Most computers come in either tower-sized models or desktop-sized models. Tower cases usually have screws that secure removable panels on either side of the case but will sometimes feature release buttons instead of screws. Desktop cases usually feature easy-release buttons that allow you to open the case but some will feature screws similar to tower cases. For screwless cases, look for buttons or levers on the sides or rear of the computer that are used to release the case....

Once connected, you can view and select songs through the head unit controls. This is one of the most streamlined ways to listen to an iOS device in your car—be it an iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Some head units can even read media from a USB flash drive, but most simply have a standard USB output. You will need to supply the cord that works with your device. Bluetooth is increasingly common in vehicle head units....

Overview of Photoshop’s Dodge, Burn, and Sponge Tools Adobe Photoshop’s Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools are great ways to shift the focal point of a photograph that didn’t turn out the way you’d hoped.

At Allina Health’s Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute in Minnesota, patients strap on headsets as part of their therapy. They play games like Fruit Ninja to help work muscles even when they are paralyzed. The program is an example of the growing use of VR to treat ailments ranging from PTSD to spinal cord injuries. “VR technology typically helps by allowing individuals to experience environments that may ordinarily cause discomfort, pain, anxiety or trauma in a way that is non-threatening or graded so that the viewer can more gently be introduced to the experience,” Dr....

Yann LeCun, the chief AI scientist at Meta, recently said that machine learning models could be trained without human-labeled examples. His remarks have given new life to the debate over whether machines as intelligent as humans are possible or even a worthy goal. “Human-level intelligence in AI is something that will remain to be seen in the near future,” EY’s global chief technology officer Nicola Morini Bianzino told Lifewire in an email interview....

Technically classified as a privilege escalation flaw, the bug enables attackers to become administrators if they have physical access to a computer. Interestingly, Microsoft first fixed the bug in August 2021, before the researcher who discovered it found the fix was broken. Microsoft then patched it again in January 2022, but this second fix was also found to be ineffective. “It’s, unfortunately, more common than it should be for any vendor to attempt to fix a vulnerability, only for people to find out that the fix isn’t as complete as it should be,” Will Dormann, Vulnerability Analyst at CERT/CC, told Lifewire in a Twitter DM....

When working on the go, a portable laptop mouse can be essential. Microsoft aimed to fix this product demand for travelling workers back in 2012. Their solution: the RVF-00052 Arc Touch, a viable office solution for workers who require mouse-heavy PC tasks on the go. With a simple design and touch-sensitive capabilities, it, in theory, works on nearly any surface and uses nano transceiver technology for optimal performance.

Biology Villagers are a passive mob that spawns in villages. Villagers come with many different professions and forms. The different professions of Villagers are farmers, blacksmiths, butchers, priests, and librarians. Their different forms are Baby Villagers (practically the same thing as a normal villager, but a baby) and the Zombie Villagers. Zombie Villagers act as if they are normal zombies, but keep the qualities of a villager. Currently, the only quality kept on a Zombie Villager that comes from the normal villagers is the head, which has a green hue versus the normal skin color....

Safari and Chrome add tabs across the top of the browser window, like tabs in a filing cabinet. These shrink as more tabs are opened, and eventually, you have to search for nothing but a website’s favicon. Vertical tabs move these labels to the side. You may still run out of space and have to scroll through the list, but each tab keeps its full width, which you can even increase to see the entire title of the page....

What Is an MSDVD File? A file with the MSDVD file extension is a Windows DVD Maker project. It’s not the actual media data that this file holds, but instead the XML content that’s used to describe the DVD’s menu buttons, title, media files that should be included in the DVD, and more. Although not as common, some files with the MSDVD extension are macros created by Macro Magic. How to Open an MSDVD File MSDVD files can be opened with Windows DVD Maker....

The NIC provides the hardware interface between a computer and a network. This is true whether the network is wired or wireless since the NIC can be used for Ethernet networks as well as Wi-Fi. Network cards that connect over USB are not cards; they are USB devices that enable network connections through the USB port. These are called network adapters. What Does a NIC Do? A network interface card allows a device to network with other devices....

When Will the Nintendo Switch Pro Be Released? It’s tough to say when or if the Switch Pro will come out because, well, Nintendo hasn’t said anything about it. Some say we won’t see new hardware until after March 2023, and Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said the following in early August 2022: This could suggest that a new model shouldn’t be expected anytime soon. But at the same time, it doesn’t really exclude the possibility....

They aren’t ugly. They look completely fine. And maybe people don’t want their sound gear to draw a lot of attention when they’re just trying to ride the bus in peace. But I will admit that my expectations were a bit low from the first impression. Behind the vanilla exterior, however, lie some salted-caramel features. Don’t think too hard about this metaphor. Don’t Hit Yourself in the Head With Your Phone The first thing you should do with any set of Bluetooth headphones is charge it completely....

Overall Findings Though the internal technology in optical and laser mice differs, the average user may not notice a distinction between the devices. Price used to be a factor when choosing between an optical mouse and a laser mouse, but the price gap has narrowed. Other factors may drive your choice, for example, if specific applications or situations call for certain features. Hardcore gamers may need a mouse with particular functionality....
