If your screen goes black in Windows 10 and 11, this command will save you from rebooting
Operating systems aren’t perfect, and Windows is no exception. Day by day many errors are reported, such as the inability to boot the computer with Windows 11 and also sometimes it can happen that the desktop suddenly appears black rendering the computer unusable.
This fact is characterized by the disappearance of all the icons on the desktop and the taskbar. This is because ‘Explorer’ process stops suddenly due to unexpected problem without generating any visual error. But there are ways to reverse it in a very simple way, although at first it seems that nothing can be done with the computer.
WINDOWS 10: 9 VERY USEFUL AND LITTLE-KNOWN TRICKS
A simple command that can save your computer
Although the Windows interface seems to have disappeared, the truth is that you will be able to continue using your computer. To do this you simply have to press the keys Control + Shift + Escape. The task manager will automatically open where all the processes that are running as well as the main programs that are active at that moment will be displayed.
What is interesting in this window is to press Run new task. You will see that a dialog box opens where you can enter a text next to the word “Open”. Specifically, you will have to write “Explorer.exe” and then click on Accept. At the moment, Windows Explorer should be run again and therefore the taskbar and icons will appear on the desktop. This window can also be opened pressing Windows + R.
It should be noted that this trick will only work when everything is black but if the mouse appears. In the event that nothing is visible, it is likely that the error resides in a hardware component such as the graphics card or RAM memory, and it can even be a bug in the operating system. In these cases, it is recommended to restart the device.
Another solution that can be considered if the taskbar works is to enter Start and search for the term REGEDIT, clicking on the first option found. Among all the folders that appear, follow the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon. Finally, in the list of elements on the right, you will have to click on Shell and write the word explorer.exe. From here the process will be loaded as in the previous case.

It was 100% smoke, but it caught thousands of cryptocurrency investors making up using an AI algorithm: they ended up in the hot seat
In recent years, cryptocurrencies have gained popularity not only as an alternative means of saving and payment, but also as a form of investment… and, with it, an option to obtain substantial profits. This, of course, has attracted all kinds of cyber-swindlers who have jumped on the wave of ‘crypto’.
One of the most prominent cases of this in recent times, at least in Spain, is that of arbistara cryptocurrency investment platform that promised great benefits (8%-15% per month) thanks to the use of an artificial intelligence algorithm called ‘Community Bot’.
Thus, the only condition for investors was that they could not withdraw their money in the first two months, but now we know that, during a period of just over a year (between May 2019 and September 2020), the platform only dedicated itself to defrauding more than 92 million euros from more than 32,000 investors (of which so far it has been possible to identify just over 5,000).
Curiosity: the Arbistar app is still available in the Google Play Store, although it hasn’t been updated for three years.
This is how the ‘shepherd’ was set up
Therefore, yesterday the judge of the National Court José Luis Calama prosecuted seven alleged members of Arbistar for crimes of criminal organization and massive fraud, imposing a joint and several bail of €123 million (on suspicion that the amount defrauded could greatly exceed the 92 million found so far).
However, the most notable thing about the judge’s order is that it establishes that ‘Community Bot’ never existed and that the platform only sold smoke.

80% of NFTs are fraud. Not us saying it, but the main NFT trading platform
All those unfulfillable profits were actually coming out of a classic pyramid scheme., in which part of the money from new investors was used to pay off previous investors and build trust in the system. Of course, the ‘shack’ would only work as long as the rate of entry of new investors was greater than the mass of pre-existing investors.
For a time they focused on creating a powerful acquisition network, with which they were able to generate an image of profitability and implement a referral plan in which investors received compensation for attracting new clients.
They added to this an effective presence on social networks and the holding of public promotional events in hotels and conference rooms to attract more people.
According to the judge, the undisputed leader of the plot was Santiago Fuentes Jover: he has also determined that Jover was the one who designed the fraudulent strategy and gave instructions to keep it going both to the employees of the company and to the rest of those involved.

so you can try it for free
Artificial intelligence is really versatile at the consumer level, highlighting today ChatGPT or Bard that try to save us from having to search for an answer on Google in a more laborious way. But this technology also has many other purposes, such as making very realistic creations from a simple phrase. We currently have many AIs that are capable of generating images from a sentence, and today we are also adding an AI that will generate videos from a prompt.
We are talking specifically about GEN-2, a really advanced AI video generator today that It is now available to try for free. This is hosted on the Runway page that already allowed you to generate videos with GEN-1 but from the material provided by the user himself.
GEN-2 arrives to create fantastic videos with AI
GEN-2 is presented as a multimodal AI system that generates novel videos with text, images or video clips and has different modes. The first one is the passage from text to video, although you can also find the option of generate a video from an image, stylization or convert mockups to renderings.
To be able to try this new generative AI, you do not need to pay absolutely anything. You simply have to access the Runway website and click on Try Runway Free having to register obligatorily with your own Gmail account.
Once you are in the control panel, you must press to the left on Generate videos and then in Gen-2: Text to video. Keep in mind that you have limited credits to be able to try this function, having to pay extra if you want to generate a greater number of videos.
From here, you will simply have to write in English the text that you want to appear in the video that is generated, being able to add an image on which you want the creation to be based. Once done, you simply have to click on Generate and wait to see the result in front of you.
Something important to keep in mind is that the videos they have a duration of only four seconds and that can obtain distorted results a priori. But it is a very good starting point for everything that is to come with this tool to create royalty-free resources for your own videos. In our case, we have generated a scene of a horse galloping at dawn, and the truth is that the result has been quite adequate to what was expected.

so is this filtered function
According to leaked information, Meta is analyzing the social potential of artificial intelligence chatbots. A screenshot shared by leaker Alessandro Paluzzi on Twitter shows what appears to be an introductory screen for the new Instagram feature.
It says that chatbots will be able to answer questions, give advice and help users to write messages.
It also says that users will be able to choose from “30 artificial intelligence personalities and find the one you like the most”. Another of the options seen in the filtered capture is that we could choose the best way to express ourselves and receive help to write messages.
The leaked Instagram capture reads:
Bring artificial intelligence to your chats for a more fun and engaged experience
HOW TO DEACTIVATE YOUR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT TEMPORARILY 2020
The plans announced by Meta
Goal has not announced any formal plans for such a featureand this leak is not confirmed, but it could go hand in hand with previous statements about the company’s AI ambitions.
For example, in February, Mark Zuckerberg said that Meta was “developing AI that can help people in a variety of ways” and that the company was exploring how to make bots accessible through text conversations “like chat on WhatsApp and Messenger.”
Still, it’s unclear if Meta really intends to launch these types of bots on Instagram, or what security measures it may take. What does happen is that the author of the screenshot above, Paluzzi, has a reliable track record of spotting upcoming features in the app and other social networks, so he often has good sources.
Chatbots in conversations, a difficult combination
Keep in mind that it is not the first time that AI has been used for conversations. Snap has its “My AI” bot, but, for example, it began offering unsettling advice to users, including cheering for a person who pretended to be 13 years old to have sex with her 31-year-old “boyfriend”.
In March, a Belgian man died by suicide, and his widow claimed he had been encouraged to commit suicide by a chatbot.
Last week we learned that the National Eating Disorders Association in the United States (NEDA) was removing its chatbot “Tessa” after continuous reports that artificial intelligence was offering harmful advice to its users. This bot replaced four of his workers fired.
