There are already countless chatting software (such as WhatsApp, Skype, Discord, Facebook Messenger), but almost all of them are non-free software based on central servers, and their security and privacy are not guaranteed (any chat history of you will be sold to various companies). Many of them claim to encrypt communication content, even with end-to-end encryption, but when a platform is proprietary, there is simply no way for others to verify that it is as secure and private as it promises to be. Of course, there are some really safe and reliable ones, but they are frequently blocked by governments of various countries and cannot continue (such as Signal, Telegram).

We can see visualizations of neural networks in papers and literatures, which are very exquisite. You may wonder whether they are drawn using drawing software or office software. These are too low-end and inefficient for AI researchers, who use a number of open-source projects for neural network visualization. While each of the major deep learning frameworks provides corresponding visualization templates, they are not generalizable.

PicoPDF (AKA: PicoPDF PDF Editor) is a small, easy-to-use and full-featured PDF editor for Windows and Mac platforms, developed by NCH Software from Australia. The first time you use it, you will seriously doubt whether it really works. Because for a PDF editor that only has a 1M+ file size and does not rely on any components such as .NET, it's harder to implement than a PDF reader.

Each RGB device has its own style and comes with its own dedicated control software, but they have too many drawbacks: most are Windows-only, support only their own products, are difficult to use with other RGB devices (prone to conflicts), some even require registering for an online account, need to install bloatware, take up a lot of system resources, and come with some other problems. especially, it would be a pain to synchronize your various RGB lighting settings to your liking.
