There are a couple of important facts to note about these playlists. A music playlist is defined by a specific list of songs to be played in a particular order. Once a playlist is created, it can be played on the Xbox Music app even if it was created in another application such as VLC, Windows Media Player, or Windows Media Player Classic. Make an Xbox Music Playlist from any Web Page The app itself doesn’t provide you with the list of web pages with music, so you have to search the Web and provide your own website source with the type of music, recording artists, and specific songs that you want to include in your playlist....

This happened to me recently while trying out Gnome for the first time in a while. I attempted to set the key combo for “Switch workspace” to a combination of Super (aka Windows Key) and an arrow key for left or right. This would allow me to use the same key combo to switch workspaces in all my systems. I was shocked to find that in Gnome, as of the time of this writing, you cannot use Super as a combo key, it only works on its own....

This application is where you are able to enter command and make changes to your system without having to install third-party apps.

It may be ugly, but it is definitely the fastest way to get things done....

Speaking with CNBC, Pei revealed that his company was “in discussions with some carriers in the US to potentially launch a future product there”. Pei didn’t mention what that product would be. There’s a chance that it could simply be a delayed US launch for the Nothing Phone (1). While it rolled out in Europe, the Middle East and Asia in July, it never made it to the American market....

Office Medium is a web-based collaborative suite and office intranet built with the open source Drupal. It is easy to use and comes with several useful features (especially in the social aspect) that the small business users will come to appreciate.

When you first logged in, you will be greeted by the dashboard....

Getting Base Base is part of the OpenOffice package, and packages for all platforms can be downloaded here. Linux users likely won’t need the manual download, as the full OpenOffice suite is typically available in the standard repositories of most distros. Ubuntu users, for example, could install with or simply click the link here Creating Your Database When you launch Base, you’ll be taken to a “wizard” which can guide you through the first few steps....

My Life Organized is a cool little Android application that lets you treat your life like a project. Think of MLO as a to-do list on steroids. Let me explain. With a regular to-do list, there are the basic options: task, due date and maybe a sub-task. This is great if you have things on your list like get milk, pick up dry cleaning and fill out permission slip for Jimmy’s field trip....

What was Announced? The event included a couple of announcements. The main announcement was the launch of the iPad Mini. The relatively lower price, small size, and quality has some calling the iPad Mini an Android killer. The next item on the list was the MacBook Pro. The laptop now features a much thinner build and a stunning Retina display. This was followed by the announcement of the outrageously thin iMac and a small, arduous mention of Mac Mini changes....

In the past few years, PayPal took this one step further with “Pay After Delivery.” In short, when you buy an item from a site that supports Pay After Delivery, PayPal spends the money in your stead. PayPal will then wait two weeks in order for the item to arrive and for you to have some time with it. When the two weeks are up, if PayPal didn’t receive any notification of anything going wrong with the transaction, they take the money from your account....

Developer Kuba Wojciechowski has been diving into the code of the Google Camera Go app, and has discovered some interesting references to the company’s 2023 Pixel phones. The code suggests that the camera system of these forthcoming phones – the Pixel 8 line, essentially – will support staggered HDR. This staggered HDR is a technique whereby a camera takes multiple different exposures at the same time – one short, one medium, and one long exposure – using the same pixels....

Head over to “Internet Accounts” in System Preferences. You can do this by going to the Apple menu and then System Preferences, or simply by searching for “Internet Accounts” in Spotlight. Click on LinkedIn in the right column, enter your user name and password, and then click “Next.” Read over the message that lets you know what signing into your LinkedIn account on your Mac will do (add your connections to Contacts, let you share links from Safari, etc), then click on “Sign In....

Development of Notepad has mostly stagnated. There haven’t been any appreciable changes since Windows 2000, if not earlier, and it can still stop a system from shutting down until you choose whether to save a file or not. Unsurprisingly, alternatives exist, and we’ll show you some of the best. Why replace Notepad? This is a good question to begin with, and the answer is for the average user, Notepad does everything it needs to with its short list of features....

1. Classic Shell The classic shell gives you a very simple, yet very powerful Start menu that you can customize any way you want. It’s not exactly like the one from Windows 7, but it gives you what you want: a Start menu without all the Metro mumbo jumbo. You also get features that were available in older versions of Windows, like pop-out menus. I personally am not a huge fan of this, but it’s better than having to wait for the Metro interface to load on a slow computer or limited virtual environment....

REMnux is a lightweight Linux distribution that allows you to carry out malware analysis, or even reverse-engineer the malware to find out how it works. REMnux is best used in an isolated environment, such as virtual machine or Live CD, so that the malware won’t hurt the main machine. It comes in the OVF/OVA format where you can easily import into your virtual machine like VirtualBox or VMware. There is also an ISO image where you can burn into a CD and boot it up on your computer....

Long story short, most distributions that are considered “stable” or “long term support” will have (at least partially) older software in their repositories. But “rolling distros” have much newer software included, as they constantly pull in updates from upstream developers. Debian Unstable (codenamed Sid) is such a distribution. With some command-line magic, you can run Debain Sid inside your current installation of Debian Stable or Ubuntu. Why Do this When I Can Just Add PPAs or Backports?...

That means I can go back and forth from my PC monitor to my Macbook Pro screen and vice versa, all while using the single mouse and keyboard (connected to my Windows PC). What’s even better is that you can also share clipboards, meaning you can copy something on one computer and paste it to the other....

Our Opinion Alex answers with a resounding “No way!” He notes that non-users might object to the company’s use of data on moral or ethical grounds, making a choice to be a non-user. “Treating a non-user like someone who just isn’t a user yet but inevitably will be is categorically wrong.” Phil explains that “collecting data on people is one of the most important issues of the 21st century,” as “companies continue collecting data from as many people as they can as a business or marketing asset....
