With the more-expensive HomePod discontinued, it only makes sense for Apple to look to fill the gap with something new. A Bloomberg report noted that Apple has been working on a new speaker with screens and cameras. No details are available yet, but if Apple does make a move to smart displays, experts believe it will need to do something genuinely innovative for the device to take off and be picked up by everyday users....

Earlier this year, Carl Pei unveiled Nothing, a new tech company designed around delivering tech without any barriers. Having co-founded OnePlus—a popular Android smartphone manufacturer—in 2013, Pei’s reputation in the tech world has earned him a level of respect from many consumers. So, when the company finally announced that it planned to launch its first bit of tech in the form of a set of earbuds, I couldn’t help but find myself drawn to the news....

Social media has put us all literally in the public eye. Every time you post a picture or status update to Facebook, make a tweet, check-in to a location, etc, you could be sharing your location with potentially a huge audience. Here’s why that’s not always a good thing. Where You Are and Where You Aren’t Not only does your social media status update or location check-in information tell somebody where you currently are, but it also tells them where you aren’t....

The Octatrack comes from Sweden’s Elektron, and is perhaps one of the weirdest electronic musical instruments ever built, from its design to its music-mangling results. The Octatrack is hard to describe. It’s a step sequencer with eight tracks, but it’s also a sampler, an eight-track recorder, a MIDI sequencer, and an effects box. You can use it as a guitar looper pedal, or just as a mixer for other gear....

Apple recently said it would improve AirTag safeguards after reports of people being tracked surreptitiously using AirTags. However, some experts say Apple’s efforts won’t be sufficient to protect users. “Even with the personal safety guide released by Apple, consumers are still subject to increased risks, as it only gives consumers some tools to use if they suspect their device has been compromised,” Nabil Hannan, managing director at cybersecurity firm NetSPI, told Lifewire in an email interview....

Xiaomi has revealed its first quad-curved waterfall display. The new smartphone concept features an 88-degree curved display that Xiaomi says will let visual interfaces flow over it naturally, like water. Unlike previous phones that have featured a curved display, the unnamed concept from Xiaomi features no ports or physical buttons. Instead, the entire device is made up of this new display. “It is quite nice from a purely visual standpoint,” Andreas Johansson, a UX specialist, told Lifewire via email....

Microsoft is steadily moving towards introducing Windows 11. Numerous leaks—including an optical image file (ISO) of the OS—as well as a special event happening later in June, all have been pointing toward the update. The company also added an official end-of-support date to Windows 10, noting it no longer will provide support starting in 2025. While the end of Windows 10 might seem daunting, experts say most users really don’t have anything to worry about, at least not yet....

Why Use Xbox Video Marketplace Instead of Netflix? The obvious question is why buy or rent videos through the Xbox Marketplace instead of just using Netflix. Selection is the biggest thing. Just about every movie or TV show you could want is on the video marketplace, but not necessarily on Netflix. It also gives you the option of buying a movie and keeping it forever if you want. Both services are great, so we recommend taking advantage of both....

What Is an XLK File? A file with the XLK file extension is a backup file created in some versions of Microsoft Excel. It’s built automatically while an XLS file is being edited. Excel does this in case something goes wrong with the document. If, for example, the file is corrupted to the point that it can’t be used any longer, the XLK file acts as a recovery file. XLK files may also be created when exporting information from Microsoft Access into Excel....

While you can definitely call up tech support to help with things that are school-sanctioned, you might not find much help from the IT department if the problem is with your own personal hardware or software. Plus, calling or emailing for help, waiting on a response, and then handing over your tech might not be something you want to wait around for. See how many of these common problems you can fix on your own before asking for help....

Know What Happens When You Put Your Mac to Sleep Putting your Mac in sleep mode is such a common occurrence that few users give it much thought. They assume that sleep conserves the battery and lets users pick up where they left off. Apple supports three versions of sleep—Sleep, Hibernation, and Safe Sleep—each with its own benefits and drawbacks, but few Mac users know which version of sleep their Macs are using....

The memory installed in your computer is very sensitive. It’s always a good idea to perform a test on newly purchased RAM to check for errors. Of course, a test like this is always in order if you suspect that you may have a problem with your existing RAM. For example, if your computer doesn’t boot at all, or if it randomly reboots, you may have some problems with the memory....

Pinterest itself doesn’t allow you to schedule pins (Pinterest posts) to be posted at a particular time, but there are many third-party tools that do allow you to schedule pins. A Pinterest scheduler can help you ensure that your pins are being seen by your target audience regularly, and at the right times. Here are five great tools to use for scheduling Pinterest posts. Tailwind will suggest times to publish your pins, plus you can create multiple posts all at once from any page on the web, the Tailwind browser extension, or the Tailwind mobile app....

What Is a 60 GHz protocol? This category of wireless protocols operates in a signaling band (range) around 60 Gigahertz (GHz). These frequencies are significantly higher than those used by other wireless protocols, such as LTE (0.7 GHz to 2.6 GHz) or Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). This key difference results in 60 GHz systems having some technical advantages compared to other network protocols like Wi-Fi but also some limitations....

A new study shows machine learning—computer algorithms that improve themselves without direct programming by humans—can improve lightning forecasts. A better understanding of where lightning can strike could help predict fires started by the bolts from the sky. “Combining remotely sensed data with information, such as ground truth from previous fires, vegetation health, and dryness, AI can offer the opportunity to improve wildfire monitoring and forecasting of wildfire propagation,” Scott Mackaro, vice president of science, innovation, and development at weather forecasting company AccuWeather, who was not involved in the study, told Lifewire in an email interview....

There are lots of different types of antennas, so be sure you choose the right one for your needs. Digital or HD Antennas There really is no such thing as a digital or high definition antenna. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) says that anyone owning an antenna that is capable of receiving analog signals should be able to use that same antenna to receive digital signals. As a result, it’s a good idea to try using your old antenna before buying a new one....

Overall Findings Once you get past the very different business models, these services are very similar. They both leverage massive global cloud computing networks, they both run in web browsers on desktop computers and mobile devices, and they both work with the respective streaming hardware produced by their parent companies. Stadia offers higher 4K resolution gaming, but Luna is expected to close that gap before leaving early access. Hardware Requirements: Stadia Works With Older Operating Systems Luna and Stadia have similar requirements, but Stadia is designed to work with older operating systems....
