Wi-Fi is the most frequently used means of communicating data wirelessly in a fixed location. It’s a trademark of the ​Wi-Fi Alliance, an international association of companies involved with wireless LAN technologies and products....

So what are you supposed to do if you can’t afford to pay a mechanic to tear out your entire dash to replace a busted heater core, or you drive an older vehicle with long-since obsoleted components and no new-old-stock in sight? Universal Under-Dash and Auxiliary Car Heaters If you find yourself in one of the situations outlined above, you can always try to get by with some kind of alternative 12V car heater, or just bundle up extra tight for your commute, but it doesn’t have to be that way....

While these changes in form might be intuitive or even explained explicitly to the character in each Pokemon game’s origin, in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, many of the processes needed to change these Pokemon’s forms are fairly obtuse. In this guide, we’ll cover every Pokemon that changes form in ways other than evolution, how to obtain them, and what you must do to perfect their unique abilities....

Why Use the Facebook Pages Manager When You Can Do Everything From the Facebook App? Facebook has come a long way in making its Pages section intuitive and useful.

There is also a Create Post field and a snapshot of Updates, Insights, and Recent Posts beneath it.

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of options on the market, but today I’m taking a look at the Vyncs GPS Tracker to see how it stacks up against other trackers out there. Over the course of a month, I used the Vyncs unit to track more than 1,000 miles of driving, totaling more than 20 hours of driving. Below I’ve shared my thoughts on the overall experience, from the second I opened the box until my trip odometer tripped over its three-digit limit, marking the 1,000-mile mark....

Proc stands for Programmed Random Occurrence. How Proc Is Used Proc is a computer gaming term that rhymes with “dock.” Proc is used as both a noun and a verb to describe whenever a random gaming item activates or a random gaming event occurs. Particularly common in massively multiplayer online games, procs are random events where special armor or weapons provide the user with temporary extra powers or whenever the opposing character suddenly becomes more powerful in some way....

What’s the Difference? Columns run vertically, up and down. Most spreadsheet programs mark columns headings with letters. Rows, then, are the opposite of columns and run horizontally. Rows are numbered, not lettered. One easy way to remember the difference between columns and rows is to think about real-world scenarios. A column on a building is a large, vertical pillar, while the rows of a corn field are long aisles. How They Work Together The standard way to talk about any specific cell in a worksheet is to explain its column and row since that’s the only way the cells are organized....

Bridge Camera vs. DSLR Bridge cameras have easy-to-handle camera bodies, as do DSLRs, so many people confuse the two. Though these cameras may look similar, bridge cameras differ from DSLRs.

Businesses can also have channels. These channels are different from personal channels because they can have more than one owner or manager....

What Is an AVIF File? An AVIF file is an image in the AV1 Image file format. Similar to JPEG, it uses compression in an attempt to retain quality at a smaller file size. Unlike JPEG, AVIF files have a larger quality to compression ratio, so they can stand to be much smaller without the same quality loss. The AV1 compression technology that this image format uses is royalty-free. So there are zero licensing fees, meaning that compressing and decoding files can be done without paying royalties....

What Is an EASM File? A file with the EASM file extension is an eDrawings assembly file. It’s a representation of a computer-aided design (CAD) drawing, but it isn’t the full, editable version of the design.

Apple Arcade is Apple’s game subscription service. A subscription fee of $5 per month gets you access to over 180 games, some of which are worth playing. There are no in-app purchases and no ads. The focus is on “casual” pick-up-and-play games, but there are lots of in-depth titles, too. The problem with Apple Arcade, though, is that it’s not clear what it wants to be. Is it a premium tier, above the rubbish in the App Store?...

How HD Radio Works Since HD Radio technology allows radio stations to continue broadcasting original analog signals, there’s no need to update your radio hardware. Unlike the highly visible switch from analog television broadcasts to a digital standard, there are no plans to eradicate analog radio broadcasts....

Then you can connect with friends or check out your weekly musical “neighbors.” Groups and events are available as well.

SharePoint as an Improved File Drive Some years ago, cutting-edge Microsoft collaboration had two components: Exchange, which powered email and shared calendars, and network file drives. These drives, which you might remember had drive letters such as “S” and “X,” housed files your whole team could access, but only one person could edit them at a time. As a workaround, you could copy them to your local machine and edit there....
