Overall Findings Design: Kindle Fire Is More Comfortable There are several factors to consider when looking at the design of the tablets. The first is the size and weight of the device. Both weigh nearly the same with the Nexus 7 being a fraction thinner and a bit lighter. Holding the two side by side, it’s difficult to tell the difference. The Nexus 7 is a bit taller when held in portrait mode while the Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch is a bit wider....
The company has teamed up with television manufacturer LG to release a beta version of GeForce Now, a cloud game-streaming service, to some modern televisions, according to a press release by LG. Nvidia’s GeForce Now is already available on PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets, but this partnership with LG will deliver the service to a spate of televisions, including “select 2021 LG 4K OLED, QNED Mini LED, and NanoCell TV models....
LG has announced an initial release date for its new facemask, which includes a built-in air purifier with three fans and a HEPA-style filter. The device is set to arrive in Thailand this August, according to Engadget, which also reports that LG has yet to share a price for the mask. While LG originally unveiled the device in August 2020, it’s just now bringing the finalized version to market, and it’s adding some upgrades to the final model....
LG just revealed a pair of flagship ultra-short throw home projectors in the company’s popular Cinebeam line. The LG Cinebeam HU915QE and HU915QB 4K UHD projectors are designed for 90-inch to 120-inch images, depending on placement, and utilize LG’s proprietary three-channel laser technology that integrates a separate light source for each primary RBG color. The end result? Vivid images even during the day, especially when compared to projectors with just a single light source....
The announcement was made by the website’s Marketing Solutions team, which also stated that LinkedIn would continue to work on implementing some kind of short-form video to its service. LinkedIn also is warning advertisers that any ads planned to run between Stories will instead be placed to their feed, and any sponsored content should be remade in Campaign Manager. Stories launched last September as a part of a redesign that added integration with Zoom and Microsoft Teams to help professionals stay connected as they worked remotely over the past 18 months....

Choosing a GPS Screen Size While there are still 3.5-inch screen size GPS models on the market, you can find 4.3-inch models for barely a few dollars more across the performance and features spectrum. That precious bit of extra screen real estate makes a significant difference in visibility and ease of use of touch-screen controls. With all the available screen sizes, it is hard to recommend a 3.5-inch screen size GPS to anyone for any purpose....

The game takes various components from previous Mario Party games but if—like me—you’ve only ever dabbled in the series, Mario Party Superstars still serves as a great introduction to the party game. There’s also no need to have much experience with games before, meaning this is an ideal title to pull out when less-experienced gamers are visiting. It’s got “future holiday season tradition” written all over it. Part Board Game, Part Minigame Collection Mario Party Superstars plays out like the best kind of board game....

The Surface Adaptive Kit is essentially a bunch of stick-on accessories for Microsoft’s latest tablets. It consists of Braille-inspired tactile stickers—called bump labels—keycap labels, adhesive brackets with wrist straps, and colored port and plug labels. They’re sold as an accessibility add-on, and that’s exactly right. These make devices more accessible for anyone, and they’re so good they should be available for all devices. “I think this is one time that Microsoft got the jump on Apple....
The Monster Rancher series never quite reached the same heights as Pokemon, but it did receive five main-line titles between 1997 and 2006. It even had a number of spin-off games, and its own cartoon series. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Koei Tecmo had announced re-releases of the first two games for the Nintendo Switch, iOS devices, and Steam! While not quite the pop culture juggernaut that Pokemon turned out to be, Monster Rancher set itself apart with its focus on raising and training....
While AV1 has been available in Netflix’s streaming mobile apps since 2020, TV users have not had the option. Well, until now, because Netflix recently announced that AV1 has started streaming to compatible TVs (along with the PS4 Pro). So if your TV is AV1 ready, or if you’re running Netflix on a PS4 Pro, you might start to notice some improvements in streaming speed and quality. There’s a lot of nuance to what AV1 does and how it works, but the takeaway is that Netflix believes it will improve several aspects of streaming quality for its users....
This week, Native Union announced its Belt Cable Duo, a hammerhead cable that can charge almost any device. The absurd thing is that a basic USB-C cable could do the same job for all your devices except your iPhone and maybe an older iPad. It’s a neat illustration of what happens when “innovation” is allowed to run unchecked by the consumer protections provided by law. “Big tech companies often have a significant amount of power and influence, and it is important for governments to ensure that they are acting in the best interests of consumers and society as a whole,” social website operator and startup founder Brandon Mackie told Lifewire via email....
According to a recent announcement, the goal of the new program is to make it easier for riders to find service when they need it while also providing drivers with more fare opportunities. Uber’s Director of Business Development, Guy Peterson, stated “This is a real win for drivers—no longer do they have to worry about finding a fare during off-peak times or getting a street hail back to Manhattan when in the outerboroughs....
Cameras like the Z9 pack in an almost absurd array of options and powerful tools. A camera is no longer a simple box and lens, with a shutter to let the light in. It’s a full-fledged computer (and in the case of the Z9, it doesn’t even have a physical shutter), with all the complexity that brings. So how do pros make use of these options, and does anyone need them?...
The company just announced that they are raising the purchase price of its two flagship items. The Peloton Bike+ will increase by $500 to $2,500, and the price of the Peloton Tread will increase by $800 to $3,500. The original Peloton Bike and the AI-assistant strength trainer, Peloton Guide, are staying at $1,500 and $300, respectively. Additionally, subscription prices are also staying the same for now. This appears to be part of a massive brand overhaul for the subscription-based exercise equipment manufacturer, as the company says in the press release announcing the increases, “price is just one of the many levers we will continue to explore as part of our business transformation strategy....

ProMotion is a huge deal for the Mac. It makes everything smoother, saves battery power, and even makes old movies look better. But without a touch screen or Apple Pencil, is it as necessary on the Mac as on the iPad and iPhone? “Today, the majority of displays refresh 60 times per second (60Hz), regardless of what’s on the screen—a video game, a movie, or a text document. The ProMotion technology in the new MacBooks Pro adapts the refresh rate to match what’s on the screen,” Serg Krivoblotsky, technological R&D lead at software developer MacPaw, told Lifewire via direct message....
