The Beginning of Doge Dogecoin’s journey from its inception has likely changed the world of money as we know it forever. Cryptocurrencies were gaining traction in the years preceding Dogecoin’s fame. But when Dogecoin made it to everyone’s social media feed, discussions of cryptocurrencies became commonplace. And that was exactly the goal of Dogecoin founders Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. Dogecoin was created with the hope of making cryptocurrencies more accessible....

What Is Metadata? Metadata sounds like an intimidating term, but it isn’t — metadata is just data that describes other data. In many ways, metadata is a lot like a driver’s license or another kind of ID you’re familiar with. An official ID will usually have your date of birth, height, eye color, a picture, and other information about you. Metadata fulfills a similar role for digital files found on computers....

GNOME 43 GNOME is one of the most popular graphical desktop environments on Linux. Practically every distribution has a release featuring GNOME. Imagine the impact then, when the GNOME developers shook things up—to put it mildly—with GNOME 40. It changed the desktop paradigm from a vertical one to a horizontal one and changed the look, feel, and functionality of, amongst other things, the dock, the activities view, and workplaces. Releases 41 and 42 were much smaller in impact, concentrating on polishing the interface and ironing out wrinkles that remained after the iconoclastic changes to GNOME 40....

1. Don’t Buy Games When They Launch We’ve discussed why you shouldn’t buy video games at launch before, but it boils down to paying the highest price for the worst version of a game for no good reason other than FOMO. Unless you absolutely must play a game at launch (e.g., because it’s multiplayer), you’re spending more money than you have to on games. 2. Buy Used Physical Games Physical video game sales still make up a significant chunk of the gaming market and one major advantage they have over digital games is that they can be resold....

You have a couple of options, the easiest one is to just use !! to tell bash to use the last command.

I’ve been using Android phones for over a decade, but I recently started using an iPhone full-time. The notifications situation is one area that I have a lot of thoughts about. Android’s notification system has more or less been the same since the beginning, yet I still think it’s better. Lock Screen vs. Notification Center Let’s start things off with perhaps the most frustrating area of iPhone notifications. Not including home screen badges, there are two places where notifications appear: the lock screen and the Notification Center....

The “Car” in Flying Car The first point of order is defining what a flying car is in the first place. A common idea here is that it’s a road car that can also fly. That’s fine and dandy when you have a fictional anti-gravity system or some other way to lift a car without wings or rotors. Unfortunately, in real life, these sorts of flying cars have been extremely impractical....

When you first start up SyncBack you will be prompted to create a backup profile. I would recommend this as you can both synchronize and backup files. You can have separate profiles for various backup and synchronization profiles based on your needs. For this demonstration I am going to create a backup profile. Next, simply come up with a name for the backup profile you are creating. Now comes the detailed part....

The one thing you can’t complain about, however, is how nice and easy KDE’s system settings are. Just open them up via the “start” menu, and find the Keyboard & Mouse icon. Click on “Mouse” in the left hand menu, and then choose “Double-click to open files and folders – select icons on first click”. Now you can safely click on icons again! Why this isn’t the default in KDE when it is in every other operating system, I’ll never know....

A mouse that is too sensitive might make it difficult to click accurately. Here’s how to change it. How to Change Mouse Sensitivity in Settings To change your mouse sensitivity, click the Start button. Type “Mouse settings” in the search bar and then hit Enter....

What Is the Too Many Open Files Error? Amongst its other gazillion jobs, the kernel of a Linux computer is always busy watching who’s using how many of the finite system resources, such as RAM and CPU cycles. A multi-user system requires constant attention to make sure people and processes aren’t using more of any given system resource than is appropriate. It’s not fair, for example, for someone to hog so much CPU time that the computer feels slow for everyone else....

You may want to have sound on so you can hear phone calls and other notifications come in. However, that includes “System Sounds” too. These are things like the keyboard, dialing phone numbers, and the aforementioned charging and unlocking.

Swipe down from the top of the screen once and tap the gear icon in the top right....

Improved Wi-Fi Security Standards Wi-Fi security standards keep your network safe, requiring a password to connect to your router, and also encrypting your wireless data so others can’t intercept and read it. Since 1997, Wi-Fi encryption standards have improved over time as older methods fell to hacks. First to go was WEP, then WPA, and even WPA2. All of those older security standards are now considered insecure, and if you use them, you’re vulnerable to people nearby using your network without permission or spying on your internet activity....
