OnePlus has already tipped its hand with regard to the OnePlus 11 design, but these new images posted over on 91mobiles seem to show the phone being used out and about. They’re not the best quality shots – such surreptitious snapshots never are – but they do offer a good overview of the OnePlus 11’s key design characteristics. On the back of the phone we see the OnePlus 11’s huge, circular camera module, together with its prominent Hasselblad branding....
It looks like soon both Pandora and iRadio will be offering an Internet radio music streaming service. Pandora has been on the scene since 2000, offering music for free. It offers recommendations based on the music it knows you enjoy. Sometimes it works really well, where you happen upon great suggestions, and other times it happens upon suggestions that have you hitting the forward button too often. Nevertheless, it’s become extremely popular and has spawned similar services such as Spotify....
Signing Up The sign up is really straight forward; choose a name, password, username and email. From there, it takes you to a few different screens to help you collect your saved videos from different sites around the web. Importing When you go through the typical sign up for a free account, you can import videos from a bunch of sites. This is pretty cool if you are an active video blogger or make a bunch of videos and post them to different sites....
The appeal of collecting vinyl has a lot to do with the ritual of listening to it. The extra effort that is required can make fans feel more connected to their musical heroes. While there is an undeniable appeal to owning something tangible in a largely digital world, vinyl does pose a significant problem: portability. Fortunately, there is a solution. And no, it isn’t Audio Technica’s Soundburger from the 1980s....
Installation There are no official packages (yet) for Ubuntu, so if you want to install Qute, the fastest way for any distribution is the official website. Download the file, decompress it, and launch the executable “Qute”. A first good point about it: Qute is pretty small and can be easily installed or put on a USB drive. However, do take note that some advanced features may require an extra package called PANDOC....
Databases aren’t something most people use casually. Even if you’re using one for personal use, you’re probably tracking something fairly involved. This is especially true if you’re using a heavyweight application like dBase or Microsoft Visual FoxPro. Because of this, chances are good that if something goes wrong with your database, it’s a pretty big deal. Whether you’re storing important client data or any other aspect of your business, you don’t want it to go missing....
1. Change the Splash Screen The splash screen is the first thing you see when you boot up RetroPie. It is the image that you see as RetroPie is loading. The default is simply the RetroPie logo. Admittedly, it’s a pretty cool logo, but it can get a little boring. Fortunately, you can jazz up your RetroPie build by changing your splash screen to something with a little more personality. You can create your own splash screen, or you can choose from a variety of pre-loaded splash screens....
We’re not the first people to notice how time-consuming these checkboxes can be, and there are extensions for both Chrome and Firefox to allow you to increase your productivity in this area. Chrome At the time of writing, the best-regarded extension in the Chrome Web Store is Check All. As the name implies, it doesn’t give much flexibility with the boxes you can check – you can mark all or nothing....

Once installed, just open the app and you’re ready to get started....
You can wake your computer at any time by pressing the power button or a key on your keyboard. But what if you want it to automatically wake up at a certain time?

As per its previous generations, Apple’s iPhone only comes with a maximum frame rate of 30fps. As we all know, a 60fps video is sharper and smoother than a 30fps video. Of course, the resulting video size of a 60fps video is bigger compared to a 30fps video file size, but that shouldn’t be an issue for a 64GB or 128GB iPhone 6/6 Plus. If you want to see just what your iPhone’s rear-facing camera is capable of, simply follow the easy steps below to enable 60fps recording on your iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus:...
But the state of California doesn’t believe that is keeping you well protected. They passed a law banning devices from shipping with default passwords, such as “123456” and “password123.” Should this law be stretched further? Should devices be required to only allow complex passwords? Our Opinion Miguel says it depends on how complex the passwords need to be and took the thought wider than just devices. “Services that don’t contain any crucial personal data (like gaming forums) shouldn’t encourage such things” because if you aren’t using the same password for other more sensitive services, such as email or Paypal, there really isn’t any real danger....
But what happens when it’s your phone manufacturer that is sending you those ads? That was precisely the problem for Galaxy S8 users. Samsung has been sending them ads via push notifications from a preinstalled app. We asked our writers, “Should phone manufacturers be allowed to send ads via push notifications?” Our Opinion Simon calls this “quite a dirty trick” and a “nefarious tactic.” He believes that if phone manufacturers wants to advertise on their devices, they should “provide an easy and obvious way to disable” it....

This train of thought that something is “too simple” to carry viruses, however, can be great for hackers. They can use this false sense of security to sneak malware into a file that’s “too basic” to carry them. Recently, for example, there was a nasty spike of attacks as subtitles malware were being used to gain control of people’s computers. Why Subtitle Files? Getting a virus from a subtitle file seems very strange!...
