The ZTE Blade A3Y is a budget phone from Yahoo Mobile that slides right into the very bottom of the budget market. This is Yahoo Mobile’s first exclusive handset, but it’s basically the ZTE Blade A3 Prime that was released earlier this year. Specifications are pretty pedestrian, with a quad-core MediaTek processor, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage, but it has some nice features for such an inexpensive device....

Modern games rarely bind commands to the navigation keys and numpad, so why not cut them off and keep the mouse close at hand? That’s the theory behind 60 percent keyboards like the HyperX Alloy Origins 60. Though small in size, it serves up HyperX Red linear mechanical key switches, which are tuned for rapid actuation, plus customizable RGB backlighting, and memory for up to three onboard key profiles....

What FakeCatcher does differently, which Intel believes makes it more unique, is to look at the video itself rather than the raw data behind it.

In iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey, Live Text is everywhere: in screenshots, in your Photos library, and even in text-input areas. What it does is recognize words in any image, then turn them into regular text. From there, you can select it, copy it, share it, look it up, and even translate it. Live Text also brings Apple’s “data detectors” to the party, so you can tap a telephone number in a photo of a store sign, for example, then call it with the phone app....

Or more useful, anyway. “You could, in fact, print out a billboard-size image from a 48MP sensor, which is quite remarkable from a smartphone camera,” Mark Condon, the CEO and founder of Shotkit, told Lifewire via email....

The cylinder chassis with a directionally fired main driver and two gimmicky pulsing “subs” on the ends of the device has been the go-to design for JBL for a few generations, but it’s also been copied by the likes of Ultimate Ears and countless overseas manufacturers....

However, there are a couple of areas where Kaspersky falls short of the mark. The first is in iOS offerings.

The Yoga Tab 13 looks to be the same model as the 13-inch Yoga Pad Pro, which was released in China earlier this year, with the biggest difference being global availability; the Yoga Tab 13 will become available globally in July. The Yoga Tab 13 will likely work very well as an external monitor for other devices like the Nintendo Switch, in addition to its more standard functions. The Yoga Tab 13 features a built-in stand that allows you to adjust the viewing angle when placed on a surface, but also functions as both a carrying handle and a way to hang it on the wall....
