Who Is Eligible for the Ambassador Program? If you bought your Nintendo 3DS prior to August 12, 2011, and logged into the Nintendo eShop at least once before that date, you were automatically registered for the Ambassador Program. This also applies if you took advantage of the unofficial price cuts that were rolled out by some major retailers like Wal-Mart, Target, and GameStop in the week leading up to August 12....
IE Temporary Internet Files Location Internet Explorer has a default location where temporary internet files are stored. Depending on your operating system, temp files should be in one of these locations: C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache: This temp files location is relevant in Windows 10 and Windows 8. C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files: This is where temporary internet files are stored in Windows 7 and Windows Vista. C:\Documents and Settings[username]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files: This is where Windows XP IE temp internet files are stored....

Some anime series and movies to check out on Netflix are Aggretsuko, Attack on Titan, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Knights of Sidona, and Glitter Force, the Netflix-produced English dub of the popular Japanese anime, Pretty Cure.

We’ll also look at older iPhone models currently available only as refurbished devices through Apple or via third-party sellers: iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, iPhone XR, and iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro Who will want it: If having the coolest, most cutting-edge technology matters to you, the iPhone 13 Pro series is your only choice. Both the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max offer Apple’s TrueTone color management system, making it an excellent choice for artists, content creators, and heavy users....
Bluetooth headphones are just fantastic, and Bluetooth earbuds are a level higher than that. They sit snug in your ears, and their non-existent wires can never catch on a backpack strap, never bounce against clothes and conduct a boom into your ear, and never get tangled in your pocket. They sound great, the batteries last long enough, and some brands even have fancy augmented-reality tricks up their metaphorical sleeves. But one thing Bluetooth can never, ever do is eliminate that delay....
In the world of musical instruments, older is often seen as better. Some of this is nostalgia, inertia, and the desire to copy past artists instead of creating new music. But some of it is that a lot of those old electric guitar, effects, and synth designers got it right the first time. The Minimoog is one of those. Born in 1970 and still the blueprint for many modern synthesizers, its sound can be found on everything from 70s prog rock, to 80s synth-pop, to Nine Inch Nails and Portishead....
This kind of thing doesn’t happen often, but I know everyone who plays video games has experienced it at least once. Where you play something that may not be perfect (because what is?) and won’t appeal to everyone, but it seems like it was made for you. Like the people who made it somehow tapped into your brain and knew exactly what you wanted before you did. I knew I wanted to play Eastward when I saw a handful of screenshots, and I knew I had to play it once I watched the trailer....
Ever since I got used to using the iPad Pro with a keyboard, its Face ID unlock spoiled me. Switching back to the Mac, where you have to type a password repeatedly to unlock the computer, authorize logins, and so on, is a step backward. And while the Unlock With Apple Watch feature is great, it’s not reliable enough to just set and forget. So when the M1 iMacs showed up, with their fancy Touch ID keyboards, I thought to myself, I have to have one of those for my Mac mini....
I’ve owned succeeding generations of iPads since Apple launched the line, and this is the first Apple tablet I can wholeheartedly recommend for anything beyond media consumption. It’s fast enough to work on multiple documents while watching videos, and it’s the best Apple device I’ve ever used. As Apple’s mid-range tablet, the iPad Air (starting at $599) is positioned price- and feature-wise between the basic iPad (starting at $329) and the iPad Pro (starting at $799)....
The iPad Air and iPad Pro are many things, but what they most definitely are not is expandable. The solution is a dongle, but you have to pick the right one. If you’re traveling, this is even more important. The Kingston Nucleum is an almost perfect travel hub for your iPad (or MacBook, or PC laptop). It has almost everything you need, almost nothing you don’t, and it’s well-built, reliable, and pretty good looking....
Twitter users have been begging for an edit button for a while now. Every new feature that the social media giant releases brings a slew of new tweets about how the company isn’t listening to its community. While an edit button sounds like a good idea on paper, experts caution that giving users a way to change content after it has been live for a while could come with bigger implications....
Windows 11 is looking to shake up Microsoft’s operating system when it launches later this year, and last week the company showed off a slew of new features and changes coming with the OS. Chief among them were more improvements to make the experience between laptop and tablet mode on 2-in-1s more seamless. Updates to the touch targets and the removal of Windows tablet mode are all critical parts of the new system....
Google is tightening up its Titan Security Key offerings, adding NFC support to all of the physical authenticators it offers and completely removing one of the options it used to offer. Bringing NFC support to each of its security keys means users can log into their accounts using their smartphone and other smart devices. Experts say the move has made it even easier for everyday consumers to take advantage of the highest level of security Google offers for their accounts....
WhatsApp now will let you send private and disappearing photos and videos. After the recipient opens the image for the first time, “View Once” deletes it, without saving it to a phone. WhatsApp said the feature is aimed at “giving users, even more, control over their privacy.” Experts urge caution, however, with your private pics. “It’s important that users understand that there are workarounds to WhatsApp View Once feature,” Lynette Owens, the global director of internet safety for kids and families at cybersecurity firm Trend Micro, told Lifewire in an email interview....
Windows has long had the option to run Linux distributions as a virtual environment, but it’s going to get a little easier because Microsoft is releasing WSL as a separate app, which you’ll be able to download from the Microsoft Store. The WSL app that’s currently available is intended as a “preview to help ensure quality,” but a general release is planned for the future. Part of what makes this specific form of distribution stand out is not digging through menus to enable WSL in Windows 11....
Considerations First of all, we’d like to start with a brief caution about actually wiring your new deep cycle battery into the electrical system. There are two major issues to consider: deep cycle batteries aren’t designed to operate on a “shallow cycle” like starting batteries are, and your electronics won’t differentiate between the deep cycle and starting batteries if both are hooked up. Why Cutoff Switches Are Best With that in mind, you may want to hook up both of your batteries with cutoff switches....
The Xbox app has received an update that now shows whether or not some select game will run well on your PC. It appears Microsoft is still in the process of putting this in place, so not every game in the library has been cataloged yet. Once you select a game from the Xbox app, you’ll likely see one of two icons with accompanying text that appear under the Install button....
According to Xbox Wire, the feature requires a subscription to Game Pass Ultimate and will be available in 25 regions around the world, with Brazil support coming soon. The November update also includes quality-of-life changes like new color filters for menus and a controller firmware update. Xbox Cloud Gaming allows you to play titles on Microsoft’s cloud servers. It has many uses, like trying out new games before downloading them or hopping in a multiplayer match on a title you don’t own....
What Is an XVID File? An XVID file uses the Xvid codec. It’s not a video format like MP4, but instead a program that’s used to compress and decompress video to MPEG-4 ASP, a compression standard, to save on disk space and file transfer speeds. Because of the compression supported in Xvid content, a full-length movie can usually be compressed sufficiently to retain DVD quality while still fitting on a CD....
Use Pinch Gestures to Zoom In and Out To zoom in on a photo or web page, press on the screen with your index finger and thumb leaving only a small amount of space between the two fingers. Keep your finger and thumb on the screen, then move your fingers away from each other, expanding the space between them. As your fingers move apart, the screen zooms in. To zoom out, do the reverse: Move your thumb and index finger toward each other while keeping each pressed to the screen....
