If you’re eagerly waiting to start some group video chat conversations with your friends over FaceTime, you’ll be pleased to know the feature is finally reaching Apple-made devices with the launch of iOS 12.1, which should be any day now. However, not all the devices that get iOS 12.1 will get Group FaceTime – as 9to5Mac notes, the iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad Air won’t get the feature, and group calls will be limited to audio-only on the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. Meanwhile dual

While today’s phones and laptops are only getting more difficult to physically repair, it’s at least getting easier to legally do so following a new decision by the US Library of Congress and its Copyright Office . The two bodies have issued new rules that will effectively make it legal for consumers and third parties to circumvent digital rights management (DRM) software or firmware installed in electronics in order to properly repair them. This is the US government’s way of saying that consume

This would seem to indicate that work is progressing on Andromeda OS, although

Back in 2016, we didn’t know much about Red Dead Redemption 2. Comparing the mapsLeaked map from 2016If you look at the bottom left of the leaked map, you’ll see the Great Plains, home to the Blackwater settlement that sits at the top right of the Red Dead Redemption map.

If you’re buying an entry-level DSLR, while it is possible to buy them body-only, most are bundled with a ‘kit’ lens. Twin lens DSLR kits on Black FridayDuring Black Friday 2018 though we’re expecting some very tempting deals on twin lens kits with entry-level DSLRs like Canon’s EOS Rebel T6 (EOS 1300D) and Nikon’s D3400. This sees the 18-55mm lens supplemented by a telephoto zoom lens – something like a 70-300mm or 75-300mm. Anti-shake systems are essential to help reduce this, with image stabi

When it launched, Amazon Fire TV Cube promised hands-free navigation from start to finish, a first for any streaming device. And while that certainly turned out to be the case if you stayed within the confines of Amazon’s own content library, navigating around third-party apps like Netflix and Hulu still required the remote. But, starting today, that all changes. A new update, which is currently rolling out to Amazon Fire TV Cube devices, will allow you to use voice commands like “Alexa, scroll

Ahead of the launch, we visited Shure’s Chicago-area headquarters and downtown offices to try out the RMCE-BT2 cable and find out about their mission in expanding their Bluetooth footprint. The future of the headphone cableAs innovative as the new RMCE-BT2 cable is, Shure would consider it a minor innovation on its previous effort, the RMCE-BT1.

The Golden Joystick Awards has announced its shortlist for Ultimate Game of the Year 2018.

Windows 10’s security woes appear to continue, with a bug apparently found in the code for UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps that could allow hackers to access your hard drive and steal your data without you knowing. While UWP apps should run in what’s known as a ‘sandbox’ mode, so that they don’t have access to your files and folders, the broadFileSystemAccess API allows apps to access your hard drive and files. So, users don’t get asked for permission or alerted to the access, and the apps

Bethesda has revealed the PC system requirements for Fallout 76, and predictably enough, it’s not overly demanding on the spec front.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is here. Luckily, as non-Red Dead platforms go, the PC is as well stocked with Old West games as a small-town saloon is with moonshine and head lice.

We know that the Edge browser is struggling – more on that later – but it seems that Microsoft is resorting to fresh tactics to boost user numbers, by (indirectly) checking up on why folks prefer the most-used browser, Google’s Chrome, rather than Windows 10’s own integrated effort. So it seems Microsoft wants to explore the reasons why Windows 10 users are picking Chrome for their web browsing, presumably with a view to bolstering Edge to better rival the top dog browser.

or has Samsung found a way to build the camera in so that the display can appear on top of it. Certainly, there’s no visible camera hole in the teaser image.
