Guided by this idea, one might assume that any position, connected with online communication (SMM, blogging, Patreon, crowdfunding, online marketing or any other activity involving work with an audience) is something any person would nail. Let me assure you, it’s not as easy as it seems. Internet reality plays by its own rules and you’re obliged to know them and understand what to do when dealing with people online. I have been working as a community support manager for more than two years now....
Gmail’s pretty much the first choice of email service for over a billion people on this planet (miss you, Inbox).

The emoji in question is a common Italian hand gesture that, roughly translated, means “what the hell?” This isn’t how our team was using it. At some point, we collectively decided to use this emoji to mean “perfection.” From what I can gather, people thought it represented kissing your fingertips, the way chefs sometimes do. Dozens of people used the emoji this way until Deb pointed out the (hilarious) discrepancy....

So here’s how you can sync controllers to your PC, no wires required....

This problem is not unique to the music industry; it is symptomatic of a more significant trend towards disintermediation, in which consumers are increasingly getting their content and services directly from technology layer providers, and seldomly from sources closer to the creators. The advent of peer-to-peer file sharing allowed individuals to pirate copyrighted material so easily that content owners were forced to adapt, leading to almost an “arms race” to control digital music and digital rights....
He then doubled down with the boast that he was “pretty sure the technology that we have developed within the South Australia government will become the national standard and will be rolled out across the country.” Victoria too has announced impending “technologically supported” home quarantine, though details remain unclear. Home quarantine will also eventually be available for international arrivals, according to Prime Minister Scott Morrison. The South Australian app has received little attention in Australia, but in the US the left-leaning Atlantic magazine called it “as Orwellian as any in the free world”....

There may be no element of starting and running a business that is more crucial, yet less inherently sexy than accurate bookkeeping. Since most entrepreneurs didn’t launch their new business to tally balance sheets and process invoices, this critical task may turn into that leader’s third or fourth full-time job. Or those duties could get farmed out, often to a spouse or a nephew or another employee who adds accounting as their second or third hat....
We’ve long known Adobe planned to create iPad-specific versions of some of their most popular Creative Cloud apps. Now just months after dropping Photoshop for iPad late last year, Adobe has started inviting some users to begin beta testing their next tablet-centric offering, Adobe Illustrator for iPad. It’s a pretty remarkable step for Adobe, considering how much detail and power need to be translated to the iPad world to please Illustrator’s devoted, but demanding vector graphic devotee fanbase....
The description of the bill said that it “seeks to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India, however, it allows for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its uses.” It also indicated that the Reserve Bank of India, the country’s central bank, might issue an official digital coin in the future.

Now the question is just whether Intel’s discrete GPUs are any good. I’ll go ahead and warn you right away that Intel didn’t provide any hard comparisons with its competitors; we’ll have to wait for real-world benchmarks for those. Still, there’s a lot to unpack here. The technically inclined can go read Intel’s official announcement, but we’ve summed up the main things you should know. So can I go buy an Intel GPU and stick it into my desktop now?...
So, does that mean we can click with a clear conscience? Business academics Andrew Crane and Dirk Matten argue that a decision has an ethical dimension to it if it has a significant effect on others it is characterized by choice, and it is perceived as ethically relevant to one or more parties.

With the smaller (but not certainly not small) L82 Classic, JBL has outdone itself again, at least in the reviewer’s eyes. At $2,500, it is one of the most enjoyable speakers to grace my apartment — one that looks good, sounds great, and has the measured performance to back it up. Design The retro look — a boxy wooden design with a massive woofer — is likely to be divisive, but I love how different it looks from almost anything else on the market....
There’s an expression in English along the lines of ‘just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.’ Expressed in the technology world, this can be considered in a similar way: just because you can provide a service or feature, that doesn’t mean doing so is necessarily a good idea. And with that firmly in mind, we turn to the matter of the day: calorie counting features in sex toy apps....
