Visual Audio Splitter & Joiner (formerly called Visual MP3 Splitter & Joiner) offers a convenient solution for splitting large audio files into smaller segments and merging multiple smaller parts into a single, larger file. It is useful for musicians, DJs, and anyone looking to customize their audio files, or to create custom ringtones.

SSD drives have become the mainstream information carrier, and the biggest problem with solid-state storage is the limited number of reads and writes. Therefore, the correct configuration of some relevant parameters and functions in the system can significantly extend the service life of the SSD. Due to the special nature of SSD drives, it is basically impossible for the average user to optimize and set up the SSD correctly, so it is generally necessary to use some third-party tools to do this.

To protect the security of files/data, I have always found it preferable to hide and/or set an access password for a partition rather than to encrypt the partition or an entire hard disk. The reasons are: 1) The performance and efficiency of reading/writing encrypted files are extremely low; 2) As far as I know, although an encrypted file is hard to crack, it is the most likely to happen and the most deadly for users to forget their encryption key - there is no solution at all; 3) In fact, even if you just hide one partition without password protection, few people would expect you to protect your private data in this way.

EarthView is a fairly cool dynamic desktop background/wallpaper + screensaver program that only takes earth as its theme, developed by DeskSoft from Austria. It gives us a direct bird's-eye view of the earth from outer space on desktop, and shows the shift of day and night (i.e. the daylight zone and dark area at night) and the atmospheric cloud changes in a dynamic way, which can give users a stunning visual experience.
