As smartphones have gotten smaller, internal hardware has become more compact, oftentimes leading to pieces being fused together or glued in place. This means more costly repairs, which could make people just buy a new phone instead, thereby causing old phones to be thrown away. iFixit’s teardown of Samsung’s latest smartphone, however, reveals a more easily repairable device. “Over 150 million phones are thrown away each year, in the US alone,” Omkar Dharmapuri, founder of Tech Lurn said via an email interview with Lifewire....

Before You Get Started Before using a Samsung 4K UHD TV’s picture settings to get the best viewing experience, check the following: TV Placement: Position the TV so you can view it straight on. Avoid placing it where you need to look up, down, or at an angle to the screen. The farther you view off-angle from the center, the more colors fade, and the contrast will narrow.Room Lighting. Light from windows or lamps located to the side and across from the TV reflects off the screen....

We’ve compiled a list of the best free and paid options to help you choose the best Blu-ray ripper for you. The biggest concern with MakeMKV is that while the app is free, the ability to rip encoded Blu-rays is only free while the app remains in beta....
Other automakers have emerged in the past few years, ready to drop their own EVs onto the road with varying degrees of success. For 2021, it was a good year for those looking for options outside Tesla. But 2022 is the year where adoption will speed up, and it’s not just because of climate change. I mean, that should be the main reason, but you know what, anything that reduces our impact on the air we breath should be applauded....
What Is the Date for the Next Surface Event? Microsoft’s most recent Surface event was on October 12, 2022, at 10 am ET. We expect the next Surface event to happen in October 2023. Which Products Will Be Announced? We don’t yet know when the next Surface event will be, but rumors include a Microsoft Surface Trio device based on a Microsoft patent that shows a three-screen, foldable smartphone. However, patents don’t always turn into products, and even if this one comes to fruition, we don’t expect to see a Surface Trio until at least 2023....

According to Android Authority, the new budget handset will be a rebrand of the Oppo A93 5G and will include a full HD display, as well as support for 5G connectivity.

Front The cover or front of the card may be a photo, text only, or a combination of text and images. The front of the card is what initially grabs attention and sets the tone (funny, serious, romantic, playful) for the card. Inside Message Some greeting cards are blank inside, and you write a personal message. Others might proclaim “Happy Birthday” or “Season’s Greetings!” There could be a poem, quotation, or the punchline of a joke that began on the front....
“I personally see myself as a regular streamer who enjoys gaming. I don’t see myself as an inspiration to others. But I guess to them, [as a successful] Tibetan streamer, I am?” she ponders in a phone interview with Lifewire. “Whatever I represent on-screen is who I really am, which is why I named it Truly Tenzin.” A Humble Start Dolkar’s path to international digital success has been unconventional, highlighting the power of dedication....
PS4 Slim vs. Xbox One S Graphics Comparison The PS4 Slim and Xbox One S are mid-generation hardware refreshes of the original PS4 and Xbox One consoles. These are marketed and sold as the base models of their brands. Both feature eight-core processors, AMD Jaguar GPUs, and 8 GB of RAM. The PS4 has an advantage over its competition when it comes to resolution. Many third-party titles can run at a full 1080p at 30 or 60 fps on the Sony console, but cap out at 900p at 30 or 60 fps on the Microsoft console....
This thing is rad. It’s a $70 Raspberry Pi computer built into a keyboard. Just connect a mouse and TV (or monitor), and you’re off. As a starter computer, it’s hard to beat. “There are two obvious audiences,” writer and small-computer fanatic Rob Beschizza told Lifewire via direct message, “nostalgiacs who remember the user-friendly personal computers from the 8-bit era, and young enthusiasts meeting the unique computer-in-a-keyboard design for the first time....
One possible way to do that is by getting paid for your data. Companies like Invisibly provide a way for you to cash in on the data others already are using to target you with ads. It’s better than the alternative of companies using your data and you getting nothing at all, but in the even bigger picture, having more control over your data, who uses it, and how it’s used against you is an important topic to consider....
Failure Modes There are numerous reasons why components fail. Some failures are slow and graceful, where there is time to identify the component and replace it before it fails, and the equipment is down. Other failures are rapid, violent, and unexpected, all of which are tested for during product certification testing. Component Package Failures The package of a component provides two core functions: it protects the component from the environment and provides a way for the component to connect to the circuit....

If you find your cursor inexplicably changes from Brush shape to crosshairs or vice versa, you probably accidentally pressed the Caps Lock key. Press it again. to change Tools With Precise Settings A precise cursor is available for many of Photoshop CC’s brush tools, brush-based tools or other tools.

As far as Sonic games go, it’s surprisingly involved, and its levels have a sense of massive scale that the Genesis games didn’t have. It’s a challenging game, but a great one, and perhaps the pinnacle of the series. There’s also the amazing soundtracks, both the original Japanese one and Spencer Nilsen’s U.S. soundtrack that so many Sonic fans are fond of. Not many people played this one because it was on Sega CD, the add-on to the Sega Genesis....
Unlike most Wi-Fi extenders that are a single device—which repeats your Wi-Fi signal from your router to extend the coverage range—the TP-Link AV1300 Powerline Wi-Fi Range Extender (TL-WPA8630 KIT) actually comes with two rounded rectangular devices, both of which plug into wall outlets. And no, it’s not a full mesh networking kit like Google Nest Wi-Fi. The “Powerline” part of the name is the clue: TP-Link’s Wi-Fi extender takes a unique approach, with one device connecting to your router via an Ethernet cable and then transmitting the signal through your home’s power wiring....
Like some of the best SD cards, the Transcend 64GB SDXC 700S is rather unassuming and doesn’t make quite as many bold claims about its speed on the packaging. Nonetheless, it still managed to outperform all the other cards in our roundup, and even exceeded the speed claims it did make. Who bullied this card? Clearly Transcend is in need of a confidence boost. The Transcend 64GB SDXC 700S makes good use of the UHS-II standard (distinguishable by a second row of pins on the rear of the card) by providing fast write and read speeds that manage to handle the 4K recording demands of most cameras on the market today....
Once upon a time, Twitter had a 140-character limit, which many users found too restrictive. That limit has since doubled to 280, but sometimes even that may not be enough to say all you want. Sure it’s possible to use Twitlonger to work around those limitations (in a fashion), or you can thread subsequent tweets together, but that can be a little clunky. So Twitter came up with Notes—a way for writers to go well beyond the 280-character limit, attach multiple photos/videos/GIFs, and share with both on and offline users....
