It’s no exaggeration to say that MP4 is the most popular video format, offering the best balance between quality, size and compatibility. Getting your favourite movies from DVD to MP4 to play on the new iPhone X, iPhone 8 or other devices doesn’t have to be difficult. True, it hasn’t always been easy, as anyone who’s ever had to decrypt the disc with one app then rip and convert it with another will attest, but there is now a better way....

How to Root Moto X 2014 and install TWRP Recovery So in our today’s tutorial, we’ll discuss how to root and install the latest TWRP v3....

Note that there is now a newer model: read our review of the 970 Evo. Samsung 960 Evo 1TB review: Price, competition and price per GB The 960 Evo is cheaper than its counterpart: the 960 Pro. At £404.73 ( $479.99 in the US) the 960 Evo is still expensive versus SATA III SSDs found in the market today – such as the Samsung 850 EVO 1TB at £285.98. NVMe SSDs are still new to the market and their adoption rate has been relatively slow, mainly due to motherboard chipsets very slowly adopting the extreme speeds capable from a storage device....

You can save a few quid compared to the S8 as it’s priced at £649. With the prices very similar, read on to find out which 2017 flagship phone is best for you....
As maker of NAND flash chips, ARM controllers and ultimately some of the best solid-state drives in the business, Samsung is in a privileged position to join the ranks of those brands already making external flash drive. See our group test: What’s the best SSD? The Samsung Portable SSD T1 is its first product in this emerging category – a portable storage drive little bigger than the mSATA card inside, and now with capacity to rival traditional laptop hard disks....
With its sober and business-like cream/charcoal-combination colour scheme, the printer is very much in typical Samsung mould. It can only do a limited amount about improving on the traditionally blocky laser printer design, but rounded edges and a relatively modest footprint help it to melt into the background. It’s a relatively quiet printer, and will happily buzz away on your desk, rather than having to be concealed behind a sound-reducing screen or rubber plant....
Besides being much slower and more fragile than flash storage, another drawback of disk technology is its physical size. These spinning platters make for cumbersome units. Since the rise of the SSD in its now-popular 7mm form, we’ve seen internal notebook hard disks slim down to match, reducing in thickness from 9.5mm to 7mm. Now Seagate has closed the gap again by introducing the Seven, a complete portable hard drive that is itself just 7mm thick....

How to find old Gmail emails: advanced search Sometimes it’s easy to search for an email because you can think of at least one word which will be unique to that email or thread.

In brief, the new subscription service lets you rent a high-spec PC remotely, which you can then access from any PC, Mac, tablet, or phone – or the optional extra Shadow box. You can use that PC to play any of your own PC games – or just, y’know, use it as a PC. It’s up to you. We got the chance to test Shadow out in a briefing ahead of the service’s UK launch, and here’s what we thought....
Sonos Beam: Price and availability When it launched, the Playbar was a pretty expensive £599 and then Sonos went and hiked prices due to the exchange rate between the dollar and pound. It then, and still does, cost £699/$699. That’s more than a lot of TVs on the market so not for the feint hearted. The Playbase, the model that your television sits on top of, has a matching price. Sonos has realised, it seems that not everyone has that much to splash on soundbar so the Beam is a much more reasonable £399/$399....
We weren’t expecting any new phones from Sony for a while considering it launched four in Barcelona last month including the Xperia XZ Premium and Xperia XA1. Nevertheless, the Xperia L1 is here to form a new range of more affordable handsets. Sony Xperia L1 release date and pricing info Now Sony has scrapped the quite sensible naming system for its Xperia phones, we’re still struggling to get our collective heads round the new line-up....
Yup, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will feature multiple heroes donning the Spidey suit, and none of them will be played by Tom Holland, who’s played the character in Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Avengers: Infinity War. That’s because this new film is an entirely animated release, set in its own universe (well, spider-verse, we suppose). We’ve had the chance to see it already, and you can go read our review right now to find out what we thought (spoiler: it’s great) or find out about the film’s post-credit scenes....
As well as swapping the 5.4in Mini model for a 6.7in Plus model, offering the big-screen iPhone experience at a more affordable price point, there’s a big jump in camera tech across the range. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus offer improved low-light photography while the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max boast the first ever 48Mp sensor on an iPhone, with cool camera tech that majorly improves overall performance....
For those unfamiliar with the terminology, SSD stands for solid-state drive, and HDD stands for hard disk drive. They’re the two main choices when it comes to storing data in PCs and laptops, but they’re also used in portable hard drives, NAS drives and CCTV recorders. HDDs Hard drives are the older style of storage used in PCs and laptops which employ spinning magnetic discs to store data. Despite predictions that HDD technology had plateaued and would be quickly phased out, manufacturers have managed to develop hard drives to the point where you can now have as much as 14TB or more in a single 3....
The neat cubic design and quick and easy set-up should also appeal to home users too. Just remember that, like most mesh systems, the Nova does not include a modem for Internet access, so you’ll still need to connect it to the existing modem or router that already provides your broadband connection. Tenda Nova MW6: Price The Nova MW6 is certainly one of the most affordable mesh networking systems we’ve come across, costing around £175/US$199 for a kit that includes three identical routers (that Tenda refers to as ‘mesh points’)....
Hudl 2 vs Nexus 9: UK Price While the Hudl 2 and Nexus 9 might be similar because of their operating system, they’re aimed at different audiences. The Hudl 2 comes in at a wonderfully affordable £99 for the solitary 16GB model. However, as you probably know, Tesco lets you pay for the Hudl 2 with Clubcard vouchers. Plus, because of Clubcard Boost, your vouchers are worth twice their face value so £50 of vouchers will buy you a brand new tablet....
Websites often look a lot cleaner when stripped of their ads, making it easier to read without those annoying pop-ups. Pages can also load noticeably faster and, as a bonus on mobile devices, your data plan can go further as the ads themselves aren’t downloaded. On the flip side, advertising exists to support all the free content that everyone expects to find on their favourite websites – including this one – and blocking them denies the creators of that content the revenue that allows them to produce it in the first place....
