Usually when we think of solar panels, we think of their positive uses and benefits on how they can potentially help save the environment by reducing our need for more traditional forms of energy. However, as with all electronics, they can sometimes fail, or in the case of Amazon, it appears that their use of Tesla’s solar panels at one of their warehouses has resulted in it catching on fire.
For the past few years, OnePlus has typically released two smartphones on an annual basis. One in the earlier part of the year, and the other in the second half of the year. The OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro have already been released, but in case either model wasn’t to your liking, you might be interested to learn that OnePlus will be launching the OnePlus 7T soon.
It has been many years since the Breaking Bad series came to an end. In terms of series finales, we reckon that it was probably one of the better ones, where it wrapped things up nicely without necessarily falling into the usual kinds of TV tropes. However, following the end of the series, there have been rumors about a Breaking Bad movie in the works.
If you’re a Star Wars fan, then you might want to consider getting a subscription to Disney+ because the company has recently dropped the trailer for the upcoming series, “The Mandalorian”. Based on the trailer, it looks pretty good and could be an excellent reason to subscribe to Disney’s streaming service.
As some of you might have heard, discussions between Sony and Disney over the Spider-Man franchise have fallen apart, resulting in Spider-Man more likely than not to leave the MCU. We’re sure many are wondering how the franchise will be moving forwards, but as it turns out, it will soldier on just fine.
We’re sure some of you have come across certain websites while using Google Chrome where you are prompted if you want the site to send you notifications. These notifications are usually used by sites to let you know if there are any updates to it. However, the notification request prompt can be rather annoying and intrusive, but that could change soon.
Apple is slowly making the transition to USB-C across its devices. All of its MacBooks have seemingly ditched legacy ports like USB 3.0 and the DisplayPort in favor of Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C. However, this in turn created a problem because it meant that iPhone and iPad users could no longer connect or charge their devices via their MacBooks without an adapter.
How do platforms like YouTube and Netflix recommend videos to watch? This is largely based on algorithms in which it looks at the videos you’ve watched in the past and tries to recommend other videos and movies that it thinks are in a similar vein. How accurate are these recommendations? Sometimes they can be pretty spot-on, but are they necessarily the best way to go about it?
If you’re thinking about buying a new iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, or MacBook, you might want to hold off for the next month or so. This is because according to a recent sighting at the Eurasian Economic Commission, it seems that Apple has filed for a bunch of new products, suggesting that product refreshes could be coming soon.
Our smartphone cameras have evolved in a huge way ever since cameras were introduced to phones. They are on par with compact cameras, thus negating the need to bring around a separate camera, or at least in some cases. If you’re looking to step up your mobile photography game, then you might want to check out Moment’s latest offering.
One of the differences between Apple Music and Spotify would be its free trial period. Apple Music offers a 3 month free trial, while Spotify offers just one. However, this is kind of understandable because Spotify has a free and ad-supported listening tier, meaning that in theory, users will be able to “try” Spotify for as long as they like before they make the switch to Spotify Premium.
The Apple Watch currently supports LTE, but given that 5G is expected to be the future of mobile connectivity, we imagine that in the future, Apple will most likely release an Apple Watch that will support 5G, and thanks to a recently discovered patent by Patently Apple, it seems that Apple has actually patented such a device.
The Apple Card has been released and many Apple customers are already signing up for it. More recently, Apple published a support document on how you should take care of the Apple Card, which seems a bit odd since other credit card companies don’t really see the need to teach you how to care for a credit card.
It’s really starting to feel like Sony’s Uncharted movie may never happen. Over the years, ever since plans for the movie was announced, it has somehow managed to lose director after director, although earlier this year, it seemed like things would be back on track with Dan Trachtenberrg being attached to the movie.
Disney+ will be launching towards the end of the year and while it does have the advantage of playing home to some very well-established franchises, there is no doubt that there will be many comparisons made to existing services such as Netflix. However, it seems that one of the ways Disney+ plans on competing would be price.
We know that the Apple Watch Series 5 is expected to arrive later this year, but could the first images of the upcoming smartwatch have leaked already? In a post that was shared on Slashleaks, it shows a photo of an Apple Watch bearing the model number A2157, which is apparently the designated model number for the Apple Watch Series 5.
Back in the day, we upgraded our phones pretty much every two years. However, smartphone technology seems to be peaking where the performance jump from each version is getting smaller, not to mention the prices of our phones are also getting out of hand, where phones are now priced $1,000 and above.
Have you ever taken a photo and it contains text and you wanted to search for that text within it? We’re not sure how many of you would have need for such a feature, but the good news is that if you use Google Photos, Google has announced that the service will be gaining a new Lens feature that will allow users to search for text within their photos.
One of the problems with facial recognition systems like Face ID on the iPhone is that you need to more or less stare directly at the phone for it to be unlocked. It is a security feature because it wants to make sure that it is you unlocking it, not someone holding it to your face, although the downside is that it isn’t as easy to unlock compared to using […]
