One of Android’s selling features is its openness. Some of it is by design, like the ability to use different app launchers or default apps. Others, however, are products of some rather involved hacking and development, specifically rooting and custom ROMs. Unfortunately, it seems that the latter set of superpowers might soon be coming to an end as Google ramps … Continue reading

Like most spreadsheet software, Google Sheets lets users enter various formulas to help calculate things and also fill up text fields. Users will also be able to populate fields by dragging the formula across various fields to make things quicker and easier, but it isn’t always very smart.
While it is great at calculating mathematical formulas, it doesn’t do so well with text, but that’s something Google is addressing in a recent update to Sheets where they are introducing what they are calling “Smart Fill”. As TechCrunch points out, you could think of this as being similar to Gmail’s “Smart Compose” feature where Sheets can recommend you formulas to use and will also be smarter at filling out text fields.
According to Google, “Say you have a column of full names, but you want to split it into two columns (first and last name, for example). As you start typing first names into a column, Sheets will automatically detect the pattern, generate the corresponding formula, and then autocomplete the rest of the column for you.”
In addition to Smart Fill, Google has also introduced a Smart Cleanup tool that allows users to clean up data in their spreadsheets by looking for duplicate rows and other formatting issues. These are merely suggestions and users are free to ignore them if they feel like it’s not necessary.

Listen, it’s never a good idea to download pirated software, but yet people do. There are many reasons for this, first of all it’s illegal. Secondly, because the source you’re downloading it from might not necessarily be trusted, and there could be some changes made that would hide malicious files inside of the installation.
Unfortunately, some Mac users are finding out the hard way because according to a report from Malwarebytes, there seems to be a new “EvilQuest” ransomware that is targeting Mac computers that is also being spread through pirated Mac apps. This was discovered when some users downloaded the “Little Snitch” app from a Russian forum, where the download actually contained the app itself, but also installed an additional executable file.
This malware is pretty smart in that upon installation, the file is moved to a new location and is renamed to “CrashReporter” to keep itself hidden in macOS’ Activity Monitor. Like most ransomware, it will proceed to encrypt all the files on the Mac computer and apparently, users will need to pay $50 to decrypt their files to get them back.
In addition to locking up your files, it has also been suggested that the malware will install a keylogger to monitor your keystrokes, presumably in hopes that you might be entering sensitive information like credit card numbers, usernames and passwords, and so on. So the next time you’re tempted to download pirated software, you might want to take this into consideration.

Many smartwatches and fitness trackers come with the ability to help you track your workouts, like when you run, when you swim, and so on. But what if you’re a complete beginner when it comes to working out and to wearables in general? This is an area that Polar is hoping to address with its new fitness smartwatch, the Polar Unite.
Unlike other fitness wearables that simply track your workouts, the Unite wearable actually comes with tips and also visual instructions on the types of workouts that you can do. This means that instead of stopping your workout halfway to look for a video on the internet, you can simply glance at your smartwatch to get an idea of what you need to do.
According to Polar, “Polar Unite provides real-time training stats that allow you to visualize the effort of your workout and easily see if you’re under or overdoing it. And following each workout, Polar Unite offers immediate insights about time spent in certain heart rate zones, how many calories you burned, and how much strain your training session put on your cardiovascular system, making it easy to track and monitor progress over time.”
There are also built-in timers and vibrations to help keep you on track as you work out. The Polar Unite is also relatively affordable with a $150 price tag, making it an easier pill to swallow if you’d rather not spend too much money on a wearable.
