Overview of Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is measured in comparison to the functions of the human mind. A true, fully complete AI could replicate—and likely extend—a human brain’s functions. It would be self-aware, have consciousness and memories, could learn and make predictions about likely future events—and would do these things on its own, without human intervention or input from programmers. The Four Types of AI: Reactive Machines The first and most basic kind of AI is Reactive Machines....

We now know the details for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 plus, so no more educated guesses are required. And it turns out that the next iPhone is indeed something of an incremental upgrade, but it still features a lot of new advances. Both models are mechanically similar, with the only difference being the iPhone 14’s 6.1-inch super retina screen versus the 6.7-inch display on the Plus. The new phones also use an aerospace-grade aluminum case, offer what Apple says will be “all-day” battery life, and include an upgraded camera system....

The iRig Pro Quattro I/O is a pocket-sized audio mixer, a microphone, a MIDI interface, a field recorder, and quite a bit more. If you need to plug something into something else, chances are this thing will do the job. But doesn’t this make it a jack of all trades? A compromise? Sure, but that’s kind of the point. “I won’t be purchasing it because I don’t need it, yet....

Should I Expand My House Animal Crossing? Expanding your house is one of the main ways to progress in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so you should always choose to expand whenever possible. You can grow your house from a tiny tent to a three story dwelling with a number of extra rooms, and some useful abilities are also locked behind house upgrades.

Get Informed Before you do anything else, check the websites of both the airline and the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) to ensure you know the rules.

Look for a padded camera bag with separate compartments for lenses, camera body, flash units, and other accessories....

How to Use the GarageBand On-Screen Keyboard You may not think of your Mac keyboard as a music-making machine, but it can be. Here’s how: Changing Octaves in the Standard Layout on the Mac The standard Musical Typing keyboard displays an octave and a half at any one time mapped to the “asdf” row of keys on a standard computer keyboard. Changing octaves is performed in one of two ways. The Musical Typing window shows the Mac keys that correspond to musical keys on the piano....

We all know that we’re supposed to create a strong, unique password for every login we have, so why do we use the same email address over and over? It’s like locking the front door but leaving an upstairs window open. Apple’s Hide My Email—and similar features from DuckDuckGo and Fastmail—lets you create a unique email for every login, newsletter, or mailing list. It turns out to be an amazing way to avoid spam and stay safer online....

According to a survey of US smartphone users commissioned by the Beyond Identity blog, iPhone users consider their devices very secure, while Android users are considering a switch because they don’t trust Google, their phone handset maker, or both. Most interesting is that the primary driver for this seems to be a new feature coming to iOS 16 that almost nobody will need to use. “All mobile users should have expectations of privacy and security, and Apple and Google have invested substantially in advancing their platforms and enabling mobile app developers to build and ship secure code,” Brian Reed, chief mobility officer at NowSecure, told Lifewire via email....

Plans for detecting ban evasions were announced back in August, and almost six months later, Twitch is making Suspicious User Detection available to all channels. According to the platform, the new tools should make it easier for streamers and moderators to catch and deal with new accounts from previously banned users. Twitch acknowledges that some users will create a new account after being banned from a channel in order to jump back into the chat and continue being abusive....

Use the Apple Mail Activity Window In OS X Mavericks or later, the Activity window displays the status when sending or receiving mail for each mail account. It’s a quick way to see what may be going on, such as an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server refusing connections, an incorrect password, or timeouts because the mail server can’t be reached. To find the Activity window, select Window > Activity from the menu bar....

The announcement was made at the company’s HDD Reimagine event, with more details given in the accompanying press release. Western Digital stated that it strives to meet customer demand for large data storage. These customers are generally rather large-scale companies, such as communications providers, hyper-scale cloud companies, and NAS suppliers, all of which need some kind of solution to store the vast amounts of data they create. These hard drives use a storage architecture called OptiNAND that is integrated with an iNAND UFS flash drive for improved performance, reliability, and capacity....

The iMac Pro ended up as an interim Mac, a stopgap to tide over professional users until the current Mac Pro arrived last year. But it was far from rushed. The Mac Pro may have looked like a regular iMac with a cool space gray paint job, but inside the case it was incredible. So, what’s next? “I think we can expect to see much more processing power, which will be extremely useful to people who work with graphics or modeling programs that eat up a lot of memory to run concurrently,” Rex Freiberger, managing partner of Gadget Review, told Lifewire via email....

In the fall of 2020, Apple launched three Macs containing its new M1 system-on-a-chip (SoC). The M1 proved to be a sensation. It was way faster than all but the highest-end Intel chips it replaced, while its iPhone heritage allowed it to run cool without a fan, and last for days on a single charge. But while the Apple Silicon powering these Macs was a revolution, the cases they shipped in were all but identical to the Intel models they replaced....

It’s often used in audio engineering to fill in the silence between two tracks or even blend multiple sounds in the same song to create smooth changes rather than abrupt ones. DJs often make use of the crossfading effect between tracks to enhance their music performance and to make sure there aren’t any sudden silent gaps that could annoy the audience or the people on the dance floor. Crossfading is sometimes spelled cross-fading and referred to as gapless playback or overlapping songs....
