macOS’ built-in Finder is… fine. It’s not terrible, and it’s not great. It gets the job done. Features are limited, but it’s reliable and sturdy, functional enough to get basic jobs done. But there’s so much that Finder simply cannot do. If you’ve ever been frustrated by Finder’s limitations, you know that’s true. That’s where Finder replacement apps like Commander One come in. They can provide more functionality than Finder, catering to specific needs of specific classes of users....

Go to Google Advanced Images search and configure the settings you want for your images, but leave the search term (the whole section under “Find images with…”) blank . For this example, I have selected “Larger than 800×600” for Image size and “free to use or share” for usage rights. Click “Advanced Search”. It will bring you to the Google Image search page. 2. All you have to do is to bookmark this page....

Getting Celestia Most Linux distros will have a package for Celestia in the standard repositories. To install it just type on a Debian-based system. If you want more textures you will have to manually install some non-free packages, as some of the texture files have unclear licenses and could not be included in the standard packages, which have a free license. You can get the additional textures with although you might need to enable non-free repositories first, depending on your setup....

We asked our writers, “Do you think robots are the cause of unemployment?” Our Opinion Phil says somewhat tongue-in-cheek, “Robots don’t take jobs; people who save money by using robots do.” He adds that employers prefer robots as they work all day, don’t need breaks, and never complain. He sees robots “as a positive thing (doing jobs humans either prefer not to or can’t do), but replacing humans just as a cost-saving measure is wrong....

If you are using Mac OSX and have a spare $5 lying around that you fancy spending, then there is an app called iTranslate which will make your foreign language translation needs 100 times … nay, 1,000 times easier. It’s not often that a piece of software makes me happy like this, but iTranslate has sped up my translating and made it feel less of a drag. So what is it?...

Microsoft: “Why, Yes!” In its 2015 Security Intelligence Report (skip to Page 120 if you don’t want to read the whole thing), Microsoft demonstrates just how computers with anti-malware applications operating around the clock can reduce the rate of infection per 1000 scanned computers from an average of 35 (for unprotected systems) down to just above 10. This isn’t necessarily the most comprehensive data on computer security, but it does offer some perspective: you can certainly decrease your risk even slightly if you are using anti-malware....

El Capitan offers many improvements and refinements to the OS X experience, such as better window management, enhanced Spotlight search, subtle improvements to system performance and more. So, if your Mac is compatible (more on that later), you’ll want to get El Capitan up and running on your Mac. You can either install El Capitan over your current version of OS X, not disrupting your programs/data, or you can perform a clean install....

Luckily, the Internet has a few archives of older software if you really want to give it a go. While some programs may prove compatible, update those that connect to the Internet to quash any bugs or security vulnerabilities. Old Apps Old Apps breaks options down into categories, such as web browsers and media players. Everything is easily found as a result, and the site is one of the most popular....

Deliberately Misspell Your Search You’d be amazed as to how many careless sellers list their items under the wrong spelling. While eBay’s powerful search algorithm is able to compensate for some misspellings, it isn’t able to catch all of then. Unfortunately, this means that there is a good chance that you’ll completely miss out on a misspelled item. However, if you do manage to spot a misspelled listing, you could nab yourself a bargain....

Evri starts with the major news categories of US & World, Business, Sports, Entertainment, Technology, etc. It not only finds all those top stories, but it puts them into smaller, compartmentalized topics. It takes Entertainment, and instead of just listing the top stories of the day, it shows topics of Book Reviews and Movie Reviews, and specific Entertainment news, such as a whole topic devoted to Ashton Kutcher, and another to the film 50/50....

Planning the Trip Itinerary – I was attracted to this application because of its UI, but the features made me stick around for the long run.

The application is simple, but makes the trip memorable. Flight Track Pro – One of my favourite applications available on the App Store....

Why did this happen, and what do you do if you really need to access Flash content later? Is there any browser with Flash support still around, or at least a suitable alternative available? Let’s find out. Why has Flash gone away? Sunsetting Flash was largely a security-driven move. Flash was once the standard for videos, games, and other Web content, but it was terrifically vulnerable to exploits, thanks to the way it used memory and other issues....

Useful Google Now Commands Start each command with “OK Google” to activate it and follow up with one of the following commands. Turn On Flashlight: That is all you have to say to get Google now to turn on/off the flashlight. If you have an app that does this, it will show you that instead. Turn WiFi or Bluetooth On/Off: Just say “turn on Bluetooth” (or WiFi), and it will automatically turn on/off Bluetooth or WiFi....

IP Addresses The first and most obvious way to track a hacker is with their IP address. Now, any hacker worth their salt will use an IP address that lacks meaningful information. They’ll work over Tor, over a VPN, or maybe even in a public space. But let’s assume that the hacker we want to track is exceptionally inexperienced, or they accidentally exposed their IP address. Finding them by their IP might work like this:...

But this made us wonder what methods people currently use to find new software. Is it by word of mouth through your friends, social media, websites such as Make Tech Easier, Google, etc.? We started with our experts here by asking our writers, “How do you discover new software?” Our Opinion Corbin finds his new software mainly through Reddit or “detailed searches based on what tasks I’m trying to complete....

Up until now we’ve had no real income figures to work with; were hackers living the dream, or getting by on scraps? It was clear that hackers were trying to make money, but there was no sign on whether they were succeeding. Recently BitDefender released an estimate on the most popular ransomware of this year, and the figures were a little worrisome . How Much Is Being Made? We saw some fledgling ransomware attacks around the start of 2018....

Motives Behind The Demand for Larger Memory Space 64 GB and 128 GB phones exist, but there isn’t a great deal of them. Despite the lack of a manufacturing trend biased towards making higher-capacity mobile platforms, there is always a demand for them. The average app size between March and September 2012 grew 16 percent. Bloated software is getting even more bloated all of the time, not to mention the increasing graphic resolution that the developers need to pack in their apps....
