A few months back, the team at Sandmarc asked if I’d like to review their wide lens for iPhone X. In the past, having covered a handful of iPhone lenses, I remained skeptical. That was until I got the kit in hand. I have to say that Sandmarc’s wide lens kit pleasantly surprised and impressed me. The Sandmarc Wide Lens Edition contains a wide-angle lens, a case-mount, a clip-on mount, lens protectors, and a carrying pouch....
Most screen protectors are semi-soft plastic — often very cheap plastic — that are easily scuffed, susceptible to air bubbles, and sometimes rough around the edges. ScreenGuardz Pure is a firm piece of tempered glass, shipped in a cardboard box with a rigid plastic tray for protection and installation. While the price is around twice what you’d pay for a good plastic alternative, ScreenGuardz Pure is optically gorgeous, boasting scratch and impact protection, plus a warranty program entitling buyers to an unlimited number of lower-cost replacements, one at a time, in the event that it’s damaged....
Rick and Morty recruit Elon Tusk, an alternate universe version of Elon Musk, to be part of their crew in “One Crew Over the Crewcoo’s Morty” - and yes, Tusk is voiced by the man himself. The latest episode of Rick and Morty season 4 is an exhaustive takedown of the heist movie genre, in which Rick strips heists down to their individual tropes and creates a machine called Heistatron to automatically generate heists....
But while smart gadgets can make it simple to automate your lights, vacuuming or other chores, they can also leave you open to privacy and security issues. If your smart device includes a camera, hackers could even use these vulnerabilities to spy on you. Video doorbells are one of the smart devices that come with potential security issues. Five popular video doorbells failed security tests in recent months, leaving users open to unforeseen issues....
The official Instagram account of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina posted an image of actress Kiernan Shipka standing between two of the stars from CW’s Riverdale, potentially teasing a crossover episode. Although both shows are on different networks, both are based on characters that initially appeared in the pages of Archie Comics. In fact, the character Sabrina Spellman was first introduced in a 1962 comic called Archie’s Mad House, by writer George Gladir and artist Dan DeCarlo....
A new report on how the global chip makers stacked up for Q3 suggests that Qualcomm likely has the iPhone 12 to thank for solid growth and taking the number one spot with almost $5 billion in quarterly revenue. That almost a 40% increase from Qualcomm’s 2019 Q3. However, Apple’s work on an in-house modem is a reminder of the looming hit to Qualcomm’s revenue in the future. The analysis from TrendForce today highlights that thanks to the iPhone 12 using Qualcomm’s 5G chips, the San Diego-based chipmaker was able to edge out Broadcom as the number one global IC design company ranked by revenue and that’s even with the iPhone 12 lineup debuting later than normal this year....
Health accessories for iPhones, iPads, and iPods have become more numerous and diverse over the years, evolving from Apple’s early Nike+ run sensors to heart rate monitors, increasingly complex Wi-Fi scales with body fat and ambient room sensors, blood pressure cuff docks… and even Bluetooth toothbrushes. Some health accessories are undeniably useful, but others raise the question “why?” — why pay more to see my weight on an iPhone rather than the scale’s built-in screen?...
Building on the very successful Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 7 on the 2nd of August. The company’s latest Note packs in many firsts for the series and also reintroduces some key features that were missing from its predecessor. The Note 7 aims to be the Inspector Gadget of mobile devices as Samsung attempts to pack as much functionality they can fit under the hood....
If you’re having trouble with AirPods Max connecting to your iPhone and other devices or experiencing other issues, there are a couple of solutions to try. Follow along for how to reboot and reset AirPods Max. AirPods Max don’t have a dedicated power button, so there’s no option to power cycle them like you would an iPhone, iPad, or more traditional device. However, Apple’s made it easy to force reboot or reset AirPods Max if you’re having connectivity or other problems with the headphones....
A Retina display may have been some time coming on the iPad mini, but the general verdict appears to be that it was worth the wait. Many are querying the price, especially now that the full-size iPad Air is so much smaller and lighter than its predecessors, and costs just $100 more. But if portability is key, reviewers seem every bit as impressed by the iPad mini as I was by the Air....
