How to Forget a Wi-Fi Network on Mac

Your Mac automatically remembers W-Fi networks you’ve connected to in the past. However, the network it automatically connects to might not be the best option. Here’s what to do if you want your Mac to forget a Wi-Fi network.

In addition to removing old connections, forgetting a Wi-Fi network can help you troubleshoot connection issues. If a network has changed its password and your Mac doesn’t give you a password prompt (or if it’s just being flaky), you can try forgetting and rejoining the network.

To do so, click the Wi-Fi icon in your Mac’s menu bar, and then select “Open Network Preferences.”

Here, click “Advanced.”

Cum poti inregistra conferinte pe Zoom?

Oamenii au mai multe conferințe video de când au rămas acasă din cauza pandemiei COVID-19. Aceste sesiuni pot fi o modalitate excelentă de a păstra legătura cu prietenii și familia, de a desfășura afaceri și de a ține pasul cu școala.Uneori, însă, poate doriți să salvați o înregistrare a conferinței, pentru a o putea revizui mai târziu.

Zoom îți permite să înregistrezi apelurile dacă ești un utilizator gratuit sau un utilizator care plătește. Cu toate acestea, dacă folosești serviciul gratuit, vei putea salva înregistrările numai pe computer.Dacă dorești să salvezi înregistrări în cloud, va trebui să ai una dintre ofertele de abonament ale companiei.

Dacă ești gazda conferinței Zoom, fă click pe butonul de înregistrare din bara de instrumente din partea de jos a ferestrei de apeluri pentru a începe înregistrarea.

Dacă ai un abonament, ar trebui să ai opțiunea de a alege între realizarea unei înregistrări locale sau o înregistrare în cloud.Când începe înregistrarea, vei putea întrerupe sau opri înregistrarea folosind butoanele din colțul din stânga sus al ecranului sau din bara de instrumente Zoom.

Dacă ai optat pentru o înregistrare locală, apelul va fi convertit într-un fișier .mp4 și salvat pe computer.Dacă ai optat pentru o înregistrare în cloud, Zoom va afișa un mesaj care spune că vei primi un e-mail atunci când înregistrarea va fi gata.

What is Li-Fi?

Li-Fi stands for Light Fidelity and is a Visible Light Communications (VLC) system which runs wireless communications that travel at very high speeds.With Li-Fi, your light blub is essentially your router. It uses common household LED light bulbs to enable data transfer, boasting speeds of up to 224 gigabits per second.The term Li-Fi was coined by University of Edinburgh Professor Harald Haas during a TED Talk in 2011. Haas envisioned light bulbs that could act as wireless routers.Subsequently, in 2012 after four years of research, Haas set up company pureLiFi with the aim ‘to be the world leader in Visible Light Communications technology’.

Li-Fi and Wi-Fi are quite similar as both transmit data electromagnetically. However, Wi-Fi uses radio waves, while Li-Fi runs on visible light waves.

As we now know, Li-Fi is a Visible Light Communications (VLC) system. This means that it accommodates a photo-detector to receive light signals and a signal processing element to convert the data into ‘streamable’ content.An LED light bulb is a semiconductor light source meaning that the constant current of electricity supplied to an LED light bulb can be dipped and dimmed, up and down at extremely high speeds, without being visible to the human eye.

For example, data is fed into an LED light bulb (with signal processing technology), it then sends data (embedded in its beam) at rapid speeds to the photo-detector (photodiode).

The tiny changes in the rapid dimming of LED bulbs is then converted by the ‘receiver’ into electrical signal.

The signal is then converted back into a binary data stream that we would recognise as web, video and audio applications that run on internet-enabled devices.
