Motorola just officially unveiled the Moto G Stylus 5G and the Moto G 5G smartphones, as reported in a press release issued by the company. These phones are packed with decent specs and, perhaps more importantly, attractive price tags. Let’s start with the Moto G Stylus 5G, not to be confused with the similarly named Moto G Stylus released back in February. This phone is powered by the Snapdragon 695 chipset and boasts a 6....

The purpose of the MarsXR Challenge is to look for developers to help create a virtual rendition of the planet Mars and simulate what an astronaut may go through in that environment. Participants will be asked to create assets and potential scenarios as a way to help prepare NASA for an eventual Mars exploration. The challenge is being held on the crowdsourcing website HeroX, with a prize pool of $70,000 that will be shared among the top 20 participants....

Despite its name, the Nest Audio is not a smart thermostat. Instead, Google has adopted the name of the thermostat company it bought for $3.2 billion in 2014 to use as its home-automation brand. The first thing you’ll notice about the new speaker, which replaces the old Google Home speaker, is the new design. Like last year’s Nest Mini, it’s more of a soft, pastel fabric pebble than the original Home speaker, which had more of a vase/high-school geometry diagram vibe....

“No, subscribers should not be worried,” Jason Ruiz, an associate professor at Notre Dame and a Netflix expert, told Lifewire in an email. “Netflix is the global leader in streaming television and isn’t going anywhere just yet. We might see a shift in programming or distribution deals down the road, but I think that Netflix’s place in the streaming hierarchy is secure for now.” Don’t Be Scared by the Loss of Subscribers Legions of members have already been spooked by the latest developments at Netflix, as the platform lost 970,000 members in the second quarter of 2022....

The Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 is supposed to provide lightning-fast speeds while serving as one of the best long-range wireless routers currently on the market. Fully loaded with Wi-Fi 6 technology, smart home connectivity, and a slew of other features, the AX12 should be an ideal router for small businesses, very large homes, or for homes with multiple devices. I tested the Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 to see how well it performs in the real world....

Hello Games revealed its latest expedition event for No Man’s Sky, called Leviathan, which includes a time-looping storyline and loads of new game rewards. Unlike the recent Outlaws update, the Leviathan expedition doesn’t add a bunch of new gameplay elements—it’s more of a special event to earn cool stuff for a limited time. No Man’s Sky’s seventh expedition traps players in a strange time-loop that’s somehow tied to the titular Leviathan creature....

Finding a Wi-Fi adapter that can host dual bands yet doesn’t hog the USB ports can be a real challenge. After all, most heavy dual-band adapters are seemingly the size of Mount Everest. Not all hope for a compact adapter is lost, however—the Ourlink U631 USB Wi-Fi Adapter boasts dual bands topping over 400Mbps (5GHz network) and 150Mbps (2.4GHz network) down. Even though this little adapter is going on five years old, its speeds give newer adapter models a run for their money and designs....

What Is a PAT File? A file with the PAT file extension is most likely a pattern image used by graphics programs for creating a pattern or texture across an image using a small and usually square picture. If the file you have isn’t in that format, it might be something else that uses the same PAT extension. For example, it could be a DiskStation Manager installation file, Gravis UltraSound GF1 patch file, 3D patch file, Ketron sound pattern file, or Kega Fusion cheats file....

The process to window a game takes just a few seconds, however, some games don’t natively support windowed mode. So, you may have to take some more involved steps to prevent those games from taking up the whole screen. Check for the Easy Button Some games explicitly allow the application to run in a windowed mode. Go into the Settings menu and you’ll see options listed using varying language. If you don’t see the below options there, you might access them from the game’s launcher....

What Is a PPSX File? A file with the PPSX file extension is a Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show file. It serves as an update to PPS, a format used for the same purpose in MS Office versions 2007 and earlier. These files open directly to the presentation because they’re meant to be used just for presenting the slideshow. PowerPoint files that open directly into the editing mode are saved with the PPTX extension....

