A recent update has allowed users to view the diagnostic data that Microsoft has been collecting about their usage habits and computer hardware. If users don’t like what they see, they can tell Microsoft to delete the data and it will be removed from their records (hopefully). What Is “Diagnostic Data?” Before we go snooping in what’s being logged and making decisions regarding whether we want to delete the data, it’s a good idea to know what this data is....

Brazil are one of the favourites to win the 2022 World Cup, and it’s not hard to see why. The South American giants have a squad full to the brim with talent, from Alisson in goal to Neymar and Vinicius Jr up top. But we’ve already seen a number of upsets in this tournament so far – can Serbia pull off another surprise? Here is everything you know about the game, including 4K streams and kick off time....

The United States could pull off the biggest result in their footballing (Actually, “It’s called soccer!” if you listen to the U.S. fans) history if they can defeat Holland, who’ve looked the part at the tournament thus far. For the U.S. to pull off the upset, much will depend on whether Christian Pulisic recovers from the pelvic contusion he suffered in scoring the winning goal against Iran on Tuesday, which sealed the Americans’ progress to the last 16....

For example, a simple Google search for “Spain vs. Netherlands” or similar will let you watched an abridged version of the match, courtesy of FIFA. You’ll also get to see all the match stats, which is another great addition. The only downer is that you can’t watch the highlights directly on the Google homepage. You’ll have to head over to fifa.com, but that’s only a small price to pay for quick and free access to the match highlights....

How to Watermark Images in Photoshop Launch Photoshop. From Finder or the File Explorer, drag and drop the photo to be watermarked into the window. Do not necessarily click “New” and set up a project if you are just adding a watermark to a pre-existing image. Again, launch Finder or the File Explorer and drag and drop your watermark on top of the newly-created project. Click the aspect ratio lock icon and begin resizing and placing your image....

To create or un-compress a Zip file on your device, it needs to be running iOS / iPadOS 13 or later. You can make a zip file through the Files app for any data saved locally on your iPhone, on a remote server, external device or network, or on iCloud Drive, as long as it can be accessed through the Files app. How to Zip Files on iOS Open up the Files app on your iPhone or iPad....

What’s Visa Doing? After the credit card breach at Target, it was quite obvious that card issuers had to act. But what were they supposed to do? A card has a 16-digit number that identifies it. You must use it to make a payment, and there’s really no other way around that. This is the situation we’re faced with. Once you give away that number, your bank account is at the mercy of the site you’re ordering from....

Installing from Scratch First, you will need an Ubuntu Alternate CD. For this example, I took a classic 10.04 i386 ISO from here. In case you don’t know, an alternate CD is like the regular one but without the fancy interface for installing Ubuntu, and it lets you access more options. Among these is the ability to hit F4 at boot to select “Install an LTSP server” from the different modes....

Install and Setup It might seem like there’s a clear winner here. After all, Ubuntu is the only one of these distributions with a proper installer. Arch affords something no formal installer can – full free-form customization Ubuntu’s fully graphical installer and live DVDs make it ideal for both beginners and people who don’t want to be bothered fiddling with and configuring every aspect of their system. You can click your way through with full guidance at every step....

Our Opinion Trevor sums it up in three easy words: “No it’s not.” He explains that the more “smarter” things we have, the less we retain. While it makes us more efficient, “we lose our connection to people, situations, and reality.” He looks at how quickly society wants things now versus fifteen or thirty years ago and says “it’s because we automated a lot, and there’s an app for everything.” Derrik agrees it’s not a good idea but for a different reason....

A recent study shows a connection between wealth and iPhone usage. They found that 69% of the people who own an iPhone or an iPad had wealth. We want to know from you, “Is your smartphone a symbol of your wealth?” Our Opinion Phil reports that “unfortunately” it is. His iPhone 5 “is careworn, second-hand, and out of date,” and he believes it’s probably more of a description of him personally than of his wealth....

First Impression: Slim and Beautiful The first time you take this keyboard out of its wrapping, you will be impressed by how slim it is. Only 18mm thick, it is probably one of the slimmest wireless mechanical keyboards. The unit I have is the smaller 87-key keyboard (without the number pad), though a 104-key keyboard is available for order too. The keyboard connects wirelessly via Bluetooth, so there is no separate adapter required....

The Easiest – Pages, Paper Size, and Orientation This is a very simple part of the printing settings page, and it is the same regardless which OS you use. The pages section is split into “All” or by the page. If you select all, you’ll print every page of the document. If you are in the select pages page, you can choose to only print a certain range of the document....

In this article we cover the rendering engines, the settings for rendering, quality levels, file types and all issues connected with taking your Blender scenes and making them into still images and video sequences. The basics of rendering are as follows. You need to set the size of the frame your camera will capture, and you need to set the quality of the rendered image.

1. You’re Using The Internet Your WiFi antenna uses a lot of battery power. Even while you’re not browsing the Web, the antenna will remain active as long as you leave it on. Turning off the antenna when you’re not using your phone will help maintain a healthy battery. On my phone, the WiFi antenna uses the most power. I understand this isn’t the case with all phones, but it’s a general trend....

Defining The API An API stands for – Application Programming Interface. But, of course, a quick Google search would have told you that. What you’re here to learn is exactly what an API does. APIs serve several different purposes, allowing people to add features of their own to applications. You generally hear about them when there’s a new operating system or software. APIs are various functions that give developers the ability to remotely access a web service (or OS) and build a client for the web service....

EyeXam EyeXam does a lot, but it suffers from being a newer app without all the promised info. It allows you to sign up and create a profile, then take an eye test with your iOS mobile device. It features the letter C pointed in different directions, and you have to identify which way it’s facing. It also checks for Astigmatism, Color Vision, and Macula. It gives you a recognized value for your eyesight, such as 20/20....

The Oppo-owned brand has taken to Chinese social network Weibo to confirm that it will be holding an event in Japan on December 17 at 14:30 local time. The machine-translated text reveals that the event will discuss “New direction, new action, new future”, as well as mentioning “OnePlus brands and products”. Given the low-key and really rather vague nature of the language and imagery used in this announcement, we’d suggest that this won’t be the launch event for the OnePlus 11....

Fortunately, Chrome makes it very easy to organize these buttons according to your needs. You can change their position or simply hide them from view to keep things clean. Let’s check out how you can organize Chrome extension buttons and focus on what matters most. Changing a Chrome Extension Button’s Position By default, Chrome adds the newly added extension buttons on the extreme right of the toolbar. This makes it hard to find the most used extension buttons between other less important buttons....
