Pass It On Pass on your old iPhone to a friend or family member. If your old phone has a SIM, remove it before you give the iPhone away. As long as the recipient chooses a compatible carrier, he can take in the iPhone, and the carrier will help him get it set up on the network. If your old iPhone is a GSM phone, compatible carriers are AT&T and T-Mobile....
Apple recently released the latest version of the macOS 12 Monterey beta to public beta testers, allowing non-developers to test the software ahead of its public release. The final version is expected to be released later this year. You can download the macOS Monterey public beta now to test out some of its new features. Sharing Is Caring Apple is pushing the idea that the Mac is just an extension of your gadget universe rather than a computer unto itself....
How Transformation Tuesday Is Used on Social Networks On Tuesdays, people are encouraged to post transformational photos of themselves on social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram, and others, along with the hashtag in the description. Many people create these posts in the form of a before and after photo, often using photo collage maker apps to break up the photo into two parts so that one side shows the before photo, and the other side shows the after photo....
If your interested in picking up a used 2011 iMac, read on to discover the ins and outs of the 2011 iMac models. The 2011 iMacs have undergone yet another evolutionary change. This time, the iMacs are outfitted with either Quad-Core Intel i5 processors or Quad-Core Intel i7 processors. Even better, the 2011 processors are based on the second generation Core-i platform, usually referred to by its code name, Sandy Bridge....
If you’re not familiar, 5G is the next upgrade to mobile networks following 4G. It’s many times faster than 4G and opens up lots of new opportunities like smart cities and farms, and untethered AR and VR experiences. There are three big names to watch for 5G in Australia: Optus, Telstra, and Vodafone. The service that’s available to you depends on where you live, whether the carrier has 5G-compatible phones yet, and if you want mobile service or just 5G internet at home....
Novels like “Neuromancer” made it seem like we were just years away from creating a functional brain-computer interface (BCI) that would let us enter a shared virtual reality. But the latest phase of a study that translates attempts at conversation from a speech-impaired, paralyzed patient into words on a screen shows just how far we have to go before making a neural connection with computers. “Trying to get the computer program to decipher the intended movement based solely on signals recorded from the cortex is like you or me trying to piece together the meaning of a sentence that is missing many important words,” Edelle Field-Fote, director of spinal cord injury research at Shepherd Center, told Lifewire in an email interview....
When Flickering Headlights Are a Problem If it happens only when your car is idling, and only with really loud bass notes, then installing a car audio capacitor or stiffening cap may suffice. If it happens more often than that, or if you notice your headlights dimming even when the engine is “revved up,” you’ll need to address the issue. Feeding a Hungry Amplifier Your powerful new amp is hungry, and what it craves is electrical current....
When FromSoftware gave us our first look at Elden Ring in 2019, I was hooked on the idea of a game that blended George R.R. Martin’s narrative skills with the dark fantasy worlds that Hidetaka Miyazaki—the creator of Dark Souls—has become so beloved for. Not much was shared back then, but it was enough to whet my appetite for another deep fantasy role-playing game (RPG). Now, almost two years after that first reveal, we finally have our next look at what Elden Ring will look like, as well as a release date....
“Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is,” Paige Hanson, NortonLifeLock’s chief of cyber safety education, said in an email interview. “Cybercriminals are experts at creating fake sites, emails, or profiles that look identical to legitimate people or online shops. Make sure that you’re certain before clicking a link or opening a file to avoid getting scammed.” Watch Where You Click The most common scams include phishing emails, links to malicious websites, robocall scams, and gift card scams....
The report, released by the New York attorney general this week, shows that millions of comments submitted to the FCC in favor of repealing net neutrality in 2017 were not only fake, but were created through a secret campaign funded by major broadband companies that lured consumers through promises of free gifts and rewards. Experts say this isn’t the only time that big telecom companies have abused their power, and it serves as more evidence that proper net neutrality laws are needed to protect the American people....
