Introduced in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, ADMX files, sometimes called Administrative Template XML-Based files, specify which registry keys in the Windows Registry are changed when a certain Group Policy setting is changed. For example, one ADMX file might prevent users from accessing Internet Explorer. The information for this block is located in the ADMX file which in turn is reflected in the registry. How to Open an ADMX File ADMX files are structured the same as XML files and so you can follow the same open/edit rules....

I was excited to try out Adonit’s new Note-M ($79) because frankly, I have too many peripherals on my desk. This gadget works both as a mouse and a stylus in one Bluetooth-connected package. I was impressed with its smooth performance and easy setup. Out of the box, the Note-M looks like a meaner Apple Pencil in a sleek black metal frame. The 6.5 inches long and 1.5 inches around stylus feels better than the Apple Pencil too with its subtly textured surface....

Messages and iMessage Messages is the default texting app for iOS on any iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It lets you do all the basic things you’d expect: Send texts, photos, emojis, and all the other standard texting stuff. On the other hand, iMessage is an Apple-specific set of features and tools that are built on top of Messages. The advanced features used in Messages come from iMessage. You can use other apps to send texts from your iPhone, but if you want to use all of iMessage’s features, your only option is to use the Messages app....

Although there are a few ways to deal with a shortage of power (including additional batteries and stiffening capacitors), a high output alternator is the only way to address the problem. These high-powered units put out higher amperages than factory alternators and are available from aftermarket manufacturers, rebuilders, and OEMs. What Qualifies as a High Output Alternator? Since factory alternators aren’t uniform in terms of power output, the term high output alternator is going to be relative to the original amperage rating of a vehicle....

The Canon PowerShot SX70 HS is one of those rare cameras that seems to do everything well, with only a few minor caveats. It has a respectable 65X zoom range from 21-1365mm (35mm equivalent), which allows you to capture everything from landscapes and portraits to close-up photos of wildlife and sporting events. It is compact, solidly built, and one of the most ergonomic cameras you can buy. We put the PowerShot SX70 HS to the test to see if its performance justifies its premium price....

Hourly Rates In general, charging an hourly rate is best for work that’s considered an update, such as changes to a website after launch or revisions to an existing print design for additional uses. It also can be the right choice for a small project, especially for one that’s particularly difficult to estimate. Flat Rates Charging a flat rate is common for large design projects, and for repeating projects for which the designer can accurately estimate the hours....

Can You See History on Chromecast? The Chromecast itself doesn’t store a historical log or record of what’s been played on the device. Simply put: There isn’t a menu you can look through to see viewing history on Chromecast. There’s no need to worry someone can see what you were doing on the Chromecast after you’re done using it. For example, if you’re casting a video from the Chrome browser to your bedroom TV, and then shut off the video and disconnect it from the Chromecast, someone who uses the Chromecast after you won’t be able to see what you were watching....

But what Apple wants is only part of the issue. After years of conflicting rulings and laws, unlocking was officially legalized in July 2014 when President Obama signed a bill on the subject. Despite opposition from Apple, jailbreaking has been popular with some people and a subject of interest for many more. Jailbreaking has declined as Apple has added many features that jailbreaking used to provide, but it’s still technically possible....

The restore function in EaseUS Todo Backup offers the easiest way to retrieve backed up files by mounting the backup image as a virtual hard drive. EaseUS Todo Backup: Methods, Sources, & Destinations The types of backup supported, as well as what on your computer can be selected for back up and where it can be backed up to, are the most important aspects to consider when choosing a backup software program....

Optima Classical Academy says it will introduce the world’s first virtual reality charter school in Naples, Florida. The school wants to enroll up to 1,300 students in August, grades 3-8. However, some experts say VR is best for students in limited doses. “There is so much value for students and educators in being in a classroom together,” Debika Sihi, a business professor at Southwestern University who studies technological innovation, told Lifewire in an email interview....

When we think about pollution, we think of air pollution, and in the case of cars, it’s about tailpipe emissions that ruin air quality in cities. But other forms of pollution can be just as harmful and way more annoying. Road noise is a constant, and if you live near a supermarket or similar, delivery trucks can be more intrusive than planes flying overhead. EVs can help with this and make cities more livable....

The original Xbox had a lot of great worlds for gamers to explore. From the rings of Halo: Combat Evolved to the rich, lore-filled world of the original Fable, there were a lot of options for players to jump into. So, when Xbox revealed a short teaser trailer for a Fable remake, the company instantly had my attention. Despite a strong start with Fable and Fable II, the series fell to the wayside after Fable III....

What Is an FP7 File? A file with the FP7 file extension is a FileMaker Pro database file. It holds records in a table format and might also include charts and forms. The number after “.FP” in the file extension can be used as a general indicator of the version of FileMaker Pro that uses the format as its default file type. Therefore, FP7 files are created by default in FileMaker Pro version 7, but they’re also supported in versions 8-11....

What is Gaming Culture? Gaming culture is, in short, a world in which people who enjoy video games band together to form communities with others who understand the appeal of gaming. Most people tend to think of ‘gamers’ as odd young men in hoodies hunkered down in basements playing violent video games who then venture out to shoot up schools and create mayhem on the streets. That’s only been the case in a few random situations but the myth has persisted, probably in response to the psychological professionals who have expounded heavily on the notion that video games wreck young brains....

Instagram started as a place to filter, share, and like your iPhone photos. Glass is like that, only without the filters or the likes. Like OG Insta, Glass is iPhone-only. But, unlike almost any other photo-sharing app, it is also subscription-only, and the only way to sign up is using sign-in with Apple. Glass is so pared down that it makes Philip Glass look like a 1990s-era Geocities home page in comparison....

Playing iTunes Music on Android: Yes Music downloaded from iTunes is compatible with Android phones in most cases. Music purchased from iTunes is in the AAC format, which Android has built-in support for. The exception to this ​is songs bought from iTunes prior to the April 2009 introduction of the DRM-free iTunes Plus format. These files, which use the Protected AAC format, won’t work on Android because it doesn’t support iTunes’ digital rights management (DRM)....

Perhaps one of the least-known entries in the true wireless earbud space is the GT220 headphones from Grado. In truth, if you’re an audio fan, and more specifically, if you’re someone who counts themselves as a true audiophile, Grado is a brand you’ve likely looked into. This Brooklyn-based manufacturer considers itself something of an artisanal headphone designer, and they’re probably best known for wired headphones. The approach the brand takes is hand-tuned centers on drivers and high-quality, at times unique build materials (think: wood and leather in place of plastic)....

Overall Findings 4K and HDR are not competing standards. 4K refers to screen resolution (the number of pixels that fit on a television screen or display). It’s sometimes referred to as UHD or Ultra HD, although there is a slight difference. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and refers to the contrast or color range between the lightest and darkest tones in an image. HDR delivers a higher contrast—or larger color and brightness range—than Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), and is more visually impactful than 4K....

Why You Need a Home Computer Network A home computer network allows you to share files using the available wired or wireless connections between computers. Home networks enable several users to share printers and an internet connection. With mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or streaming devices and smart TVs, the value of having a wireless home network expands tremendously. Planning a New Home Network: Wired vs. Wireless The home networker can choose either wireless or wired designs....
