But not all apps are created equal. While something like Twitter isn’t that resource-intensive, mobile games can eat away at graphical capabilities and battery life. Tap or click here for three ways to get more life out of your iPhone or Android battery. There is a hidden side to mobile apps, though. Several applications that seem innocuous are the biggest culprits for your phone battery draining to a minimum. It isn’t always obvious, but apps that utilize many internal functions cause the most chaos....

I first experienced spatial audio with the Apple AirPods Pro and loved it even more on the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Dolby Head Tracking is a similar head-tracking sound feature and the LG Tone FREE T90Q is the world’s first Dolby Atmos earbuds to have it. That said, I’ve been quite impressed by the earbuds’ comfortability, long battery life, and bacteria-killing UV light. But are they worth the $229 asking price?...

However, to improve rates of data transfer within limited bandwidth is necessary to apply digital modulation techniques, such as modulation Quadrature amplitude (QAM). The THz band is a frequency that currently is not commonly used for wireless communications. It is characterized by employing frequencies even higher than those used by millimeter wave networks in the range of 57 to 66 GHz, as well as having a much wider bandwidth. Thanks to these qualities, the THz band is perfect for high-speed communications, and the device designed this group of researchers can implement them....

To me, paperback and hardcover books are special: The smell of their pages, the sound of flipping through them, and the weight of a really big book in your hands. But in the interest of tech (and my job), I decided to give the new Kindle a shot. I’m happy to report that I’m a fully converted Kindle reader. The new 2022 entry-level Kindle comes with a lot of upgrades, making it a bit more competitive with more expensive models like the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Oasis e-readers....

Earlier this year, Huawei launched one of the more attractive options when it comes to Android Wear-based smartwatches with the Huawei Watch. And now the company is at it again with another variant of the round-faced wearable. The company has just announced the Rose Gold Huawei Watch, which features a 22k Rose Gold (not pink) plated stainless steel case with a “coin edge” top ring. The strap is alligator brown leather, and the display, like the other Huawei Watch variants, is sapphire glass....

We highlighted the issue as far back as January when Apple updated supporting documentation for the newly launched iPhone 12 about potential health risks. The magnets also affected other medical devices like defibrillators and hearing aids. At the time, Apple advised users to keep any MagSafe magnets at least six inches away from their medical device. The American Heart Association (AHA) launched an investigation into the matter, and it agrees with Apple....

Apart from all these things, Skype is one of the most used chat applications. The purchase that the tech giant Microsoft made was right and this is today the main communication tool of the tech giant Microsoft. However, recently a flaw revealed a fragility in Skype, which will not be resolved soon. According to the tech giant Microsoft, the work needed to solve it is too much and you will have to stay or wait simply to get the tech giant Microsoft’s solution or patch for Skype....

Fixing the new HTC One is easier than its predecessor, iFixit says, but the One M8 is still a terrible patient for non-factory fixes. The device earned an incredibly low score of 2 out of 10 on iFixit’s repairability scale. That suckiness is still good enough to put the One M8 ahead of the original HTC One, which scored a 1 from iFixit, but if repairablity matters most to you then you’re better off with pretty much anything else—though poor repairability is one of the prices paid for today’s ultra-thin, ultra-slim hsets....

The companies leading the wearables category have not changed, with Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Imagine Marketing still at the forefront. However, out of these leading companies, four of the top five experienced declines compared to the year prior during the second quarter. Despite the decline, the leaders continue to add new wearable models to the market. This month, Apple introduced three new smartwatches to its portfolio, and last month Samsung dropped its latest Samsung Galaxy Watch5....

Researchers at Splunk tested how quickly 10 major ransomware strains encrypted networks – and some were much more effective than others at doing the job quickly, something that makes the attackers harder to stop. The fastest form of ransomware is LockBit, which took a median time of just 5 minutes and 50 seconds to encrypt 100,000 files. In one of the tests, it only took LockBit 4 minutes and 9 seconds to encrypt the files measuring in at 53....

