Ignite 2021: Microsoft announces Azure Percept – AI technologies on the edge, simplified

Microsoft has launched a new hardware and software platform called Azure Percept in the public preview today. The latest offering makes it easier for customers to develop and implement AI solutions for scenarios such as anomaly detections, object detection, shelf analytics, and more.

Azure Percept is an entire platform that aims to simplify the ways customers can enable AI capabilities at the edge. It seamlessly integrates with other Azure services, including Azure Machine Learning, Azure Live Video Analytics, Azure Cognitive Services, and more to provide vision and audio detailed insights to customers in real-time.

According to Microsoft, Azure Percept offers useful features like pre-built AI models and solution management for developing prototypes and an end-to-end edge AI platform. It also helps to protect sensitive and high-value assets of an edge AI solution with built-in security measures.

“We’ve started with the two most common AI workloads, vision and voice [and] sight and sound, and we’ve given out that blueprint so that manufacturers can take the basics of what we’ve started,” Microsoft VP Roanne Sones said today. “But they can envision it in any kind of responsible form factor to cover a pattern of the world.”

For starters, the Azure Percept platform comes with a couple of additional offerings, including a hardware development kit, Azure Percept Audio, and Azure Percept Studio. You can find more details about these tools below:

  • Azure Percept DK: A pilot-ready development kit with a carrier board, mounting tools, and Azure Percept Vision, a camera-enabled system on module (SoM) for rapid scenario-based customization.
  • Azure Percept Audio: A voice-enabled system on module (SoM) with a 4-mic linear array to apply custom commands, far field speech and anomaly detection.
  • Azure Percept Studio: A new experience that guides customers through the entire AI lifecycle, including developing, training and deploying proof-of-concept ideas.

Microsoft says that it is also collaborating with some third-party “silicon and equipment manufacturers” to develop an entire ecosystem of solutions that will run on the Azure Percept platform. In addition, the Azure Percept team is also working with select customers to gather some early feedback.

If you’re interested to learn more about the Azure Percept platform, be sure to check out the official blog post, and pricing details are available on this page.

Ignite 2021: Microsoft promotes Zero Trust security mindset

At Ignite 2021, Microsoft is promoting the Zero Trust security mindset. With recent security breaches in mind, Microsoft believes the Zero Trust security mindset helps address and encompass “all types of threats, both outside in and inside out,” and is the “right approach is to address security, compliance, identity, and device management as an interdependent whole.”

For those who aren’t familiar with Microsoft’s terminology, the Zero Trust security news means that Microsoft is basically pushing four security innovations across what it is calling “identity, security, compliance, and skilling.”

To get there, Microsoft says the first step is to start with a cloud identity foundation, which includes strong authentication, protecting user credentials, and devices that are essential. Some of these things are coming to Azure Active Directory, as seen below.

  • Passwordless authentication, which eliminates one of the weakest links in security today, is now generally available for cloud and hybrid environments. Now you can create end-to-end experiences for all employees, so they no longer need passwords to sign in to the network
  • Passwordless authentication, which eliminates one of the weakest links in security today, is now generally available for cloud and hybrid environments. Now you can create end-to-end experiences for all employees, so they no longer need passwords to sign in to the network
  • Azure AD verifiable credentials is entering public preview in just a few weeks. Verifiable
    credentials let organizations confirm information—like their education or professional
    certifications someone provides—without collecting and storing their personal data.

As for the second security aspect, there are a bunch of improvements to Microsoft’s products coming here, too. Microsoft believes that they are taking a “holistic approach” to security, unlike other vendors which face “time-consuming challenge” to integrate both SIEM tools and endpoint or email protection. Their solutions are built from the ground up, with these new advancements, as seen below.

  • Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Defender for Office 365 customers can now investigate and remediate threats from the Microsoft 365 Defender portal.
  • Incidents, schema, and user experiences are now common between Microsoft 365 Defender and Azure Sentinel.
  • New Threat Analytics provides a set of reports from expert Microsoft security
    researchers that help you understand, prevent and mitigate active threats.
  • Secured-core is coming to Windows Server and edge devices to help minimize risk from
    firmware vulnerabilities and advanced malware in IoT and hybrid cloud environments.

When it comes to the third aspect, Microsoft is also working on compliance protections, too. This relates to managing risks related to data, as well as third parties, too. This is why Microsoft is introducing the following. Full details are in this blog post.

  • Co-authoring of documents protected with Microsoft Information Protection
  • Microsoft 365 Insider Risk Management Analytics, which can identify potential insider risk activity within an organization and help inform policy configurations
  • Microsoft 365 now offers data loss prevention (DLP) for Chrome browsers and on-premises server-based environments such as file shares and SharePoint Server.
  • Azure Purview is integrated with Microsoft Information Protection, enabling you to apply the same sensitivity labels defined in Microsoft 365 Compliance Center to data residing in other clouds or on premises

Microsoftsecurity

The approach ends with the final aspect of skilling. This is one of the most simple, to help keep people up to date with the latest security issues, with learning resources. Microsoft is introducing four new security, compliance, and identity certifications tailored to specific roles and needs, regardless of where someone can be in their skilling journey. This includes the Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals certification,  Information Protection Administrator Associate certification, Security Operations Analyst Associate certification, as well as the Identity and Access Administrator Associate certification. More information about today’s news is available here.

