Mouse Without Borders is a free app available at Microsoft Garage that often offers experimental apps and tools. This app allows you to use a single mouse and keyboard across multiple screens and different systems. However, Mouse Without Borders was not working as advertised. Here are some possible solutions including the one that eventually worked for me. Mouse Without Borders works from Windows 7 to 10. It is seamless even if you have different Windows OS versions installed on separate computers....

Therefore, it seems only fair to pit both the apps against each other and see which one is worth your penny. Interface When it comes to the app interface, we can’t help but see the contrasting dissimilarity between the two. On one hand, we have the slightly underwhelming looks of the MX Player, while on the other, we have the sophisticated looks of the VLC player. The former just has a white background with the media library options arranged in a list, the later has a stylishly designed interface displaying the video thumbnails....

The recipe of OnePlus is straightforward — keep the look and feel of the software close to Google’s Android while adding some custom flavor. The most popular launchers, such as Nova and Action, also follow the same path for success. For the last few years, Nova has been the undisputed king of customization. We have seen many reviewers simply slapping it on the new device from day one. But on the other hand, OnePlus also delivers a smooth and near-stock Android experience with its launcher on Oxygen OS....

Today, we’ll see an example of one such option: Photoshop’s destructive and non-destructive adjustments. And in this entry we’ll show you how and when to use them so that once you learn them, you will notice that with a little understanding of this image editor, Photoshop can become a very powerful tool that can provide you with a lot of flexibility. If you’ve worked with Photoshop before, then you know it’s all about the layers that it creates for images in order to keep your edits more organized....

Road trips are a popular American pastime, but they happen across the world too. The journey is the destination and that’s why it helps to plan it out in good detail. Why not, when you have web applications like Roadtrippers to help you out. Roadtrippers is a trip planning website that is based on Google Maps. The map helps you create a basic route plan for your trip. But Roadtrippers also gives you a good set of information on what’s available along your route that ranges from accommodation to eating joints…from history to the offbeat....

No one is disputing the awesome capabilities of this new iPad Pro. What I am disputing, however, is the need to buy one. At $649, its starting price is higher than ever before for an iPad Pro in this size range. That price, once you factor in an Apple Pencil and/or Smart Keyboard, enters full-on laptop territory. That’s okay for some, but I suspect you’re questioning whether you can get an iPad Pro that has more bang for your buck....

Spotlight is also very fast. But that’s because it’s good at pre-indexing files. This helps Spotlight return searches a lot faster than it would if it literally searched your whole computer every time you typed something in. But this index building can sometimes go haywire and turn your Mac into an unusable piece of aluminum slab. Some users are reporting issues like Spotlight filling up the entire storage drive with bogus index files or basically bringing the whole system to a standstill....

Surely it was one of the best PDF readers and most of us, including me, liked it but as time passed Acrobat Reader lost its charm. No doubt many new features were introduced as the years progressed but it lost its simplicity, became sluggish to use and, mostly, became just annoying. Some nice free alternatives to Adobe PDF Reader have emerged in the past few years, and Nitro PDF Reader is one of them....

So it seems only fair that we pit these two devices against each other and see which one has a better worth for your money. Please note that in this post, we have compared the 4GB variant of the Moto G5 Plus. Design The Galaxy J7 sports a 5.7-inch display with an all-metal unibody design and squarish corners. Upfront you’ll find the fingerprint sensor which also functions both as the home button....

So we have two high-end smartphones from the same makers launched in the same year. So, it seems only natural that we pit both the devices against each other and see which one has better worth for your money. As you might already know, both the Galaxy Note8 and the Galaxy S8 sports the edge-to-edge infinity display and is powered by the same processor. So, where’s the difference? Well, there is quite a handful of them when you look under the hood (and above, as well)....

At first glance, the Snapdragon 625, 626 and 630 don’t seem to be much different from one another. To be precise, this holds (almost) true for the first two chips. The newest Snapdragon 630, on the other hand, does boast some significant upgrades. So, let’s dive into the individual specs of the three SoCs first. Snapdragon 625 Specifications Manufacturing Process: 14 nanometreArchitecture: 64-bitCPU: 8 x ARM Cortex-A53 Up to 2....

Just try a search on GTD (Getting Things Done) and productivity. You will get thousand and one apps that promise to make one of the simplest of life tasks simpler. But why look through all those search results when you have a powerful (and simple) to-do list organizer in Google Tasks. Google Tasks lives in the shadow of its other product brethren’s, but if used effectively it could almost become an indispensable tool just like Google Search and Gmail....

So, without further ado, let’s check them out! 1. Setup the Face Unlock The Face Unlock feature of the OnePlus 6 is not only blazing fast but is a convenient method of getting past the security gate of your phone....

However, many videos are surfacing on YouTube that seem to suggest the iPhone 7 is far more capable in water than that. Apple doesn’t encourage swimming with your iPhone and also does not cover water damage in the warranty, yet some users are finding swimming around is a perfect doable task for the new iPhone. I’ve put together a collection of videos with users testing iPhone 7’s water resistance far beyond its official limits....

There is a very popular saying: what gets measured gets managed. With this thought in mind, I have been dabbling with time tracking apps for the last couple of weeks. There is Toggl, a popular time tracking app that is used by individuals and solopreneurs alike. On the other hand, we have Harvest which is equally popular and feature rich. Get Toggl Get Harvest Let’s see what they have to offer....

1. Turn Your Echo Show into a Digital Photo Frame Yep, you read that right. You can easily turn your Echo Show into a digital photo frame. This one works by pulling photos from your Facebook or Prime Photos and playing them in a slideshow. To link the account, go to Settings of your Alexa app and select Settings > Photos and tap on Link my account. Now, tap on the Home button, and you’ll see a nice slideshow of your photos....

So today we will have a look at top 10 OnePlus tips, tricks, and features to help you get the most out of your device. As most of these features are related to Oxygen OS, folks on other variants of OnePlus devices can use them too. Let’s have a look. 1. Modify Home Screen Layout OnePlus 3 is powered by the Oxygen OS Launcher and when you swipe to the extreme left you get the Shelf View where you can pin the most used contacts, apps, and other widgets....

A poor network connection, incorrectly configured settings, and app glitches are just a few reasons why the Mail app may interrupt you with such errors. If you can’t pinpoint the exact cause, work your way through the troubleshooting tips below to get rid of this pesky error. 1. Use a Secure Network Connection The Mail app may fail to verify the server identity if you’re on a public (less secure) network....

Microsoft is expected to combine both the Microsoft 365 OneNote and the native OneNote app with a single central OneNote experience in the future. But as of now, we are stuck with two OneNote apps. Note: The screenshots below are from the latest Windows 11 OS. You can use the same steps on Windows 10 and fix the issue where OneNote is not opening on Windows. 1. Completely Close OneNote and Reopen Microsoft offers a quick-note feature on OneNote and keeps running the app in the background....

We will start the troubleshooting guide with simple solutions like compatibility issues and reboot followed by resetting various things. Let’s get started. 1. Check Device and Network Support Wi-Fi calling won’t work if your cellular network provider doesn’t offer it in your area. Similarly, your cellular provider should also support your Android phone. For instance, my network provider doesn’t offer Wi-Fi calling on my Pixel 2 XL. So check for device and network support....
