This can put a strain on your Wi-Fi router, especially when streaming video and playing video games. Factors such as thick walls and distance can prevent your original router signal from achieving full coverage. To bypass this, Powerline technology uses the home’s electrical circuit to transmit the strength of your original internet signal throughout your home. The dLAN 1200 Wi-Fi ac allows you to create new Wi-Fi spots throughout the home. This means you can get fast, reliable WiFi signal in ev

Decide who you want in the groupIn the Facebook Messenger app, just select the group of people that you want to create a playlist with. You can also share previously made playlists once you have some of them, but as this is your first you’ll want to create a playlist under Group Playlists. Everyone in the group will be able to add to the playlist in Messenger. The playlist will automatically appear in your Spotify account, where you’ll have the full control to delete and move tracks around. Once

Microsoft has recruited another big-name application to bolster the rather thin ranks of the Windows Store, with the introduction of a Spotify app. That means Windows 10 users can now benefit from an automatically-updated store app for Spotify, and moreover, so can those running Windows 10 S – and Windows Store apps are obviously particularly vital for the latter group of folks, because that’s the only software they can use. Note that Windows 10 users will need to be running at least the Anniver

PlayStation VR will expand beyond games this week with the release of its first VR short film: Ctrl. From production company Breaking Fourth, Ctrl is a film that puts players directly into the mind of a professional eSports player called Liam as he competes in a tournament. Get your head in the gameThe film is already available on GearVR (where it can be purchased for £1.49/$1.99), and was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival VR Showcase and Raindance Film Festival, where it earned p

They, like many other images of the iPhone 8, show an all-screen front with no home button, and no fingerprint scanner on the back either, suggesting that it’s built into the screen. Or, perhaps, the power button on the right edge – though many of the cases cover that button, so if it is there then some of these designs wouldn’t be right. The case renders also show a vertically stacked dual-lens camera and Apple logo on the back, while the left side houses volume controls. The cases are made by

The idea here is to get all connections to a VPN router IP addresses to be sent to the VPN router. You have to create a new rule that will make any data destined for LAN addresses on your VPN router’s network to be forwarded onto the VPN router. Remember that the WAN IP address of the VPN router is actually a LAN IP address of the primary router, since the VPN router is actually connected to a LAN port on the primary router. While connected to the primary router, try to access the management con

Scott Forstall hasn’t spoken publicly about the iPhone in five years, not since he was fired from Apple in 2012. Jobs agreed, according to Forstall: “Steve said, ‘Put the tablet on hold, let’s build a phone. It was infused into the design sense of Apple by Steve Jobs since the original Mac. Hearing Forstall talk about creating the first iPhone is apropos as this year marks the device’s 10th anniversary. Forstall spoke with what seemed like genuine delight about his time at Apple, creating the iP

Voice recognition software like Nuance’s Dragon programs do have the power to weave speech into text, albeit often for a steep price, but now Microsoft is bringing its own app to the table, and it’s called Dictate. More an add-on than a standalone application, Dictate allows users to add text to Word, PowerPoint, and even Outlook just by speaking into a microphone — ditching the need for any third-party software. In addition to supporting the spoken word in over 20 languages, Dictate can also pr

The electronics firm unveiled a concept for a flexible ThinkPad laptop at an event in New York today. Lenovo’s flexible laptop will rely heavily on voice commands and be built using “advanced materials” and “new screen technologies.” What’s more, the laptop concept will also be “always connected, always on,” work with multiple input methods and rely on what sounds like artificial intelligence to feed you information you need to know. It could be years before Lenovo’s flexible laptop becomes a re

Netflix is giving viewers control over the stories they’re watching as the streaming service is launching its new children’s shows featuring interactive elements. Much like the choose-your-own-adventure books of our youth (or, for you youngins’, a Telltale video game) the two programs — Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale and Buddy Thunderstruck: The Maybe Pile — allow viewers to take control during key parts in the story. Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale is available to watch globally st

Google’s Project Fi (yes, that’s the name) mobile virtual network operates on the back of Sprint, T-Mobile, and now U.S. Cellular’s LTE networks. What is Project Fi? Project Fi is the name of Google’s network that offers mobile data directly to users, much like every other carrier that’s available to choose between. However, if you don’t use all that data, Google will only charge you for what you used. Google is doing the same here with Project Fi, making itself the middleman between customers a

This includes, ironically enough, a leaked audio recording of an internal briefing about leaks. When a new Apple product enters production, the number of daily screenings jumps to three million. For the security experts leading the briefing, secrecy and discretion are tantamount to keeping leaks at bay. TechRadar has asked Apple about the authenticity of the leaked briefing recording and for comment on how it handles leaks. Keeping the mystiqueAs described by the presenters and those in videos s

OnePlus 5 vs iPhone 7 designThe OnePlus 5 has a similar design to the iPhone 7, with both phones sporting a slim metal unibody with antenna bands curving around the top and bottom edges, a camera in the top left corner of the back and a home button which doubles as a fingerprint scanner below the screen. OnePlus 5 vs iPhone 7 displayIn many ways the OnePlus 5 is more a competitor to the iPhone 7 Plus than the iPhone 7, in part because of its 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 screen, where the iPhone 7 has a

Expected to roll out soon, Amazon will update its Echo speakers to shine a yellow light when users have a new voice or text message waiting for them. Besides expanding the color scheme on Amazon’s normally monochrome tube, the yellow signal also helps distinguish unchecked messages from incoming calls. Originally, a pulsing green light was used for both saved messages and someone calling on the line, causing confusion for some users. 🚨New light alert 🚨Coming soon to an Echo near you, yellow ligh

OnePlus 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S8 designThe OnePlus 5 is a good-looking phone, with a slim 7.25mm thick metal unibody, curved edges, and antenna bands that wrap around the edges, almost disappearing into the frame. OnePlus 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S8 displayThis is arguably the high point of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the low point of the OnePlus 5. OnePlus 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S8 OS and powerThe Samsung Galaxy S8 is a tremendously powerful phone, with 4GB of RAM and either a Snapdragon 835 or Exynos 8895

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is going to be a big phone with a big comeback story, and we now have a better idea of when it’ll arrive. The Galaxy Note 7 launched on August 19 of last year, but was recalled after just two months due to battery explosions. Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 launch will therefore put emphasis on battery safety, though the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus have successfully launched without incident. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 specsThe Galaxy Note 8 will be the Samsung’s first flagship phone with an

You may be asking why this new phone is called the OnePlus 5 and not the OnePlus 4. The next flagship phone from Chinese company OnePlusThe next flagship phone from Chinese company OnePlus When is it out? If you’re in Australia there’s no confirmed release date for the OnePlus 5 and we wouldn’t hold out much hope for a release there as the company hasn’t released in the market before. The 64GB storage and 6GB of RAM version of the OnePlus 5 will cost you $479 (£449, around AU$630). The 6GB of RA

The sun is out, the BBQ is on, but Valve would rather you were shacked up indoors in front of your PC gaming rig. Yep, it’s time for the Steam Summer Sale 2017.
