Although this is helpful at times, for the most part, a lot of people are paranoid about the fact that their personal data is always constantly being looked upon.

While you may already know how to take care of your personal details, such as usernames and passwords, there is a little more to staying safe than that. Wi-Fi hotspots available in libraries, coffee shops, hotels, airports, shopping centers and universities are terribly convenient, but the bad thing about them is that they’re not secure....

Similarly, if you have a large screen monitor or a multiple monitor setup hooked to your computer, you can leverage the extended screen estate to use multiple apps at once and get a lot more done. Unlike Apple, which restricts the number of apps you can run side-by-side on Mac (using split view) to just two, and thus requires users to use third-party window manager apps, Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system offers different split-screen options natively to allow you to work with multiple apps (or instances of apps) at once....

To give a quick explainer on the process — what we are essentially trying to do with this method is to leverage the potential of Wi-Fi and the built-in share utility found on both Windows and Mac. So, in order for us to be able to share files from Windows to Mac (or vice-versa), the first thing we need to ensure is that both machines are connected to the same Wi-Fi network....

But we want more than that. Our devices have batteries and those batteries are still quite poor, unless a fuell cell revolution will rescue us. For those that are afraid they might run off battery juice when they’re on a trip, Spare One Phone claims to have more than 10 years of battery life! But our devices get more powerful, thus more battery consuming, so how are we going to solve this issue?...
