In this post, we will compare the best two screen-recording apps – AZ Screen Recorder and DU Recorder....

While most people associate apps with mobile OS like Android and iOS, they are developed for desktop operating systems like Windows and web browsers like Chrome and Firefox....

When you spend a considerable amount of time on a particular version of the software, it might be tough to accept a major upgrade.

Today I am going to show you how to downgrade most Samsung devices that got the Lollipop update back to KitKat 4....

Now, I cannot afford to leave my machine on all the time either. That would mean continued power consumption and sucking up of battery life.

That was surprising because the collection happened even when the app was not in used. Still, RunKeeper is popular and comes with a host of features that we will explore below. Get RunKeeper Endomondo, like RunKeeper, tracks a number GPS-based activities including running, cycling, and swimming among others....

The HDR+ mode is really helpful for those who aren’t proficient with manual camera modes since this feature allows them to cross over to this area easily. However, till now, the HDR+ mode has been strictly a Pixel-exclusive feature. The good news is, now this mode can be easily ported to any of the Android flagships, particularly the OnePlus 3/3T, OnePlus 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S8. How to Get HDR+?...

There may be few who would not mind loosing a few MBs of hard disk space to redundant data, but for folks like me who would rather get rid of old and useless data instead of having them take up storage space, I have found a simple solution to remove the older Chrome versions.

The shift usually happens due to the page loading some content after you have gained access to the page — like an image or an advertisement graphic maybe. Engineers at Google seem to have been irritated by this fact, as were the users, and have finally fixed the issue of page jumps. Google has now introduced a ‘scroll lock anchor’ which ensures that page loading doesn’t affect what the user is reading or watching — preventing any page jumps from happening and locking the content on the device....

And you can choose to use any one of them that suits your style and taste — basically related to how you wish to receive and organise the emails. Google offers its Gmail users two ways to organise and read their emails — the classic ‘Priority’ inbox and the new-age ‘Default’ inbox which makes use of multiple tabs segregating Primary/Social/Promotion emails. What’s the Difference? When using ‘Priority’ inbox only shows read and unread emails — which can be further sorted by metrics like ‘important’ and ‘starred’ — on a desktop and separates all emails from the important ones which are marked as ‘Priority’ on the Gmail app....

Devices then had to be plugged into iTunes to try updating once more, but more problems ensued there.
