  Ever wanted to learn Python? While, stay here! TechyTommy Programming is coming soon! All you need to do is go to TechyTommy (if you want, get TechyTommy through your email using TechyTommy Email ), and look for TechyTommy Programming! (And when you get to TechyTommy Email, click on Join Group.)

Now, you need to keep track of tens, hundreds, or even thousands of passwords! You can reuse the same password, but what if you want to have an even bigger password or be more secure? While, you can use a password manager! But, isn't that more insecure? You just have a big program/extension that you can open up, and it can be opened by anyone? While, if you don't have a computer password, set it now. But then, you can set up a password for your password manager! When you open it, it asks for a password. Once you type it in, your passwords are there! There are 2 ways that password managers can work. First, a password manager can type in passwords for you. The second way is filling them in. And a password manager can generate THIS good of a password! 7Au2bi7enA@'32=DHOv2em~Jp:#<AlhsMtcoc<,b//(C/6EhHtMYj~^:]0_cYL3+~6_B`GUL9G;]>JYGW86_Or1paU+HBvOr!Fdy So, should you use a password manager? While, how easy is it for you to track passwords? While, you can choose that. Bu...

Now, I usually don't talk about meeting programs here. But, I was able to try out Google Meet and Zoom! Remember about NetMeeting from my virtual learning blog post? While, I was able to run the Windows XP version in a Windows XP virtual machine (not my real computer), but I could not test it. And here is a Google Meet picture! So, to the comparison. Now,  the interface of Google Meet looks a lot better! But, the virtual background is not very good. It cuts my hair off! But, when it comes to integration with the operating system, Zoom is better. And the closed captions feature is not the most accurate.  What I said: This is a test of the Google Meet closed captions. What it think I said: This isn't Just the Girl Meet closed captions. But a couple hours after I wrote this, I learned about a new meeting program. Google Duo! Now, Google Duo is more like a phone call except for video than a meeting program. But weirdly, Google Duo is more like Microsoft NetMeeting. In NetMeeting, ...

  I have a new swimming blog called SwimmingTommy! Check it out at swimmingtommy3.blogspot.com .

So for my birthday, I got a new tablet. That tablet is the Fire Tablet! Specifically, the Fire Tablet 10 (2019). So, the Fire Tablet is an Android tablet with a custom version of Android installed called Fire OS. Fire OS is basically Android with a custom launcher and the Amazon App Store! So, because of that, you can install Google Play onto it! And I use it almost everyday to read. The Fire Tablet comes with the Kindle app built in, so all your Kindle books can be delivered over as soon as you are done setting it up. Plus, you can even install Epic onto your Fire Tablet! And you can get Kindle books from the library! Just install the Libby app and choose that you read books through Kindle, and then you can deliver library books from your Fire Tablet to your Fire Tablet! This also works on all Kindle devices (Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, iPad, your Windows laptop, MacBooks, and more). Now, I don't know how expensive the Fire Tablet is right now. But as a Fire Tablet and Androi...

Now, if you have read lots of blogs, you probably saw this icon at least once. And if you click that icon, you might have seen a website that starts with feedburner.com. First, that icon is for RSS. RSS is a format that contains all the posts from that blog. This is a snippet what my blog in RSS looks like.  ef =" http://feeds.feedburner.com/techytommy " /> <feedburner:info uri =" techytommy " /> <atom10:link xmlns:atom10 =" http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom " rel =" hub " href =" http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/ " /> <entry> <id> tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878542713109000453.post-7479948654457705158 </id> <published> 2021-07-06T06:59:00.002-05:00 </published> <updated> 2021-07-06T07:11:56.342-05:00 </updated> <category scheme =" http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# " term =" Coding " /> <category scheme =" http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# " term ="...

  Now, you may want to connect your devices to each other. Like your smart home to your email to get an email when it is turned on and off! So, before you build a new app, there is already an app for what you want to do. That app is called IFTTT! So, to get started, go to IFTTT and create an account. And then, create a new applet! Now, select what you want to trigger your applet. You could use an Alexa command, sending an email, or even creating a new Google Contact! Now, you need to choose what happens. You could send a notification to your iPad or Fire Tablet, create a new Google Contact, or even create a Google Calendar event! This is the example I will do. Now, before you can use some services (like Alexa and Contacts), you need to link your account. Just log in and allow IFTTT to access your account! After you are done choosing your options, click on Continue. You can receive notifications when it runs. After that, click on Finish. Your applet is now ready! Now, ther...

