Are you overwhelming yourself with the number of tabs you have open in Safari? Using the “Tab Groups” that arrived with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, you can organize them so your browser stays nice and tidy. Similar to how tab groups work in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, you can group several tabs together and give them a label. This allows you to easily find and pull up your tabs again when you need them without cluttering up your view....

Another important part of this transition is software support. We’re now a few years into the move away from Intel processors, and a great deal of software has already been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. Rosetta 2, Apple’s translation layer which lets you run Intel-based applications on ARM, has done a great job of filling in the gaps, though not everything is supported. We no longer recommend buying a Mac that uses an older Intel chip for both performance and software support reasons....
If you’re a gamer, a mouse with a high dots per inch (DPI) and polling rate are important, but if you’re simply trying to work, a high DPI isn’t going to matter. It might even be a detriment! Additionally, if you work on a computer or otherwise spend long hours at one, an ergonomic mouse is important to prevent wrist and arm strain and injuries. There are also wired and wireless mice....
The new XPS 13 Plus processor is a 12th Gen Intel Core 28W chip, which is a nice jump from the 15W one included in the previous generation. The larger fans that Dell says support the chip provide 55% better airflow without increasing the laptop’s noise or temperature. Outside of the processor, Dell didn’t break down all of the specs available, though we know there will be some customization of how much RAM, storage, and other options you want....
The Wonder Computer of the 1980s As the price of computer components dropped rapidly in the late 1970s, it became inevitable that some company would introduce a popular, low-cost, and user-friendly computer for the masses. That company turned out to be Commodore—and the computer was called the Commodore VIC-20. The VIC-20 gained its name from its VIC graphics chip (“VIC” being short for “Video Interface Chip”) and the number “20,” because it sounded friendly....
How Touch ID Can Go Wrong There are two ways that Touch ID can cause you trouble. The first issue is that Touch ID may appear to act normally, but won’t recognize your fingerprints. This can happen for several reasons, but most of these are easy to solve. The second issue is that Touch ID won’t work at all. For example, you might see a message that you’ve reached your fingerprint limit for Touch ID, even if you haven’t added any at all....
“Shake My Head” or “Shaking My Head” SMH is an internet initialism that stands for “shake my head” or “shaking my head.” It’s used to express disappointment or disbelief in the face of what’s perceived as glaringly obvious stupidity or extremely obliviousness. As you might expect, SMH is used in any situation where you might actually shake your head in real life. If you overheard someone say, “I don’t use laundry detergent” at the grocery store, you would probably blink a few times and move your head around in shock and disgust....
A State of Digital Purgatory The easiest answer to the question of what happens to your online accounts when you die is “nothing.” If Facebook or Google is never notified of your death, your profile and inbox will remain there indefinitely. Eventually, they might be removed due to inactivity, depending on the operator’s policy and your own preferences. Some jurisdictions might attempt to regulate who can access the digital assets of someone who has died or is otherwise incapacitated....
What Is a Crypto Wallet? A crypto wallet is nothing like your regular, real-life wallet. Right now, you could probably reach for your wallet, open it up and either take out physical money or put some back in—or at least some kind of payment card. A wallet doesn’t protect your money in any way, except maybe from the weather or getting lost in your bag. A crypto wallet is a different beast entirely....
An ISO file (often called an ISO image), is an archive file that contains an identical copy (or image) of data found on an optical disc, like a CD or DVD. They are often used for backing up optical discs, or for distributing large file sets that are intended to burned to an optical disc. What is an ISO Image? The name ISO was taken from the name of the file system used by optical media, which is usually ISO 9660....
So what is DSC, and how does it differ from other types of compression? Display Stream Compression Is Lossless Compression is the act of squeezing data so that it takes up less space. In the case of DSC, this compression is necessary since display standards like DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 are limited to 32.4 Gbps and 48 Gbps respectively. Unlike lossy compression used in JPEG images or MP3 audio files, DSC is visually lossless which means you won’t notice it while in use....
Why Should Kids Learn to Program? The very act of learning to program is a worthwhile discipline. Children especially benefit from the repeated experience of taking an idea and producing a finished program. It requires and refines many desirable skills. The idea phase requires planning and creativity. The implementation phase requires understanding the programming language, the logical piece-by-piece assembly of the code, and the methodical and analytical debugging of the program....
GPT brings with it many advantages, but MBR is still the most compatible and is still necessary in some cases. This isn’t a Windows-only standard, by the way—Mac OS X, Linux, and other operating systems can also use GPT. A partition structure defines how information is structured on the partition, where partitions begin and end, and also the code that is used during startup if a partition is bootable. If you’ve ever partitioned and formatted a disk—or set up a Mac to dual boot Windows—you’ve likely had to deal with MBR and GPT....