The mini announced last week features a 5.4-inch display and a 5G connection starting at $699. The petite phone arrives as mobile phones have ballooned from the candy bar-like Nokia of yesteryear to the latest iPhone 12 with its 6.1-inch screen or the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, with its massive 6.9-inch display. But smaller can be better, some observers say. “Phones have gotten bigger over time, which supports video-heavy applications, like gaming, social media, and Zoom,” Lydia Chilton, a professor who studies human-computer interaction at Columbia University, said in an email interview....
There are several excellent business uses for Twitter, like sending out news briefs or advertising the latest job opening. Still, there are even more personal benefits of Twitter. Start a Microblog Many people forget Twitter’s original use as a micro-blogging platform. And it is still one of the best benefits. It’s easy to make a quick tweet telling the world what you are doing, how good your morning coffee tastes, or how bad your lunch went....
In macOS Ventura, Apple has closed one big security hole. The Mac will no longer allow any old USB device to connect when you plug it in. Instead, in a model much like that on the iPad and iPhone, plugging in a USB device will prompt the user for approval. “It is a terrible idea to connect unknown devices to your computer. Hackers consider USB devices to be an ‘attack vector’ or a weakness that might grant them access to a computer or network....
Google has added useful features to the built-in password manager in Chrome and Android that make it a real alternative to dedicated password managers. However, this isn’t enough to convince security experts to trust browsers to store passwords. “I am not a fan of storing passwords in any web browser,” Chris Hauk, consumer privacy champion at Pixel Privacy, told Lifewire over email. “However, this is especially true of a browser like Chrome, which has suffered numerous security and privacy breaches in the past....
The Willful M98 Bluetooth Headset is primarily targeted towards truckers and call center workers. For years, Plantronics has been a go-to brand for desk workers and drivers. But with so many options available from different brands like Jabra, Sennheiser, Logitech, and more, workers have endless options to choose from at all different price ranges, and the Willful M98 is one of the more affordable options. I tested the Willful M98 for a week, taking calls, attending meetings, and listening to music....
The next Apple Watch may monitor blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood alcohol levels, according to the rumors. The watch already monitors your heart rate, your movement, environmental noise, and even your blood oxygen levels. Alone, these are interesting enough, but taken together, in a watch that is almost always on your arm, they can revolutionize healthcare. “The possibilities for sensors that can be included in a watch are practically endless, but Apple’s approach is to create a near-perfect product before putting it in a production watch,” Vardhan Agrawal, software developer and co-creator of the BP-lytic cuffless monitor, told Lifewire via email....
Previous iPhones required repair specialists and novices alike to remove their screen and other components just to access the back glass. In fact, replacing the back glass involved replacing much of the iPhone’s housing, which added complexity and cost to the procedure. With iPhone 14, that’s no longer the case, and the back panel can be removed individually to make for a less costly repair. “Users who cracked their back glass always had to pay a steep price either in repairs or even if they had a service contract, they still had to give up their iPhones until the repair was complete,” technology analyst Jeff Kagan told Lifewire via email....
Developed by software-first aerospace company Airspace Intelligence, Flyways AI is currently being used by Alaska Airlines. Experts say it’s one of the first instances of AI being used in the operation of an airline, and it’s proving to be a game-changer for how airlines plan flights and for passengers arriving at their destination on time. “It really was an eye-opening thing to see that there was a way to do flight planning that was so different from the way the industry approached it before,” Pasha Saleh, Alaska Airlines’ director of flight operations, strategy, and innovation, told Lifewire in a phone interview....

Install one of these freeware tools, and it will first automatically identify all of your programs and then determine if an update is available. Then, depending on the app you’re using, it will either point you to the newer download on the developer’s site or maybe even do the downloading and updating for you! It’s easy to quickly tell the difference between applications that are already updated and ones that are outdated because the green titles indicate up-to-date software, while the red ones show outdated programs....
