The Wiki Space|W5|

 The Wiki Space Amongst the internet, there are various wiki spaces for people of all fields to discover and join; a wiki is a site that allows the users to freely edit or change content as needed. I will be addressing several wiki spaces and how they can benefit users based on their website format and ability to allow groups to edit content and share content. On an educational format, or a more business perspective.   TiddlyWiki ( https://tiddlywiki.com/ ) TiddlyWiki is a wiki site that allows you to create a notebook of sorts, for organizing your information, either for personal or educational means. It seems more so for a teacher than a student, but someone busy enough could find a way to make use of an organizer at any point. The site has a face with the latest updates and features, allowing you to sort of link directly to the post when they did it, providing more info to those who need it. Due to the open-source format, anyone can upload a community resources/plug-in to incr

                    Wikis, Emails, and Social Networking.       The development of internet infrastructure has allowed everyone to connect and buy devices at an ideal price. With these technologies, the ability to share knowledge become faster and more efficient, one of the most known sources is called a Wiki, or Wikipedia being the oldest and most well-known Wiki site. Wiki sites allow for information to be contributed and edited amongst many editors; this nature is often seen as an un-credible source for citing any sources. It is recommended as an easy way to get a general idea on a topic and to advance from that point into a broader topic. Getting the message to the receiver has always been the goal when you send mail, with the creation of Email services, it allowed for everyone to get a digital form of notifications, as it was the fastest way to start alerting someone to a problem, or a fun way to communicate to others. Everyone was eventually able to communicate this way, it beca

  Fighting Malware When you browse the web, you can sometimes download harmful files, sometimes on purpose, other times it could be an accident or even a forced unseen download. So you’ll want the best protection you can get. Sometimes your Operating System or browser can come with security already built inside of it, but it doesn’t always clean up everything. You’ll need to find an antivirus tool or a malware protector/finder; some known tools are Malware Bytes and the IObit Malware Protections, but some of these costs a year or up to a packaged bundle that usually runs quite cheap for a year (30.00+ USD) But the benefits of a paid subscription usually outpace that of a non-paid subscription. ClamWin is an Antivirus open source software that can be used completely free, you’ll never have to pay, but you maybe missing out on dozens of benefits from using a trial/free version of the paid versions of known antivirus software. And open-source antivirus software are usually rarely upda

  3D Modeling, and the beast of prices. When I had to make a 3D-printed arm for a class, the program used the best free software out there; it was easy to teach and easier to pick up. Blender was the name, producing and rendering 3d projects were the game. The better you are at 3D creation, the better you will be able to use Blender, as most high-price 3d modeling software’s are quite expensive, and if you are new to 3d projects, it would be a waste to do such an expensive measure towards something you might not be fond of. Blender is the gateway or starting point for some editors; they may even continue to use it due to the open nature it presents. But it is not fashioned for enterprise or business endeavors, as it does not have the proper capability as a high-priced software. Maya has an expensive price running along with it. Still, it is based on a more expensive set-up and allows free-hand drawing and industrial rendering capabilities, making this a better choice for a company. A

Tor and the World of Chrome As technology advances, so do the tools we use to access that technology, and so forth. You may have a choice of one to three different operating systems (Windows, Linux, ac) There is a vast world of browsers that you can use, some more customizable, and others strictly meant to keep you safe while browsing and keeping things discreet. Tor Project or the Tor Browser is one such browser that, by definition, is made to keep everything you do conceal. Tor is a volunteer/non-profit based service that allows you to browse with anonymity. It is also known for being a skeptical browser, as some use it for unscrupulous deeds or tasks due to the browser's nature. The benefit of being discreet is a feature some are looking for, especially since no fee or payment is due to access this software. The downside is that it is advised to not use any sort of customization or extensions on the browser, as it is meant to not be tracked, and some extensions can lead to sma
