Twitter launches a new feature in the footsteps of Facebook

Twitter launches a new feature in the footsteps of Facebook


After adjusting for a maximum of 140 characters, which was considered one of the pillars of the site, the social networking site Twitter is preparing to launch a new feature preceded by Facebook a long time ago.

Many Twitter users have long been asking Twitter to give them the right to tweak their tweets. In the event of an error while typing, the user should delete the tweet completely rather than correct it. Recent reports indicate that Twitter is actually considering adding these Feature.

This feature will be a new button, which was confirmed by the CEO of Twitter, "Jack Dorsey", but the use of this feature is very limited, as can not modify old tweets, for example.

Facebook launches its new application

Facebook launches its new application


At the end of last August, the social networking site Facebook launched a new application for social communication aimed primarily at young people and adolescents. It is a copy of the famous application of young people "TikTok".

It seems that Facebook continues to copy the successful applications and features. After copying most of Snape's features after the latter rejected the acquisition of Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook is another application that is now a great success among young people, the TikTok application.


The new Facebook application features Lasso and allows users to create short videos attached to music in the background with the ability to share and comment on videos with friends. The new app is available on the Android and iOS platforms, but is currently only available to users in the United States.

What is the difference between the CPU and the GPU?

You may be puzzled when you hear the term CPU and GPU and do not know the difference between them? do not worry! In this post we will learn about both terms. The CPU and graphics processing unit (GPU) are very similar. They are both hundreds of millions of transistors and can process thousands of operations per second, but the question is, are they different or similar?

We can understand this by understanding each of them. First let's take a look at the CPU then we'll go for the GPU.

What is the CPU?



The CPU is part of a computer that performs all tasks and calculations related to each component of the hardware that is connected to your computer, to properly operate your device. That's why it's called a "CPU" because it manages every function, accounts for all hardware and software components owned by your computer. This is what qualifies them to be called computer brain.

The first company to produce the first CPU Intel, named 4004, which was the first CPU bit 4. Then, they designed on the structure of x86.


The CPU is also known as a "processor" or "chip," a powerful computer component that can do everything. The standard CPU has between 1 and 4 processing centers anywhere from 1 to 5 GHz. Almost every modern CPU consists of multiple cores to perform multiple tasks simultaneously and the overall performance is measured in GHz. Suppose the CPU has a basic speed of 2.4 GHz, which means that the processor is capable of processing 2.4 billion processes per second. The famous CPU manufacturers are AMD and Intel.

What is a GPU?

GPU (GPU) is a type of specialized CPU that is developed to meet a very specific need. Everything you can see on the display is due to the GPU, it is designed to do activities like VR, HD graphics, games, these things require a lot of power and this is where the GPU is designed for. The GPU performs a small portion of CPU operations and should be mentioned here at a very high speed. With a large number of core cores available, thousands of cores make calculations for thousands of pixels at the optimal time to display complex graphics.

The first company to develop the GPU was NVIDIA in early 1999, the unit was launched under the name GeForce 256. Graphics functions in computers containing these GPUs were handled by a VGA controller. The VGA function is to render the image data in the correct order of the display.


There are two types of GPU available. The first one is embedded inside the motherboard and can not be easily replaced or replaced. Another one has a dedicated slot on the motherboard, which is what we find in the desktop computers. GPU's interest initially was to deliver two-dimensional graphics but with the growth of desire in 3D, the GPU became more specialized and effective, although the GPU units are slower than the CPU, but are more available in numbers making them ideal in mathematical calculations and hyperthreading ) Enables the GPU to render complex 3D graphics needed for modern games.

Photos and videos: This is how Samsung's new folding phone works


As expected, as many media reports have pointed out in recent days, South Korea's Samsung recently unveiled its collapsible smartphone model on the sidelines of its developer event in San Francisco, California.


Samsung seems to be quick to unveil its model, especially after an unknown Chinese company unveiled its first foldable smart phone, so Samsung's new phone has an Infinity Flex folding screen that is flexible and able to bend and stretch easily.

