The H-Series is Intel’s flagship mobile processor line. But it’s clear that Intel, feeling pressure from AMD and Apple, isn’t confident you’ll buy the H-Series for its performance. The company has shifted its pitch to focus on flexibility, connectivity, and support for the latest Wi-Fi standards. “Our positioning against Apple’s M1 is very focused on what the PC ecosystem provides, what the H-Series systems provide, that Apple MacBooks based on the M1 can’t provide, from the software ecosystem to system choice, to system diversity,” Ryan Shrout, Intel’s chief performance strategist, said during a press Q&A session....

Companies send me a lot of emails, and they’re mostly about products that will charge my devices. In fact, power-charging devices are as common as cats; every PR person assures me of their product’s universality. Some chargers have style, some have power, and on rare occasions, some have both. I decided to take the PowerHub for a test drive to see where it falls on that continuum. Here’s what I found out....

The DaydreamerDan brand is boundless. From cooking lasagna dressed as Garfield to getting lost in a rogue-like title or tabletop role-playing game, his audience of over 50,000 across TikTok and Twitch found a liminal space to be every fabric of themselves. “I still think it’s wild that somebody would want to watch me cook, drink milkshakes, and play video games,” Daniel said during a phone interview with Lifewire. “It’s so strange to me because it’s something I would have never expected… how these communities can form due to shared values or being able to share a laugh....

What Is Network Speed? You want your networks to run fast in all situations. In some cases, a network delay may last only a few milliseconds and have a negligible impact on what you’re doing. In other cases, network delays can cause severe slowdowns. Typical scenarios that are especially sensitive to network speed issues include time to establish a new connectiontime to load a web pagetime to download an app, operating system patch, or other filesability to stream video content for long periods without glitches...

The three basic types of wireless network connections — peer-to-peer, home router, and hotspot — each has its own specific setup and management considerations. Peer-to-Peer Wireless Connections Connecting two wireless devices directly to each other is a form of peer-to-peer networking. Peer-to-peer connections allow devices to share resources (files, a printer, or an Internet connection). They can be made using various wireless technologies, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi being the most popular choices....

Subnet Mask Perhaps the most recognizable aspect of subnetting is the subnet mask. Like IP addresses, a subnet mask contains four bytes (32 bits) and is often written using the same dotted-decimal notation. For example, here’s a common subnet mask in its binary representation: This subnet mask is typically shown in the equivalent, more readable form: Applying a Subnet Mask A subnet mask neither works as an IP address nor does it exist independently of IP addresses....

About Assisted GPS The iPhone 6 has a built-in GPS chip like its predecessors. You don’t need to set up the GPS chip on your phone, but you can turn it on or off. The phone uses the GPS chip in conjunction with Wi-Fi networks and nearby cellphone towers to calculate the phone’s location. This process of using several technologies to establish location is called assisted GPS. How GPS Works The Global Positioning System (GPS), which consists of 31 operational satellites in orbit, is maintained by the U....

How to Create a New Note in the iPhone Notes App To creating a basic note in the Notes app: By default, the note is assigned a filename that includes the date (or time) and the first few words of the note and is positioned at the top of the list of notes. How to Format Text in iPhone Notes To make the note visually appealing or better organized, add formatting to the text....

The iPod nano doesn’t offer a big screen or big storage capacity like the iPod touch, but it’s got more features than the Shuffle (and, unlike the Shuffle, it’s got a screen!). The nano started out as a lightweight, portable MP3 player, and over the years added features include video playback, video recording, and an FM radio. This has made the iPod nano much more like its competitors, but it’s still one of the best portable music devices of its kind....

You’ve probably never had an IPv4-related issue that stopped you from going online, so you might wonder why IPv6 is even a thing. What does an upgraded IP do? Is IPv6 better than IPv4? Let’s look at what these terms mean and how they’re different. What IPv4 and IPv6 Mean IPv4 stands for IP version 4. It started being used in 1983 and is still widely used today. You’ve probably seen an IPv4 address—they’re presented in dot-decimal notation like this, where there are four sections of numbers separated by periods: IPv6 stands for IP version 6....

The site has gone through some pretty rough times over the years, but believe it or not, lots of people still use it as one of their main social networks. Here’s a brief look at how Myspace started, when it began to decline, and how it’s attempting to make a comeback. The Most Visited Social Network From 2005 to 2008 Myspace launched in 2003. Friendster gave inspiration to the founders of Myspace, and the social network officially went live on the web in January 2004....

It can be difficult to tell whether Twitch is down or if the problem is on your end, but there are a number of ways to narrow it down and even get Twitch working again if it isn’t totally down for everyone. If You See a Twitch Error Message, That Can Help When Twitch fails to load, or you have trouble viewing live streams, you may see an error message....

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds are certified for use with Zoom and Microsoft Teams and feature some high-tech features, such as Bluetooth multipoint connectivity that allows you to connect multiple devices to the earbuds simultaneously. This is extremely useful when multitasking or when trying to relay information from your phone to coworkers or friends in a Zoom meeting. Jabra outfitted these earbuds with a proprietary voice-enhancement technology that combines algorithms, bone conduction sensors, and four microphones to block out surrounding noise and zero in on the actual conversation....

Clean Your iPad Screen The best way to tell if an iPad gets a lot of use is to look at the fingerprints covering the screen. In normal light indoors, these fingerprints find ways to hide, but sunlight creates a glare. Infrequently used iPads pick up dust and should be cleaned regularly. Avoid window cleaner and other cleaning solutions, especially those containing ammonia. Instead, use a lint-free, scratch-resistant cloth like the ones used to clean eyeglasses....

Design: Almost pocket-sized, which is both good and bad The Kobo Clara HD is tiny. It resembles a small 4x6-inch notepad you might use at your desk and weighs just a little under 6 ounces, which is light and small enough to fit in a large jacket pocket and stow comfortably in even small bags without really noticing it’s there. Oddly enough, despite the featherweight design, I found this e-reader uncomfortable to hold for extended lengths of time....

A second round of credible rumors points to a new, cheaper film camera from Leica. These days, Leica is the camera equivalent of the Birkin bag: it might be a great tool, but it has an absurd price that, while part of the appeal, has very little to do with its practical value. But Leica used to be a workhorse brand, no less affordable than the top-of-the-line pro cameras of today....

To keep this size war going, electronics giant LG teased an absolutely massive 97-inch OLED screen at K-Display 2022, the KDIA’s (Korea Display Industry Association) largest TV and monitor showcase. They’re calling it the OLED.EX, and it’s the largest OLED panel ever created. This Godzilla-esque TV is more than its extra-large panel, however, as the OLED.EX is equipped with LG’s CSO (Cinematic Sound OLED) technology that has been featured in some of the company’s prototype designs, such as a previously announced 48-inch bendable OLED panel....

LucidSound has been at the forefront of this charge for years, and they just announced another pair of headphones for their ever-increasing stable.

For years, Macs were preferred in the design world, while PCs with the Windows operating system dominated the business world. When looking at the two for graphic design work, the focus is on the handling of graphics, color and type, the availability of software, and overall ease of use. Overall Findings If you have previous experience with either platform, you’re probably fine sticking with the one you use most. Both options provide the software and hardware power needed to create graphics....

Spreadsheets programs can also perform calculations on the data using formulas. To help make it easier to find and read the information in a worksheet, Excel has a number of formatting features that can be applied to individual cells, rows, columns, and entire tables of data. Since each worksheet in recent versions of Excel contains billions of cells per worksheet, each cell has an address known as a cell reference so that it can be referenced in formulas, charts, and other features of the program....
