Microsoft recently built a website that can tell you how old you look, just by uploading any photo of yourself. Now, there’s already a spin-off of Microsoft’s viral hit website — thanks to popular dating app Lulu — that will figure out “how dude” you look.

Similar to Microsoft’s site, all you need to do is upload a photo of yourself, and the #HowDudeRobot will grade your “dudeness” out of 100 and give you a hashtag description.

Since Lulu launched the site, it has gone viral and has been used by more than half a million people all over the world. The #HowDudeRobot has even graded the dudeliness of celebrities such as Kanye West (93 percent dude), Arnold Schwarzenegger (99 percent dude), and Harry Styles (66 percent dude).

If it gets your “dudeliness” terribly wrong, don’t worry — you’re not alone. When it comes to Harry Styles, the #HowDudeRobot only gave the celebrity 66 percent dude rating.

Lulu launched the site just last week. CEO Alexandra Chong told TechCrunch that the site was hacked together pretty quickly as an “homage” to Microsoft’s new site. Chong said, “it’s meant to ‘show off'” the technology that Lulu has built around gender detection and facial recognition.

While it’s fun to measure someone’s dudeliness based on a photo, Chong says Lulu might create a product that accommodates gay men and gay women in the future. The site was developed by the team at Lulu — a popular dating app available for iOS and Android that lets men upload their photos and ask girls for feedback and advice.

Unlike Microsoft’s site, Lulu’s dude-rating tool is just for fun. To join the party, go to the site, and see how dude-ly you are.

Leaving LastPass? Here’s how to take all your passwords with you

LastPass

If you, like many of us, have been happily using LastPass's excellent free tier for the last few years, you're probably dismayed that LastPass is moving to change the way its free access works. From March 16, you'll only be able to sync your LastPass database between mobile devices or computers -- but not both. So if you want to keep accessing the same passwords on your phone and laptop, you'll have to pay up and join LastPass's premium subscription for $3 a month.

Of course, not everyone is wild to pay a subscription fee -- or has the free cash to do so. If that's you, you're probably looking for a password manager to replace LastPass. But you won't want to leave all your collected passwords and logins behind. Thankfully, you can quickly and easily export your LastPass passwords and login information and import them into your new password manager of choice. So go check out our list of the best password managers, then dive into our guide on how to leave LastPass and take your passwords with you.
Export your LastPass database
Now that you know you're moving from LastPass, the first step is to make sure you take everything with you. Thankfully, exporting your database from LastPass is simple. Unfortunately, there's no way to export your passwords from the mobile app, so you'll have to use a PC or Mac to complete this action.

How to change your profile picture on YouTube

YouTube

When it comes to being a successful YouTuber, branding is very important -- the first thing that a potential subscriber should see when considering whether to watch your video is a unique, stylish image to capture their attention and get them hooked. In many ways, having a profile picture or channel icon that stands out from the crowd and gets people interested is almost as important as the content being produced. It's said that you never get a second chance at a first impression, and when it comes to an industry that operates on appearances, your profile picture needs to be on point.

Your channel's content may be top of the line, but people only get to see it if your profile picture was sufficiently compelling to get that all-important click. Popular YouTube channels often feature headshots of the principal star or stars, but you often see logos and icons as well. Note that all images for profile pictures must be no larger than 800 x 800 pixels, must be formatted as GIF, JPG, PNG, or BMP, and cannot be animated. Read on to learn more about how to change your profile picture on YouTube on your PC or mobile device.
