I have no idea what exactly is going on with Facebook these days. I'm seeing precisely nothing of my actual friends; one friend had to do something drastic and get on the actual phone to tell me some good news she had posted about a few weeks previously. So I'm seeing no friends, but plenty of random Facebook groups and ads.
LibreOffice includes all the tools you're accustomed to in an office suite: documents, spreadsheets, presentations, formulas, drawing, and even a database. The tools are compatible with the MS Office equivalent, and you can even configure them to default to the Office file format (such as .docx). LibreOffice also has a customizable UI, so you can have the interface you want. LibreOffice is free to install and use on as many computers as needed.
In 2025, video content is everywhere. YouTube alone records over 3.7 million new videos uploaded every single day, making it the world's largest video hub for learning, entertainment, and inspiration. But sometimes, you don't just want to stream a video - you want to keep it. Whether it's a music video, a tutorial, or a lecture, converting YouTube to MP4 gives you the flexibility to watch anytime, edit for projects, or simply save it for later.
Portugal has rapidly climbed the ranks of global dream destinations for expats, retirees, and digital nomads seeking sun, surf, historic charm, and an affordable European lifestyle. Its laid-back pace, beautiful coastlines, and relatively low cost of living make it appear like the perfect place to build a new life abroad. However, behind the Instagram-perfect images of tiled streets and sunset wine pours lie realities that few newcomers anticipate before arriving.
Have you ever clicked on a link only to land on an empty webpage with the message "Error 404" or "404 Not Found?" If so, you're not alone. There are several reasons this can happen the simplest being a misspelled URL. But increasingly, the cause is that the page has been deleted or moved, sometimes intentionally. That's why DW Fact check has put together a guide to help you find deleted or altered content.
There was something about the internet of old. The leisurely, dial-up conjuring of a digital page via Netscape was certainly revolutionary, but to a seven-year-old me it was more; at once novel and expansively thrilling, it literally put the world at my young fingertips. Later, even when the paradigm shifted to high-speed, there was still a certain idealistic nascency to the web.
Yeah, there are two things that I think made Google the dominant search engine that we know it as today. The first is that it was just a better product. It was a better search engine than the competition. It wasn't the first one, it wasn't the only one, right? People remember Yahoo was a very big company, they did search. AltaVista is one that I remember using back in the day. And Google search engine is better, I think, for two reasons.
The problem is not just social media, but rather the quick "hits" of news, entertainment, and other information we experience all day long. These short bites, without context, are diminishing our prefrontal neural networks and affecting our ability to plan, organize, and solve problems. Teens who think they understand an issue because they've seen a 15-second video about it have not only missed the news, but they've missed the opportunity to understand context, evaluate sources, and draw conclusions. And it's damaging their brains along the way.
With more and more countries offering official visas for international remote workers, it's now easier than ever to live and work abroad without giving up your 9-to-5 (just don't forget to clock in). Digital nomad visas generally function like extended tourist visas for remote workers, with most covering stays between six months and one year. Although some countries popular among American expats, like Mexico, have seen recent bouts of protest and disapproval from priced-out locals, the competition over global talent
Well, the latter might be common among the workforce's youngest members, as a number of recruiters have been pointing out a generational gap in phone etiquette. "I just found out that Gen Z don't answer the phone when they answer the phone," one recruiter explained in a recent TikTok post, now with more than 1 million views. "I think it's so weird, it's so awkward."
Like many backpackers, I'm a sicko. I have weighed all my gear in order to maintain a spreadsheet for pack weight on every trip I'm on. I've spent more money than I care to think about in order to drop pounds, or even ounces. This is why I'm the proud new owner of a power bank that looks like a toy.
The future of banking is not in a single, clean leap. It's showing up in fragments: APIs on top of legacy systems, automation paired with human judgment, digital tools balanced by hand-holding for companies new to the digitization journey. Emerging from these fragments aren't just new tools or products, but a slow rebuild of banking's operating system. My recent stories on Amex, Citizens, and BNY highlight different layers of this rebuild.
