This is the second part of a two-part series covering some real-life use cases of the Lightning Network.

"The Lightning Network" enables a global payment system that works instantaneously and for little or no cost. With this new technology and infrastructure, we finally have a working method of dealing with micropayments, which are payments of a fraction of a cent that can be sent anywhere around the globe using just the internet and a mobile device. And for the first time, we can even stream money in real time to pay for services as we use them.

In this second part, Don focuses on both trivial and world-changing examples of the Lightning Network in action.

Tax season can be stressful and time-consuming for individuals and business owners alike, so it's good to have a tool that can relieve some of that burden. Receipts for macOS (included in Setapp) is one such software package. In this video, Lee shows you how to import your receipts and invoices, both manually and automatically, using a variety of techniques. He also goes over Receipts' text recognition ability, allowing information to be pulled from your imports. You also discover how to create detailed reports and export your receipts, making the end-of-the-year chore of preparing for taxes much smoother.

In this video, Lee completes his 3-part deep dive into Numbers for Mac. If the idea of using charts to represent your data has seemed a little daunting in the past, this is the video for you. The first half is dedicated solely to charts, looking at the different types you can set up and the use cases behind them, as well as formatting them so they look their best. Lee also shows you how to find information on complex functions, and wraps up with additional features not covered in the previous two videos.

In the second video in this three-part series on Numbers for Mac, Lee focuses on organising the data contained in your various tables. When working on particularly complex spreadsheets, with many rows of data, finding the information you need can be tricky. In this video, you learn how to sort, filter and categorise your information so that you only see what is relevant. Lee also walks you through conditional formatting down to an individual cell and demonstrates how it can help you visually.

Every now and then, we like to take an application and perform a deep dive over a series of videos. When looking for potential candidates, Numbers was very clearly a favourite. In the first of a three-part series focusing on the Mac version, Lee walks you through the basics of how to set up a table, and goes over some simple table and cell-level styling to make your documents look their best.. You also have a first look at formulas and how Numbers handles them.
