Why Disable Mobile Data? There are many reasons you may want to disable mobile data on your smartphone. Out of control apps: Sometimes, you may find your phone is using a lot of data and you’re not sure why. This is usually the cause of poorly-designed or malicious apps that regularly consume data even when you’re not using your phone. Disabling mobile data will put this to an abrupt stop. Traveling off-the-grid: If you’re traveling somewhere where mobile data isn’t accessible anyway, there’s no sense leaving your mobile data turned on and having your phone regularly “pinging” cellular towers that aren’t there....
After Effect’s 3D Is 2.5D After Effects version of 3D is not really 3D as you might think of it in the terms of a Pixar movie or a video game. It’s really 2.5D — made up of objects that have height and width but not any depth although you can stack them on top of each other and create an illusion of depth. It’s much more like South Park’s style (although South Park is created in Maya)....
It Starts With Task View The key starting point for multiple desktops is Windows 10’s Task View. The easiest way to access it is the icon to the right of Cortana on the taskbar — it looks like a big rectangle with a smaller rectangle on each side of it. Alternatively, you can tap the Windows key+Tab. Task View is a better-looking version of Alt+Tab. It shows all your open program windows at a glance, and it lets you choose between them....
What is the LOOKUP Function? The LOOKUP function in Excel is used to look up information in a row or column.

There are two ways to write a LOOKUP formula in Excel depending on your needs....

How Do I Stream TikTok to My TV? If you have a supported device, you can install TikTok right on your TV, log in to your account, and watch videos on the big screen. If you don’t have a TV that works like that, the other option is to use the app normally on your phone, tablet, or computer, but then use screen mirroring to show the videos on your TV....
iRig, iRig 2, and iRig 2 HD2 The original iRig guitar interface was introduced in 2010 and allowed guitar and bass players to plug their guitars into an iOS device and, with the help of an app like IK’s AmpliTude or GarageBand, practice and record as if they were playing in a studio. The original iRig let you plug your guitar into your iPad, included a pre-amp for improved tone, and came with the free AmpliTube software, which added amp simulation, a Noise Filter, and a Delay effect....
The Elite 85t earbuds are quite possibly Jabra’s best foot forward into the audio space. The Elite line has been a key AirPod competitor since the 65t, and they improved vastly on the design and build quality with the updated Elite 75t versions last year. Conversely, the newer Elite 85t earbuds look almost exactly the same as the 75ts, at least on the surface. When it comes to emulating a pair of true wireless earbuds, you can do a lot worse than the Elite 75ts, so it’s not really a problem that they didn’t update the form factor....

Chromebooks and 2-in-1 laptop/tablet hybrid devices both aim to offer the best of two worlds. A 2-in-1 offers the intuitive touchscreen-based experience of a tablet with the productivity advantages of a physical keyboard. A Chromebook can look and feel like a premium quality product but carry a low budget price tag. The Lenovo Chromebook Duet aims to offer all this versatility and value in one convenient package. Design: Stylish exterior The Lenovo Duet is certainly attractive, with a two-tone blue and black finish, a subtle camera bump on its front, and reasonably discrete bezels around its screen....
The P11 Pro is Lenovo’s latest attempt at a truly premium Android-based tablet. And, while the build quality and spec sheet do make a compelling case for the “Pro” distinction, the experience of using the tablet might just leave something to be desired. To be fair, the Android tablet space isn’t exactly reliable—forcing users to dip well into the budget Kindle Fire territory or shell out major cash for something from the Galaxy Tab S lineup....
Locket is a kind of super-private social network, one that lets you share photos direct to your friends’ iPhone home screens. It works like this: You add the app’s widget to your Home Screen, and then any of your friends can send you a picture, and it shows up right there in the widget. It’s a fantastic idea, and one which is, apparently, going totally viral right now. But of course, such easy access to such a public spot on your iPhone could also get you fired or divorced....
Design: Large and in charge The RBS50Y is a chunky piece of plastic. It’s significantly bulkier than you’d expect a Wi-Fi extender to be, but for a device that’s meant to stand up to the elements, it’s heavy plastic exterior is certainly reassuring. The RBS50Y features an IP66 rating ensures that it’s capable of withstanding rain, snow, or sprinklers. The exterior is plain and mostly utilitarian. It has no ethernet or USB ports that might compromise its waterproof exterior, and controls are limited to power, sync, reset, and indicator light buttons....
The app, called Bond, is coming to market at a time when the world seems fraught and some crime rates are rising. The cost is $30 for 30 minutes. “The Bond platform is designed for the large and growing number of situations ordinary people find themselves in—walking alone at night, getting the car in a dark parking garage, encountering strangers with no one around, worrying about unsupervised children,” Doron Kempel, founder and CEO of Bond said in an email interview....
While Nintendo may be one of the most popular gaming companies today, dominating the 2020 market with their Switch sales, Nintendo’s origins are a bit more humble—and celebrated, with the release of the newly minted Nintendo Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. handheld. It was in the 1980s when Nintendo truly established itself in the competitive video gaming market, solidifying their household name with the release of the Game & Watch in 1980 and later Super Mario Brothers in 1985....
