Canva 1. All-Round Jupyter Notebooks Support Jupyter Notebooks are essential tools for data science. They are a browser-based interface for writing code and running it in the same place, which is extremely useful when working on data analysis projects. Jupyter Notebooks can be used for writing Python code and other languages such as R or Scala. Using Jupyter Notebooks, you don’t need to write separate scripts for each step of your process; instead, all of your steps can be done directly inside a notebook file....

Getting a chance to glimpse into the past is a special treat, although it’s mostly through black-and-white footage. However, there have been some incredible advancements in technology that allows us to add color to these old pictures and videos. TikTok user @historycolored posted an incredible look at New York City around the start of the 20th century. It’s hard to discern exactly where that footage is on “Lower Broadway” (like anyone knows the boundaries of Manhattan neighborhoods today either)....

Walter Shillington My lost glasses dilemma appears unsolvable. However, a set of keys or a piece of missing luggage can be easily tracked. You only require a smartphone, a tracking program, and an electronic tag. Today I am taking a look at a Bluetooth-capable tag from Atuvos. Description These rectangularly shaped tracking devices are 0.43 inches thick, 1.38 inches wide, and 1.38 inches tall. Individual tags are encased in white colored plastic and weigh only 0....

The site offers this pithy summary: The great thing about Redbubble phone cases is that each design can fit dozens of different types of iPhones and Samsung models. And the cases can be individualized. Artists upload a wide variety of images to Redbubble giving customers thousands of design choices. If you’re a pop culture fan, you will find all kinds of designs for all kinds of shows and artists. Although, there’s no way to know whether the designs are legal....

Walter Shillington This spring, I picked up one of those fancy Cube4 portable projectors. The new projector works great, but I suspect its pair of 5W speakers will not provide a theatre-like experience when used outdoors. I checked around, searching for a portable Bluetooth speaker with plenty of power, decent battery life, and good sound. In the end, I chose the Tribit StormBox Pro. Description The StormBox Pro is conical in shape and colored black....

Walter Shillington My second article covered the highly competent Leisure E30. This projector is fitted with 4-point keystone correction and exhibits the excellent contrast ratio and sharp overall focus necessary for a gaming projector. Today I am examining Vankyo’s inexpensive entry into the home theater category. I am also discussing changes to their packaging which reflect a commitment to green policies. Description The Vankyo Leisure 495W arrived securely protected by soft foam padding....

Walter B Shillington My world-rocking, unfortunately, will have to wait. I’ve just blown my budget on a fancy new cappuccino machine and the grinder required to pulverize the espresso beans that feed it. Unwilling to completely give up my dream, I did pick up a set of inexpensive DJ headphones from Vogek. Over the next few paragraphs, I’ll describe how well my new purchase functions. Description The Vogek DJ headphones weighs in at 11....

The result is a wonderful video set to music that shows our moon in various stages during those 26 days.

Judge for yourself, but we think you might want to share it and provoke a grin out of a friend as well....

The security engineer who posted this not-so humblebrag of a video lives in Dallas, Texas, and he’s rocking amenities and other niceties that are mighty pricey no matter where you live. Just get a look at the dude’s serious whip game (we mean his car). WATCH VIDEO HERE From the start of this video, we can tell that TikToker Tayvion “TayOnTech” Payton is living out quite a life for himself....

Michael H Drawing with visible spots is similar to text art. When I made ASCII art, I recreated the picture with keyboard characters. The goal was to divide a photo into small squares and then replace the colors with symbols. Pinterest started showing me dot artwork after I posted some ASCII text images. It looked amazing, so I tried to make my own. I thought the style I was using was called pointillism, but it was actually stippling art....

Ads can frustrate consumers when they interfere with watching content, accessing articles, or playing games on smart phones or tablets. For some, the inundation of ads has gotten even worse than the pop-up ads associated with older websites (which, with some sites, has not completely gone away). There are solutions, as TikTok user @tatechtips shows, to this persistent problem that users can attempt. Commenters showed their agreement and appreciation with this proposed solution....

AI has become ubiquitous in our lives. From self-driving cars to smart homes, robots are taking over tasks once performed only by humans. What does this mean for the future of work? As AI becomes more advanced, it will continue to disrupt finance, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, retail, and government industries. This means jobs will change drastically, and as a result, we need to prepare ourselves for what’s ahead. The pace at which technology is advancing has never been faster than now....

This time, we’ve got an almost impeccable deepfake of the character Eddie Munson from the show, played by Joseph Quinn … deepfaked by this guy. The rendition is honestly incredible, and it has already fooled quite a few viewers. WATCH VIDEO HERE Thanks to Jesse Richards for yet another insanely accurate deepfake video … aided by his choice of t-shirt and wig. It’s not exactly 1:1, but it’s absurdly close to us....

WATCH VIDEO HERE Uploaded by @tech, the clip elicits some engaged comments from viewers. “Is there anything more iconic than the SR-71 Blackbird?” wonders @jonnylee022. “Can’t believe nothing has gone faster for 46 years.” “Many aircraft have gone faster since, but they were mostly experimental, from the X-15 up to the more recent Aurora,” writes @slydermac. “The speed accomplishments were actually achieved in the late 1960s,” notes @writeroftomes3. “I was assigned to a USAF base with a TS clearance where the jet flew out of....

Commenter @cheryldavies1666 agrees. “‘The actions are performed by professionals,’” she notes the video as saying....

Almost every tech device you own likely uses some form of solid state storage. Regardless, we like to poke fun at the old school hard drive crowd, and were so glad to see a video like this. So, do you want to see what a running hard drive does when it’s touched by a marker? WATCH VIDEO HERE Yep, that’s right: it freaks the hell out. Honestly, we don’t know what else we were expecting....

In this article, I’ll explain what bloatware is and how it can affect your phone’s performance. We’ll also provide some tips for removing bloatware from your device. So What Exactly Is Bloatware? Bloatware is defined as “unnecessary software that comes pre-installed on a new computer or phone.” In other words, it’s extra software that you didn’t ask for and don’t need.

Photo by Florian Olivo on Unsplash Codeless testing was created to simplify test creation of web, mobile and API tests and make testing more accessible to everyone, regardless of coding experience or background. Coded testing is slower, more expensive, and riskier than a low code or no code framework. As automation and AI begin to dominate the testing space, terms like low code and no code have become more prevalent and many are still not sure what that even means....