  I recently got an alert saying that FeedBurner Email is discontinued because TechyTommy uses the Follow by Email widget. You may not get email notifications for new blog posts while I transfer everybody to an IFTTT solution.

  So recently I got a new computer. So what are the differences? While, this laptop is a Windows laptop, which is new for me. This computer is an Acer Spin convertible, specifically an Acer Spin 3. One thing that this laptop has compared to my previous Chromebooks is that it has a Caps Lock key. So what is in this laptop? This has an Intel Iris Plus graphics card paired with an Intel Core i5 10th Gen processor, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM (memory) and 512 gigabytes of storage. WAY more than I need. So should you get it? Yes. Now, when should you get it? Your choice. You can get it now, or get it when it is not an outside vendor. And I forgot to say, it comes with a stylus. So how many stars do I rate it? 5 stars. And there is also a backlit keyboard, but you can turn that on or off with the F8 key. And you will need to turn it on to turn it off. But overall, the Acer Spin 3 is a good laptop. I recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a good Windows laptop. To actu...

So, I am going to create my VERY first 2 Android apps.  If you want to see anything that I post about Android, go into the side menu, click on the "Labels" section, then "android". And, if you want to make YOUR very own Android apps, go to  https://developer.android.com/studio , then download Android Studio. (Note: You can not download Android Studio to an iPad, not even an Android device.) And, you do not need anything Android. They have an Android Emulator! I do not have Android Studio downloaded at the time I posted this blog post, but I will have it downloaded and installed when I publish the blog post called "My First Android App". And, if you need help installing Android Studio (you may not be able to on a school computer), go online to the "User Guide" section of the Android Studio/Developers website. The version of Android Studio when I posted this is 4.0, but it is not going to be 4.0 forever, and comment below if you have an app you wan...

So, I just made a game on Bloxels. What is it called? The Turtle Game. When you click on the game (if you want, copy and paste this code into the Arcade to play it: 45871272), you should see this screen. If you click on play, tap the screen (or space bar) and play! So, you can play it also by searching "turtle".

So, I am having lots of fun on Bloxels. You can make your own video games, play videos games, and lot's more. I usually make video games, but sometimes I play them to get used to my keyboard (I play it on a Chromebook, not an iPad). This is what the Bloxels logo looks like. So, you have to pay $19.99 if you want it, but playing the video games are free. If you like Bloxels you can get a T-shirt! Now, as soon as I started, I had lots of fun! No matter if you have an iPad, iPhone, Android tablet, Chromebook, Chromebox, or even a Windows 10 computer, you can use Bloxels! According to my email, the time I started building on Bloxels is at April 4, 2020 at 10:16 AM (central time). You need an email to use to sign up, and most 2nd graders don't but most 2nd graders parents do! Your projects sync in the cloud (not up in the sky) and you can publish your video games! Need tutorials? There are plenty to watch!  But, you will need Wi-Fi! You have it if you're reading this right...

So, you may want a template for something like a true or false game. In Google Slides, you can add a template. So let's open it. Then you can add a theme to add to. So let's add a name. Now what are we waiting for? Let's go to that Slide menu. Press "Edit master" to start making templates. Now, right click and choose "New layout". Now, rename it, and make the template. Edit it the same way you do. (If you want text to be editable, do "Body text placeholder". You can delete that title if you want to.) See my template here. When you're done editing, press the x to close.   Happy template making!

So November 12th, Disney+ came out and it's the best! It lets me watch Puppy Dog Pals without cable. And you can get Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ with one subscription. And a few weeks ago I made the Library Pillows movie. So it's a good time for Disney+. Get it now. Try it at disneyplus.com . Homepage P.S. If you are a Chromebook user you will need to use the app.

A web page is a place people visit on the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is part of the Internet. A website is a group of connected web pages." "Web pages are fun to explore.
