Microsoft Excel is an incredibly powerful program that’s just as essential in a laboratory as it is in the average office. However, scientists have had just about enough of Excel renaming genes as if they were dates. It didn’t seem likely anyone would convince Microsoft to change the way Excel works, so scientists got together recently and . Anyone who has spent time tinkering with data in Excel knows the pain of entering data by hand only to find out that Excel has formatted it in a way that makes it less useful. Scientists regularly use Excel to track work and do basic analysis on data before exporting it to more sophisticated tools.
There are a lot of practical reasons to set up an OS like Windows 10 in a VM rather than using it as a native installation. If you have to deal with files you can’t trust, need to test multiple OS installations on the same system, or need access to the operating system without wanting to use it as a daily driver, using it a VM offers access to its features and capabilities without worrying about needing to keep the OS installation around long-term. Luckily, setting up Windows 10 in a VM isn’t particularly difficult. Note: While this guide uses VirtualBox, it is not the only free VM software available.

Cameras are not my usual coverage — I tend to leave the topic to my colleague and professional photographer — but recent news from Canon camera testing caught my eye. It seems the recently released Canon EOS R5 and R6 both have a tendency to overheat when used in their highest-fidelity modes. The impact of this problem differs between the R5 and R6, but it hits both in a meaningful fashion. According to DPreview, the problem isn’t that Canon failed to communicate the limitations of either camera. Press materials distributed for the launch directly discuss the limited amount of shooting time the R5 and R6 offer and stress that neither camera is intended for commercial use.

Even blockbuster games like Minecraft wouldn’t be possible without Java. For anyone eyeing a career in programming, Java is essential learning. Even if you just want to tinker with coding as a hobby, it’s hard to get far without at least a familiarity with everything that Java brings to the table.
Google announced the Pixel 4 and 4 XL late last year with much fanfare, but reviews of the devices were mediocre. Google never talked about sales, but we can safely assume they were equally disappointing because the Pixel 4 is no more. Just 10 months after release, . It’s full-steam ahead with the Pixel 4a and upcoming 5G phones. The devices recently went out of stock on the Google Store, a condition which doesn’t last long when Google intends to continue selling a product.
