Meta’s Twitter rival – Threads – has gained a tremendous number of followers within just hours of its launch. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, also announced that the platform had crossed 10 million sign-ups in its first seven hours. An Instagram account is required to onboard Threads but even if we consider how wildly popular the former is, it’s still surprising to see how quickly the number of followers of the new Twitter-rival are going up.
However, there is one thing that most users probably don’t know about yet: In order to delete your Threads account, you actually need to delete your Instagram account linked to it. Yes, you read that right. If you go looking for an option to delete your Threads profile, there is a ‘Supplemental Privacy Policy,’ in which the parent company states, “You may deactivate your Threads profile at any time, but your Threads profile can only be deleted by deleting your Instagram account.”

The idea behind this is that a user’s Thread profile is a part of their Instagram account only. Needless to say, a lot of users have been surprised to learn this. For the uninitiated, Threads has been launched by Meta to rival microblogging platform Twitter. Threads has been launched in over 100 countries now and its users are going up constantly.
It can pose some serious competition to Twitter in the days to come, especially considering that more and more Instagram users are talking about Threads on their Stories too. It should be taken into account that Instagram has more than 2 billion users at this point and this would tremendously help expand Threads’ user base.
Zuckerberg posted on the new platform talking about his vision for Threads, “I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it. Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully we will.”
By garnering 10 million users in just seven hours of being launched, Threads has become the fastest growing consumer offering yet.

It is interesting to note that the launch of Threads comes at a time when Twitter has been caught in a web of its own unpopular decisions. Just days back, an announcement to restrict views for unregistered users was criticized a lot and prior to that, a move to temporarily limit the number of tweets users can view in a day had caused people to express anger as well as disappointment.
Amid all this, the launch of Threads may seem like a breath of fresh air to a lot of Twitter users unhappy with these decisions.

Music-stream app Spotify hasn’t been letting customers subscribe to its Premium membership via Apple’s in-app purchase system for over seven years now. Taking a step forward in the same direction, Spotify is now on its way to drop the support for Apple’s payment system completely.
According to a report by Variety, the streaming company has sent an email to its legacy Premium subscribers who are still using Apple’s App Store to notify them that in order to continue their services, they would have to resubscribe using an alternative payment method at the end of this billing cycle.
Read Also:Spotify officially makes its way to India, priced at Rs 119 per month
The email read, “We’re contacting you because when you joined Spotify Premium you used Apple’s billing service to subscribe. Unfortunately, we no longer accept that billing method as a form of payment. If you wish to keep your Premium subscription, you will need to re-subscribe after your last billing period has ended and your account has been moved on to the Free account.”
Spotify has also given its statement confirming that it has started informing “a small number of users that a legacy payment method, that their Premium account is attached to, is being deprecated.” The spokesperson speaking to media also added that these steps taken by Spotify will “help ensure that [it] can continue to provide a consistent best-in-class subscription experience for all our users.”
We should mention that Spotify stopped accepting Premium subscriptions via the App store in 2016 because Apple’s in-app purchases charge a commission of up to 30%. This happened just two years after the payment method was added to the streaming platform. In addition to this, customers who continued to pay via App Store were charged an extra $3 per month so that the burden of Apple’s commission fee didn’t fall on Spotify.

In 2019, Spotify also filed an antitrust complaint against Apple with the European Union, saying that the Cupertino-based tech giant’s App Store policies harmed competition. The company had taken issue for Google Play Store’s fee structure, but the two companies had found a solution that worked for both. Google and Spotify announced a pilot program in select markets where users would have the option of paying from both their payment systems. Google charges 4% less than its standard rates for these purchases.
Considering that most of Spotify’s existing users had already moved from App Store payments to other methods, the move by the streaming giant is not very likely to affect too many people.

