Spotify Premium Subscriber? Now You Can Listen to Audiobooks, Too

Spotify listeners in the US will probably start seeing audiobooks in their offerings Wednesday. They’re a new perk for Premium subscribers.

Spotify just announced that more than 200,000 audiobooks are available to listen to, for free, for Spotify Premium subscribers. The books include all genres, and according to Spotify, more than 70 percent of them are bestselling titles. However, there are a few minor details of which you should be aware.

The most important detail in the announcement is that you’ll be limited to 15 hours of audiobook listening in a given month. In the news announcement for the new feature, Spotify said, “Fifteen hours should get you around two average audiobooks per month, but if you do hit the limit, you can purchase a 10-hour top-up.”

The “top-up hours,” however, are only sold in 10-hour increments, and are $10.99. But they do carry over for up to 12 months if you remain a Premium subscriber.

Premium subscriptions cost $10.99 monthly for an individual subscription, $14.99 monthly for Premium Duo, which allows two Premium accounts, or $16.99 monthly for Premium Family, which allows six Premium or Kids accounts. Unfortunately, the audiobook perk remains 15 hours for all plans, meaning, if you have a Family plan, you’ll be sharing the 15 hours between all six accounts.

Also important to note is that if you have a Spotify Student account ($5.99 monthly with ad-supported Hulu included), you won’t have access to the 15-hour audiobook perk.

Students and Spotify Free subscribers can still access audiobooks, but you’ll need to pay individually for each book you choose to listen to.

The audiobook perk is available to all Premium subscribers (with the exception noted above) starting today.

Google Adds AI to Help You Manage your Smart Home Better

Google has dropped some new updates for its Nest and Home apps to help with automation and more control.

The Google Home app now has expanded controls for more devices, like smart fans, robot vacuums, and home sensors.

The script editor in Google Home is a useful spot to create automation for your various smart things, and now it’s got AI to help you make even more sophisticated routines. For example, you can have the included AI help you create a “package delivered” automation using your smart camera and some custom notifications when you get a box at your door.

You won’t have to learn script languages, either, since now there’s a new experimental feature called help me script to create custom routines. You can use natural language to create your automation, like, “When it’s sunset, turn on my lights and close the blinds,” and the AI will get to work generating a script for the Home app.

There are also some new starter and action sets for your Household Routines, making it possible to add specific actions when specific triggers in the environment happen.

“For example, every night at 10 PM, you can have your blinds close, lights gradually dim, humidifier set the humidity level, and doors lock, all as part of one automation,” said the press release.

Nest thermostats and Android get some new updates, too, including a Seasonal Savings program that will analyze your schedules when the season changes for the former. Android brings the home panel and Google TV widget to more devices running Android 14, letting you manage your Spaces and Favorites on the lock screen or find what to watch on your home screen.

The First 5 Things You Should Do With Your New Computer

Hello World! Here are five things to address when you get a new computer:

Update Your Antimalware Program

The last thing you want to do is get your new computer infected with malware. Who wants that?

We considered calling this “install an antimalware program” but almost all computers come with one preinstalled. Windows has Microsoft’s own tool built-in, so most PCs are ready to go.

Here’s the thing, though: it won’t be updated. Probably not, anyway. So, after setting it up, head to the scanner’s settings and update the “definitions”—the instructions that teach the program how to identify and remove new viruses, Trojans, worms, etc.

As mentioned above, new Windows computers typically have basic antivirus protection, but it’s not the best. There are plenty of antivirus programs for Windows that you can get for free; you can also remove viruses on your Mac.

Install Available Windows Updates

Yes, you’d think your brand-new computer would be fully updated, but chances are it won’t be. Microsoft releases security and non-security updates to Windows on at least a monthly basis, oftentimes more frequently than that!

Windows Update restart required message

The Windows Update tool is preconfigured to download and install updates automatically. While this is generally a good thing, it can be a bit overwhelming of a thing to happen in the background during the first few hours of using your new computer. Fortunately, it’s easy to change Windows Update settings—this is something we usually recommend people do.

Windows Update might install driver updates for you, too, which are needed for your hardware to work properly. However, Microsoft only provides basic drivers for some hardware, and will not install a driver for some gaming mice, USB microphones, and other devices you might plug into your new computer, like a webcam, drawing tablet, etc.

Fortunately, there are several options when it comes to using a free driver updater tool, which is a program that can check for missing or outdated drivers and, oftentimes, download and install them for you, sometimes even automatically.

