It’s estimated that 30 percent of people worldwide will experience tinnitus at some point in their life. This number is likely to rise, as increases in life expectancy and exposure to loud music are all reasons people develop tinnitus. But while it’s more important now than ever to find a cure for this condition which is likely to become more common, researchers still struggle to find one because of how complex tinnitus is....

The coronavirus pandemic has forced the company to hold its first online-only Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). Last month, Microsoft held its Build conference in a similar fashion. So, we’ll get to see how Apple does it. It’s also the first time in years that announcements related to the Macs will take the center stage, instead of iOS. Here’s what we expect Apple to announce at WWDC 2020: Transition kit from Intel to ARM processor for Macs Earlier this month, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg reported that Apple is going to announce its move to ARM Macs at WWDC....
Jason Ronald, Director of Program Management for the new console, revealed in an Xbox Wire update that Microsoft’s augmenting the launch line-up of the XSX with older games. We already knew the console would be backwards compatible with games from every previous Xbox generation, but Ronald adds that, through some process that sounds pretty complicated, the company will make the games look better on XSX than they did on the original consoles: Ronald doesn’t mention how many games will get this next-gen glow-up, just that it can be applied to 360 and OG Xbox titles, which is pretty impressive considering how old those games are now....
The list of programming languages is lengthy. Most are irrelevant or hyper-specialized, though, so you can really only say a fraction matter to most modern-day coders. And among those disciplines that carry the bulk of the load with programmers today, the most critical may be one that’s been around for a quarter-century: Java. Even today, this streamlined, mobile-friendly workhorse is still a key driver in all facets of web development, which is why The 2020 Complete Java Master Class Bundle ($33....
Apple sells all of its devices through authorized resellers. So, you’ll need to contact a reseller to order a MacBook or iMac according to your configuration, and they’ll ship it to you in four to five weeks after you place an order. You can visit Apple’s website to compare different versions of Macs and look at all possible specs such as processor, RAM, storage, and graphics card. This is useful for people with specific needs, if you’re a photographer, you might want more storage onboard, or if you crunch a lot of numbers, you might want to more processing power....
Now the company is doing the same on mobile, allowing Gmail users to make video calls right from their iPhone or Android device. Considering how much work people do from their phones these days, mobile integration is no surprise, but it’s still nice to see. The Gmail app will soon get a new Meet tab where you can view your upcoming scheduled calls listed on your Google Calendar, and join current ones with one tap....
Although the EY Global Information Security Survey 2018-19 says that internal attacks are responsible for only 5 percent of cyber threats to organizations, if this source is removed, organizations will definitely heave a sigh of relief. The basic reason your organization and others are becoming more threatened by malicious software is the rapid increase in digitalization. You are increasing the number of internet connections which raises the likelihood of being attacked....
I’ll admit, when I first started to ride and review ebikes, I thought much the same. I’m a big guy, after all, and back then I had pretty much no cycling experience beyond just knowing how to ride a bike. More power for the money always seemed like a good idea. How else was I going to get up that one nasty hill? But after reviewing a couple of years of testing ebikes one thing has become obvious: the power specs tell you little about a bike’s performance....
In an intriguing piece, Reuters’ Nick Carey details how the EU’s future rulings are setting car makers against a coalition of insurers, leasing companies, and repair shops in the battle to own data generated by your connected vehicle. So far, automakers — serving as the gatekeepers of data access — have been resisting specific regulations for in-vehicle data, citing “safety,(cyber) security, data protection, and privacy threats.” However, the companies lining up against them say that restricting access to in-vehicle data and charging independent firms for more access is just a way for car makers — operating their own leasing, car subscription services, and repair shops — to kill off competition....
Google has seemingly begun testing picture-in-picture as part of the latest update to the YouTube app for iOS, as reported by users on Twitter and corroborated by 9to5Mac. It appears the company has opted for a gradual rollout as only select users have access to it for now — it also doesn’t work for every video. Here’s what it looks like: (But only worked with this live stream, there must be some codec trickery happening behind the scenes for certain playback scenarios)....
When I was given the chance to review the Leisure 510 projector from Vankyo, I knew immediately what I would use it for: building the reality TV cinema of my dreams. And by god, it worked. Here’s how I did it. First, let’s start with this speaker Vankyo’s Leisure 510 projector is, for all intents and purposes, a no-frills, excellent projector. A quick rundown of the numbers: 4000 Lux LED light 1280×768 pixels resolution 3000:1 contrast 300” max screen size Projection distance: 1....
Last Friday I had the distinct privilege of engaging with a legend in the computer science world. Saying I’m a fan of their work is a massive understatement. In fact, if you were to Google this person’s name and then select the “news” tab, you wouldn’t have to scroll far to come across several articles I’ve written with reverent references to them. You know what they say: Never meet your heroes....
Now you might’ve seen some of these before, but trust me, you need the reminder. It’s alarmingly easy to postpone improving your productivity, so read these tips and put at least one of them into action today! First, write it down Every task and commitment should be written down, getting every engagement out of your head and into a trusted system.

Fast-forward to founding my startup in the States and I soon found out that raising money from external investors was actually the norm among my entrepreneur peers. But I stood my ground — I wanted to build my business the way I knew how, without the pressure of venture capitalists (VCs) that I saw others struggling with. If GitHub and Craigslist could make it without investment, why couldn’t we? In the end, bootstrapping was the best decision I ever made — and lets me sleep a lot better than I would with VCs breathing down my neck....
The company was writing to notify me of some important news: it will soon stop accepting Visa credit cards for UK payments. Customers will still be able to use Visa’s debit cards, but the firm’s credit cards are getting dumped on January 19. I put on my tinfoil hat, rewatched JFK, and called up my pals in QAnon to find out what was up. Payment processing firms are deeply integrated into our financial system, but their position could become less secure....
From the entertainment sector to the health and fitness industry, quarantine culture has forced many entrepreneurs to improvise and share their skills virtually. Instagram’s algorithm rewards live streaming with additional push notifications and a position at the front of the line in users’ Stories feed. Streamers can also see and respond to comments in real-time, which opens up the potential to directly communicate with and engage your audience. If you’re looking to use Instagram live to create content or even sell virtual services, don’t forget to double-check the following four things....
However, this tech conference had something different up its sleeve. An eclectic mix of guests such as Kim Kardashian, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Giphy founder Alex Chung, and former System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian gathered inside Armenia’s largest venue. But, it was Gary Vaynerchuck that I was able to sit down with and explore his thoughts on the digital Landscape. Audio consumption is exploding Vaynerchuk passionately understands how people have a desire to do multiple things at once....
But things are changing. Oppo now operates in 13 European countries, and is moving into Germany, Belgium, Portugal, and Ukraine this year. But this expansion would be useless without solid devices, and this is where Oppo’s Reno range comes in. The first Reno was a fantastic phone with a wonderful display and a pizza-slice selfie camera. Then, hot on the heels of that, the company announced the quad-camera Reno 2....