Efficient lighting is crucial for nearly every industry, if not for aesthetics, then for safety. Retail stores rely on spotlighting and overhead lighting to provide a comfortable shopping atmosphere for their customers, while industrial workers need high-quality lights to keep darkened areas well-lit for employee safety. We’ve now had lighting for more than a century, but you might be surprised by just how many advancements have been made in recent years to enhance our illumination experience.
In This Article
Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
Traditional store and warehouse lighting like fluorescent, CFL, HID, and metal halide has been more than sufficient for many years, but there’s no denying how transformative LED lighting has been for residential and commercial building owners.
Not only can businesses and individuals enjoy far brighter lights for far longer periods, but they can also enjoy significant energy savings. According to Energy.Gov, LEDs in residential properties use 75% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than incandescent lighting. It’s also believed that energy savings from LED lighting in the United States could top 569 TWh annually by 2035. This is the equivalent of the yearly output of 92 1,000 MW power plants.
Motion Sensors
In the past, businesses wishing to enjoy motion-sensing lights had to install an independent motion sensor system. Such an addition could be costly, and many companies would much prefer to spend their money on more practical technology like computers.
However, lighting manufacturers have now answered the call for a more seamless option, which is why you can now purchase warehouse lights with motion sensors. They are available as optional add-ons or as integrated units.
Motion sensor lights turn off after inactivity and will turn on again when motion is detected. Not only are motion sensor lights convenient, but not running a light continuously might also result in energy and money savings.
Connectivity
We value connectivity in our vehicles and devices, so it was only a matter of time before lighting manufacturers would catch up with lighting connectivity. Depending on the lighting you purchase, there’s potential for it to be easy to control from a mobile device.
This gives businesses and individuals the freedom and flexibility to control lighting even when they’re not near a light switch or on the premises. Some lighting products are also customizable from a mobile device, with color changes and various modes to choose from.
Lighting Robots
Natural light is important for our bodies to produce vitamin D. It also improves our circadian rhythms and focus and makes us happier. Business owners can’t always ensure that windows are in the most appropriate places for their employees, but that doesn’t mean building occupants can’t enjoy the benefits of natural light.
In recent years, manufacturers have started producing solar-powered robots using LED technology. These robots produce natural light where it’s lacking, offering the illusion of an abundance of natural light even when it doesn’t authentically exist.
Lighting technology has come a long way, and we no longer have to put up with dim and expensive traditional lighting options like fluorescent, CFL, HID, and metal halide. Taking advantage of this innovative new lighting technology might provide your business or family with many desirable benefits like cost savings, energy efficiency, and convenience.

Instagram will soon be launching an called Threads, which will be a direct rival to microblogging platform Twitter. While the upcoming app is scheduled to launch on iOS (and hopefully Android too) on July 6th, its web interface went live for everyone to explore today. It stayed live for a few hours and gave a better understanding of what all can one expect from the upcoming app.
The parent company of Instagram, Meta later pulled the profiles on Threads down a few hours after it went live. Many brands and creators were already present on Threads including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerber, Gary Vee, Netflix, Instagram and others.
Read Also:Instagram is testing a companion app called Threads
From whatever little time Threads was live, its web interface seemed very basic. There were options to view Threads and like, comment, report and share them. Clicking on any option prompted users to download the mobile app. Also, in countries where there is no support for the upcoming app, only the option to view Threads was available. Like Twitter, Threads has a dedicated section for a profile’s main posts and another one with full reply history.
It is worth pointing out that Instagram’s head, Adam Mosseri, is obviously already present on Threads and has close to 2,500 followers. Meta’s Zuckerberg followed with a little less than 2,000 followers. From all this, it seems like the app’s early access was given to only a few thousand users till now.
While Fediverse integration will not be available at the time of launch of the new app, Instagram will be adding it soon. The profiles on Threads include an Instagram username and link along with threads.net label with a description that reads:
Soon, you’ll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, like Mastodon. They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, like @[email protected].
The upcoming launch of Threads has been teased by Instagram all week. The App Store and Google Play Store listings of Threads revealed the launch date of the app earlier this week and the main threads.net homepage has the launch countdown live on it.
Read Also:Instagram is working on live captions feature on its platform to be known as “Voice Note” for Threads app
It should be pointed out that Instagram is launching Threads at a time that is quite chaotic for its direct rival Twitter. Just last week, the microblogging website blocked unregistered users from viewing tweets and added temporary rate limits.
Even the platform for scheduling tweets, TweetDeck, completely broke down sometime back and changes had to be rolled out to sort that as well.

