It is a no-brainer that if your site is about tech gadgets, for example, you won’t name it “mycookingtips.com” or “cutestbabes.com,” but “techgadgets.com,” “techgadgetsstore.com,” or something similar. When you go with a descriptive name, try to keep it short. If it is too long, this makes it harder to remember and easy to confuse with another site....

Configuration First of all, you will need the “ntp” package on your computer. On most distributions, it is installed by default, but you may want to check that you have it or its equivalent. To check, try the command And if it is not found, you know that you don’t have the appropriate package. Now that this is done, the entire configuration is going to be made with the file “/etc/ntp....

Once you open Remote, you have two choices: Turn on Home Sharing and Add an iTunes Library. Before you add anything, Home Sharing needs to be turned on. Turning on Home Sharing asks you to log into your account with the Apple ID and password. This isn’t necessarily the same ID and password of the computer you’re using, but yours. It’s how Apple keeps track of you. Once you are signed in with your Apple ID, the app asks you to turn on “Home Sharing” on any computer using your Apple ID and iTunes....

Let’s take a look at how the two versions compare and whether the free version really can meet most video-editing needs. VSDC Free Video Editor Features The first step is to take a look at VSDC Free Video Editor’s features. I’ll admit that the free version actually offers more features than many premium video editors I’ve tried. Some of the top features that really make VSDC stand out include:...

Sure, within YouTube itself you can save your favorite videos to a playlist to watch in a constant stream, but what about videos that are new to you? Every time you search for a video, YouTube always displays a list of others it thinks you might like. It allows you to go off on several different tangents as you can easily get caught up watching for long lengths of time....

What’s Behind the Display? Underneath the surface there are several tiny semiconductor nanocrystals that can influence some of the smallest particles known to mankind. The sizes of these particles are so small you probably have trillions of them under your fingernail. Each of these nanocrystals is known as a quantum dot. What this does is effectively minimize the space that a pixel (or, more appropriately, a dot) will occupy on your screen....

Here’s everything you need to know about E-ink displays, including what they are, how they work and where you can find them… What is an E-ink display? An E-ink display is a screen that aims to replicate the experience of reading and writing on paper. These displays are usually grayscale but can come in colour as well. Unlike LCD or OLED displays, E-ink screens are made up of millions of tiny microcapsules the diameter of human hair suspended in a clear fluid....

Anyone who used ITV Hub is aware that wasn’t the easiest to use nor did it deliver the best streaming quality. ITVX will come with a new look that can compete with the likes of Netflix, Disney+ and Sky as consumers embrace streaming. So what is ITVX, and should you be checking out the “freshest” streaming service on the block? What is ITVX? ITVX is the new streaming home of all of ITV’s productions in the UK....

Hackers have one trick up their sleeve to skirt past security suites. Antiviruses depend on “signatures” to detect whether or not a program is malicious. When a new virus is detected, its signature is recorded and sent to everyone else’s antivirus software to help them detect it. In a way, the signature is the virus’s fingerprint on a police record; once it’s been “caught,” everyone else is informed to kick out this rogue software as soon as it appears....

Given the large number of people affected, major news outlets have been reporting on the breach non-stop. While most people are concerned (and rightfully so), CNN reports that many people aren’t doing anything about it. What’s the Big Deal? Normally when we think of cyber security we think of convoluted passwords and PIN numbers. Unfortunately, thieves were able to obtain Social Security Numbers, birth dates, credit card numbers, home addresses and names....

1. Privacy and Security Risks of Smart Toys Every now and then, some organization issues a warning to parents about the dangers of Internet-connected toys for kids. But when the FBI warns you about these, you’d better listen. You might not believe that a smart toy is a computer in disguise or that smart toys spy on your kids, but unfortunately this is so. If a smart toy can connect to the Internet, consider the dangers associated with it similar to the ones of a kid using a computer....

Comfort and Ergonomics In recent years the conversation about healthy ergonomics in the work place has grown. More workers are aware of the health risks and problems associated with long periods of sitting daily. It’s supremely unhealthy, and many companies have made a serious effort to help modern office workers reduce the risks of desk-bound work. While standing up will help your health, more ergonomic input devices can protect you from an RSI, or repetitive strain injury....

Hardware vs. Software Wi-Fi Issues A Wi-Fi connection issue can be either a hardware or software issue. Hardware issues are relatively easy to diagnose – all you have to do is to open the terminal and enter the following command: This is a simple way to check if your physical hardware is working. localhost works as an address to check the circuitry for your NIC. If this isn’t working, you may need to have some work done on the hardware, whether by yourself or from someone else....

Note: if you’re still not using Windows 11, you’re far from alone. Recent stats showed that less than three percent of machines had upgraded to Windows 11. Windows Blog Releases Update on Support Like the old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” However, tech companies don’t seem to subscribe to that same theory. They continue to release new versions of operating software for our devices, but not everyone wants to update....

What Charms Do As if though Windows 7 didn’t make it simple enough, the point of a “charm” is to make your experience more simple and waste less time when moving to essential components in Windows, such as the control panel, known in the newer version as the “settings” window. Honestly, the name change might cause a slight confusion to some people that were used to the control panel nomenclature since the mid 80s when Windows 1....

What Are Vector Graphics? While vector graphics show graphic content, they are not images – they’re math. Vector graphics are represented by the complex interactions of multiple mathematical formulas and calculations. These are used to flawlessly describe the boundaries of shape and color, no matter how complex. Bitmaps or raster graphics like JPG and PNG use points of color on a grid to describe images, fixing their size. Without inaccurate interpolation, raster images can’t be enlarged....

Just in the last month I took something called a SmartPill to evaluate my gastrointestinal system, had a 3D scanner take pictures of my teeth to build a crown, and read about a robot that can take blood tests. This inspired me to ask our writers, “Would you trust technology to handle your health?” Our Opinion For Phil it depends on the task. “The less invasive the procedure, the more I happily say yes to the tech....

How Quizzes Can Threaten Privacy To begin to understand how privacy can be an issue with online quizzes, you first have to know what they do to get your information. Since Facebook quizzes are the biggest culprit, I will be using the social network as a frame of reference. First of all, no private information belonging to you can escape the Facebook ecosystem into an application without your permission. Your address, your phone number, and other details about you that you choose to make private will not be accessible to outside entities unless you allow it Since quizzes that come in the form of Facebook apps use the Facebook API to interact with you, they have to deal with this restraint....
