For that reason, I developed the perfect solution that will make both your life and your family’s easier: a Wishlist PowerPoint. Buying people gifts and spending money on gifts is already a challenge, but buying gifts that people actually enjoy is even harder. Comments such as “Please don’t worry about getting me a Christmas gift,” or “Don’t get me anything, I have everything I need,” are entirely unhelpful. Your loved ones are still going to get you something, and you are just making their lives more difficult....

When you’re carrying a lot of high-interest debt, it’s hard to imagine how another credit card can possibly help your situation. However, the right kind of credit card – a balance transfer card – may actually provide some relief. But before you can realize the benefits of a balance transfer, you have to consider how much you might be paying in interest now. Let’s say you’re carrying $5,000 in revolving credit card debt at an 18% APR....

Securing your account with a strong password – potentially generated by using a password manager – that you don’t use for any other accounts is the first step towards keeping your Facebook account secure. But by adding two-factor authentication (2FA) – also known as multi-factor authentication – you can add another layer of security to your account to help keep intruders out, even if they’ve managed to get hold of your password....

One such feature is the virtual desktop. Also: How I revived three ancient computers with ChromeOS Flex With that said, how do you create and use these virtual desktops? Let me show you. I’ll be demonstrating on ChromeOS 105.0.5195.5 (from the Dev channel). With virtual desktops, you can create a desktop for, say, Productivity, Social Media, Communication, News, or whatever category you need. Once you’ve created the virtual desktops, you can group apps (or web browser windows/tabs) together for a particular task....

1. Take a break to reset your mind Simon Liste, chief information technology officer at the Pension Protection Fund, says the right technique to combat the 3pm slump depends on the individual. However, everyone can benefit from having a break and taking 15 minutes away from the computer screen. “It’s good to take a little bit of time to reflect,” he says. “Whether it’s going for a walk or something to clear your mind, such as reading a book, it’s good to reset because then you’re switching on another aspect of your mind....

A few months later, in the first two quarters of this year, as I was in the market for a vehicle myself, I spent considerable time researching EVs. Many dealers have been asking $10,000 and above MSRP for EVs due to lack of inventory or extremely high demand. I eventually purchased a 2022 Polestar 2 myself, as it was one of the few manufacturers with inventory available and willing to sell one of its cars at MSRP....

But, as I’m sure most are aware, Twitter has been a bit of a mess lately. And it’s not somewhere I want to use my energy or spend any time on. But like the rest of my Twitter-addicted friends, I can’t just quit Twitter. I need something to replace it, and right now, it looks like Mastodon is that thing. I technically have had a Mastodon account since 2018 when it first launched, but that sat dormant until a couple of months ago when I signed back in, just in case....

Or perhaps I just think I am. I get to the airport early. I don’t need to lounge in a lounge. I hope there’s no one annoying sitting next to me, especially not a baby. And I hope the plane leaves on time, arrives on time and the airline doesn’t lose my luggage. In the meantime, I sit, read and perhaps fall asleep. (Work? Are you serious?) I tend not to use gadgets on planes....

And after comparing the 1080p content that I have been watching with the 4K stuff I’ve been seeing at my friends’ houses, I decided that I had to have a new TV for the upcoming Big Game and the Beijing events. Who am I kidding? I don’t watch a lot of sports. I want it for UHD Marvel and Star Wars movies. So I went shopping for a suitable replacement....

Not your actual scientific kind, you understand. Just the kind that ends up illuminating my world in unexpected ways. Here I was the other day at Lisbon Airport, Terminal 2, and suddenly hunger attacked. In the near distance was one of society’s foremost culinary sanctuaries, McDonald’s. So while my wife went to get something healthy, I succumbed to experiencing the joys of a Portuguese Big Mac and, of course, fries....

A Quantum System One, IBM’s flagship integrated superconducting quantum computer, is now available on-premises in the Kawasaki Business Incubation Center in Kawasaki City, for Japanese researchers to run their quantum experiments in fields ranging from chemistry to finance. Most customers to date can only access IBM’s System One over the cloud, by connecting to the company’s quantum computation center in Poughkeepsie. Recently, the company unveiled the very first quantum computer that was physically built outside of the computation center’s data centers, when the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany acquired a System One....

Bitcoin is bits. Random electrons represented as values in a blockchain. It costs an unconscionable amount in terms of power consumption to create non-corporeal cryptocurrency coins, backed by absolutely nothing of value. In other words, other than the bizarre fact that the value of all of Bitcoin is something slightly south of $800B, the whole thing is bonkers. Even so, last week I decided to “invest” in Bitcoin (yes, the scare quotes are real)....

According to the State of the Mobile Union report, AT&T and Verizon tied for delivering the best the overall performance across the US in the second half of 2021.
