Google is in charge of Android, so people often say that Pixel phones run Android “as Google intended.” That’s obviously true—Google is controlling the entire software experience—but it’s still just one interpretation. Samsung’s version of Android is every bit as valid. Let’s find out which one might be the best fit for you. The Case for Samsung Galaxy Samsung takes a “maximalist” approach to its Galaxy smartphones. Some of them have massive screens with nearly a half dozen cameras on the back and more features than you can possibly use....
On Windows 10, Windows Update no longer installs every hardware driver update it has available. Instead, it offers a list of optional driver updates. You should only install these in specific situations—if in doubt, leave them alone Only Install Them If You Have a Good Reason We’ll explain what’s going on in more detail, but here’s the quick answer: We recommend you avoid installing these optional driver updates unless you have a good reason to do so....
Thanks to streaming music services, playlists have become a major part of how we listen to music. However, not everyone is taking advantage of playlists. Sure, it’s easy to find good pre-made playlists, but you should make your own. For a long time, a “playlist” was the list of songs played by a DJ on the radio. Nowadays, we think of playlists more like mixtapes. They’re a collection of songs that usually have some sort of theme....

What Qualifies as “Expensive”? When it comes to “expensive” phones, there are really two types. There’s realistic expensive—like the Galaxy S “Ultra” series—which is certainly pricey, but it’s not absurd and you’re getting a very good phone. The second type is status symbols. These phones are not practical for anyone to buy or use. They have ridiculous features and even more ridiculous prices. High-end brands love to slap their names on these phones....
When it comes to storage, that’s relatively straightforward. Most people tend to go for larger capacities, but that’s not always necessary, especially if you’re willing to do some storage management in the form of deleting old files. The truth is that SSD storage space gets exponentially more expensive as you go up in tiers, so it’s best to aim for a 1TB or 2TB external SSD. If you need more space, it may be better to look into an external hard disk drive (HDD) and deal with the slower speeds instead....

For example, if someone messages you, “YSK that the game sale is ending tomorrow,” then that person is trying to give you a heads-up so you don’t miss out on a deal.

How Traditional Torrent Files Work We won’t go into all the details about how BitTorrent works here. But magnet links are an alternative to traditional torrent files. Here’s how traditional torrent files work: Torrent files don’t contain any data of the files you want to download.

It contains information about the files that are being shared, such as their names, sizes, and information needed to do integrity checks on the data....
It’s All About Marketing TV manufacturers, like most consumer electronics makers, love to coin new marketing terms to entice consumers. And ULED or Ultra LED is one such marketing term, rather than some ground-breaking new technology. ULED televisions are essentially LED-backlit LCD TVs with extra bells and whistles, but that is a very simplistic definition. Hisense says it uses the term “ULED TV” to highlight its LED televisions that have at least 4K resolution and use the company’s patented enhancements in color gamut, local dimming, and motion smoothing....