Although Samsung did not give much information about the phone and although most of the pictures are distant and unclear because of the darkness, but now we know that the phone is opened and closed in book form, the screen measuring 7.3 inches but when folded become 4.3 inches, which enables the operation of three Applications synchronously.

Google's new "Google Dataset Search" What is it, and who's prompt?

Google's new "Google Dataset Search" What is it, and who's prompt?
To make it easier to access data repositories, Google has launched a new tool called Dataset Search. This tool can be used by scientists, journalists, and other people to find the exact data they are looking for to support their work.

The Dataset search workflow is exactly like the work of Google Scholar. Gives you the ability to find data sets from sites that are hosted. This can be from the website of the organization or from the personal site of the person who published the data.

In order to facilitate smooth access to the data set, Google has created a set of guidelines that data group providers can use to make their data accessible to Google Search. The search engine must be able to understand the content of its data. Some of these information include:


  • Brief information about the data
  • Data Builder
  • The person who collected the data
  • Methods used during data collection
  • The date on which it was published
  • Data usage conditions
Using the information above, Google will analyze the data and collect a set of different versions of the same set of data that might exist on the Internet. It uses the schema.org standard, an open standard for describing data on the Internet. Data providers are encouraged to use the same standard to describe their data.

A variety of references

Dataset Search provides a broad source of references for any collection of data collected. Although environmental and social sciences are some of the main sources of references, governments and news organizations are also the main sources of data. The fact that most other data repositories include using the schema.org criterion to describe their data means that Dataset Search is able to access a lot of data at any time. This also gives room for the growth of this tool.

Dataset Search Multilingual. There are plans to integrate more languages into the tool. It also has an easy-to-use interface making it easy to use. You simply need to write down the information you are looking for and the rest of the task will be accomplished for you.

The Wandrd Prvke is a near-perfect camera bag

Wandrd Prvke 21L Backpack with Camera Cube
$...

The quest to find the perfect camera bag is never-ending. It’s not unusual for a photographer have a closet jammed full of various packs that work pretty well for most situations, but are not ideal for others. The classy looking packs often don’t hold enough gear while the ones with ample space often end up being too bulky for travel.
For my typical shooting needs the Prvke has proven to be nearly perfect, which is an incredible feat for a camera bag.
At first glance, I liked the design of the Prvke bag (pronounced Provoke) from Wandrd, but was concerned that it would be yet another backpack with understated urban looks that simply isn't functional as a camera bag. But I can happily say that Wandrd won me over - for my typical shooting needs the Prvke has proven to be nearly perfect, which is an incredible feat for a camera bag.

Specifications

  • Exterior: 17 x 11 x 6.5in / 43 x 30 x 16.5cm
  • Interior Volume: 25L with roll-top expanded
  • Camera Cube Insert: 9 x 11 x 5in / 23 x 30 x 13cm
  • Laptop Sleeve: 14.5 x 9.5 x 1in / 37 x 24 x 2.5cm
  • Tablet Sleeve: 13 x 9 x 5 / 33 x 23 x 13cm
  • Weight: 2.8lbs / 1.3kg

