After a couple of quiet years, Apple has finally made some much-needed upgrades to the Apple TV and released a brand new Apple TV 4K model that supports super-high resolutions and HDR streaming. Despite this significant upgrade, though, the Apple TV has retained its minimalist design. The guts of the new 4K Apple TV (via iFixit)iFixit found that the box has a replaceable fan which is good news in terms of ease of repair. It also found there’s total of 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM supplied by SK Hynix which

A newly revealed patent could mean that Apple is still working on fingerprint scanning technology that sits beneath the screen. With the reveal of the iPhone X, the iPhone became pretty much all-screen (if you discount the ‘notch’) and so the fingerprint sensor had to go somewhere. As it turns out, it got dropped from the phone completely, but that doesn’t mean we’ve definitely seen the back of fingerprint sensors on Apple products. Want to know what we think of the iPhone X so far? Check out: H

Ever wondered what an Xbox smartwatch would look like? The images show the long-rumored (and long since cancelled) Microsoft smartwatch that was thought to be in active development around 2013. It featured Xbox branding and favored a heavily-bezelled square watch face, which had been pencilled in for release in 2015. It’s possible that, what with Xbox branding, the watch would have offered a gamified approach to shedding the pounds. While the watch never materialized, Microsoft briefly dabbled i

Dyson may be on the verge of revealing plans to launch its own electric car, according to a new report. The company, best known for its bagless vacuum cleaners and bladeless fans, would be doing away with another traditionally-key component in its electric car designs, going all electric for power rather than opting for petrol or diesel engines. It’s also been investing heavily in artificial intelligence, a sector where many of Dyson’s latest recruits have been plucked. Dyson has previously boug

Over at Ignite, Microsoft has announced that Office 2019 will be released next year, the standalone non-subscription version of the productivity suite for those who don’t yet want to commit to the cloud (i.e. Office 365). Office 2019 will include new (what Microsoft describes as ‘perpetual’) versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, along with Outlook, plus server versions of Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business (although the latter is soon to be rolled into Microsoft Teams). Preview versi

Borderlands 3 may not have been officially confirmed but at this point pretty much everyone suspects that it’s in the works. It’s likely to be released on PS4, Xbox One and PCAs Borderlands 3 hasn’t been confirmed as being actively in development quite yet, Gearbox has unsurprisingly not given it a release date either. However, based on a Take-Two investor call, a release window of October 2018 to September 2019 could be a possibility. PAX East panelYou’ll notice a lot of the hints that Borderla

I’ve gone out in a fancy car that’s WAY BEYOND MY DRIVING CAPABILITIES and I’ve become stranded by its goddamn keyless starting.

That’s because a wide range of LG smart appliances are now compatible with Google Home, thanks to the Google Assistant. LG announced today that nearly 87 of its Wi-Fi connected home goods can now tap into Google Assistant through Google Home as well as eligible iOS and Android smartphones. Types of appliances that gain Assistant support include LG washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, vacuums and air purifiers. This brings another layer of integration to the Google Home ec

The installer will detect the number of NICs (Network Interface Controllers) attached to the computer and ask you to assign them to one of the four colour-coded zones. Head to the Firewall section in the admin interface to define the rules for the firewall. After installation, the distro boots to the command-line dashboard which also includes the address of the browser-based admin console. The admin interface is the one major visible difference between the distro and its progenitor. Similarly, c

Posted by Twitter user WalkingCat, these images show what appears be Samsung’s attempt at a Mixed Reality Headset. The Samsung and Windows Mixed Reality branding is clear, as is the AKG name on the built-in headphones.

From macOS High Sierra installation problems, to security risks and issues with making apps work, read on to find out how to fix the most common macOS High Sierra problems. macOS High Sierra won’t downloadA common macOS High Sierra problem at the moment is that macOS 10.13 begins to download, but then it pauses along with an error message that says “macOS High Sierra download has failed”.

The screws are tightening around pirates using the Kodi media center platform as a means of distributing copyright protected content. A landmark UK court case has come to an unexpected end, as the defendant has now plead guilty after previously defending his innocence. Brian Thompson has pleaded guilty to two charges under the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, after pleading not guilty to the charges at an earlier hearing back in January. Thompson had been found to be selling hardware pre

It’s an exciting time for those who managed to secure one of the early SNES Classic Mini pre-orders – dispatch emails have started to appear in inboxes and we’re only a few more working days away from that September 29 release date. When such times come, you’ll want to keep it safe and that’s where PDP’s officially licensed deluxe carrying case will come in. The soft foam inserts inside the case are measured specifically for the SNES Mini and its peripherals so there’s no chance of them shifting

Whether you’re sharing selfies on Instagram, memes on Facebook, unboxing videos on YouTube or business milestones on Instagram, it’s always good to know who’s following your every word, link or photo. But knowing who’s following you can help you decide what content you want to share, what kind of people you want to reach most and, in some cases, which people you really need to block from seeing anything at all. Unfortunately getting the information you want about your social networks is not alwa

Apple is never in a hurry to reveal the battery size and RAM of its new iPhones – but that seems to have happened with the iPhone X, which reportedly has a 2,716mAh battery and 3GB of RAM. Does that mean the iPhone 8 Plus could have had a bigger battery than it does? A listing for the iPhone X reveals a 2,716mAh battery. So assuming this information is accurate you’re not getting any more power with the iPhone X, just a slightly bigger battery. Not sold on the iPhone X?

Amazon has announced that its digital assistant Alexa is now available in the Amazon Music app on iOS and Android devices. If you’re used to using Alexa on an Echo, or Echo Dot, it will be a slightly different experience, as you won’t have access to the full range of Skills (Amazon’s name for its apps) but will allow you to make more natural track selections. Alexa, go hands-freeRather than using the ‘Alexa’ command to fire it up as you would on your at-home Alexa device, there will be an Alexa

Apple has launched the latest version of macOS, High Sierra, with an unpatched zero-day vulnerability in place, a worrying state of affairs even though the flaw is one which theoretically won’t affect the majority of users (at least those who take heed of Gatekeeper’s warnings). The exploit was discovered by Patrick Wardle, chief security researcher at ‎Synack, and also affects earlier versions of macOS (and OS X for that matter). It can be delivered by an unsigned app, and is capable of hooveri

Microsoft’s underdog search engine used to have a quiet home on iOS and Spotlight for the Mac, but Apple today said in a statement to TechCrunch that it’s parting ways with Bing for most search services. Instead, Apple is turning to the common-as-air search engine from the folks in Mountain View. “Switching to Google as the web search provider for Siri, Search within iOS and Spotlight on Mac will allow these services to have a consistent web search experience with the default in Safari,” Apple’s

Earlier this month, Apple announced it would start pricing videos in 4K on iTunes at the same price as HD videos to celebrate the launch of the Apple TV 4K , and there was much rejoicing. Today, Amazon slashed the prices on all of its own 4K videos, making them infinitely more affordable than they were just hours ago. According to Pocket Lint , until recently you could find yourself paying as much as $30 for a 4K video from Amazon US. The silver lining, though, is that some of those 4K videos wi
