Windows 11 ISO includes build 22000.194 (version 21H2) of the operating system and is available in all editions (Home, Pro, Education, Enterprise, MR, etc.).

Portrait mode does not always work Let’s blame Apple again. Before the iPhone 7 Plus came along, bokeh (those beautifully blurred backgrounds), was something that was mainly a feature of “real cameras” and some smartphones with dual cameras. Of course, once Apple made it a “thing” with “Portrait Mode” which was dedicated to blurring out the background and keeping the subject of a photograph in sharp focus. Today, almost every device comes with its own version of portrait mode, and you can even control the amount of blur you want in the background....

There are two types of software: the first one is made up by specially designed applications for syncing different devices while the second, cloud services, has an ampler scope but can also be used for our purpose. The main difference between these two solutions is that with a cloud you will also have a backup copy kept online. On the other hand, those choosing the cloud solution will probably have to buy a premium account if they have a lot of files that need to be transferred....

Just so you know, Back Tap is an Accessibility feature on iOS 14 that opens up the world for new possibilities on the iPhone. The feature is present deep-down in the Settings and came out as a surprising addition since Apple did not explicitly talk about it during their keynote. In a nutshell, Back Tap gives you the ability to either double-tap or triple-tap on the back of your iPhone to trigger specific actions....

To give you some background, Gmail has always had search filters (or operators) to allow you to narrow down your email searches and find the relevant emails against your search terms. However, most users have been oblivious to the feature, and as a result, a large number of users could not benefit from it. To address this situation, Google has finally made it easier for you to narrow down your search results by making the filters easily accessible and the functionality a whole lot simpler....

Google has been testing the ‘Stay Safer’ feature for some time, and now it has finally arrived for users in India. In a nutshell, the feature will alert and notify users traveling in taxis, auto-rickshaws, or any other mode of public transport, when their vehicle goes off-route. In addition, it will also share the live status of their trips with friends/family so they can track their journey. The feature is a pretty welcome change for people taking public transport to work or different places across the city during any hour of the day....

Among the trio, the Huawei Enjoy 8 Plus is the costliest and powerful smartphone. The Huawei Enjoy 8e, on the other hand, is the cheapest. It, however, yet to go on a sale in China, unlike its other two siblings. The all-new Enjoy 8 series of smartphones aren’t completely new though. The Huawei Enjoy 8 and Enjoy 8 Plus were incidentally launched earlier in Thailand as the Y7 Prime (2018) and Y9 (2018) respectively....

Well, for some reason, I did. In a hope to humor myself, I decided to give it a try. I even configured it as my default browser and replaced the sacrosanct Chrome icon on the home screen with Samsung’s more jaunty-looking purple one. And three weeks later, it’s still there. I’m surprised myself and this is, believe it or not, the first Samsung product I’ve personally employed for more than a couple of days....

But of course, I held my verdict until I had the chance to fairly test it. And I thought what better opportunity to do so than taking it to Kygo’s concert. The lighting will be challenging, I won’t be as close to the subject as I would hope, the perfect shot window will be infinitesimal, and my hands will be shakier than they would normally. Clearly, it seems like a scenario for a phone camera’s worst nightmare....

The app from the Ahmedabad based outfit had made headlines earlier this year by using AR to offer a digital version of a frog dissection on the iPad, thus acquainting users with the necessary information without harming any living being. In fact, it became the first Indian app to be showcased during the Apple keynote at the Chicago education event earlier this year. Needless to say, the win is a massive achievement not just for Designmate but the Indian app developer community in general....

That has been the kind of talk we have been hearing from a number of smartphone brands that are claiming to be ready to mop the floor with the leading player in the Indian smartphone market, Xiaomi. We have been shown endless comparison sheets. Told why rival products are better than the Redmi Note 5 and/or Note 5 Pro (the targets of choice this year). And been inundated with data on how quickly these products have sold (or sold out) on different e-commerce portals....

The company has already been testing the JioFiber across India and it will be rolled out in ten of India’s largest cities including Delhi and Noida. Reliance is apparently targeting gated community and multi-block apartments. As part of its second phase of expansion, Reliance expects to roll out the JioFiber across 100 locations and as we mentioned the high rise buildings will be targeted. Starting from June, Jio is expected to expand its trials for other cities and will commercially launch the service in October....

While many artists and companies seem to have understood this principle, the vast majority of corporations and even governments entirely have proved to be run by muggles. The curiosity itself strikes me right from the heavens and makes me wonder why some, after failing with SOPA, ACTA and the rest of those threatening acts, try another censorship scheme. Judging by Google’s own sayings, this year in December, humanity may once more have to battle against internet censorship and all of its devious consequences....

The Kent CamEye HomeCam 360 is a Wi-Fi security camera built for homes. It comes pre-loaded with an app that makes it easy to use. It is relatively low-cost, making it a great option for those looking for a quality home security camera. Kent is primarily known for their water purifiers in India. Still, the company has expanded beyond that into kitchen appliances and Smart IoT products, including air purifiers, auto sanitizers, vacuum cleaners, and security cameras....

For, make no mistake about it, the latest OnePlus ticks most of the boxes you would expect on an Android flagship. It is very sleekly designed and is made of premium materials (glass front and back), is powered by a flagship-level chip (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865), has oodles of RAM and storage to spare, supports 5G, and comes with a good camera arrangement. Oh, and for good measure, it also throws on the latest Android....

Not glassy, but flashy It is the glassy-flashy design era that is ruling the smartphone business right now and Oppo has taken a walk down the same route. Only a little less glassy and a little more flashy. While smartphones take pride in sporting a glass back nowadays, the Oppo K1 creates a perfect glassy illusion which means, it looks like it has a glass back but it actually does not....

Smooth as silk Right, let’s start out by clarifying what they the Vivo Apex does NOT have: No physical buttons. No ports. No front facing camera. No bezels (Well, almost). Yes, you still are reading the first impressions of a smartphone and the absence of all of these things mentioned above is what make the Vivo Apex 2019 special. The smartphone aims to offer a smooth, uniform overall feel, and well, it certainly succeeds....
