HTC, however, is looking to change that perception by launching the metaverse-focused Desire 22 Pro smartphone, as detailed in a company splash page. The phone is a follow-up to last year’s Desire 21 Pro and does indeed boast some intriguing metaverse-adjacent features. First of all, the phone allows users to visit HTC’s metaverse ecosystem, Viverse, without needing a VR headset. In other words, you can check in on VR communities directly from the phone’s browser, though integration details are scarce....

iOS and iPadOS 15 and watchOS 8 beta users found that, in the most recent update, the amount of free space needed for installation had been reduced.

The app debuted on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store back in December, so it’s still relatively new. And, since Thursday is Earth Day, I thought I’d give the app a try to see if/how I could reduce my carbon footprint. After some time with Klima, I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve done more for climate change than I have in a while, but I don’t necessarily feel productive about it....

The T5 II model offers much of what you’d expect from a premium pair of earbuds: wireless Bluetooth connectivity, active noise cancellation, sweat and water resistance, and so on. The hands-free motion controls, which let you do things like accept or reject incoming calls just by moving your head, are a bit of a surprise, though. According to Klipsch’s description, many of the stand-out features in the T5 II come from the integration with a Bragi operating system....

What Is an M4R File? A file with the M4R file extension is an iPhone ringtone file. They can be created in iTunes and transferred to an iPhone as custom ringtone sounds. These files are actually just .M4A files that have been renamed to .M4R. The file extensions are different only to differentiate their purposes. How to Play an M4R File Open M4R files with Apple’s iTunes program. If they aren’t copy protected, they can be played using the free VLC software and other media players....

MagDart comes from Realme, and is both a new technology and a new range of accessories for the upcoming Realme Flash phone. But do we even want these magnetic, “wireless” chargers? They add just a single point of convenience, and are worse in almost every other way. “Wireless charging is very dependent on the position of the device,” Micah Peterson of Battery Market told Lifewire via email. “It works by generating an electromagnetic field between two coils: one in the charger and one in the device....

Xbox unveiled the Console Purchase Pilot in a tweet from the Xbox Insider account. The program, only available in the United States, allows Xbox One owners to register for a chance to reserve one of the next-gen Xbox consoles. According to Polygon, the move should make it easier for current Xbox One owners to grab a Series X or Series S, especially if the program proves successful. Microsoft hasn’t shared whether or not it plans to expand on the program, or if it plans to launch a similar system users who don’t already own a last-gen Xbox....

What do you get: The devs say there are more than ten different educational worlds to explore. Kids (and adults) can tour the International Space Station, the inside of a human eye, renewable energy options, marine biology, Greek history, and more. Each world comes with its own lesson plan that offers creative writing activities, building challenges, and puzzles to solve. How to get it: You’ll need to use a device that runs the Bedrock version of Minecraft (as opposed to the Java version on Mac/PC)....

While these updates aren’t frequent, they’re still existent. However, because of their infrequencies, players can only assume that these mods have since died and went to what I like to refer to as “Nostalgia Heaven.” When Mojang changes their game and it interferes with a code a modder has created, the modder must tweak his or her code until the game can recognize the input. If Minecraft can not recognize the input, it may crash the game or bug out, making the mod (and sometimes the game itself) useless and broken....

To take the guesswork out of which type of camera is best for you, we spent time reviewing both. Here’s what we learned. Overall Findings When it comes to deciding between a mirrorless camera and a DSLR camera, there are many similarities and differences between them. For example, a mirrorless camera is lighter and if you plan to shoot high speed photography, it’s faster. But a DSLR camera is better when you need a less expensive entry into professional-quality photography equipment, and can be useful when you need a camera that has enough battery power to last through a long photoshoot....

Many music hardware makers sell software versions of their effects, and Moog is one of the best at this, with incredible virtual recreations of its classic synthesizers. But Moog is also known for modular synthesis, which is where you take lots of small, single-purpose units and combine them into a custom whole. This kind of interconnectivity was unheard of in the guitar world before the Moogerfooger. It’s also quite uncommon in the world of computer effects plugins, making these new ones so special....

Thanks in part to the slim profiles of today’s big screen televisions, it’s incredibly difficult to get decent sound out of their built-in speakers. While most TV speakers try to simulate surround sound, there’s only so much they can do, particularly without the type of bass-heavy punch only a discrete subwoofer can provide. Adding a separate surround sound system can prove transformative, helping to elevate sound quality to the same high dynamic range as the best 4K TV picture quality....