Design & Construction

A look inside the Wandrd Prvke from the back entrance: The area where the camera gear is (called the Camera Cube) can be completely removed.
The Wandrd Prvke bag is designed to be multi-functional for carrying both camera gear and personal items - something lots of packs try to do, but ultimately fail. The design was conceived by three photography-minded brothers and their attention to detail makes me think they too were tired of the 'almost there, but not quite right' camera backpacks.
The Prvke has an understated roll-top design with a fairly slim profile - it’s constructed from water-resistant tarpaulin and woven nylon and has a rain-fly with a dedicated pocket at the bottom of the bag. The roll-top opens and closes with high quality Velcro and is secured with a large metal hook. The removable Camera Cube comes with the Photography Bundle for $264 (or can be purchased individually for $39) and fits nicely into the bag’s back compartment. Velcro is used to secure it into place.
You can access the Camera Cube from a zipped entryway on the side of the pack.The roll-top is secured closed with Velcro and a big metal hook.
The Prvke has three points of entry: the roll-top, a left side pocket for camera access into the Cube while on the go (shown above) and a back entrance to completely open the pack. Above the Camera Cube there is a mesh zipper compartment that allows you to access anything that may have been stashed through the roll-top. On the left side of the bag you will find a small zipper pocket for memory cards and a separate Velcro pocket for other small camera accessories.
An internal laptop/tablet compartment keeps these devices flush against your back when wearing the pack. Two straps ensure the compartment doesn't fly completely open when unzipped.
Once the bag is unzipped there are dedicated sleeves for both a laptop and a tablet (see above). And on the back of the Prvke there is a dedicated passport sleeve with a small mesh pocket (see below).
I was able to fit a 5D Mark IV body, a 70-200mm lens and a 24-70 lens in the cube without issue.
Although the removable Camera Cube was designed with a mirrorless system in mind (a body, plus a large and medium sized lens) the molded dividers make it possible to carry a full frame DSLR with lenses as well. I was able to fit a 5D Mark IV body, a 70-200mm F2.8 lens and a 24-70 F2.8 lens in the cube without any issues.
A small compartment on the back has space for a passport and other items, a nice touch for photographers on the fly.Magnetically-connecting carrying straps (located on top) are just one of many handy features of this pack.
Behind the roll-top there is a fleece lined pocket for a phone and on the side of the bag a small pocket with a clip for your keys. A large flat pocket runs the length of the bag’s front side - a great place for a notebook, magazine or other paperwork. On the right side of the bag there is an expandable pocket for a water bottle or a small tripod.
The Prvke has lots of pockets and areas to store both personal items and camera gear. The side pocket can be used to carry a water bottle or small tripod. And a zippered area on front is perfect for storing magazines, notebooks or a book.The other side of the pack offers a small storage pocket with a connector for keys. Camera gear can be accessed through the zippered area lower right.
The Prvke features a number of optional add ons too: a removable chest strap, a removable waist belt and an accessory strap system that can attach to six different points on the bag for carrying a larger tripod, lighting accessories, a jacket or even minimal camping gear.
The bag comes in three colors (classic black, wasatch green and aegean blue) and two sizes (21L and 31L). Our review bag is the 21L in wasatch green.
A removal waist belt adds another place to store small items.And accessory straps allow one to easily connect even bulky items, like camping gear, to the bottom of the pack.

In Use

I’ve used this bag in a variety of different situations and I’ve yet to notice anything major that I didn’t like about it. While it may not be the ideal bag for traveling with multiple camera bodies (although it isn’t impossible), for a one body, two lens shoot that requires me to bring a laptop along, it’s the closest to a perfect bag that I’ve found.
The lay-flat design of the bag makes it ideal for traveling through airport security - the Camera Cube and the laptop sleeve are both checkpoint friendly, so in theory, you won’t need to unpack your gear bag when flying.
For a one body, two lens shoot that requires me to bring a laptop along, it’s the closest to a perfect bag that I’ve found.
And the three different access points make this bag particularly user friendly. You can grab a camera body from the left side without removing the bag fully from your back, lenses and accessories are quickly accessed by unzipping the back panel and you can even access items in the roll-top through the back. The expandable roll-top on the bag is great for stashing any odds and ends that you might pick up.
The zippers were easy to manipulate and none of the dedicated sleeves or pockets suffer from the stiffness that new camera bags sometimes have. Everything fits where it’s supposed to and does so with ease.
The straps are a comfortable amount of thickness and the bag distributes weight nicely - even when fully loaded with gear it didn't hurt my shoulders. The waist belt and chest strap are nice touches, and might be appreciated if you were taking the Prvke on a long outdoor adventure.
The Prvke is the best camera bag I’ve used in a long time.
I found the various small pockets within the Prvk very useful: the fleece lined top pocket was a great place for storing my shades and that side key pocket gave me peace of mind as I traveled away from New York City with the bag.
We're big fans of the removal Camera Cube.
My complaints about this bag are minor. The zippers around the Camera Cube can occasionally get tangled with the zippers within the back compartment that cover the cube - a minor annoyance, considering sometimes it just took a few additional seconds to zip everything together. Some might say that the second zippered flap might be unnecessary, but the additional layer of protection of my lenses gave me peace of mind while using the bag.
The bag was also a little snug when traveling with two bodies and two small lenses - although it should be noted that I was testing out the 21L version and I’m guessing these issues would be resolved if I’d been using the 31L model.