2. Tips for mirroring Disney Plus from computer to TV

mirror Disney Plus from computer to TV

Are you trying to display your small laptop display on the TV? In theory, you are able to play Disney Plus on most computers made in the last few years.

The truth is that the computer’s screen with Mickey Mouse cartoons or original movies and television series from Disney Plus often refuses to appear on your TV. You could also get an extreme lag between TV and laptop, so do the following:

  • Perhaps the easiest way to attempt to fix this is to reboot your computer.
  • Then, check out different movies to identify if you’re having issues with one item or all of them. If it happens with all of them, remember that Disney Plus requires a minimum speed of 25 Mbps. Use one of the best tools to test Internet speed on Windows 10 to rule out this cause.
  • Update all major drivers. This includes the chipset, sound, video, or network drivers.
  • Try uninstalling the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter driver. Then, let Windows 10 install it back.
  • In some rare instances, this mirroring problem can be caused by your antivirus. There’s a chance to fix it simply by disabling certain antivirus features. If that makes no difference, remove your antivirus altogether by using the best uninstaller software.

3. Tips for mirroring Disney Plus from your mobile device to TV

Screen mirroring also allows you to view fresh Disney Plus content from your mobile device on the TV screen. Take a better look at the following requirements.

3.1 Screen mirror Disney Plus wirelessly

screen mirror Disney Plus app

To be able to screen mirror Disney Plus wirelessly, your TV needs to support a Wi-Fi connection.

  • The first basic solution when this doesn’t work is to simply toggle the Wi-Fi on and then off for your devices.
  • Check for any new updates. This can be done by entering into the Settings app, selecting Software Updates, and then tapping on Check for Updates. If an update is available, then let it download and try again to mirror Disney Plus.
  • Quit all apps on your smartphone, turn it off and then back on. Finally, just try to open Disney Plus again and mirror it to TV.
  • Some users have reported success when reinstalling the app as well.

3.2. Stream Disney Plus with Chromecast or Amazon Fire TV Stick

If you don’t have a smart TV, streaming can be achieved through a casting device such as Chromecast or Amazon FireStick.

To stream Disney with Google Chromecast:

  • Set up the app on your device and create an account. Connect and set up the Chromecast device on your TV, then search for a movie you’re eager to watch. Open the content, tap on the Chromecast icon and select your TV from the list of available devices.

To stream Disney with Amazon FireStick:

  • Just as Google Chromecast, Amazon’s Fire TV Stick connects to your TV through HDMI and allows you to wirelessly stream content from mobile devices to your TV. Once you’ve installed the Fire TV Stick, remotely install the app on your device.

When mirroring fails:

  • Plug your device into a different HDMI input. In case of having an older TV that only has a single HDMI plug, changing out the cable altogether could help.
  • When it comes to streaming in 4K, note that you must use a cable compatible with HDCP 2.2.
  • To make sure your current TV supports HDCP 2.2 standard, enter into Settings > Display & Sounds > Display and the set Video Resolution to Auto. You should immediately get a notification saying if HDCP 2.2 standard is supported.

Let’s hope that you can start watching your favorite movie on your commute and immediately continue it on the big screen when you reach home.

Enjoy!

How to fix Windows errors 0x00000013, 0x00000014, 0x00000015

Errors and crashes are signs that your computer is in need of maintenance. One of these types of issues is the 0x00000013 critical error.

Critical malfunctions can arise when the Windows operating system becomes overloaded with invalid system references or corrupted and deleted registry files.

Insufficient disk space also or an incomplete update process also leads to program misbehavior. In this article, we’ll be discussing three Windows 10 errors and their possible solutions.

How can I fix the 0x00000013 error?

1. Use a dedicated tool

The best option is to use a dedicated tool to restore your system to function like new. The PC repair software can fix any type of corrupted file and replace them with fresh new ones.

Such software protects your device against system freezing, and malware and in addition can detect dangerous websites before accessing them, repair side effects of any previous virus infection, and more.

Plus, if you are worried about Windows system errors then you need to employ this repair software and efficiently fix them.

By choosing a dedicated software, you will first get a quick scan of the system and detect issues with security, hardware, and Windows stability. Then, you will identify potential malfunctions and corrupted system files that cause such errors on your PC. After this, you can see the reported system issues.

That being said, all the errors that bother you can be correctly fixed with an appropriate tool so you can happily use your recovered PC without any kind of trouble.

2. Uninstall the recently installed applications

  1. Open the Start menu.
  2. Look for the most recent apps at the top of the menu.
  3. Right-click on an app.
  4. Click Uninstall.

This should delete all files, corrupted ones included if any that came with the respective app. So if you’re wondering about a method on how to fix shutdown 0x00000013, this one should also work.

  1. In the search bar, type cmd from the keyboard.
  2. Launch it as administrator.
  3. In the command prompt window, type the line below and press Enter. sfc /scannow

This process may take several minutes. Similar to the previous step, this one should also clear and repair the system of any damaged files and solve the Blue Screen of Death error 0x00000013 in Windows 10.

4. Check the hard disk for errors

  1. In the search bar, type cmd from the keyboard.
  2. Launch it as administrator.
  3. In the command prompt window type the line below and press Enter: chkdsk c: /f
  4. Wait until the process is over and restart your computer.

This process will check the disk for file system errors and bad sectors, and fix any issues.

5. Restore the computer to the most recent restoring point

  1. In the taskbar search for Create a restore point.
  2. In the System Protection tab, click the System Restore button.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Select the restore point that you want to use on your computer (the most recent date when your device was functional).