Imagine you have just authored an extensive research paper, and you want to make it available on your website for easy access and sharing. You’ve saved it as a PDF file, but you’re wondering if there’s a more web-friendly format that would make your content more visible and accessible.
If you’re in a similar spot, then PDF to HTML conversion is something you can really benefit from. So, can a PDF be saved as HTML at all? Absolutely! Without further ado, let’s examine the shortcomings of PDF in the web space, some reasons you should use HTML instead, and walk you through the process of turning PDF to editable HTML.
Let’s begin!
In This Article
The issues of using PDFs in the digital space
The Adobe-invented Portable File Format has long been a popular choice since it is compatible with any device, keeps the original layout and formatting of your documents intact, and is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to file archival work. However, not all is sunshine and roses when it comes to using the format in the online space.
Four issues in particular immediately stick out as soon as you decide to upload a PDF:
Hard to find online. The text within a PDF file is not as easily crawled by search engine bots, so the file might end up getting buried in the search results or not get indexed at all
Difficult to edit. Updating or editing content within a PDF file can be challenging and time-consuming without the use of specialized editing software
Large file size. PDFs and especially image-rich PDFs tend to take a lot of space, which translates to slower loading speeds for the end user
Shunned by social media. If your research paper needs to end up on Facebook, Twitter, or another social network, you’ll be out of luck since they don’t support PDFs natively
This is where HTML steps in to save the day.
What is HTML and why use it over PDF?
HyperText Markup Language, or HTML for short, is a collection of scripts that your browser is trained to read in order to display the content for the end user. While this means that your final work might not always turn out exactly the way you intended due to missing fonts or other errors, it is still the superior format when it comes to uploading content to the web.
For one, HTML documents are easier for search engines to index and access than PDFs, leading to much better visibility. HTML is also highly interactive and it’s not uncommon to see web pages with multiple clickable hyperlinks, buttons, and other elements. And of course, sharing your work on social media is as simple as copying and pasting a link (provided you’ve previously uploaded the content on some website).
The HTML format offers several other advantages as well, such as:
Optimized for SEO. HTML allows you to optimize your content with metadata, keywords, and other SEO best practices, improving its online presence
Easier content management. Editing and updating HTML content is significantly easier than working with PDF files, allowing for more efficient maintenance
Built-in responsiveness. HTML dynamically scales to fit the native resolution of your device, be it a phone, tablet, or a Mac/PC. This ensures a consistent look & feel across the board as opposed to the clunky static nature of PDFs
Faster loading times. HTML doesn’t embed images like PDFs do. Instead, it saves them in a separate folder from where the content is stored, leading to improved page loading times compared to uploading an image-rich PDF as is
When to use a PDF to HTML converter
Perhaps the main reason you may consider going down the PDF to HTML route is when you need it for web applications, such as SEO optimization or web design where a greater range of user-friendly options are required compared to what your typical PDF can offer.
With HTML, your readers will also have a much easier time navigating around the content since it supports quality-of-life features like links and quick navigation buttons.
Some scenarios where you might want to turn PDF to HTML include:
Publishing online documentation, manuals, or guides that need to be easily navigated and updated
Sharing research papers, journals, or educational resources intended for a wide audience
Making legal or government documents more accessible and user-friendly for the general public
Ensuring your content is compatible with various devices and platforms, including mobile devices and screen readers
Turning things like brochures and restaurant menus into interactive website pages that your visitors can quickly skim over instead of downloading large PDF files
How to convert PDF to HTML
There are a lot of tools on the market for you to choose from, but most of the free solutions online often don’t work properly or require you to pay upfront to use them. PDF Extra, on the other hand, is an affordable Adobe Acrobat alternative that offers you just about all the tools you need to create and edit PDFs at the office or on the go.
Laser-focused on simplicity, the app was built from the start to be used by just about anyone, regardless of their level of expertise. This extends to PDF Extra’s PDF to HTML converter, which is incredibly simple and intuitive. The resulting file will imitate your PDF’s original layout and formatting as closely as possible to save you lots of tedious HTML editing work.
Here is how to export PDF to HTML:
Download and install PDF Extra.
Run the app and click on “More” → “Convert to HTML”.
Open the file that you want to convert.
Wait for PDF Extra to export your document as HTML.
Click “Open Containing Folder” to view your new file.
That’s it – you can now easily share your research paper anywhere you want!
Final words
While PDFs will probably still have their place in the business world 50 years from now, they are not that great at turning a piece of content into an exciting and interactive read. So, if you’re looking to supercharge your digital content, think about switching from PDF to HTML. With HTML, creating and updating your content becomes a breeze, not to mention all the SEO benefits that come with it, such as improved discoverability and responsive design.
Time to make some history. Download PDF Extra for free, grab that stash of valuable PDFs, and share your insights for all the world to see!
