Some benefits come with playing your Xbox games on the Xbox 360. Besides the convenience of playing both systems’ games on one console, compatible Xbox games played on your 360 will be upscaled to 720p/1080i resolution, assuming you have an HDTV, and will take advantage of full-screen anti-aliasing. However, backward compatibility also comes with limitations. When you play an Xbox game on the Xbox 360, the quality and the playability can vary....
The report highlights the growing threats from cyberattacks as more people are working from home during the coronavirus pandemic. In a survey, respondents estimated that the average volume was 12 attacks per month, but the real number is 104. But there are ways to defend your home against attacks. “The most important way to protect yourself online is to stop and think before you click a link or open an email attachment,” Noopur Davis, chief product and information security officer at Comcast, said in an email interview....
Modern misinformation efforts seek to disrupt the political process or further complicate the already complicated COVID-19 pandemic, and they spread like wildfire across social media. YouTube, however, has just announced some new moves to limit misinformation on their platform, according to a company blog post. The uber-popular streaming platform is taking a three-tiered approach to stomping out misinformation. It starts with an improved machine-learning algorithm to catch offending content before it gets a chance to spread....
Should you try YouTube Music or Spotify? Read on to find out as we break down every feature and limitation of each online music streaming service. Overall Findings YouTube Music and Spotify both offer massive libraries of music to choose from, with literally millions of tracks available on each. What’s better? Well, Spotify does win in terms of audio quality, but the difference is small enough that most listeners won’t hear any difference, and some may even prefer how some songs sound on YouTube Music....
Why Isn’t YouTube TV Working? Since YouTube TV is a live television streaming service that allows you to stream on-demand movies, television shows, sports, and more, many things can keep it from working properly. Poor internet connectivity, corrupt or outdated software and device issues are the most common reasons that prevent YouTube TV from working right. If you’re trying to use YouTube TV outside the area where you originally signed up, that can also keep the service from working....

How Do I Stream TikTok to My TV? If you have a supported device, you can install TikTok right on your TV, log in to your account, and watch videos on the big screen. If you don’t have a TV that works like that, the other option is to use the app normally on your phone, tablet, or computer, but then use screen mirroring to show the videos on your TV....
What Is an HQX File? A file with the HQX file extension is a BinHex 4 compressed archive file originally used on classic Mac OS computers that’s used to store binary versions of images, documents, and multimedia files. They used to use the .HEX and .HCX extension. BinHex stands for “binary-to-hexadecimal.” The format is used to store 8-bit binary data in a 7-bit text format. While their file size is larger, corruption is said to be less likely with files that have been saved in this way, which is why HQX files used to be preferred when transferring data over email....
If you’ve patiently waited for the new iOS 16 release, you’re in luck. The latest version of Apple’s smartphone operating system is available now. As long as your iPhone is compatible (i.e., you have an iPhone 8 or newer), you can start the update immediately. Like most significant version jumps, this update offers several new features for your iPhone. The lock screen is more customizable with simulated depth for your photos, choose between display fonts, and set your preferences for what kind of information is displayed....
iRig, iRig 2, and iRig 2 HD2 The original iRig guitar interface was introduced in 2010 and allowed guitar and bass players to plug their guitars into an iOS device and, with the help of an app like IK’s AmpliTude or GarageBand, practice and record as if they were playing in a studio. The original iRig let you plug your guitar into your iPad, included a pre-amp for improved tone, and came with the free AmpliTube software, which added amp simulation, a Noise Filter, and a Delay effect....
How to Tell if You Can Play PS2 Games on Your PS3 The original 60GB and 20GB launch models are backward compatible with PS2 games because they have PS2 chips in them. Other models, most notably the 80GB Metal Gear Solid PS3, used to be backward compatible using emulation software, but they no longer support PS2 games. To tell if your console is PS2 backward compatible: If you have an 80GB PlayStation 3, or a Metal Gear Solid PS3, that hasn’t been updated since it came out of the box, it may still be backward compatible through software emulation....
The Elite 85t earbuds are quite possibly Jabra’s best foot forward into the audio space. The Elite line has been a key AirPod competitor since the 65t, and they improved vastly on the design and build quality with the updated Elite 75t versions last year. Conversely, the newer Elite 85t earbuds look almost exactly the same as the 75ts, at least on the surface. When it comes to emulating a pair of true wireless earbuds, you can do a lot worse than the Elite 75ts, so it’s not really a problem that they didn’t update the form factor....

Chromebooks and 2-in-1 laptop/tablet hybrid devices both aim to offer the best of two worlds. A 2-in-1 offers the intuitive touchscreen-based experience of a tablet with the productivity advantages of a physical keyboard. A Chromebook can look and feel like a premium quality product but carry a low budget price tag. The Lenovo Chromebook Duet aims to offer all this versatility and value in one convenient package. Design: Stylish exterior The Lenovo Duet is certainly attractive, with a two-tone blue and black finish, a subtle camera bump on its front, and reasonably discrete bezels around its screen....
The P11 Pro is Lenovo’s latest attempt at a truly premium Android-based tablet. And, while the build quality and spec sheet do make a compelling case for the “Pro” distinction, the experience of using the tablet might just leave something to be desired. To be fair, the Android tablet space isn’t exactly reliable—forcing users to dip well into the budget Kindle Fire territory or shell out major cash for something from the Galaxy Tab S lineup....
Locket is a kind of super-private social network, one that lets you share photos direct to your friends’ iPhone home screens. It works like this: You add the app’s widget to your Home Screen, and then any of your friends can send you a picture, and it shows up right there in the widget. It’s a fantastic idea, and one which is, apparently, going totally viral right now. But of course, such easy access to such a public spot on your iPhone could also get you fired or divorced....
Why Voice and Not Video? Not that video isn’t cool: An image is worth a thousand words, and a video is worth millions. But there are moments in which you might prefer to make a simple voice call. The primary reason is data consumption. Video calling consumes bandwidth, and over cellular networks (which generally are rated per MB of data consumed), it becomes quite expensive. Voice calling requires much less bandwidth, which means it’s much less expensive if you’re on a metered plan....
Microsoft looks to be taking a heavy focus on the seamlessness of using Windows 11 on tablet PCs. Following the initial announcement for the OS on Thursday, the company took some time to talk in-depth about the new features it has planned for Windows 11 on tablets. Chief among these features were new typing improvements, better touch targets, and, of course, widgets. Another big change with Windows 11 comes when you remove an attachable keyboard from your tablet PC....
