1. Launch Music Player When You Plug in Headphones Your selected music player starts playing music as soon as you plug in your earphones. Be ready, as you’ll get an earful as soon as your headset makes contact with your Android phone’s 3.5mm jack. Create a new Tasker profile by clicking the ‘”+”’ icon. Select “State” from the menu and then choose “Hardware.” A new set of options will pop up; select “Headset plugged....

When I first set out to try MeeGo, I had hoped to boot up the live USB image on my netbook. What I soon discovered, however, is that it would not work. My netbook (an EeePC 1201n) has an Nvidia Ion graphics chipset, which is not supported by MeeGo (along with ATI and Intel GMA 500 chipsets). I further found that my other netbook (EeePC 900) was also not supported because it was a pre-Atom model, and MeeGo only supports Intel Atom processors....

Still, what if you don’t like the app itself? What if you like everything that Google does in their Music service, but you’d wish you could use a music app of your choice? Well, good news! It’s certainly possible. A project exists that takes Google music and makes it mountable on your Android device’s file system. From there, the music player can access the entirety of a Google music library as if the files were physically on an SD card or internal memory....

Add a Recycle Bin in Chrome We have all closed a tab, by either accident or intention, only to realize that we need it back. Fortunately Chrome has a built-in fix for this. Simply right-click on any open tab and choose the option for “Reopen closed tab.” This has an immediately noticeable limitation however. If you are looking for the last tab closed then you are good to go, but if it happens to be perhaps five tabs ago, then you will be forced to systematically open each of those five, as the browser works its way back in Orwellian fashion....

Check If Your Laptop Supports Windows 10 Touchpad Gestures Microsoft has built a new technology for Windows 10 touchpad gestures called “Precision Touch.” The laptop manufacturer needs to follow the guidelines for Precision Touch in order to install it on their device. To check if your Windows 10 laptop has Precision Touch installed, go to “Settings -> Devices -> Mouse and Touchpad.” Here, under the “Touchpad” section, see if there is a sentence that reads, “Your PC has a Precision Touchpad....

The Private Server Some people, however, take it upon themselves to host their own server for the game. This is known as a “private server,” and it involves a lot of work to get one running. If the developer is successful, they can revive a game that has since been forgotten. Some people go a step further and make private servers of games that are still running. This is usually to “take control” of the game and implement features that the server owner wants to see in the game....

Obviously, we are not cats, but do you think you can fare better than the cats? Here is the question: will you sign up and give your particulars to a website, just because it promises exclusivity and an “exceptional” benefit that you know nothing about? That’s what 11k Club is trying to find out. If you head over to the 11k Club site, all you will see is a sign-up form and a big heading that says only a selective 11000 people can join the club and enjoy an exceptional benefit....

AppWereRabbit can auto backup Android app before they get updated so you can revert back to an older version if you are not happy with the latest version. Start by heading over to Google Play and grab yourself a copy of the app. Once installed, you’ll initially be presented with a list of all of the apps you have installed. At first glance, this may seem like information that’s available elsewhere in Android, but it’s handy to be able to see not only the names of all your apps, but also details of how much space they’re taking up and when you installed them....

Having basic technology skills is the new fire-making, and that doesn’t just mean knowing how to use a mouse or download an app. The level one basics everyone needs today were mostly what we thought of as “nerd stuff” in the 1990s, and even the digital native generations aren’t always 100% up to speed. Here are some 101-level things you’ll need passing grades in to take full advantage of the modern world....

A few years ago, the mid-range market may have found itself in a rather sorry state, with devices offering sub-par performance, very limited software support, and underwhelming cameras. Fortunately though, that’s no longer the case. These days, buying a mid-range phone on a budget can still land you with useful benefits such as a strong camera, beefy battery, muscular performance, and more. Over the past few years, we’ve even seen handy premium features such as wireless charging trickle down into this sector....

We’ve already run through the British retailer’s phenomenal Pixel 6 Pro deal, achieved by applying the PIXEL100 code at checkout. Guess what? The same code will work with the Pixel 6. Add the £100 Black Friday saving that this code brings to the fact that Currys has already knocked £200 off the launch price of the Pixel 6, and it means a final price of just £299. That’s £100 less than the RRP of the Pixel 6a, which is a step-down product that only hit shops in July....

We’ve all been in that position before. You’re in the middle of a call, and you’re put on hold. You only expect it to take a few seconds, but before you know it, you’ve been on hold forever, or at least it seems like it. You want to hang up, but are sure the person you are calling will be back any minute. With a smartphone in your hand, though, especially an iPhone, you shouldn’t ever be bored....

1. Drive Capacity Due to the pricing of SSDs, most people aren’t investing in 2TB SSDs to hold absolutely everything. It’s just way too expensive for most customers right now. What smaller-sized SSDs can be used for is what is called a “boot drive.” A boot drive holds your operating system. If you were to install Windows on an SSD, it would make your computer boot much faster, regardless of the rest of your tech specs....

But why opt for websites that require payments when you can use sites that are free? For every website that requires a payment, there is another one that offers a free equivalent. However searching for these free equivalents each time you need to use a new web service can be very time consuming. Here to help you with the entire process is CatchFree – a site that maintains an organized list of websites that offers free services....

Do Macs Needs Antivirus Software? Macs aren’t immune to viruses, but they also aren’t typically targeted by attackers. The platform simply doesn’t have a large enough user base to make it worth the time for attackers to custom-build specific attack packages for the operation system’s unique features. The Unix-based macOS operating system is fundamentally different from Windows in a number of ways, meaning that any attacker hoping to infect Macs would need to create custom code tailored specifically to the operating system....

Our Opinion Damien has had the chance to test a bezel-less phone and thinks “it is a good thing to have but not a necessity.” He notes that with the bezel-less phones that are currently on the market, the screens are so large that it’s difficult to move your thumb around the whole screen. “I actually had finger fatigue while using it.” Jeffry doesn’t think bezel-less phones are useful or a gimmick, noting bezels used to be a technical limitation....
