Hulu on Apple TV Just fire up your Apple TV, and you will see the Hulu Plus icon on the main screen. If you don’t see it, restart your Apple TV, and it should show up after it reboots. If you’ve used Hulu Plus on another set-top box like the Sony SMP-N200 or Roku, the user interface will be familiar. But, of course, in typical Apple fashion, the UI is a lot more beautiful....
Life Without a Laptop Battery I had a laptop that had a faulty battery, so I removed the battery and continued to use the laptop on AC power, as it rarely left the house. The fact that it seldom left the house made me give up on the idea of buying a new battery for it. It’s mainly being used as a desktop replacement. Did it affect the computer performance or harm it in any way?...

Since you’ll probably want the album to play on any of your devices or desktop software players. Change Import Using to MP3 Encoder from the dropdown menu....

Microsoft’s Movies & TV Needs Movies Anywhere The problem is not adding any of your purchased Microsoft movies to the Movies Anywhere service. Recently I was able to get a great deal on X-men Apocalypse on Google Play. It was cheaper to buy than any of the other services. So, after I bought it, with Movies Anywhere, it shows up in my movie collection on all devices — Apple TV, Fire TV, etc....
Why We Take Off Our Shoes in the United States but not in Israel Anyone who’s flown in the United States knows about TSA security. We take off our coats, avoid liquids, and take off our shoes before going through security. We have a no-fly list based on names. These are reactions to specific threats. That’s not the way a country like Israel does security. I haven’t flown El-Al (Israel’s national airline), but friends tell me about the interviews they go through in security....
Customize What You Have In the Alexa app on your mobile device or the web version, head to Settings. Scroll down to Flash Briefing and see what’s already there. Everything will be turned on, and you’ll get just the basics unless you’ve configured it. If you think you’d like a briefing in the future, but not now, just toggle it off. If you want to permanently disable a Flash Briefing skill, you’ll need to head to the Skills section in the app and tap Your Skills....
Sony Shutting Down PlayStation Vue However, even after price hikes across the board for all subscribers, Sony couldn’t make the service cost-effective. It continued to lose subscribers and had difficulty competing with similar services such as Sling TV and others. And by putting “PlayStation” in the name, most people (and potential new customers) thought it was limited to the PlayStation console only. But you didn’t need to own a PlayStation at all....
While automatic updates will keep your system up to date, the process can be frustrating. Occasionally, a restart will be required to apply the update, interrupting your workflow in the process. An automatic update can also stop your PC from working correctly, forcing you to try and troubleshoot the issue. Keeping your system updated is important, but if you’re having trouble, you might want to stop automatic updates on Windows 11....
What Is It? Vantage focuses on making your schedule look cool. It doesn’t offer any features beyond visualization. It reads and syncs with the calendar data already on your iOS device. I have dozens of calendars from both iCloud and Google accounts, and Vantage read them just fine. The interface uses stacks and scrollers to let you see your day and multiple weeks at a time. Apple’s built-in calendar app does a terrible job of moving from day to day, so this is a nice upgrade....
But the good news is that VLC is now available for all Windows Phone users in the Windows Phone store. It works with Windows Phone 8.1, which everyone should have by now. If you don’t have it for some odd reason, make sure to read our article on how to get it and other updates early by joining the Preview for Developers program. VLC for Windows Phone 8.1 is lightweight and, just like other platforms, will play all video and audio compression formats for files you have stored on the phone or phone’s SD card....
This happened to me with my older iPad Mini after upgrading to iOS 11. When I open Settings, you can see the iPad Storage Full warning, and to free up space, you need to tap Manage Storage. Then you will see a breakdown of the type of data taking up space on your device. It is divided into categories that are self-explanatory, like Apps, Books, and Photos. But what is the “Other” category, and why is it taking up so much space?...
Before you dive into Slack Connect, let’s take a deeper look at how it works, who can use it, and if it’s a free service. What is Slack Connect? Slack Connect gives you a terrific way to chat with clients, customers, vendors, and others who normally require a different application. So, if you’re used to communicating via email or some other chat tool, you can hang up those apps and use Slack....
Snapchat from a Teen’s Perspective At first, I was disappointed with what I found. Most of it was people ranting about their lives or posting family pictures. At the time, however, it was all I knew how to use, having just entered the world of social media. As I got older, I uncovered other means to connect with my friends. Things like Instagram and Tumblr. Eventually, I came across Snapchat. Initially, I believed Snapchat to be something I shouldn’t touch....

No matter the problem, you might experience Windows 11 Mail not working. If so, here are seven fixes you can use to get it back up and running.

The released code can be installed either as a new install or an upgrade to WSUS 3.0 SP1. The upgrade from WSUS 3.0 to WSUS 3.0 SP1 was very painless, so I decided to go ahead and upgrade my home WSUS server to SP2, skipping the testing I would usually go through. This shortcut will be an excellent test before I look at upgrade work tomorrow. WSUS 3.0 SP2 Release The release notes appear to add some nice new features to the Free Microsoft Patching Service, specifically support for their new OS’s Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7: Ok....
Why buy a floundering former search giant? The answer is: Ma has a mobile OS, now the second rev of a Tegra2 based smartphone and, reportedly, a cloud-based tablet due in November. The goal, and we’re not taking a huge leap here, would be to transform Yahoo into a global company, ala Google, that does hardware, software, operating systems, e-commerce, you name it. I suppose a social network is next....
