The most expensive of these was the Xperia 1 IV, a flagship handset in almost every sense of the word. While the compact Xperia 5 IV and mid-range Xperia 10 IV launched in the same year, the high-end phone is our focus here. Cameras are the priority, with a variable focus length telephoto that delivers optical zoom from 3.5-5.2x. It’s joined by an upgraded selfie camera, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 4K OLED display and a 5,000mAh battery....

This is the first inkjet to enable Near Field Communication (NFC) and it’s been released alongside the similarly NFC-friendly A3 version, the MFC-J6920DW. The advantage of using NFC is that you don’t need a wireless connection for a device to ‘speak’ to the printer as it relies on the same short-range transmission as contactless payment via a mobile. But the NFC facility is only there to help set up a wireless connection over Wi-Fi....

Finalmente se desveló con la temporada final en 2012 pero, por si quieres verla antes de ver el nuevo reboot de la mítica serie, no lo vamos a desvelar aquí. Solo diremos una cosa: no te lo esperas y no te lo podrás creer. Literalmente. A mediados de 2019, conocíamos los planes la vuelta de Gossip Girl. Pese a tratarse de una continuación de la serie protagonizada por Blake Lively y Leighton Meester, estas no retomaron sus recordados papeles....

The Java code, it is opening up an HTTP connection, connecting through the proxy (you can comment it out if you are not using any proxy in your environment), sending the appropriate XML to invoke a remote method, and then reading the XML response returned by the server. SOAP with Request XML /* Call SOAP URL and send the Request XML and Get Response XML back */ import java.io.BufferedReader; import java....

And for your kids who are using tablets – or even phones – the number of apps they can use to safely message each other is very limited. iMessage is perhaps the best ‘safe’ app for instant messaging, but it only works on Apple devices, so it’s no good if your kids – or their friends – don’t have one. A cross-platform alternative to both iMessage and Messenger is Xooloo Messenger....

A relatively modest overclock from 3.2GHz up to 4.3GHz sees the Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition processor running at a slower speed than we typically see from gaming PCs, and this is reflected in correspondingly lower results in some our application-based PC Mark tests. However, this less ambitious overclock allows the Fusion Spartacus to run considerably cooler and quieter then its rivals, with the CPU reaching a maximum temperature of only 75 degrees....

Find out how well the EXO AC2600 stands up to scrutiny in our full review below. Note: There is no ADSL / VSDL modem version of the EXO AC2600. So if you get your broadband via ADSL and are planning to replace your ISP router, this may not be the best choice. You can, however, connect the AC2600 to your existing router and use the modem in that, but it’s more convenient to simply choose an ADSL router....

With Wi-Fi 6 fast becoming the standard for home networks, it’s about time that we started seeing cheaper devices hitting the shelves, and the D-Link M15 is very competitively priced. The three-pack – which I was sent for this review – is priced at $119.99 / £179, and promises up to 500 square metres of coverage. Smaller homes with less demanding requirements can likely get away with a 2-pack, which is priced at $99 / £120, and promises 370 square metres of coverage....

Featuring a true edge-to-edge keyboard, tiny display bezel, an invisible haptic touchpad, and capacitive function keys, it’s a bold new aesthetic that largely pays off. But can Dell maintain its admirable reputation and produce an ultrabook that performs as well as it looks? The Dell XPS line has always been hot on performance (and often just plain hot), so we won’t consider it job done unless the new XPS 13 Plus is as competitive in use as it is easy on the eye....

Powerline is a neat technology that uses the power cables in your home to create a home network, as if you had Ethernet cables snaked through your house. This means you can enjoy much faster download times in your living room, for example, compared to using a ropy Wi-Fi connection that’s shared by everyone else in the house. See Best Powerline Adapters. Powerline adapters are simple to set up. Plug one adapter into a power socket near your router, and then connect adapter and router with an Ethernet cable; then plug a second Powerline adapter into another room’s wall socket and connect that to the device you wish to have fast Internet access, such as your TV or streamer....

See also; Best NAS drives Even if you already have a Freeview set-top box, the TV Butler should appeal. Once connected to a USB port on your NAS drive it will let you record shows and then watch them on your TV, phone, tablet or computer. You can also download the videos to your phone and watch them offline, or stream them remotely over your broadband connection. The theory sounds good, but in practice, the TV Butler is a device that only hard-core techies will be able to set up and use....

It’s the cheapest wristband Fitbit with a proper display and on-wrist notifications (Caller ID, texts) but you might want to consider spening the £30/$20 more for the more-able Fitbit Alta HR, which adds a great heart-rate monitor – useful for more insight into your exercise and sleep quality. Both the Alta and HR are fashionable with a lot of dress-up accessories but are still serious pieces of fitness kit that will help you improve your health both active and asleep....

Whether you’re an experienced Windows user or a complete novice, it’s not nice to get a blue screen of death. This means your PC or laptop system has crashed in dramatic fashion. Sometimes a simple reboot will fix the problem but sometimes things are a little more complicated. Various error messages may appear when you’re getting BSODs but we’re looking at ones related to ntoskrnl.exe here. This is related to the Windows kernel and isn’t a good sign, especially when you’re getting a BSOD over and over again....
