The big downside, however, is that Instagram.com hasn’t quite caught up with the app in terms of its comment reply or comment deletion features. At the very least, you can hover your cursor over any comment and select the heart icon that appears beside it to like it or reply manually by typing the username into the comment field. Once you’ve added a new My Posts Instagram stream to your dashboard, you’ll then see a stream of your posts just as you would on your own Instagram profile, along with the comments beneath them shown in reverse order (most recent at the top and oldest at the bottom)....

Windows 1.0 Released: Nov. 20, 1985 Replaced: ​MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System), although until Windows 95, Windows actually ran on top of MS-DOS instead of completely replacing it. Innovative/Notable: Windows. This was the first version of a Microsoft OS that you didn’t have to enter commands to use. Instead, you could point and click in a box—a window—with a mouse. Bill Gates, then a young CEO, said of Windows: “It is unique software designed for the serious PC user....

After a confusing start, the Apple Watch has found its role as a fitness and health tracker and/or notification device, and Apple has gone all-in on adding sensors and algorithmic trackers. The latest report from Bloomberg’s serial Apple rumormonger Mark Gurman says the next Apple Watch will pack a temperature sensor, but it also won’t be accurate enough for most medical purposes. “Apple’s Series 8 smartwatch may be able to detect fevers thanks to its temperature-sensing capability, which might also bring new reproductive planning features to the device, from medical use to tracking temperature while working out or running,” Vincent Amodio, CEO at Icon Medical Centers, told Lifewire via email....

The broadcast format of satellite radio is more or less the same as terrestrial, but because it’s offered through a subscription model most stations are available without commercial interruption. Like satellite television, you need special equipment to listen to satellite radio. A key benefit of satellite radio is that the signal is available over a much broader geographical range than terrestrial radio. A handful of satellites are capable of blanketing an entire continent, and each satellite radio service provides the same set of stations and programs to its entire coverage area....

Musicians tend to favor the hands-on tweakability of hardware over the fiddliness of software, and controllers like Ableton’s Push (starting at $799) bring that physicality to powerful audio software suites. But Akai has upped the game by bringing what looks like a high-quality controller at a very affordable $269. “Hardware is just ‘hands-on,’ plain and simple. There’s a level of interactivity with hardware that is impossible to replace with mouse clicks, no matter how good the technology is....

The Echo Show 15 features a 15.6" display and ships with all the hardware you’ll need to mount it on a wall, which is a first for these kinds of smart screens. The display can also sit on a countertop, though you’ll have to purchase stand accessories separately. The 1080p screen can be mounted horizontally or vertically and boasts a front-facing camera with a physical shutter, side speakers, and a mute button for turning off the microphone....

“The report shows that in the House’s mind these companies have monopoly power and are using it to their advantage,” Jeffrey S. Jacobovitz, an antitrust lawyer and partner in the law firm Arnall Golden Gregory LLP, said in a phone interview. “I don’t think they’re going to on their own make changes based on the House report. But it may make them more sensitive to the allegations that were raised....

It’s called Rapid Security Response (RSR), and it allows Apple to quickly patch security holes on-the-fly. Unlike regular iOS software and security updates, RSR doesn’t require a reboot after installation, which further lowers the barrier to keeping you as safe as possible, as soon as possible. But it’s not all upside. RSRs are relatively untested in the wild and not as secure as baking them into operating system updates. And they are also removable....

Occasionally, Apple surprises us with a MacBook form factor that breaks with tradition: this is not that year. However, despite the lack of physical changes, this year’s iteration of the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1) may represent the most substantial leap in their hardware in years thanks to the new M1 chip. This year Apple has gone with their own trademark silicon instead of relying on third-party CPUs from Intel. Apart from opening the door to running apps natively on the MacOS, this also adds a surprising amount of speed and makes the new MacBook Pro a game-changer in the world of high-powered laptops....

Google and AT&T announced the switch on Wednesday, saying they are working to make any AT&T customer with an Android phone use Messages by Google as their default messaging app. “The collaboration aims to help accelerate the industry toward global Rich Communication Services (RCS) coverage and interoperability to offer a consistent, secure, and enhanced messaging experience for all Android users around the world,” Google added in its announcement. The companies did not detail when Android users could expect the official switch from SMS to RCS, only that it would happen “soon....

Back Tap, found in the Accessibility section of your iPhone’s settings, uses the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer sensors to detect a sharp tap on the back of the handset. You can set two Back Tap triggers—a double tap, and a triple-tap—and there are several built-in options, but the real power comes when you assign a tap trigger to a shortcut automation. It’s a fantastic feature, but there’s a downside: It doesn’t alway work....

Why Use Both Time Machine and SuperDuper? Creating a backup system for your Mac is critically important. With a reliable backup in place, it’s easy to restore your data if the original files are ever deleted from your Mac or if the hard drive is erased, damaged, or replaced. While Time Machine is a fantastic tool, it’s not perfect. It doesn’t clone your entire drive, so if you have a disaster and need to get up and running fast, having another bootable backup option is a great idea....