What’s the Bottom Line

The Prvke is the best camera bag I’ve used in a long time. It has a durable build, it is functional as both a camera backpack and an everyday backpack and it looks nice. It hits the trifecta of sought-after qualities in a camera bag. Also important, it feels like it will hold up over time. And for the quality that you are getting, the $264 price tag (which includes the Camera Cube, waist strap, accessory straps and rain-fly) it doesn’t feel excessive. We also like that the Camera Cube can be removed and used in a different bag allowing you to use The Prvke as a place to store clothing and personal items while you are on the road.
What We Like:
  • Durable build
  • Functional as a multi-use bag and a dedicated camera bag
  • Removable Camera Cube
  • Utilitarian design
  • Small organizational pockets
  • Back mesh pocket with entry to roll-top
  • Nice weight distribution, comfortable to carry
  • Holds the gear necessary for an average shoot
What We Don’t Like:
  • Zippers around the Camera Cube and the zippers within the back of the bag getting tangled together
  • The, at first glace, difficult to pronounce name of the bag

Tesmo Universe Book Review


Tesmo Universe Book Review
EDITORS' RATING: 7/10
PROS
  • It uses a 6-ring planner standard
  • Frontside wireless charging
  • Inside front cover flaps
  • Backside USB-C, micro-USB, Lightning charging
  • Nicely designed planner pages
CONS
  • Relatively expensive
  • Can't wirelessly charge and use planner at same time
  • No blank pages included
The Tesmo Universe Book is one of the strangest devices I’ve ever reviewed here with SlashGear. It’s one of the strangest devices I’ve ever come in contact with, come to think of it. Not because it’s particularly strange in its abilities, but because of the unique nature in which it’s presented.
The Tesmo Universe Book has the ability to charge your smartphone. It’s also a planner with a bunch of pages of well-designed layouts that encourage the user to partake in the activity of planning. I like fun icons and I like quantifying things – this is the sort of paper-based impetus I need to get my everyday life in order. But this planner also charges your smartphone.
Why would you need your notebook to charge your smartphone? That’s not the first question I asked when I was first presented with this unique device. The first question I asked was: Why are they calling this binder of paper a… “device?” Because it’s a power bank, that’s why.
In the back cover of the Tesmo Universe Book is a set of cords and plugs. You’ll find one Lightning plug for your iPhone and/or iPad. You’ll find a micro-USB for your devices released several years ago. You’ll find a micro-USB-to-USB-C converter dongle here so you can charge all your new Android devices.
There’s also a big-side USB plug so that you’ll be able to re-charge the power pack within. The amount of power within (approximately 8000mAh) is indicated with a set of lights that turn on at the press of a hardware button. There’s also a stylus/pen loop here to keep your stylus or pen all looped-up and safe.
This device has a wireless charging pad (Qi standard) in its frontside. Likely you’ll place your wirelessly charged device there when you’re having a snack, or sitting in class, or maybe even while you’re on-the-go, with your device sitting neatly next to the Tesmo Universe Book in your travel bag. Supposing you’ve got a unique situation in which to use this product, it’s certainly here to make that possibility a reality.
The Tesmo Universe Book is exactly what it suggests it is, and it’s delivered in a package that’s nice to look at and use. The internal components work and the external materials are of fine quality. It’s been made according to the wills and wishes of the masses, as it was originally a Kickstarter project. Because of this, it’s been given a standard planner format – you can buy replacement sheets – A5 6-ring binder style.
If you need a Tesmo Universe Book, you’re going to have to pay for it. You’ll have to shell out $129 (that’s one-hundred and twenty-nine dang dollars) for the privilege of owning a Tesmo Universe Book. For that kind of money, you’re really going to need to appreciate the amount of detail this group of creators put into each page: the pressed lettering, the stitching, everything. Such is the life of an all-in-one product – sometimes cheaper in pieces, tempting but maybe-overpriced stuck together. You’ll find Tesmo over at Tesmo dot co right this minute.

