Aligning Text in LibreOffice Writer
To get professional publishing results, here are a few tips and tricks to get the most out of LibreOffice Writer’s alignment options.
We Need to Talk
How computers learn languages
Whether through voice assistants, chatbots, or the automatic analysis of documents, rapid developments in AI are helping speech technologies make inroads. But how does AI manage to understand the subtleties of human language?
Lightning Protection
Locking down the Thunderbolt interface
The Thunderbolt interface supports extremely fast data transfer rates, but be careful about what you plug into your port, because Thunderbolt devices access memory directly. We'll show you some Linux tools for locking down your Thunderbolt interface.
Convenient Downloads
A download manager for the shell
A few lines of shell code and the Gawk scripting language make downloading files off the web a breeze.
Not All NAS
Your NAS isn't enough – you still need to back up your data!
Some users trust their data to powerful file servers that advertise enterprise data protection, but your Network Attached Storage system might not be as safe as you think it is.

Angry Reviewer

Network Tattletale
Monitoring application data traffic

Trust Tools
Using browser extensions to uncover disinformation
Fake information is experiencing a boom, but given the right tools, you can reliably separate the wheat from the chaff.
No Code, No Problem
Building apps with NocoDB
NocoDB lets you build useful applications without writing a single line of code.