One of the best solutions you can go for when you encounter a Windows 10 system error is to restore your PC to a previous point in order to function to a better capacity.

6. Test RAM for any issuesmemory test to fix error 0x00000013

  1. Press Windows + R simultaneously.
  2. Type in mdsched and press Enter. The Windows Diagnostic tool will start.
  3. Select one of the options.

If the diagnostic tool finds errors that cannot be corrected, this memory drive should be replaced.

6. Check the system for viruses

The error can be caused by computer viruses that infected your system, so if you’re using an antivirus program, run a full system scan.

If you’re using the bundled Windows Defender antivirus, or any other third-party, running a full system scan will remove any unwanted files.

How to fix the 0x00000014 error?

This error occurs because of a device driver or hardware problems. Sometimes, it appears when users attempt to run some specific applications, or update/modify an existing application.

The error falls under the category of BSOD errors and there’s not much you can do besides trying some basic troubleshooting steps.

1. Reboot your computer

This is the simplest immediate solution. Restarting the computer might solve any issues related to the device driver or to the operating system. If it does not work, you will have to try one of the other solutions.

2. Restore the computer to the most recent restoring point

Use the steps provided in the first method, step 4 to undo any changes in the driver and recent registry. If this method doesn’t help in any way, try the next possible solution.

3. Rollback the device drive

  1. In the search bar, write Device Manager, then click Open.
  2. Look for the device you want to restore.
  3. Right-click on the drive Properties
  4. Click on Driver tab, then click Roll Back Driver.

Rolling back the device driver is another great way to fix the 0x00000014 Windows 10 error. Just start off by opening the Device Manager and following the steps mentioned above.

4. Scan for viruses

Running a full system scan is always recommended. However, it is possible that you are not able to do this because it is shut off due to the BSOD.

In this case, you will still have to perform the system restore recommended above.

How to fix 0x00000015 (LAST_CHANCE_CALLED_FROM_KMODE)?

  1. In the taskbar type services.msc then click Run as administrator.
  2. Select the Standard tab at the bottom of the window.
  3. Look for Shell Hardware Detect then right-click Stop.fix error 0x00000015
  4. Then, find Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) then right-click Stop.
  5. Finally, start both services by right-clicking and selecting Start.

The error indicates that something is wrong with the scanner and that it is not working properly. The common solution to fix this error is to enable WIA (Windows Image Acquisition).

This solution proved helpful for most users when no other solutions worked (such as reinstalling the printer or registering again the printer drivers).

We fully hope that at least one of these solutions was helpful for fixing your BoOD issues, especially the 0x00000013 error.

If you managed to fix the errors using another method, feel free to use the comments section below and share it with us.

Twitter begins adding Fleets and Revue newsletters to its web and Windows 10 apps

It’s taken a while but Twitter has finally begun to integrate their Fleets feature into the Windows 10 app and Twitter website. While Fleets, Twitter’s solution to Instagram’s Stories, still aren’t visible across the top of the Windows 10 Twitter app and site like they are on iOS and Android, they have begun to be curiously integrated into direct messages with a small group of users.

Also of note is the rollout of Twitter’s new Newsletters feature which can now be accessed by everyone via the More button within the left menu. Newsletters launched very recently on the Twitter social network in direct response to email newsletter services such as Substack which have taken off in a huge way over the past year or so.

Twitter’s Newsletters, as its name implies, lets users create their own newsletters which they can send to followers. The feature also offers some monetization tools which creators can use to earn additional income from their content and runs under the new label, Revue.

In addition to the two above feature launches, a number of minor fixes and changes have also been made to the Twitter experience both on web and in the Windows 10 app over the past month or so.

Here’s the official list of all of the changes:

New

  • Fleets: We’re beginning to support Fleets on Twitter.com! We’ll be starting with an experiment enabling consumption of Fleets within DMs. Keep an eye out for additional functionality as it becomes available.
  • Newsletters: Look for the new Newsletters menu item under the More button to discover other ways of reaching your audience through Revue! Learn more here.

Updated

  • DMs: We will now properly add interstitials to Tweets shared in DMs which have been marked as sensitive content.
  • Hover Labels: We’ve continued rolling out hover labels to more components! Look for them on buttons, sliders, Tweet actions, lists, and more.
  • Night Mode: We’ve made some improvements to dark mode, and some users might have been reverted to the default light theme due to an inconsistent state. You can update your Display setting to correct this inconsistency. The default dark mode is now Lights Out, and you can still switch back to Dim in your settings.

Fixed

  • Accessibility: J and K keyboard navigation on timelines will now focus visible items instead of content you’ve scrolled away from. We’ve also made improvements to maintaining your position and focus when you’ve navigated away from a timeline and then return.
  • Accessibility: Text within misinformation nudges will now be correctly read out by screen readers.
  • Browser: Fixed an issue where Firefox on iOS was showing as an unsupported browser.
  • DMs: Profile bio text will now be properly centered within DM conversations.
  • DMs: Deleting conversations in your low quality inbox will no longer jump you into your primary inbox.
  • DMs: Removed unnecessary scrollbars in the DM Reaction summary popover.
  • DM Drawer: Fixed layout and legibility issues with certain tombstones within the DM drawer.
  • Home Timeline: Resolved issues with the Home button and period keyboard shortcut not taking you to the top of the home timeline.
  • Lists: Corrected discrepancies in verbiage when viewing List membership.
  • Tabs: Fixed an issue where you were unable to scroll through all tabs when using right-to-left languages.
  • Timelines: Resolved problems with popover menus resetting scroll positions in odd ways.
  • Timelines: Fixed instances of the Retry button failing to properly retry requests on Explore and Topics timelines.
  • Tweets: Clicking “View” on a Quote Tweet that has an interstitial will now reveal the quoted Tweet inline instead of taking you to the conversation screen.
  • Video: Corrected instances where the video player volume slider exceeded the height of the player, and would disappear during mouse over.

