• Microsoft’s free course teaches the non-tech skills you missed in school

  27-09-2021 23:51 via thenextweb.com
  
  It’s no secret the tech industry often doesn’t fully represent the people it attempts to serve. Tech companies can often be homogenous, and many of those who leave the industry can end up feeling excluded by workplace cultures that don’t feel inclusive.

  27-09-2021 20:05 via thenextweb.com
  
  As Microsoft Teams exploded in popularity, I’d all but assumed Skype was dead. Heck Microsoft even built Teams right into Windows 11, aiming to make the collaboration software your go-to resource for calling friends and family as well as colleagues. The company has barely made a whisper about Skype in the past year or so. But apparently, Microsoft isn’t giving up on Skype just yet. In a blog post today, the company detailed myriad new features coming to the app, including a cleaner

• Unsurprisingly, running Facebook groups to reduce stress leaves women more stressed

  27-09-2021 16:14 via thenextweb.com
  
  Would you share your most intimate thoughts with strangers? For many women, during the pandemic and associated lockdowns, closed Facebook groups have been a place to do just that. These groups offer a chance to escape the house virtually and spend time with like-minded souls, sometimes chatting, often venting, and seeking solidarity in virtual sisterhood. Mental health issues, chronic illness, domestic violence, children’s illnesses, and issues, divorce, death, infidelity: these are just

  TLDR: The Snore Circle Anti-Snoring Sleep Aid Muscle Stimulator uses vibrations to stop snoring dead in its tracks so you — and your partner — can have a better night’s sleep. The average person snores just over 2.5 times each night, covering a total of about 22 minutes.  It’s a little less for women, a little more for men, but truthfully, no one is immune from the effects of snoring. It may not seem like a big problem…that is, until your sleep or the sleep o

• Learn how to make money from your art via NFTs with this training bundle on sale

  27-09-2021 16:00 via thenextweb.com
  
  NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are nebulous concepts. While there’s so much hype around them now, many are still confused as to what they really are and if they really hold any value. But here’s the brief, ELI5 version: an NFT is essentially a one-of-a-kind item that can’t be readily exchanged for another item within the same asset class. Even if the item is replicated, it will remain as that—a replica. An NFT can only belong to a single person or entity. Take the Charlie
