In a past tips and tricks Tuesday, I showed iOS users how to automate tasks on their iPhones and a bunch of you asked if there was some way to automate Android in a similar fashion. So I looked into it and it turns out, there are a bunch of […]
I get a lot of telemarketer calls. So many, in fact, I’ve contemplated changing my number just to try and get it under control–it’s that bad. So in search of a better option to help stop telemarketer calls, I think I came up with a way to limit them that,
This has to be the most useful app ever on iOS. It’s called Workflow and it’s made by Apple (even though they don’t promote it very much). The concept is rather clever. The app has tons of triggers and actions that you can string together and then run by simply
Continuing with the camera tests, here we have the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus compared to its own brethren: the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 Plus, Galaxy Note8. I was curious if the S9 Plus has that much better of a camera to justify an upgrade, or if you should keep your
I’m sure we all remember the fiasco that was Apple being called out for intentionally limiting older iPhone performance based on how the battery was functioning (and the bigger problem of not telling anyone). If you aren’t familiar though, iPhone CPU throttling is when the device’s operating system intentionally limits,
Now, for me, the P20 Pro with its 3 Leica camera setup is more interesting but Huawei also launched a smaller, baby brother version called the Huawei P20. And, honestly, because it’s very similar and loses a few features but also a chunk of the price, it is probably still
So I’m not actually sure why you’d want to do this, as in I can’t think of any terribly important use cases, besides maybe using it to text from the computer, but it was still so cool and easy to do that I figured someone out there might want to use
Managing social networks can be a pain so here’s a quick tip to allow you to sort your Instagram and Facebook comments from the other notifications so you can see what needs a reply and what doesn’t quickly and easily. So this works because of Pages Manager from Facebook. So
Amazon finally allows you to have a more human-like conversation with Alexa. What I mean by that, is they’ve allowed you to give multiple commands in a row without having to say, “Alexa” Every. Single. Time. So for this tip and trick Tuesday, I wanted to show you this new
One of the more useful features in iOS 11 that not a lot of people talk about is the new built-in document scanner feature in Notes. Where you normally would have used a third-party app to do this type of scan (and there are good ones that I like out
There’s a new version of Android out called Android P (my money is on it being named Peppermint when it’s released to the public, for the record) and Google has released the developer previews. If you aren’t familiar, the developer previews are really meant for developers to test out their
Sometimes you don’t want to say the thing you need to Siri out loud. “Hey Siri, remind me to take my antibiotics for that weird rash tomorrow morning.” Maybe not that, but you get the idea. Interestingly enough, Apple actually added a feature that allows you to type to her
The S9 and S9 Plus were released recently and they are a fine bit of kit. They feel more solid than the S8 and S8 Plus for some reason, the low-light camera is insane, and that screen? Drool. But what if you love the hardware but aren’t the biggest fan
So this might seem sort of basic, especially if you are used to using custom third-party launchers on your device, but Samsung finally is letting users rotate their homescreen to landscape mode within the Samsung Experience UI. Right now, this is only working on the Galaxy S9 Plus so who
Two tips and tricks in one week?! Crazy, I know. But with the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus (and the fact that Samsung was kind enough let me use one before its release) there’s just a few videos I want to get out for anyone
