They start from around £20 / $20, and even for that tiny sum you can get great-quality live video on your phone wherever you can get a 3G, 4G (or even 5G) signal.

If you’re already using a cloud storage solution such as Dropbox, then you will already be able to share files securely....
Five years ago, Apple launched the iPhone X. It had a fairly radical design with the ever-controversial notch at the top of the screen. Quite apart from how it looked, it vastly reduced the amount of space available for icons and information in the status bar. And one of the casualties was that Apple removed the option to display the battery percentage. You could (and still can) see the exact percentage of battery power remaining by swiping down from the top-right side of the screen to show Control Centre, but this – and other workarounds using Widgets – aren’t satisfactory for everyone....
In the modern technological world, your data is a precious resource. Many companies use it to provide an accurate picture of how you use their products and services, but only after you’ve given your consent. That’s no different on Windows 11 , where Microsoft uses data to improve the operating system and provide better recommendations. Not everything is necessary, though. There are plenty of data collection settings on Windows 11 that you can disable without any adverse effect on your experience....
There are plenty of methods for taking a screenshot built-in to Windows 10, but they all have one thing in common – the size of your screenshot is limited by the size of your screen. While that’s fine on many occasions, it can quickly become frustrating to have to take separate screenshots in order to capture a whole document. That also presents complications when it comes to sharing, with important details often spread across multiple images....

Facebook and Instagram are both among the most important, influential and popular social media sites. What’s more, they are both owned by the same company – Meta. That’s why connecting them and sharing data between them is so easy and encouraged by the company. What if you don’t want to do that though? What are Connected Experiences on Facebook and Instagram? The process of connecting Instagram and Facebook creates what both platforms call a Connected Experiences space....
PDFs are useful for many reasons, but one is the ability to password protect a file so that only those with the password can view what it contains. That’s called a user password . It’s also possible to prevent people from copying, editing and printing a PDF. No password is required to view the file, but you’ll find those functions are locked out if the owner has chosen to protect the document....
Internet privacy is becoming a more important topic with each passing month, and with a wide array of user friendly VPNs now available, setting up a VPN on your iPhone or iPad has never been easier. A virtual private network, or VPN, is a service that your device connects to before it accesses the wider internet. This means that to anything trying to look at you on the internet, they don’t see you or your device; they see the VPN that you are connected to, in whatever form that takes....

Both teams will want to win it, with Chelsea’s Mauricio Pochettino looking for a first piece of silverware in England and Jurgen Klopp wanting to go out on a high in his last season with Liverpool....
Sony is one of the leading makers of TVs, cameras and games consoles, but it’s struggled to make an impression when it comes to smartphones. The Japanese company accounts for a tiny percentage of the global smartphone market, while market research from IDC and other companies continues to bundle it into the ‘Others’ category. However, there are no signs Sony has any plans to stop making phones. The company still has a core group of loyal fans, while simplified product lines have allowed it to focus on fewer products of (hopefully) higher quality....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The initial purchase price of the OfficeJet 3830 is obviously very attractive, and will appeal to many home users and smaller offices. Its running costs are also quite good when printing in colour, so it will be a good option for printing photos, or reports and presentations that contain colour graphics. However, simple mono printing is more expensive, and the OfficeJet 3830 could prove expensive to run if you print a lot of simple text documents....

Huawei has sought to reassure potential Mate XT Ultimate foldable owners who might be balking at the high cost of ownership with a generous display replacement offer.

However, the company has sought to ease any early adopter doubts with a fresh offer....
The foldable phone market has been going from strength to strength for years, and while it may seem that manufacturers are slowly starting to settle down, some may still be working on new form factors behind the scenes. The recent Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 didn’t bring too much new, focusing on improving the shortcomings of their predecessors. The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra , while bringing vast improvements to its camera and battery life compared to the previous generation, also retains a familiar design....
Yesterday, Nintendo released all the details about its next console, the Nintendo Switch 2 . Today, I got to be one of the first people to go hands-on with it in Paris, and there’s one key feature that truly surprised me. That would be the option to turn the Joy-Cons on their sides and use them like a traditional computer mouse. When I saw this feature on the Direct live stream , it didn’t immediately jump out as something I’d get a lot of use out of....
