Jabra has become well known in the world of headphones and headsets. One of Jabra’s headset offerings, the Jabra Steel, is known for its rugged durability—it’s a dust, water, and shock-resistant headset targeted towards outdoorsy types or workers on the go. The front of the package even features a construction worker. At a retail price of $100, the Jabra Steel isn’t the most expensive Bluetooth headset on the market by any means, but it’s not exactly affordable either, especially considering you can buy other well-rated headsets for less than 20 bucks....

About the Jamo J-Series Subwoofers The J 10 SUB and J 12 SUB complement Jamo’s Studio Speaker line (S-series). The higher-end J 110 SUB and J 112 SUB are a better match for their Concert Series line (C-Series). All four subwoofers incorporate MDF (medium density fiberboard) cabinet construction and feature a bass-reflex design. The drivers are front-firing and additionally supported by a rear port (round on the J 10 and J 12, and slotted on the J 110 and J 112)....

Overall Findings: Is a Fire Tablet the Same as a Kindle? Fire tablets aren’t the same as Kindles, which is a bit confusing, especially to anyone who remembers when the line of Fire tablets initially launched as Kindle Fire. Kindle and Fire share a tablet form factor, but Kindles are e-readers, and Fire tablets are general-use tablets. As a result, you can run the Kindle app on a Fire tablet to read books, but you can’t watch movies, play games, send an email, or video chat with a Kindle....

Compared to portable and mobile computers, the iMac has been relatively less accessorized, but that doesn’t mean it’s been left out. You can buy shelves, stands, even dongles that move the awkwardly placed USB ports to the front. If you can imagine an accessory for the iMac, it probably already exists. And with the new slimline, iPad-on-a-stick design of the M1 iMac, we can expect a slew of revamped and brand-new accessories....

The program is also intelligent enough to save each song separately and add basic music tag information. The interface is well designed and is also skinnable. There are a few free ones you can download from the RadioSure website. To listen to an internet radio station, scroll through the list of available stations. For something more specific, a search box allows you to enter a genre or the name of a station....

Not again, I thought. The light was my signal to punch the Liteboxer along with a video class playing on my iPad. I threw a flurry of uppercuts and jabs, then collapsed in exhaustion. Lying on the floor for a break, I was able to see my stats on the Liteboxer’s iPad app. I had thrown 700 punches. The Peloton of Boxing? Liteboxer has been dubbed the Peloton of boxing because it turns the traditional punching bag into high-tech workout gear....

The Quest 2 has pros and cons, but if you’ve wanted more auditory immersion in your VR, Logitech has what it believes is the solution. The Logitech Chorus for Meta Quest 2 is essentially a specialized set of headphones designed specifically to integrate with the Quest 2, both functionally and physically. Comfort was a big focus with the Chorus, which maintains an open-back structure with off-ear acoustics so it won’t add too much bulk to what’s already on your head....

Many environmentalists did just that. Unfortunately for Honda, far more picked the Prius hybrid over the Insight as their efficient vehicle of choice. If you cornered most people back in the early 2000s and asked them, “which automakers do you think will be one of the first to dominate electric vehicles in the future?” Chances are, based just on their push for vehicles with batteries, the answer would have probably been Honda and Toyota....

Marvel’s superhero movie franchise has become one of the most expansive film series in history, but has never really had a big tie-in game. That changes with the release of Marvel’s Avengers, a third-person action-adventure game where you get to play as a number of the big-name Avengers characters. It’s an exciting concept, but the reality might not live up to the high expectations of fans. Setup: Straightforward, aside from some account sign in nonsense After a bulky 50 GB download, the game launched without issue, first from Steam to a separate launcher where I could adjust graphics and other settings....

What Is MHL? HDMI is the default wired audio and video connection protocol for home theaters. However, there’s another way to extend its capabilities: MHL An MHL port lets you connect a smartphone, tablet, or another portable device to an HDTV, audio receiver, or video projector using either a special MHL-enabled HDMI input or an adapter. HDMI combines high-resolution digital video (which includes 4K, 3D, and 8K depending on the version) and audio (up to eight channels) into a single connection, reducing the amount of cable clutter....

The recently released Build 98.0.1108.23 of the Edge browser in the Beta Channel includes new security options designed to protect users against dangerous vulnerabilities, also known as zero-day threats. “This feature is a huge step forward because it lets us mitigate unforeseen active zero days,” noted Microsoft in the release notes. Protecting the Browser In a bid to explain the importance of protecting the browser, Justin Fier, Director of Cyber Intelligence & Analytics at cyber defense company Darktrace, told Lifewire in an email that the web browser has become a vital component of our computer usage, with some of us even moving to browser-only environments thanks to the likes of Google’s Chrome OS....

Microsoft’s How-Old.net is a simple little website that previews what the company has been working on. It uses facial detection technology and learns over time from all the data collected by the photos submitted to guess your age. How to Use the Site to Guess Your Age Trying the site out for yourself is super easy, and you can use it from both a desktop computer or a mobile device....

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 is a small but important step forward for this mid-range laptop, though you wouldn’t know it at a glance. Even Surface fans will be hard-pressed to spot any difference between the new model and its predecessor. The Laptop 4’s size, weight, and screen size are nearly identical to prior models. Inside, it’s a different story. The Surface Laptop 4 has new AMD and Intel processor options that promise not just a boost in performance, but also battery life....

If you’ve ever wanted to use Microsoft Teams for something outside of office coordination, now’s your chance. Microsoft is expanding the platform’s scope with the new Communities feature which lets you bring people together outside the tasks of your daily work life. Chats, calls, and file sharing are all part of Teams’ new community features, but Microsoft says it’s adding more than just a new group categorization. You can also post messages to be seen by everyone in the group, organize events and add them to a shared calendar (and track attendance), and store and share documents....

The announcement was made on Microsoft’s Tech Community blog, which states the unification will happen via a series of updates and include a redesign, as well as some new features. Currently, there are two versions of the OneNote app on Windows—the app installed with Office and OneNote for Windows 10 available from the Microsoft Store. The OneNote app will get some new features, as well as the exclusive features on OneNote for Windows 10....

When the command is triggered, a prompt is displayed on the machine(s) that it was sent to that shows the message as well as the sender’s username and the time that the message was sent. It functions similarly to the net send command that was popular in Windows XP, but it’s not a true replacement for it. See Using the Msg Command to Replace Net Send further down the page....

If you have a growing family or a growing list of devices competing for bandwidth in your home, you’ve probably experienced jockeying for a signal here or there. That’s where a capable tri-band router like the Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router comes in handy. This router boasts high-speed Wi-Fi of up to 3.2Gbps and three different Wi-Fi bands that work simultaneously to deliver the connectivity all your family members and devices require....

According to Bloomberg tech columnist Mark Gurman, Apple is currently working on variations of Time to Walk called “Time to Run” and “Audio Meditations.” Apple hasn’t revealed any additional details yet, but the fact that they’re confirmed as variations of Time to Walk means they’ll likely function in a similar manner. Time to Walk, which is available to Fitness+ subscribers, is intended to encourage Apple Watch users to go for walks more often....

Fortunately, we can all benefit from AC in new cars. But as this and other features became standard, automakers have started looking elsewhere to pump up the cost of a vehicle. Some of these optional features are great. Like heated seats, if you live where temperatures tend to drop below 40 degrees on a regular basis. Others, well, they’re sort of odd, like 3D dash clusters. When shopping for an electric vehicle (EV), this is when you need to focus on what’s important and not get sidelined by the latest feature that you might not even use....
