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....

People using the popular messaging client are having variety of issues, ranging from inability to access their contacts to messages not being sent.

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....

Over the past year or so, security researchers have found out that a lot of users (using personal assistants in-and-out) have their personal information on stake. For instance, when a user uses an assistant to perform certain actions using commands, their audio (along with a transcript) is sent across to the company’s servers to offer an apt result. Ideally, this information must be deleted soon after the action is carried out and the result has been provided....

A year later, with the iOS 16 update, it’s now taken this one step further and extended the functionality to every part of the system where you can select text. This means you can now easily convert currencies and units appearing as inline text inside any app—built-in or third-party—automatically without having to copy-paste them anywhere, like before. Follow along as we demonstrate how to use the built-in converter in iOS 16 to convert units and currencies on your iPhone quickly....

Tab Preview feature in Firefox 3.6 lets you move to any opened tab just by using Ctrl + Tab keys. This is very similar to the tab preview feature of Windows Vista and 7. If you have opened a lot of tabs and find it difficult to switch using Alt + Tab feature, then you can use Ctrl + Shift + Tab which allows you switch to a tab using the tab search option....

Before we proceed with learning how to force iPhone to restart, let’s learn how the regular restart or shutdown works on iPhone since even that isn’t straightforward if you are new to iPhones. How to Restart an iPhone the Regular Way If you have an iPhone X, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, or iPhone 14, you would know that there is no Home button anymore, resulting in users needing to use different button combinations to access various functions compared to the earlier models....

One way to avoid this is to develop a system for categorically organizing all your files. Simply put, you need an organized directory structure in which you can systematically move your files back and forth. The traditional method of moving files around on your Mac serves its purpose, but it can be quite tedious if you have to perform the process repeatedly. Therefore, here we introduce the different ways you can use to move files on Mac....

This free app does exactly what you’d expect, it hides and blurs out the entire display except for the part which you are reading or typing on. It overlays any other application with a layer of tint, a “privacy shade” as the developers like to call it. The rest, although, remains completely visible and you can precisely customize the sensitive area through the settings. For getting started with “Privacy Screen Guard & Filter”, head over to the play store and download the app....

Apps like Facebook, 9gag, Dropbox and others like them are pretty big data hogs, and sometimes they connect to the Internet in the background and consume those valuable MB of data. While turning them completely off isn’t a good option, we must find the next best thing and turn off cellular data only for certain apps, so they work only over WiFi or at certain times. Today we’ll be investigating this aspect and show you some solutions for this program....

The next month’s iPhone event will mark the first time in quite a while since Windows users were able to officially live-stream an Apple presentation. Thus, this year, the requirements needed to live-stream the event have changed a great deal for Windows users, as follows: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Safari on iOS 7.0 or later Mac with Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X v10.8.5 or later PC with Edge on Windows 10 Streaming via Apple TV requires a second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 6....

Furthermore, HP has also taken care to keep the battery capacity well within the 100 watt-hours allowed by the airlines/FAA for carry-on luggage since the backpack battery is rated at 84 watt-hours. Again, it’s quite possible that the bag might be flagged since different countries have different guidelines. The bag doesn’t come cheap at $200 but considering the utilitarian front, it might be worth the money. Another good aspect of the bag is the compartments; HP has designed a separate compartment for each device alongside a charging port....

HP, the erstwhile market leader in PCs, has jumped back into the mobile race with an oddly pitched device. Two years after it shut down webOS, HP is testing waters again in the mobile segment with a couple of Android based phablets, the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab and HP Slate 7 VoiceTab. As the name suggests, HP isn’t ready to call them phablets, but rather, they want to pitch them as tablets capable of making calls....

Once the Screen Capture app is fired up, it displays a prompt with options like Scroll, Partial, Edit, Share and Save. With the Scroll option, users can preview the screenshot before saving it. However, the best part is that the users can choose more content by simply scrolling down. The Scroll option means a great deal for capturing those extra large screenshots. The Partial option is nothing but a rebadged cropping tool....

Appearance and Display The elephant in the room of course is that foldable display. There are 3 parts to this display. The front of the phone when folded has a 6.6-inch display with a resolution of 2480 x 1148 pixels and aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The display on the rear when folded measures 6.38-inches with a resolution of 2480 x 892 pixels and an unusual aspect ratio of 25:9 due to the array of cameras residing on a strip on the side....