Keep one of those programs on your computer to make sure you always have quick access to these updates. They’re especially helpful if your network adapter doesn’t work and you need a network driver but don’t have an internet connection. This might be a scenario if you’ve installed Windows manually.

 

Install a File Recovery Program

This one might surprise you. Why install a program to help recover accidentally deleted files if you haven’t even used your computer yet, let alone lost something?

Here’s why: the big catch-22 about file recovery programs is that you’re better off installing one before you actually need it. Waiting until the file has been deleted to install the program, might overwrite that same space on the hard drive where your deleted file is sitting, preventing you from undeleting it. That’s not a risk you want to take.

See our Free File Recovery Software Programs list for a number of excellent and completely free undelete tools. Just install one and forget it. If you need it in the future, it’ll be there.

Sign Up for an Online Backup Service

Yep, another proactive step here, one you’ll be thanking us for someday.

Online backup services are combination software tools and subscription services that automatically keep what data you want to be protected on secure servers away from your home or business.

An online backup service is the best and most cost-effective long term solution to keeping your data safe.

The better-rated ones in our list are inexpensive, let you back up as much as you want, and are really easy to download and install. However, if buying a new computer is the last big purchase you want to make for a while, consider using a free backup service or, at the very least, a local backup tool.

Uninstall Programs You Don’t Want

You may already have noticed that your computer came with a lot of…well, let’s just say “extra” software.

In theory, leaving these programs installed won’t hurt much if anything, aside from taking up a bit of hard drive space. In reality, many of these preinstalled programs run in the background, hogging up memory and processor power that you’d rather use for other things.

Our advice? Head into Settings of Control Panel, depending on your Windows version, and uninstall those programs.

Windows 11 Settings apps and features list

An easier option, if you’d like, is to use a dedicated program for just this purpose. They’re called uninstallers, and we’ve reviewed a number of them. See our Free Uninstaller Software Tools list for our favorites.

One of those tools is called PC Decrapifier.

Google Shows Off Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro’s New Sensors and Updated Cameras

Google’s flagship Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones are ready for the spotlight. You can pre-order the phones today or pick one up in a retail store starting October 12. You’ll get seven years of Android updates, a Google first, including OS, security, and feature drops. If you order the Pro, Google will toss in a Pixel Watch 2 for free. The Pro starts at N730,000 while the regular 8 starts at N530,000.

Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro
Google

The company revealed the new devices during its keynote on Wednesday, showing off the new cameras, sensors, and specs for both Pixel products. Pixel 8 is designed with contoured edges, comes in Rose, Hazel, and Obsidian finishes, and is smaller in size than its predecessor. It features a 6.2-inch display that Google says is 42% brighter than the one on Pixel 7.

The Pixel 8 Pro has a 6.7 “Super Actua” display with Google’s “brightest display yet.” The larger phone has a matte glass back and comes in Porcelain, Bay, and Obsidian finishes. Plus, the 8 Pro has a new temperature sensor on the back, letting you scan objects (is your pan hot enough? Is the baby bottle too warm?). The company has submitted an application to the FDA to let it scan human temperature and send this data to a Fitbit.

Google

The cameras have been upgraded on both devices as well, with a bigger ultrawide lens with Macro Focus, a telephoto lens that Google says captures 56% more light and can take 10x zoom photos “at optical quality.” The Pro’s front camera gets autofocus for better selfies, too.

The camera app has a new interface, which Google claims is more intuitive than ever. The Pixel 8 Pro will offer Pro Controls, letting you manage stuff like “shutter speed, ISO, 50 MP photos across the zoom range, and more.”

AI photography is a Google specialty, and the Pixel phones are full of it. There’s the Best Take feature, where you get to blend in various takes from a series of photos to get everyone’s best look. For example, if your kid has their eyes closed in the photo you want, Best Take will swap in their face from another photo in the series.

The phones feature Magic Editor and Audio Magic Eraser, too, letting you move stuff around in your photos or reduce noise in your video, respectively. Later this year, Pixel 8 Pro will get Video Boost, “which pairs Tensor G3 with our powerful data centers to apply cutting-edge processing to your videos. It adjusts color, lighting, stabilization, and graininess, and the result is stunning videos that look true to life,” wrote Brian Rakowski, VP of Product Management. “Video Boost also enables Night Sight Video on Pixel for better low-light smartphone video quality.”

