So well, you can consider these statistics over the past three days from Apple: Major products launched: Five (two iPads, two iMacs and one AirPods) Press releases: Three (some very interesting CEO Tweets, though!) Events: Zilch. Zero. Zonk. In fact, Apple has an event scheduled for 25th, and the announcement of these products has only increased curiosity levels about it, with speculation ranging from a video service to a gaming service to a second avatar of an iPhone....

Apart from the advantages brought by the new technology to mobile phone users, it also spurred the development of other mobile devices, such as tablets, which could now use mobile carrier networks to connect to the internet and as such gave great accessibility all over the world. It basically meant that users were no longer bound by finding Wi-Fi hotspots or relying on the outdated GPRS technology to connect. Technology, however, as anyone can confirm, has a way of not standing still and continuously evolving....

Usually, that USB limit is not so friendly. Even though conventional desktop PCs come with a sufficient number of ports for a casual user, in most cases ranging from four to six, laptops or notebooks seem to have clear disadvantages. In order to preserve space so that the end product becomes smaller and more portable, some manufacturers have come up with the brilliant idea of reducing the USB ports number to three or, in some cases, just two....

The clipboard is basically a temporary storage space where texts are stored when we copy or cut them. It is like a buffer allowing us to paste the saved texts elsewhere quickly. While the clipboard is a handy feature, it’s also quite limited. For one thing, it can only store text for an hour before it’s automatically overwritten by new text. That means you’re out of luck if you accidentally copy another text on top of the one you meant to keep....

What to know about cooling systems Type Today, the most used cooling systems are air based or water based. These offer great performance depending on how good we optimize them for our computers. Water coolers offer better heat dissipation, but they cost much more than air solutions, they are more complex to set up and need constant monitoring and occupy more space in your case. Air cooling systems They consist of fans mounted on the case of your PC and on the heatsinks of the CPU, video card and memory, they are both easier to mount and operate and are cheaper....

What is ProRAW: RAW, but with more data! At the time of the launch, Apple highlighted something called “ProRAW.” The feature did not become available until the release of iOS 14.3 recently. It only works with the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max and is not compatible with other variants. So what is ProRAW and how can one use it? ProRAW is Apple’s very own RAW photo format that is basically a mix of Apple’s computational photography and RAW format....

However, with great social network usage come the perils of compromised privacy. One of the worst fears in the first world is to lose your device, or accidentally leave your social media logged in on someone else’s device, giving someone else access to your social media. Even if you keep your device with yourself, there is still the chance of getting your social media account hacked which is a more common occurrence these days than you would think....

A possible reason for people not being able to manage their subscriptions is the tedious process involved, resulting in users spending money on subscriptions for services that they hardly use. Until very recently, things were quite simple, with as many as a few handful apps to look after for subscriptions. However, with data tariffs becoming inexpensive and the subscription-based revenue model catching up among smartphone users, we now see subscriptions for a wide variety of services like news, books, music, video, TV shows, and movies....

Despite the fact that the ability to recover deleted files isn’t something new, the solutions available in the past have not been as trustworthy and convenient, especially for the average user. But with the introduction of Microsoft’s own file recovery tool, you can now easily recover lost data without having to download any third-party software. Windows File Recovery is available for free on Microsoft Store and is compatible with laptops and desktops running Windows 10 (build 2004 or later)....

If you’re using a Windows PC, you can simply use the Print Screen key on your keyboard to take a screenshot. However, if you’re on a Mac, you don’t get a dedicated screenshot button to take screenshots directly. Instead, Apple requires you to press a combination of different keys on your keyboard to take a screen shot in macOS. We’ll go over all the macOS screenshot shortcuts in this guide and also check out the other ways to take a screenshot on a Mac....

Ethics of Cell phone tracking Tracking someone else’s phone constitutes a major invasion of privacy, no doubts about it. This is irrespective of your intention being good or bad. Think again if this is the only way out for you, before proceeding further. Idea behind Tracking Cell Phones Most cell phone tracking methods work on the premise that the cell phone often “pings” the nearest cell operator’s towers. GPS-enabled cell phones don’t require cell towers and may be located anywhere in the world by satellite triangulation in a similar manner....

With a third-party browser, users can customize their experience to suit their needs and also enjoy some features that the Chrome browser does not offer. In this article, we have described some simple steps on how you can use any browser on your Chromebook by following just a few simple steps. Let us get started.

The HTC Vive Pro is one of the costliest VR headsets available in the market. The $799 (Rs 52,000) premium headset will be shipping globally soon after the pre-order periods end on April 5. The skywards price tag of the new Vive Pro clearly indicates HTC’s plan towards capturing the emerging VR market. With Facebook backed Oculus increasing its focus towards the budget standalone VR market, it was quite natural for HTC to bank all its money on the premium segment....

The Vive Standalone will be powered by Snapdragon 835 mobile VR platform. The VR headset will neither require a PC or a smartphone and is completely wireless. HTC is also building a content rich library for China, similar to how it had done with the initial Vive VR launch. Since the Vive Standalone is powered by a dedicated VR hardware, it will give developers more freedom to tinker around with their content and users will no more have to depend on smartphones....

But of course, I held my verdict until I had the chance to fairly test it. And I thought what better opportunity to do so than taking it to Kygo’s concert. The lighting will be challenging, I won’t be as close to the subject as I would hope, the perfect shot window will be infinitesimal, and my hands will be shakier than they would normally. Clearly, it seems like a scenario for a phone camera’s worst nightmare....

Over the next few weeks, Instagram’s iOS and Android applications will be updated with a new “Start live video” button in the camera interface. The rest of the concept, although, is completely identical. The stories section will feature a “live” badge if someone is broadcasting and users can basically, watch it, add comments, hearts, and what not. However, as I mentioned before, there will be no replays which can be quite interesting....

Along with specifications upgrades, the iPhone 7 will reportedly ditch the headphone jack in favor of a slimmer body and better audio performance. On the design front, changes will be minimal such as the cleaner antenna lines. Moreover, the Plus variant is expected to sport a dual-camera setup for capturing better shots, and this time around, Apple might finally wave goodbye to the 16GB storage option making 32GB as the base variant....

Now, almost every prominent device and brand have their own tagline. And more often than not, it is forgotten within a few months of its being publicized. This one, however, stuck. So much so that even the tech media identified it strongly with the brand. Right until the OnePlus 3 in 2016, OnePlus kept using the term Flagship Killer in its communications. And although the term was less prominently used subsequently, reviewers and writers (us included), kept referring to any OnePlus phone as Flagship Killer – we used the term even to describe the 7 and 7 Pro....

To begin with, WhatsApp has now baked in a newly revamped status tab which lets users see updates from their friends. Users can post images, videos, and texts like any other social website out there. The dedicated section functions as a timeline containing recent statuses from your contacts list. Additionally, there’s a little camera section on the left which directly allows you to publish and of course, you can doodle on images which were recently added on WhatsApp....
