You may find tutorials online promising to show you how to change Siri’s name to Jarvis and even change its voice. Still, those tutorials require you to jailbreak your iPhone, which voids the warranty and could result in a completely useless iPhone if you make a mistake....

The Bottom Line Like other Canon all-in-one printers, this all-in-one printer is a useful and hard-working tool. Print quality is exceptional and it’s a real convenience to be able to use plain paper and still get good results. It’s a big and heavy piece of machinery and it’s certainly priced at the high-end of the all-in-one inkjet market, and we don’t think the boost in print quality is enough to make it a much better choice than other Pixmas; but if you want the top-of-the-line quality and don’t mind paying extra, you’ll love the MX7600....

A Well Thought Out Design Plenty of cyclists carry their phones on long bike rides. Cyclemeter puts the phone’s GPS functionality to work with a full-featured cycle-computer, mapping display, and training log. The app also works with a Bluetooth-linked wireless heart rate monitor. The only downside of using an app like Cyclemeter instead of a dedicated, handlebar-mounted cycle computer is the lack of real-time feedback. We do not recommend mounting a smartphone on the handlebar due to concerns about water, vibration, and dirt damage....

One is called default.emi and is located at the root of the program’s installation directory....

For a relatively low cost, a lot of modern antennas provide a bevy of fairly advanced features. Many are ATSC 3.0 compliant, meaning they’re ready for 4K, and cover both VHF and UHF spectrums. Some can pick up signals from up to 60 miles away, and even offer filters and insulation to ensure you’re getting the clearest possible result.