VPN Is Not Working on Your Tablet? Here Are 7 Quick Fixes

Tablets are really cool devices that are popularly used today to access the internet, but they are also vulnerable when it comes to privacy.

Besides the lack of privacy, you’re also unable to download specific apps due to your location. If you use a VPN, it ensures that your personal information and your tablet are secure.

Plus you get to use apps and access websites and content that are not available in your country.

A VPN will encrypt your internet connection so as to protect your data and sensitive information while providing you with a different IP address to allow you to download apps from other countries.

When the VPN is not working on your tablet, it exposes your device and information to security breaches and threats, but, thankfully, there are ways to resolve the issue and get your tablet back to safety.

What can I do if VPN is not working on a tablet?

1. Switch to a different protocol

VPN not working tablet

If you cannot connect to the VPN using your tablet, switch between different protocols i.e. L2TP or IKEv2. If this doesn’t help, enable the multiport option via the application settings.

Switching between TCP and UDP can also help if the connection is stuck on Waiting for the server reply.

Protocols also have an impact on your connection’s performance.

So if you can connect, but you’re getting slow speed when using a VPN on your tablet, go to your VPN’s settings and pick a different protocol.

2. Switch to a different server

It’s possible that not your whole VPN service or setup is at fault, but you landed on a bad VPN server. That’s why we recommend launching your VPN app and picking a different server.

Generally, for best performance, it’s recommended you use a VPN that’s closely located to your actual location.

Most VPNs have multiple server locations as well as server recommendations and auto-connect features. These detect the best option for fast and stable connections based on your specific configuration.

3. Check your firewall

To overcome this disconnection issue, disable any firewall from your modem or router and then try to connect again.

To disable your router’s firewall, you’ll need to log in with admin credentials into the configuration panel.

Launch it from a web browser and disable the firewall, then save your changes. Then connect your tablet to the same network and check if you can use your VPN.

If you decide to try out this fix, we recommend you use a good antivirus and firewall on all devices connected to your network, otherwise, you may become vulnerable to online cyber-attacks.

4. Switch to a reliable VPN with tablet support

Some VPNs may not be functional with tablets, while others may give you a hard time when trying to configure and/or use them. To avoid such issues, make sure you choose a tablet-optimized VPN.

Multi-platform compatible ExpressVPN is a flexible, yet extremely powerful VPN client that is perfectly suited for your tablet.

In fact, it is such a versatile tool that it will integrate seamlessly with any device, any operating system, and any browser, plus its protection will cover your entire network.

Speaking about protection, another great advantage is that you won’t have to sacrifice security on your PC in order to keep snoopers at bay from your tablet, for example. ExpressVPN supports up to 5 different devices with just 1 single subscription.

With best-in-class encryption, 3000+ servers spread across 90+ countries, IP cloaking, ultra-fast download speeds, unlimited bandwidth, and a strict no-logs policy, you will get to experience supreme privacy, buffering-free, steady and reliable connections, and a truly liberated geo-targeting-free web experience.

4. Change DNS

If your IP location doesn’t change after the VPN is connected, try changing the DNS settings to Google DNS i.e. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

If this doesn’t help, try changing to OpenDNS i.e. 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Make sure you turn off the location services option from your device.

Change DNS on Android tablet

  1. Open the settings menu.
  2. Go to Wi-Fi.
  3. Select your network and tap on Modify network.
  4. Expand the Advanced options panel.
  5. Scroll down and tap on DHCP.
  6. Select a Static IP.
  7. Scroll down and add your DNS address in the DNS 1 slot.
  8. Save your settings.

You can also change browser proxy settings based on your browser. If you’re using Internet Explorer, do the following:

  1. From the Tools or gear menu, select Internet options.
  2. In the Connections tab, click LAN settings.
  3. Uncheck all of the displayed options except automatically detect settings.
  4. Click OK
  5. Close your browser and open it again.

5. Update your VPN software

VPN software, like any other, may crash, but this happens every once in a while so it’s not much of a concern, unless it happens often, disrupting your browsing experience.

You can resolve this by ensuring you have the latest software version as old software may have stability issues.

Allow automatic updates for your VPN software or check for regular updates. Also, close other apps that are open as these can cause problems with your VPN client.

Once you check the above, restart your device/tablet, and reinstall your VPN client.

Other things to check when your VPN is not working with your tablet include:

  • Check your mobile carriers. Get in touch with your ISP and check if the mobile carrier supports PPTP connections on different devices.
  • Make sure you have a consistently strong signal that isn’t being interrupted if you are using a wireless or cellular data connection. This is often overlooked as any device with a motor (fan, treadmill, refrigerator, etc.) can disrupt a wireless signal enough to cause intermittent problems.
  • Reboot your equipment – modem, router, and tablet in that order. A stuck process could be causing delays in processing, and you’d never know about it.

