Impedance is like great rock ’n’ roll. Understanding everything about it is complicated, but you don’t need to understand everything to “get” it. About Speaker Impedance When talking about things like watts, voltage, and power, many audio writers use the analogy of water flowing through a pipe because it’s an analogy that people can visualize and relate to.

Specifically, we’re talking about Lightroom mobile for your phone or iPad, and Lightroom CC for your Mac or Windows computer. Like Apple’s built-in Photos app, Lightroom syncs between all your devices, keeping original photos in the cloud. But it also adds tons more editing options, saved filters, and a killer camera app that can shoot raw images. What’s So Great About Lightroom? Lightroom is the only pro-level editing/catalog app that syncs between mobile and desktop (ON1 also has a mobile version, but it’s not there yet in terms of camera support and features)....

These shows are merging the boundaries between games, dance, and theater. With a VR headset and an internet connection, they allow anyone to participate in a live performance. At the same time, they’re providing much-needed income for an industry that is suffering economically from the COVID shutdowns. “In our current moment of isolation, the act of gathering together, even if we are physically separated, is extremely powerful, human, and healing,” Brandon Powers, the choreographer of Queerskins: Ark’s choreographer, a virtual reality performance, said in an email interview....

The company holoride, whose promise is “turning vehicles into moving theme parks,” recently announced that it’s bringing VR headsets to some Audi SUVs and sedans this summer. The company claims it can cut down on the motion sickness that plagues both everyday car riders and those using VR. “Typically when passengers consume visual media in a moving vehicle, such as watching a movie or reading a book, motion sickness arises because what they’re viewing is not matching the movement of the car,” Rudolf Baumeister, the director of marketing & communications at holoride told Lifewire in an email interview....

Imagine spending a few hours exploring mountain peaks or watching the sunset burn across wetlands as local birds wade by. Maybe you hunt some boar, take a wild horse for a gallop over the plains, or just wander, camping out and cooking over a fire, or take a selfie in front of the distant rainbow that appears after a storm. That is the world of Zelda: Breath of the Wild....

Apple’s next round of MacBooks could be pretty radical. Freed from the constraints of hot Intel chips, Apple Silicon laptops could be as slim as an iPad. Apple’s M1 Macs already can run iOS apps, but the experience is poor because those apps are built for touch. So what might a future convertible Mac look like? One thing is almost certain—it won’t be a macOS tablet. “Mac isn’t a touch-focused machine....

Glance is a $2 billion subsidiary of adtech giant InMobi backed by Google and other investors. It serves various kinds of media to the home screens of participating handsets, and may actually be pretty compelling for some people. Glance puts a feed of news, quizzes, photos, videos, and so on, right onto your lock screen. “The potential of lock screen adverts is appealing to advertisers. Because lock screens are seen hundreds of times a day and are devoid of visual noise, they are set to be high-impact and high-engagement ad placements if done well, which Glance appears to be willing to do,” financial analyst Candice Moses told Lifewire via email....

Over the years, the consoles and platforms that Kingdom Hearts has been available on have changed, but the series never made the transfer to PC, leaving me and many others to miss out on key entries in the series. Since I didn’t own a PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3, I never really got to take in the first few entries, and my only real experience with the franchise was Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, which I played multiple times as a child on my Gameboy Advanced SP....
