While flatbed scanners can be picked up for next to nothing, sheet-fed scanners tend to be pricey purchases, typically starting at several hundred pounds. The DS-30, though, is rather cheaper. Even its top price of £180 is fairly low, and it can be snapped up for closer to £100 if you shop around. So where do you miss out, and is such a model really an improvement on a more traditional flatbed?...
Andy Rubin is the creator of the Android operating system and now runs his own company. He recently announced the Essential Phone by his company, ahem, Essential. Also announced was the Essential Home, a smart home device. The device’s true name is the PH-1, which isn’t as catchy (or as grandiose).

Final Fantasy 15 tips and tricks: Run and jump Let’s be honest, for a magic-wielding prince, Noctis’ stamina isn’t great and after a few seconds of sprinting, you’ll be left jogging along at a snail’s pace while he builds himself back up.

Flux has also added four LED indicators that show how much charge remains, and a smart mechanism that can recognise your device and deliver an optimal charge....
The data used combines iOS and Android data beginning in January 2012, with data up to December 2011 from iOS only. WhatsApp and Instagram were, in 2010, plucky start ups with visions of making it. Skip to 2019 and Facebook has acquired both companies – a state of affairs that has had some calling to break up the tech giant. There are questions as to why the company was allowed to buy both platforms, creating this obvious monopoly....

In iOS 6 and previous versions you had to double-tap the Home button to show the tray containing all the apps which were running in the background, using up all the smartphone or tablet’s precious resources (particularly RAM). You’d then tap and hold any one of them to make them all wiggle, and press the red cross to close the app. It was never a good system, and most people didn’t realise you didn’t actually have to tap the ‘x’ – pressing anywhere on the icon would close the app....

SSDs aren’t like traditional mechanical hard drives, and modern versions of Windows are built to copy with their differences. One of the ways you should treat an SSD differently is to avoid defragmenting it. SSDs don’t need files to be contiguous to maintain performance, but mechanical hard drives do, because it vastly speeds up transfer time if the heads don’t have to skip between completely different physical parts of the platter to retrieve a fragmented file....