A Beginner’s Guide to the 10 Most Popular Programming Languages

Read on to learn about the most popular programming languages being used in today’s tech world. Before we start, it’s useful to note that some of these might also be among our list of the easiest programming languages for beginners, but not many. If you are looking to become a web developer and want to know where is the best way to start learning to code, it’s best to follow those guides instead.

So without further ado, here is out line-up of the most popular programming languages. If you want to skip ahead to a particular one, just use the clickable menu.

  1. Java
  2. JavaScript
  3. PHP
  4. Golang
  5. Swift
  6. C
  7. C++
  8. C#
  9. Python
  10. Ruby

 

1. Java

Just like coffee, Java is one of those languages that everyone wants and needs to function on a daily basis. At over 25 years, it’s one of the oldest and most adopted programming languages and is especially popular in large-scale businesses and enterprises where many use it to run their internal software.

It’s valued for its ability to work in many different environments, while maintaining readability and scalability. How popular is it? It’s estimated to be running on well over 15 billion devices worldwide, as it is used to create all those Android apps you see on your phones.

Java has also been one of the main languages taught in academia and maintains its popularity due to its simplicity and compatibility, as older applications built with it continue to work, despite new releases. It’s also the number one language for developers working with the cloud, something that will serve to only increase its popularity in future.

Who uses Java? Amazon, Ebay, SAP, and many financial institutions

2. JavaScript

Due to the use of similar words, you might initially think these two programming languages are intertwined. In truth, there are similarities, but there are stark differences as well.

What’s the difference between Java and JavaScript?  Essentially Java is a lot more robust in its ability to create complex applications, but it must first be compiled by another program before it can be read by the computer. On the other hand, JavaScript must be run through the browser .

Many web developers use JavaScript to bring originality and interactivity to websites—from page effects to button animations.

Without a doubt, JS is part of the foundation of browser structure and many basic functions that are done in a browser wouldn’t be possible without it. Actions like real-time communication, loading emails, and browser extensions all rely on JavaScript to properly function and deliver a high user experience.

Companies using JavaScript: Every company that has a website. Seriously. There’s a reason it’s on this list of the most popular programming languages.

If that caught your eye, our in-house web developer Abhishek shows you the ropes of JavaScript in this video:

3. PHP 

PHP is a scripting language that helps create dynamic web pages in which users can submit and transfer information on websites—think contact forms and user logins.

It is responsible for executing code on a server—like adding, deleting, and modifying data and then returning the results in the browser. One of the main reasons that PHP is popular with developers is because the scripts are easy to implement and widely used in all kinds of websites.

Companies using PHP or some form of it: Facebook, Google, WordPress

4. Golang

Short for Golang (or gopher??), this language was actually developed within Google itself, and its usage has quickly spread beyond Silicon Valley. Syntactically similar to C (more on that below), Go is open-source, statically typed, and ideal for creating software. You’ll often find it used in the backend for APIs, CLIs, and databases.

Go sits high among the most-loved and most-wanted languages by programmers in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey, and this popularity seems sure to increase into 2023 and beyond.

Companies using Go: Google (obviously), Uber, Twitch, and Dropbox

5. Swift 

Swift was created by Apple in 2014 to revamp Objective-C and has become the de facto language for OS X and iOS developers to create their applications.

It’s meant to be easier to use and create more rich applications, while saving time. There are many companies incorporating Swift into their apps that were written with Objective-C, making it most up there with the most popular programming languages.

Companies using Swift: Lyft and LinkedIn have written their entire mobile applications with Swift

6. C 

C existed before the internet and the modern idea of a browser was created. It is a low-level language that doesn’t have the ease of a web-based framework to help build websites. It is mainly used for writing software, creating libraries, and making things run efficiently.

It is the foundation from which other programming languages, like C++ and Objective-C, were created.

Companies using C: Apple, Microsoft, Oracle

7. C++ 

C++ is used to write applications for Adobe and Microsoft and other performance-critical applications like video games, web browsers, and development environments.

Imagine any large scale software infrastructure as being written with C++ and you probably wouldn’t be wrong.

Companies using C++: Microsoft, LinkedIn, NASA

8. C# was named after the musical note

C# was designed by Microsoft and used for enterprise applications that use the .NET framework. It is based off of the C and C++ languages. Many developers who work extensively with Windows use C# when building applications.

It is a language in competition with Java that is robust with Windows and as a result, is used to create large Windows applications and large websites. In other words, it doesn’t offer the cross-platform universality of Java, but it is nevertheless very popular and a sought-after programming language with employers given the fact that the Windows environment is so prevalent with companies.

