With this trick you can make your Windows 10 and 11 folders and files invisible
Windows has several methods to hide a folder on your system. In this article we wanted to mention a way of be able to make your folder invisible and access it whenever you want. In this way, you will be able to store those ‘sensitive’ files when you are sharing your computer.
The methods that we are going to teach you below are useful both when creating a new folder, and for those that you already have created. It also allows you to hide individual files, so it can be a good way to keep your privacy. under these lines we show you how to do it.
How to hide a folder in Windows 10 and 11
Hiding folders in Windows is not something new. In fact, this possibility has been around for many years, so it will also work for older operating systems. In our case, we have made use of Windows 10 and 11, since they are the versions of Microsoft that everyone uses the most today.
If you want to make a new folder you are about to create invisible, you can do it as follows:
-
Right click on the location you want to place the folder and select New > New Folder.
-
Before typing a name, use the key combination ALT+255. This will make it possible for you to create the folder without it having a name.
-
Right click on the folder and select ‘Properties’. Then you must go to Personalize > Change Icon.
-
We must select an ‘invisible’ icon, that is, one that does not present any image. There are several that you can choose from in the same default folder.
-
When you have everything configured, click on ‘Apply’ and then ‘OK’.
When you have followed the steps, you will get a totally invisible folder on the desktop, or in any location where you want. Of course, keep the location of it, since you may encounter difficulties when entering it.
If you have done all the steps and instead of getting an invisible icon a black box appears, you also have another way to hide your folder. In this case we will have to modify the view options for hidden files and folders in Windows.
To do this, you will not need to remove the name of the folder or choose an invisible icon, since all you will have to do is enter the folder properties menu again and check the ‘Hidden’ box. Here it will ask you if you want to do it only for this folder, or also for the files and subfolders it contains, so you must choose according to what you need.
Once we have made the folder hidden, it will completely disappear from the location. In the event that it has become translucent instead of invisible, you must modify the view of hidden folders and files. To do this, enter any folder you have and in the upper bar select the tab ‘View’. Then you must enter ‘options’and in the tab ‘See’ you must select the option ‘Don’t show hidden files, folders or drives’. Apply the change and click on ‘OK’.
The bad news is that for the last mentioned method, you will need to tweak the hidden files and folders option whenever you want to enter the folder. However, there is also third-party software to hide files and folders without the need to touch any Windows option. For this we can take a look at the proposals of MyLockbox or Easy File Locker.
ChatGPT artificial intelligence is undoubtedly marking a before and after in our daily lives, since numerous uses have been discovered for daily life, such as earning money. It is such that important companies have decided to bet on it with multimillion-dollar investments. Now a cryptocurrency expert wanted to put ChatGPT at a crossroads when asked if central banks could kill off cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies were born to be able to have greater financial freedom, by avoiding the influence of the central banks of each of the countries. But in the last few months We have seen how the value of the main cryptocurrencies has presented different variations. That is why an expert wanted to know the opinion of artificial intelligence about the future of crypto.

ChatGPT would bet everything for Bitcoin
Through a Twitter thread, the cryptocurrency expert Parman has published different images of a conversation he had with ChatGPT as a result of the future of cryptocurrencies. In this case, the AI affirms that of all the options that there are right now to buy in the market, There Is Only One Currency That May Have A “Real Chance To Bust The Banks” centers, and that the other way around does not happen.
You’re not going to believe this, but I just Orange Pilled #ChapGPT. It is now a Bitcoiner. See this conversation, it’s incredible. (Thread) pic.twitter.com/HJOqezmjlG
— Parman (public account) Bitcoin Pub Key Whisperer (@Parman_Public) January 26, 2023
This crypto is precisely Bitcoin that will be able to stand up to all central banks. But this is not something that can be achieved passively, rather it will require four ways: education, political action, alternatives and economic collapse. This also adds to the response about the solution that cryptocurrency would propose to the power that banks can have.
Parman in this thread has also detailed that he has asked the AI something really concise: “How can humanity end central banks?”. And the answer has been “decentralized finance”, something that can create confusion and that in a second answer He has pointed out “the end of fiat currencies”.
This precisely means that finances that include the euro or the dollar must be ended since they are not backed by gold and silver. In this way, for ChatGPT The cryptocurrency in which all trust must be placed is Bitcoin and not all those that exist today that in the end are born and die.

