Traditional systems allow you to set up custom configurations and get the most out of your space’s acoustics. You can perfectly position subwoofers and satellite speakers to create true surround sound for a cinema-like experience in the comfort of your own home. Soundbars eliminate the need to purchase separate sets of speakers, often combining mid- and high-range drivers with integrated subwoofer speakers for a more compact unit. Soundbars also use technologies such as Dolby Atmos for virtual surround sound or adaptive audio to automatically adjust volume and sound settings so you never miss a line of dialogue or single note in your favorite movies and songs, even if you have loud party guests or neighbors....

A hip-side power pocket adds an integrated cable allowing access to any portable power unit or audio device....

There are four different themes and layouts for each level, with past, present, bad future, and good future variations. It’s an impressive achievement for a 1993 game, and the port two decades later did a great job at adding small tweaks and refinements to go along with features like widescreen aspect ratio, both Japanese and North American soundtracks, and mobile controller support, to make this the definitive version of the game....

Whether you want to just enhance the colors of an image, or you want to make a photo look like a painting, G’MIC has an impressive range of options that will definitely cover whichever GIMP filter you need. Resynthesizer essentially takes one of the most popular features from Photoshop—Content-Aware Fill—and adds it to GIMP. It can sample texture from a photo and easily create more of that texture. While there are multiple uses for this, it’s most often used to remove unwanted images—say, that Starbucks cup from your photo of a medieval knight—without any hint it was ever there....

For most people, our tester found the Elite Screens 135-Inch ezFrame is the best option - although be warned it’s also pricey (if you’re on a budget, the Silver Ticket 100inch screen is also a great option). Of course, a good movie is about visuals as well as audio, and the ezFrame delivers when it comes to sound as well. The ezFrame has a transparent screen, designed for use with a hidden speaker or a rear-speaker, as the screen’s fabric allows for more sound to come through, creating a more realistic theater experience....

The Uber app for the Apple Watch seems to have been discontinued. I tried using the app on my Apple Watch Series 7, and I got the warning, “Please switch to the Uber mobile app. We no longer support the Apple Watch app. Sorry for the inconvenience,” along with a crying emoji. It may be a sign that some developers are starting to realize that Apple Watches don’t make the best standalone devices....

No matter if it’s a snazzy new Microsoft Surface Book, some other Windows 11 laptop, or a traditional desktop computer…don’t worry about your computer skills or where specific keyboard keys are. Instead, here are five things to address before you do anything else: Update Your Antimalware Program The last thing you want to do is get your new computer infected with malware. Who wants that? We considered calling this “install an antimalware program” but almost all computers come with one preinstalled....

Samsung’s Beginnings With only 30,000 won (about US$27), Lee Byung-chul started Samsung as a trading company based in a city called Taegu in 1938. With 40 employees, Samsung began as a grocery store, trading and exporting goods produced in and around the city. It sold dried Korean fish and vegetables, as well as its own noodles. The company grew and expanded to Seoul in 1947 but left when the Korean War broke out....

The company just surprise announced a new line of premium earbuds, the LG Tone Free T90, filled to the brim with nifty features to rival Apple, Bose, Sony, and the rest. These earbuds are equipped with Dolby Atmos head-tracking technology, allowing users to feel as if they are directly in the center of anything they are listening to. Dolby’s tech accomplishes this by constantly recalibrating the sound as the head moves around, resulting in a “more natural sound experience....

The $399 reMarkable enters the market as the options for digital note-taking devices are on the rise. Many people are turning to note-taking gadgets as they offer the feel of traditional paper and are easier on their eyes than computer or phone screens. For those who keep this goal in mind and aren’t looking to replace their iPad, the reMarkable 2 won’t disappoint. I got ahold of the reMarkable just as 2020’s torrent of news was starting to break down my body....

Now, four years later, VW Group CEO Hert Diess has tweeted, “The legend returns on 03/09/22!” The microbus is back. Almost. A darling of the VW booth at auto shows for the past few years, the hype it generated at the beginning was almost entirely based on nostalgia. Drivers might not find minivans cool, but a van from Volkswagen that reminds them of the Summer of Love and California surf culture?...

Big console launches deserve big game launches, and the Xbox Series X/S is undoubtedly lacking that with Microsoft going all in with the promise of Xbox Game Pass and the fact that everything is faster on the latest console. Simply put, the new console feels like a PC upgrade rather than a unique revolutionary experience, but we’ve already looked at how that’s ok. Honest, it is. Back to Halo Infinite, though....

In other words, you won’t have to constantly hand out one-time passcodes to friends and family whenever they want to use a shared service. The Group2FA App completely reinvents how secure two-factor passcodes are received and distributed. Here’s how it works: Once everyone in your circle activates the app, it sends out in-app notifications, push notifications, or text messages with one-time passcodes. Everything is done inside Group2FA, and the app itself disseminates the information to the services you and your group use....

Tidal announced the new Apple Watch app on Tuesday, noting that it will include support for offline listening and untethered access to your music library directly on your wrist. While the music service has built a name for itself by offering lossless and high-fidelity music, that quality won’t transfer to the Apple Watch app, according to The Verge. The Apple Watch isn’t equipped with the necessary storage to support offline listening at the higher bitrates Tidal is known for....

Plans are in motion to address the ‘For You’ recommendation feed, according to TikTok, which are intended to “safeguard and diversify.” TikTok has acknowledged that certain types of videos, when viewed in abundance, can have a negative impact on users, so it’s making changes to the way the feed works to try and fix that. While the recommendation system tries to avoid making repetitive suggestions—such as pulling up consecutive videos by the same creator—subject matter isn’t a criteria....
