The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x are quite possibly the best all-around headphones you can buy for the greatest number of applications. That may seem like a bold statement, but when you break it down based on the end use, it becomes clear just how diverse these headphones are. For starters, average listeners will like these headphones for their balanced, well-represented sound, comfortable fit and finish, and cool-looking design. However, AT has designed these headphones as DJ and studio monitor headphones first, which means that they also work great for mixing, mastering, and music creation....

Twitter’s Link Service The best URL shortener for Twitter is the one that’s built into Twitter. Unless you need to track URLs, you don’t need to go to an outside website to make a URL smaller. When you paste a URL into a tweet or direct message, Twitter automatically shortens it to a http://t.co link. Anyone who receives the t.co shortened link can use it to go to the destination URL....

Overall Findings Camcorders typically have a clear edge when it comes to video resolution, lenses, and storage options. Camera manufacturers have improved video recording features over the years. However, most digital cameras made for photography can’t compete with devices made specifically for recording video. There are some exceptions. The built-in iPhone camera is exceptionally powerful, and some directors use iPhones to film movies. Lens and Video Quality: Camcorders Capture Better Videos While some digital cameras shoot at a real 4K resolution, few compact devices can match the higher quality video recorded by mid-level camcorders....

Camera Raw is Adobe’s interpreter for raw camera files. These files are not pictures, but just a dump of the raw data from the camera’s sensor, which needs to be decoded and turned into an image before you can even view it (cameras create a small JPG thumbnail to show on their screens). Adobe uses the same raw engine inside Photoshop, Lightroom, and its desktop Camera Raw app, and soon it’ll be on the iPad, too....

As downloadable apps for the iPad have expanded its abilities, iPads are showing up increasingly in offices and with remote workers. Despite this, although the iPad comes with a virtual keyboard, it isn’t exactly word processing-friendly out of the box. Word Processing Apps The iPad doesn’t have any built-in apps for word processing....

With the amount of data that Facebook collects on its users now out in the open, it is only natural for any of us to think that the company is well aware of who visits our pages and profiles, and when. And they do. However, just because Facebook has that data doesn’t mean it’s willing to share it with just anybody. In fact, Facebook considers this information to be strictly confidential and asks that you report any third-party apps or companies that claim to be able to provide that information....

What Is a CDDA File? A file with the CDDA file extension is an audio file.

ACCDB File Format Benefits Before its 2007 release, the Microsoft Access database file format was MDB. The ACCDB file format was introduced with Access 2007.

The most important ports on computers are used for networking, for without them, the computer would be completely isolated and unable to communicate outside of itself. Physical Ports A port can be either physical or virtual. Physical network ports allow you to connect cables to computers, routers, modems, and other peripheral devices. Ports are physically connected in one way or another to the motherboard. Several types of physical ports available on computer network hardware include:...

Flip the Switch Turn the power off before servicing anything. This should always be your first step, any time you work with electronics. Don’t even open the computer case unless the power is turned off. If you see any lights glowing or flashing in the case, verify that you’ve turned it off—not just placed your computer in a hibernation state. Many power supply units incorporate a mechanical switch on the back, killing power to the device and ultimately the rest of your PC....

At times, Facebook will extend an invitation to high-profile accounts—such as celebrities, activists, and journalists—to join its Facebook Protect program. This provides the chosen accounts with extra security measures and security monitoring to better protect them from hacking. It’s even going so far as to make 2FA a requirement for all Facebook Protect accounts, and while it’s not perfect, it does offer far more protection. So, if Facebook is beginning to make 2FA mandatory for high-profile accounts, is there a chance it will do the same for everyone else?...

How to Save Phone Extensions in Your iPhone Contacts Here’s what you need to do: Phone systems treat the comma that you added to the phone number as a pause. This means that your phone calls the main phone number, waits a short time (for the phone system to offer you options), then dials the extension automatically. Tips for Automatically Dialing Extensions on the iPhone If the options are spoken more slowly and you want to add extra time before your iPhone dials the extension to make sure the phone system sends you to the right place, add more than one pause to the number....

What Is an FB2 File? A file with the FB2 file extension is a FictionBook eBook file. The format was built to cater to fictional writings, but can, of course, be used to hold any type of eBook. FB2 files are DRM-free and can contain footnotes, images, text formatting, Unicode, and tables, all of which may or may not be supported in some FB2 readers. Any images used in the book, like PNGs or JPGs, are converted to Base64 (binary) and stored within the file itself....

In iOS 15, Apple has made it possible to track an iPhone via the Find My network, even when it’s powered off. The old way of tracking a lost or stolen iPhone was for the phone to report its position every once in a while, so you could find it on a map. This was easily thwarted by switching the iPhone off immediately after nabbing it. And even for plain old lost iPhones, you’d only be able to track it until the battery ran down....