AVG VPN for Netflix: Does it work? How do I unblock Netflix?

AVG has a VPN app called AVG Secure VPN. If you often watch movies and TV shows online, you’re probably wondering if AVG VPN works with Netflix, especially since it’s a free VPN for Netflix.

To make things easier for you, we did the legwork and tested AVG VPN to see if its streaming servers actually work with Netflix, particularly Netflix US.

We’re also giving you an alternative solution to lift the Netflix ban and watch your favorite shows if AVG VPN is not doing its job.

What you need to know about AVG VPN for Netflix

You can download a AVG Secure VPN free trial


AVG Secure VPN is owned by Avast, the same company behind Avast SecureLine VPN, HideMyAss!, and Zen VPN. It’s a virtual private network solution designed to help you navigate the Internet privately and protect your Wi-Fi connections.

You can download and install AVG Secure VPN on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. It’s wrapped in a user-friendly interface, provides 256-bit AES encryption, and prides itself in having over 50 server locations specifically made for streaming (which includes Netflix).

However, after we activated the 7-day free trial of AVG Secure VPN, we noticed only 3 streaming locations: USA, UK, and Germany (each with multiple servers).

These are the streaming servers supported by AVG VPN

Does AVG VPN work with Netflix?

According to our latest tests, no, AVG VPN doesn’t work with Netflix. We connected to the US servers and tried to unlock the Netflix US library but without any luck.

It seems that Netflix has already identified and blocked the AVG VPN servers, probably because they’re publicly available in the 7-day free trial. That’s why free VPNs are risky when it comes to Netflix.

How do I unblock Netflix?

Interface of Private Internet Access VPn connected to Pennsylvania IP


Use an alternative VPN service that actually works with Netflix. Made by Kape Technologies, Private Internet Access is the best VPN for Netflix, thanks to an impressive network of servers (+3,200 servers in 45 countries).

It’s easy to use and shows the latency of each server so that you can easily figure out the quickest server. Besides unlocking Netflix content, we’ve also noticed that Private Internet Access is significantly faster than AVG VPN.

Even if you do manage to watch your favorite shows with AVG VPN, you’ll probably experience Netflix lagging and even connection drops. But it’s less likely to happen with PIA.

And, you can unlock the best Netflix libraries with PIA:

  • Netflix US: +1,500 servers (14 locations)

If you can’t watch Star Trek: Discovery on Netflix because it’s not available in your country, we’re here to guide you in the right direction.

Star Trek: Discovery is a TV series that picks up about 10 years before Star Trek: The Original Series. It’s available to the US and Canada on CBS All Access, but you can’t find it on Netflix US and Canada.

Why use Private Internet Access

Developed by Kape Technologies, Private Internet Access is the best VPN for Netflix, including Star Trek: Discovery. It enables you to connect to more than 3,200 servers in 45 different countries, and all of them should work with Netflix.

Additionally, PIA has exclusive DNS servers to protect your DNS queries. It blocks ads, trackers and malware attacks in your web browsers, featuring support for OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec and P2TP connections. Also, PIA is better than AVG VPN for Netflix.

If you’re living or traveling to US or Canada, you don’t have to worry about missing your favorite TV show since you can still watch Star Trek: Discovery with a VPN tool.

Regrettably, free VPN tools rarely work with Netflix. That’s because the company is always looking for ways to ban VPN traffic, and it’s easy to do so when the IP addresses of free VPN services are public. And it can become really frustrating to keep getting Netflix errors with VPN.

But Private Internet Access is different because it’s a paid VPN service. It means that it’s being maintained by a team of professionals that frequently fix the IP addresses which fail with Netflix.

4 best search engines for finding visually similar images

We search for new images daily, especially if our work involves finding and using various images. But sometimes, we have an idea of what we want, but don’t know exactly what it is.

All in all, you know how the image you’re looking for looks, but don’t know its name. Well, what if we tell you that you already have what it takes to find the desired image.

The advanced technology in search engines allows us to search for images simply by its visual appearance.

In that manner, we made a list of the best search engines for finding visually similar images, without even entering their actual names.


What’s the best search engine to find visually similar images?

Google Images

Google is the most powerful search engine in the world, there’s no question about that. It has a mechanism of searching for a particular image by the visual appearance.

To search Google by image, go to google.com, click on the camera button in the search bar, and enter the image’s URL. Google will then automatically search the Internet for any visually similar images.

Searching Google by images appears to be the most effective in Google Chrome as you can perform the search simply by right-clicking the image and choosing the Search Google for image option.

The Ask Cortana option in Microsoft Edge does the same thing, but it still doesn’t provide as accurate results as Google.

So, if Google Chrome is your main browser, using the Search Google for image option is the most effective options. However, if you’re using another browser, you might check other search engines from this list, as well.

TinEye

TinEye is one of the longest-standing image search engines on the Internet. Using TinEye is even simpler than using Google Images.

You just open the site, enter the image’s URL, and the site will search for it through over 16 million indexed images.

Although TinEye works pretty well, Google Images actually did better according to our tests. If you’re looking for your online double, TinEye probably won’t find them for you.

TinEye’s best feature is MulticolorEngine. This feature allows you to search for images by the combination of colors. You choose two colors, and TinEye will show you all images that contain these two colors.

