Source: What is Steam Next Fest and how do I watch it? Despite the ongoing pandemic severely affecting travel and attending in-person events, it’s a few days for gaming fans. The all-digital E3 2021 ends on June 15, after four days of announcements from some of the world’s biggest gaming companies. Just a day later, the week-long Steam Next Fest kicks off, highlighting upcoming releases from established companies and smaller developers alike. Here’s everything you need to know. What is Steam Next Fest? In 2019, Valve announced that online gaming platform Steam would begin hosting its own gaming showcase events. The first of these took place in December 2019, although so far this was the only one open to the public. The coronavirus pandemic has since moved the event online, although successful follow-up events took place in October 2020 and this March. Valve has renamed the event for the upcoming edition, so it will now be known as Steam Next Fest. However, the premise remains ...

Huawei MatePad Paper initial review: An E Ink productivity machine

Source: Huawei MatePad Paper initial review: An E Ink productivity machine BARCELONA (Pocket-lint) – What do you get when you cross a table with a Kindle? May sound like the beginning of a terrible joke, but it’s presumably the question Huawei asked itself before giving birth to the MatePad Paper.  It’s a really interesting concept as part of its Super Device announcement in Barcelona for MWC 2022. It’s part tablet, part e-reader, designed predominantly to be a productivity tool that fits into your existing set up.  Design 225.2 x 182.7 x 6.65 mm 360 grams weight Fingerprint power button  Type-C port  Black, Khaki and Blue finishes Where the MatePad Paper definitely isn’t like a Kindle is when it comes to size and finish. It’s designed to work as well as a tablet as it does an e-reader, and that means it’s significantly bigger than Amazon’s portable e-readers. It needs to be to fit in that 10.3-inch display, and the surrounding bezels.  Pocket-lint...

How to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S21, including smart select options

Source: How to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S21, including smart select options (Pocket-lint) – Since Samsung removed the physical home button on its handsets – way back when the S8 was launched – the method of taking a screenshot has changed. And with a modern Samsung Galaxy S device like the S22 series, you might launch Bixby or load the power-off screen instead. So how do you take a screenshot on your Galaxy S21 or S22 (or indeed an older device like the Galaxy S9, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S20)? There are a number of different options, with some Samsung additions to make it more useful than your average Android device. Here’s how. Galaxy S21 or S22 screenshot with buttons Samsung supports the traditional Android method of taking a one-touch screenshot: Make sure the content you want to capture is on the screen. Press volume down and the standby/power button on the right side at the same time – but only briefly, not too long. The screen is captured, flashed and...

Best USB drive 2021

Hình ảnh
Source: Best USB drive 2021 USB flash drives were once ubiquitous, the default way of transferring files between devices or taking them from place to place. That’s changed a bit as internet speeds have improved, not to mention cloud storage and file transfer services like Dropbox or Google Drive have boomed in popularity, but there’s still a place for the humble USB stick in many people’s lives. Whether it’s the reliability of having your files in a single place (and not reliant on an internet connection), the security that comes from knowing someone would need physical access to the device to get at your files, or just the fact that USB sticks support file sizes that most cloud services would baulk at, there are plenty of good reasons to keep a USB drive or two to hand. Still, you don’t just want to grab any old thumbstick, and there are a few factors to consider, from the physical size and design to storage capacity, read/write speeds, and support for different USB formats.

The best VPN for Netflix: Unlock new shows

Hình ảnh
Source: The best VPN for Netflix: Unlock new shows Netflix offers plenty of binge-worthy original content, as well as many more TV shows and movies. If you find that a show you really want to watch is only available if you subscribe to it in another region (e.g. the US, Japan or Brazil), you can use a VPN service to watch it. The bad news: It’s against Netflix’s terms of service. Netflix doesn’t want you to use a VPN to access region-blocked content, so it actively blocks VPN servers. It has become a game of cat and mouse that even the best VPNs can struggle to keep up with. If you try to access Netflix with a previously blocked VPN server, you may see a message stating “You appear to be using an unblocker/proxy” and access is denied. Most of the best VPN services work tirelessly to combat this, but are quick to create new IP addresses and servers. So while we review the best Netflix VPN services you can use, we want to remind you that you should do so at your own risk and that t...

Best Gaming Chair Deals

Source: Best Gaming Chair Deals Gaming chairs offer enhanced comfort and support over long periods of play, but like most gaming-related products, they can get expensive pretty quickly. It is all the more important to find a good savings offer. This is where we at Tech Advisor come in; We’ve scoured the web for the cheapest gaming chair deals currently available in the UK and we’ve listed them here. The best gaming chair deals for June 2021 What to look for when buying a gaming chair? When you are in the market for a gaming chair, there are several factors to consider as gaming chairs, unlike most standard chairs, are not always one size fits all. The first and most important is ergonomics. Basic gaming chairs only have height adjustment, but it’s worth looking for a chair that also has an adjustable backrest and adjustable armrests. Consider the backrest height of the chair and measure yourself if possible. Finally, it’s important that your chair properly supports your spine ...

Huawei Mate X2 vs Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G: Samsung gets beat at its own foldable game

Source: Huawei Mate X2 vs Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G: Samsung gets beat at its own foldable game Mate X2 vs Z Fold 2 display crease, hinge design, and multitasking Cringy crease from Samsung, superior ergonomics and display(s) from the X2 First off, the Mate X2 has the better, more refined, and more useful as a daily driver design and displays. Don’t get us wrong, both foldables are still ten-ounce fatsos that are a chore to lug around, open or closed, but at least the Mate X2 halves align perfectly when closed, unlike the visible Fold 2 gap at the hinge side.  Mate X2 vs Z Fold 2 design Speaking of the hinge, Huawei has done a better job than Samsung here, simplifying its design, and making it easier to open and close with no strange noises created in the process. The new hinge design with less yet reinforced moving parts, has allowed for the least visible crease among foldable phones.  In our Z Fold 2 review we were talking that you get used to the crease, whereas w...

Samsung Galaxy A42 5G review

Source: Samsung Galaxy A42 5G review introduction The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G is a very strange smartphone. Touted as the cheapest 5G phone, it was teased for weeks before finally releasing its full specs. And it turns out that the A42 has gotten significantly larger since its compact predecessors, the A40 and A41. Not only that, this new Galaxy A42 5G is also shaping up to be an excellent gaming device with a fairly large battery. Yes, the Galaxy A42 5G is weird, but in a good way. The Galaxy A42 5G doesn’t deviate from the beautiful design we saw on the Galaxy A41 and comes with an even more glamorous Prism Dot look. But it’s bigger now that Samsung has opted for a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED screen this time. It may be bigger, but the resolution has dropped to HD+, which can get an instant “ew,” but bear with us for a moment. The latest mid-range Galaxy is powered by the 5G-capable Snapdragon 750 chip, which is a real powerhouse. And with that momentum under that HD+ display, we’re s...
