Installing an operating system via USB drive is one of the most popular methods today, which makes it essential to understand how to configure a computer to boot from a USB device. Most modern computers allow users to select a USB boot option directly using a boot menu shortcut key. In addition to that, USB boot can also be configured through the BIOS settings. It's important to be familiar with both methods.

The Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System, or RTK GPS, is a big step forward in GPS technology. It offers centimeter-level accuracy, which is key for precise work in fields like agriculture, surveying, and for self-driving cars. Unlike regular GPS, which can be off by meters or more, RTK GPS is super accurate. It uses a network of fixed stations to fix its position in real-time.
