Introduction The Jabra Elite 3 are the cheapest earbuds in Jabra’s true wireless line-up – and they’ve only gotten more tempting in the last year. When I first reviewed the Elite 3 toward the end of 2021, I was seriously impressed by their comfortable design, crystal-clear sound and long battery life. In fact, I was reluctant to part ways with this pair after the review went live. Revisiting the Elite 3 in December 2022, the earbuds have dropped from £80 to £50, making them an even better deal for those who are still unconvinced by their original price....

Installing & Launching Like most applications in an Ubuntu-based system, installing this couldn’t be any easier: For you “mainstream” Ubuntu fans, there’s also a GNOME-based version of this: In another weird turn of events in my Precise system, the installation didn’t create an entry in the menu for this (it appeared under the “System” menu in Oneiric), but a quick command in KRunner did the trick: Usage Once the application is launched, configuring it is reasonably straightforward....

Some Linux distributions include “everything but the kitchen sink,” in an effort to make user life easier. This makes things such as file sharing or printing work out of the box. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to include hundreds of utilities so that everyone finds something they need. Fortunately though, open-source operating systems give you the power and freedom to do as you see fit. This means you can disable or remove anything you don’t need....

1. Speed The main emphasis of this new design was to improve the page load time. Using the Genesis framework (affiliate link), cache plugin and various time-saving techniques, we are able to shave/optimize a big chunk of redundant javascript, CSS and code and utilize the server resources more efficiently.

Calibre is cross platform and runs on Windows, OS X and Linux. This tutorial will focus on Linux but much of it applies equally to the other two platforms. Calibre can be installed via your distributions package repository or directly from Calibre. For Ubuntu you can install it from the Ubuntu Software Center or from the command line using: However the packages supplied by your distribution might be out-of-date, so you can also install it using this special command which will install the latest version directly from Calibre: This will run an installation script....

There isn’t a guide or instruction manual, but as with most basic computer keyboards, one isn’t really needed.

Slice of Camera Pi Fitting the camera module to the Pi is simplicity itself. The camera connector is right behind the ethernet port. Just lift up the tab, gently insert the ribbon cable (silver side away from the ethernet port) and then gently push the tab down. The hard part is done. Now we need to take pictures and videos. Before you can use the camera you have to enable it....

There are many different text editors available for Linux with the most popular being nano, vi and emacs. Each has its own strengths and its own weaknesses. Emacs is a powerful editor with a steep learning curve. Vi (or vim, a vi clone with various improvements) is available on almost every Linux and Unix-type installation (including FreeBSD and Solaris), often when no other editors are installed. However, Vi isn’t intuitive until you learn some of the basic ideas behind its construction....

Unfortunately, I’ve heard a lot of negative feedback about these speakers, and it did lower my expectations a bit. Many find that it’s just too hard to get the speaker to actually levitate. After trying one for myself, I found that the first time was the hardest, but each time after that gets easier. Many have also complained about the sound quality. Personally, I’ve really enjoyed the sound of the Moxo X-2 levitating Bluetooth speaker and can listen to it for hours....

As of right now, you can download a new version of Microsoft Edge that’s based on Chromium. This will (hopefully!) put Microsoft’s offerings a little closer to its competition. What Is “Chromium?” If you’ve never heard of Chromium before, it may remind you of another browser, Google Chrome. Chrome is, in fact, built off of Chromium, hence why their names are so similar. Chromium is an open-source browser that anyone can download, use, and tinker with....

This data-heavy deal would see you get the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra along with a 500GB monthly allowance for just £45 per month. This means that over the course of your 24-month contract, you’d pay £1,109 for the handset including the upfront cost (which alone is less than the RRP of £1149), but on top of that you’d get that huge amount of mobile data and unlimited calls and texts, making this a real cracker of a deal....

Opera’s gone through a lot of changes since its height of popularity during the pre/early-Chrome Windows XP era, and I’d like to take another look at it and see if it stands up as a modern (or better) browsing option. Overview and Features Compared to booting up XP-era Opera, modern Opera feels rather different. Many of its features recall Chrome (especially due to being based on Chromium, but more on that later), but the interface itself reminds me more of my early experiences with Edge than anything else....
