Popular camera app Halide today is releasing an update that will add exclusive and unique features to the forthcoming iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. The update also packs some great updates to existing iPhones and iPads as well. The first major new feature is the ability to read out the technical specifications of the iPhone’s camera. Apple typically hides this information from the user, especially on iOS and within the Photos app....

One of the top features introduced with macOS Monterey is the Shortcuts app. Previewed during the WWDC21 keynote, the operating system is set to launch this fall. This marks the first time the Shortcuts app has been available on the Mac. In 2018, Apple renamed the Workflow app as Shortcuts, but it was only in 2019 with iOS 13 that this app became default on the iPhone and iPad. It allows users to create macros for executing specific tasks on their devices....

Rockstar Games announced today that it’s bringing Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the ninth game in the series originally in 2005, to iOS users. You’ll find the full game packed into the iOS version for iPhone and iPad, which Rockstar notes in its press release was “originally designed with mobile gameplay in mind” for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). But you’ll also find some new features including some that take advantage of the iPhone and iPad’s touch display, iOS specific features like 3D Touch, and the larger iPad Pro:...

This will happen on April 30 (basically in a month + a few days), and, as interesting an idea it seemed at first, I can’t say that I’ll miss it. It could have been a really useful collaborative tool, but it never caught on so it’s going into internet limbo. It’s already read-only, so you can’t create any new waves. Still, you can (until April 30) export your existing Waves to PDF or HTML....

Gotham has finally come to an end, but it’s left a lasting legacy over the DC TV world. It’s been a surprise hit and ran for so long due to its ever-increasing fan base. The prequel series created something brand new for the Batman world and it really worked. We got to see a number of characters during their earliest days in the DC city. Each of them had a perfectly designed costume to match their alter ego....

Out of the original cast of Grey’s Anatomy, it was Richard Webber who had already had a life’s worth of experiences among the cast. Being the chief of surgery had meant he had started out in a position of authority, and all the subsequent times he’s had since have led him to become one of the most mature characters on the show. Due to this maturity, we’ve had a number of words of wisdom that Richard has laid out on the characters, and by extension the audience....

Former NSA hacker Patrick Wardle found a security breach in Microsoft Office for Mac that can lead hackers to take control of the entire Mac. Wardle was able to gain access to the computer with just a simple Office document containing malicious codes. As reported by Vice, the breach is based on the “macro” feature, which allows users to automate some tasks in Microsoft Office apps with custom commands and instructions....

With no included method of attaching AirTags to a keychain, cases are a necessity for most AirTag users. Apple has their own first-party accessories for AirTags, starting at $29, and we’ve done a breakdown of the best AirTag keychains, but many have been creating custom AirTag keychains using 3D printers to fit their own needs. With 3D printers like the Ender 3 breaking below the $200 price point, they have seen far more use in the home....

Even though Final Cut Pro X curiously doesn’t support external GPUs yet, DaVinci Resolve is another popular NLE that already works with eGPUs on macOS. In fact, the $299 Studio edition supports multiple GPUs, which can have a noticeable effect on both timeline and render/export performance. I’ve been super impressed with the relentlessness that Blackmagic Design, the creators behind DaVinci Resolve, has displayed while iterating on its hardware and software products....

Last Friday despite problems and concerns, the Chinese government in Beijing granted Google a renewal for its Internet content provider license. China is currently the world’s largest single market of Internet users due to its overwhelming population. Without the license Google would be no longer able to operate in China, so it’s a pretty big deal. The most recent conflict was over Google’s decision to cease censoring search results – as per the Chinese government’s demands....

Grey’s Anatomy is one of the longest-running shows in the history of television. The popular medical drama has been on the air for 15 seasons, dating back to 2005. That’s 345 episodes and counting! Yet with such a high volume, it’s hard to remember which episodes stand out as the absolute best and worst. But don’t worry folks, we’ve got you covered! With Season 16 set to premiere on September 26th, it’s time to take a look back....

GTA Online is an integral part of GTA V that can be played for free. As the name suggests, it requires online connectivity to play the ever-evolving world that offers up to 30 players at once from the Online menu tab. Now, if you’re one of the GTA Online players and facing the infinite loading black screen issue when you enter Agency then you can go through this full article to know more about it apart from getting some of the possible workarounds too....

Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers has an alternate producer’s cut ending that was very difficult to find for years. John Carpenter’s Halloween was only the beginning of what would become one of the most profitable horror franchises, consisting of 11 films (including Rob Zombie’s remakes and David Gordon Green’s reboot) and expanding to other media, such as novels, comic books, and a video game. But like with many other franchises in the film industry, not all films have been well received....

Last Friday, Philips expanded on its lineup of outdoor smart lighting products that it began introducing last year. At CES 2019, Philips revealed the Hue Outdoor sensor, a $49.95 product that we were able to go hands-on with while in Vegas. Like the company’s existing indoor sensor, the outdoor sensor allows users to automate smart lighting via motion sensing. Specifications Wireless installation Battery-powered Weatherproof Automates your lights Motion, light, and temperature sensor 2-year minimum battery life IP54 rating 2-year warranty Works with Apple HomeKit The advantage of the IP54-rated outdoor sensor is that it’s weatherproof, meaning that it’s been engineered for harsher outdoor environments....

It’s the world ruled by smart devices all around us. Smartphones, smart TV, smart watches, everything is turning to be much smarter every day. But what makes them smarter? Of course the new technology. But think about a situation when you have the smartest device in your hand but you don’t have an internet connection available in it. Can you imagine a day without a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection in your handest?...

Hisense smartphones are getting more powerful internally while they are getting slimmer and slenderer externally. But there are issues. You might get depressed when a tiny button ruins specific function of their smartphones, especially the power button not working problem. Manufacturers have started replacing physical buttons with its on-screen digital counterpart, but the power button has stayed and will probably stay for a long time as it is responsible for booting/rebooting, allow the phone to boot into safe mode, take a screenshot, allow to light up the screen and turn it back off and other numerous functionalities....

Evercoss is an Indonesian based handset company who is trying hard to win over Samsung in the Indonesian smartphone shipment share in which the former succeeded in the year 2015. Even though Evercoss’s overall market share is billed by feature phones, a good number of smartphones are also available in the market from the company. However, smartphones have a nice bunch of really smart features, we got to face with some issues at times related to them....
