However, the Bold N1 still features a robust 16MP camera sitting atop a 5MP depth-sensing companion sensor packaged with MediaTek Helio P70’s AI capabilities for post-processing....

For most systems, our experts think you should just buy the BIC Acoustech PL-200 II Subwoofer. With its simplistic black and copper color scheme, the PL-200 II is an attractive addition to a home theater system, and at less than $300, it’s still (just about) budget friendly. Wattage: 250 RMS, 1,000 Peak | Driver Size: 12-inch | Direction: Front-firing Our reviewer was impressed with the design, as the MDF cabinet has a black-ash finish that makes it look like solid wood, but she felt it lacked the punchiness that some other woofers provided....

The promise is portability when you want it and performance when you need it. However, Windows tablets tend to lean toward one end of this spectrum or the other.

If you want to buy some wireless Apple headphones, you now have four choices. If we discount the big, over-the-ear AirPods Max, then we’re left with three models—the new AirPods 3, the AirPods Pro, and the old AirPods 2, which are still on sale at a new, lower price.

They let you search for pictures, browse through galleries, and even run a reverse photo search to find a picture that looks like the one you have....

Criminals or hackers can use that data for social engineering attacks....

One problem with using USB cables for charging is that they also carry data, in and out of your phone, including malware (in) and private information (out).

But ask yourself this. If you were to deploy a cable to catch the largest number of people, where would you leave it?...
