One company, for example, is raising money to create water from air using only renewable energy. Uravu’s device streams air into a chamber containing desiccants like silica which absorb the water content in the air. “The world is quickly running out of its freshwater supply, and by 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas,” Prakash Govindan, co-founder of Gradiant, a cleantech water solutions company, told Lifewire in an email interview....

Unfortunately, PopCap Games retired many of their games over the years, and since EA acquired the company in 2011, almost every attempt to play an old PopCap Games title redirects you to EA.com where there’s little help in finding a valid link where you can play or download the game for free. If you haven’t yet experienced the joy of a PopCap game, there are plenty of ways you can test a few of them out without dropping a dime....
Phone cameras are incredibly capable. They can shoot in the near dark. They stitch panoramas together instantly, blur the backgrounds of portraits, and have you ever wondered why you never get a photo of somebody blinking, even in a group shot? And yet there’s one thing any camera needs to make a good photo, no matter how clever its computers brain—good lighting. “While sweater mode and night mode are helpful, there is nothing substitute for good lighting,” Robert Lowdon, a professional photographer, told Lifewire via email....

I’ve wanted to install a home security system for a while now, and Ring’s home security network stands out for several reasons. First, there’s the continuous ability to expand the number of sensors, keypads, and other pieces as needed.

And, finally, you can either monitor your security yourself or add professional monitoring for just $100 a year (if you pay in advance), making it one of the cheapest options for professional-level monitoring....
Researchers in the UK and the US have been awarded a grant to build microrobots that simulate the buzzing of bees. The tiny robots are the size of a fingernail and weigh a quarter of a honeybee. “They will allow us to control the vibrations—their pitch, force, and timing—and simulate bees’ interactions with flowers in order to really understand how the characteristics of the bee and the buzzes affect pollination,” one of the grant recipients, Mario Vallejo-Marin, an associate professor of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Stirling, said in the news release....

The differences between NAS and SAN can be seen when comparing their cabling and how they’re connected to the system, as well as how other devices communicate with them. However, the two are sometimes used together to form what’s known as a unified SAN. Overall Findings A NAS unit includes a dedicated hardware device that connects to a local area network, usually through an Ethernet connection. This NAS server authenticates clients and manages file operations in much the same manner as ordinary file servers, through well-established network protocols....
