Image AI Generated Google is updating the web version of Drive to enhance user accessibility.  The new home page, replacing "My Drive," aims to simplify file access by displaying the most relevant items prominently.  While "My Drive" remains accessible, the revamped home page introduces features like personalized file suggestions based on user activity and Calendar events.  Users can opt for file or folder suggestions, accompanied by details on why the suggestions are made, ownership, and location.  Filters such as modification date, location, people, and file types are retained for efficient file organization.  For those preferring the traditional view, the option to maintain "My Drive" as the main display is available in Drive account settings.

Image AI Generated Today I want to share with you news that has particularly surprised me: NASA has launched a  tour in Spanish  of the International Space Station ( EEI), a significant step towards linguistic inclusion. The protagonist of this tour is  Frank Rubio , an astronaut who has broken records with his 371-day mission in space, the longest for an American. The ISS, that technological marvel that floats in space, has been inhabited continuously for more than 23 years.

From human health studies to plant research, the ISS is a melting pot of discovery. Now, thanks to Frank Rubio and NAS A, we can get a closer look at what it means to live and work in space. Frank has not only been a resident on this space station, but has actively participated in more than  3,300 experiments , becoming the hands and eyes of the researchers here on Ear...

  Image AI Generated At home we have a WiFi called "Ultraflashfiber", to give a little humor to the topic while at the same time letting the neighbors know that we don't like to share the password with others. It's not about selfishness, it's about security.  Unauthorized access to your Wi-Fi network can lead to several risks, both to information security and network integrity. Here I detail some of these risks: Access to Personal and Confidential Information  : An attacker who accesses your Wi-Fi network may be able to intercept network traffic and obtain sensitive information, such as passwords, banking details, personal emails, and files shared on the network. Using Your Connection for Illegal Activities  : If an attacker uses your Wi-Fi connection to perform illegal activities, such as downloading copyrighted content, cyber attacks on third parties, or disseminating illegal material, the IP address associated with your connection could be tracked and you would...

It can be expensive to "fill up completely" for the Americans. With the new type of charging fee, it becomes a point to stop in time Full charging stations are becoming an increasingly large problem, and Tesla has tried to solve the problem in various ways in the past. Now they have chosen to introduce a "rush hour fee" - this they call a congestion fee in English - at certain Supercharger stations in the USA, as a kind of answer to the problem. This fee then takes over the role of today's idle fee , which only kicks in when the Supercharger station is at least half full and the car is no longer charging. Makes it very expensive with "full tank" Congestion fees, on the other hand, will start to run as soon as the car's battery passes a predetermined current level, which is currently set at 90 percent. When this happens, an extra dollar is added - that is, about one krona - per minute of charging. The graph is a bit old, but it illustrates the point...

It is based on Windows 11 23H2.  The creator claims that he succeeded by as much as 20%.  reduced the size of the system compared to the previous release, which in itself is quite an achievement.
