As good as the latest releases of Windows are, the old ones have a charm to them that new versions just can’t quite match. A big part of it is its old games — Minesweeper, Solitaire, you name them. Now, you can play them all over again, thanks to Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams is adding a brand new feature called Games for Work, which not only brings back the old Windows games you love, but lets you connect with your co-workers with them thanks to multi-player modalities....

But spring break in space had to wind down eventually, as NASA announced that InSight is likely expected to fall silent soon. Regional dust storms and power decline are the main culprits. That would take any of us down. “The spacecraft’s power generation continues to decline as windblown dust on its solar panels thickens, so the team has taken steps to continue as long as possible with what power remains,” NASA wrote in a statement....

There are two modes, one where you log in with your Live account so you can save your progress, and play additional levels. If you log in with your Live account, it’s obvious that Microsoft wants to sell you some certification courses, so just be aware of that. Or Guest Play where you can only play one episode and scores are not saved. Playing the Game We’ll take a look at the Guest Play just so you get a sense of what the game is about....

Before When you have a few tabs open things are not so bad. But if you have something like 30+ tabs open then Firefox is definitely going to have a much larger memory footprint. For the moment all six tabs are active in our example… After Once the extension is installed you can see quite a difference in the tab bar. Five of the six websites are literally on hold and display as about:blank....

The New Normal There’s a reason security professionals hate sudden changes, especially those of a drastic nature. The risk of a vulnerability being introduced because something was overlooked or someone acted in haste—albeit with best interests at heart—is all too real. The COVID-19 pandemic brought just such a change to most organizations. Workers were forced to stay at home and work remotely. Companies that had some remote working capabilities had to try to quickly scale that up....

Who Should Set Up Smart Lights for Winter? Not everybody lives in a place where winter brings a feeling of never-ending night, as if you’re hibernating in a cave. If you’re reading this from somewhere on or very near the equator, consider yourself blessed in the circadian rhythm department. Equatorial countries like Ecuador, Columbia, and Indonesia have stable days with very little variation between summer and winter day length. But the further you get from the equator, especially when you get beyond the Tropic of Cancer (the northernmost boundary the sun can hit the earth at a 90° angle) and the Tropic of Capricorn (the southernmost equivalent), the variation in day length over the year becomes more pronounced the further you go....

Containerizing server workloads is growing ever more popular, and it’s becoming increasingly common to see web server deployments running in containers. Can the same benefits be applied to databases? Docker Can Handle Stateful Workloads It’s best to start this off by asking a different question: Can you even run a database in Docker? In general, Docker isn’t designed for stateful services. One of the major selling points of containers is that they can be stopped and started at will, usually connecting to an authoritative data source, like a database, to store their state....

As you can see our browser is in a non-maximized state and the first part of the article takes up very little room in the browser window. Absolutely horrible… The PageZipper Bookmarklet in Action The bookmarklet is very easy to set up in your browser…simply drag it to your “Bookmarks Toolbar” and you are ready to go....

Microsoft Edge has a feed of news articles on the start page, which includes some advertisements. According to a new report, some of the advertisements in the news section can redirect to tech support scams. Malwarebytes, a cybersecurity company that develops the malware protection software of the same name, has published a report about a rising number of malicious advertisements in Edge. The ads are reportedly found on the News Feed, which is the grid of recommended articles that appears on the start page....

The completed version of the Stable Diffusion model can generate images with artificial intelligence right on your computer. There’s now a modified version that is perfect for creating repeating patterns. “Tileable Stable Diffusion,” developed by Thomas Moore, is a modified version of the same Stable Diffusion model that can be used to generate incredible AI art and lifelike images. The main difference is that this fork (meaning software that has split off from another codebase) is designed to generate images that can be used in seamless repeating patterns....

Essentially, ENIs are virtual network cards you can attach to your EC2 instances. They are used to enable network connectivity for your instances, and having more than one of them connected to your instance allows it to communicate on two different subnets. What Are Elastic Network Interfaces? You’re already using them if you’re running on EC2—the default interface, eth0, is attached to an ENI that was created when you launched the instance, and is used to handle all traffic sent and received from the instance....

The Curse of Plenty Suppose you haven’t been keeping up with the advancement of renewable energy solutions such as solar power. In that case, you may think that the main challenge is getting enough power out of solar and wind, but it’s often the opposite. When your renewable energy source generates more power than you need, you either have to use it or lose it. This is why grid-tied solar home installations can feed power back into the grid, and you can even get paid for it!...

302 Is Temporary, 301 Is Permanent Both redirect types achieve the same effect. When a user attempts to access a redirected resources (for example, the HTTP version of an HTTPS link), the web server sends a 301 or 302 response code to the user’s browser, along with a link to the intended destination. The user’s browser will then immediately make another request to the correct page, effectively redirecting them. The difference lies in what happens the second time a user visits that page....

Don’t Worry, Your Devices Are Backward Compatible Wi-Fi standards are, thankfully, backward compatible across generations. Whether you have a Wi-Fi 6 router and a Wi-Fi 6 device, a Wi-Fi 5 device and a Wi-Fi 4 router, or any number of permutations of the Wi-Fi standards from the last twenty years or so, your newer device can connect to your older Wi-Fi router. That means whether you’re connecting your new iPhone that supports Wi-Fi 6 to a Wi-Fi 5 router you haven’t upgraded yet or to the very dusty old ISP-supplied Wi-Fi 4 router at your parent’s house, your phone will negotiate a connection to the router using the appropriate Wi-Fi technology....

The new feature that’s being added to Netflix will allow you to remove a given device from your account, so you can log your account out of those devices without having to resort to changing your password. Changing your password can be understandably annoying since you probably set up Netflix on all your devices, including TVs with virtual keyboards that are awful to type on, and changing the password would log you out of those too....

Apple’s insistence on selling products with both Lightning and USB Type-C ports has led to plenty of frustration, confusion, and bizarre adapters. From the company that revolutionized the headphone dongle comes a new product: the USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter. Apple released a new entry-level iPad earlier today (the 10th generation iPad), which has a USB Type-C port, among other upgrades. However, it still only supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, which has a physical connector for charging and not the magnetic charging on the second-gen Pencil....

This Hack Won’t Solve Serious Wi-Fi Problems Before we dig in, let’s get one thing out of the way. The Wi-Fi hack we’re about to share is a simple way to get better Wi-Fi reception for your computer. It works for desktop PCs, and it can even work for some laptops, depending on how you get Wi-Fi on your laptop. But what it can’t do is make Wi-Fi out of nothing....