Companies using C#: Any company dealing extensively with Windows

9. Python 

Guido van Rossum, who created the Python language, wanted a “short, unique, and slightly mysterious” name and decided on Python while reading published scripts from “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”. No, seriously. So why is it one of the most popular programming languages?

Similar to Ruby, Python is known for its readability and simplicity and serves as a good introductory language for budding developers. Hugely important for data analytics, it also gained popularity in replacing Java in introductory programming classes in college courses.

Companies using Python: Google, Reddit, NASA, Dropbox

10. Ruby

Ruby has gained popularity for its readability and relative ease to learn. It’s a popular introductory programming language as it was built with the belief that programming should be fun. It provides a great introduction to object oriented programming and concepts like the MVC architecture.

A popular framework built with Ruby code is Ruby on Rails. Just like how train tracks make it easier for a train to travel to its destination than navigating over uncharted territory, Rails allows barreling web-developer-locomotives to quickly build effective websites using established conventions and foundations.

Much like Javascript, it has a bounty of 3rd party libraries that make it possible to create highly developed websites in a fraction of the time.

Companies using Ruby: Bloomberg, Square, GitHub, Hulu

How to Embed Google Map in HTML [Step-By-Step Guide]

Want to know how to embed a Google Map in HTML for your website? You’ve found the right blog post.

 

With tens of millions of daily users, Google Maps is by far the leading navigation and maps platform on the web. There are many ways you could implement a map on your website. For instance, you could display the location(s) of your brick-and-mortar business so users can get directions.

A well-placed map gives users some extra help and improves the overall experience of your site, which is why Google Maps makes it pretty easy to embed its maps. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make both static maps and responsive maps, and then place them on your website.

How to Embed a Google Map in HTML

Embedding a static Google map on your website boils down to finding your address, copying the embed code, and pasting the code into your HTML. Note that these maps, while interactive, are somewhat basic.

For more complex capabilities such as directions and displaying location data, you need to access the Google Maps API.

But for a simple Google map, here’s the easiest method:

1. Go to the Google Maps website.

2. Search for the location you want to feature in your embedded map.

3. Click Share. Alternatively, you can click the three horizontal lines in the top left corner and choose Share or embed map from the menu that appears.

4. Click Embed a map to see a preview of the embed. Here, you can toggle the map area, zoom, type (street map or satellite map), and size (including a custom size if you’d like)

5. When ready to embed, click Copy HTML.

6. In your HTML file, paste the embed code where you want the map to appear on the page. The code will look something like this (it may look different depending on the size your chose for your map:

<iframe src="[your unique google URL] " width="600" height="450" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"></iframe>

7. Save the HTML file and open the file in a web browser to view the map in action.

Here’s what our example looks like embedded on a page:

At this point, the embedded map is static — it will retain a width of 600 pixels and a height of 400 pixels, no matter what device it’s displayed on or the size of the browser window.

However, this doesn’t make for the best user experience, since many visitors, especially those on mobile devices, won’t be able to see the entire map on their screen at once. They’ll need to scroll vertically and/or horizontally to view the map.

To solve this problem, we can make our embedded map responsive with a bit of extra HTML and CSS.

How to Make a Responsive Google Map in HTML

It’s widely considered a best practice to make your pages responsive, meaning all elements rearrange and change their size to fit on their screens.

The default Google Maps embed code is not responsive, but we don’t need to change much in the code to make the map scale up or down in response to the size of the viewport.

To make a responsive Google Map in HTML, take your existing embed code and place it in your HTML document. Then, wrap the <iframe> element (which represents the map) in a container <div> with the class google-map.

<div class="google-map">
     <iframe src="[your unique google URL] " width="600" height="450" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"></iframe>
</div>

Next, in your CSS, add the following code:

.google-map {
     padding-bottom: 50%;
     position: relative;
}

.google-map iframe {
     height: 100%;
     width: 100%;
     left: 0;
     top: 0;
     position: absolute;
}

Here’s the result. The map will scale proportionally to the size of your browser.

In the CSS, the padding-bottom property is what sets the height of the map. You can change the height by changing the percentage value of padding-bottom.

Embed a Google map, the easy way.

By following the above steps, even a novice site owner can place a basic or responsive Google map onto a website. They’re great for “about” or “contact” pages, and provide visitors with a bit more context about your business, meaning a greater chance of conversion.
