It’s no secret that Google is on a mission to make intrusive ads a thing of the past, and while a recent Chrome update which aimed to prevent autoplaying audio in web pages seemed like step in the right direction, it unfortunately came with some unexpected side effects. According to a story by Waypoint, the Chrome 66 update has majorly impacted countless web projects and games that rely on audio, causing Google to temporarily remove the autoplay policy for the Web Audio API.

Intel next Z390 chipset has been rumored and leaked for some time now, but the upcoming platform was official for a hot minute this week.

Remember how Intel was going to release Cannon Lake in 2016? Intel switched things up when they pushed Cannon Lake back and released Kaby Lake instead, an “optimization” in a new ‘process-architecture-optimization’ release schedule.

Google Pixel Buds , while a good-sounding set of Bluetooth earbuds, are sorely lacking in gestures that let you do more without yanking your phone out. A few months after its launch, Google is now in the process of issuing a sizeable update that aims to fix that. The first is a triple tap gesture that powers the Pixel Buds on and off. Moving onto the main attraction, a double tap gesture now skips tracks. The lack of track skipping was one of the Pixel Buds’ more questionable omissions compared

The Instax Square SQ6 isn’t Fujifilm’s first Instax Square camera, but the SQ10 that came before it isn’t all it seems.

The SQ6 produces square images measuring 62 x 62mm (2.4 x 2.4 inches) with a white border on Fujifilm’s Instax Square film packs, with each pack holding 10 films.

A faster shutter speed produces a shorter exposure, which means the sensor gets less light; a slower shutter speed produces a longer exposure, which means the sensor gets more light. Typically, in bright light you’ll find yourself using faster sh
