This Samsung official tool has much more to offer than just a data transfer feature. However, it is not commonly used today because of the other free options available. For that reason alone, today we will focus on Samsung Kies, its features, pros and cons, system requirement, and alternative tools. What is Samsung Kies? Kies is a proprietary Samsung free software application to communicate between a Samsung mobile phone and a computer, usually through a wired USB connection....

With eight ships available and around 50 upgrades that you pick up during the game, there’s also a great looking online multiplayer mode to fully reap carnage on your enemies. Multiplayer has a simple dogfight mode, but the best part looks like fleet battles, the main ‘multi-stage’ mode that has you and your online pals plot, plan and execute a battle over its many phases. All the action takes place in the cockpit and the game will hopefully be a worthy addition to the Star Wars canon after the success of older franchises like Rogue Squadron and Battlefront....

Además, el tema de la privacidad cuando usamos Internet se está convirtiendo en una preocupación bastante común. Aunque pensamos que cuando visitamos distintas páginas web todo es privado, esto no suele ser así. Tu proveedor de Internet sabe dónde te conectas y en algunos países, sobre todo en Estados Unidos, esta información puede incluso venderse con fines comerciales. Estas son las mejores VPN que puedes instalar este año. Los sitios web utilizan rastreadores para seguirte y por eso, por ejemplo, a menudo verás anuncios de productos que has visto hace unos minutos....

Mathew Firsht, managing director at Applause Store Productions, which finds audiences for TV shows such as Top Gear and the Big Brother evictions, sued former school friend Grant Raphael for libel and misuse of private information after he created a Facebook profile for Firsht containing fake information regarding his sexual and political preferences. He also set up a further page relating to Applause Store Productions, entitled ‘Has Mathew Firsht lied to you?...

The Fitbit Aria 2 is a smart scale that measures your weight, body fat percentage and BMI (Body Mass Index). It wirelessly syncs these stats with your Fitbit Dashboard and mobile app, and is a great partner for the Fitbit activity trackers. The company now sells a cheaper set of scales: the Fitbit Aria Air, for £49 / $49. These lack the body fat percentage reading, which is a better metric than BMI for evaluating your weight health, and require you to have your phone with you when you weigh yourself....

The Charge 4 matches the activity tracker with the top smartwatches. In some ways, the main difference is the monochrome touchscreen. The Charge 4 has everything the Charge 3 had and makes the tracker even better. Even owners of the excellent Fitbit Versa 2 smartwatch will look enviously at some of the new features Fitbit’s tracker brings to the table. The Charge 4 debuted Active Zone Minutes (AZM), a personalised fitness challenge that counts all activities that push your heart rate up – be that running, weights, cycling or dancing....

It’s a budget design and a conservative choice at that. At 36 mm thick, it out-slabs even Asus’ desktop replacement 17-incher, and tips the balances at just over 2.4 kg. That’s not untypical for 15-inch laptops in recent memory, but somehow seems even heavier here, we’d guess because of the chunky proportions. Build quality is tougher than much of the competition at this price, tough-feeling black plastic throughout with an eggshell patina that should shrug off daily use....

Fortunately, Samsung is here to show Apple how it’s done. Today the company unveiled new models in its affordable Galaxy A-series range, including the A53 5G which, at £399/$449, is a close competitor to Apple’s £419/$429 iPhone SE. It hardly needs to be pointed out that Android phones at that price all offer slicker designs and better screens than the iPhone SE, but what sets the Galaxy A53 apart is that it also plays to Apple’s traditional strengths, packing in flagship luxuries such as stereo speakers, IP67 water-resistance, and long-term software support....

This happens sometimes in tech journalism – a brand is so keen to show off its shiny new thing that it lets reporters and YouTubers take a look at a product before it is ready to ship, as long as they promise not to talk about the unfinished stuff. That’s why I agreed, somewhat begrudgingly, to have a play with the Honor Magic Vs before it was available with software that customers will actually use....

If all of this is just too much, and you’re secure in the idea of shedding the uppercase, lowercase, numeral, symbol, encumbrance, then in a few swift steps you can make Windows 10, or indeed several of the previous iterations, remove the need for a password when you log in. Be sure to think this through though, as convenience and security do not often make glad bedfellows. Disabling the user password requirement To begin this short walk to freedom hold down the Windows key and press R....

With that in mind, Microsoft the ability to customise your call background. This can be great if you’d like to look more professional on call, or pretend you’re in a luxurious location as opposed to confined to your home. This feature has been popularised in recent weeks on Zoom, whose daily active has grown to more than 200 million during the coronavirus outbreak. However, the software has been plagued by privacy concerns which have left some reluctant to continue using it....

Before you do anything else make sure that the file your antivirus is concerned about is actually legitimate. Look at its location on your computer, look at why your antivirus is flagging it up. Have a search on Google by typing in the name of the software that is being flagged up, the name of your antivirus and ‘false positive’ behind it. Make sure to take a look at our best picks for antivirus and VPN software to help keep yourself safe....

I felt great installing Windows 11 when Microsoft started pushing out the preview builds. The only reason I switched back to Windows 10 was because of the context menu lag. Thankfully, I had installed Windows on an external SSD, so switching OS wasn’t much of a trouble. Well, I got to agree that Windows 11 does offer some attractive features as well. For instance, you could install and run Android apps natively on Windows 11....
