More Light Allows Faster Shutter Speeds Under shutter priority mode, you set your camera’s shutter speed for a particular scene, and the camera then selects the other settings, such as aperture and ISO, based on the shutter speed you select. Shutter speed is the measurement of the amount of time that the shutter on the camera remains open. As the shutter is open, light from the subject strikes the camera’s image sensor, creating the photo....

Type of Protection: Primarily Based on Signature Detection McAfee relies primarily on signature detection, which compares files with signatures based on known viruses. If it detects any signs of infection, it’s able to isolate the infected file and either remove the malicious code, quarantine the file, or remove the file, depending on the details of the situation. Total Protection also includes heuristic analysis, which looks at the behavior of suspicious files to see if they might be malware....

There are many different types of problems that can manifest the symptoms described above. Insufficient RAM or even hardware failure could be the culprit. But, when a computer is slow, one of the most common causes is not having enough free space on a hard drive. Problems With a Crowded Hard Drive Filling your hard drive until it’s almost full can present many issues. First, your Mac needs some free space to use for creating swap space to manage memory use....

What Is a MODD File? A file with the MODD file extension is a Sony video analysis file, created by some Sony camcorders. They’re used by Sony’s PlayMemories Home (PMH) program to manage the files once they’ve been imported to a computer. MODD files store things like GPS information, time and date, ratings, comments, labels, thumbnail images, and other details. They’re normally accompanied by MOFF files, THM files, images, and M2TS or MPG videos....

Some users of the Mozilla application tend to be very passionate about their browser of choice, and this is perhaps most evident when looking at things like this Firefox crop circle. Where the History Began Back in September 2002, there was the release of Phoenix v0.1. The Phoenix browser, which would eventually become known as Firefox in later releases, started out looking like a stripped-down version of the browser we know today....

Google is working on a project that could use artificial intelligence (AI) to make traffic lights more efficient in a bid to decrease pollution. It’s part of a growing effort to harness the power of AI to fight climate change. “AI can help climate change through the energy sector by making the grid smarter,” Yeganeh Hayeri, an environment and transportation expert at the Stevens Institute of Technology, told Lifewire in an email interview....

What Is a PDD File? A file with the PDD file extension is most likely an Adobe PhotoDeluxe image file that was created with PhotoDeluxe. This image format is similar to Adobe’s PSD format in that they can both store images, lines, text, and layers. PhotoDeluxe was discontinued in 2002 and replaced with Photoshop Elements. However, as you’ll see below, Photoshop Elements isn’t the only program that can open and edit the file....

Overall Findings With modern smartphones and portable camcorders, you’ll never have poor quality video. This is less of a concern than it’s ever been. Instead, this debate comes down to how you want to record and how serious you are about it. Nearly everyone has a phone. While it may not be the latest and greatest one, it may be good enough for most situations. So, if you recently started shooting video, your phone is a safe and inexpensive route....

Predicting the Future of Networking — Evolution and Revolution The future of computer networking has been especially difficult to predict for three reasons: Because network technology has been developed over several decades, it would be logical to assume that these technologies will continue to gradually evolve over the coming decades also. On the other hand, history suggests that computer networking could someday be made obsolete by some revolutionary technical breakthrough, just as the telegraph and analog telephone networks were supplanted....

According to the researchers with security vendor BitSight, if exploited, the six vulnerabilities in the MiCODUS MV720 vehicle GPS tracker could enable threat actors to access and control the functions of the device, including tracking the vehicle or cutting off its fuel supply. While security experts have voiced concern about the lax security in smart, internet-enabled devices overall, the BitSight research is particularly worrisome for both our privacy and safety....

The Samsung 64GB EVO Select microSD Card is one of the best SD cards available and an extremely competitive storage option that buyers should consider whether or not they were initially looking for an SD card in the microSD format. It offers consistent and fast performance at a price that should get anyone’s attention. There are a lot of flashier looking options out there that make bolder marketing claims, but the EVO Select is still the right pick for most shoppers....

The lines are blurring between mid-range and flagship phones as device makers attempt to create the most appealing combinations of features at varying price points. Google’s Pixel 5 is one such example, pairing flagship perks with a less-powerful processor. Samsung’s Galaxy A71 5G is another such device, one that looks and (mostly) feels like a top-end flagship phone but makes a few smart tweaks to shave down the price point....

The makers claim that it’s much faster to get impressive results than using Photoshop and, while it isn’t the almighty powerhouse that ​Photoshop is, does it live up to the claim?

Rating: 4 1/2 stars To the top left, the Undo, Redo and Pan/Zoom buttons are prominent, with the Last Tip button alongside them....

What you lose are largely creature comforts—things like HDMI inputs/outputs (and therefore HDMI ARC compatibility), Wi-Fi and Ethernet functionality, Alexa / Siri / Google integrations, preamp outs, subwoofer outs. Okay, maybe a lot of those aren’t creature comforts to a good deal of shoppers, but I don’t imagine the STR-DH190 was very high on their list to begin with. You do still get plenty of great features however, like phono inputs with proper pre-amp, Bluetooth connectivity, the ability to connect two sets of speakers, and a very generous 100W per channel of power....

Well, Hollywood hasn’t died yet, but a five-month spell of Americans trapped in their living rooms has put the movie theater industry on life support. The pandemic is turning the entertainment business upside down and changing the dynamics of how audiences view content. “I think the trend [for] streaming will continue because the theaters are never going to recover,” said UCLA’s Howard Suber in a phone interview. “In the future, there will be much less of an ability to go to theaters....

If you are an avid gamer, you’ll want to look for a CPU with higher clock speeds that supports high amounts of RAM. However, don’t get too caught up in the number of cores and threads, as this will likely have less impact than other factors like clock speeds, memory, and your overall system storage. For content creators, it’s probably worth it to shell out a bit more cash for extra cores....
