A Note on Discounts and Sales In most cases, comparison shopping among a few stores for the item you want can often lead to saving money or getting some additional products or services along with your purchase. That’s generally not true with the iPad. Apple tightly controls the prices of its products, including what other stores can sell them for, so it’s rare to see significantly different prices at different stores....
The SpatialLabs View and View Pro are both 15.6-inch 4K displays that can be connected to a PC and provide glasses-free 3D imaging. The difference between them is how they’re meant to be used—the base View model is more for entertainment, and the View Pro focuses on work environments. The SpatialLabs View can display stereoscopic 3D thanks to its TrueGame app. According to Acer, it utilized developer information about game models and environments to present games in 3D....

If you live in a larger house or even an apartment where a central router is too far from your dwelling, you may experience poor connectivity issues or even dead zones where connect to the internet. That’s where wireless range extenders come in. By using them to “piggyback” onto an existing wireless connection, you can extend a wireless signal to areas in your home previously bereft of Wi-Fi. The TP-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender RE305 is a value-priced, no-frills extender that promises quick setup, a low-key design, and typically smooth connectivity at a great price....
The Face-Down Maneuver This is the oldest trick in the book: Turn your phone over so that no one can see your notifications. The drawback is that it’s not exactly subtle. Doing so typically raises suspicion among companions about what you’re trying to hide. Furthermore, you won’t see the notifications, which may defeat the purpose. Stealth Texting (No Sound) You can always turn off the text notification sound and use the vibrate setting instead....
The process of getting verified on Twitter has become something of a rollercoaster since the platform tried accepting public submissions a few years ago. Eventually Twitter stopped accepting applications entirely back in 2017, not bringing verification back again until May 2021. Now it’s once again stopped accepting verifications, with the official @verified account stating the company wants to “make improvements to the application and review process.” What Twitter means by “improvements” hasn’t been specified, though NewsBytes attributes the decision to the platform recently verifying several fake accounts....
Apple’s implementation of AirDrop relies on Wi-Fi chipsets that have built-in PAN support. This reliance on hardware-based PAN capabilities in Wi-Fi chipsets has the unfortunate consequences of limiting the use of AirDrop to Macs released in late 2008 or later. The restrictions apply to third-party wireless products as well; they need to have a built-in Wi-Fi chipset that supports PAN. It also prevents you from using AirDrop on other types of local networks, such as good old-fashioned wired Ethernet, which isn’t many people’s network of choice anymore at home but may still be in many offices....
Enable the Transaction Log To enable logging in Outlook: Troubleshoot Outlook Issues After logging is enabled, reproduce the problem so that you can inspect the log. After you’ve encountered the same error, disable logging (from the Outlook Options dialog box), restart Outlook, then find the Outlook LOG file. To locate the LOG file: Troubleshooting The LOG file offers technical guidance about problems, but the output may not be easy to parse....
The company’s Re-Spin record player was first teased back at CES in January, but now it is officially available for purchase. This suitcase-style vinyl player is incredibly light, with a 20 percent reduction in weight when compared to traditional models, and made with portability in mind, including a handle for transport. The Re-Spin also boasts an eco-friendly design, as Victrola used a “highly-efficient manufacturing process” with recycled materials making up around 25 percent of the final product....
Frame Rate Pros and Cons Just like traditional film, digital videos display images as individual frames. Frame rate refers to the number of frames-per-second (FPS) a television can display. These frames are displayed using the interlaced scan method or the progressive scan method. Frame rates are often listed alongside the video resolution. For example, 1080p/60 TV has a frame rate of 60 FPS. TV manufacturers have introduced a number of features to improve the frame rate....
Apple’s reasoning is good, but there are times when you may need to view these out-of-the-way corners of your Mac’s file system. You’ll find that accessing these hidden corners of your Mac is one of the steps in many Mac troubleshooting guides, as well as guides for backing up important data, such as mail messages or Safari bookmarks. Fortunately, Apple includes ways to access these hidden goodies in OS X and the more recent macOS....
If you’re looking for a streamlined external hard drive solution for your desktop storage needs, consider the WD 10TB Elements Desktop. This hard drive could very well fill that space in your home office. It offers a hefty amount of storage, Windows plug-and-play ease of use, as well as speedier transfer speeds than your typical internal HDD. I used this external hard drive over the course of several days to transfer media files and test it as a gaming hard drive as well....
Portable Devices There’s no standard definition for portable device, although the term has been in use longer than mobile device. As the name implies, a portable device is something that is small and lightweight enough to move around and carry with relative ease. Even the first laptop computer, the Osborn 1, which weighed 24 pounds, was considered a portable computer. Portable is a broad term that encompasses everything from a printer that can be carried around to a smartphone you carry in your pocket....
Much like there is a Do Not Call registry for telemarketers, internet users can request websites to withhold data from marketers, advertisers, and other prying eyes. Do Not Track Do Not Track is a privacy preference available in most web browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. This setting is an HTTP header field presented by a web browser to websites. The DNT header communicates to servers that a user reflects one of three value commands:...
The shortcut on your computer looks just like one for a local hard drive (like the C drive) with its own letter assigned to it, and opens as if it were, but all the files in the mapped drive are actually physically stored on another computer. It’s similar to a shortcut you may have on your desktop, like one used to open a picture file in your Pictures folder, but is instead used to access something from a different computer....
This switch is used to set the input voltage to the power supply to either 110v/115v or 220v/230v. In other words, it’s telling the power supply how much power is coming from the power source. What Is the Correct Power Supply Voltage? There isn’t a single answer to which voltage setting you should use because it’s determined by the country where the power supply will be used. Check the Foreign Outlet Guide by Voltage Valet for more information on what voltage to set your power supply voltage switch to....
This combination combines traditional TV functions with an operating system/platform. That allows viewers to access, manage, and view internet and network-based media content straight from their television set with no extra devices. The Difference Between a Roku TV and a Roku Streaming Stick A Roku streaming stick is a separate, handheld device that communicates wirelessly with a television set to connect you to entertainment from the internet. A Roku TV includes everything in the television instead....
Some also deliver your sleep information to your smartphone, where it can report how well you’re sleeping and offer tips on how to sleep better. Other smart beds don’t necessarily focus on improving your sleep, but instead on creating a more enjoyable experience while in bed. For example, one might come with a built-in TV or alarm. Another might offer smart bedsheets to adjust to temperature changes in the night, or feature built-in network connectivity to merge with your home automation devices....
What Is a VCF File? A file with the VCF file extension is a vCard file used for storing contact information. Besides an optional binary image, it’s plain text and might include details like the contact’s name, email address, physical address, phone number, and other identifiable details. Since it stores contact information, these files are often seen as the export/import format of some address book programs. This makes it easy to share one or more contacts, use the same contacts in different email programs or services, or back up your address book to a file....
