Cash flow and expense tracking At the most basic level, credit cards have two valuable uses for budgeting: Help you manage cash flow by granting you 30 days to pay, interest-free.Track every expense you make – very helpful for budgeting. The cash flow advantage helps you smooth out your income and spending needs throughout the month, so you don’t get caught with a big expense on the 10th when your paycheck doesn’t arrive until the 15th....

And we all know how important flow is. A few seconds of setback can take you minutes to recover from (especially when you’re in the zone). So, how do you create this custom Flow? Let me show you. All you’ll need to make this work is either a MacBook Pro/Air or an iMac running macOS Monterey or newer. With such a device at the ready, let’s get our Focus on....

In theory. The reality can be a bit different. Apps crash. I have it happen with some regularity. This is especially so with Apple Mail. It might seem to be working fine, but out of nowhere it’ll stop syncing with my IMAP accounts, and the usual method of closing the app does no good. What do you do? Restart the machine? That’s one way of taking care of the situation....

If that sounds like your experience with Windows, I’d like to introduce you to something better, more reliable, and free. Said something is Linux and it’s been my operating system of choice since 1997. Now, back in those early days, Linux was a significant challenge to use and an even greater headache to install. That was then, this is now. With some small exceptions (such as Gentoo and Arch), modern Linux has become incredibly easy to use and even install....

Well, while there’s no doubt that this is the laptop with the best battery life I’ve ever used, I’ve found that the more battery life I have, the more I use it. So, I still need to set up my laptop so that I get the very best possible battery life from the system. Also: 5 tech gadgets I never leave home without (and they make great gifts) Here’s what I do to my MacBook running macOS Ventura to get the best possible battery life....

Do you use every app installed on your Android device? If not, why do you keep those unused apps installed? You might not have ever considered this, but it is not beyond the realm of the possibility that an Android app development could languish. Should that happen, an app could wind up with exploitable vulnerabilities. If you keep that unused app on your phone, it’ll just sit there, waiting to be exploited....

As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. To be able to keep watch over him, and still meet deadlines, I decided to make use of one of the many Android phones I had lying around. With the help of a simple-to-use application, called DroidCam. This app makes it remarkably easy to create a security or webcam that can be used for many applications (security, monitoring, etc.). Let me show you how this is done....

Also: How to choose the right Linux desktop distribution for you And with both Flatpak and Snap, you can install third-party (non-open-source) applications like Spotify and Slack (that would otherwise be a bit challenging to install for those not accustomed to the command line). In other words, Flatpak and Snap make it far easier to install the applications you need on Linux. Also: The best Linux laptops The problem is, out of the box, many Linux distributions might include Snap and Flatpak, but they don’t configure the desktop in such a way that either of these technologies is built into the GUI app stores....

While in recent years, smartphone and mirrorless cameras have rocketed in image quality and usability, the DSLR is still a well-respected and popular tool in the hands of enthusiasts and professional photographers. Paired with the right lens or settings, you can transform a potentially dull, uninspiring photo into something worthy of being on display in your home. However, as with many products, there’s a learning curve and you can’t run before you walk....

Throughout the years, Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom have become favored tools in the hands of photographers to polish their images to the point where other companies – such as Loupedeck – have created decks compatible with Adobe software to streamline workflows. As a professional photographer, I use both Photoshop and Lightroom, although I lean more toward Lightroom for event work, such as festivals, weddings, and portraits, alongside photo restoration work....

HP Adaptive Endpoint Management is available now, while HP Connect for Microsoft Endpoint Manager will be available in December, and HP Cloud Endpoint Manager will be rolled out in January. The tools, according to HP, were created with hybrid work in mind. Employee device management has become exponentially more difficult since remote work was embraced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “HP is helping customers take advantage of true enterprise mobility by removing barriers to cloud management adoption,” said Nicole Dezen, vice president of device partner sales at Microsoft....

Enter the MateBook 16s – successor to the AMD-based MateBook 16, which earlier this year we judged ‘could be a real winner’ with a better webcam. This comment was aimed at Huawei’s notoriously quirky camera that popped up from a key in the Fn row, giving an unflattering ‘up the nose’ viewing angle during video calls. That’s fixed in the new model, which is based on 12th-generation H-series Intel Core processors and features a 2....

Labelled as the “first joint product of the two enterprises”, the electric vehicle will have level 4 autonomy and “exciting new energy capabilities”. While GAC will be providing the chassis, Huawei will be bringing the computing and communication aspects, with the pair planning “eight models and multiple series” of electric vehicles. In June, GAC, Huawei, and Didi said they would be “pooling resources, data, and scientific research”. “One exciting project that GAC is working towards in cooperation with Huawei and Didi is ‘Level 4’ autonomous vehicles, which can operate almost entirely without input from humans (current driver-assist mechanisms are classed as Level 2 autonomy),” the trio said at the time....

Professionals who work in the office full-time, meanwhile, reported the lowest average salary at $131,000....

At last it can stick it to companies that, once upon a time, laughed in its face. Like Google, Apple, and, well, Nokia. Also: One million people have joined the waitlist for Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has leaped on the latest tech wizardry – or, perhaps, the latest wildly imperfect tech nonsense to enchant simple minds – and brought it to Microsoft’s red-headed stepchild, Bing. Yes, new, improved Bing....

IBM will be working with the government on a variety of initiatives that include quantum computing, AI, cloud, and research projects. The Quebec-IBM Discovery Accelerator will help researchers with the government and the Universite de Sherbrooke work on projects in areas like semiconductors, energy, sustainability and life sciences. François Legault, Premier of Quebec, said acquiring an IBM quantum computer will pave the way for them “to make incredible progress in areas such as artificial intelligence and modeling....

Are you buried in charging cables for your iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone, and legacy devices that use microUSB? What if I told you there’s one cable that could replace, well, most of your old charging cables? Enter the Rolling Square inCharge X. Regular readers might remember that I looked at the inCharge 6 back in May 2020, and the inCharge X is an upgrade on this design. Specifically, it brings 100W USB-C power transfer and support for Apple’s 18W fast charge....

NetBlocks, an organization tracking internet access worldwide, said the internet was restored in Yemen after a four-day nationwide outage. At about 1am local time on Friday, Yemen suffered a total internet blackout due to airstrikes on a telecommunications hub in the port city of Al Hodeida. Some online shared photos of a telecommunications building damaged by bombs. The Associated Press eventually confirmed that the attack on the telecommunications hub in Al Hodeida was part of a larger aerial assault on Yemen’s Houthi rebels by a Saudi-led coalition....

But before you get sucked into buying because the deal is 50% claimed, have you wondered if that deal you’re getting is actually a good deal? In the end, it’s our hard-earned money we’re using to buy something, so it’s always a good idea to check that we’re actually getting a good price. Also: Gen Z loves Walmart far more than Apple. Well, how about that? To spot fake reviews, check when there are too many similar ones written within a day or a few days of each other, or if they have similar pictures....
