Picasa on android phone1/17/2024 ![]() Because Picasa stores all of that information within in its own database, it isn’t embedded in your physical photo files. Virtually all of the blood, sweat, and tears you’ve invested into tasks such as photo editing and captioning are ignored in the upload process. Easy, but not painlessĪs easy as it is to get your photos into the cloud, it comes with a hefty price for Picasa users. It will eat into your total amount of available storage for your Google account. If you prefer, you can choose an uncompressed option, which lets you upload RAW files without any alterations. Did we mention that Google gives Photos users an unlimited amount of room on its servers? As long as your photos are under 16 megapixels in size, the compression that Photos performs should be virtually unnoticeable. It will take hours (or days) for all of your photos to make it to the cloud, but it happens in the background and doesn’t require any intervention on your part. To begin using Google Photos, simply download the Google Photos Backup tool, tell it where to look for your photos, and then let it do its thing. The company refers to it as “switching,” because that’s exactly how you have to think about it. ![]() That’s because - with the exception of the Web Albums feature described above - Google hasn’t created a migration path from one product to the other. There’s a reason why Google doesn’t use the term “migrate” when encouraging Picasa users to embrace Google Photos. Google has been silent on exactly when or how this could happen, though. You may also find that Picasa functions which require web connectivity, like the Order Prints or Publish to Blogger features, may fail to work at some point. You can view, download, or delete your Picasa Web Albums from the Photos interface, but as of May 1, you cannot create, organize, or edit them. If you’re curious what that will look like, simply log in to Google Photos with the Google account you used to create the web Album - and voila - they’re already there. If you’ve been taking advantage of Picasa’s free web Albums feature, as of the only way to access them is through Google Photos. If you go this route, my advice is to re-download the latest version of Picasa (3.9) for Mac or Windows right now and keep the installer somewhere safe - you never know when you may need to reinstall it and who knows how easy it will be to find later. If you want to keep using Picasa, you can absolutely do so. No, your photos won’t suddenly disappear and neither will the software itself. However, if you already have the software installed, it will continue to work. That means no more versions will be released, no bug fixes will be issued, and no support will be offered. ![]() Experience the future of online photo editing with Pixlr, the ultimate choice for all your image editing needs.The best photo-editing apps for Android and iOS Elevate your photo editing experience and achieve remarkable results with ease.

Ars technica imazing review1/17/2024 ![]() On the one hand, this might create the potential for some confusion. The box, the phone's About panel, and Motorola's website distinguish between last year's model and this year's with a "2nd generation" label, but otherwise the name is the same. Motorola calls the new Moto X just "Moto X," with no extra numbers or letters attached, and it's the same way for the new Moto G. $99 with two-year contract, $499 unlocked The new Moto X just needs to take everything the old one did well and do it better. The original Moto X was an opportunity for Motorola to reinvent itself. The upshot of all of this is that Motorola is a company you should be paying attention to again, something that hasn't been the case since the turn of the decade or so. Though it's making the biggest waves at the low end of the market, it's still making and selling flagships, too, which leads us to the subject of this review: the new Moto X. Most importantly, Google is selling Motorola to Lenovo, a company that isn't doing so badly in the smartphone market itself (the deal isn't actually scheduled to close until some time next year, but Motorola has already quietly stripped "a Google company" from its branding on everything from its homepage to its phones' boot screens). ![]() The division has continued to lose money for Google, but its sales are finally on an uptick, and reviews of each Moto phone have typically been positive. The US-based phone factory that factored so prominently into early Moto X advertising is being shuttered. Things have been no less lively on the business side. The phone has spent most of its time since hovering between $300 and $400, give or take a sale. The original Moto X launched at a $579 unlocked ($199 on-contract) price point that was frankly too much to pay for what it offered, but it dropped to a more suitable $399 by the beginning of the year. Both phones make compromises to hit their sub-$200-unlocked prices, but they largely identify the most important smartphone stuff and give you enough to get by. Still, we wanted to see where Motorola would be in a year, and, about 13 months later, it's safe to say it's been a busy year for the company.įor starters, Motorola has made an aggressive play for the midrange, low-end, and emerging smartphone markets in the form of the Moto G and the Moto E. At the end of last year's Moto X review, we concluded that it wasn't a perfect phone.

