How to clear space in your Google for free

Popular Science

Make full use of the 15GB you get in Gmail, Photos, and Drive for free. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. If Google keeps bothering you to pay for cloud storage, it's not just you. You only get a relatively measly 15GB of storage free of charge with a Google account, and you have to split that across Gmail, Google Photos, and Google Drive. That 15GB can fill up quickly, but it doesn't have to.


How to recover your deleted files

Popular Science

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Sinking feelings don't come much worse than when you think you delete something you really need. Many of us now have files synced to the cloud from our phones and laptops, but sometimes data can disappear from there too--maybe through a click of the wrong button or a swipe across the wrong menu option. If this happens to you, don't lose hope-most cloud storage services come with a deleted file restore function that's similar to the Recycle Bin on Windows and the Trash folder on macOS. It means that any files that you delete, deliberately or not, can be recovered without too much fuss.

Google Drive's shared files and folders can now have permissions auto-expire Google Drive users can now grant temporary access to a file or folder, which is automatically revoked after a specified date. Google is now making it possible to set expiration dates on shared files and folders in Google Drive, reports Digital Trends . The feature applies to both shared drives and "My Drive," where users can grant temporary access to a file or folder that's automatically revoked after a certain date. This also means that temporary editing rights in "My Drive" no longer disappear completely when the period expires.

The AI Birthday Letter That Blew Me Away

The Atlantic - Technology

In May, I asked Google's chatbot, Gemini, to write a birthday letter to my best friend. Within seconds, it spat out the most impressive piece of AI writing I have ever encountered. Instead of reading as soulless, machine-generated text, the letter felt unnervingly like something I might've actually written. "You're probably rolling your eyes," the letter read, after a sentence that my friend would most definitely have rolled his eyes at. All I had typed into the chatbot was a nine-word prompt containing my friend's first name and the age he was turning.

PCWorld

Earlier this week, OpenAI announced that ChatGPT can now be connected to more apps and services, allowing you to pull your data from those sources in real time. Newly connectable sources that were explicitly mentioned include Outlook, Teams, Google Drive, Gmail, and Linear. ChatGPT can now connect to more internal sources & pull in real-time context--keeping existing user-level permissions. These new connections are only available for paid ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users. Furthermore, the feature is excluded for users in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and UK.


Accelerating Object Detection with YOLOv4 for Real-Time Applications

Object Detection is related to Computer Vision. Object detection enables detecting instances of objects in images and videos. Due to its increased utilization in surveillance, tracking system used in security and many others applications have propelled researchers to continuously derive more efficient and competitive algorithms. However, problems emerges while implementing it in real-time because of their dynamic environment and complex algorithms used in object detection. In the last few years, Convolution Neural Network (CNN) have emerged as a powerful tool for recognizing image content and in computer vision approach for most problems. In this paper, We revived begins the brief introduction of deep learning and object detection framework like Convolutional Neural Network(CNN), You only look once - version 4 (YOLOv4). Then we focus on our proposed object detection architectures along with some modifications. The traditional model detects a small object in images. We have some modifications to the model. Our proposed method gives the correct result with accuracy.


Surface Pro 11 review: Microsoft's big Arm leap almost pays off

The Guardian

Microsoft's latest Surface tablet promises to be a generational upgrade that goes beyond just being faster, quieter and more efficient – all down to a change in the type of processor at its heart. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. The Surface Pro 11 is not the first Microsoft machine to swap traditional Intel or AMD PC processors for Arm-based chips, similar to those in your smartphone or Apple's recent Macs and iPads. But it is by far the most successful, leaving even recent editions such as the 2020 Surface Pro X and last year's Surface Pro 9 5G in the dust.