This is a great option for coming up with new ideas and discovering new images that might be useful to you. But keep in mind, ThinEye will only search for images with Creative Commons.

Bing Image Match

Microsoft’s search engine also has its own image-searching mechanism. Bing Image Match works the same way other image search engines do.

You just enter the image’s URL or upload your own picture, and Bing will do the search for you. Binge Image Match doesn’t appear to be as accurate as Google, but it’s still a very decent choice.

The only thing that will probably cost Bing some users is the fact that Bing Image Match is not available in all countries worldwide.

CC Search

CC Search is the search engine that only allows you to search for Creative Commons material. Its main purpose, of course, is to find visually similar images that match your search.

However, even after you find the desired image, you need to make sure you’re actually allowed to use that image. We can say that guys from CC Search really care about legality.

CC Search is not an image-searching engine only. You can also search for other material like videos, clip art, music, and more. Of course, it will only show you content under Creative Commons.

We hope these recommendations from our list were helpful. Do you know about some other awesome image search engine tools? For more suggestions, please reach the comments section below.

Mullvad VPN Netflix: Does it work? How do I unblock Netflix?

Numerous users turn to VPN services only to unblock Netflix libraries that aren’t available in their countries. And many unsubscribe as soon as they figure out that their VPN doesn’t work with Netflix.

If you’re interested in Mullvad VPN for Netflix, we’re here to help you decide if it’s worth the €5 monthly free. We tested its servers to see if they can unblock Netflix libraries, especially Netflix US.

All you need to know about Mullvad VPN for Netflix

Mullvad VPN is one of the safest VPN apps
Mullvad VPN is a premium VPN service that masks your IP address and protects your online identity. It’s probably the most privacy-concerned VPN service you can find on the web.

Mullvad is so determined to preserve your anonymity over the Internet that it’s one of the few VPN apps without registration.

Normally, when you get a VPN, you have to sign up with an email address. It’s the case of Hola VPN for Netflix. But Mullvad VPN makes an exception.

Instead of asking you for registration, it generates a random account number that will be used to associate you with the Mullvad VPN service.

What happens if you lose the account number? Easy: you lose access to your account since there’s no way for Mullvad to find out who you are.

Does Mullvad VPN work with Netflix?

Unfortunately, Mullvad VPN isn’t specially designed for streaming services like Netfix. Some Mullvad VPN servers temporarily work with Netflix, but it’s mostly a guessing game.

On the other hand, you can use Mullvad VPN for privacy and security. It can help you bypass censorship and safely download torrents while remaining anonymous.

How do I unblock Netflix?

Private Internet Access is the best VPN service
The best way to unblock Netflix is by using a VPN service whose IP addresses aren’t blacklisted by Netflix. And, one of the best in the business is Private Internet Access (PIA).

Created by Kape Technologies, Private Internet Access can unblock Netflix and other streaming services such as Hulu. It has more than 3,200 servers across 45 countries (a larger network than Mullvad VPN), so there’s always a new VPN IP address you can hide behind to circumvent the Netflix block.

PIA is intuitive enough to be used by beginners. It automatically finds the nearest server to give you the best possible speed, and it also displays the ping time of each server. Therefore, you can easily find the quickest server in a specific country by low latency.

You can unlock the best Netflix libraries with PIA, including:

  • Netflix US: +1,500 servers (14 locations)
  • Netflix UK: +180 servers (3 locations)
  • Netflix Canada: +240 servers (3 locations)
  • Netflix Australia: +55 servers (3 locations)

A VPN has numerous benefits. You can use it to hide your IP address, protect your online privacy, unblock Netflix, and set up a VPN between two computers at home or at work.

Mullvad VPN is a great VPN solution for protecting your online privacy and securing your browsing sessions, but it’s not reliable when it comes to unlocking streaming services like Netflix.

And Private Internet Access is simply better in this regard. Nevertheless, you can test both services to figure out for yourself which fits better and which VPN works with Netflix.

4 best browser toolbar removal tools for Windows 10/11

Third-party toolbars are something that can appear in web browsers after you install some software. The toolbars get sneakily installed along with the software.

Thus, many users are usually surprised to see additional toolbars emerge at the top of their web browsers. The third-party toolbars generally don’t greatly enhance browsers in any way.

Almost all of them include search boxes for their respective search engines, throw out pop-ups, waste a bit of RAM and slow down browsers.

Babylon, Ask.com, Yahoo, Dogpile, and MyWebSearch are a few notable third-party toolbars that mysteriously emerge at the top of browsers.

You can uninstall some third-party toolbars via the Control Panel. However, the Programs and Features applet doesn’t list all browser toolbars.

A few browser toolbars don’t even provide uninstall options for users to select. Removing them isn’t always straightforward, but there are various programs to quickly purge browser toolbars.

These are some of the best browser toolbar removal software for Windows.

Quick Tip:

How about a browser that has a set of great preventive features to protect you from impending toolbar infections? Try Opera One now, and you wouldn’t even need to do a cleanup with third-party tools.

Opera One comes with a built-in virus scanner, so you’ll know if the application you downloaded can carry some unwanted software. Also, it has built-in VPN, Ad Blocker and AI.

Try Opera now and forget about browser hijackers and PuPs.

Even more, resetting a browser to its default configuration might also get rid of numerous third-party toolbars without the need for additional software.

Do let us know if you managed to complete this procedure or if you’ve already tried out one of the previously mentioned software solutions in the comments area.

