This low profile mount includes thumbscrews for easy pitch and roll adjustment, and it even has a standard pipe thread if you have high ceilings and need to offset the mount to get a straight shot at your projector screen. We recently installed a PGRS-UNV in a home theater setting, testing out how easy it is to install and adjust, how well it performs in regular usage, how sturdy it is, and more....

Sony reportedly has warned analysts that supplies of the console will be tight through 2022. Chief Financial Officer Hiroki Totoki said at a recent briefing that supply won’t be able to keep up with demand for the foreseeable future, Bloomberg reported. It’s been so hard to get a new console in recent months that users have resorted to paying scalpers and spending hours perusing retailers’ websites. The PlayStation 5 launched last November, starting at $399 for PS5 Digital Edition and $499 for PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive....

This “PowerPoint” tool is more of an animation maker because, if you want, you can have it play as a movie instead of a click-through presentation. Switching between the two is very easy and doesn’t affect the presentation permanently. Right off the bat, Powtoon comes off as a great service because you can use it online and because there are lots of tools available, but it’s severely limited because there’s also a paid version....

What Rasterize Means Photoshop creates type and shapes in vector layers. No matter how much you enlarge the layer, the edges remain sharp and clear. Rasterizing a layer converts it to pixels. When you zoom in, you can see the edges are made up of tiny squares. When you rasterize a layer, it loses its vector features. You can no longer edit the text or scale text and shapes without losing quality....

CyberNews reports that RockYou2021, an homage to 2009’s RockYou data breach, is an almost 100GB text file containing close to 8.4 billion (yes, billion) emails and passwords.

This makes it the largest collection of compromised account info in history, and could likely effect all 4.7 billion people in the world who have an online presence. The user who uploaded this list is presumed to have collected and compiled the data from several years worth of previous attacks, including the original RockYou breach that it’s named after....

Understanding Serif Fonts The roman type classification is filled with serif typefaces. Serifs are small lines attached to the ends of strokes in a letter. A typeface that uses these small lines is called a serif typeface. A typeface that doesn’t have serifs is called a sans serif typeface. Roman serif fonts are overwhelmingly used in publications with long text passages, such as newspapers, magazines, and books. Roman fonts are not as popular for use on web pages because the screen resolution of some computer monitors is insufficient to render the tiny serifs clearly....