Nebula projector 21/17/2024 ![]() If you stick to projecting in the dark, you'll be very happy with it. The Anker Nebula Mars II is a great portable projector with a couple of big caveats. Anker has most streaming services covered in their store, and you can sideload any apps that are missing since this is running Android. I can't overstate how easy it is to just turn on this projector and go - it will focus itself in an instant. This won't be a good replacement for a home theater system, but if you do a lot of camping or want an easy way to watch movies in your backyard, it's hard to go wrong. Otherwise, just plug in an HDMI device or thumb drive and watch your movies that way. If you're somewhere you have an Internet connection, you can use your favorite streaming services. The Nebula Capsule II Smart HD Ready Portable Projector is the worlds first Android TV Pocket Cinema. It takes just a few moments to boot up, focus, and then start playing whatever media you have. The speakers are great given the size, and should be enough to keep everyone happy during movie time. One more trick up its sleeve: the projector can pair with your smartphone and act as a Bluetooth speaker. The projector can accept sources up to 1080p resolution, so leave your UHD Blu Ray rips at home. It is recommended to charge the device in an environment with a temperature that ranges from 41☏ - 77☏ / 5☌ - 25☌. ![]() When charging, place the device in an environment that has a normal room temperature and good ventilation. ![]() This is a 720p projector, which won't blow you away, but it'll work well enough with all of your media. The ideal temperature range for this product and its accessories is 14☏ - 95☏ / -10☌ - 35☌. So how's the picture quality? Great, in relative terms. There's also automatic keystone correction and focusing, so all you have to do is just place the projector down and let it do the work of making the image look great. Using Android 7.0 it plays content from your favourite video streaming app. The Capsule is an immersive cinema that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. A soda-can size smart projector with high-contrast, a 360° speaker, Android 7.0 Nougat support and extended playtime. This projector can produce a 100-inch image when it's placed 10.1 feet from the wall or screen, making it perfect for a campsite or a backyard. Redefine your portable entertainment with the Nebula Capsule. Let the sun go down, and it's much better. They do show a photo of someone using it in a living room in the daytime, which would just be an unpleasant experience. Anker isn't really advertising this for business use, but it's worth noting. In both cases, it just doesn't get bright enough to see the subject without straining your eyes. I've tried using this during the day, both for watching movies and presenting materials in meetings. The lamp clocks in at 300 lumens, which relegates it to only being used at night.

