Science/Technology / How To Schedule Tweets And Save Drafts On Twitter’s Web App by brainbox2014(m): 3:03pm On May 29, 2020
Users can now schedule tweets using the main Twitter Web app. The tool enables users to create a tweet and then schedule a time and date for it to be posted. Users can also schedule tweets for up to a year in advance.

The microblogging site had experimented with the schedule tweet feature back in November 2019. However, most users needed to log in using Tweetdeck or other third-party services that supported the feature in order to use the service as it wasn’t available to everyone.

To schedule tweets:
— Type in the tweet

— Tap on the calendar tab at the bottom just beside the smiley tab

— Set a date and time for the tweet to be sent out


Twitter also posted a video demonstration of the feature.

Twitter users can also now save drafts on the web app. However, the drafts can only sync and be accessible in other web sessions and not the app.



According to Twitter; “Right now, Tweet drafts saved on desktop or mobile web will be accessible via desktop or mobile web only.”

To save drafts on the web app:
—Type in the tweet

— Try to cancel the tweet and then choose the option to save to drafts


Users can also schedule tweets from their drafts by pulling them up, completing the tweet, and scheduling.

Health / Pre-order Philips’ Respironics E30, A Special COVID-19 Ventilator That Costs 75% by brainbox2014(m): 11:37pm On May 24, 2020
The rise in COVID-19 cases in Nigeria and other parts of the globe have made ventilators a much sought-after equipment. However, the average cost of a standard ventilator is often prohibitive and out of the reach of many public health care systems. Nevertheless, renowned Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Philips has designed the Respironics E30, a ventilator which offers efficient utility and which costs 75 per cent less than other variants in the market.

Here is everything you need to know about this cost-effective ventilator.

First, ventilators just like the Philips Respironics E30 are authorised for use in the treatment of patients who have breathing difficulties. Breathing disorders and respiratory insufficiency are leading symptoms of a critical COVID-19 case. Thus, while testing and social distancing are effective ways to prevent infections; ventilators are important in treating people who have already begun manifesting symptoms after infection.

The world as a whole had not foreseen a pandemic of this scale. Thus, there have been shortages of essential equipment such as ventilators in the health sector. Indeed, healthcare workers are overworked, hospitals are overcrowded and ventilators are in short supply. In addition to this, these ventilators are usually expensive.

That is, until now.

Philips' response to the current crisis is to come up with not just ventilators but effective ones that are much cheaper than those already in use. The Respironics E30 is a useful alternative, especially when more expensive, fully equipped models are not available.

The Respironics E30 is easy to use and setting it up requires simple procedures. Thus, almost all healthcare workers can install it for patients' use. Also, it protects healthcare providers from the risk of infection because it comes with bacterial/viral filters. Furthermore, the Respironics E30 supplies high levels of ‘inspired oxygen’ too. And, it comes with on-screen respiratory monitoring features that show pressure, tidal volume, RR, Minute Ventilation, leak, and other useful details. There are alarms for notifications too.

Equally important, Philips worked with a group of engineers versed in respiratory care to develop this device. The foregoing ensured the production of a ventilator which ticks all the right boxes. The ventilator is provided under the Emergency Use Authorization issued by the US Food and Drugs Adminstration (FDA) concerning ventilator tubing connectors and ventilator accessories.


For Nigeria, the Philips Respironics E30 is truly good news. It means that more people who need ventilators can afford it at a cheaper rate.

As a matter of fact, you can pre-order yours right away from TD Africa, Africa’s leading technology distributor. To take advantage of this excellent offer, please contact +234 809 049 0778 to be among the first to get your hands on these amazing, cost-effective ventilators.

Hello guys,

We have been on lockdown for some weeks now, because of this evil pandemic ravagin' the world not just nigeria only,

My questions are:

1) If this lockdown should continue, how are schools going to open since we don't have an online system?

2) Will this not lead to a massive dropout from schools, due to poverty, insecurity and unseriousness?

3) All the parent in the house, how have you made sure your child is academically active despite not going to school?

4) Do you think this lockdown is the best and only solution?

Nigerians share your view.

Foreign Affairs / Iran Hack U.S. Government Website In First Cyber Attack Launch by brainbox2014(m): 10:49am On Jan 05, 2020
Iran’s group of hackers take responsibility for hacking a U.S. government website in their first cyber attack two days after their military chief’s death. The website holds Federal publications that the public can access for free.



In what looks like the first of a series of Iran cyber attacks, a U.S. website suffered a hack. Although there is no official confirmation from the White House yet, it appears to be the case.



The attack comes a few hours after Donald Trump, president of the United States made further threats against Iran. In the wake of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, Iran had issued an official statement about avenging his death.

Iranian authorities had said it was not a matter of if but when. The slain military leader who is to be buried on Tuesday was viewed as a martyr. However, Trump did not take the threat lying down. Despite having a largely divided country because of his overall attitude, he took to Twitter to make a counter-threat.

He tweeted....

Technology Market / Netflix Faces Tax Evasion Investigation In Italy by brainbox2014(m): 9:07pm On Oct 04, 2019
Netflix said it was cooperating with a probe into whether it evaded taxes in Italy. The company will do this even though it has no office or employees in that country.

The crux of the matter appeared to be whether server units used to help handle the streaming load for the California-based firm were enough to designate it as having permanent status in Italy in the eyes of local tax collectors.

Netflix provides the boxed computers to internet service providers in Italy. The computers are about the size of small desks. It helps to reduce the pressure that heavy video data streaming can put on their networks.


“Netflix has been working closely with the Italian tax authorities,” a spokeswoman told AFP. “We pay all the taxes due in Italy and other countries around the world.”

Netflix, which considers itself an entertainment company rather than a technology company, said it invests millions of euros in Italian productions.

Netflix, which landed in Italy in 2015, had some 1.4 million subscribers there last year, according to the Comparitech technology site.


AFP was not able to confirm the investigation immediately with financial police or Milan’s public prosecutor’s office.


Prosecutors in the northern Italian city have led several major tax investigations against US web giants. These investigations allow the Italian government to recover millions of euros.


Last year, Facebook agreed to pay Italy more than 100 million euros ($110 million) after just such a probe.



Online retail giant Amazon forked out over 100 million euros in 2017, while Google paid 306 million euros. They followed Apple, which in 2015 handed over more than 300 million euros.
