1. Voice Support My biggest pet peeve with the Mi TV is the absence of voice support. Therefore, the only way you can type on it is to navigate around an onscreen virtual keyboard and click every time you want to input a character through the remote. So, if you plan to search a specific show, you will have to type its name and hope it shows up in the suggestion after a couple of letters....

We may have exaggerated a little but detangling wire is a struggle and most people would agree. But while Bluetooth might have taken the wires’ spot in this plot, what it brought along was some serious confusion. With wired earphones, things were relatively simple. You had earbuds or over the head headphones to choose from. Bluetooth earphones on the other hand have three major categories or styles of Bluetooth earphones and each category is monumentally different from the other....

The new calling feature uses VoIP (voice over IP), which is similar to popular services like FaceTime and Skype. Unlike a regular cellular call, a VoIP call uses internet connectivity to make calls.

This comes just days after Apple and Google decided to end their 5 year old deal to ship YouTube app with every iOS device released since 2007.

The process is really quick and takes about a minute. First you need to upload your photo and properly align your face. I suggest you to upload a pic with front profile of yours. Next wait for WeightMirror to get your “skinny” look. It also puts the new image next to original one so you can see the difference. You can also print out both of the pictures too....

The third generation of the LG L series is born with three mobile devices that boost metallic colors and integrate narrow bezels. As you’ve probably hinted, all these smartphones come with 3G connectivity and the latest version of Android 4.4 KitKat (which is a very nice treat for a phone with a modest price). Another thing we’ve observed pretty soon is that there’s very few things which set these phones apart, except of course for internal components and size....

From the changelogs, it is but evident that the update is more focused on polishing the current features and bake in the pending business features which were announced at the time of the launch. Microsoft likes to call the update 1511 but will actually show the version as 10586 once installed on the computer. Another catch is that if you have updated to Windows 10 in the last 31 days you are not entitled to get the 10586 as of now, the reason being that Microsoft wants you to upgrade incrementally so that you can roll back the changes....

However, despite being such a significant component of the operating system, the Store is plagued with various kinds of bugs and issues — to a point where sometimes it becomes inaccessible. If the Microsoft Store app isn’t working properly on your Windows 10 PC, there are some solutions you can use. Microsoft Store Issue Fixes on Windows 10 Generally speaking, the most common Microsoft Store issues you would run into can arise due to one or more of the following factors: faulty network setting, async date and time, overly aggressive caching, pending system updates, or broken proxy settings....

Asynchronous Spacework works by intervening every frame in order to time wrap the last submitted eye buffers and this works even if the application is taking long to render the next frame. The low frame rate of 45fps is compensated by adding artificial frames and achieving the 90fps required for VR experience. Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW) is a frame-rate smoothing technique that halves the CPU/GPU time as we explained earlier. The ASW has enabled automatically and doesn’t require the developers to make any changes to accommodate the same....
