Services are those that run in the background with some of automatically enabled on startup which results in your PC running slower or glitching. The good news is, you don’t really need some of these services slowing down your PC. So which non essential services should you terminate in-order to optimize your PC for better performance.

Unless you have been living under a rock or you have been in a comma for the past few years, you know Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the role it’s playing in our everyday lives by revolutionizing every industry from finance, education, healthcare and more. The big and small players have all invested in AI because well it’s here to stay and will soon be used in almost every aspect of our lives. Meta, Google and others have a dilemma. They need to stitch AI through their platforms, but users are understandably worried this is a privacy issue given some of these platforms main selling point is the secrecy in their end to end encryption features which guarantee absolute privacy and security. Google has been leading the charge, but has been careful to emphasize opt outs at all times. Meta has taken a different approach with WhatsApp. AI is there. You can’t remove it. But if you don’t like it, then just don’t use it. Cue the backlash. So what should users do?

This year will be ground zero for the commercialization of satellite smartphone services, but a key question is whether operators will charge extra for this capability or include it as part of customer subscriptions. A report by mobile industry analyst GSMA Intelligence says that the monetization of satellite services may hinge on whether mobile operators decide to charge for them, with a mixture of approaches already evident. Operators are already mulling whether to price tech into subs, says report, which notes Musk's Starlink satellite dominance. For clarification we're talking about satellite connectivity with unmodified, standard smartphones, for when you're out of cellular range or service, not dedicated sat-phones that have been around for some time now.

Artificial intelligence or AI as we know it has significantly reduced the time and resources needed to develop digital products. Entrepreneurs who fail to integrate AI into their operations risk obsolescence, as AI-powered competitors launch faster, optimize better, and deliver superior customer experiences. Despite this progress, the real opportunity lies in moving past AI as a mere productivity tool. How would you imagine a zero-human company? AI agents orchestrate other agents that use either groups of agents or specific tools to do their own specialized tasks. Is this possible today? There’s no doubt we’ll find out soon, but either way, the stage is set for it to happen.

Zimbabwe is planning a daring move to trace every mobile handset in the fight against cybercrime (allegedly). Zimbabwe’s telecommunications regulator is pushing for the creation of a nationwide database that can track and block stolen or illegal mobile phones in a move officials say will help combat rising cybercrime and protect digital financial transactions. But the big question is will it be the only reason of tracking the devices. When government tries to roll out such things we can’t help it but think of China and North Korea. Usually these always end up being misused by unlawfully tracking citizens or even censoring what is shared, effectively shutting down free speech and suppressing human rights. On the surface it would really useful in combating crime but we all know that, it will not be it’s only function. So what does this mean.

We live in a time where we hop between devices throughout the day, going from one screen to the next. The speed of innovation is faster than ever, and "older" devices can glitch, unable to handle software updates or mercury retrograde. When technology breaks, or you need to troubleshoot an issue, Google and YouTube are handy resources, but it can take a lot of time to find an answer. Now with artificial intelligence, you can get instant answers from a chatbot. No need to watch YouTube "how to" videos on double speed anymore. In this article, you'll learn how to use AI to troubleshoot any tech issue.

The question "Which professions will be replaced, and which will be created by artificial intelligence?" is not the right one when considering AI’s impact on the labor market. We are on the verge of a profound revolution, the consequences of which are still difficult to grasp. Some institutions have even rolled out programs to prepare students for a world undergoing one of the most significant transformations in history. The fact that AI still struggles with some tasks makes people feel superior to it, but the real question is not what AI can or cannot do today; it’s the pace at which it is learning and improving. If we imagined a human learning at the same speed, we would find it terrifying.

Mobile satellite connectivity enables a smartphones to establish a connection with a satellite network, providing communication in areas without cellular coverage similarly to what Space X is doing with StarLink but this time without the Kit as the middleman. With the introduction of the iPhone 14 series in 2022, Apple brought satellite communication to smartphones, allowing users to connect with emergency services via SOS messages even in areas without cellular coverage. Other smartphone brands, including Google and Samsung, followed, but the technology remained a niche feature available only in select regions and on a limited number of smartphone models but fast forward to 2025 it’s a changed game with it now calls and texts made available not just emergency SOS and more breakthroughs expected later this year.
