Generally speaking, the very first thought people usually have as soon as their iPhone (or iPad or iPod Touch) comes in contact with water (or any other liquid) is whether they should turn it off or leave it as is. The dilemma in action arises since turning off the device requires unlocking the water damaged iPhone for a brief stint, which imposes the doubt if doing so would short the circuitry and cause permanent damage to the device....

Not just the gameplay, but streamers have various elements on their screen while streaming like a face-cam, live subscriber count, information of different platforms through which you can donate to them, etc. All this is not possible natively via YouTube. This is where a program like OBS or Open Broadcaster Software is immensely helpful. OBS is fairly simple to set up and use on a Windows PC but getting OBS to run without any issues or with full functionality on a Mac can be a daunting task....

In simple terms, Deep Fusion takes the whole concept of HDR photography to another level. In most HDR photography, e cameras take two or three photographs at different exposure levels and then combines them to create a single photograph, whereas Deep Fusion takes nine shots at different settings at once then puts them together, taking the best of each to give you a single superb shot. It does so at an incredible speed, something Apple credits to the A13 processor....

How to Share YouTube Video on Snapchat Method – 1 Sharing Directly from the YouTube App In order for this feature to work, make sure to update both YouTube and Snapchat apps to the latest versions. Here are Google Play Store links for Snapchat and YouTube, and Apple App Store links for Snapchat and YouTube, respectively. Once done, you can share the YouTube video in a Snapchat Story or Snap....

For such people, fitness trackers (or fitness bands) like the ones from Fitbit are a better choice. They cost less and pack most of the essential fitness and health tracking features in a slim and compact form factor. But again, with this approach, you’re faced with a problem: Apple doesn’t offer a native integration between Fitbit and Apple Health, so you can’t sync your Fitbit data (steps, workouts, weight, etc....

If necessary, you can block calls from a known number or a private number. This will disconnect all incoming calls and text messages from the person, and your phone number will no longer be available to them. Now, what happens when you need to unlock a blocked number on Android? Now you can receive calls and messages from that number again. However, some users get stuck when trying to unblock a number on their device....

The Huawei MateBook also comes with a Stylus which bears striking resemblance to the Surface Pen. The Mate Pen comes with a laser pointer and is expected to last for an entire month with a single charge. The company claims that the MateBook is the lightest 12-inch tablet at 1.4 pounds and it also seems to prescribe for a razor thin profile of just 6.9-millimetres. The display is set at a resolution of 2160 x 1440 which is not mind boggling but at the same time, it is sufficient....

The Infinix Hot 9 is another such example. The Hot 8 gained a lot of popularity of being one of the few phones in its price segment at the time of launch to come with a water-drop notch and the new Hot 9 is an attempt to replicate the success of its predecessor, this time with a punch-hole display and quad cameras on the back. Here’s what we think about the Infinix Hot 9 upon using it for a brief period....

One way to endure your next flight is to entertain yourself on your mobile device, be it a smartphone or tablet. However, as you also know, you won’t be able to download apps in mid-flight, so you have to prepare yourself before you take off. While there are tons of apps on every app store, choosing the right one for a long flight isn’t that easy. Best plane apps to use As a general rule, you should go for plane apps that do not require you to log in to a server, a....

Does the new tablet from Lenovo, the Tab 11 Pro, change that? Very good design Well, in terms of design, the Tab P11 Pro can go toe to toe against just about any tablet out there, and yes, we include the iPad in that list. This is a very smart-looking and well-designed tablet. Its glass front and aluminum unibody frame and back give it a very premium feel. Like the recent iPad Pros and iPad Air, the sides are straight rather than curved....

YOGA series has been the ideal machine for folks looking out to buy a hybrid laptop which doesn’t cut the corners in one way or the another. Lenovo had recently tweaked the Yoga 3 Pro and treated it with a better design and a futuristically engineered hinge, but the very fact that they downgraded to a much slower Intel Core M processor was pretty much a deal breaker. The Yoga 900 series seems to be here to make the things right and to begin with, it employs the fully blown 6th generation Intel Skylake core i5 or even a core i7 processor, and thankfully the keyboard still retains the dedicated function key row....

There’s also a new $25 smart plug which can be linked to Alexa allowing you to individually label it and simply say specific commands such as “turn off the bedroom light”. It works alongside a compatible Alexa-enabled device like Echo, Fire TV, Fire tablet, Sonos One, or even just the Alexa app on your phone.

Well, OnePlus is back in the zone now and the phone is called the OnePlus Nord. Nord, for those who do not know it and have been totally out of the OnePlus marketing loop, refers to North in Swedish and is supposed to represent OnePlus’ return to its more affordable roots. Routine design, but the blue will drive away blues Its pricing might have a blast from the past element to it, but the Nord looks every inch a modern phone....

Tall, heavy and handsome There is a design pattern book in town and all brands seem to be taking pages off it lately for their smartphones. Samsung is no different. Much like many recent Samsung A and M series devices, the Galaxy A70 also comes with a glass-like polycarbonate back which is reflective and creates different patterns when light falls on it. This one, in particular, has a very prism-like effect and reflects a rainbow pattern when put in light – shades of the A50....

Plastic can look…well, different (and even “fantastic!”) And well, fans are definitely going to like the slightly different look and feel of the Galaxy S20 FE. The front is obviously a Super AMOLED 6.5-inch Infinity O display with a punch-hole notch in the center, but it is the back that is going to catch attention. Yes, the camera arrangement is the now-standard sensors arranged in a rectangular unit on the top left section (and it juts out in a manner that worries us), but it is the colors that will make the phone stand out....

That changes with the latest addition to the Mi 10 ranks. Do not get us wrong – the Mi 10i does have its share of flagship touches, but its audience is unabashedly more mainstream than its namesakes. Looking as picturesque as…a Pacific Sunrise! Mind you, you would not guess that by looking at it. For, the Mi 10i does cut a very smart figure. It bears very little resemblance to its siblings, the Mi 10 and the Mi10T and the Mi 10T Pro (which in turn did not look like the Mi 10, so we guess this is one disjoint design family)....

We hasten to insist “on paper” because we have not actually used the device long enough to draw a concrete conclusion. But consider the case – prior to the Mi 11X Pro, the most affordable Snapdragon 888 device in the market was the just-revealed iQOO 7 Legend at Rs 39,990, with the OnePlus 9 starting at Rs 49,999. Now, the Mi 11X Pro starts at a slightly higher price than the iQOO 7 Legend (a whole nine Rupees), but it brings more to the mainstream phone table (the iQOO 7 Legend insists it is a gaming phone, complete with BMW stripes and all)....

Long back we had written about multiple ways to track and recover stolen laptops. Some of them still work and some of them don’t. But here is a real neat solution, if you are a Dropbox user. Let me alert you that this article is not for those who have already lost their laptops. Rather this is for everyone else who can follow some simple procedure and avoid wasting hundreds of dollars on the insurance....

Without any further ado here are ten amazing facts from the Windows history vault. Windows? Nah, Gates wanted to call it “Interface Manager” Imagine if the most used computer interface in the world was called something as boring as Interface Manager? Well, it almost was. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates actually wanted it to be called Interface Manager. Fortunately, Microsoft usually uses one-word names for its products and because the UI had multiple windows that allowed the users to run various tasks at once, the name ‘Windows’ came up....
