People often get confused when it comes to choosing the right one they need to improve their environment’s air quality. Humidifiers help combat low humidity by adding moisture to the air in the form of liquid mist/vapor. Dehumidifiers, on the other hand, remove moisture from the atmosphere. Which one do you need? why? We try to answer these questions in the paragraphs below....
On the PC, iCloud Photos provides a convenient way to gain access to any photos taken from your iOS devices. But in reality, it comes nowhere close to the convenience that a Mac’s Photos app provides — in fact, it feels clunky, outdated, and worst of all, unintuitive. And therein lies the problem. You may have noticed numerous instances where iCloud Photos simply fails to download photos taken from other devices....
spell check tool. The best example here would be MS Word. Similarly, many online services and independent tools have tried to feature this behavior. However, there may be occasions when you need to check the spelling of words in an application that does not have a built-in spelling checker. The most common example of such a tool would be Notepad. Now, you can always open a word processor which supports the checking of spellings....
While the basic function of any to-do app is clear, a lot is happening under the hood that can go amiss. We will try and uncover those aspects that are seldom talked about. Let’s begin. 1. User Interface Both Any.do and Microsoft To-Do apps carry a polished and beautiful interface. Microsoft To-Do comes with no bottom or sidebar. Just a bunch of smart lists at the top and under them are the lists and groups that you created....
Mouse Without Borders is a free app available at Microsoft Garage that often offers experimental apps and tools. This app allows you to use a single mouse and keyboard across multiple screens and different systems. However, Mouse Without Borders was not working as advertised. Here are some possible solutions including the one that eventually worked for me. Mouse Without Borders works from Windows 7 to 10. It is seamless even if you have different Windows OS versions installed on separate computers....

Recently, the company released a new Opera Touch browser which is aimed to address the growing pain-points of the current smartphones. The phones are getting taller and the Opera Touch has pushed all the relevant buttons as well as options at the bottom. The default Opera browser is good enough for daily usage.

The best part about these earphones is that they hang around the neck, and you don’t have to worry about losing earbuds even if they fall out of your ears. Plus, both the BackBeat FIT 2100 and the X4 are sweatproof and waterproof. But how do these earphones fare in the long run? Do they deliver as promised or are they just another name among the scores of other audio accessories?...
Spotify outside the US and UK , it’s limited to just the free version. If you live in a country where Spotify is not yet launched, you cannot buy a premium membership because of credit card restrictions. And because of the ads in the free membership, people take up YouTube as an alternative and start making playlists on it to listen to songs. However, just like the Spotify free subscription, YouTube playlists cannot be listened to on Android....
Minus.com is another way to share your pictures, documents, music, videos and files. File sharing tools are one for every byte. Not all of them are as clutter free and minimalistic. The no-frills attitude starts from the sign-up itself. Just a username and password does it. You don’t need to register to use Minus, but registration allows you to manage your gallery and also access it anytime from anywhere....
The company recently announced Realme UI, the Color OS based Android skin, to ship with the company’s new device as well as update the existing ones.

Now that Realme is developing flagship devices with high-end CPUs, those phones will be compared to the rivals. High-end Realme devices are comparable to OnePlus phones in terms of hardware and mostly differ in software experience....
Of course there are software like Windows Media Center and Apple Front Row to handle such systems and they do it exceptionally well. But there are also some cool free and open source alternatives to these proprietary software. One of them is XBMC, a tool which is not only open source but is also available for all the popular platforms i.e Windows, OS X and Linux. Note: Though XBMC is cross-platform, we will be looking at the Windows version in the post....

Well, that’s what we are going to answer in this post today as we pit the Sony WF-1000XM3 against the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro to see which wireless earphones are better suited for you....
Quality Issues It Scratches! Oh No, it Scratches! The YouTube video that perhaps started the questioning on quality issues on the Note 7 was directed more towards Gorilla Glass 5. We’ve already spoken about how Corning had tried to make it more shatter-proof, but it seems that scratching wasn’t as good as previous generations of Gorilla Glass. We’ve heard from Corning on their side of the story too, but since the Galaxy Note 7 was the first device to be shipped with the new glass, it started a snowball effect which hasn’t yet ceased....
So today I am going to talk about a recent app that was featured on XDA, called Search Everything. After you install the app from the Play Store and open it for the first time, it will index all the files that are on your device. And when I say everything, I really mean it. The app even indexes the files that have the .nomedia file in the parent folder, which typically ignores them according to Android media indexing....
import caller image for a contact from the user’s Facebook profile. One of the tricks embedded the profile picture to phone’s memory while the other one overlapped the default caller screen and started a slide show of user’s photo on Facebook. Now the problem with both of these methods I found was that I was not able to choose a specific photo from the user’s album and embed the image in the phone’s memory rather than creating a slideshow....
Apple includes its own version of smart home scenes in HomeKit and iOS 10, which require their own setup if you have several smart home accessories to control. To explore these further, it’s first important to point out the difference between scenes and groups. Scenes vs. Groups Scenes aren’t quite groups and groups aren’t quite scenes. Scenes can control several smart home accessories, but they don’t have individual control over those accessories in the same way groups might....
This is the next post in the series of printer related posts that I intend to put up while testing the review unit that folks at HP sent me. As I mentioned in my previous article, while I will be using the HP printer to demonstrate the steps they should be more or less the same in any other printer and hence readers among you who need help with the instructions for a printer of different brand are welcome to read on too....
Even when I am sitting in my home with no one around, I have to use fingerprint because turning it on/off isn’t easy either. This is where smart lock comes into the picture.
