Here is a screenshot of Unity Dash in action: While you can access any application (present locally as well as remotely) through Dash, sadly it doesn’t let you access session management options such as logout, shutdown, and more. That’s certainly a limiting factor, especially for those who prefer keyboard over mouse given that they can easily access Dash by hitting the Windows key or the Super key. This means that you either have to remember the commands (as well as their respective command line options) corresponding to these options or access them by clicking the “session” icon and choosing the action you’re interested in:...

The Information’s sources say the company will move sports out of the main Prime Video app in order to declutter the main offering and highlight its high profile sporting acquisitions. It’s not clear yet whether the company would seek to charge extra for the sports focused app, or whether users will still be able to access all content via their Prime Video app.

With a little improvisation and some MacGyver-style know-how, you can easily amplify your smartphone’s speakers using common items from around the house. As you can see in the infographic below, there are two methods, depending on where the speakers are located on your phone.

That hasn’t quite happened with audio cables, where seemingly ancient formats like 3.5mm and optical audio continue to kick around even in modern devices.

Analog (3.5mm/Aux) Explained Probably the most common audio cable format used to this day, you’ll find analog cabling in everything from PC speakers connected via that lime green 3....

Daily Mail even called this year as the “pottiest year for gadgets ever.” I couldn’t agree more. Here’s why. Sony Steel Edition SmartWatch 3 Watch out, Apple. Sony is also taking a stab at wearable devices with this matte-finished steel edition SmartWatch 3. Aesthetically, there’s a twist of classic elegance and a dab of casual feel on this watch.

What Is Bitcoin? Here’s an illustration that should help you understand Bitcoins. Suppose you want to send money from the USA to Europe. You can either use wire transfer or internationally accepted payment services like PayPal. For such transfer services, you end up paying a lot in fees: Transaction fees Currency conversion fees Service fee to the bank In the end you end up paying a large chunk of the transfer amount, roughly 2% to 10% as a service cost....

Pokemon Go is all over the Internet, especially the social media platforms, and it is almost impossible for one to browse the Web without seeing at least one post on Pokemon Go. It might be a huge breakthrough for many Pokemon fans, but it can be an annoyance for many people who think Pokemon is a childish game that some adults drool over. If you hate seeing Pokemon Go everywhere or are trying to fight the urge just like me, then in this article we will tell you how you can completely get rid of Pokemon Go from your web activity....

Thanks to IFTTT, Zapier and HTTP (among other technologies), the Bttn can control almost any Internet-enabled device or service. Once connected to the Internet, the possibilities of what the Bttn can do are practically endless. Example Use of the Bttn The Bttn website gives some great examples of how you can use it. For instance, you can make it so that your child presses the button as soon as they get home from school which will automatically send a text message to you letting you know they’re home....

I find Leopard’s sidebar to be a very handy place to store my most frequently used folders and as a way to access any external or USB drives I have plugged in at the moment. What I can’t stand, however, are the obnoxious capitalized categories (DEVICES, PLACES, etc.) that Apple forces upon us. Let’s change those to normal capitalization. Before going any further, I must warn you that while this particular example is very easy, in general you should not change files in the System Folder....

We’ve been finding some incredible deals in the run-up to Black Friday, and now we’ve come across one of the best offers on the Nintendo Switch. Not only does this bundled deal include the original Nintendo Switch console, but it also includes the Pokémon Scarlet video game for a grand total of just £286.99, which is a saving of £62.99. And to make this deal even more tempting, it’s £55 cheaper than buying the two products separately, meaning that you are essentially getting the latest Pokémon for free since both Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have a starting price of £49....

The Screens Clear for iOS has three screens, what I like to call layers because of how it seems they are stacked on each other. These screens include the settings layer, your list categories, then the actual list. They are each colour-coded, so you know where you exactly are, since the set up of each layer is quite identical without it. The settings layer includes the button for your lists, as well as theme options, tips and tricks, a page where you can follow the Clear team on Twitter, as well as more settings....

If you have multiple accounts on your Mac, you might have already enabled the parental control feature for those accounts. And now, if you have just created a new account on your Mac and wish to apply the same parental controls, you can use the Mac’s Copy Parental Controls feature to copy the settings from one account to another. Copy Parental Controls from One Account to Another on a Mac You are going to use the System Preferences panel to do the job....

Why Is Dillo So Light? Before jumping in, you should know exactly what Dillo doesn’t include, just to temper your expectations. Dillo does not include Flash, Java, or Javascript and only has limited support for frames. It also doesn’t allow you to create a user profile. Presumably, that will be most of the modern Internet out of the picture, but who knows? We’ll see. The advantage of all that feature-cutting is that it will run on almost anything – even a 486 with dial-up Internet....

I can now adjust my Mac’s volume to a blissful silence. This tip will come in really handy if you really dislike the “pop-pop-pop” sound when increasing/decreasing the volume (via keyboard shortcut). There are two way’s to silence OS X’s volume popping sound: Open up “System Preferences” from the Apple Menu. Click on the “Sound” section. In the Sound window, uncheck the option for “Play feedback when volume is changed” under the Sound tab....
