It’s called Skipper. And I genuinely believe it’s the most intuitive Chrome extension I’ve come across in the last year, at least. Skipper essentially scrubs the unnecessary sections of a particular music video. It does so by referring to an always updating database. Hence, whenever you play a track on YouTube, it checks from where the actual song begins and automatically jumps to it at the beginning. In addition to that, Skipper can skip the ending as well so you don’t face any interruptions while listening to a playlist....

I would not like to go into the discussion about “if online data backup is safe or not“. But storing your valuable data online gives you easy access to it in the event of a disaster and, even more usefully, lets you retrieve your files remotely from any location. There are lots of reliable and secured ways of taking data backup online but most of them come under Premium section....

Truecaller Chat integrates with the existing messaging tab allowing you to switch between IM and the good-ol SMS seamlessly. If you message users who are on the latest build, your conversations will be displayed in a blue bubble and you won’t be charged. If not, you’ll see a green bubble indicating it was dispatched as an SMS. If it sounds all too familiar, that’s because it is. Apple’s iMessage has exclusively offered this for years on iPhones....

The most significant way Uber is making its new app smoother on patchy networks and underpowered phones is by getting rid of the nifty map which shows the driver’s location in real-time. Instead, Uber Lite displays your pickup whereabouts’ name in big, bold letters on the home screen and the car as well as driver’s details once you’ve confirmed. Maps are present on Uber Lite if a user wants but they’re optional and can be revealed by tapping the “See on map” option....

We shall find the pros and cons of Ubuntu 11.04 vis-a-vis Windows 7.

Google Chrome’s Canary build now comes with an optional flag that allows you to block audio per domain basis. Right now, this ability is limited to tabs and not websites as a whole. Once enabled, the website will be blocked from playing any kind of sound whenever you load it. The current tab-specific muting feature functions exclusively for the instance and therefore, you have to manually enable it every time you come across that site....

To give you some background, the previous Apex concept models built upon a full-screen display, with the 2018 model featuring a retractable camera module, and the 2019 one tweaking it and getting rid of the different buttons and ports. With the 2020 Apex concept phone, the company has gone a step ahead and introduced a 6.45-inch waterfall display with 120-degree curved edges that wrap around the edge. What’s even interesting about this display is that, unlike the company’s previous approaches, where it used a retractable module or a hole-punch cutout to house the front-facing camera, the 2020 model rather relies on an in-display (or under-glass) camera, eliminating the need for the notch, hole-punch, or a retractable hardware....

Just like all major offerings from Vivo, selfie and music are the main forefronts for the Y69. The main highlight of the mid-ranger is its 16MP f/2.0 moonlight selfie camera. Furthermore, the camera app on the Vivo Y69 comes with a ton of features which includes Bokeh, Group Selfie, and Live Photo. With that said, the Vivo Y69 can’t be called a whole new phone. It would wise to call it tune up version of its predecessor....

What is MEMC? MEMC stands for Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation which is basically a fancy term to imply interpolation. While this technology is relatively new in smartphones, it has existed for a long time on the television side of things and has also been rather controversial. Filmmakers seem to hate it, while the average consumer seems to have no real problem with it. With MEMC becoming more mainstream now and making its way onto smartphones too, let’s take a look at how it works and if it is actually beneficial and if yes, in what scenarios....

We wish we had a penny for every time we have been asked that question every time someone has updated their device to a new version of an OS.
