Can a neural network learn to recognize doodling? Help teach it by adding your drawings to the world’s largest doodling data set, shared publicly to help with machine learning research.
This is really fun and amazing especially when the AI recognizes your drawing in just a few seconds simply based on what it has previously learned from drawings of the same subject by other people.

Auto-update is a nice feature that we enjoy on a lot of things we use these days, but sometimes it interferes with other, more necessary, things. This was my case with Windows Update.
In an ideal world, I would always want Windows Update enabled and automatically running when I start my PC. Unfortunately in this real world of vague FUPs and poorly advertised bandwidth caps, that’s a luxury a lot of us living in the Philippines can’t easily afford.
To be specific, when Windows Update automatically runs on my system it eats up my download speed and part of my daily-capped bandwidth. Some days it just consumes all of my daily bandwidth limit causing my connection to throttle down to about 25% of the normal download and upload speed.
Simply stopping the service through Task Manager doesn’t seem to work (it keeps re-running). For someone who needs good connection to get most of the work done, that’s a problem I always try to avoid, and the same reason why I opted to take control over Windows Update.

I was having this problem for quite some time now though it really was my fault in the first place.
Everything used to work without issues except that I was annoyed by how Windows Update oftentimes eats up the limited bandwidth I have. For that reason, at one point I disabled some Windows services since simply stopping them through the Task Manager didn’t work.
Unfortunately, I did not keep record of which services were those and now that I need access to the “Updates & Security” settings to finally get those updates up on my system, I’m back on Google trying to find a solution to this auto-closing problem.
I tried a lot of possible fixes, but it seems like there’s always the one piece missing from the puzzle. It was when I stumbled on a Windows 10 Forums thread, specifically on this reply by user gonzaha, that I found the last piece.
Your brain loves consistency. It builds a worldview like we build a house. It has a foundation and a frame, and windows and doors, and it knows exactly how everything fits together.
If a new piece is introduced and it doesn’t fit, the whole house falls apart. Your brain protects you by rejecting that piece. It then builds a fence and a moat, and refuses to let in any visitors.
This is why we have the backfire effect. It’s a biological way of protecting a worldview.
If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.
Growing up, and even as a parent now, this topic still seems to be #UnpopularOpinionPuffin material.
If you want a better argument against tech use, it’s that hours spent on Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat could lead you, as a parent, to have to deal with issues surrounding body shaming, bullying or even predatory interactions with those much older, at a younger age. […] While we criticize children for focusing too much on their electronic devices, I’d argue that the real criticism should fall firmly on us, the parents.
