There's Finally a Way to Silence Spam Calls on WhatsApp

WhatsApp’s VoIP calls are fast, free, and often better than old-fashioned cellular calls (given your wifi is strong enough). In some parts of the world, it’s even become the default way to call people. With all that popularity, though, comes a spam call epidemic. Whether you rely on WhatsApp or your traditional phone…

How to Download All Your Media From Google Photos

Image
Cloud storage has changed the way we take care of our data. In the past, you needed to backup and transfer files between devices directly, or else you wouldn't have them in multiple locations. If you took photos on your iPhone or Android, for example, you'd often want to plug it into your computer to make sure those photos were both backed up and easily accessible for sharing with friends, family, and the internet at large. The problem is, we've changed the way we deal with data these days. If you plug your smartphone into your computer expecting to transfer all the photos and videos you see in your photos app of choice, you might be surprised to find that only a fraction of the images actually make their way to your PC. It's confusing, considering that media is accessible on the phone: Why can it just be a seamless transfer? Google Photos makes it confusing to know which images are stored on-device That's exactly what happened with Reddit user Spax123 , who took...

The Best U.S. Cities for Tech Jobs (Aside From the Obvious)

Image
Working in tech no longer means having to live in one of a handful of increasingly unaffordable cities, like New York City, Seattle, Chicago, and San Francisco. Instead, as jobs involving artificial intelligence and product security, among other areas, continue to grow, cities that weren't previously considered tech hubs now offer opportunities for both tech-related employment and affordable living. Here are a few examples, compiled using data from job market reports and cities, as well as input from tech recruiters and hiring managers. Bentonville, Arkansas Perhaps best known for being Walmart's home city, Bentonville has been on the rise as a tech center for the last seven or eight years, according to Eóin O'Toole, a tech recruiter and managing partner at Riviera Partners . In addition to the big-box store giant, O'Toole says that there's a "surging ecosystem both directly and indirectly related to Walmart," as well as other major employers, like JB H...

Are 8K TVs Worth It in 2024?

Image
Buying a television is an overwhelming experience: the sheer number of models combined with the various ways companies describe similar technologies ( OLED versus QLED , microLED versus miniLED) is enough to make your head spin. One of the most important decisions you'll likely make regarding a television is the image quality. Right now, that means choosing between 4K and 8K. So, is it worth it to get an 8K television in 2024? For some people, yes—but it's not for everyone just yet. When you can get it, 8K content is truly stunning When I first set up an 8K TV in my home (a 65-inch model loaned to me by Samsung for a review coming later this week), I spent a solid week acting like a 5-year-old at Disneyland; I was absolutely awestruck by the detail and dimension of that many pixels shoved into such a small space. ( It's about 33 million pixels , by the way, compared to the roughly 8.3 million pixels on 4K TVs .) Once the initial excitement wore off, I was desperate to s...
