What do you do when your internet speed is at its worst? Do you want to check your mails, check your AdSense income, or complete some important research work and you are not able to do any of them? This will be a day-to-day affair if you are using dial-up connection or a slow broadband connection. This post is especially intended for those power users of the internet who don’t want to miss their web experience even when connections speed sucks....

You wanna Never Settle or go for those Pixel-ated looks First off, the matter of design. And it is a clash of two very different design cultures here. Both phones are reasonably slim – both are 8.2 mm thin – but that’s where the similarity ends. The OnePlus 6T comes with a glass back while the Pixel 3a XL comes with the typical dual textured back that is a Pixel trademark, with a glossy upper half....

But the good news is that, unlike PwnageTool 4.1.3, iPad 3.2.2 firmware is not required for redsn0w 0.9.6b5 as it fetches iPad iOS 3.2.2 right from Apple servers.

Dropbox Photo Upload Feature for Android In what seems to be a direct hit towards Google, Apple and other big players in the cloud industry, Dropbox comes with one of the most needed features in today’s mobilized environment – the automatic photo upload ability. Initially, Dropbox photo upload will be offered for Android, with iOS soon to follow. Once you’ll start using this new feature, you’ll find all your photos safely stored inside a folder called “Camera Uploads“....

That being said its quite likely that the Nik collection will not be free for long or the company would rather bring out a freemium model in play. DxO, on the other hand, has assured that the Nik collection will be free for the time being while the company works on a new version for 2018. Google had acquired the Nik along with Snapseed in 2012. Immediately after the acquisition, the price of the Nik Collection went down from $500 to $150 in 2013, and it was finally offered for free in 2016....

What is HEIF? While JPEG is still a perfectly fine and more importantly, universally accepted standard, it’s not technically made for efficiently handling these advancements. One of the alternatives major companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google have stumbled upon is a format called HEIF, short for High Efficiency Image Format. It has already made its way to the four leading operating systems including iOS 11, MacOS High Sierra, Windows 10, and Android P....

To give you a primer, Wi-Fi Alliance — an organization that promotes and certifies Wi-Fi technologies — announced Wi-Fi 6, early last year. While the announcement was big news in itself [taking into consideration the advantages that the new standard holds over its predecessors], what came as a welcome surprise was the change in nomenclature. As, until Wi-Fi 6, the naming convention involved the use of alphanumeric characters, like 802....

However, the fact that Firefox cannot be run natively on a Chromebook was why some opt out. But what if I told you that you could install Firefox on your Chromebook? Sounds exciting, isn’t it? So let us take a detailed look at how you can install Firefox on Chromebooks with ease. Setting up Linux on Chromebook Before installing Firefox on our Chromebook, we first need to enable Linux via the Chrome settings OS....

The first thing you will notice about both the phones is the striking resemblance they have with their big brother – the LG G5. Be it the contour, the rounded edges or the 2.5D curved glass. The K10 is the bigger of the two coming with a 5.3-inch screen while the K7 comes with a 5-inch screen. While the K10 comes with Gorilla Glass 3 protection for the display, its tough tomatoes for the K7....

The list includes Facebook’s primary client, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram. The remaining position is filled by Google’s video-streaming service, YouTube. In countries such as the United States, Facebook’s dominance, while is slightly less worrying, is still quite substantial. In the US, three of the five leading apps are from Facebook. The other two are Snapchat and YouTube. Mexico has a similar Facebook ascendency with WhatsApp, Messenger, and Facebook ruling the charts....

The search engine leader, not long ago, updated its app with a feature called “Recents”. It essentially retains screenshots of search results you’ve viewed. That’s not all, the app even stores each follow-up link you’ve visited allowing you to access the information later without trying to recreate or locate the particular, for instance, restaurant address or something else. Definitely useful when you want to revisit without having to search and find the exact link all over again....

“We built this feature to make life easier for people who use wheelchairs, but accessible routes are also helpful if you’re on crutches or pushing a stroller. With the help of transit agencies around the globe and people like you who contribute local knowledge, we’re making progress toward a more accessible world for everyone” As we talk about it, Google has already made the “wheelchair accessible” transit feature available in cities like London, Tokyo, Mexico city, Boston, and Sydney....

Aura Update, First Step For a Desktop Chrome OS? Basically, you have Windows, Linux and Mac OS all mashed up together in what we should refer to as the Aura experience. The new update also makes use of some hardware acceleration for revealing the information on screen including animations and special effects. Aura started off when the Google team wanted to create a new desktop window manager experience that could offer heart stopping visuals and effects that rely on hardware acceleration....

Go ahead access the new Google History webpage and you will be able to see there your entire search history, download it or choose to remove it. As you can see, you can customize your search to see queries by hour or day, and you can also ‘go back in time’ by clicking on the older button. But that can prove to be a little annoying, so just modify the web address as you can see in the screenshot from below and include the year and month you like....

The best part of Motion Stills is that the entire process is offline and would not require connectivity until and unless you want to share the resulting GIF’s. Google achieved this by creating GIF animations from photo bursts along with an Algorithm that made it look as though one has shot the video using video stabilisation gear. The low size of the files seems to be a direct consequence of real time GPU rendering, which means that some of the textures would be run by the GPU every time the file is played....

Google’s GTalk users across the world are facing downtime at the moment.

It’s powered by Huawei’s mid-range Kirin 710 chipset along with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage which is expandable through a hybrid slot. In addition, the phone runs on Android Pie out of the box layered by a custom skin and a 3400mAh battery.

The OnePlus 5. We had first heard murmurs of the Honor 8 Pro coming to India shortly after the launch dates of the OnePlus were released (or leaked, take your pick). Right from mid-June, the battle lines had been clearly drawn in India – the Honor 8 Pro would be going up toe to toe against the latest Flagship Killer. It was not a new device and had been released earlier this year and had been seen in other markets (some with the nomenclature Huawei V9)....

The verse may be extremely sub-standard but at this point, it stands correct for many of us, with many parts of the world in lockdown. Netflix and binge-watching have been a perfect marriage since forever but more time at home almost always means more Netflix. But well, sometimes, it is just not possible to keep your eyes on the screen – you might have some chores, you might actually be working on something and so on....
