The broadcast format of satellite radio is more or less the same as terrestrial, but because it’s offered through a subscription model most stations are available without commercial interruption. Like satellite television, you need special equipment to listen to satellite radio. A key benefit of satellite radio is that the signal is available over a much broader geographical range than terrestrial radio. A handful of satellites are capable of blanketing an entire continent, and each satellite radio service provides the same set of stations and programs to its entire coverage area....

Musicians tend to favor the hands-on tweakability of hardware over the fiddliness of software, and controllers like Ableton’s Push (starting at $799) bring that physicality to powerful audio software suites. But Akai has upped the game by bringing what looks like a high-quality controller at a very affordable $269. “Hardware is just ‘hands-on,’ plain and simple. There’s a level of interactivity with hardware that is impossible to replace with mouse clicks, no matter how good the technology is....

The Echo Show 15 features a 15.6" display and ships with all the hardware you’ll need to mount it on a wall, which is a first for these kinds of smart screens. The display can also sit on a countertop, though you’ll have to purchase stand accessories separately. The 1080p screen can be mounted horizontally or vertically and boasts a front-facing camera with a physical shutter, side speakers, and a mute button for turning off the microphone....

“The report shows that in the House’s mind these companies have monopoly power and are using it to their advantage,” Jeffrey S. Jacobovitz, an antitrust lawyer and partner in the law firm Arnall Golden Gregory LLP, said in a phone interview. “I don’t think they’re going to on their own make changes based on the House report. But it may make them more sensitive to the allegations that were raised....

It’s called Rapid Security Response (RSR), and it allows Apple to quickly patch security holes on-the-fly. Unlike regular iOS software and security updates, RSR doesn’t require a reboot after installation, which further lowers the barrier to keeping you as safe as possible, as soon as possible. But it’s not all upside. RSRs are relatively untested in the wild and not as secure as baking them into operating system updates. And they are also removable....

Occasionally, Apple surprises us with a MacBook form factor that breaks with tradition: this is not that year. However, despite the lack of physical changes, this year’s iteration of the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1) may represent the most substantial leap in their hardware in years thanks to the new M1 chip. This year Apple has gone with their own trademark silicon instead of relying on third-party CPUs from Intel. Apart from opening the door to running apps natively on the MacOS, this also adds a surprising amount of speed and makes the new MacBook Pro a game-changer in the world of high-powered laptops....

Google and AT&T announced the switch on Wednesday, saying they are working to make any AT&T customer with an Android phone use Messages by Google as their default messaging app. “The collaboration aims to help accelerate the industry toward global Rich Communication Services (RCS) coverage and interoperability to offer a consistent, secure, and enhanced messaging experience for all Android users around the world,” Google added in its announcement. The companies did not detail when Android users could expect the official switch from SMS to RCS, only that it would happen “soon....

Back Tap, found in the Accessibility section of your iPhone’s settings, uses the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer sensors to detect a sharp tap on the back of the handset. You can set two Back Tap triggers—a double tap, and a triple-tap—and there are several built-in options, but the real power comes when you assign a tap trigger to a shortcut automation. It’s a fantastic feature, but there’s a downside: It doesn’t alway work....

Why Use Both Time Machine and SuperDuper? Creating a backup system for your Mac is critically important. With a reliable backup in place, it’s easy to restore your data if the original files are ever deleted from your Mac or if the hard drive is erased, damaged, or replaced. While Time Machine is a fantastic tool, it’s not perfect. It doesn’t clone your entire drive, so if you have a disaster and need to get up and running fast, having another bootable backup option is a great idea....

Here we look at four of the best turn-by-turn navigation apps for Android and iOS devices. Unlike Google Maps, it’s not available for Android OS smartphones and other devices. Its features include a Look Around function for exploring cities in a 3D environment; real-time public transit data; and spoken turn-by-turn directions that rely on landmarks and objects instead of just street names. Download For: In combination with Google’s massive database of businesses and points-of-interest, Google Maps augments the standard GPS app with all the perks of a search engine....

According to the Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO), sitting too close to the TV doesn’t cause permanent damage to your eyes. Instead, it causes eye strain and fatigue. Eye strain and fatigue can be a problem because that means your eyes are tired, which translates to blurry vision. The cure is to rest your eyes, and vision returns to normal. Proper Lighting for Watching TV While sitting too close to the TV can cause eye strain and fatigue, watching TV in the wrong lighting can cause even more unnecessary eye strain....

It takes way longer to charge an electric car than it does to fill up a tank with gas, and that alone makes the current gas station model totally obsolete. Even Tesla’s Superchargers take 15 minutes to deliver enough power for a 200-mile trip. This means gas stations are over, but how do we replace them? IKEA’s plan is one model, but there are others. “Supermarkets are already a place where people spend a lot of time, and if customers were waiting on their cars to charge, they could spend even more time and money inside these stores....

Another key difference between these headphones, however, is the different charging protocols. The SoundSport Wireless still relies on micro-USB charging, whereas the Powerbeats 4 use Apple’s proprietary Lightning cable, and while this will prove to be a slight nuisance to anyone not already in the Apple ecosystem, it does provide much faster charging, allowing you to top off your headphones much faster. They each have multifunction buttons on the cable that keeps the headphones tethered to each other, allowing you to control media playback, as well as accept incoming calls....

Some computers may not be eligible for the upgrade because they are incompatible. This article will also explain how to check compatibility to see if that’s even an option for you. Why Would My Computer Not Run Windows 11? The requirements to Windows 11 are remarkably similar to Windows 10’s requirements. That said, compatible computers must meet a few specialized requirements related to the CPU and motherboard. Only certain types of hardware are supported in the new operating system....

How to Connect AirPods to a Nintendo Switch The Nintendo Switch lacked Bluetooth support when it first launched. But, thanks to a September 2021 update, gamers can now connect devices like AirPods to the console. Up to 10 devices can be saved on a Switch, but you can only use one at a time. You can only use two wireless Joy-Cons while using Bluetooth audio, and Bluetooth microphones don’t work at all....

If you spend hours on a computer each day, fatigue from subpar computer peripherals can aggravate issues such as wrist pain and carpal tunnel. The Cloud Nine C989M Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard offers a large, split-keyboard, somewhat modular design to ease those pain points. This keyboard combines mechanical switches—a favorite of gamers and coders—and gaming-specific features like RGB and macro programming with ergonomic hallmarks like a generous wrist pad and zero sloping from the front to the back of the device....

The audio-based social network officially released its beta Android app over the weekend to US users. According to the Google Play store, over 50,000 people already have downloaded Clubhouse’s Android beta app. Clubhouse wrote in a blog post on Sunday that it will collect feedback from Android users over the coming weeks to fix any issues that arise, and work on final features before rolling out the app beyond the US....

Even though CNN+ was shut down earlier this year, much of its content will still be available due to its absorption into Discovery+. It doesn’t help CNN+ subscribers much as the service is now defunct, and they’ll likely need to sign up for a different one, but it does at least mean some of those shows aren’t going away. For the moment the new CNN Original Hub on Discovery+ is offering a curated selection of CNN Original Series, CNN Films, and HLN Original Series—totaling 800+ episodes of the old and current....

A Bit About Bluetooth Bluetooth was not originally created for audio entertainment, but to connect phone headsets and speakerphones. It was also designed with a very narrow bandwidth, which forces it to apply data compression to an audio signal. While this design may be perfectly fine for phone conversations, it’s not ideal for music reproduction. Not only that, but the Bluetooth could be applying this compression on top of data compression that might already exist, such as from digital audio files or sources streamed through the Internet....