5 Best VPNs for Etisalat to Avoid Censorship

Are you traveling to the UAE or based in the UAE? You are most likely going to use the Etisalat Internet services in one way or the other.

Etisalat is the largest network company in the UAE and is the 13 biggest communication provider in the world. They have many services that make them widely used and have a customer network of over 90 million subscribers.

One major problem customers have using Etisalat, particularly customers in the UAE, is the extreme censorship of online content.

Since it is a government-run run organization, Etisalat censors offensive and semantic content before it gets to the viewer.

Also, adult content such as pornography websites and video-sharing sites with explicit content are blocked.

Anti-Islamic websites and VoIP services such as Skype are blocked by the network provider too.

In addition, there have also been recent claims that Etisalat uses a throttling technology that reduces Internet speeds when undergoing activities that involve heavy bandwidth such as gaming.

Hence, you can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to bypass this censorship and get access to content. VPNs let you access content that is blocked and enables you to browse anonymously.

However, not all VPNs work effectively in the UAE. This is because Etisalat is constantly upgrading its security protocols to block VPN services.

If Etisalat blocks your VPN, there is a probability the service you are using lacks one of the following features:

  • Automated killswitch option
  • Excellent encryption
  • Strict no-logs policy
  • Numerous servers
  • Good DNS leak protection

This guide highlights the best VPN services that can bypass Etisalat blocks.

What are the best VPNs for Etisalat?

New Valheim mod fixes network crashes after the latest patch

Valheim developers are working continuously to release game patches that fix the numerous game bugs reported by players. The most recent patch released a few days ago included a fix for sudden disconnection.

Paradoxically, after applying the patch, many gamers faced even greater game lags and overloaded networks, or even router or network crashes. Luckily, Nexus mod developers have already jumped in with a new mod that fixes these issues.

The Remove network overload mod does exactly that since the latest game patch sends any new in-game information over the network instantly instead of a one-time.

This is what a gamers noticed after installing last week’s Valheim patch:

Prior to 0.146.11, I was able to host a dedicated server just fine. However, after the patch, I noticed that as soon as someone tried to join it, my entire internet went down. Wi-fi and ethernet, the entire house lost connection. 


How to remove network overload with Valheim mod?

fix valheim network overload
  1. Download the open-source mod available on GitHub.
  2. Copy the file valheim_reenable_nagel.dll (in the zip) into the game’s plugins files – Valheim/BepInEx/plugins.

And that should do it. The fix addresses only client computers, not the server ones as well (like the Plus mod does, for instance) since apparently the issue is caused by all those joining a server.

There was yet another method tried by a few users successfully, also as clients. Namely, they attempted to re-establish their connection to the modem by resetting the browser pings value.


Reset browser pings value

reset browser ping values valheim
  1. Open Steam Settings and go to In-Game option.
  2. Reset Browser Pings / Minute to the lowest value (250).

We hope that these solutions will save the day for you to keep enjoying the captivating Valheim experience.

Note that the above-mentioned mod developers warn that after installing this one, desyncing or other issues such as crashes on the loading screen are still possible.

This mod only fixes the network overload by re-packaging smaller information packed into larger ones. So you might still experience massive lag while playing with your friends on a dedicated server.

Fortunately, until now there has been at least a tested fix for most bugs.

FIX: Adobe error code 109 [Problem reading this document]

Some Adobe Reader users have stated that an Adobe Reader error 109 error message pops up when utilizing that software. The error message states:

There was an error processing this page. There was a problem reading this document (109).

Another type of error message is also this one:

The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (109).

Consequently, they can’t open PDF documents when that error message appears. The error can also block users from saving or printing PDFs.

If that error message pops up for you in Adobe Reader or other Adobe software, check out some potential resolutions for it below.

How do I fix the Adobe Reader error 109 on Windows 10?

  1. Install the latest Adobe Reader
  2. Repair the PDF
  3. Select the Repair installation option
  4. Don’t open PDFs with the Adobe Acrobat DC Chrome extension
  5. Open the PDF with alternative software
  6. Download the PDF file again

1. Install the latest Adobe Reader

Like any other good software, Adobe Reader receives constant updates, new functionalities, and bug fixes. All of them are delivered via software updates.

For example, an error 109 dialog box error is shown to have been fixed in a hotfix patch. If this is your error or not, having the latest and greatest is a good idea.

Did you know that if a PDF file was created in a newer version of Adobe Acrobat Reader than the one you have installed, you might have trouble opening it? Another great idea to keep things updated.

We recommend you download the latest version of Adobe Reader in order to be sure you have it all working.

2. Repair the PDF

Error 109 can also be due to a corrupted PDF file. So fixing a corrupted PDF file might fix error 109. You can repair PDF files with the Stellar PDF Repair Tool.

The process is quite simple thanks to the easy-to-use interface. Open Stellar and add your PDF file. You could also add multiple files since batch processing is available.

With the file(s) selected, click on the Repair button to start the process. After that, you can see a preview of the repaired file(s). If everything is ok, save the new file(s) and you are done.

3. Select the Repair installation option

  1. Open Adobe Reader.
  2. Click Help and select Repair Installation.
  3. Restart Windows when Adobe notifies you to do so.

Adobe Reader includes a Repair Installation option that might come in handy for fixing the error 109. That setting repairs the software’s installation files.

