Titled “Cooperation among an anonymous group, protected Bitcoin during failures of decentralization,” the paper is now posted on the researchers’ server. Lead researcher Alyssa Blackburn of Baylor and Rice, along with team-mates Christoph Huber, Yossi Eliaz, Muhammad S. Shamim, David Weisz, Goutham Seshadri, Kevin Kim, Shengqi Hang, and Erez Lieberman Aiden, used a technique called “address linking” to study the Bitcoin transactions in the first two years of its existence: January of 2009 to February of 2011....

Also: The 6 best to-do list apps: Get organized If that sounds like you, Google has a feature in Docs that is sure to please.

Ultimately, choosing the best VPN comes down to your specific needs. There is no one-size-fits-all VPN; every VPN is different and will include a variety of features that you may or may not require. That being said, there are a few important attributes you should look out for when making your selection. We’ve put together a list of the criteria we think are most important — though it’s up to you which of these you prioritize!...

There are some things you should know if you’re choosing a VPN for yourself. What does a VPN do? First, let’s recap what a VPN is, and why you might use it. A VPN service is a tool that you use to obfuscate your connection from your PC, tablet, or smartphone to the internet. This is particularly valuable when using your device on a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where your transmissions might otherwise be open and unencrypted – and subject to interception....

Personally, I have documents and other files I don’t mind housing on Google Drive. At the same time, I have documents and files I’d rather keep in-house.

Also: Linux desktop powers consider uniting for an app store But what if you want a cloud-based office suite to use on your network, one that anyone in your house or small business could use?...

So, when you’re working on a very busy channel in a highly-populated Workspace, there will be times when you accidentally send a message into the ether of a thread, only to find out (embarrassingly enough) that you’ve misspelled something, tagged the wrong person, or simply got something completely wrong. When that happens, you can either go the Twitter route, delete the message, and/or repost it. Or, since we’re talking about Slack, you can edit your message....

Also: How to create multiple Google Calendars Once you’ve enabled Speedy meetings, all meetings of 30 minutes or more will be shortened by 5 or 10 minutes....

There are plenty of ways to prevent that, such as using Private DNS. But one of the best means of securing the data packets sent from your Android device is to use a VPN, and Android 13 has one built in. What is a VPN? Simply put, VPNs encrypt and anonymize the network traffic leaving your device, thereby making it harder for third parties to intercept and read it. VPNs hide your location, which also makes it harder for people and services to track you....

I prefer to use a VPN to access the subtitles I want because it also lets me watch more Netflix content.

However, you can also change Netflix’s display settings to alter the subtitles available to you. This guide will detail both methods. Of the 35 VPNs I tested, ExpressVPN is my favorite for unlocking foreign subtitles....

Now, with notifications, I can rely on either a desktop notification or an email to remind me of events and can even configure the time when those notifications are sent. Even better, this can be done on a per-calendar basis, so if you have multiple Google calendars, you can set up notifications specific to each. For example, I have one calendar that sends me emails the day before an event....
