The Motorola One 5G Ace is a more affordable version of the Motorola One 5G that launched in late 2020. The killer feature is 5G connectivity, and it also brings a massive 5,000mAh battery to the table. Some of the specs line up with its predecessor, while the build quality, processor, and a few other areas took hits to meet a more affordable price point. This is the cheapest 5G phone Motorola has ever offered, and it’s the path of least resistance if your only goal is to grab ahold of that 5G ring without shelling out for a much more expensive handset....

The Motorola Tech3 headphones are possibly the most unique offering in the true wireless space. That’s because, in actuality, calling these headphones “true wireless” is not capturing what they actually are. In addition to truly wireless functionality, Motorola has managed to give you both the option for a “sport wire” to use the headphones like a standard pair of wired Bluetooth earbuds, and you can even connect a second wire to give you a plug-in pair of earbuds....

Some companies are signing onto this idea of using Native American names on maps. The maps are intended to supplement and give context to digital maps like Google Maps and Apple Maps. Advocates say that the effort is long overdue as part of a larger reckoning about the appropriation of Native American terms, including those of sports teams. “Native American place names remind us of the human practices that took place, in the past, in the territories that are controlled by present-day states,” Gustavo Verdesio, an associate professor of Native American Studies at the University of Michigan, said in an email interview....

The online gym will offer specially licensed music and easy scheduling options. Unlike most gyms, Moxie’s founder says it will only take a 15 percent fee from teachers who pay to use the service. The virtual gym is starting up at a time when in-person gyms and trainers are struggling because of the coronavirus pandemic. Traditional gyms went from a multibillion industry before COVID-19 hit “to zero just overnight,” Moxie Founder and CEO Jason Goldberg said in a video interview....

OnePlus is known for making cheaper alternatives to robust flagship phones, even if the “budget flagship” tag doesn’t really apply anymore to its most recent top-tier models. But the OnePlus Nord N100 is something different: the least-expensive phone OnePlus has ever made by a solid margin, and a legitimate budget phone at a mere $180. Even so, have you seen a sub-$200 phone with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate? Even some much pricier phones, like the iPhone 12, don’t pack that feature....

PCB Troubleshooting Printed circuit boards, or PCBs, are a mass of insulators and copper traces that connect densely packed components to create a modern circuit. Troubleshooting PCBs is often a challenge, with factors such as size, number of layers, signal analysis, and types of components playing a large role. Some more complicated boards require specialized equipment to properly troubleshoot. However, most troubleshooting can be done with basic electronic equipment to follow traces, currents, and signals through the circuit....

Pixel 6 Release Date Google made an official announcement on August 2, 2021, confirming rumors that we’d see both a regular Pixel 6 and a Pixel 6 Pro. After a cryptic “coming later this year” tweet in early August, the company finally confirmed the new phone at the October 19, 2021, Pixel Fall Launch event. The 2021 Pixel was available for pre-orders after the unveiling event. Online and in-store orders began October 28....

Apple recently announced that end-to-end encryption is coming to even more sensitive types of iCloud data, including device backups, messages, and photos. The move is being hailed by privacy advocates who say it will keep online information safer. But the FBI has reportedly said the enhanced encryption could jeopardize its ability to catch criminals. “In certain situations, when users opt-in to the service, Apple will no longer hold the key to unlock any data,” Matt Howard, the senior vice president of the cybersecurity firm Virtru, told Lifewire in an email interview....

Design: Bulky body hides a virtual assistant Despite its large size, the design is attractive. The two USB ports are highlighted with orange plastic, rather than LED illumination like many in-car USB chargers. And the unit itself is ringed by sporty-looking simulated carbon fiber. The top ring and activation button illuminate with different colors, depending on the operation status, which makes it easy to see what’s going on at a glance....

When Will the Rollable Pixel Be Released? It’s unclear right now, but probably not until after the release of the Pixel Fold, another screen-extending device expected from the company. Adding a rollable phone to the lineup is quite aggressive. Plus, the latest nugget of news that points to this device being a possibility is a tweet from June 2021: Ross Young is a display market analyst with DSCC, which stated in early 2021 that rollable phones are coming: We also know from a patent granted in 2007 that Google has its eyes on an “expandable display having rollable material....

The Samsung 65-inch class Q60R (QN65Q60RAFXZA) is the newest smart QLED TV from Samsung, improving on last year’s model with great processing power at a mid-tier price. It may not have all the bells and whistles that higher-end competitor smart TVs offer but we found it held its own, particularly in the gaming arena. We tested this product for a month, read on to learn what we found. Design: A slender build QLED TVs are the successor to LED TVs, designed to derive their picture from backlighting within the unit, a stark contrast to OLED which can toggle individual pixels on or off to emit their own color....

A Retainer Benefits the Contractor For a graphic designer, a retainer is a safety net, a guaranteed amount of income over time. With much of a freelance income often based on sporadic projects, a retainer is an opportunity to count on a certain amount of money from a particular client. A retainer can establish long-term credibility and trust with clients and even result in additional work outside of the initial retainer agreement....

Kim-Parker is the co-founder and CEO of Thrilling, an online marketplace for vintage and second-hand items from boutiques across the US. The idea behind Thrilling came from Kim-Parker’s experience growing up in New York and second-hand shopping for clothes. “Part of the joy of this kind of shopping is getting lost in the treasure hunt. It’s all about the journey,” Kim-Parker said. “For Thrilling, we are thinking about how we can help popularize vintage shopping and make it accessible to more shoppers around the world....

SpeedOf.Me works in all modern browsers, like Chrome, IE, Safari, and Firefox. This means that you can test your bandwidth on your desktop, tablet, laptop, or smartphone…yes, even your iPad, iPhone, or Android device!...

EVs are perfect for an urban environment. The stop-and-go traffic actually helps with range, and typically a city driver who stays within the limits of their town might be behind the wheel for hours, but probably only actually travel 20 miles in a day. The flip side to that is, where do they charge if they live in an apartment without a garage? It turns out there’s a solution for city-wide charging stations without the hassle of cables being strung about on sidewalks....

For many, that’s where EVs should be or could be headed at some point. Why recharge a car when, like a Walkman from the 80s, you could just swap out the battery? The reason that’s not likely to happen anytime soon for cars, trucks, and SUVs is that it’s complicated—very, very complicated. The Two-Wheeled Solution That’s Growing In 2015, Taiwan company Gogoro launched its first scooter. But more importantly, it launched its Gogoro Energy Network....
