A robot vacuum is a work-from-home companion that can keep you healthy

21 3 月, 2020 Nicholas Sutrich 0

Everyone wants a house free from sickness. It’s a no-brainer scenario. But while people are talking about cleaning the things that hands touch daily, like doorknobs and sink handles, very little attention is being paid to the floor you walk on. That’s because, as a culture, we’re just not very aware of what’s going on under our shoes. Paying attention to this critical detail could be a big way to prevent illnesses from entering your home in the first place and a major step towards having peace of mind if you’re someone who works at home, even if it’s only temporary.

But don’t take it from me, take it from medical experts. A recent study conducted on SARS-COV-2 (the virus that’s also known as Coronavirus in the news) showed that the virus can live on cardboard for up to 24 hours, and up to 2-3 days on plastic and stainless steel. Daniel Kuritzkes, an infectious disease expert at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, had this to say regarding viruses like the Coronavirus (COVID-19/SARS-COV-2)…

Satechi’s Backlit Keyboard is one of my new favorite desk accessories

20 3 月, 2020 Hayato Huseman 0

A good keyboard can make or break your productivity throughout the day.

I’ve been working from home for about five years now, and a large portion of that time was spent on the iMac that sat on my desk until just a few months ago, when I sold it in favor of a laptop-and-monitor setup. I stuck with mostly first-party peripherals with my iMac — save for the miserable Magic Mouse that I quickly swapped for a Logitech MX Master — which means I’m no stranger to Apple’s Magic Keyboard 2.

It’s a great keyboard, with similar key travel to older MacBook Pro models, a minimal design, and a small footprint. But that small footprint meant that there was no number pad — Apple eventually released a wider variant of the Magic Keyboard that reintroduced the number pad — and equally frustrating, the keyboard recharges over Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector rather than the more ubiquitous USB-C.

That’s where Satechi’s Compact Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard comes in. Donning the same Space …

Best sports video games to play while sports are delayed

20 3 月, 2020 Nick Tylwalk 0

Lean on these sports games to get your fill of athletic competition until the real thing returns.

Though it’s far from the most important thing right now, the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak has done the nearly unthinkable by bringing the sports world to a standstill. In the U.S. alone, the NBA, NHL, MLS and NASCAR all had to suspend their seasons, MLB pushed back Opening Day, and news about tennis and golf events being postponed seems to be coming daily. It’s a worldwide trend as well, with soccer pausing in the stretch run of almost all club leagues and serious questions being asked about the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo.

It’s an unprecedented state of affairs in the lifetime of any sports fan, and it’s so far unclear when things will be able to get back on track. The leagues are turning to some creative ways to provide some entertainment in the meantime, with the NBA offering its League Pass for free, and NASCAR drivers teaming to go iRacing in virtual races that will air on broadca…

FCC: ‘One or more’ carriers violated federal law selling location data

1 2 月, 2020 Stephen Warwick 0

The question now is, what will be the punishment?

What you need to know

The FCC has concluded its extensive investigation into US carriers and location data.
It has determined that one or more carriers violated federal law by selling real-time data.
Measures against those carriers are now being considered.

The FCC has found that one or more US carriers broke federal law by selling customer’s real-time location data, after an extensive investigation.

As reported by The Verge, FCC chair Ajit Pai has written to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. In that letter Pai stated:

I am writing to follow up on my letter of December 3, 2019 regarding the status of the
FCC’s investigation into the disclosure of consumers’ real-time location data. Fulfilling the
commitment I made in that letter, I wish to inform you that the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau has completed its extensive investigation and that it has concluded that one or more wireless carriers apparently violated federal l…

How to watch Studio Ghibli films on Netflix in the U.S., Canada, & Japan

1 2 月, 2020 Jared DiPane 0

Netflix has announced that beginning on February 1 it will begin bringing Studio Ghibli films to its service. In total, there will be 21 films that make an appearance, and they will come in three phases. The films will be made available globally through a distribution partner Wild Bunch International, though this rollout will exclude some big markets.