This cyber-attack, which was supposed to be secret, was revealed by the site NBC News and reports which have been requested by the White House to the CIA. It will be a massive force in response to a recent attack that Russia will have done against the United States and, in particular, against the electoral system. The national convention of the Democratic Party have been the target of an attack and, hence, will result in the publication of 20,000 emails, personal information and on taxpayers....

The Moto 360 officially went on sale today, September 5, but it didn’t stay available for long, according to a new report, and with Motorola confirming as much on its own. The initial report of the Moto 360, Motorola’s brand new Android Wear-based smartwatch, going out-of-stock was published by Re/code, and subsequently Motorola confirmed as much. But, it didn’t just sell out on Google Play Store, where it was made available at noon EST....

One note to arcade gamers out there – I’m not like you. A racing game which involves lasers, explosions, high speed collisions and impossible driving lines isn’t for me. The emphasis here is on driving and not on distraction! Here then are my top 5 driving games, something for everyone and each title a winner. This is a real world review, I’ve play-tested the titles listed below for hours. Oops!...

Data loaded by soldiers on the Strava platform in November 2017 uncovered secret US military bases in the Middle East. The news was advanced by The Guardian and reveals that the soldiers shared sensitive information certainly without realizing it. According to the publication, there is a shared map in 2017 that shows the United States’ secret military bases in the Middle East, making them easily identifiable and evident on a dark map....

It is interesting to know that the company has already unveiled the game in codename “Canis Majoris” earlier in October’s long-term plan announcements. CD Projekt Red Already Revealed The Witcher Remake In Codename CD Projekt Red’s report noted that they are working on an ultimate remake of the 2007’s The Witcher game. Also, there’s a fun fact that the game was actually released on the same day. And we can expect the remake of the game to adopt such immersive graphics as it is being built with Unreal Engine 5, and its progression is going on by the Polish studio Fool’s Theory....

The Honor 8 Pro, which some say was launched in China as the V9 earlier this year, and comes with some formidable specs – a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, 6 GB RAM, 64 GB and 128 GB storage variants, dual 12.0-megapixel shooters, and a massive 4000 mAh battery. The phone is powered by Huawei’s own Kirin 960 processor, runs the company’s recently released EMUI interface, and comes with a slim, curvy design, although not with the dazzling mirror finish that marked the rather dishy Honor 8....

Well, it speaks volumes about the confusing relationship between the two brands in India that many would not have been surprised to see both brands launch devices at the event on the same day. After all, in the past, notwithstanding all the claims to being different brands, both Huawei and Honor product launches had seen broadly the same set of presenters and personnel. Mind you, this time around, the people on stage were different, but that did not change the feeling among many people that the differences between the brands were not exactly crystal clear....

The listing of the last Google Play edition device — the HTC One M8 GPe — was removed from the Play Store earlier today. Over the last few months, Google has been slowly removing the listing of all GPe devices from its online store, including the Z Ultra, the Galaxy S4 and the Moto G. At the moment, it is unclear if Google and carriers will launch new GPe devices in the future or if the program is completely dead....

Had the pandemic not forced me to stay home, I probably would’ve snagged the MacBook Air M1 two years ago. It was one of the first devices to feature Apple’s M1 chipset, and benchmark tests proved that the lightweight MacBook could throw down against heavyweight, Intel-based computers – including Apple’s own MacBook Pro. For such a huge gap in performance, speed, and efficiency, it was hard to believe that Apple was selling the laptop for just $999....

Well, the “Free” tags are just temporary. Google just decided to help developers to set apps temporarily free. Game and apps developers are now using this feature to promote their apps and games with limited-time promotions. Previously we have shared an article in which we had listed several icon packs which are set to ‘Free” on Play store. However, those icon packs are back to their original price. The latest app to carry a free tag in Play store is A Dark Room....
