When a System Update Goes Wrong If your Mac freezes, loses power, or otherwise prevents an update from completing, you end up with a corrupt system update. This may manifest as a simple instability with occasional freezes or the system or applications lock up. In the worst-case scenario, you may have problems booting, forcing you to consider reinstalling the OS. Another problem is related to Apple’s incremental approach to updates. Since Software Update only downloads and installs system files that need to be updated, some files may be out of date with respect to other system files....

Understanding Mac Administrator Accounts When you first set up your Mac, the setup assistant creates an administrator account automatically. The administrator account has privileges that allow it to make changes to the Mac operating system, including adding other account types, installing apps, and accessing some areas of the system that are protected from other user account types. Along with special privileges, an administrator account has all the features of a standard user, such as a home folder and access to the apps in the Applications folder....

The organizers expected more than 8,000 attendees. How To Register To Attend There are multiple levels to register for at this event.

How it works: As 9to5Google points out, popular dishes are highlighted in orange with a little star when the Lens button (in the upper right corner of the images of menus in Maps) is tapped. This makes it much easier to see what’s good at any local eatery without having to pull up a separate app or take a photo with the Lens app yourself. Where is it: The feature is only on Android at this point; iOS tends to get these sorts of options later....
How Bluetooth Works Bluetooth is short-range wireless communication similar to Wi-Fi, but what makes Bluetooth special is its highly encrypted nature. Bluetooth devices must be paired to each other in order to work, although you usually only need to pair the device the first time you use it with your iPad. The process of pairing the devices creates an encrypted tunnel by which the devices exchange information. This makes it secure even though the information is transferred wirelessly....
What Is a DWG File? A file with the .DWG file extension is an AutoCAD drawing. It stores metadata and 2D or 3D vector image drawings that can be used with CAD programs. This format is compatible with lots of 3D drawing and CAD programs, which makes it easy to transfer drawings between programs. However, because there are numerous versions of the format, some DWG viewers can’t open every type....
History of Automobile Scan Tools Until the mid-1990s, each car manufacturer had its own standards and protocols, making it difficult even for professional technicians to keep tabs on all the standards. That changed with the introduction of Onboard Diagnostics II (OBD-II), a standard adopted by automakers worldwide. Despite the progress, professional scan tools can cost thousands of dollars, putting them out of range for most DIY mechanics. Up until a few years ago, even basic code and data readers cost hundreds of dollars....
The TRIM Command The TRIM command helps the OS clean up data in storage blocks that are no longer needed. This optimizes the write performance of an SSD by keeping more blocks of data free to be written to. It also prevents the SSD from being so aggressive in cleaning up after itself that it causes wear on the memory chips. In this way, it prevents premature failure. TRIM is supported in OS X Lion (10....
EU antitrust regulators reportedly are set to charge Apple with anti-competitive practices regarding Apple Pay and the NFC chip inside iPhones, which enables tap-and-go payments. The company allegedly refuses to allow rivals access to the payment system. “Allowing access to the NFC functionality via an open API would mean third-party payment services could have the same or similar functionality as Apple Pay without direct control or fees dictated by Apple,” Sean O’Brien, a visiting fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale Law School, told Lifewire in an email interview....
Dubbed MoonBounce by the security sleuths at Kaspersky who discovered it, the malware, technically called a bootkit, traverses beyond the hard disk and burrows itself in the computer’s Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot firmware. “The attack is very sophisticated,” Tomer Bar, Director of Security Research at SafeBreach, told Lifewire over email. “Once the victim is infected, it is very persistent since even a hard drive format won’t help.”...
Add a Chart in Excel Charts and graphs are visual representations of worksheet data. These graphics help you understand the data in a worksheet by displaying patterns and trends that are difficult to see in the data. The best way to learn about the various charts in Excel is to try them out. Graphs are used to illustrate trends over time, and charts illustrate patterns or contain information about frequency. Select the Excel chart or graph format that best fits your needs....
The already eye-popping recording time is expandable via microSD up to 32GB of total storage for nearly eight times the recording space. The backlit displays add quick access to the date, time, and current recording mode, while a built-in earphone mini-jack offers private playback.

Storage: 4GB internal | Battery: 159 hours | Microphone: Stereo Playback speed control doesn’t alter pitch, so musicians learn new music and journalists can transcribe audio, free from concerns over quality shifting....
“Password use should become obsolete, and we should look for different ways to log into accounts,” CEO of security vendor Gurucul, Saryu Nayyar, told Lifewire via email. The Problem With Passwords In December, The Sun reported that the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) supplied over 500 million passwords to the popular Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) service, which it had uncovered during an investigation. HIBP enables users to check if their passwords have been leaked in a breach and are prone to abuse by hackers....
According to Windows Central, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published documents last week detailing Microsoft’s filing, which noted the device will include those capabilities in addition to “Wireless Power Transfer”—which Windows Central notes potentially could mean Qi Wireless charging or charging for the Surface Pen. The 5G and NFC compatibility would be the first time these features were made available in a Surface Duo device and something customers have been asking for....
