So if you’re planning to get a computer onto a WiFi network, what are the choices you have and which one is best for you? PCI Adapters PCI adapters have been the mainstay of WiFi connectability since the start. Plugging into a PCI slot onto your PC, they come with an antenna that sticks out of the back of your PC to maximise signal. What Makes Them Good? Due to PCI cards coming with antennae, this makes them naturally better at picking up a stronger signal than USB adapters....

By site specific search I mean that you can use a search engine to find content from a specific blog, website or forum. Sometimes you may want to search a popular blog for some tutorial and it’s not always very comfortable to open blogs in different tabs and use their search box to find the content you are looking for. Instead, you can search any website from Google, Yahoo or Bing....

As teased during the Pixel event in October, the VPN service powered by Google One comes at no extra cost and will work regardless of whether you prefer Google’s own Chrome browser. Considering most VPN services worth their salt charge a fee to mask the native IP address, this is a neat addition for Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro owners. The company says the service has been built “to help ensure your network traffic can’t be tied to your identity....

1: Do I need a grounded circuit to use a surge protector? Yes, you do. Most surge protectors function by running any excess power through a ground. When they have nowhere to run that power, they’ll act unpredictably. When a surge protector fails to protect the equipment hooked up to it, the excess power may divert to the equipment itself. This short-circuits everything inside each device, which might cause tons of irreparable damage....

This is applicable for almost every apps in Mac.

iReader is the older of the two extensions, having last been updated in 2011. For a relatively small piece of software that typically indicates abandonment, it remains compatible and so is worthy of comparison. The simply titled “Reader” has been updated well into 2014, and is the more popular of the two. Reviews on Mozilla’s own site give Reader a higher rating, with five stars compared to four. Upon installation, the two differentiate themselves by placement....

What EasyBCD Does EasyBCD is a very intuitive application that helps you rewrite boot loaders and install new ones. This allows you to reconstruct everything from the ground up to include all the operating systems installed on your computer. This kind of action will help you prevent the headache of having to write your own “boot.ini” file in MSConfig, which may take you a very long time, especially if you’re a beginner....

According to Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), the next-generation clamshell phone will have a cover display that’s around 3.0-inches. That would enable users to do much more without having to flip open the handset to reveal the 6.7-inch screen. The current Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 1.9-inch display next to the camera lenses and is only really useful for notifications, shortcuts and accessing media controls and quick settings....

Smartphone manufacturers have gone to great lengths to make sure that using your phone is much easier than using a computer. That’s usually a good thing. The problem is when something goes wrong with your phone, it’s tougher to figure out what the fix is. You might be stuck in a boot loop, or you might be getting a white screen of death. Even if you know what’s wrong, it can be tough to fix....

In this article we look at how to freshen up your Dropbox and turn it from a pile of stuff into an organized resource.

Obviously this is not ideal and massively inefficient....

Despite its name, installing Simplicity Linux isn’t straightforward. The more popular desktop distributions, including Ubuntu and Fedora, offer much better installation procedures; however, installing Simplicity isn’t impossible! I would advise you to perform a backup of any data you have on your PC before starting. To install it on a PC, download the Desktop version from the Simplicity Linux website and burn the .iso file onto a CD. Boot your PC from the CD....

The company is addressing what we adjudged to be a serious weakness in our initial Sky Glass review. The update alters the local dimming settings to deliver higher contrast, brightness and colour accuracy. We were far from blown away by the HDR performance, citing a lack of brightness and lacklustre viewing angles. While the update won’t take care of the latter, it might take care of the complaints over highlights, which our reviewer said were “dimly rendered whether in HDR10 or Dolby Vision....

Depending on whether you used “bit.ly/” or “j.mp/” you will be taken to the respective page from where you can copy the shortened URL....

5G Rollouts This one likely goes without saying and is probably the most obvious addition to this list of predictions. In the U.S., in particular, there is plenty of expectation that 2020 will see 5G rollouts increase exponentially. T-Mobile has already landed the first punch with a “nationwide” launch, but AT&T and Verizon expect major updates next year. AT&T is already on record as saying they expect the 5G device cycle to start in the new year....
