Dogs have long been a hunting companion for humans, so it makes complete sense that almost as soon as robotic quadrupeds were perfected, we’d be slapping big ol’ guns on ‘em. Boston Dynamics might not want anyone using Spot for evil, but there are plenty of other bot makers happy to make robo-dogs ready for war.
When you start your computer for the first time of the day, or whenever you reboot it, apps will launch alongside Windows. Depending on your preferences, we could be talking about apps like messenger apps, webcam apps, audio control apps, and so on.
Some of these apps are meant to be run in the background and might be necessary, like Google Drive so that it can offer users access to the latest and most up-to-date synched files. However, sometimes these startup apps can slow down a computer’s boot time, especially if you are on an older computer with aging hardware.
Or maybe the apps you want to be launched at startup don’t because the app doesn’t have a setting to launch on startup. This is where the startup folder comes in handy, where you can essentially put apps into it or remove it to manage which apps are launched whenever your computer boots up.
When it comes to the startup folder, there are actually two. This is because Windows allows for multiple user accounts on a single computer, so there’s actually a startup folder for all users, meaning that the apps in this folder will launch regardless of who logs into the computer, and the other is for the current user, which means that apps in this folder will only launch for that particular user.
Now that you’ve located the startup folder, you can start adding applications to it. This is a pretty easy process and if you’re familiar with creating program shortcuts, then this will be a piece of cake.
If you notice that your startup folder is empty and that there are no apps despite the fact that you know for sure that apps do launch whenever you start Windows, don’t worry as they are in a separate location.

Alarms on your smartphones are designed to help remind us of something that we need to do, whether it be a task at hand or simply waking up. Unfortunately, the default alarm sound on phones can be rather jarring and somewhat unpleasant, but then again, isn’t that the whole point?
After all, what good is an alarm if it doesn’t snap you out of your sleep and get you up and running for the day, right? However, if you think that maybe you could benefit from a nicer sound that might make you wake up in a more pleasant manner, then here’s what you need to do to change the alarm sound on your smartphone.
One of the cool features of picking a song is that you can actually choose songs from Apple Music if you’re subscribed. This means that you’re not limited to what’s on your phone, but essentially the entire Apple Music catalogue. You will need to download the song for offline play first for it to work, so check out our guide here if you’re not sure how to do that.

American soldiers won’t be training with HoloLens headsets for a while. Reuters and Windows Central report the US Army has delayed the deployment of the HoloLens-based Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) by a year, to September 2022. Janesunderstood the delay was prompted by the need to bump operational testing from July this year to May 2022 to “further mature” the mixed reality technology.
The Defense Department’s Inspector General launched an audit earlier in October to determine whether or not Microsoft’s system would meet requirements. It’s not clear if the audit is linked to the delay.
This didn’t mean the military-oriented HoloLens was in trouble. The Army maintained it was “fully committed” to the nearly $22 billion IVAS contract, and had conducted tests as recently as September. The branch planned to “regularly” conduct tests through its fiscal 2022, which ends September of next year.
IVAS is meant to serve as both a combat assistant and training tool. Infantry will see squad positions and other vital data in the field, complete with night vision — they’ll ideally have the kind of situational awareness previously reserved for video games. In training, the headsets can supply data to help instructors improve specific techniques.
The delay won’t do much to allay criticism of the HoloLens deal from inside Microsoft. Employees have long objected to Microsoft directly supporting the military and ‘gamifying’ war, especially as workers didn’t have input on the decision. Microsoft isn’t likely to change its tune, though. The company sees IVAS a way to aid and protect the troops rather than an offensive weapon — and losing the contract would clearly hurt both Microsoft’s bottom line and momentum for HoloLens at large.

I think it’s time to retire the term “scream queens,” the epithet for women who star in horror flicks where they’re constantly on the run from monsters, murderers, more. That’s because there is only one true Scream Queen, and her name is Jamie Lee Curtis, star of several Halloween films, Prom Night, The Fog, Terror…
