Unlike a firewall or an antivirus suite, DEP can’t prevent malware from being installed on your computer. It’s only a security tool that monitors programs on the computer and ensures that they utilize the system memory safely....

Types of Dysphonia Nearly one-third of the population experience at least one form of dysphonia at one point in their lifetime. Though there are two main types of dysphonia—spasmodic and muscle tension—there are also several different iterations of disorder, ranging from temporary illnesses to more serious conditions. Spasmodic Dysphonia Spasmodic dysphonia—also referred to as laryngeal dystonia—is a rare, chronic condition that affects voice muscles in the larynx.

What Is Encryption? Whenever you send private data to another computer or server on the internet, which happens many times a day, there is some risk involved.

How Intermodulation Distortion Works Similar to Total Harmonic Distortion, Intermodulation Distortion is measured and represented as a percentage of the total output signal. And as with Total Harmonic Distortion, lower numbers are better for improved performance. Intermodulation Distortion can occur when two or more signals are mixed through a non-linear amplifier device. Each of the tones interacts with one another, producing altered (or modulated) amplitudes. This results in the formation of frequencies (often referred to as “sidebands”) not present in the original signal....

Those who live with cancer are real people with real lives that reach far beyond cancer. Most of us do not want to be defined by our cancer. People with cancer can often live very full and happy—though shorter for some—lives. Even if you’re not a cancer survivor, we are all survivors of something. You may be a survivor of a visible tragedy, or instead, a survivor of a less visible but just as traumatic emotional struggle....

What Is NVIDIA Optimus? Optimus is a technology developed by NVIDIA that automatically adjusts graphics based on how you use a device. This optimization better conserves battery power on a laptop computer. It is sometimes referred to as a hybrid graphics system. Optimus automatically transitions between integrated graphics and a discrete GPU based on the applications you use. This allows you to use high-performance graphics during gameplay or when watching an HD movie....

Is PCI Still Used Today? Modern computers mainly use other interface technologies like USB or PCI Express (PCIe). Some desktop computers might have PCI slots on the motherboard to maintain backward compatibility. However, the devices that were attached as PCI expansion cards are now either integrated onto motherboards or attached by other connectors like PCIe. Other Names for PCI A PCI unit is called a PCI bus. A bus is a term for a path between the components of a computer....
