This time last year, I would not have guessed that facemasks and UNC sanitizers would become stables on out kit in 2020. But here we are, almost made it to 2021, and while we don’t know what that year will bring, I think it’s a good idea to get technology to work for us and allow us to get more done, have more downtime, and feel less stressed.
Here is a small list of my top tech items to kick-off 2021. I have tested everything on this list under real-world conditions, and nothing has found its way on this list based on a snazzy press release. Everything featured here is the tech that I use and rely on daily.

TEHRAN- The head of Iran’s Securities and Exchange Organization (SEO) announced that the units of the second exchange-traded fund (ETF) will be traded soon if the government accepts this organization’s proposal.
“A few days ago, a proposal was submitted to the government, and if this proposal is accepted, the second ETF will start trade soon”, Hasan Qalibaf-Asl said on Sunday.
The second ETF’s director had announced in late October that the time when the fund’s units would be tradable was unclear.
Davood Razaqi said, “As two of the four refineries, whose shares are due to be offered via this fund, have increased their capital, but the capital boosting has not been considered in the ETF’s asset, the fund’s index cannot be opened yet.”
As he said, the capital boosting has occurred at Tehran Oil Refining Company and Isfahan Oil Refining Company.
In May, the Iranian government sold shares in three

Good news for gadget freaks in Europe! With the aim of making buying gadgets more convenient for consumers, encouraging fair competition and reducing e-waste the European Commission is on its way to introduce a law that will make tech giants and smartphone makers disclose their repairing details so potential buyers can know how easy or difficult it is to fix them. Not just phones, this new rule will be applicable for TVs, laptops, washing machines and lawnmowers as well.
Meanwhile, France has already become the first country to announce that it will introduce repairability scores to gadgets sold there from January 2021. France is also the only country that made Apple provide free EarPods with the latest iPhone 12 by law. Apple has cited environmental reasons to trim the size of its

The SaaS industry has democratized access to technology for businesses of every size. However, once you begin to scale your business, you’ll start to notice the pitfalls of licensing a third-party SaaS solution.
When the seams start to show, you’re faced with a decision: Is it time to stop renting your software systems and owning them instead? There’s no single right answer, but there is a decision matrix to run through.
Customization, Control And Competitive Advantage
The first question to ask is whether the business function(s) is business-critical. The more critical the function, the more you want to control the software system running it and the system’s evolution.
A small SaaS may be highly responsive to your function requirements and customizations. But the SaaS will grow, and its product development

Even before the pandemic, 6 in 10 students were not meeting expected proficiency levels in reading or math and 17% of our high school students who took the state Youth Risk Behavior Survey indicated they considered suicide. That same survey indicated 25% of high school youth were food insecure.

“I was in a state of shock,” he said. “How is this even possible?”
He testified there was no hint of his son being capable of it.
“I’ve seen no history of violence. He is, if anything, he’s always been characterized as a gentle person.”
Minassian’s father said his son had problems from a young age because of odd behaviours. He was in a special education program throughout his schooling. In some subjects, such as math, he was ahead of his peers but in other he was far behind.
Social interaction, he said, “was one of the greatest challenges he had.” He did not recognize facial expressions that reveal other’s emotional state, such

Some Apple customers who pre-ordered the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max are finding their orders have updated with shipping information advising their iPhone is on the way, but it is unlikely that many of the deliveries will actually occur before November 13.
On Friday, Apple opened up pre-orders through the online Apple Store for the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max, the last two models of the current iPhone generation to be released. The first customers to place orders can expect quicker deliveries to occur, with the earliest potentially taking place on November 13, Apple’s announced availability date for the models.
Not all customers will receive their orders on that date, as the delivery time estimates started to slip for both models shortly after it became available to purchase.
