If you didn’t, the only way to retain your data on your device is to continue using the iOS 13 public beta, then exit the Apple Beta Software Program once the first public version of iOS 13 is released later this year. Otherwise, going back to iOS 12 on your device will mean starting from scratch....

Also, keep in mind that finding your watch will be limited to the hardware you have. For example, all Apple Watches within the Bluetooth range of the iPhone can be found. This is perfect if you’ve just misplaced your watch somewhere in your home or office. But you’ll have more of an advantage with Apple Watch Series 2 or later that have built-in Wi-Fi or GPS and cellular. Locate Your Lost Apple Watch On your iPhone, launch the My Watch app and tap on your paired watch....

The Good When you visit a restaurant or an online store, Google Related does tend to display the most relevant information on the left-most (always visible regardless of screen size) side of the toolbar. For restaurants, the 3 most valuable set of links are the reviews, map, and related places. Google didn’t bother to make sure reviews show up first, but no worries, the second set of related items stay visible until you go smaller than 750 pixels....

This results in songs that sound the same as the artist recorded them. For Apple Music, the iPhone maker plans to transaction audio files to its proprietory ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) format.

Fact is that with freedom comes anarchy. I’ve always loved Android’s freedom, but that came at a price: different apps had different looks and different ways to be used, turning using an Android smartphone into an annoying experience at times. Apple’s style of controlling everything, which got them quite a bot of critique from users and specialists alike, at least made sure that an iPhone or iPad app feels exactly the same as its counterparts....

What Is BitTorrent Sync? Well, it’s a very easy way of syncing folders across the internet, with all the advantages of BitTorrent technology — especially the speed and unlimited file sizes. It only has one downside – the source computer has to be turned on and online at all times, otherwise it won’t work. If that isn’t a problem for you, this just might be the perfect solution. Basically, you’re bypassing all of the “who has access to my data” worries, because you’re creating your own cloud among other users....

Server Case and Hard Drives/IO The first thing you need to do is find a nice tower case. The primary reason for this is drive space. Now granted, if you are planning to use an eSata drive enclosure full of drives, this probably isn’t as important. One of the most common problems I’ve seen in Corporate America when building out a Virtual Farm is they buy the biggest server with tons of CPU and Memory and then throw only a few drives on the box....

This is an updated version of the model that Steve has been using for years. In the next few weeks, I will take a closer look at some of the parental controls and threat protection features. But for now, I’ll give you a brief overview of the router and show you how easy it is to set it up and why it’s currently our favorite wireless router.