Microsoft word support chat1/16/2024 ![]() In Word, you can get a first draft going with just a prompt. Instead of opening ChatGPT or Bing in a separate tab, you'll be able to access generative AI and data analysis directly within Microsoft's productivity suite. What if you could create, expand, and improve your documents with an AI chat experience? This is the question that Copilot for Microsoft 365 sets out to answer. How to use Microsoft Copilot in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint This is a useful shortcut to paste AI-generated text in a new Gmail email, a new WordPress post, or any input field anywhere on the web. ![]() Once you get your output, you can paste the response in any website you have open: just click the Add to site button. Length (it's a bit biased for longer responses) Tone, anywhere from professional to funnyįormat (paragraph, email, ideas, or a blog post) There are extra controls for zeroing in on what you want: Here, you can use a prompt to write a quick email, brainstorm ideas, or draft a blog post. The Compose tab generates content that you can paste easily into any input field on any website. ![]() You'll get a video ready with transitions, jump cuts, and colorful backgrounds right out of the gate. Upload your source video, choose a style, and select a background song. The Microsoft video editing app offers a simple user experience to polish your content, and now you can start a new project with AI Auto Compose. Moving on from the chat experience, AI landed in Clipchamp too. Now imagine doing all I've described above just by talking: you won't have to tab out to other apps to record a short note, do a quick fact check, or send a brief email-all this without leaving the task at hand. It replies back in voice, making it feel like you're having a conversation with your computer. The Windows dictation feature is excellent, sending what you're saying directly over to the AI. This becomes even more interesting when you use your voice to talk to Copilot. Search for answers about a topic online and store it in multiple Word files, organized in a folder inside your computer. Run a chain of actions involving multiple apps: based on a Notepad file, send that text to Word and expand it, generate images in the Microsoft cloud, and add them to the file. Troubleshoot issues with Windows by running an AI agent that finds solutions in Microsoft's knowledge base, creates a unique action plan, and executes the entire repair process while providing updates. If this keeps evolving, here are a few possibilities that I'm hoping will become true: This is still pretty good: the AI figured out my intent and offered a command to follow through. Alternatively, press the Windows key + C to check whether you have it installed. If your system is up to date and you were part of the release wave, you'll find the Copilot icon in your taskbar. Still in preview, Copilot for Windows 11 brings a chat experience into the operating system and a range of AI-powered features to Clipchamp, Photos, the Snipping Tool, and Paint. How to use Microsoft Copilot in Windows 11 As a long-time fan of Linux, I confess I'm excited by the prospect of using an AI-powered computer system. I tested these new features myself by signing up for the early-release channels. This means that you'll need an internet connection to access Copilot, as most personal computers aren't powerful enough for LLM-level work. The AI models there compute the appropriate response and send it back to the app you're using. When you ask Bing a question, start writing with AI in Word, or get into forecasting in Excel, a request flies out to the Microsoft Azure infrastructure. The features are spread out across the apps you use every day. The objective is to save time as you search, write, and ideate your way to get your job done. Microsoft 365 apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams)Ĭopilot's AI features include generative AI (text and images) and text and data analysis, among other things. What is Microsoft Copilot?Ĭopilot is a set of new features that combine large language models (LLMs) with existing Microsoft products: Offering an experience powered by the GPT and DALL♾ models, courtesy of Microsoft's close relationship with OpenAI, you'll now see new magic buttons and AI chat boxes spread throughout the Microsoft apps you use every day. Microsoft Copilot isn't that yet-but it's a step in the right direction. After the boom of AI chatbots, AI has spread to other apps to offer a better, more integrated experience. ![]() I dream of a day when my computer can act as my assistant: summarize my top email threads, queue up music playlists for work, and run a quick Google search in the background while I write-all through voice commands.

