TechByter Worldwide 2017-03-26: $50 Affinity Designer Battles Adobe Illustrator. Here's an Unwelcome Sight! Short Circuits. Spare Parts.
from TechByter Worldwide (formerly Technology Corner) with Bill Blinn · host Bill Blinn
An inexpensive vector graphic program might be just what you need, even if you use Adobe applications for other tasks. A disk drive suddenly goes off line and all efforts to revive it fail. Panic time? Not exactly. In Short Circuits: A plug-in for Chrome makes the N ew tab more useful, maybe to the point that some people will use it! A misbehaving mouse problem was resolved (I think) with an easy Registry patch. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Free tax preparation that really is free if you meet certain conditions, predictions that we'll see a lot more artificial intelligence used by stores, and retailers will also increasingly make use of the Internet of Things.
