Defend Melee Attacks Easily Feeling kinda frightened by the big melee warrior coming towards you? Find some rocks (if you can get outside) or another object and jump onto it. Then, stand there and hurl fireballs and shoot arrows at the poor foe, who’ll be unable to defend himself. Items Slowing You Down? When you want to carry a lot of weapons, armors, potions, or miscellaneous items, but you don’t want these items in your inventory, get the indestructible horse Shadowmere from the Dark Brotherhood....

The iPad’s limit isn’t hardware capability, but a lack of pro software. The 2018 iPad Pro is still too fast for most uses, even almost three years after its launch. Except for a few exceptionally power-hungry apps, there’s almost no way to push that old iPad Pro to its limits. So, why is Apple bothering to put its M1 chip in there? Where are Final Cut, Logic, or proper Photoshop for iOS?...

Today we’re talking about the Apple Silicon M1 Mac mini with 512GB storage and 8GB RAM. There are plenty of benchmarks and other tests out there already, so we’ll look at the M1 mini in everyday use, and, specifically, how to bring it to its knees. First Impressions This thing is f-a-s-t. I’m coming from a vintage 2010 iMac (with added SSD), but my other everyday computer is an iPad Pro....

The Internet Archive now offers a virtual version of the PalmPilot you can use in your browser. For many, the Palm is a memory trip to the PDAs of the 1990s with a calendar and notepad, with some saying they miss their PalmPilots despite all the modern conveniences of smartphones. “Palm Pilots had all the functionality you needed without the clutter,” business consultant and former Palm user Ronald Osborne told Lifewire in an email interview....

The Steam Deck ships with a KDE desktop that users can access easily thanks to its Desktop mode. In fact, many users have docked it to a monitor and external peripherals to use it for their regular desktop computing tasks. That has led some aficionados to believe the Deck can go a step further, potentially helping people shed apprehensions about Linux as a desktop operating system. “It’s possible with more gamers becoming aware of Steam Deck being Linux powered,” Michael Larabel, founder and principal author of computer hardware website, Phoronix, told Lifewire in email....

Design: Basic, but clever There’s nothing striking about the design of the Archer A9. It’s gloss black, with indicator lights on the front and the ports, power switch, WPS button, and antennas located in the back. The gloss finish fingerprints and smudges easily, so I would have rather seen a matte finish, but the A9 has an intelligent design otherwise. The branding is small—not tacky or obtrusive—and the A9’s venting is cleverly designed....

The TP-Link Archer C9 AC1900 is a budget-friendly router, so it doesn’t include too many of the features you see in newer, more expensive models. It doesn’t include Alexa control or MU-MIMO technology, but it’s supposed to provide a long signal range for larger homes, as well as support fast enough speeds for online gaming and 4K media. I tested the TP-Link AC1900 alongside several other long range routers to see how well it performs in the real world....

The Twelve South Compass Pro is an iPad stand for people who want to travel light. Its compact compass design offers a few viewing angles without sacrificing stability. I tested the Compass Pro around the house and in every pocket I could find. Design: Compact and portable The Compass Pro has a compact, foldable design reminiscent of a drafting compass. When completely folded, the stand is only half an inch tall and just over seven inches long....

The long-story-short version of it is that HDR gaming on Xbox One S, Xbox One X, PS4, and PS4 Pro is worthwhile, but HDR gaming on PC is a far more fraught pursuit. If you’re a console gamer interested in checking out HDR gaming, there should be very little holding you back. Whereas PC gamers are faced with obstacle after obstacle that we can only hope will quickly be removed as HDR becomes more commonplace....

To get started, make sure you: Install batteries into the Universal Remote.Can point the Universal Remote at the TV or another device you are trying to control during programming. If this “link” is broken, you will have to restart the programming process. Direct Code Entry The easiest way to program a Universal Remote is to enter a code that identifies the product you wish to control. Codes may be provided via a “code sheet” or a web page where the codes are listed by brand and type of device (TV, Blu-ray Disc player, Home Theater Receiver, Cable Box, VCRs, and sometimes media streamers)....

This is Walmart’s second shot at the low-end tablet market, with the Tablet Pro line bringing some improvements and an increased price tag over the first generation, so I was interested to see exactly what it’s capable of. I carried an onn. 8-inch Tablet Pro with me everywhere for about a week, using it for everything from email and web browsing during the day to watching movies at night, and even a little video chatting....

About Protocols Without protocols, devices would lack the ability to understand the electronic signals they send to each other over network connections. Modern protocols for computer networking generally use packet switching techniques to send and receive messages in the form of packets, which are messages subdivided into pieces that are collected and reassembled at their destination. Hundreds of computer network protocols have been developed, each designed for specific purposes and environments....

Unlike a program that has a graphical user interface (GUI) like buttons and menus that are controlled by a mouse, a command line interpreter accepts lines of text from a keyboard as the commands and then converts those commands into functions that the OS understands. Other Names for a Command Line Interpreter Any command line interpreter program is also often referred to in general as a command line interface. Less commonly, it’s also called a CLI, command language interpreter, console user interface, command processor, shell, command line shell, or a command interpreter....

What Is a DAA File? A file with the DAA file extension is a Direct Access Archive file. They’re a lot like ISO files in that they can be full image copies of discs, but have some advantages over ISO, like compression and file splitting abilities. Some DAA files might be encrypted, protected behind a password, and even split up into smaller pieces like file.part01.daa, file.part02.daa, etc. The Direct Access Archive format is a proprietary one developed by the same people that created the disc imaging software PowerISO....

Leased lines can span short or long distances. They maintain a single open circuit at all times, as opposed to traditional telephone services that reuse the same lines for many different conversations through a process called switching. What Are Leased Lines Used For? Leased lines are most commonly rented by businesses to connect branch offices of the organization. Leased lines guarantee bandwidth for network traffic between locations. For example, T1 leased lines are common and offer the same data rate as symmetric DSL....

What Is a Roguelike? That’s a good question, and one with a complicated answer because the definition of it has become very muddied. However, the core of what a roguelike should be is that the game features levels that are procedurally generated. Your character suffers from “permadeath” – meaning that they should have to start over from some predetermined starting point fresh. Essentially, a roguelike should force you to learn its systems through the cost of failure is steep....
