Removing duplicate photos on macOS - Free Software - Duplicate Cleaner X

Duplicate Cleaner X is the best among several others that I tried.

• Simple interface.
• Scan sub-folders and cross match.
• Quick scan. (2GB took only minutes)
• Auto-select for files deletion.
• Works for external HDDs.

Accessing older NAS drives that only support SMB 1.0 & USB shared memory drives - Windows 10

This has been documented to address an issue accessing a USB drive connected to the router Netcomm NF18ACV, which turned out to be related to the router only support for the old version of the SMB protocol. This protocol is disabled by default on Windows 10.

For more about the SMB (Server Message Block) and the security risks associated with enabling the protocol, the following Wikipedia page is a good start:

Easy ways to arrange home screen icons in iOS 13 need a kind look!

As of today I failed to arrange my iPhone iOS 13.3.1 through:

1- Apple Configurator 2 on top of macOS Catalina 10.15.3:

Apple Configurator has a reported bug which prevents the changes from getting actually applied to the device.

2- iTunes on top of Windows 10:
iTunes no longer displays the apps as a seperate section to manage through the application; moreover the home screen(s) are no longer displayed.

The only way to do that was manually, yes by long tapping an app from the device screen and moving it across the screens.

However, if you are a geek, you might have already figured out why the icons dance when you tap them for long; that's because you can, with another finger, drag more apps so that they can move together to another screen.
