Import Excel data just by photographing a spreadsheet

Engadget

Microsoft recently rolled out a number of major updates to its products, including a particularly handy new feature for Excel. Using the Android version of the app, users will be able to snap a photo of a printed data table and have it converted into a digital, editable spreadsheet. The feature, which is available to Microsoft 365 subscribers, isn't available on iOS yet but Microsoft is promising it will arrive soon. The new import feature uses image recognition technology to identify all of the information on the page and convert it into an Excel spreadsheet in the app. It should eliminate the need to manually enter or copy data, depending on its accuracy. The feature, labeled in-app as "Insert Data from Picture," can perform the conversion from analog to digital with a single tap.


Fortnite Battle Royale offers prize for players who improve their account's security

The Independent - Tech

In an effort to better protect Fortnite Battle Royale from hackers, Epic Games has introduced an incentive for players who improve their account security. People who enable the two-factor authentification security feature will be able to unlock the BoogieDown emote for free, allowing them to celebrate or taunt opponents with a dance. Two-factor authentification helps improve security by adding an additional layer of proof that whoever is accessing an account is really who they claim to be. So rather than simply logging on, Fortnite players will need to use a code generated by an authenticator app on their phones, or send to them via email. "Once you've opted into two-factor authentication, you will be asked to enter the code from your preferred two-factor authentication method, then you will be signed into your account," Epic Games explains on its website.
