Adjust Color Temperature of Your Screen Using Terminal

There is a utility called “ xsct ” or screen color temperature for Debian-based systems which is super lightweight to install and very easy to use. Open up a terminal and install it using below. sudo apt install sct Once installed, you can start using it anytime with just a command. Even you can use it for your shell script as well. Syntax sct [temperature]   What is Color Temperature As per Wikipedia – “ Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, horticulture, and other fields” . It has a value range from 1000k to 10000k (k = unit in Kelvin) which controls the display brightness. In layman’s term, the default color temperature value of your monitor is 6500k.

  AirDrop & why it would be amazing for cross-platform Apple’s AirDrop is known to be one of the best data transfer services. It allows its users to quickly transfer files between devices while also providing a high level of security. However, it’s not available on any other platform, except for iOS and macOS. This means that if you want to transfer files and use AirDrop on Windows, you need to use SnapDrop. SnapDrop is a super-easy way to send files or data between your devices, and it works with anything, from PDF files to photos and videos. All you need to do is open it in your browser and then look for a device to exchange files with. It’s a great app, developed using some of the best security protocols. On top of that, it’s open-source, so developers are continuously improving it. If you want to transfer files between your devices successfully, you need them both connected to the same local network – for your safety, only use secure and password-protected Wi-Fi.
