Why Need to Transfer the Files? Before jumping directly into “How to do it?” We’ll try to find out why some users feel the need for data transfer from iCloud to Google Drive. The prime reason is the 15GB of free storage that Google offers as compared to the 5GB provided by Apple. The wide margin between the two platforms is the possible reason why the users would want to split some of the data from the Apple cloud to Google Drive....

In the previous ESP8266 Project, we have seen how to write our own program in ESP8266 using Arduino IDE and control an LED using the GPIO Pins. In the same project, I’ve mentioned that by default, the ESP8266 ESP-01 Module comes with an AT Command Firmware. But if we write our own program to access the GPIO Pins (like we did in the previous project), the existing firmware will be completely erased and the new program will be written....

Before you purchase a CPU socket, you must purchase the microprocessor. This is because AMD microprocessors need PGA sockets and Intel microprocessors generally need LGA sockets. In this article, we will provide a detailed comparison between LGA and PGA CPU sockets so that you can assess them better and purchase a microprocessor accordingly to meet all your requirements. What Is A CPU Socket? A CPU socket is the main connector between the microprocessor and motherboard of your computer....

He stated that the charges are surrounded by a magnetic field when charges are in motion. Hence, the current carrying conductor is always surrounded by a magnetic field. If a steady or time invariant current flows through a conductor, a steady magnetic field is produced around the conductor. This steady current is nothing but a direct current (DC). Thus, a study of steady magnetic fields due to steady or direct current is called as magnetostatics....
