That’s just what virtual real estate marketplace Origin lets you do. The newly-announced service will provide a place for users to buy, sell, and trade land in the metaverse, sold as NFTs, as announced via an official press release. Origin offers multichain functionality, meaning it allows for land trading across multiple blockchains and metaverse worlds, all from a single hub. Believe it or not, this is something that has not existed until now, with users forced to circumvent various metaverse platforms to purchase virtual real estate....

The Pioneer Elite SX-S30 is a slimline two-channel receiver that packs a lot of features into a surprisingly small package. It’s about a third of the height of most full-sized receivers while still incorporating just about everything you could possibly need out of a two-channel receiver. There are a few notable omissions that I’ll get into later, but the SX-S30 is quite a remarkable little package. Specifications don’t always measure up to reality, so I recently took an SX-S30 home, unplugged my current receiver, and put Pioneers slimline’s to the test....

We already knew Sony’s next virtual reality headset was due in “early 2023,” but now we have an exact date and price. The base PSVR2 set, which includes the headset, left and right PSVR2 Sense controllers, and headphones, launches on February 22, 2023, and carries an MSRP of $549.99. That makes it a bit more than either the original PSVR or the Meta Quest 2 post-price hike. Granted, the PSVR2 does offer a bit more than its predecessor, with a slightly wider field of view (110 degrees instead of 100 degrees), a higher resolution OLED panel, more accurate controller tracking, and it’ll be a bit more comfortable due to its reduced weight and improved airflow....

Tumblr’s new subscription service is called Post+, and it lets Tumblr microbloggers choose which posts they want public, and which to put behind a paywall. Subscribers pay $3.99, $5.99, or $9.99 per month—the amount is decided by the creator, and Tumblr takes a 5% cut. And that’s it. Super simple, just like the original all-free Tumblr. But can it bring the blogging service back? “Of course, Tumblr’s paid subscriptions will make the platform relevant again....

How QR Codes Work In many cases, the decoded message in the QR code is a web link. QR codes save users the hassle of writing down a web address or other information while they’re out and about. A quick scan with your phone and a QR reader app is all you need, no fumbling with writing a website or phone number on a napkin or something. Some advertisers place QR codes on billboards, buildings, floor tiles, or anywhere else they can think of, hoping to make someone curious enough to scan the QR code....

Third Normal Form Requirements There are two basic requirements for a database to be in 3NF: The database must meet the requirements of both 1NF and 2NF. All database columns must depend on the primary key, meaning that any column’s value can be derived from the primary key only. Primary Key Dependence Let’s explore further what we mean by the fact that all columns must depend on the primary key. If a column’s value can be derived from both the primary key and another column in the table, it violates 3NF....

I tested the RemoBell S for a week to see if its installation process, design, app, and features make it a worthwhile option compared to the numerous alternatives on the market....

Think about video games for a second. If you’re into them, then you probably play either alone or with like-minded friends. But what if you want to play with folks who aren’t gamers? Or family members who enjoy a quick blast of Super Stickman Golf on their phone, but little else? That’s where a retro-minded console like the Evercade VS comes in. It’s a four-player home console that hooks up to the TV and lets you play a bunch of old console and arcade games....

The new Galaxy Chromebook Go features a 14-inch TFT HD display and runs Chrome OS. While the naming convention is similar, this is not the same model as Samsung’s Galaxy Book Go (Wi-Fi), which uses Windows 10. The new Chromebook Go also will be a little larger and heavier than the Galaxy Book Go (Wi-Fi). Another distinction is that this new Chromebook Go uses an Intel N4500 Celeron processor, compared to the Galaxy Book Go (Wi-Fi)’s Qualcomm 7c Gen....

Not All Evernote Tips Are Good Tips Unfortunately, amidst all the clever suggestions for using Evernote are several very risky tips. The problem: The only thing separating your Evernote collection from prying eyes is a username and password.

Apple confirms that iOS 15 will run on everything from an iPhone 6S (2015) to the new iPhone 12 (2020), however only the iPhone XS (2018) and newer will have access to all of its features. Many of iOS 15’s processor-heavy functions, and those that will run on-device rather than requiring access to Apple servers, simply won’t work on older devices. What it comes down to is the A12 processor, which made its debut in the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR....

That’s where Bluetooth receivers, clip-on music players, and good old-fashioned smartphones come in handy. Another option? Spotify’s Car Thing, an in-car streaming device that is now available for purchase, as announced in a company blog post. If this device sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because Spotify released a select number of units to premium users last April. Back then, it was strictly an invite-only affair. Now, though, any paying Spotify user can head to this official sales page to buy the accessory....
