The ClearStream 2V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna is so cumbersome, unsightly, and complicated that I secretly wanted it to fail. Despite my attempts to judge this book by its cover, however, it was one of the best TV antennas of all the ones I tested. Serves me right I suppose. If you live far enough from your local TV signal source that other indoor antennas have failed you, the ClearStream 2V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna might actually provide some help....

What Is a Master File? A master file shows the links for individual Word files. The content of these subdocuments isn’t in the master document, only the links to them are. This means that editing the subdocuments is easy because you can do it on an individual basis without disrupting the other documents. Plus, edits made to separate documents will automatically be updated in the master document. Even if more than one person is working on the document, you can send various parts of it to various people through the master document....

When anyone picks up a guitar or sits at a piano for the first time, they pluck and tap and get interesting sounds out of it immediately. Keep going, and eventually, something you like might happen. Practice and education improve your technique and ability, of course, but you don’t need to learn how to use it to make those first sounds. That’s kind of the idea behind Critter and Guitari’s 201 synth....

Since its original announcement in 2012, and then the subsequent teaser trailer that gave us our first look at Night City’s futuristic world, Cyberpunk 2077 has been at the top of my most anticipated games list. Every additional trailer and gameplay reveal brought more information, which only helped to fuel the nuclear energy in the hype train that I’ve been riding for almost eight years now, despite a series of delays through 2020, the most recent of which pushed Cyberpunk 2077’s release back to December....

What Is an EPRT File? A file with the EPRT file extension is an eDrawings file. It contains a representation of a 2D or 3D drawing generated from a CAD program. EPRT files are created through CAD programs via the eDrawings Publisher plug-in. They’re typically made so that a 3D drawing can be easily transferred online and viewed for free, even by an inexperienced user. The format is not only lightweight but also read-only, which means no changes can be made to the original model....

Evecase has been putting out affordable bags for a number of years now. While not as renowned as a company like Timbuk2, the brand is definitely popular, and their Universal Messenger Tote is a great option if you want a minimal messenger bag to carry your laptop with you. The rock-bottom price alone will at least make you take a look when weighing your options. We specifically tested their 13-inch version, but you can also get the bag in 15- and 17-inch sizes....

The Comforting Nature of Hydraulic Brakes In traditional brake systems, pressing down on the brake pedal generates hydraulic pressure that activates the brake shoes or pads. In older systems, the pedal acts directly on a hydraulic component known as a primary cylinder. In modern systems, a brake booster, usually powered by vacuum, magnifies the force of the pedal and makes it easier to brake. When the primary cylinder is activated, it generates hydraulic pressure in the brake lines....

How Facebook’s Messenger App Works Most people use Facebook Messenger on their mobile devices.

While you already can share your Instagram posts to your Facebook account, the social network wants to try out the other way, as reported by TechCrunch on Monday. The company reportedly began testing the feature worldwide earlier this month, but currently is only making it available to a small group of users. Images of the test show a new button on the top right when you go to create a new post, displaying the Instagram logo and a toggle for on or off to allow sharing....

What Are FDX & FDR Files? A file with the FDX or FDR file extension is a Final Draft document. These files are used by the screenwriting software Final Draft to store scripts for TV episodes, movies, and plays. FDR is the file extension used in Final Draft versions 5, 6, and 7. Documents in newer versions of the software are saved as FDX files. While most FDR files you’ll come across will be Final Draft documents, some are embroidery designs, Windows error reports, or SideKick 2 notes....

After the 2013 discontinuation of the software, GHO files could be created using Ghost Solution Suite. Sometimes, this file is accompanied by GHS files, which are part files used to store disk images on smaller storage devices. How to Open a GHO File GHO files might be able to be opened with Ghost Solution Suite (that link goes to Broadcom.com, the current owners of the software), but there’s a good chance that program uses a newer format and doesn’t support GHO files anymore....

This week, Google Maps introduced updates to its app, including directions inside public places like malls, airports, and train stations. As someone who gets turned around quite often inside large public buildings, I was excited to try this new feature in person at a local mall. While Google Maps has proved itself to be a top-tier navigation app, it still has a ways to go for its indoor directions to meet the same quality as its regular directions....

9to5Google dug into the newest beta update for Google Messages and found what looks to be an intended alternative to the app approaching iMessage reactions. Android users who are messaging back and forth with iPhone users currently see these reactions as short text messages, but this potential change could do away with that. Instead, it’s looking like Google intends to have the Google Messages app replace these iMessage reaction texts with emoji....
