You’re out at your favorite coffee shop, and you suddenly need to be in a meeting. There’s Wi-Fi (or failing that, you can set up a hotspot on your phone), so you think you’re ready to rock. However, within seconds of starting the meeting, everyone starts to look like they’re made of Lego in the video. The frustration sets in, and things start to go downhill. Also: Best internet speed test: Test your connection Yeah, you might have had an internet connection, but you didn’t have a good internet connection....

Those (often) impromptu meetings can do a lot of good. Maybe one of you comes up with a brilliant idea that your other workers (or family members) build on. Or maybe it’s just the camaraderie of interaction. Whatever positivity comes out of those little gatherings, it’s impossible not to recognize their value. But as more and more people work remotely or are too busy to make their way to the break room, what can you do?...

Well, that’s what Hyperice claims, so I put it to the test. As a retired professional ice hockey player for Team Korea, I still like to hit the gym at least a few times every week. I usually split my gym workouts into a warm-up walk and run combo, and then head over to the dumbbells or squat rack. Most of the workouts I do are a combination of my old routines and college hockey days....

This was a big day, and it required more self-control than I feared I could muster. I make the assumption, you see, that all the big web brands follow me around. They know everything about me. They know what I like, what I like to eat and even what I like to do when I’m not actually clutching one gadget or another. I gingerly squinted. Yet when I opened my eyes slightly wider, I felt odd....

For the past several months, I’ve been using an Insta360 One X2 camera that serves as both an action camera and a 360 camera so you can capture the world around you in several ways and share that with others who are unable to explore in the same way. I spent time running, hiking, biking, walking, and viewing a Formula 1 race with the Insta360 One X2 and it did not disappoint....

So, will your next iPhone be a satellite phone? First off, let’s backtrack a few steps and ask ourselves if this is really going to be satellite communication....

Also: My idea for a beginner-friendly Linux distribution However, there are days when I miss the elegance and simplicity of the Elementary OS desktop distribution. Elementary OS is as elegant a desktop OS as you’ll ever find. With the slightest inspiration taken from the MacOS interface, Elementary OS uses the Pantheon desktop to create an interface (Figure 1) that absolutely anyone can use. What makes Elementary OS so user-friendly? First and foremost, Elementary OS is based on Ubuntu Linux, which means it uses the apt package manager....

Chairman Bennie Thompson said in a statement that the subpoenas were issued due to “inadequate responses to prior requests for information.” The subpoenas related to “the spread of misinformation, efforts to overturn the 2020 election, domestic violent extremism, and foreign influence in the 2020 election.” “Two key questions for the Select Committee are how the spread of misinformation and violent extremism contributed to the violent attack on our democracy, and what steps – if any – social media companies took to prevent their platforms from being breeding grounds for radicalizing people to violence,” Thompson said....
