A mobile Wi-Fi connection can be created by the smartphone itself, using a process known as internet tethering, or by a portable device called a mobile router or a mobile hotspot, into which you insert a SIM card. When used frequently, mobile Wi-Fi routers can be the preferred solution because they won’t drain your smartphone’s battery, there’s no fiddling around with swapping SIM cards, and you won’t need to leave your phone with whomever is sharing its internet connection....

Some other things you might consider include speed, both in charging your connected device and recharging the bank when it empties. Capacity is important, too: it needs to be high enough to get your through the day with juice to spare – even share – without weighing down your pocket or bag. Ports and connections matter, too. What are you charging? A phone, a laptop, a watch? The number and range of ports is important, and if you want to avoid carrying multiple cables then you could look for a version with built-in cables or wireless charging....

Remember when your password to the company used to be ‘Skywalker77’? Fast-forward 20 years, and now your password looks like you fell asleep when your hand elbow on the keyboard (sdl;jkfals518lsjk(kks1!). Fortunately, just as it appeared, people would just have to give up on knowing all their own passwords, cooler heads prevailed, and there started being more and more logical ways to preserve one’s own passwords without writing a laundry list of usernames and passwords and stuffing it in your pocket....

Find out more about the game in our Red Dead Redemption 2 news round-up, and you’ll also enjoy our list of the most anticipated games. Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now. If you want to start playing it immediately, you’ll want to download the game from the PlayStation Store or Xbox’s Microsoft Store. The downside is that these downloads tend to be the most expensive way to get your hands on the game and without a physical copy you won’t be able to trade it in at GAME or CeX stores once you’ve finished playing it....

And that’s not even getting to the smart functionality. Smart lights can be operated remotely, by voice commands, or on a schedule. Many can also pulse in time to music, or add drama to your TV or gaming set up.

And scheduling it for morning can help you to wake more gently than a blaring alarm....

Anyone outside of the tech industry would scarcely consider wearing traditional-looking smartwatches to work, dinner or at any event other than exercising due to the nature of their external design. If you’re searching for a smartwatch to double as an attractive accessory, you most likely would have to sift through hundreds of bulky, boxy and sometimes straight-up tasteless models to find the few that make the cut. Often, manufacturers produce smartwatches that are unquestionably masculine in design, with dimensions that dwarf a smaller wrist....

But there’s a problem. USB-C is merely the connector type, and not all USB cables are created equal. They differ wildly in charging and data-transfer speeds, which means some might not be able to charge your device and some might not transfer data to it. Further confusing matters is the fact the USB-C connector is identical in design to another standard known as Thunderbolt, but it hasn’t always operated in exactly the same way....

In an interview with the New York Times at the DealBook conference, Gates said on stage (via The Verge): “There’s no doubt that the antitrust lawsuit was bad for Microsoft, and we would have been more focused on creating the phone operating system and so instead of using Android today you would be using Windows Mobile… If it hadn’t been for the antitrust case… we were so close, I was just too distracted....

Fruto de ello, comenzamos a ver este año, modelos con innovaciones únicas como son los disparadores emergentes magnéticos que contempla el móvil Black Shark 5 Pro que aquí tenemos ocasión de analizar. Sin embargo, vemos como el precio del móvil se acerca cada vez más al de los teléfonos buque insignia en lugar de mantenerse en la gama media, su hábitat habitual de generaciones anteriores. ¿Ha hecho lo suficiente Xiaomi para justificar un precio?...

Bose realised this, and got to work on the SleepBuds. The first-gen SleepBuds suffered from battery issues, but the company is confident that it has fixed that with the new and improved Bose SleepBuds II. The question is, at a premium £229.95/$249.95, do they offer enough to take the plunge? While the SleepBuds II do excel in some areas, frustrating restrictions make them hard to recommend – carry on reading to find out why....

You get additional bi-flange and tri-flange tips, too.

Canon’s PIXMA iP2850 is somewhat of a rarity in today’s multifunction printer-obsessed market – a relatively compact single-function colour inkjet printer aimed at the home office worker or casual user who wants virtually no frills apart from basic printing. (See also: best inkjet printers of 2014.) Not surprisingly the printer itself is also single hue – a sort of Apple white with occasional dashes of black lettering and icons. When you take it out the box, you almost wonder if it’s a toy printer as it weighs a miniscule 2....

The regulation has been apparently forced on China’s telecom operators. The Chinese government presents the move as a user-friendly way to verify identity, but critics see it as another way to monitor people in a country famous for its authoritarian governments. The government said the new law is to “protect the legitimate rights and interest of citizens in cyberspace”, which is an uninformative explanation. You must show photo ID in China and many other countries in order to sign a new mobile phone contract, but the company won’t have access to your photo as a data reference point....

Since the streaming platform launched last year a free seven-day trial has been offered, akin to those on rival services, and it was even stingier than Netflix’s 30-day free offer. That said, Disney+’s £5.99 per month price is very competitive. A Disney spokeswoman confirmed to CNET the company had scrapped the offer, saying: “The service was set at an attractive price-to-value proposition that we believe delivers a compelling entertainment offering on its own....

We’ve already reviewed the Phantom 3 Professional which wowed us not only with its stable, powerful flight, but also the excellent video quality which runs to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. The Phantom 3 Standard (P3S) was announced a few months after the Professional and Advanced (in August 2015) and provides a much more affordable entry into the world of top-quality consumer quadcopters. DJI Phantom 3 Standard review: Price Thanks to the introduction of the Phantom 4, the P3 range has now dropped in price....