4. Don’t open PDFs with the Adobe Acrobat DC Chrome extension

If you’re utilizing the Adobe Acrobat DC Chrome extension to open PDFs, save the PDF to a folder so you can open it with the Adobe Reader desktop software outside the browser.

Adobe’s browser extensions aren’t always as reliable as its standalone software for opening PDFs. A PDF will not open if there’s a corrupted browser plug-in.

5. Open the PDF with alternative software

If you’re sure the PDF is not in any way corrupted, try opening the document with alternative software.

That might not really be a fix for error 109, but we strongly recommend using alternative PDF software that might at least open the document.

Not only it will be able to open almost any kind of file you have on your computer, but you can also print and convert files from one format to another.

And if you might need to quickly edit a document or make small changes to a photo, you can do that right within this software.

The latest version provides light and dark themes alongside the new user interface making it a joy to use it.

⇒ Get File Viewer Plus 4

Recent Microsoft job listings suggest next Surface Duo could be 5G, use AI to improve picture quality

Microsoft’s dual-screen Surface Duo received praise for its premium design and productivity focus, even though it missed the mark on other important things like connectivity and picture quality. Surface devices have never been known for their top-of-the-line specs, but it’s safe to say that many early-adopters found the $1,400 launch price hard to justify considering the lack of NFC, 5G, and a competitive camera.

According to recent job listings spotted by Windows Latest, the successor to the Surface Duo could address some of the 1st-gen device’s shortcomings, especially the lackluster camera. One job listing for a Principal Android Camera System Architect/Engineer mentions the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve picture quality.

The candidate will develop pipeline architect features that integrate output of the hardware ISP and supplemental image processing algorithms utilizing computational photography and AI/ML algorithms from various partners. Understanding the processing blocks (CPU, GPU and NPU) capability and optimizing feature integration for power/performance and seamless customer experience will be key. You will help define the camera architecture and work with partners and algorithm development engineers in the development of deep learning and AI features.

Google was probably one of the first manufacturers to use AI in a pretty big way to improve picture quality on its Pixel smartphones, and it has been quickly followed by other smartphone manufacturers. The Surface Duo’s slim profile likely didn’t allow Microsoft to put the best sensor in the first-gen device, but AI will hopefully be able to improve things in the Surface Duo 2. However, AI alone likely won’t do miracles when we see Samsung putting no less than 5 different sensors on the back of its Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Another job listing for a SW/FW Engineer mentions 5G connectivity, something that the first Surface Duo doesn’t support. Pretty much all high-end smartphones released last year had support for 5G, and it would be very surprising if the Surface Duo 2 didn’t include it. Here’s what the job listing says:

Job responsibilities will encompass working across a team of high impact individuals who are designing and coding RF drivers, RF board bring up including LTE and 5G technologies, factory tools, modem protocols, mobile operator certifications and PTCRB/GCF certifications on Surface Duo devices. The job is highly dynamic and involves working across various disciplines to successfully deliver the product with the Surface Duo experience and quality.

Microsoft’s Surface Duo has just started shipping in four new markets in addition to the US, and it could be some time before we see a Surface Duo 2. It certainly took some time for previous Surface products to really mature: The Surface Pro line only made a big leap forward with the Surface Pro 3, which came with a bigger screen and a slimmer design. It’s still early days for dual-screen devices like the Surface Duo, but the next version will need to really nail the fundamentals if Microsoft doesn’t want this product to end up like the Lumia line.

Microsoft start testing Xbox Cloud Gaming at 1080p internally

Microsoft is getting ready to increase the quality of its Xbox Cloud Gaming technology that will soon make the jump from Android to the web and Windows 10 PCs. According to The Verge, the Xbox Game Streaming app for Windows 10 that the company is testing internally can now stream Project xCloud games at 1080p, which is better than the 720p resolution currently supported by Xbox Cloud Gaming on Android devices.

The new Xbox Game Streaming for Windows 10 leaked a year ago, but it has apparently improved a lot since then. The latest version tested by The Verge supports both Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud) and Xbox Remote Play, which lets Xbox owners stream any games installed on their consoles. Notably, this app will support game streaming from Microsoft’s new Xbox Series X|S consoles, something that isn’t supported with the old Xbox Companion app for Windows 10.

According to The Verge, the latest version of the Xbox Game Streaming for Windows 10 that Microsoft is testing internally will also support touch controls on PCs, though that isn’t yet functional in the leaked version of the app. More and more cloud-enabled games now support touch controls on Android devices, and it will be nice to get the same touch experience on Windows 10 tablets.

We don’t know yet when Microsoft plans to make this Xbox Game Streaming generally available, but Microsoft is reportedly planning a gaming event later this month. “This event is about Microsoft’s vision for the future of gaming, so things like xCloud, Xbox Game Pass, and more ways to access Xbox,”The Verge’s Tom Warren said on Twitter. We’ll see what happens, but it’s really time for Microsoft to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming devices to more devices through the web and a dedicated Windows 10 app.

3 Best Software Options for Stabilizing Shaky Footage

There was a time when only a select few were able to produce high-quality video footage.

This was due to the fact that such high quality demanded a steady hand and enough skill and experience to know how to hold and use the camera.

It is also worth mentioning that the video cameras used in those times were nothing like the ones available today in terms of features, quality, or stability.

What this all means is that you could immediately tell when a video product was of low quality because it lacked the masterful touch of a professional.

The video would be shaky and immediately labeled as poor or unprofessional quality.
