Just prior to the official launch of the iPhone, T-Mobile issued a carrier update to enable LTE, improve battery performance and add Visual Voicemail support . The only problem is that some users were reporting slower speeds after the update. TmoNews reports that two well known cellular programmers, @joe012594 & @cooldayr2, have successfully modified the carrier update to “increase the amount of bandwidth allowing for better throughput of data and data connection....

When the folks over at The Human Solution saw my prior standing desk and standing desk treadmill review, they asked me if I’d like to take one of their Uplift adjustable-height desks for a spin. Since I was already in the midst of researching a new dedicated unboxing/review desk for videos, I agreed to take a look. Have a look at our hands-on build video for the details. The Uplift Desk website lets users build their own desk via its desk selector tool, and so I took the opportunity to put together a desk that I felt would be great for unboxings and reviews....

When it comes to craft recipes, including gates, fences, and a plethora of other things in Stardew Valley, hardwood becomes quite an essential part. What if it’s not an ordinary wood but hardwood? Typically, you cannot obtain ample hardwood merely by cutting down the trees available in your farm. Therefore, you need some other methods to get the hardwood. Hardwood is not like wood but a way stronger than wood along with epitome level of beauty....

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix sees the good side of the magical world begin to stand up for itself and prepare for the war ahead. With the Order itself once again making itself known, and Harry growing Dumbledore’s Army, this has become a very popular movie. As with every Harry Potter film, this one is packed with some fantastic details that bring the words of J.K. Rowling to life in the most magical way possible....

Remus Lupin was Harry’s favorite Hogwarts professor in the Harry Potter series. This is because he was not only one of the best teachers the school had ever seen, but also because he was one of the most caring. Unlike many Hogwarts professors, Lupin would address each of his students by their first name as opposed to their last. He also made an effort to get to know them on a human level, in order to connect with them....

Based on the popular Gears of War franchise, newly released turn-based strategy game Gears Tactics has already run into several issues on Windows. The game was available for download from Steam on April 28. However, in the last few days, new issues with gameplay and audio have popped up in the game. Several users have complained that the in-game audio stops working after launching Gears Tactics on Windows. Some say that the issue could be due to the latest Windows update, and others say it could be something to do with the game itself....

Update: Gazelle has announced an extended 50-day price lock window. That will give you until October 15th to send your iPhone in, but you’ll have to lock in your price before Apple’s September 10th event to take advantage. With the unveiling of a next-generation iPhone expected on September 10th, it’s once again time to start thinking about trade-in options for your current device. While iPhones typically hold their resale value much better than competing devices, previous iPhone models historically experience a big drop in trade-in value in the 3-4 weeks leading up to an iPhone announcement....

Glee remains a popular series years after its finale because as fans we find ourselves identifying with the characters in the glee club. We can see our high school selves in these characters because they are all just as lost as we once were. Whether we identify with the overly ambitious Rachel Berry or the top of the pyramid Quinn Fabray, the series proves that there are multiple sides to these archetypal characters and everything is not always what it seems....

Right up until the end of last year, the US led the global smart speaker market, accounting for more sales than any other country in the world – and even outselling all other countries combined with the exception of China. But that changed dramatically in the first quarter of this year, according to Canalys data … That means that China now accounts for more than half of the global smart speaker market, at 51%....

Godzilla: King of the Monsters suggests that Ghidorah wasn’t the only dragon in Legendary’s MonsterVerse. In fact, there could actually be six of them in shared universe. At the beginning of King of the Monsters, 17 Titans were confirmed to exist in the MonsterVerse. Not all were shown, but their names were featured on a monitor screen during the movie. Five of the Titans - Godzilla, Rodan, King Ghidorah, Mothra, and King Kong - are all major players in the MonsterVerse and characters with long histories in giant monster movies....

There are only a couple of catches: Free storage is limited to “high quality” photos and videos, rather than the full resolution of your original. This means 14 MP for pictures and 1080p for videos. In my opinion, this is fine. These are snapshots on your iPhone, not professional wedding photographs. And truly, this is far better quality than whatever digital photos you were taking five years ago.The usual privacy concerns about handing over thousands of photos and videos of you and your loved ones to another company, replete with geotagging info and face tags....

Google has updated Hangouts for iOS today with a handful of new features and what it says is an overall improved user experience. You’ll notice some UI tweaks throughout, like a new menu button in the contact list and a button for quickly starting new conversations. In addition, chat bubbles get a refreshed look, as does the UI for video chat (pictured above). Also new is the ability to attach and send multiple photos at the same time....

The second most important resource within Grand Theft Auto: Online is the acquisition of RP through completing missions or performing given tasks. RP is GTA Online’s equivalent of experience points. They allow for a player to level up and acquire access to a variation of locked weapons and other items in the game. Behind money, RP and leveling up a player’s character is the most important task a new player should focus on....

Over the last few months, a growing number of iPhone X users have taken to Apple’s support forums and Reddit to complain of cracked camera lenses. Furthermore, affected users say that Apple won’t replace the device under warranty, instead charging for a full device replacement… While it’s easy to assume that the cracked camera lenses come thanks to the device having been dropped, the users here claim to have never dropped their iPhone X....

Microsoft and Halo developer 343 Industries have finally begun spilling a few beans on what awaits fans in the Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s PC release, as well as cross-play and Xbox Play Anywhere details for the collection. Despite being somewhat low-key in recent years, Halo looks to be coming back in a big way in 2019. Microsoft was keen to confirm that Master Chief would finally be returning to PC, before also announcing that the long-absent Halo: Reach will be joining the MCC lineup eventually too....

The Harry Potter book and film series is one of the most thrilling, entertaining, and beloved fictional franchises in the world. And not without reason. Harry Potter is a brilliant tale of the power of love and friendship, and watching young Harry fight against the most dangerous and powerful dark wizard who ever lived was a thrill ride from start to finish. However, there were moments in the Harry Potter saga that didn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense....

A lot of people like to think of Hufflepuff house as the house for all of the left over students who don’t fit into any of the other houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But that’s only because Helga Hufflepuff believed that any student, no matter their skill or natural disposition, deserved an education. The ideals that Hufflepuffs actually aspire to are fairness, loyalty, hard work, and most of all kindness....

Fans were in for a shock today when Harry Potter star Matthew Lewis took to Twitter with some news that wasn’t exactly what it seemed. In what seemed like some astonishing news about an upcoming film, the actor tricked followers with news that, much to the disappointment of Harry Potter fans, turned out to be fake. The actor is best known for playing Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter film franchise based around the works of author JK Rowling....
