I believe the reason people are okay with spending several thousand dollars on a Mac laptop is because they feel that they are entering a new lifestyle, atmosphere. People who put a Mac laptop up against a Windows one somewhat missed the whole point of both systems. Apple’s entire goal with their products is to get you into an ecosystem that drives you to their other products. There’s not another company out there that integrates so well with their liked products. If you own an iPhone and start to get a call or text message, the notification will make its…

I may not travel that often, but what I always like to have with me is music. At home, at work, in the car, on the plane, everywhere we go we often bring along our songs as it helps pass away the time. Sometimes it can be a tossup between headphones or earbuds, but often I choose headphones because they are more comfortable, easier to use, and sound so much better. With so many to choose from and which ones may be a good buy or not, it can be a tough feat to find the best one. Luckily, there…
According to the Steam Hardware survey for April 2018, Intel holds 84% of the market share amongst Steam gamers; AMD is in second with a mere 16%. Oddly enough, these numbers also represent the global market share of consumer processors. Over the past few years, Intel has maintained its position as the top manufacturer of consumer processors. When AMD went quiet a few years back, Intel continued their yearly processor releases and users kept shunning AMD processors as they lost faith in the AMD brand. When AMD came back with their new AM4 and Ryzen processors, it was already too…
In today’s digital world, it’s nearly impossible to avoid malware from attacking your personal computer. Even those with experienced technical backgrounds find themselves victim to a malicious attack on their primary computer. Email phishing, malicious advertisements on legitimate websites, or Trojan inclusions within downloads are all possible payloads that malware can take hold of your computer and turn your life upside down. All malware is different, but it all has a primary goal: to take over your machine for a hacker’s personal objective. This can be for the hacker to gain access to your files, spy on you, demand money,…
TeamViewer is a remote-desktop sharing application for both Windows and Mac computers. By establishing an encrypted internet connection between a host computer and the connecter, TeamViewer will allow either yourself or a remote person access the host computer through the internet. For security, TeamViewer requires the connecter to receive a unique user ID and password from the host computer before a connection can be established. Without these two pieces from the host computer, the connecter may never connect. It is important that you only provide your user ID and password to those you know or to trusted American service technicians.…
Often, people find it strange that I don’t enjoy superhero movies. Superman, Batman, Avengers, and the rest aren’t what I normally enjoy in a movie. My favorites are more Sc-fi or storytelling focused ones. With that said, what I do find interesting is seeing what goes on behind the scenes in superhero movies. As cool as it is to see explosions and the heroes running over the tops of cars through the city, the reality of it is that almost everything shown in movies nowadays is green-screened. Behind the scenes of making a movie relies on the actors jumping from…
If we are honest with ourselves, when we are building a new computer and choosing the processor, graphics card, and motherboard, the type of cooling fans we plan on using inside the computer case is a complete afterthought. Every CPU cooler, every computer case, and every graphics card will come with its own fans so, it would be understandable if during the researching of computer parts followed by our checkout that we forget about cooling the expensive computer equipment. Even for someone, such as myself, who lives and breaths this sort of tech, in my Qwerty Articles Recommended Building Guide,…
My favorite social media website is Instagram. It’s straightforward content where I can see a bunch of stunning and exciting looking photos. It’s not cluttered or overwhelming, and it’s focused towards my friends rather than news and videos as Facebook is. The biggest push for Instagram is their photo filters where you can turn an everyday photo into a stunning professional shot. However, the best experience is when you post a picture on Instagram, and it turns out better than it would with a filter. The #NoFilter trend is always nice to see because it means what you are seeing…

We’ve all been there; we want to take a big group photo, so we have to find someone to take our group picture or set a timer on the camera for the picture taker to run quickly to make it into the camera shot. Or have you ever been to a beach or beautiful landmark and wanted to capture the entire view? Smartphone cameras have come a long way in recent years with a lot of flagship phones now making the camera the selling point of the phone. They can snap accurate and clear pictures, record smooth and clean video,…
