I loved when iOS started automatically grouping apps in the App Library, because I have always been a fan of keeping apps in the same category together. There are two kinds of iPhone users in the world: those who go through their folders to find an app, and those who search for the app by name. Also: How to AirPlay to a TV I am definitely in the first group....
Also: iPhone 14 models compared: Which one should you buy? How to preorder the yellow iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus The yellow iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are officially available on Tuesday, March 14, but you can preorder them starting today, March 10, with deliveries beginning early next week. Apple, along with its carrier and retail partners, is offering trade-in promotions when you preorder either model, even if you end up getting a different color....
Case in point, Firefox tabs. How many times have you been working like a fiend, only to accidentally close a tab you were working on? Or maybe Firefox decided it was time to give up the ghost and when you finally get it to reopen, all of your tabs have vanished into the ether. It happens. I’ve had it happen to me on several occasions. (My wife has it happen more often with Chrome....
The curated algorithms and beautiful graphics my Samsung Z Flip 4 offers make it just so hard to look away. But I’m sick of missing important plot lines because I’m mindlessly looking at a TikTok recipe I’m probably never going to make. So, I’ve been limiting my screen time on my Android by setting screen times. I find it’s a good way to still participate in social media but also let me know when enough is enough....
But in 2023, the expectations are higher than ever for what manufacturers and Google can achieve together, especially with Apple pressing forward with what can only be M3-powered MacBooks later this year. Enter HP’s Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, an Intel-equipped laptop that the company believes will win the hearts of consumers during the hybrid era of work and play. Without spoiling the review, this is quite possibly the most ambitious Chromebook I’ve tested....
Huawei’s P-series phones have consistently offered excellent photography features, and the P50 Pro, which costs €1,199 in Europe (~$1,353), looks to continue that tradition. But is that enough? Design Huawei is known for its excellent industrial design and exemplary build quality, within the slab-of-glass smartphone paradigm. With the P50 Pro, the visual highlight is the large cartouche-shaped camera bump at the back, on the left-hand side, within which there are two large circular lens housings: the top one contains wide angle, ultra-wide angle and monochrome cameras, while the bottom one is home to a periscope telephoto camera (more on these below)....
The model strayed from the bog-standard rectangular prism shape of most PC cases since time immemorial by adding an extra bend at the front left corner. Stranger yet, the entire corner, front, and side of the case were all tempered glass. The result was an aquarium-like case that showed off all the hard work you did when building your PC better than just about any other case could. Also: Nvidia’s latest Studio Laptop series showcases its fastest, most powerful GPUs Now, Hyte is back with a new take on the same philosophy that bows, just a little, to the traditionalists....
Also: The best earbuds right now And I tried so many different pairs. I even had one company (that shall remain nameless) challenge me on this. They sent four pairs of their headphones and promised there was no way I could go through them. It took one August to sweat through each pair. Yeah, I’m that profuse a sweater. After going through a few more “traditional” types of earbuds, I decided to go a different route with bone-conducting headphones....
In its response to the Productivity Commission’s right-to-repair draft report, IGEA knocked back support for several of the recommendations that were put forward. These include enabling the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to develop and publish estimates of the minimum expected durability for products, such as video game consoles and devices, and requiring manufacturers to include additional mandatory warranty text that state entitlements to consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) do not require consumers to use authorised repair services or spare parts....
The chip manufacturer originally purchased Mobileye in 2017 for $15.3 billion. The Israel-based firm was initially intended for integration into Intel’s own autonomous driving unit. Mobileye brought with it a variety of technologies and patents aimed at using camera-based systems to aid in self-driving features like lane-assist and intelligent cruise control. Mobileye’s ambitions also include an expansion into full self-driving car systems relying on LIDAR and other in-development technologies. While it builds toward its self-driving vehicle goals, Mobileye continues to sign agreements with major automakers, most recently adding Volkswagen and Ford to the list of companies integrating its newest technologies into their cars....