Veeam 12 release1/16/2024 ![]() Any questionable activity will alert users to the affected files and recommend when to initiate recovery. ![]() Veeam also raises red flags immediately following an attack. Senior Manager of Product Marketing at Veeam, Billy Cashwell, said: “We feel that the only true way to keep backups safe from attack, after they’ve been created, is to ensure that they are immutable.” With v12, users can make all backup copies immutable, regardless of whether it’s on-premises, in cloud object storage, or through service providers. Veeam’s driving force is to help turn that ratio upside down. Even more alarming, only 19% of organizations could recover their data without paying a ransom. After polling 1,000 IT leaders who suffered a ransomware attack in 2021, 94% of those attacks attempted to infect backup repositories. Veeam closely monitors the immense prevalence of cyber-attacks (as evidenced in their recent Ransomware Report). It’s no surprise that Veeam prioritized immutability in v12. Immutability is a Key Feature Blending Backup and Security Against Ransomware Threats Anytime immutability options increase, it offers an opportunity to secure and protect data on a whole new level. These new advancements are causing a stir among IT and security professionals. Enterprise applications support which helps businesses scale more efficiently–includes granular workload, schedule, and backup control.Group Managed Service Accounts with modified password management.MFA login and auto-logoff for improved security.Veaam Cloud Connect improvements for service providers to allow a complete restore within the Veeam Cloud Connect environment from tenant backups.Cloud-acceleration features that provide the ability to operate faster in the cloud without the constant need to go through block storage or agents.Immutability for all backups, making it easier to recover in case of ransomware and protect data from cyber threats. ![]() Veeam Backup & Replication v12 Features: What’s to ComeĪ few of the new features of v12 include: To further the v11a innovation, v12 represents the next wave of modern data protection. A particular focus of Backup & Replication v11a included cloud-native solutions to protect data across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Veeam released more than 30 product updates in the past year. Being able to switch storage vendors without the worry of costly expenses of migration will give decision-makers the freedom to restructure without putting their data or their budget at risk. That kind of versatility, paired with the ability to access your information from anywhere in the hybrid cloud, is a huge boon for anyone who wants to avoid cloud lock-in. Touting its ability to enable customers to control backup and recovery of data anywhere in the hybrid cloud, Veeam takes any issues with cloud mobility off the table. Veeam debuted its forthcoming new software version in May 2022 at the VeeamON conference in Las Vegas, NV. At the recent users’ conference, Veeam debuted its latest advancements in data protection. With its upcoming release of Backup & Replication™ v12, Veeam is again enhancing feature sets to prevent attacks and aid recovery from a data breach. Veeam® is a recognized industry leader in modern data protection, with a solutions suite continuously updated to protect businesses from accidental data loss and emerging cyber threats.

Perfect lipstick shade for me1/15/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() The best part is you can choose your ideal shade in a BUXOM product that suits your needs. With tons of fresh lipstick shades available in nudes, pinks, reds, and mauves, our lip colors are made for every BUXOM babe, no matter your skin tone. If you’re rocking a deep complexion, you can’t go wrong with berry shades of lipstick, like Full Force™ Plumping Lipstick in GLADIATOR and LOVER. Those with a medium complexion look killer in mauve colors, such as Serial Kisser™ Plumping Lip Stain in PUCKER UP DOLLY and FRENCHIE. If you’re fair-skinned, swipe on a pink-hued lip color like Full-On™ Plumping Lip Cream Gloss in PINK LADY (it's a cult favorite). To narrow it down, look to your skin’s complexion instead. Neutral-toned babes have the best of both worlds, as they look chic in lipsticks featuring warm or cool hues. BEST LIPSTICK SHADES FOR NEUTRAL UNDERTONES If yours seem to look both blue and green, then your skin has neutral undertones. You guessed it! Whip out your wrist and check those veins. HOW TO TELL IF YOU HAVE NEUTRAL UNDERTONES Just some of our favorite babes sporting neutral undertones include Selena Gomez and Dua Lipa. Yup, they’re both warm and cool, meaning you can throw just about any color at them and they’ll come out looking fierce. Those with neutral undertones have skin featuring both pink and yellow hues. Fair-skinned babes should opt for a lighter nude, while those with bronzed skin can rock a richer shade. Or why not make a bold statement in shades of copper or gold, like Full-On™ Plumping Lip Polish Gloss in CHARLIE and SARINA? These lush hues are the perfect lipstick color for warm undertones.Īs for nudes (the lip color, that is), try to match it to your skin tone. Go big with a fiery red or orange like Full Force™ Plumping Lipstick in POWERHOUSE and HOT SHOT. Warm-toned babes, we know what you’re thinking: what’s the best lip color for me? We recommend sticking to lipsticks with warm hues to complement your complexion. If they appear green (rather than blue), then your skin has warm undertones. The easiest way to work out your skin tone is to take a look at the veins on your wrist. Beyoncé, Eva Longoria, and JLo are just three bombshells sporting warm-toned skin. Typically, these babes tend to get more tan from the sun, rather than burnt. Those with warm undertones have skin that features a yellow, golden, peachy, or olive hue. |
