The public release of iOS 12.1 should be sometime within the next week, possibly following Apple’s October 30 event. With that release comes the introduction of Group FaceTime, which brings some caveats. Read along to learn more…. With iOS 12.1 potentially coming soon, it’s worth noting that video Group FaceTime will not be available on all devices. In Apple’s user guide for iOS 12.1, the company mentions that iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus will only get the feature in the audio form....

PSU is an important part of a PC build. It controls the power of the system and keeps it from experiencing any kind of short circuit or other accidents. A good quality PSU can extend the life of your PC components. However, there is an active about the PSU. The burning question is which way should the PSU fan face? PSU Fan Up or Down.

Apple officially entered the original content market last year with its ‘Planet of the Apps’ reality TV series, but viewer and critic reactions to the series were less than positive. Now, vocal entrepreneur and star of the series, Gary Vaynerchuk is slamming Apple for the way it marketed the show… ‘Planet of the Apps’ was a Shark Tank-style show in which developers came to pitch their app ideas to a panel of mentors, including Vaynerchuk, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba, and Will....

Update: Apple subsequently fixed the issue. I’m unsure exactly which update did so, but everything is fine again in macOS 10.12.4. One thing to note if you have more than one Mac: when you switch on iCloud drive, all of the files and folders that were on your desktop will be moved to a Desktop folder inside iCloud Drive – see Apple’s support document on this. Documents from your other Mac(s) will be found inside a folder with the same name as the Mac....

Over the past month, I spent several weeks testing the battery of an Apple watch. Not the Apple Watch, of course, but the first product Apple released with the option of being worn like one: the sixth-generation iPod nano. Back in 2010, Steve Jobs mentioned during the “instantly wearable” nano’s introduction (video at 26:30) that one of Apple’s directors planned to use it as a watch. That brief aside directly inspired the creation of nano watchband makers Lunatik and Hex, as well as simple, cheap bands from Apple accessory specialists including Griffin, Incipio, and SwitchEasy....

I love AirPlay. It’s simple and elegant. It also means that my elderly but much-loved B&O Ouverture hifi system (with BeoLab 6000 speakers) – which is actually so old that it has a cassette deck – needed only a low-cost WiFi audio receiver to allow it to wirelessly stream music from my MacBook Pro. One $40 add-on and a 20-year-old hifi became bang up to date in its capabilities. With my particular setup, AirPlay does exactly what we expect of Apple products: It Just Works....

While the new fourth-generation Apple TV advances Apple’s entertainment box in many areas including universal search, Siri input and a whole App Store for the first time, much of week one with Apple TV 4 has been about what you lose when moving from Apple TV 2 or 3. The list is uncomfortably packed for a device that had three years to advance since its predecessor hit the market: missing Bluetooth keyboard and iPhone/iPad Remote app support for easier text input, Apple Watch’s built-in Remote app doesn’t recognize it yet, the Podcasts app hasn’t moved over, and the Photos app is exactly the same (no iCloud Photo Library) despite the newer iCloud Music Library feature making the cut for Apple Music....

In this guide, we will show you the real image of the ISP pinout and test point for the Oppo F11 Pro CPH1969....

Parks & Rec is one of America’s most beloved shows, and while we’re sad that it’s over, we can’t help but look back on all of the predictions made in the show that came to fruition. The seventh and final season took place during 2017, but it aired in 2015, which means that much of it called for speculation about the future, from entertainment to technology. While some of the predictions were downright goofy, others were pretty spot-on, leaving us to wonder if Professor Smartbrain Ben and his accounting friends somehow got a hold of a time machine....

On the eve of Apple CEO Tim Cook’s testimony to the House Judiciary Committee as part of an antitrust probe, Apple VP Phil Schiller has defended the App Store in a new interview with Reuters. The Apple exec touted that the App Store has successfully flipped how the entire software industry works.

Hipstamatic led the way in offering a fast and fun way to edit and share photos from an iPhone, but has been a little slow to move into video. The company has now corrected this, launching the Cinamatic app designed to compete with Vine and Instagram. Cinamatic lets you shoot short videos ranging from 3-15 seconds, apply filters to them and then share on Vine, Instagram and Facebook – or send them via email or Messages … The app costs $1....

We’re drawing closer and closer to the release of the first Apex Legends Battle Pass. Leaks have players assuming that this Pass is going to release alongside the new hero, Octane, very soon. However, shelling out for this latest addition to the game could be a little costly for some fans. Luckily, there’s a way for the Apex Legends battle pass to be acquired at half price for those who are enterprising....

Some gamers have started a petition to have American President Donald Trump ban the sale of Nintendo’s Pokémon Sword and Shield games. The games have been bogged down by controversy since it was first confirmed that the titles would not feature a National Dex, meaning that not every monster from past iterations would be returning in Sword and Shield. This prompted some severe backlash that’s plagued the games ever since....

Shrinking the notch has been a top design request ever since Apple introduced the expansive display on the iPhone X. Now a reliable source claims Apple will completely replace the iPhone notch with a Samsung-style “punch-hole” design on at least some iPhone 14 models. If Apple actually makes this change, do you consider it a design improvement or a visual misstep? Voice your opinion in our poll and comments! iPhone screens once fit in neatly drawn rectangles with straight edges and right angles like the current iPhone SE....

The excitement is starting to brew up as we get closer and closer to iPhone 7 and 7 Plus preorders. Starting tomorrow at 12:01 AM PST, customers will be able to pre-order the iPhone, with retail availability starting on September 16th. Now is as good as time as any to get yourself ready and thinking about your configuration choices and backup plans, just in case what you want isn’t available. Coming in a new Jet Black finish (but only in the 128GB and 256GB capacities), single and dual-camera options, all running together on-top of the new A10 chip, the iPhone 7 is surely ready to give customers something to think about....

Speaking today at the Automobility conference in Los Angeles, Porsche’s North American president and CEO, Klaus Zellmer, touched on the popularity of iPhone and Android among Porsche owners. Zellmer also explained how those statistics affect development of Porsche features. The executive explained that among Porsche owners in the United States, 91% use an Apple device. That’s a very high percentage, especially when you consider Apple’s overall marketshare in the United States compared to Android....

In this lab we will discover how to manipulate modules with PowerShell. This is a very interesting and important part of learning PowerShell for us, because it will help us a lot in automating many tasks and operations. Modules with PowerShell As we have seen in the previous articles, modules represent a very powerful concept on PowerShell. Now we will not learn how to use them (we saw this before), but how to create and exploit them for our pentesting purposes, especially for automating routine tasks....
