Given the huge capacity of some of these drives, they’re also a great solution for backup. Ever wanted to put your complete music discography on a single drive, or backup that aging collection of DVDs still collecting dust on your shelf? Or maybe you want a digital home for all your personal videos and photos to live that, crucially, isn’t always connected to the internet and therefore vulnerable? Maybe you just want to archive every game save you’ve ever made, or move all your old documents off drives that are currently in active use....

All of these programs perform definition updates automatically, are always running to make sure your files are protected from malware and your personal information remains private, and can start scans on-demand whenever you like. However, each of them do have a few prominent differences that make them stand out, so pay attention to those as you decide which one to use. This is how it works: When a suspicious file is detected on any computer running Avira, a fingerprint of that specific file is generated and uploaded anonymously to Avira so that they can scan it and report its status (whether it’s safe or dangerous) back to every Avira user so that the program can take appropriate action....

Most have enough processing power, RAM, and storage to complete routine multitasking for the typical workday, but specialized models can rival the power of brawnier laptops or desktops with heavy-duty processors, expandable internals, and vivid and large displays with advanced graphics and color rendering. These attributes are helpful for creative tasks such as photo or video editing and enjoyable gaming. Above-average battery life that extends beyond a workday is also a bonus, and some models don’t require a recharge for 18 hours or longer....

Traditional hard disk drives and solid state drives function in essentially identical ways: storing information in dedicated channels for access at a later date. However, traditional hard disk drives use mechanical parts similar to old-school record players to read and write information, leaving them vulnerable to damage and file loss. Solid state drives store information in flash memory chips, making file storage and access much faster and stable, since there are no moving parts to worry about....

Bikes can be uncomfortable and intimidating for newcomers, and though much less expensive to maintain than a car, most require frequent gear adjustment, chain replacement, and lubrication. Most lack an included rack, leaving owners to sling on a sweaty, uncomfortable backpack. The Specialized Como SL 5.0 ($4,800) solves these issues with a friendly design that, in terms of refinement, feels like the iPhone of e-bikes. Yet the bike also makes tough decisions that undercut its appeal....

Instead of listing the features of the Apple Watch, which can be seen on Apple’s site, I asked watch users what had most surprised them about how they use it, vs. how they thought they were going to use it. The answers are, appropriately, surprising. “Unlocking my Mac is seamless and so helpful,” web designer Out-of-Season Jon told Lifewire via Twitter. “Also, dealing with texts quickly has been a surprise use....

“Music just taps into so many different parts of our brain. [It] allows me to perceive the invisible. Through the melody and the symphony of sounds, it makes something invisible very tangible. It’s so interpretative, and it serves as that middle medium between me and my audience,” she said in a phone interview with Lifewire. Over 100,000 people across TikTok and Twitch compose this streamer’s deeply connected audience. Choi hopes to unveil the hidden passion and god(dess) inside us all....

We’ve examined these two similar initialisms to help you make sense of them; here’s what you need to know about ULED and OLED TVs. Overall Findings At its most basic, “OLED” refers to the mechanism through which a display produces light (but not necessarily color). Meanwhile, “ULED” describes an entire system with hardware and optimizing software working together to create the entire image. In fact, it would be possible to make a ULED TV that contains an OLED, although none are currently available....

There are plenty of reasons for joining the service. One of the biggest is Google Voice’s personal privacy and security features. You can use them as a sort of receptionist or bouncer and set up a privacy firewall to deter spammers and more. Choose a New Google Voice Number Choose a new Google Voice number rather than porting a number you already have. When you choose a new number, it hides your real phone number by using the Google Voice one as a go-between....

Share Your Windows 7 Printer With Your Mac Printer sharing is usually a pretty easy DIY project, but in the case of Windows 7, conventional sharing systems just won’t work. Microsoft modified how the sharing protocol works, which means we can no longer use the standard SMB sharing protocol we normally use with older versions of Windows. Instead, we have to find a different common protocol that both the Mac and Windows 7 can use....

Unfortunately, Apple didn’t provide much information on how to use these new features; you may not even have noticed them. Here’s how to use both Auto-Save and Versions to manage your documents and improve workflow. Auto-Save Auto-Save monitors you as you work on a document. When you pause, it saves the document. If you work continuously, Auto-Save will perform a save every 5 minutes.
