Apple adapted the iOS version of Safari from the desktop version that has come with Macs for many years. However, the mobile version of Safari is different in many ways. How to Use Safari in iPhone and iOS Devices To control Safari, you use the same gestures as found elsewhere on the iPhone. Swipe to scroll web pages and tap links to open web pages. But Safari also has some special features that might not have counterparts in other apps you use....
What Is the STDEV Function in Excel? In Microsoft Excel, the STDEV function and the STDEV.S function are both tools to help you estimate the standard deviation based on a set of sample data. A standard deviation is a statistical tool that tells you roughly how far each number in a list of data values varies from the average value or arithmetic mean of the list itself.

What Is the Mac Universal Clipboard? Universal Clipboard is a feature that Apple has built into the macOS and iOS that makes a copy and paste clipboard accessible to all of your compatible devices. Think of it this way: When you copy something on one of your Apple devices, it’s actually copied to all of your Apple devices, giving each of them temporary ability to paste that item. With Universal Clipboard, you can copy and paste from a Macbook Air to an iPad, from an iPhone to an iMac, from an iPhone to an iPad, and from a Mac Pro to a Macbook (or any other combination you can come up with)....

With many phones costing several hundred dollars to purchase—sometimes in the thousands if you splurge for a flagship device—having a durable device is important. Unfortunately, one of the biggest design flaws with smartphones is also one that many people love: glass touchscreens....

For a few months now, CloudKit sync has been acting up. Syncs don’t complete, data may be out of date, and some users are even seeing the cryptic error message: “Request failed with http status code 503.” The problem has gotten so bad that developers have had to inform their users or switch off sync altogether. So, is your data safe? Should you stop using iCloud completely? What if you rely on sync for your work?...

You can make them any size you prefer, but using a standard size allows you to purchase and use standard trading card pocket pages for your cards. Trading cards can be portrait or landscape orientation. Typically, the front side of the trading card is a photo of the subject, but you also can use drawings or other artwork....
The social media platform has quietly begun testing the removal of the ability to share individual posts in stories. Experts say removing this feature would impact small businesses, artists, and influencers the most, since they depend on Instagram to make money and reach a broad audience. “I’m disappointed that this simple, seemingly innocuous feature is at risk,” wrote Mary Miles, digital director for Weinberg Harris & Associates, to Lifewire in an email....
An important distinction to make is between a Wi-Fi network and a mobile phone’s wireless network. These are two different technologies, and it can be confusing when discussing 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency bands and 5G mobile networking technology, the replacement for 4G. Here’s an explanation of Wi-Fi networking that can be set up in a home using a router, the two frequency bands used, and how a dual-band home network can be set up to take advantage of both frequencies....
If you’re looking for a work-focused headset that doesn’t drop the ball on sound quality for your commute home, the Jabra Evolve2 85 is probably your best bet. Jabra has spent the last few years focusing more and more on the consumer music space, in addition to the headsets that it’s become known for. The Jabra Elite 85t earbuds are some of my favorite true wireless earbuds on the market, so I was really excited to see how the over-ear Evolve2 85 stacks up....
Krita vs GIMP: Overall Findings Both of these applications are highly-capable graphics programs, positioned above entry-level programs like MS Paint and the like. They are even listed among the top alternatives to Photoshop. And they both provide functionality that puts them in the same class. However there are minor distinctions that may cause you to choose one over the other. GIMP and Krita: Both Are Open Source and Free Both of these apps are open source projects, and therefore are completely free....
Types of Laptop Processors Laptop processors are different from their desktop counterparts due to the limited amount of power they have to run on when the laptop is not plugged into an outlet. The less power the laptop uses, the longer the system can run on the battery. Therefore, laptop processors rely on techniques like CPU scaling to adjust power usage (and thus performance) based on the tasks at hand. Most laptop users don’t need high-end processors to run productivity software....
Leica knows its core audience is more interested in rendition and looks than in high-tech. They love that these old-style rangefinders can look and handle just like Leica’s old film cameras. But because this unchanging traditionalism is a feature, it presents a dilemma—how can Leica keep people on the usual digital-goods upgrade cycle if nothing much changes? “[You] buy an M body for the luxury. Now there’s nothing wrong with buying an M due to their superb fit and finish, but let’s not kid ourselves here about what the main attraction is....

Some years back, MagicJack came on the market along with the VoIP wave and offered free phone calls to any number in the United States in Canada using a pen drive-like device plugged into your computer and your Internet modem or router to work. Now, they have a new device called MagicJack Express that does not need a computer, which works similarly to Ooma....
Peter Parker is the classic Spider-Man, of course, and there have been many, many other versions of the webhead through decades of sometimes convoluted comic book storytelling. Right now, however, Miles Morales is having a moment. Introduced in 2011, the new Spider-Man is a young, mixed-race hero with extra abilities above and beyond Parker’s original version, and he has won over fans first through the comics and then more broadly as the star of 2018’s acclaimed “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” film....
Long hours of gaming can mean sitting slouched over a desk, staring at a gaming monitor. While it’s easy to remember ergonomics for say, a keyboard or a mouse, it’s easy to forget arguably the most important piece of any home setup is actually your chair. A poor computer chair may lead to backaches, pains, and a whole mess of skeletal and muscular issues. When I began to have these symptoms, I decided it was time for a change to my chair, and got the Mavix M9 Gaming Chair for review....
The Surface Pro 9 comes in two flavors: A good old Intel x86-based version that maximizes compatibility with existing software at the expense of battery life and another with an ARM processor, which provides incredible battery life and adds 5G cellular networking to the mix. ARM has had a jittery start on Windows machines, but it looks like it’s finally ready for mainstream action. “Contrary to the popular belief that ARM is weak compared to x86 chips, which are power-hungry but can deliver powerful performance, the new ARM chips redefined this....
Today, much of a chipset’s historical work has been folded into CPUs themselves and otherwise offloaded onto a single chip on the motherboard. While there may no longer be a discrete set of chips that makes up the chipset, what chipset a motherboard has will still determine what components it supports. Does a Motherboard’s Chipset Matter? Yes, it is essential. Which chipset is on a motherboard is the main deciding factor for compatibility in a modern motherboard....
