On paper, it would appear to many that the Arduino simply does not compare to the Pi in any capacity, as the Pi is several magnitudes above the capabilities of the Arduino in terms of processing power. What people may not know is that the Pi and Arduino are two almost wholly different things: the Pi is a computer, and Arduino is what is called a microcontroller. About the Arduino A microcontroller is one component of many within a complete computer....

Unfortunately, while convenient for you, it’s also convenient for people with malicious intentions! These charging stations can be compromised in a way that accesses your phone without your permission.

The Qualcomm Battle That Gave Blackberry Its Boost Today, Blackberry sits comfortably over a pile of $815 million that it won in an arbitration case against Qualcomm, claiming that it was overpaying royalty fees to the company. The phone manufacturer saw a roughly 16 percent increase in its stock value as a result of the decision (taken from comparison of BBRYN stock between 04.11.2017 at closing and 04.12.2017 upon opening). This new influx of capital could lead the company to do a couple of great things, like boost its marketing efforts and appeal to the under-25 demographic (you know, people who don’t remember Blackberry phones)....

Why Is There a Concern? The boot process in your computer, in its simplest form, grabs your operating system from your storage and writes it into RAM memory.

That said, SSDs operate with chips that are similar to RAM (hence the term “solid state”; there is no moving parts)....

Clear Update Cache in Windows 10 Clearing the update cache in Windows is easy, but not as straightforward as it should be. Though we can use the Disk Cleanup Utility, it may not clear the update cache completely, so we are going to use the manual method.

What Happened? The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is a department of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) responsible for the allocation of every unique name and number used to identify a device or server communicating on the World Wide Web.

From that date onward, the non-profit organization has (technically) been given free reign over IANA....

Although Facebook and other social media are measured by Klout, Twitter is the primary source for determining your influence and Klout score because all of those interactions are public. Other social media interactions can be private or aren’t counted by the Klout measurement tool so they can’t be added to your score. Your social network profile will display as either a Curator, Broadcaster, Taste Maker, Celebrity, Syndicator, Feeder, Thought Leader, Pundit, Dabbler, Conversationalist, Socializer, Networker, Observer, Explorer, Activist, or a Specialist....

Let’s Get Started When you install add-ons in Firefox, some place icons in a toolbar that extends across the bottom of your web browser. Here’s how it looks by default on an Ubuntu desktop.

To alleviate this, let’s hop over to the Firefox add-ons site and download Puzzle Piece....

What Could Go Wrong? There is an argument for ensuring that a city has enough surveillance coverage to track the movements and routines of wanted criminals. The arrests made in Moscow prove that the system works as intended, with some of these criminals evading capture for years. However, we can’t ignore the eery idea that there are so many CCTV cameras in one city that the local government can virtually track every movement of each citizen and tourist that enters....
