I feel increasingly old when I think and talk about Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Remake. So many thoughts of how “this isn’t how it used to be. I liked the old ways better!” linger in my mind. It turns out that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade expands that sentiment even further, but I’m starting to find my peace with it. So, just how is Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade?...

NieR: Replicant ver.1.22474487139 (it’s the square root of 1.5; this is math snark) is the remastered version of NieR, a cult favorite action-RPG from 2010. It amps up the production values, adds more quests, and replaces a bunch of content that had to be cut from the original release. It’s the best possible version of itself, made under the creative direction of Yoko Taro, one of modern video gamings’ most famous eccentrics....

Working in tech support means taking calls, emails, or chat sessions from people who aren’t happy. It’s a lot like a retail customer support job, only without the benefit of body language, eye contact, and other things that make human interaction easier. It’s a unique career with unique challenges. My How to Talk to Tech Support piece was written to help make your overall experience working with them easier, but I think knowing some of this insider information might help too....

What Causes the HTTP 501 Error? There are a few common reasons why a server can’t meet your browser’s request, causing the HTTP 501 error. Most commonly, the owner of the web server hasn’t enabled a feature needed to complete the request. There’s also the chance that they haven’t installed a required piece of software or plugin for the web server. You may also get a 501 error when the web server is outdated or unmaintained....

Most head units still include an AM tuner, but eight-track tapes, cassettes, and other technologies have faded into history. Other technologies, such as the compact disc, would also disappear over the next few years. It may seem far-fetched, but the history of car radios is littered with abandoned technology that was once considered state of the art. 1930s: The First Commercial Head Units Enthusiasts had already been finding creative ways to integrate radios into their cars for over a decade, but the first true car radios weren’t introduced until the 1930s....

Here’s an explanation of why network storage is vital to an organization, along with a look at two common types of network storage systems. Why Network Storage Is Important Storage capabilities are essential for any computer. Hard drives and USB sticks, for example, are types of local storage that hold vital data close for easy access. Local data storage has some downsides. External devices like USB sticks can be lost, and hard drives can crash....

Apple is testing Conversation Boost, a feature for the AirPods Pro that focuses the microphones on the person in front of you, boosting their voice, without cutting out the sounds of the world around you. Currently in beta testing, this feature continues to blur the lines between augmented reality and accessibility. “This is definitely a feature that all users, even those with normal hearing, would like to have because we are often in noisy environments and this amplifies the voices that we care about while rejecting other sounds,” John Carter, former chief engineer at Bose, told Lifewire via email....

Here’s what those colors mean, as well as a rundown of how you can set up and edit your notifications. What Do the Alexa Notification Colors Mean? Colors beamed in the ring of your Alexa device represent a specific type of notification or message. Here’s what they mean and what you can learn from them: White: The volume is being adjusted. You can tell the volume setting by how much of the ring is lit up....

Discontinued: Still being sold Rumors swirled around the next-generation Apple TV box for years. For a long time, many observers assumed that it wouldn’t be a box at all: it was expected to be a full-fledged TV set with the Apple TV hardware and software built into it. We learned that that was not the case when Apple unveiled the 4th Generation Apple TV at its “Hey Siri” event on September 9, 2015....

What Is DTS 96/24? DTS 96/24 isn’t so much a separate surround sound format but an upscaled version of DTS Digital Surround 5.1. Manufacturers encode it onto DVDs or set it as an alternative listening option on DVD-Audio discs. DTS 96/24 provides higher audio resolution than the traditional DTS Digital Surround format. The audio industry measures audio resolution in the sampling rate and bit-depth. The higher the numbers (more resolution), the better the sound....

Get to Know the Second Generation Apple TV While the original Apple TV stored content locally–whether by syncing from a user’s iTunes library or via download from the iTunes Store—the second-generation model is almost entirely Internet-centric. Instead of syncing content, this device streams it from iTunes libraries via AirPlay, the iTunes Store, iCloud, or other online services using built-in apps like Netflix, Hulu, MLB.TV, YouTube, and more. Because it doesn’t need it, the device doesn’t offer much in the way of local storage....

Design: Futuristic design powered by Alexa The Fire TV Cube is a cute, futuristic-looking block that will stand out on your home console despite its 4-inch sides. On the outside, it’s virtually unchanged from the first-generation model. Across the top, there’s a blue LED bar that lights up whenever the Cube takes action. The sides of the cube have a glossy black finish that’s a fingerprint magnet. There’s volume and menu buttons on the top, as well, but we don’t foresee a lot of use for them considering that the Cube comes with a remote....

That’s five times faster out of the box, using the default settings, with no fancy setup. The M5 also has a built-in webcam to watch progress or record time-lapse videos of your work-in-progress, and can pause and warn you when things go awry. It’s also a very affordable $500 on Kickstarter, with a possible final price of around $760, which is still pretty good. In short, this is an amazing step forward for 3D printing enthusiasts and may even send 3D printing mainstream....

On Monday, Apple announced that it is adding a lossless audio catalog to Apple Music in June. MacRumors confirmed that the HomePod and HomePod mini devices wouldn’t support the new lossless audio features. Lossless audio is the original audio that the artist created in the studio, without any edits or additions, which many music lovers say provides an improved listening experience. Apple said in its announcement that Apple Music subscribers would be able to listen to 20 million tracks at launch, eventually adding a total of more than 75 million lossless audio songs....

Apple doesn’t make new apps very often, so Freeform is exciting for that reason alone before you even get into its features. It’s also Apple’s first attempt at a real-time collaboration app, and in my limited testing, it seems to work great. But Apple’s problem is that there are already other freeform canvas-sharing tools, which are not only fuller-featured but don’t require Apple devices to use. “As with most of the features that are Apple only, Freeform is unlikely to be hugely useful in most corporate environments as they are firmly fixed to Windows products,” Dragos Badea, CEO of Yarooms, told Lifewire via email....
