During the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) this year, Apple revealed several operating system updates, including a look at many of the new features coming in macOS Monterey—the next version of its computer OS. One of the most interesting additions with Monterey is the introduction of what Apple calls Universal Control. It’s essentially a built-in system that allows you to move your cursor and content seamlessly between multiple Apple devices. The productivity benefits offered by such a system are already pretty straightforward, but experts say it could also save you money down the line....

What Is Internet Bandwidth? Before we get into how bandwidth and VoIP phones relate to each other, it’s essential to understand what bandwidth is, what it isn’t, and what its limitations are. Basics of Internet Bandwidth Essentially, bandwidth, as it relates to internet connections, is the capacity of an internet connection to move a given amount of information/data per unit of time (usually seconds).

So tagging means assigning a keyword or phrase that describes the theme of a group of articles, photos, videos, or other types of media files as a way to organize them and access them easily later. A tag can also be used to assign a piece of content to another user.

The other high definition resolutions in use are 720p and 1080i. These are the resolutions most frequently used in larger screen televisions to create better-detailed pictures. 4K resolution is used in commercial digital cinema using the 4096 x 2160 option, where many films are shot or finalized in 4K by upscaling from 2K (1998 x 1080 for the 1.85:1 aspect ratio or 2048 x 858 for 2.35:1 aspect ratio). Under its two official consumer labels, Ultra HD and UHD, 4K is well established in the consumer and home theater landscape, using the 3840 x 2160 pixel option (technically that is 3....

A higher resolution is certainly desirable in a digital photograph, as it means the camera uses more pixels to create the image, which should allow for greater accuracy or fidelity. The Technical Aspects of Megapixels On a digital camera, the image sensor records the photograph. An image sensor is a computer chip that measures the amount of light that travels through the lens and strikes the chip. The image sensors contain tiny receptors, which are called pixels....

Monitors are similar to TVs but usually display information at a much higher resolution. Also unlike televisions, monitors typically sit atop a desk rather than being mounted on a wall.

General Monitor Description On a desktop computer, the monitor connects via a cable to a port on the computer’s video card or motherboard....

Why Use a Stylus Most people use a stylus to write notes on a touchscreen, draw images, or make other notations on their phone or tablet.

Using a digital pen with a touchscreen mimics using a pencil with paper, except the information is digitized and can be saved or shared. As digital pens have become more popular, apps have sprung up to take advantage of their capabilities....

Apple devices with True Tone displays are less reflective and possess a wide range of colors.

What Is an ACSM File? A file with the .ACSM file extension is an Adobe Content Server Message file. It’s used by Adobe Digital Editions to activate and download Adobe DRM protected content.

The goals of database normalization are to eliminate redundant data and to ensure data dependencies make sense. A database is normalized when the same data is not stored in more than one table and when only related data is stored in a table. Origin of Boyce-Codd Normal Form Following a series of guidelines ensure that databases are normalized. These guidelines are referred to as normal forms and are numbered from one through five....

Instead of confirming two sets of data are identical by comparing the raw data, MD5 does this by producing a checksum on both sets and then comparing the checksums to verify they’re the same. MD5 has certain flaws, so it isn’t useful for advanced encryption applications, but it’s perfectly acceptable to use it for standard file verifications. Using an MD5 Checker or MD5 Generator Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV) is one free calculator that can generate the MD5 checksum from actual files and not just text....