For those not familiar, Studio Ghibli was founded back in 1985 by the directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata and the producer Toshio Suzuki. It is a Japanese animation film studio that has produced feature films, short films, TV commercials, and even worked with video game studios on visual elements for games. Six of the studio’s films are among the 10 highest-grossing anime films from Japan, and the company has many other accolades. It’s most successful title was Spirited Away, which made over $360 million worldwide and was voted the fourth-best film of the 21st century as picked by 177 film critics from around the world in 2016 and…

‘Super ISO’ trademark foretells upgraded night mode for Galaxy S20 series

31 1 月, 2020 Muhammad Jarir Kanji 0

ISO settings help the camera deal with different lighting conditions.

What you need to know

Samsung was recently awarded a trademark for ‘Super ISO’ by the UK Intellectual Property Office.
ISO relates to light capture in cameras, indicating the company is working on an improved night mode for its phone.
Rumors from industry insiders suggest the feature is being prepped for the Galaxy S20 series.

Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series is reportedly getting a few downgrades in the camera department, but that doesn’t mean cameras are becoming less of a priority for Samsung’s flagships. Indeed, as new trademark awarded to Samsung indicates, the S20 series’ cameras will be one of the phones’ most significant distinctions.

The ‘Super ISO’ trademark that was filed just earlier today by Samsung to the UK Intellectual Property Office suggests the company is working on a souped-up night mode for its phone.

ISO, for those who don’t know, is a setting that determines the sensitivity of the image sen…

Huawei surpassed Apple in smartphone sales for 2019, trailing Samsung

31 1 月, 2020 Muhammad Jarir Kanji 0

Samsung lead the pack with nearly 300 million units sold.

What you need to know

Huawei took the second-place spot in the smartphone market from Apple in 2019.
It raked in sales of 238.5 million units, compared to Apple’s 196.2 million.
The biggest winner, though, was Samsung, with 296.5 million shipments during the year.

Despite overwhelming pressure by the U.S., Huawei says it can handle anything else the Trump administration throws its way. And the numbers seem to bear that out.

Earlier estimates of Huawei’s unit sales during 2019 pegged the number to an impressive 240 million. That estimate has now been corroborated by Counterpoint Research, one of the leading market research firms in the tech world.

The Hong Kong-based firm estimates that Huawei sold 238.5 million phones during 2019. Not only is that much better than the Chinese giant’s own expectations following its addition to the U.S. Entity List, but the number also marks the first time Huawei has surpassed Apple in …

Should you buy a Wi-Fi 6 router in 2019?

31 1 月, 2020 Samuel Contreras 0

Best answer: Yes, if you have an older router you should consider moving up to Wi-Fi 6, especially since the prices have come down and new phones will likely support the tech. If you already have a fast 802.11AC router it won’t be worth it, however.

Entry level Wi-Fi 6 networking: Asus RT-AX56U ($130 at Amazon)
Wi-Fi 6 in a mesh: Netgear Nighthawk MK62 ($230 at Amazon)

Speed and capacity upgrades

If it’s time for you to buy a new router or you need to get your first router, it’s worth it to be ready for new Wi-Fi devices. Wi-Fi 6 can handle more devices at once and will be able to keep speed and latency more consistent even under heavy load.

Since most people keep their routers for years and may upgrade their phones or computers multiple times before getting a new router, it’s best to get a router that’s ready for the future. Thankfully, Wi-Fi 6 routers have come down in price and are finally ready for mainstream users.

Nearly every networking company has some support for Wi-F…

Protect your S10e in style with these great cases

31 1 月, 2020 Ara Wagoner 0

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S10e doesn’t have that fancy new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, but that means that screen protectors aren’t a special brand of confusing. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the S10e adds a different challenge — and to be sure, there are far fewer cases around for the S10e right now than the larger models — but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some top-notch cases to protect the S10e’s hole-punch screen.

Clear as crystal

Spigen Liquid Crystal Air

Staff pick

The Liquid Crystal line is my favorite clear case around — well, except for the sparkly Liquid Crystal Glitter variant — because it’s thin, grippy, and doesn’t get in the way. Perfect port cutouts and easy application make a good case great.

$12 at Amazon

Unique hybrid

Ringke Fusion-X

The Ringke Fusion-X is a unique hybrid case we can’t get enough of. The clear back allows your S10e to shine through, and at the same time, there’s a rugged bumper that offers reliable shock absorption a…
