The Dock410 is a universal USB-C docking station which is designed to be used with the new generation of laptops that have USB-C ports. Since the connection to the laptop must be with a USB-C cable, the Dock410 can’t be used with older laptops that don’t have USB-C. Note that USB-C isn’t exactly the same as Thunderbolt 3, although they look identical and are compatible with each other. But USB-C (Gen 2 v3....

That said, we’re looking forward to seeing what Apple does with the Apple Watch 2 as we suspect it will have held back some good stuff in order to avoid peaking too soon. There’s a long wish list of things we’d like to see in the next model including better battery life, GPS, built-in Wi-Fi, improved fitness tracking and most of all, a round option. Read more about the Apple Watch 2....

The Two Types of Public Wi-Fi There are basically two kinds of public Wi-Fi networks: secured and unsecured. Unsecured networks can be connected to within range and without any type of security feature like a password or login. A secured network requires a user to agree to legal terms, register an account, or type in a password before connecting to the network. It may also require a fee or store purchase to be made to gain access to the password or network....

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt review: Storyline and side quests Witcher 3 starts, as many games do, with a tutorial that introduced us to the mechanics of the game and the combat system. Despite being a bit slow to start, with conversations that you want to skip to get into the action, the tutorial gave us a taste of what was to come – and we liked it. It also introduced us to the main characters in Witcher 3: Geralt, Yennifer and Ciri, which is great for those of you (like us) that didn’t play Witcher 1 and 2 because there are more characters in Witcher 3 than you’ll be able to remember....

The screen does not detach but instead is designed to be a unique 2-in-1 that offers a traditional laptop form factor with the added benefit of an E Ink screen for reading, presenting, and lower power consumption. Last year’s ThinkBook Plus had an 8in LCD screen right next to the keyboard. Aimed at businesses, the new Plus Twist has a 13.3in 60Hz 2.8K OLED touchscreen with pen support when you want to go full laptop mode....

Kuo also says that the first computers to use the new architecture will be a 13in MacBook Pro and a redesigned iMac (via 9to5Mac). The analyst, who is usually right about these things, thinks these new products will launch between Q4 2020 and Q1 2021. He expects performance improvements of 50-100% on older Intel chips. If this is possible, it could prove transformative for the Mac line, which has lost ground to Windows machines in sales, design and performance in recent years....

While Devolo has surged ahead with its gigabit Powerline in the form of the Devolo dLan 1200+ adapters TP-Link is sticking with the less-speedy but probably all you need 500Mbps systems that are becoming an increasingly popular way of creating fast home networks for smart TVs, games consoles and Sky+ and Tivo boxes that all are enhanced with a wired Ethernet network connection. Setting up a Powerline home network is so easy it’s hard to believe....

In this guide, let us take you through the steps to turn your Android phone’s home screen into a TV remote so that you can control your Android TV without opening any apps. Add Android TV Remote Widgets on Home Screen Now, this will not be quite like having a big Android TV remote app widget on your home screen. But you can still use your phone as a TV remote....

The game follows the first two official UFC titles which were solid attempts at emulating the UFC in a video game. Happily, this third title takes several steps forward with changes to the combat system, and a career mode that is much more fleshed out. However, EA can’t seem to pull themselves away from some fairly gross microtransactions which are sadly now a staple in EA Sports titles, and this can’t help but leave a bad taste in your mouth....

Whether you’re buying a SIM for a child or teen, the number of providers and plans to choose from can make the whole decision a daunting task.

Furthermore, the company released the XXU1ASE7 software update with various enhancements and fixes. In this guide, we’ll manually flash official Android 9 Pie Stock firmware on Samsung Galaxy S10e SM-G970F. Moreover, this Stock ROM is based on Android version 9.0 Pie with build number G970FXXU1ASE7. Furthermore, this is an Indian OTA update with April 2019 security patch....

Note that as this is an official update rolled out by Samsung so there are no chances of losing your device warranty. Also as this is an OTA update, the same will work on both rooted as well as unrooted devices. This Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread XXLG1 firmware was released for several regions over Samsung KIES, but those who were not able to download the new update can use our complete step by step tutorial to manually flash it on their Galaxy Y Pro smartphone....

Who doesn’t enjoy those GoPro videos of crazy extreme sports action? Sadly we’re as unlikely to be jumping out of planes, biking along cliff ridges and paragliding off ski slopes as we are able to cough up the £200-£400 for the camera. And if we can afford a GoPro I doubt we’d entrust it to a bunch of reckless or clumsy kids rushing off to the park, skateboard under arm....

Microsoft announced the return of PowerToys in 2019, as an enhanced set of tools aimed at maximising productivity and adding customisation to your experience. What are PowerToys? PowerToys are a series of subtle UI tweaks aimed at improving productivity and enhancing the user experience. They mainly consist of shortcuts and workaround, but also offer extensive scope for customisation. PowerToys were originally introduced back on Windows 95, before being dropped with the move to Windows 7 in 2009....

Bixby was originally introduced with the Galaxy S8 in 2017, but without Bixby Voice (an English version of which came later with the Note 8) it was difficult to see why you might want to use it over the Google Assistant that is also built into Samsung phones. Now that we’ve seen it as it was intended, Bixby does have some genuine use cases over the Google Assistant. Not only is it tightly integrated to the Samsung-specific features within the company’s handsets, but it also supports useful features such as Bixby Vision....

Let’s see how to get the best out of the live text on iPhone. What Is Live Text on iPhone? If you already know about Google Lens, the Live Text on iOS 15 is just another Google Lens from Apple. It lets you identify texts from any images, camera, and surfaces in an instant. You can copy text, phone numbers, and pretty much anything from an image or using the iPhone camera....

This was widely expected to change in 2021, with the big ‘Sun Valley’ update bringing wholesale changes. Many of these features arrived, but in a brand-new version – Windows 11. It’s a free upgrade, too, making the prospect of Windows 10’s 21H2 update far less exciting. It’s officially live now for all users, but there are only three minor changes to talk about – that’s the same as the May 21H1 update from earlier in the year....

The company has built a dedicated subsystem within Windows 11 to enable it, which is available across all platforms – every Intel, AMD and Qualcomm-powered device will be supported, provided it’s compatible with the new OS. Microsoft is also trying to make it easier for developers to create mobile apps for Windows 11. Tools for debugging and testing early versions of apps are also being previewed. However, it’s not clear when we’ll see support for other third-party app stores such as the Epic Games Store....
