 Having tried direct audio recording on my PC when creating content, I realized I  needed more. I did wired and wireless lapel microphones, a dynamic microphone, and A USB microphone, but something was missing. I needed an interface that would allow me to connect multiple devices at once, a feature that my PC alone couldn't offer. I went on and got the Teyun Q24 sound card.  It is a 2-in, 2-out audio interface with two line inputs (XLR/TRS supported) to connect microphones(or 1 mic and 1 instrument). It has two gain knobs for the input, a DAW control knobs and a headphone port, and volume knobs. The audio interface also features 2 main outputs for external audio monitor speakers. It is powered by a USB 2.0 to USB B cable plugged into any PC. A USB mini cable can also be used, but it must allow data transfer. For any beginner content creator who wants to go beyond USB microphones and have control over their audio quality, the Teyun Q24 can be a steal for only $50.  I ...

  Let’s dive into the beautiful chaos. China’s AI push? It’s all about scale with a sprinkle of ambition—maybe too much, too fast. The government wants to embed AI everywhere, from smart cities to self-optimizing factories. They’re producing models almost as quickly as bubble tea shops open in Beijing, but experts note a lack of “seasoning”—the real-world impact is lagging behind the glitter.  China dreams of AI permeating 90% of its economy by 2030, but the current burst is outpacing investment, raising doubts about whether these cardboard skyscrapers will stand the test of time.​ Meanwhile, Character.AI just slammed the door on users under 18 after a wave of lawsuits linked to teen mental health tragedies. Emotional attachments to chatbots proved dangerous, sparking parent cheers and regulatory scrutiny.  The company will phase out open-ended chats for teens by late November, launch stricter age checks, and limit screen time—proving maybe kids and em...

If you’re a regular Google or Gmail user, chances are you’ve encountered Google Password Manager, the feature that stores your passwords in your browser or Google account. It’s designed to make life easier by saving your login details so you can access your favorite websites and apps without constantly re-entering your credentials. It’s undeniably convenient. Once you’re signed into your Google account, you can quickly log in to other platforms with just a click. But while this feature offers impressive convenience, it also raises an important question: At what cost does this convenience come? Like most digital tools, Google Password Manager isn’t perfect. Every convenient feature comes with its own set of risks, and in this case, those risks can be serious if not properly managed. The Convenience vs. Security Risk Google Password Manager securely stores your login details in the cloud, encrypted and linked to your Google account. However, this centralized system also creates a singl...
