While there is no shortage of to-do lists or note taking apps on the App Store, it isn’t always easy to jump from one app to another and still stay productive. NoteSuite features note taking, task management, PDF viewing and annotation, and Office document management all in a single app, creating one digital briefcase of sorts. I had the chance to meet Peter Tamte of Theory.io during WWDC week in San Francisco and see a preview of NoteSuite in person....

One feature iPhones are famous for is their iMessage and Facetime services. Facetime particularly works flawlessly, and you can also conduct group video calls. However, there are times when you might want to pause Facetime on iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. But with the recent update, iOS now supports picture in picture mode. So even if you press home screen, facetime will still be one showing your camera footage even if you don’t want to....

Many players have complained that the Nintendo Switch dock is not working and it won’t connect to the TV. Don’t jump to conclusions that the gaming console has faulty components because it could be a minor issue. The dock station is cleverly implemented, so it can push 60 fps on a 1080p television. The console engineers have developed the technology with the combination of multiple connectors such as HDMI and charging connectors....

NIST 800-171, a cybersecurity framework of 110 controls published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is growing in importance and mandatory for some manufacturers contracting with the government. If you’re looking to break into cybersecurity and you’re policy-oriented, this path is a ticket to a lucrative career. If you’re already defending against cyber threats, NIST 800-171 will significantly increase your success. “Nothing’s foolproof,” states Dave Hatter, with perspective garnered over 30 years as an IT veteran....

Z Launcher from Nokia for Android Nokia’s Z Launcher plans on completely changing the way you interact with your Android device and make it easier and faster to access what you want. Nokia says the launcher is optimized to work on select devices including — Nexus 5, Galaxy S5, S4, S3, Moto X, HTC One and Sony Xperia Z1. Optimized is subjective though.

Well, previously we have seen Nvidia unveiled a new graphic card Geforce GTX 1080 Ti which they claimed as the “fastest gaming CPU” ever made. Now, the company is back again with Titan Xp. Nvidia Titan XP is based on Nvidia’s pascal architecture and features full-fat Pascal GP102 GPU, with all 3,840 CUDA cores running at 1.6Ghz, which is higher compared to previously released GTX 1080 Ti. As reported by Ars Technica “The amount of memory stays the same at 12GB of GDDR5X RAM; the 384-bit memory bus width returns, too....

First introduced back at CES this past January, Nvidia’s GeForce Now for Mac is available in beta. This service from Nvidia allows Mac users to access PC-only games and offers up strong performance, especially for less powerful Macs. Nvidia’s streaming service GeForce Now first debuted a couple of years ago with the company’s Android tablet, then expanded to its set-top box last year. Now, the service has been expanded to support Macs....

Arm has a variety of customer types. Some, like Apple, Qualcomm, and Nvidia itself, use only Arm’s instructions sets, rules, and documentation to design their own processors so that their cores will run software written for Arm. Apple has its designs fabricated by manufacturing specialists such as TSMC and Samsung and puts those processors in its own products. Qualcomm has various fabricators that make chips for system vendors to use....

It has been almost a year since NVIDIA initially launched their mobile gaming console, the Shield, so it would make sense that the company is looking to replace it with a new device. According to the Global Certification Forum (GCF), that device could be right around the corner, and feature a unique design all its own. Indeed, the design for the original Shield from NVIDIA was unique in its own way, combining the design of a video game console’s controller and attaching a small display to the top of it, so that you could game from essentially anywhere (eventually, thanks to software updates)....

At the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Nvidia unveiled the SHIELD — the world’s 4K Android TV console. The set-top box is powered by the company’s latest Tegra X1 mobile superchip, and features an H.265 decoder that can playback 4K videos at 60Hz with 10-bit video processing. The company boasts that the 256-core Maxwell GPU inside the Tegra X1 is twice as fast as the Xbox 360 while consuming anywhere between 1/5th to 1/20th of the power....

New York City’s subway began adding support for contactless payments in May 2019, but since then, only a few selected lines have received the technology. However, New York’s MTA announced today that everyone can now finally use Apple Pay and other contactless payment methods across all its stations. The news was confirmed on MTA’s official Twitter account and also reported by Engadget. For Apple Pay users, this also means that all New York City subway lines now work with the Express Transit feature, which allows you to simply tap your iPhone or Apple Watch over a turnstile to access the subway instead of buying a regular ticket....

Update: The SFPD has given Cnet a full statement: Earlier today, SF Weekly reported that a Bernan Heights man claimed Apple posed as police officers to search his house for the missing iPhone 5. SFWeekly is now reporting that their earlier report had some incorrect points, and that the San Francisco Police Department did assist Apple. The Apple employees did not want to make an official report of the lost item....

While Apple will unveil a pair of next-generation iPhones at its September 9th event, the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, don’t expect a new 4-inch “iPhone 6c” to show up on stage. Sources say that while Apple has been working on a new 4-inch iPhone with the capabilities of last year’s iPhone 6, the device is not yet ready to ship. Interestingly, Apple has also internally prototyped a new, smaller iPhone with a 3....

In my opinion, the most important selling point of the Nothing phone (1) is its appearance rather than its features. The brand is positioning this Phone as the antithesis to stand out from all the other copycat models. You can see all the innards through the back of the case (just make sure you use a transparent case). Its debut earphones followed a similar approach, and those Nothing Ear (1) earbuds are among our favorite alternatives to AirPods Pro....

On the front, there’s a 6-inch Full HD+ screen with an aspect ratio of 18:9. Like the Black Shark, the Red Magic also has a dedicated hardware key for enabling a high-performance mode. The rear, in addition to the fingerprint sensor, also houses a 24-megapixel f/1....

Goggles from Facebook’s Oculus unit have improved over the years, but the latest, the Meta Quest 2 model, is still not something most people want to wear around town. Glasses from Vuzix may come closer to being fashion statements, but their display capability is primitive and not anything a person wants to gaze at for extending lengths of time. Fear not, though, help may be on the way. Nvidia, with help from Stanford University, last month proposed what it calls Holographic Glasses, a prototype of which is just a tenth of an inch thick and weighs sixty grams, and can fit in normal glasses-like frames....
