Whereas most mobile browsers require either two hands or some awkward thumb-stretching, Opera Touch, available now for Android and iOS, is built specifically for one-handed use. Opera Touch opens automatically in search mode, with a blinking cursor and keyboard ready for you to type your first query. It’s a small difference from other mobile browsers, but it’s a thoughtful touch that can save you a few valuable seconds every day. Opera Flow is designed for transferring content between desktop an

The new Gmail for web is here, and it’s designed to take the stress out of managing email overload. Gmail made a name for itself as the email provider with the best spam filter, but although it represents a far smaller proportion of nuisance emails, phishing is a far bigger threat. Previously, potential phishing emails were identified with a small bar warning readers that they should be careful clicking any links. Now there’s a high priority option, which only alerts you when an important email

The LG G7 ThinQ is literally the next big and bright Android smartphone, and now we know just how big and how bright it’ll be ahead of its May 2 launch date. LG G7 at 1,000 nits of brightnessThe LG G7 ThinQ display will be big and bright, reaching 1,000 nits of brightness, compared to the normal 600 nits we usually see from LG smartphones. “LG G7 ThinQ allows users the convenience of operating the phone in almost any lighting condition, notably under bright sunlight,” says LG. LG G7’s LCD over O

Do we really need 8K TVs? Regardless, more 8K TVs are coming in 20188K content may be virtually non-existent, but we’re about to see every major brand launch an 8K TV. “Will the other TV brands be able to resist the temptation to offer a premium 8K TV? CES 2018 saw a bevy of 8K TVs shown-off, including Samsung’s 85-inch Q9S 8K QLED TV , Sony’s 85-inch 8K TV, and LG Display’s 88-inch 8K OLED TV display. “People will buy 8K TVs as monitors, as 4K multi-screens, as whiteboards, but as high resoluti

Screens that were replaced with unofficial parts and became unresponsive in iOS 11.3 should work properly with this update. Earlier this month, iOS 11.3 seemed to introduce a bug that made some iPhone 8 screens unresponsive to touch if they weren’t official Apple parts. But, the update fixes the issue, seeming to show Apple isn’t trying to block third-party components. Beyond this fix, iOS 11.3.1 is a minor update, with no exciting new features coming with it for those unaffected by the screen i

Starting soon, you’ll see four news sources – including the likes of ABC News, Cheddar, Newsy and People TV – on the service. Also new for the Roku Channel are collections – essentially bundles of TV shows or movies that Roku assembles in-house to meet a specific need for its customers. Ideally, this means you and up to four friends or family members can listen in to the same TV show or movie via the Roku TV app without disturbing the rest of the house. Before this, private listening was limited

We gave it 3.5 stars out of five, but our Apple Watch 2 and Apple Watch 3 got 4 stars and 4.5 stars respectively, so you can see it’s certainly improved. That’s something you still don’t get on the Apple Watch, even if you own the latest generation. Top-end fitness featuresThe Apple Watch 3 isn’t the best fitness watch on the market. Each passing generation of the Apple Watch has seen improvements, with the addition of GPS on the Apple Watch 2 (which was improved again on the Apple Watch 3) and

Nintendo is no stranger to hackers finding exploits in its system, but for the very first time it appears that they’ve uncovered one that Nintendo can’t patch. Two very similar exploits have been discovered, both of which take advantage of a security weakness in the Nvidia Tegra X1 processor. It’s because the exploit is at the hardware level that Nintendo can’t fix it permanently with a simple patch – it’ll take revising the actual processor to solve this problem. As a result, homebrew code can

Samsung must have felt its ears were burning, with competitors left and right announcing solid-state drives with speeds and prices designed to outdo its 960 Pro and 960 Evo lines. Well now Samsung has struck back by introducing a new series of 970 Pro and 970 Evo SSDs that once again set a new benchmark for lightning-fast storage. The 970 Pro specifically reaches up to 3,500 MB/s and 2,700 MB/s sequential read and write speeds, respectively, which Samsung claims to be 30% faster than the last ge

It’s official: a new free Spotify app is on the way, expanding the playback options of music fans that don’t want to be locked into a monthly subscription package. Revealed at the Gramercy Theatre in New York, the app will allow users free access to 750 tracks over a maximum of 15 playlists, without forcing them into a shuffle mode. You could speculate that this is tied to the promotion of certain artists by the record labels subsidising the free tier. Spotify has 90 million free users already,

It’s not that I or other concerned citizens have anything to hide, it’s just that other people don’t have the right to log, view, and make judgement on every single thing I do online. Even if you don’t think that the government will have any interest in what you’re doing online, if you use your phone at internet cafes or wifi hotspots, a VPN is a great way to protect you from users on the same network that may have intentions that are less than pure. With financial incentives for unsavoury chara

EA DICE has announced that as of June 2018 Battlefield 1’s monthly updates will come to an end. That doesn’t mean that after June support for the game will just end. This is to be expected given that Battlefield 1 has been out for around a year and a half. This mode will support 40 players and will split them into attackers and defenders of sectors. As attention turns away from Battlefield 1, we’re expecting to see and hear more from the next Battlefield at E3 2018.

‘Chris’ is the brainchild of German Autolabs, and raised €278,720 in funding on May 2nd via Kickstarter last year. The company has now made Chris available for pre-order via its website, retailing currently for €199 (approx. Like most other digital assistants, Chris aims to help you manage calls, send messages, and easily stream music in your car without having to fumble dangerously for your phone. It can also stream music from Apple Music, Google Music, and music stored on your smartphone. Germ

If you still use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, then be aware that there’s reportedly a major hole in the browser which could be an entry point for malware. When said document is opened, it fires up a web page in the background of Internet Explorer, which subsequently facilitates the transmission of malware from a remote server. This vulnerability affects even the latest version of Internet Explorer, so if you do still use Microsoft’s aging browser, it’s certainly something you need to be aware

By logging this marathon, I’d hopefully be able to compare it to the next one and see where I’ve made improvements. It took a while, but I gradually began to regain control of my heart rate. The only thing that made my heart rate drop was the momentary sanctuary of shade… and that was far too infrequent. There was no way back – and the fact pace and heart rate matched mean the monitor was very likely accurate. There’s no doubt that I was struggling to keep up the pace, and looking at my heart ra

The Apple Watch Hermès meanwhile comes with exclusive l

Thankfully, Microsoft revealed that switching back to a version of Windows 10 without those restrictions will be free, and we’ve now seen that the process could be as simple as visiting the Microsoft Store.

YouTube has revealed the extent of its video problem, with a total of 8.3 million video removed from the site in October to December last year. The YouTube Community Guidelines enforcement transparency report highlights what Google’s doing to make sure YouTube is a safer place to visit. ‘Hateful or abusive’ content clocks in at 15%, with ‘violent or repulsive’ content making up 13% of videos flagged. “YouTube developed automated systems that aid in the detection of content that may violate our p

It might look like witchcraft, but researchers at Nvidia have developed an advanced deep learning image-retouching tool that can intelligently reconstruct incomplete photos. Nvidia’s tool is a much more sophisticated solution. For instance, when trying to fill a hole where an eye would be in a portrait, as well as using information from the surrounding area Nvidia’s deep learning tool knows an eye should be there, and can fill the hole with a realistic computer-generated alternative. “Previous d