Adobe fixed its photo editing and storage app immediately, but the lost images remain gone unless individual users had their own personal backup. Your photos contain the memories and history of your family, friends, and your whole life. Losing them is one of the biggest data-loss nightmares for most people. “After the automatic update to Lightroom mobile 5.4 on my iPad Pro (active subscription), my whole library is lost,” wrote Lightroom user Christoph Willerscheidt in the Photoshop Forum....

What Is a PSF File? A file with the PSF file extension is most likely an Adobe Photoshop Proof Settings file. These kinds of files store specific color preferences so that you can see how an image will look before you print it. A PhotoStudio file is an image format that uses this same file extension. They can contain text, layers, and shapes. Other programs might use the PSDF file extension, too, like as a GPS Prediction Support file, AutoCAD PostScript Patterns file, Portable Sound file, PID Script file, or an HP-UX Product Specification file....

The two main issues are efficiency and undesired interference from the additional harmonics present in a modified sine wave. That means that a pure sine wave inverter is good at two things: efficiently powering devices that use the alternating current input without rectifying it first and powering devices like radios that can suffer from interference. Do You Need a Pure Sine Wave Inverter? Some useful questions to ask yourself to determine if you need a pure sine wave inverter include:...

It’s getting rereleased now to build up hype for its sequel, simply called Dark Alliance, which is set to release on PC and consoles early next month. Playing it in 2021, I’d forgotten just how foundational it is. It’s very much a diet Diablo, an attempt to port the smash-and-grab gameplay of a good dungeon crawler into a console-friendly, Dungeons & Dragons-themed format. The original Dark Alliance does end up feeling a little bare-bones now, but it also puts almost zero nonsense between you and the action....

Dell has announced a new design concept for a laptop that has a long life and is easy to repair. Experts say repairable electronics could take less of a toll on the planet by reducing waste. “It feels like our society has sadly accepted that many electronics are disposable, as they can’t be repaired,” Amanda LaGrange, an electronics recycling advocate and CEO of Tech Dump, told Lifewire in an email interview....

According to ETNews, the two Korean companies showed off their new tech at the Global Tech Korea 2021 event. In Samsung’s demo, different display sections rose and fell to mimic a lava bubble forming and then dissipating on its own. However, the stretchable screen does make the video lava seem more realistic as it flows. The earliest concepts were shown back in 2017, albeit with a smaller 9.1-inch display. According to Changhee Lee, the executive vice president of Samsung Display, these displays could only be stretched out by a small amount but have “improved significantly” recently....

While rumors about the Galaxy S21 FE have been swirling for some time, this is the first time Samsung has officially detailed the device in any capacity. Previously the company has released FE (or Fan Edition) versions of its primary flagship devices as cheaper variants for users to purchase. The S21 FE will feature the same 5nm 64-bit Octa-Core processor as the original Galaxy S21. Samsung says the processor will deliver fast but quality graphics on an ultra-crisp 6....

A new update gives the Xperia PRO and Xperia PRO-I additional options for when they’re being used as an external monitor—typically paired with one of Sony’s Alpha cameras. Using the Xperia PRO as an extra monitor for your camera has been possible since its release, but this expansion aims to add more direct control through the smartphone. Both the Xperia PRO and Xperia PRO-I will now be able to use the Waveform function when being used as a monitor to better control exposure and RGB balance....

The WF-1000XM4 builds off of the noise cancellation technology used in previous Sony products by adding two noise sensing microphones in each earbud—one feed-forward, one feed-backward. These microphones will analyze ambient noise and work in conjunction with a newly designed 6mm driver unit to generate a noise-canceling signal with a 20% magnet volume increase. There is also an Automatic Wind Noise Reduction mode for use on windy days. In addition to noise cancellation, the WF-1000XM4 supports High-Resolution Audio Wireless with a 900 kbps maximum transfer rate, as well as 360 Reality Audio, when paired with an applicable smartphone....

You know how, when you need customer service, the lack of phone lines and physical offices means you’re funneled toward using a chatbot? Well, how about using your own chatbot to chat back and even up the score? That’s the promise of the new GPTChat-based bot from the defender of the masses, DoNotPay, which can negotiate bills and save you a ton of money. “Chatbots don’t get angry, and they don’t get frustrated....
