While we’re seeing AMD dominate Intel lately, several Radeon RX 5700 XT user reports are now surfacing detailing regular crashes and a black screen issue. The issue seems to be appearing at random without any specific trigger. Of course, bugs and glitches aren’t specific to the Radeon RX 5700 XT and can happen with all graphic cards out there. However, the case of the Radeon RX 57000 XT graphic card black screen is occurring on a larger scale....

In mid-2019, Realme has launched another entry-level budget category smartphone called Realme 5. It has an HD+ LCD display, an octa-core processor, up to 4GB RAM & 128GB storage, quad rear cameras, a bigger battery, and more. The handset came with Android 9.0 Pie over ColorOS 6 out-of-the-box and a month ago, Realme has released the Android 10 and Android 11 updates for this model. If you are someone who is wondering Realme 5 and 5S will get the official Android 12 (Realme UI 3....

It looks like you are using the Ulefone Armor X6 as your daily driver and now finds some issues regarding Google Account Lock. Ulefone Armor X6 is the latest device running Android 9.0 Pie and powered by MediaTek chipsets. As we all know that MediaTek processors are known for its great performance in a budget price tag.

On the heels of news that Intel will release its Ivy Bridge processors in two waves (high power processors coming in a month; lower power processors debuting in June), Digitimes now says new 15-inch MacBook Pro production will begin in the next month. Moreover, Apple will wait until June to begin producing its smaller 13-inch MacBooks. The timing is convenient for Intel’s plans, but we do not see Apple having two separate releases just two months apart in the same product line....

You’ve probably heard carriers begin to talk about 5G coming soon. While no carrier has officially rolled out the tech, and there have been various implementations, it’s coming sooner rather than later. According to a report from Fast Company, Apple is planning to bring 5G to its iPhone in 2020. It says that Apple will be using Intel’s 8161 5G modem, and aligns with reports that the company plans on ditching Qualcomm and using Intel as its sole provider for cellular modems....

Native Union is best known for making tech accessories that feature stand out designs with a dash of fashion. Its latest product continues that trend by mixing attractive materials and fun patterns with a low profile wireless charging pad for iPhone and Qi-compatible devices. Native Union’s Drop Wireless Charger also happens to compliment the space gray HomePod perfectly… It takes a lot for a Qi pad to stand out — especially when bargain basement price options are available online — but Native Union’s Drop Wireless Charger is worth consideration if you care about how it looks....

Director Rian Johnson shares the creative thought process on his decision to make sure Star Wars: The Last Jedi is different from its predecessors. The eighth film in the Skywalker saga and second one from the sequel trilogy, the film followed up J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens two years prior. It earned an impressive $1.3 billion at the global box office, making it a smash hit. But while many loved it due to its bold storytelling, it also gained criticism from the massive fan community, making it one of the most divisive blockbusters in recent years....

Update: Commenters pointed out the update is not going well…so proceed with caution. As Roxio’s Toast moves from burning DVDs and BluRays to a “media toolkit” that allows easy social sharing and converting of audio/video (as well as burning/archiving), it is also getting updated with new Macintosh features. Today, Roxio’s Optical media burning software goes to 11.1 and adds the following updates: StackSocial is Offering Roxio Toast 11 Titanium, the Ultimate Media kit, for $50...

That’s because while built-up areas cross their collective fingers and hope their name appears on a suburb list to get fibre-to-the-node upgrades, there remains part of NBN’s remit on fixed wireless and satellite services. And for those people, the absolute theoretical best is 50Mbps, but the practical baseline is 25Mbps. So disappointing was the NBN satellite service in the early years, that Labor, the party that purchased the satellites when it created the NBN, called for a review of the technology in 2017....

We’ve been hearing various reports since the start of the year that the typical production schedule for the iPhone lineup is not happening this year, and these claims have only been boosted in recent weeks. Today, Economic Daily News is reporting that all three new iPhones — the major-redesigned iPhone 8 and the ‘7s’ iterative updates to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus — are yet to start mass production....

Reports are surfacing in China that claim Apple plans to integrate Baidu into iOS next month as the country’s possible default search function. According to Chinese news website Sina Tech (machine-translation): Google’s Susan Creighton revealed last fall that two-thirds of the Mountain View, Calif.-based Company’s mobile search comes from Apple iOS devices. Meanwhile, recent speculation claims Apple is moving to an in-house Mapping solution that would replace Google Maps. The firm also recently removed its publish to YouTube option in QuickTime for Mountain lion....

A purported casing leak back in March claimed to show what was referenced as iPhone 7 ‘Pro’ and featured dual iSight cameras and three dots resembling the iPad Pro’s Smart Connector. A separate leak appeared to show schematics for the same iPhone 7 Pro design from a previously reliable magazine late last month. Macotakara reports now, however, that Apple’s Smart Connector technology likely won’t be featured on any of the next generation iPhones....

Esteemed film director Martin Scorsese is reportedly in talks with Apple and Netflix over his next film project, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. The film ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ — based off a best-selling book of the same name — is already partway in production. The film was in development with Paramount Pictures, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, but the project has hit a roadblock as the budget spirals out of control....

Even though I’ve had a fair bit of experience with video projectors, I took Celluon’s PicoPro somewhat for granted when I reviewed it this January. I praised the pocket-sized projector, which squeezed a 720p laser video display and speaker into the footprint of an iPhone 6 Plus, but I didn’t triple-underscore how much easier it was to use than most of its rivals. PicoPro worked so well and so quietly with such little effort that I hardly thought about it....

Friends have often expressed surprise at the fact that I continue to use wired headphones. My beautifully-portable and much-loved Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones go with me almost everywhere, while my Master & Dynamic MH40s are my go-to headphones in the living room. Friends know my aversion to visible cables, and I’m usually an ‘any excuse for a gadget’ type guy, so why, they ask, do I continue to wear wired headphones?...

As someone who uses timeline-based apps such as Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X on a regular basis, horizontal display real estate is incredibly important to me. When it comes to editing video and audio, the bigger the monitor the better. With the recent popularity of extra-wide 21:9 monitors, I’ve come to understand that width can make a major difference in managing timeline-based editing workflows as well. The extra horizontal real estate is also a nice option for watching movies shot with a 2....

When I tried the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, one of the things that put me off was the quality of the keyboards available at the time. The only one I could get hold of on day one was the Logitech Create, which I found ugly and not a great typing experience. The Apple Smart Keyboard, that I got to try later, was a bit prettier but still not fantastic to type on....

Warning: This story has spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker writer Chris Terrio reveals the film’s ending is meant to rectify Luke and Leia’s separation in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The Rise of Skywalker caps off the decades-long saga by closing the door on the Skywalker line. The massive finale of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker earned mixed reviews, finding itself with lower audience and critics scores than previous installments....

Riverdale’s Betty Cooper is everything we’d want a present-day version of the character to be. Like in Archie Comics, she’s warmer than freshly baked pie at Pop’s and her high ponytails are on point. However, the reason why she’s a Riverdale fan favorite is because she’s way more of a badass than in the comics. Betty doesn’t take crap, and is a budding detective. Who wouldn’t want to hang with the youngest Cooper?...
