How to Clear the iPhone Clipboard The clipboard in iOS is fairly limited. It can only hold one piece of information at a time, and it’s not directly accessible to a user. But, you can use that limitation to your advantage. Replacing the text in the clipboard with empty text is a good way to effectively wipe out the old information saved there. All you need to do is copy a space and you’ll be set....

I unboxed a PIXMA G6020, carefully topped up the ink tanks, and put it to use in my office over the course of an intense testing session and about eight hours of use over five days. I looked at everything from print speed and quality to usability and operating costs to help you decide whether or not this intriguing option belongs in your own home, office, or even business setting....

What Audio Amplifiers Do In both home and car audio systems, an amplifier strengthens a weak audio signal. When the signal that goes into the amplifier is too weak to drive speakers, the signal that comes out can get the job done. The power of an amp dictates how loud and distortion-free the sound is. Do You Really Need a Car Audio Amp? Here are a few benefits of including a separate amplifier in your car audio system:...

How Do You Plan to Use the Photo? For photos you plan to only share on the internet or send by e-mail, you can shoot at a lower resolution.

These routers ship with the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. Can’t Get the Valet Default Password to Work? If the default password doesn’t work for your Valet or Valet Plus, then someone changed it at some point (which was smart, for security’s sake). If you have no way of knowing the current password, your only course of action is a factory reset. That’s exactly what it sounds like: a complete reversion back to the original factory settings....

How to Compact and Repair an Access Database Before you begin, ensure that you have a current database backup. Compact and repair is a very intrusive database operation and has the potential to cause database failure. The backup will be instrumental if this occurs. Remember that compact and repair creates a new database file. Therefore, any NTFS file permissions you applied to the original database will not apply to the compacted database....

Drawing files in the CVX format can hold project settings like image effects and layers, as well as both vector and raster graphics. How to Open a CVX File CVX files can be opened with ACD Systems’ Canvas program, version 6 and newer. Another program from ACD Systems, ACDSee, supports the CVX format too. If neither Canvas nor ACDSee can open your CVX file, it’s possible that you have a file that uses the CVX file extension but that doesn’t have anything to do with ACD Systems software....

When the Dell Inspiron 7370 launched in 2017, it was ahead of the pack in terms of processing power, size, weight, and overall design. Things have changed in the last two years, however. That doesn’t mean the 7370 isn’t still a strong contender. I spent more than 40 hours testing the Dell Inspiron 7370 to see if it holds up in the 2019 laptop market. Design: Outdated but solid When the laptop was released in 2017, it was competing with—among others—the likes of the MacBook Air....

Common Directions in Designs The three directions common in designs used to direct the eye are: Horizontal: If you divide the page or screen in half from side to side with a line or other element, the eye moves to each element in the top half of the design before moving to the section under the horizontal line or element that divides the page.Vertical: If you have two long, narrow columns of text or two long, narrow photos or graphic elements, you have a design with a vertical direction....

The reason that all your TVs may now require a box, even if you don’t subscribe to premium pay channels, is that your cable service has finally gone all-digital and, on top of that, may also be implementing copy-protection (scrambling) on most, or all, its signal feeds going into your home. Extra Equipment, Extra Cost This change not only affects what you need to receive your cable TV programming but also adds extra costs to your monthly cable bill....

Whether you’re in one of those groups or have another reason to avoid iTunes, you may wonder whether you must use iTunes with your iOS devices. The answer is no. Using iTunes is not required. You have other choices. Sync With iCloud Only While the combination of iTunes and a Mac or PC used to be the only way to manage data on your device and to make backups, that’s no longer the case....

The thing is, these aren’t podcasts. Podcasts are like web pages—anyone can listen to any podcast in any podcast app, just like you can view any web page in any browser. While Audible (and also Spotify) might call its audio shows “podcasts,” they are not. “The danger could be that shows born as podcasts morph into a conceptually different format that can be processed and packed as an exclusive show,” Andrea Nepori, podcaster and writer for Italian newspaper La Stampa, told Lifewire via message....

A security researcher has demonstrated a mechanism for attackers to steal data from an air-gapped computer, which is a computer that is completely disconnected from the network and has no wireless or wired connectivity to the internet. Dubbed SATAn, the attack involves repurposing serial ATA (SATA) cables inside most computers as a wireless antenna. “This is a good example of why there is a need for defense in depth,” Josh Lospinoso, CEO and co-founder of Shift5, told Lifewire in an email....

Dropbox was one such developer, but times have changed, as the company has finally updated their popular macOS cloud storage app to run natively on the Apple Silicon platform. This update is fully compatible with the ARM architecture of the M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max chips, though it is still in beta. Prior to this release, Dropbox could still run on M1 Macs, but the software would be put through a translation application called Rosetta 2....

Focal length determines how much of a scene the camera sees, and it varies with the lens. A wide-angle lens can take in an entire landscape; a telephoto lens zooms in on a small subject in the distance. Focal length is important to understand, particularly if you’re shooting with a DSLR camera. Some basic knowledge of the concept can help you choose the right lens for a particular subject and know what to expect even before you look through the viewfinder....
