Image
Choosing the right solid-state drive (SSD) for your PC is vital, especially if it's to be the drive that contains the operating system.

Will the Oculus Quest 2 have a physical IPD slider?

Image
Best answer: Yes, the Oculus Quest 2 features manual IPD adjustment via sliding lenses, but it relies on three presets — a change from the original Oculus Quest. A better fit: Oculus Quest 2 (From $299 at Amazon) A trifecta bet with the Oculus Quest 2 The Oculus Quest 2 , thankfully, still features physical IPD (inter-pupillary distance) adjustment for its lenses. Unlike the original Oculus Quest, however, the Oculus Quest 2 relies on three presets to get the job done. Users can easily slide the lenses themselves between presets simply labeled 1 , 2 , and 3 before placing the Oculus Quest 2 on their heads. By default, the Oculus Quest 2 sits at the 2 preset, which should cover the average person's IPD between 62-65mm. Sliding the lenses inward toward each other will move them to preset 1 , which should cover folks with an IPD between 58-61mm. Subsequently, sliding the lenses away from each other to the furthest point, labeled 3 , should cover users with IPD between 6...

LG phones would be so great, if LG finally made software that doesn't suck

Image
LG makes some of the best phones money can buy — as long as you leave the screen off. LG makes a lot of different products and almost all of them are best-in-class. Whether it's a washing machine or a television , you owe it to yourself to check out what LG has to offer. The same thing could be said about the company's phone business, if only it could fix its horrible software. Normally, this is not a problem I would waste any internet bandwidth on. Lots of companies make phones that very few people buy for one reason or another, but with LG, things are different. LG makes really excellent phones that look good and are built extremely well. And every one of them is spoiled by the software running on them. LG has never been afraid to make quirky phones that were beautiful and well-built. I'm not going to be shy — LG is my favorite phone manufacturer when it comes to quality. The company also isn't afraid to keep doing something different, like tiny ticker-style...

Got a Pixel 5? Here are 10 tips you should know

Image
Get the most out of your new Pixel. With the Pixel 5 , Google's tried something a bit different than it has in years past. Rather than attempting to create the most powerful and technically impressive phone on the market, the company instead focused on delivering a high-end smartphone at a competitive price. The end result is a smartphone that's considerably cheaper than options from Samsung and Apple, and especially during this year, that's something we're happy to see. Something that hasn't changed with the Pixel 5, however, is its focus on delivering unique and helpful features not found on any other phone. No one makes smartphones the way Google does, and similar to past releases, the Pixel 5 has a few tricks up its sleeve that really add to the overall user experience. If you've purchased the Pixel 5, here are a few tips and tricks to help you get the absolute most out of it. Master the on-screen Google Assistant gesture Ever since the Pixel 2, Go...