The latest Discord update is slowing down Nvidia graphics cards: there is already a partial solution
The Discord communication application has become essential on many computers and mobile phones to be able to call friends in a leisure environment, but also work. This tool has numerous advantages by facilitating much more fluid communication than that offered by Skype, but also by creating channels for different communities.
And although it may seem that everything is good, the truth is that Discord it also has problems that are serious. One of them is related to Nvidia graphics cards and a recent update that is causing a slowdown of the computer hardware.
The latest Discord update did more harm than good
The fact that we are talking about an application that is focused on gamers and has a bug that directly affects one of the components most required by this group, such as graphics, is undoubtedly paradoxical. But the truth is that it has been seen that this bug is affecting some Nvidia modelswhich includes the RTX 3080 and the RTX 3060 Ti.
This bug makes it impossible to get the most out of the GPU by slowing down the memory clock up to 200 MHz. At first it was the users themselves who reported the error through Reddit and also in the Linus Tech Tips forum. Faced with this wave of criticism, Nvidia has acknowledged the problem and has given details about its evolution.
This information has been given through a support article on the Nvidia website in which it is specified that if this type of slowdown is noticed, it will be possible to download a GeForce 3D profile manager and apply the fix. In the event that you prefer to wait, you will be able to choose to be patient and download the driver update that is being prepared.

We have tested the GeForce NOW service with RTX 4080 and it is a punch from NVIDIA on the table
Discord released this update to allow AV1 streaming with RTX 40 series cards on 4K quality and 60 FPS with Discord Nitro. But in the end this improvement has ended up causing the graphics of the previous generation to fail in this way.

This AI that allows you to clone your voice (and anyone else’s) is filling the Internet with celebrities saying stupid things: this is how you can use it
An AI that allows anyone, and in a matter of seconds, to clone the voice of any other person (or, of course, oneself) is beginning to take the Internet by storm. The controversial but popular 4chan forum, without going any further, has been flooded with Audio deepfakes of celebrities like Emma Watson or Joe Rogan filled with violent or pornographic comments.
And all since, this past weekend, access was opened publicly to the ElevenLabs platform, perhaps one of the most significant examples of how far AI-based Technologys dedicated to audio cloning and synthesis have advanced.
Apart from the undeniable realism of its voice synthesis (light years away from canned voices like Loquendo, so popular years ago), the company itself boasts that the audio clips it generates require little or no editingwhich encourages its use in tasks such as dubbing or audiobook production:

When video deepfakes emerged, we all thought that an era of massive misinformation was inaugurated… and in the end its main application was the generation of porn. It remains to be seen what will happen to their audio equivalents

Somebody put order here
Of course, the fact that it does not present none of the safeguards we are used to finding in imaging services to avoid creating certain types of content ‘sensitive’ and/or based on real people.
In a thread posted on Twitter last Monday, ElevenLabs recognized that some of its users were abusing its application: “[observamos] a growing number of cases of misuse of voice cloning”, and warned that they are able to “trace any generated audio back to the user”.
Crazy weekend – thank you to everyone for trying out our Beta platform. While we see our tech being overwhelmingly applied to positive use, we also see an increasing number of voice cloning misuse cases. We want to reach out to Twitter community for thoughts and feedback!
— ElevenLabs (@elevenlabsio) January 30, 2023
Likewise, it has put on the table the possibility of implementing protections such as the User identity verification or manual approval of each request voice cloning. However, its use remains unlimited for now.
we have tried it
When we register for free on the platform, we are granted access to a series of tools. First of all, we will find the simple voice synthesizer that allows us to convert texts to sound files using, in principle, predefined voices in American English.
However, if we make use of the ‘Voice Cloning’ function, we can upload audio with a voice recording to the platform (“it must last more than 1 minute and not contain background noise”, clarifies the website), which will allow us to create a personalized voice from which we can return to the synthesizer and create an audio based on our voice… or anyone else’s.
Voice Cloning Step 1
Step 2
That yes: the service is, for now, optimized for the American English accent; so it is possible that, when generating the audio, you do not finish recognizing yourself in the resulting file.
The classics never die. Although it sounds horrible in American, let me tell you.
That has been our case, after generating a personalized voice based on that of a server: reading Don Quixote in a perfect Kansas accent (up state, down state) has not finished sounding ‘very me’, but US users claim not to suffer from this problem.
The free account only allows create up to five custom voices and synthesize to audio 10,000 characters of text per monthIn addition, the resulting audios are subject to a non-commercial license. There are, from there, several payment options, the cheapest being $22 per month.
