Here are some top tips for improving your home wireless signal. Wi-Fi anywhere – for fast web browsing, gaming and streamingFirst of all, make sure your wireless router is correctly positioned. This means your Wi-Fi network won’t get overloaded with traffic if you have a lot of Wi-Fi devices in your home, which could weaken your wireless signal. If your Wi-Fi signal is already poor, a Wi-Fi repeater may not be adequate, as it will just repeat that already weak signal. You can buy the dLAN 1200+

You might have spotted a report on Wednesday raising questions about just how much data OnePlus collected on its users, and how much those users knew about it – prompting a statement from OnePlus about how it collected analytics for fine-tuning its software and providing after-sales support. None of the data is shared with outside parties, promised OnePlus, but now the company has gone further. Pei says some data is logged to help create “a better overall user experience” in OxygenOS, and that u

But as for learning about all the magic that makes all of these things possible? Established in 2012, Tynker is focused on empowering kids by teaching them the basics of coding in a fun and engaging way, and hopefully fostering a new generation of coders. It’s an almost universal truth and a huge part of what makes this particular collaboration so appealing. Using this system they can swap actions, remove those which don’t work or add new sequences, all using the friendly, building-block-style i

There’s less than a month to wait before you can walk into a Microsoft retail store and exchange cold, hard cash for an Xbox One X, but if you can’t wait that long, you can now try out the next-generation console at certain Microsoft outlets around the world. “More participating locations will be added in the coming weeks, and soon you’ll be able to play Xbox One X at all Microsoft Store locations prior to launch!” For the completely uninitiated, the new console brings with it 4K resolutions, a

It seems a certainty that Apple would at least be thinking about adding support for the Apple Pencil to the iPhone, but exactly when it’ll happen (if it ever does) isn’t so clear. A new report puts the date at 2019, so perhaps just in time for the iPhone XII. Apparently this would use a slightly different technology to the current Pencil, so you wouldn’t be able to use your iPad stylus on your iPhone. Patently obviousThe Apple Pencil has been getting more and more useful over time, with new hand

You don’t usually have to wait too long for some kind of controversy to erupt on Twitter, and most of the time it revolves around the issues of abuse and harassment online – hence this week’s #WomenBoycottTwitter protest. Now Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has taken to the online platform that he runs to tell users that “a more aggressive stance” is going to be taken in the future. “We see voices being silenced on Twitter every day,” says Dorsey. Top priorityTwitter is often accused of a slow and hapha

Don’t forget there are 7 good reasons why a VPN isn’t enoughWaving the ban stickIn fact, VPNs work so well that the services have caused a handful of countries to take a hard line against VPN usage. So, these exceptions aside, for those of us who live anywhere else, using a VPN is 100% completely legal. As we saw only earlier this week, the FBI brought in a cyber-stalker with some of the evidence against the man provided by a VPN service. Finally, when it comes to paying for these VPN services,

It’s easy to be apathetic about augmented reality. While both Android and iOS devices now have the power to run AR apps, Apple is making the biggest noise about it. CEO Tim Cook told The Sun the potential of AR is: “like it was in 2008 when the App Store opened. Like apps, this is crucial: if there’s nobody using a smartphone platform, nobody will make apps for it. Even if hundreds or thousands of developers start knocking out augmented reality titles, it doesn’t mean consumers will want them.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak believes it’s currently too expensive to earn a degree in tech, and so he recently announced the opening of Woz U , an online university that aims to make tech education more affordable. You’ll currently only find the Arizona-based Woz U online, but Wozniak hopes he’ll eventually see physical campuses in over 30 cities in the US and throughout the world. Woz U also provides K-12 schools with STEAM programs that help ease kids into a career in tech. Businesses can b

Facebook really wants to make sure you never leave its site, and to that end, it’s now offering a service that lets you order food through the app or website itself. That means that when you click on the new “Order Food” tab under Explore, you’ll find listings for local eateries. In essence, Facebook’s main role is cutting out the step of actively visiting another app or website apart from Facebook to make a food order. “People already go to Facebook to browse restaurants and decide where to eat

Apple said months ago that an Amazon Prime Video app would be coming to the Apple TV “later this year,” but the entire summer went by without it ever showing up. Now, though, MacRumors has spotted a sketchy rumor that’s being spread by a Reddit commenter going by the name of “AmazonVideoEngineer,” who claims we’ll finally see the Prime Video app hit Apple’s set-top box on October 26. Apples and orangesThat scenario seems likely, as Amazon and Apple (and Google) already got into a tussle a couple

Of all the current generation consoles on the market right now, Microsoft’s Xbox One is by far the most impressive when it comes to its commitment to backwards compatibility. At the moment there’s an extensive list of Xbox 360 games that can be played on the Xbox One and while that’s continuing to grow, Microsoft announced plans to add original Xbox games into the mix at E3 earlier this year. Microsoft hasn’t been forthcoming with details on exactly which original Xbox titles will be coming to X

Last month, Uber lost its license to operate in London, but had 21 days to appeal – and 21 days later it’s now officially lodged that appeal, submitting the necessary documents to Westminster Magistrates’ Court. “While we have today filed our appeal so that Londoners can continue using our app, we hope to continue having constructive discussions with Transport for London,” Uber said in a press statement. The London ban isn’t the first time it’s had trouble with the authorities. Recently installe
