But unlike last year’s Marvel’s Avengers and the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy game from Square-Enix, this crime-fighting adventure is a mobile exclusive. This means fans won’t be powering up their PCs, PlayStations, or Xbox consoles, but will instead be saving the world on their smartphones. While it’s played on iOS and Android devices, Future Revolution isn’t necessarily smaller or less ambitious than the big-budget games we’re used to enjoying from behind a controller....

Whether you’re a veteran ship captain or a greenhorn, starting today all World of Warships players on any server can receive a free Premium account upgrade for a full week (normally $4.99) during the Plunder Dash event. But it’s opt-in, not automatic, so you’ll need to manually claim it before you’ll see the benefits.

How to Launch the Display Calibrator Assistant The easiest way to launch the Display Calibrator Assistant is to use the Display preference pane. About Your Color Profile If you already have a color profile in use on your monitor, it is listed and highlighted under Display profile. If Apple doesn’t make your current display, a generic profile has probably been assigned to it, but it is a good idea to check the monitor manufacturer’s website to see whether it has an ICC profile you can download....

How Does Wireless Charging Work? Wireless charging technology is also referred to as inductive charging. A base station generates an electric field, which transfers energy to a compatible device via inductive coupling. This type of charging is less efficient than charging systems that use conductive couplings, but because you don’t have to plug them in, wireless chargers are easy and incredibly convenient to use. Instead of plugging in a charger, set your phone or another compatible device on the wireless charging base station, and the device automatically starts to charge....

The streamer has become a tour de force in the Simmer community, fans of the popular life simulator The Sims, and she has made no qualms about bending the gaming world to her inclusive vision. “I didn’t even know about the gaming space online. I discovered everybody when I started [streaming] and started Googling. I was wondering where are the Black creators? Where are the Black women,” she said in a phone interview with Lifewire....

The scarcity of many new high-end PC components left me with few options to get my hands on new hardware, that is unless I went all out and bought a brand-new top-of-the-line gaming PC. The build I picked out from iBuypower spares virtually no expense, using bleeding-edge hardware that would turn most gamers green with envy. This includes an RTX 3090 GPU from Gigabyte and an AMD 5900X CPU. Some other bells and whistles include a liquid cooler from NZXT and Corsair RGB fans....

Speaker Whine From Alternators One common cause of speaker whine comes from the vehicle’s alternator. If the noise changes in pitch or intensity when the engine RPM changes, it’s probably some type of engine noise, and interference from the alternator output is a likely source. The issue is that noise from the alternator is getting into the head unit via the power cables. You can deal with the problem in one of two ways:...

Ikea’s new Ikea’s Obegränsad collection consists of a very uncomfortable-looking armchair, a desk for musicians, and a cool, boxy-looking record player. Of these, the Obegränsad record player is the most interesting—it’s not as if anyone will be surprised that Ikea is selling another table and chair, after all. But is this a sign that vinyl’s return is now fully mainstream? Or is this another one of Ikea’s decorative accessories, not worth buying for the sound?...

Recent changes at Instagram show a significant shift away from a simple photo-sharing site. In reality, Instagram has been about a lot more than just duck-face selfies and breakfast photos for years now. Fashion pros use it to communicate, brands use it to sell, and influencers use it to make a living. But now, Instagram seems to be consolidating these changes and admitting the truth. “Thinking of Instagram as a place where you can post photos is one thing; but thinking of it as a powerful algorithm that feeds on your data and is smart and subtle enough to influence your behavior is something entirely different,” Mark Coster of education tech site Stem Geek told Lifewire via email....

Harassment is a problem that most social media platforms have been trying to find the answer to for quite some time, and Instagram is still working on it. Efforts have been made in the past, to be sure, but combating online abuse is an ongoing and constant process—which is why Instagram’s tools are expanding. In the past, you could block a troublesome account, as well as tell Instagram to auto-block any additional accounts that users may create....

Even an easy project goes better with a little advance planning, though. Make the installation go quickly and smoothly by preparing your work area ahead of time. One or more hard drives. The drive(s) should conform to either SATA 1, SATA 2 or SATA 3 specifications. SATA is a common type of hard drive, so it should be easy to locate and purchase one, either locally or online. A screwdriver, preferably a Phillips #1, although in a pinch, a #2 will also work....

This is the latest version of these drivers and should work with most newer Intel-based motherboards. See What Version of This Driver Do I Have Installed? if you’re not sure which Intel Chipset driver version you have installed. Changes in Intel Chipset Drivers v10.1 This update resolves an issue related to an incorrect version number, plus adds support for a few new devices.

Last year, Apple’s then-new M1 Macs shipped with macOS Big Sur, but there’s a solid argument to be made that Monterey is the first version of macOS that exploits Apple’s chips. While the update is welcome whichever Mac you’re using, you’ll only get the coolest new features if you’re running an Apple Silicon Mac. So why has Apple left Intel users out? The short answer is that those machines aren’t up to the task....

iOS 15 brings two new ways to recover your Apple account if you’re locked out. Or one unique way and one improved way. Creating a recovery key is now much easier than before, and you can designate a friend or family member as a Recovery Contact, kind of like leaving a spare key with a neighbor. This is great if you get locked out, but it adds another vector for attack....

Widgets allow a kind of ambient data to hang around on your phone. Similar to how you glance at a watch or a clock to check the time, you will soon be able to glance at your iPhone’s lock screen to see—well, to see whatever widgets you have chosen to place there. This could be a great way to avoid the distractions of your phone’s other apps, or it could end up making you even more distracted....

The iPhone 5 is an example of Apple’s pattern of introducing major new features on phones with full model numbers. For instance, the iPhone 4 and 4S both use essentially the same design, while it’s immediately clear that the iPhone 5 is different from those models. iPhone 5 Hardware Features The most significant new hardware features of the iPhone 5 are: A 4-inch Retina Display screen with a 1136 x 640 resolution....

You can still do all of those things on the iPhone X, but how you do them is different now. Pressing a button has been replaced by a set of gestures that trigger those familiar functions. How to Unlock the iPhone X Waking the iPhone X from sleep, also known as unlocking the phone (not to be confused with unlocking it from a phone company), is still simple. Just pick up the phone and swipe up from the bottom of the screen....

The five new mics are the Wavo POD, Wavo PRO, PRO DS, Lav Pro, and the AIR. With these new additions, the Wavo line runs the audio gamut by including different microphone styles like shotgun, lavalier, and tabletop condenser mics. The Wavo POD ($99.99) is a USB condenser microphone intended for podcasting and streaming. JOBY designed the POD with easy-to-use volume controls and high-quality 24bit/48kHz audio so new creators can get up and running fast....

Vuong in 2019 founded Mira, a health-tech company that manages an online platform connecting underinsured or uninsured individuals with medical care. He was inspired to launch the company after working in the healthcare industry, and noticing a gap in medical coverage among many poor and middle-class individuals. When looking for a solution, Vuong knew incorporating technology would be the best way to reach people. Through Mira’s platform, users can find the closest primary care, urgent care, lab, and pharmacy near them to meet their medical needs at an affordable price....

It doesn’t always succeed, but once you realize this is a game developed by a team of just three people, it’s hard not to be impressed. Perfect it might not be, but it’s still very much worth your time, even more so if you love old-school sensibilities alongside more modern RPG playing. Cute With An Extra Dose of Cute The first thing you’ll think when you load up Kitaria Fables is almost certainly a variation on “Awww” or “So Cute!...
