    Phones Moved to Pixel after 16 years on iPhone

    After 16 years on every (or alternate year) iPhone, I recently took the decision of moving everything to Google Cloud and Google Pixel. The first reason was the painfully slow iCloud sync with files and photos, the second being the behaviour of the staff at Apple Store, Saket (careless, rude...

    USBC flash drive, storing footage from iPhone or Android phone?

    If one cannot use GDrive to store the footage taken from his Android phone, would a USBC flash drive be appropriate to do so? The fact that its a USBC flash drive, does that mean that it could also be used to store photos from an Apple iPhone?

    Airpods compatible with Android/Ipad Pro

    I have a Pixel 7 phone and an Ipad Pro. I read that with an Airpod I won't be able to use all the functions on my phone but I also have an Ipad Pro so I guess it won't be a problem with it. You may wonder why do I need an Airpod since I have an Android phone? Because then I will get 3 months of...

    How do you turn on RCS messaging in iOS 18?

    I have an iPhone 13 mini and was happy to hear that Apple will finally support RCS with iOS 18. I've been using iOS 18 since release but to my disappointment, I still get green bubbles with non iOS users, and I assume, I'm still getting billed for every single SMS. So what's up with this? I...

    Theory: Apple + Disney = Robots

    First off — Apple will never buy Disney because it doesn't need to. The two companies can be best friends without an acquisition. Some establishing points: Having a personal/family robot sounds excessive and spoiled, but I see it as no different from all the other machines/tools we use to make...

    Samsung recently launched the Galaxy A54 in The Netherlands with sweet trade-in deals and offers. On top of that it received a price cut and it's now a bargain on online marketplaces.