Macotakara, the same publication to report on an iOS-inspired, taller iPod nano, claims that Apple is preparing an updated iPod touch for launch this fall. The site says that this new iPod touch will match the next-generation iPhone in providing a taller, four-inch display. Previously leaked next-generation iPod touch front-frame Also reportedly on tap is the A5 processor from the iPhone 4S and a rear-shell that matches the iPad. The iPad sports a buffed aluminum shell, rather than shiny stainless steel like on the current iPod touch....

It is expected that the machine is configured with the following tools: OllyDbg Assembly programming knowledge CFF explorer Patching native binaries When the source code is not provided, it is still possible to patch the corresponding software binaries in order to remove various security restrictions imposed by the vendor, as well as fixing the inherent bugs in the source code....
In the previous article, we have discussed injection attacks in Thick Client Applications specifically in DVTA. In this article, we will discuss how to decompile .NET applications to abuse the vulnerabilities exposed through the source code. To better understand this article, it is recommended to read the previous parts of this series if you haven’t done yet. There are multiple tools available for decompiling .NET applications. We are going to use dotPeek in this article....
I’ll cut to the chase with this one. Garmin Speak isn’t for me as I prefer Apple’s CarPlay, but it does have a few interesting features that make it worth considering for Alexa fans. If you rely on your iPhone for GPS and want a simple dash-mounted display, Garmin Speak is a handy and compact navigation solution. It features a small screen that displays navigation cues like your next turn direction and distance, and Garmin Speak even displays lane guidance which Apple Maps only added with iOS 11....
The UK entered glove-wearing weather in the last week or two, leaving the annual problem of how to use touchscreen devices when out and about. If you’ve ever used cheap touchscreen gloves, you’ve probably been disappointed. Most aren’t good at either job: they aren’t very warm, and their touchscreen performance is poor. Jordan was impressed when he tried out a couple of pairs of Mujjo’s touchscreen gloves almost two years ago, and as I still use the company’s Leather Wallet Case as the daily driver for my iPhone 6s, I thought I’d put the latest gloves to the test …...
The Z1 is still an over-tall slab, but there’s now an aluminium frame to both add class and also provide some rounded corners, these don’t dig into the palms quite as much as they did on the Z. There are still huge bezels top and and bottom, not helped by the use of on-screen virtual Android controls, meaning that in almost all applications, content only starts a full inch above the bottom of the phone....
See that little $190 daughter card up there^? It houses 240GB of Transcend SSD and it could replace the 64GB or 128GB SSD that came in your MacBook Air in as little as 5 minutes. Even better, Transcend just released larger versions in 480GB and 960GB sizes to blow your SATA III MacBook Air or Pro into new worlds of space. Keep in mind these are SATA-based SSDs and Apple’s latest round of MacBook Pro/Airs came with speedier PCIe SSDs so you can’t use these on Apple’s late 2013/2014 models (see bottom of the article for compatibility list)....
An API or Application Programming Interface is a set of programming instructions for accessing a web-based software application. In other words, a set of commands used by an individual program to communicate with one another directly and use each other’s functions to get information. For example, a Google website can have API for various functions like search, translations, calendars, etc. In general API’s are like below, they have server name, paths....
Reuters is today running a profile on Apple CEO Tim Cook. There’s of course the inevitable angle in there: stock down, no major new products launched, questions asked about whether Cook has what it takes. But what emerges is a picture of a man who knows he isn’t Steve Jobs and isn’t trying to be. Yet who also doesn’t shy away from making big decisions in tough circumstances. Insiders also said that Cook’s quiet demeanour shouldn’t be mistaken for lack of steel....
When the first generation Apple Watch debuted in 2015, people often called it the Dick Tracy watch because you could make phone calls from your wrist like the comic book strip detective known for his 2-way wrist radio. Apple Watch wasn’t fully there yet, however, because it needed a nearby iPhone to actually carry those phone calls. Answering the phone on your watch could be convenient, but it was mostly just a neat demo since you had to carry the iPhone anyway....