The new chip is shrunk in half in a more-advanced process node, now measuring 31 square millimeters, yet it contains one million artificial spiking neurons, eight times as many as its predecessor. And the chip gains new flexibility by having more more extensive micro-code underlying the operation of the spiking neurons. Loihi, pronounced “low-EE-he,” is named for a Hawaiian sea mount, a young volcano, “that is emerging from the sea anytime now,” as Mike Davies, Intel’s director of neuromorphic computing, puts it....
A lot of very serious pro work can be done with that hypothetical Mac Mini Pro. Work that might not be possible with one Mac Mini Pro certainly could be done with a large array of them. Certain big data projects could use a couple of racks of Mac Mini Pro boxes, talking over 10GB Ethernet, to map and reduce many parallel operations. Given how capable the Mac Mini Pro is, and how it’s possible to do some very big projects by ganging them together, what might a Mac Pro add?...
Non-GAAP earnings per share came to $1.97. Revenue was $2.56 billion, up 41% from $1.8 billion in the prior year, including the addition of Credit Karma. Analysts were looking for earnings of $1.68 per share on revenue of $2.32 billion. “We had a very strong fourth quarter capping off an outstanding fiscal 2021,” CEO Sasan Goodarzi said in a statement. “Our momentum continues across the company with accelerated innovation focused on our customers’ most important needs while creating durable growth opportunities for Intuit in the future....
In addition to creating a reliable supply, the duo also managed to shrink the size of individual qubits down to “a microscopic scale.” According to the company, the result is a way to create quantum computers small enough to be networked together. Also: IonQ to go public via SPAC deal, becomes quantum computing pure play Peter Chapman, President and CEO of IonQ, called the accomplishments a “fundamental step in the mass commercialization of quantum computing....
Fortunately, iOS 15 gives you a number of tools to help you diagnose battery issues, and here we’ll take a tour of them and see how you can use them to find out whether you iPhone’s battery actually needs replacing, or whether the problem is down to an app, your charger, or a faulty cable. Battery Health First thing to check is battery health. To do this visit Settings > Battery > Battery Health....
If the whole world operated on a logical basis, it would surely be the dullest place. Why, then, does everyone assume that the next iPhone will be called iPhone 13? Is it because the annual release of iPhones has become a touch prosaic? Don’t they remember that Samsung was daring enough to skip ten whole numbers and go from the S10 to the S20? I only ask because the canny surveyors at phone marketplace SellCell asked Apple users the questions no one seems to have asked: what would they like the next iPhone to be called?...
Don’t panic! I’ve had my iPhone since day 1 (actually, day 2, thanks DHL), and last night was the first night where the Optimized Battery Charging feature actually did its thing. First, what is Optimized Battery Charging? Must read: Best portable power banks of 2021: Zendure, Anker, and more This is a feature that Apple introduced to iOS to reduce battery wear by regulating overnight charging so that the iPhone charges up to 80 percent rapidly, then stays there until the morning, where it trickle charges the last bit of charge....
For for what is essentially the most powerful, most sophisticated smartphone in the world, the launch was boring. Why? Because Apple has no competition. Nothing comes close. Tech is exciting when companies are actively competing against one another. That’s when we see real pushing back of boundaries. But what we saw today was an event where Apple was shadowboxing against an image of itself a year ago. Because Apple doesn’t have any serious competition....
A master’s degree in computer science incorporates theoretical content and practical activities and builds on existing knowledge and skills. Most computer science master’s degree students have a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field. With a master’s degree, computer science professionals can advance to managerial and leadership roles. A master’s in computer science also allows for increased specialization within the larger discipline. Here are some things to consider while you determine if a master’s in computer science is right for you and find the best one to meet your needs....
Of course, it’s a bit of a mischaracterization to talk about robots “seeing,” or at least a reductive shorthand for a complex interplay of software and hardware that’s allowing robots to do much more sophisticated sensing with much less costly equipment. Machine vision incorporates a variety of technologies and increasingly relies on software in the form of machine learning and AI to interpret and process data from 2D sensors that would have been unachievable even a short time ago....
