| Although there aren’t many of them, there are tribes of people around the world (such as those found deep in the Amazon forest) that are considered “anumeric”. They don’t have words for numeric concepts beyond things like “one”, “a few”, or “some” and, as a result, they struggle to differentiate and recall quantities as low as four.  | |

How to Find Old Versions of Your Favorite Desktop Programs 
Have you ever used one of your favorite programs on your desktop, only to find that in later updates, that program changes in ways you don’t particularly appreciate? It’s a common phenomenon: a single program, like a chat client, might break with your specific computer setup after a recent update. It’s easier (and less disruptive to your workflow) to switch to an older version of the program until the problem is resolved. | |
How to Create a Facebook Group 
Facebook Groups are a great way for people with a common interest or who are members of the same club, society, or community to communicate. I'm in Groups for hobbies like Photography, but also for local things like the village I live in. | |
How to Get Free eBooks In Exchange for Online Reviews 
There’s a not-very-well-kept secret in the online book world: reviews are extremely valuable. The good news is that it’s easy to get started reviewing books, especially if you’re willing to do so for the new crop of independently-published authors.

The Echo Dot is a great device, but Anker’s Eufy Genie ($35) aims to dethrone it with the same Alexa-based system and a $15 cheaper price tag (even more when it’s on sale). But is it worth saving a few bucks to get a third-party Echo device in the first place? | |
How to Search Your Amazon Order History 
You order so much stuff from Amazon, it’s tough to keep track of it all. If you need to go back through your history to find something you’ve ordered before, you can scroll through pages and pages of items you’ve bought, but that’s tedious. Instead, use the order search history. | |
How to Enable or Disable Notification Dots in Android 8.0 Oreo 
Google brought a handful of changes in Android Oreo, both big and small. Among the smaller, yet welcome additions to the operating system is something the company calls Notification Dots. Essentially, these are small markers on home screen icons that let you know when an app has a notification. | |
What's the Difference Between a Facebook Profile, Page, and Group? 
Facebook is used by a lot of different people for a lot of different things, so it's only natural that Facebook would have different sets of features for each of them. There are three main ways you can use Facebook: with a regular Profile, as a Page, or as a Group admin. Let's look at what each is for. | |
App Subscriptions Are a Good Thing 
I get attached to the apps I use. I do all my photo editing in Photoshop and Lightroom, I use Airmail for email, I listen to music with Spotify, I read feeds with Inoreader and Reeder, I Tweet using Tweetbot, and most importantly, for writing I use Ulysses. | |