Foobot Indoor Air Quality Monitor Review


Foobot Indoor Air Quality Monitor Review
EDITORS' RATING: 7/10
PROS
  • Opens your eyes to air quality at home
  • IFTTT integration
  • Keeps a log of data and incidents
CONS
  • No standalone display
  • Arguable price tag
Houses these days are teeming with technology to help us live convenient, productive lives. Those range from simple (or sophisticated) home network routers to the smartphones we carry with us everywhere. Some more tech-savvy homeowners even have programmable lights, smart thermostats, and hi-tech locks. Very few of these devices, however, seem to be geared towards helping us live healthy lives. That’s where the Footbot comes in, bringing those technologies together to make sure you know whether you’re breathing clean and safe air or not.
You might mistake the Foobot as a smart speaker or an air freshner due to its white tower design and the bright LED light that runs around one of its sides. Given its true nature as a smart air monitor, those do come close to describing it. The design is nondescript and can easily serve as a part of your room decor, depending on your tastes. It’s USB-powered so you can even hook it up to your desktop if you want.
The Foobot’s most eye-catching detail, however, is its lighting. The LED color indicates the quality of the air it senses, ranging from blue for good, orange for worry, and red for danger. The light is meant to be bright enough to be easily visible during the day but it could be distracting at night, especially in the bedroom. Fortunately, the accompanying app lets you tone that down a little or even turn if on or off on a schedule.
Of course, the Foobot is more than just a pretty face. It has to be, given its price tag. It’s real talent is in how well it analyzes the air around you and the dangers that invisible particles might cause. The Foobot measures four things. Humidity and Temperature, admittedly, are things you can already get from some smart thermostats. The real difference is in measuring the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) like methane, ammonia, and iso-butane in cleaning sprays and old furniture, and the Particulate Matters like dust and fumes that could cause allergies and asthma.
The Foobot is easy to set up and connect to your Wi-Fi network but it takes around 6 days for it learn the area’s “normal” air and start sending you notifications for changes in air quality. When it does start to work, it can be pretty sensitive, alerting you to the slightest change, like when you’re cooking or cleaning. And there lies one of the Foobot’s few flaws: you won’t really know anything until you look at your phone.




The monitor’s bright LED light is simply an at-a-glance indicator of air quality but whether you’re curious about the current state of the air or you have been alerted to a spike in harmful particles, you won’t have a clue. It would have been nice if Foobot included even a small LCD screen to give you the stats. As it stands, you’ll have to fish out your smartphone to know what’s up.
That said, there’s plenty to see and do in that app. The Foobot app goes into detail with each of the values that the monitor measures, including carbon dioxide (which is simply interpolated rather than measured directly). Better yet, it even keeps a history of those readings to help jog your memory when the time comes. The app will also ask you to tag spikes so that you will remember you were simply cooking when that data was recorded.



By itself, that’s pretty much all that Foobot does. It analyzes the air around it and alerts you to any problems it detects. Yes, it can give you tips on how to alleviate the situation but you still end up doing all the work. That is unless you already have a smart home. One thing that sets Foobot apart from the competition is its integration with other connected products. If you have an Amazon Echo, you can ask Alexa to tell you what the current air condition is and the assistant will also give you tips on how to make it better. If you have a Nest thermostat that’s connected to a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC), the two can work together to set the right temperature and conditions automatically.
And if that weren’t enough, Foobot also has support for IFTTT, which opens up a whole new world of home automation. You can turn smart humidifiers on or off as needed, create your own spreadsheet log of data and incidents, or turn all lights in the house to red when the air quality is at its worst. You’re pretty much just limited to the smart appliances you have and whether they’re supported on IFTTT as well.
At $199 on Amazon, the Foobot Indoor Air Quality Monitor is pretty much on par with its rivals in terms of price. That, however, raises the question of whether such products do warrant that cost. While some would say you can’t put a price tag on health, you can definitely put a price tag on IoT devices like this. That said, with Nest, Echo, and IFTTT support, the Foobot sets itself apart from the competition and may at least make it worth the expense.
