Opera today launched version 50 of its desktop browser. Sadly, this release doesn’t come with a cake to celebrate this milestone (not even a tiny cupcake), but the newest release does include a new feature that makes sure that nobody can mine crytocurrencies in your browser.
In Opera, this new cryptojacking feature is automatically enabled when you turn on the browser’s ad blocking tool.

Google’s I/O conference concluded last week, and if there’s one thing people will be talking about long after it’s over it’s Google Lens.
Google Lens is a technology that integrates Google’s search engine with a smartphone’s camera. By taking a photo with Google Lens your camera will be able to recognize objects and search for them on the web.
It goes deeper than that though, as CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote went on some further examples were shown.

Hackpad is shutting down and the scheduled deadline is July 19, 2017.
For this reason, do not forget to download and save locally (in HTML, Markdown, Plaintext, or SQL) all the files you created during last years or to accept their offer to migrate to the new dropbox paper.
The migration procedure is simple. You have to create a Dropbox account (if you have not one yet and you have not enough time you can create a Dropbox account using your Google credentials) and go to paper.dropbox.com/hackpad.
Now you have to login to your Dropbox account, select the import feature and you will redirect to Hipad window where you will be asked to login.
At this point you visualize all your Hackpad collections and you can migrate them to 
Dropbox Paper. Unfortunately you cannot select all your collection at the same time but you have to select them one by one. But, if you have a good Internet connection and not many files, the migration needs just few minutes.
