A free 14-day trial lets you sample the eFax services. After that, you’re billed monthly, depending on the plan you chose. For a flat fee of around $16 a month, eFax Plus allows you to send and receive 170 pages, after which you’re charged ten cents for each additional page. If you plan to fax more frequently, the eFax Pro plan may be worth looking into. The app supports PDF and Word documents along with PNG and JPG images, such as those taken by your device’s camera....
The larger drivers give you a much bassier sonic response, and the round-firing speakers give you a more 360-like sound. Beyond sound quality, you can connect your speaker to your home Wi-Fi system to communicate with your in-home audio system, but you can also use Bluetooth connectivity to connect the speaker to a phone or computer more instantaneously. Using Bose’s SoundTouch functionality gives you fuller control over any Bose speaker in your system....

That is a ton of information available at a glance. Of course, the downside is that it’s all in a fairly small watch face. It can be a little intimidating and hard to read at first. It also comes with only one color choice and only a digital option. The developer has a dozen or more variants of this watch, each one slightly different from the last. If the DT-05 isn’t your style, try the DT-02 or the DT-03....

The best iPhone accessories are for anyone who wants to get more out of their Apple device....
These versatile racks aren’t just for servers, either. They can be used to mount routers, switches, and even telecommunications and audio equipment.

These best iPad board games include a few classics, as well as some that have been created in recent years. While there are many card battle games for the iPad, we focused on more traditional board games. Warhammer Quest is a great adaptation of the board game. And in many ways, it plays out like other turn-based role-playing games (RPG), with players involved in quests that have them delving deep into dungeons....
Apple Pay Later is Apple’s new buy now, pay later (BNPL) scheme, which will be added to Apple Pay this fall. Like Klarna and other BNPL services, it lets you split a purchase into four installments, payable over six weeks. The implementation is typical Apple—easy to do and protective of your privacy. But the downside is that Apple is getting its hands dirty rather than passing this off to a third-party provider....
In the beginning, all iPhones were small, pocket-friendly phones. Then, with the iPhone 6, things started to grow. If your only computer is a phone, it makes sense to have a larger screen, and the iPhone Pro Max is the seam-ripping, thumb-stretching pinnacle of this idea. Then, Apple launched the iPhone SE, a modern version of the old iPhone 5, and people loved it. It followed up some years later with the iPhone 12 mini, then the 13 mini, but that’s it....
The M1 MacBook Pro gets a 3/10 repairability score from iFixit, but believe it or not, that’s an excellent score for a Mac notebook. For comparison, the Intel 16-inch MacBook Pro from 2019 scored a risible 1/10. However, this two-point gain—a 200% improvement, despite the still-low score—also shows a pretty radical change of direction from Apple. “It’s mostly about the battery,” iFixit’s Olivia Webb told Lifewire via email. “Previous MacBook batteries (2016 onward) required removing the entire logic board to access the battery, and then using serious solvents, awkward maneuvering, and serious patience to pry it out....
The most important hardware feature of any phone, after the screen, is probably its cameras. Apple knows this, which is why it pushes them forward every year. And this year, when only the iPhone 14 Pro gets the new A16 system-on-a-chip (SoC), and the regular iPhone 14 is stuck with the same A15, Apple has still totally revamped the cameras in the non-Pro iPhone. Even your selfies will be better....
That said, is it a must-buy? It really depends. Wow, That OLED Screen The new Switch’s OLED screen looks amazing. The OLED technology makes for darker darks and more vibrant colors when compared to a traditional LED display. The bezels (the borders around the functional part of the display) are smaller, which gives you a larger functional screen (7-inches diagonal, as compared to 6.2 on the older Switch model). The result is immediately obvious when compared to the original Switch: the new OLED version just looks better....
These cameras were infrequently used when the Switch first released, but with Nintendo’s cardboard Labo kits, the camera and its capabilities have become more clear. What Can the Motion IR Camera Do Exactly? The way an infrared sensor or camera works is by shooting out invisible dots that are then mapped on what it hits. It’s not far off from the way sonar works. This allows the Joycon controllers to “see” objects and motion and use it as an input method....
2015: Hisense Accrues Sharp America’s Assets and Brand In what was a major development in the consumer electronics industry, Hisense, one of China’s largest TV makers, acquired the North American manufacturing assets of Japan-based Sharp and secured brand name rights for the U.S. market. In 2015, Hisense began manufacturing all TVs bearing the Sharp brand name in the U.S. This license for Hisense to use the Sharp brand name had a five-year term with an option to extend....
Live Activities use the iPhone 14 Pro’s always-on display to show live updates from your apps. These may be the progress of that taxi you ordered, the location of that pizza you ordered, or—in the case of today’s example—the status of the flight you are taking or are already on. What’s starting to be obvious is that Live Activities is a pretty great feature. “I don’t think anything on Android can compare to the Live Activities feature on the iPhone 14 Pro....
However, what if you don’t like the videos recommended to you via the all-knowing and all-seeing algorithm? The social media giant has just implemented a major change to the home screen that allows for user-generated moderation to fix this issue. Here’s how it works. You can specify in the app which words or hashtags you don’t want to see in video recommendations. The service will automatically filter out any videos with these subjects, allowing for a significant increase in customization....
The announcement was made in a press release on Tinder’s Newsroom blog, where it revealed the feature and said it will be arriving “in the coming quarters.” According to TechCrunch, ID verification allows users to verify identities by uploading documentation like a driver’s license or passport. Tinder uses ID verification to cross-reference user data with sex offender registries, if that information is accessible. According to the app’s terms of use, users cannot have been convicted or “pled no contest to a felony [or] sex crime]…” and be registered as a sex offender....
