Data and Privacy Protection Legislation Organizations that hold or process personal data have duties placed upon them to protect and safeguard that data. Modern legislation typically includes restrictions on the selling and buying of personal data, and on the purposes behind the collection of the data. The data subject or consumer has rights related to their personal data, and further obligations are placed on organizations to uphold and service those rights....

What Is Responsive Design? Responsive design allows your site to resize to fit any screen. Rather than designing around a specific layout, or designing a separate mobile and desktop site, your site should scale to fit any device. In the real world, people will use your site in all kinds of different ways; there are small phones, big phones, tablets, tablets in landscape mode, netbooks, laptops, and 5K iMacs. Take a look at the howtogeek....

Traditional projectors require such a specific layout and plenty of empty wall space that, until portable projectors started hitting the market, they were reserved primarily for commercial, educational, and business purposes. As the technology condensed, availability grew. It’s been nearly two decades since Mitsubishi introduced the first pocket-sized projector, and companies like XGIMI have done wondrous things with the mechanics of portable entertainment. The Halo+ Projector may not be the best option available, largely due to its high price, but the battery-powered device includes many features worthy of praise....

Google One subscribers on a Premium plan (with 2TB or higher) are now able to download VPN apps for their computers, as long as they live in one of the 22 supported countries. Using it, you’re able to conceal your real IP and keep yourself safe online while using a public or untrusted network. Google One’s VPN only lets you use an IP from the country you’re currently in — if you’re using it from the United States, you’ll only be able to use a US IP....

The basic Fire TV Stick is currently selling for $20, a 50% discount from its $40 MSRP. The Fire TV Stick 4K is available for just $5 more, at $25 — also half-off from its usual $50 price point. And if you want to go fancy, you can get the Fire TV Stick 4K Max with Wi-Fi 6 support at just $35, a 36% discount from its usual $55. All three price points are the lowest ever for these devices....

AWS is known to have very metered pricing, but some services like RDS only charge you for the EC2 instance the service uses for computing. However, these services do upcharge, and you’re getting less performance per dollar compared to a DIY solution. The Server Is The Service This pricing model makes sense from AWS’s end. Let’s take RDS as an example—a great service that makes running and managing databases easy....

After you’ve created your Presentation click on File to access Backstage view. Then click on Save & Send. Now under the File Types section select Create a Video. Now choose the size of the video, whether to use recorded narrations for the presentation, seconds to spend on each slide, the click Create Video. Select a location to save the video. If you’re at the office and want several people to have access to it, you might want to put it on a shared network drive....

In this case, we’ve been given the Office attribute for our new users, so we’ll want to make sure that’s added in each of our new users account on creation. The first thing we do is to save the excel file as a .csv file. Next we open up the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. We need to find out what is the actual attribute name for the Office field, so we’ll open the properties of one of our current users by double-clicking on them....

Dell has announced the new Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet, which is a reliable and powerful tablet that’s equipped to be tough — something that’s clearly visible by the tablet’s rugged edges and thick bezels. According to Dell, this is the lightest and most powerful 12″ fully-rugged tablet on the market. The 7230 Rugged Extreme features 12th Gen Intel Core processors (up to an i7) and integrated Iris Xe graphics for outstanding performance on the road....

In this process we are going to shrink some free space on the Windows 7 hard drive to allocate toward a new partition. Make sure to take a moment and decide how much space to use for the XP partition. Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive for files you’ll be adding to each. Create a New Partition The first thing we need to do is create a new partition on the Windows 7 machine....

To see this information, you need to view the size of the individual tables. Thankfully, SQL Server has a built in stored procedure, sp_SpaceUsed, which displays the storage statistics of individual tables. Leveraging this stored procedure, we have created a batch script which allows you to easily produce a listing of each table in a database and view its storage statistics. When the script is run, the following information for each table in the database is listed in a tabular format:...

The JBL Clip 4 scored high with our review team earlier this year for several core reasons. The audio performance is fantastic, its IP67 waterproof rating is top notch, portability is unrivaled, and battery life is rather impressive for its size. Basically, the Clip 4 does everything you’d want a Bluetooth speaker to do, and it does them all well. But the coolest part about the JBL Clip 4, in my opinion, is that it’s designed to go just about anywhere you want to take it....

Bing Image Search in Action Two simple steps will have the new accelerator installed: click Add to Internet Explorer to start the process and confirm the installation when the secondary window appears.

Hovering your mouse over the context menu listing will present a “top” image in a popup window…...

The cheapest player is the Roku Express, which normally costs $30, but is now on sale for $20. It only supports 1080p output (no 4K and/or HDR), and the limited storage means it needs to re-download channels occasionally, but it does support nearly every streaming service out there. Roku advertises compatibility with Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount+, ESPN, the company’s own Roku Channel, and others. Roku announced an updated Roku Express last month, but it won’t be available until October 13, and seemingly isn’t included in this sale....

The Basics of Cores and Threads A CPU core is essentially a complete, independent processor. A quad-core CPU effectively has four CPUs in it. Until the debut of dual-core CPUs on desktop computers, a CPU would have one core, so the term was used interchangeably with “CPU.” Today, “CPU” usually refers to the CPU package, and “core” refers to the number of independent processors within the package. The term “thread” is short for “thread of execution” and is simply an ordered set of instructions that the CPU processes....

The Problem If you use Live Writer as the primary way you write for your blog, chances are you post draft articles to your blog fairly frequently. Face it; even on our best days, most of us make a mistake, so it’s often best to post a draft, then read over it later and make sure it sounds good before publishing it to the world. This used to be quite easy; in the old version of Live Writer, you could click a down arrow beside the Save draft button in the toolbar, and select Post draft to blog....
