I don't wanna be mean, but I feel like...it's not gatekeeping to say that you should read canon before writing a thesis on a character. The amount of times I have read "Bruce, Dick and Alfred don't visit Jason's grave which is why they missed that he was alive" is insane for something that is literally explained in Under the Red Hood. I don't need yet another rendition of "Damian cuts Tim's line everyone ignores it" when that's not what happened in Red Robin. Why does Tim overwhelmingly seem to view Dick as a loser at best and abusive at worse when that's not their canon relationship even a little? Why does Bruce constantly treat Cass like a distant ally instead of his literal mini me of a daughter??? Why do Cass and Duke act like they've never met??? I hate to be cringe and say that I am heavily invested in these characters and when I read about them outside of canon, I want to read about them and not the abomination that the the first 5 facts listed on their wiki and the game of telephone between fic writers that won't engage with the source material and/or a narrative from the perspective of one single brown character makes of them, but I am and I do. If you're going to be in it then be in it but if you genuinely do not like the source material and don't want to read it then what are you even doing???

15 Cool smartphone tricks that will blow your mind
1. TURN WI-FI OFF WITH YOUR VOICE
The future is here: Siri, Google Now and Cortana let you turn off Wi-Fi with your voice. Just launch your app of choice and say "turn off Wi-Fi" to achieve the desired result. It works with Bluetooth as well).
2. EMAIL HUGE FILES FROM YOUR IPHONE (IOS)
iOS 9.2 added Mail Drop to iPhones, so when you email a large file from your phone you'll get a prompt to use it. Instead of attaching the file, Mail uploads it to iCloud, with the download link valid for 30 days.
3. CONTROL YOUR COMPUTER WITH YOUR PHONE
A host of apps, from Spotify to YouTube, have some kind of remote control functionality built in. If you want overall control of your laptop or desktop, take a look at the likes of Unified Remote and Alfred.
4. CHANGE THE KEYBOARD (ANDROID AND IOS)
Both Android and iOS now support the use of third-party keyboards, which can do everything from add extra emojis to apply some neural network processing power to your phone's autocorrect feature.
5. FIND OUT WHERE ALL YOUR BATTERY POWER IS GOING
All the major smartphone OSes now have detailed readouts of which apps are using up most of your battery juice, so have a root through the Settings app to find the worst offenders and uninstall them if necessary.
6. USE AEROPLANE MODE TO SPEED UP CHARGING
Just like everyone else you probably want your phone to charge up as quickly as possible (even more so if you're in a rush). Put it in aeroplane mode and it will use much less battery life and thus charge more quickly.
7. KEEP YOUR KIDS OR FRIENDS INSIDE ONE APP (ANDROID)
On Android Marshmallow, go to Settings, Security and Screen pinning - when activated, you can 'pin' apps from the multitasking screen, so the app can't be left without a PIN. Handy for lending your handset to other people.
8. USE YOUR IPHONE'S LED FLASH FOR NOTIFICATIONS (IOS)
You can have your iPhone's LED light flash whenever a notification comes in as an extra way of alerting you to new activity: from Settings, choose General then Accessibility and then toggle LED Flash for Alerts to the on position.
9. ACCESS ANDROID'S HIDDEN SAFE MODE (ANDROID)
Android has a hidden safe mode (like Windows) where third-party apps are disabled, which is useful for troubleshooting. On stock Android, Bring up the Power off menu with the power button then long press on it.
10. QUICKLY FLUSH THE RAM ON YOUR IPHONE (IOS)
iOS doesn't have a safe mode, but you can quickly clear out the memory and speed everything up again - press and hold the power button, then when you see the "slide" message, press and hold the home button.
11. UNLOCK THE SYSTEM UI TUNER (ANDROID)
Android Marshmallow includes a hidden System UI tuner for playing around with the Quick Settings pane (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc). To enable it, press and hold the cog icon at the top of Quick Settings, then find it in the Settings app.
12. TURN THE KEYBOARD INTO A TRACKPAD (IOS)
If you're running iOS 9 or above on an iPad, an iPhone 6S or an iPhone 6S, press and hold two fingers on the keyboard to turn it into a makeshift trackpad. Unfortunately the feature doesn't work on older iPhones.
13. GO HOME WITH ONE BUTTON TAP (ANDROID)
Google Maps for Android offers a one-icon widget that instantly directs you to the address of your choosing - that means you can create a home screen shortcut that takes you home from anywhere with one finger tap.
14. FALL ASLEEP TO YOUR MUSIC (IOS)
If you go into the Clock app on your iPhone you can set a countdown timer - easy enough - but you can then choose Stop Playing as the option from the When Timer Ends menu to shut off all your music after the allotted period.
15. SET YOUR ALARM TO GET LOUDER AND LOUDER (ANDROID)
Here's a tip for the Android Clock app: delve into the menu (three vertical dots) from the main alarms page then find the option that says Gradually increase volume. It gives you that extra impetus to get out of bed.

The Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight!
Overnight tonight (Sunday) the spectacular annual Perseid Meteor Shower will reach its peak, when the most meteors will be seen per hour. After tonight, the shower will taper off until it officially ends on August 26, so you should head out on Monday night if it’s clear, and continue to keep an eye out for bright meteors for the rest of this week, although the moon will increasingly affect seeing conditions. I wrote details about how meteor showers work here last week. Make an effort to see this show; next year the Full Moon will spoil the Perseid peak. 
For best results, try to find a safe and very dark viewing location with as much open sky as possible. Even a 30 minute drive to a park or rural site away from big city light pollution will help a lot. You can start watching as soon as it is dark - to catch very long meteors produced by particles skimming the Earth’s upper atmosphere. These are rarer, but feature very long trains. Don’t worry about watching the radiant. Meteors from that position will be heading directly towards you and have very short trails. 
Bring a blanket for warmth and a chaise to avoid neck strain, plus snacks and drinks. Try to keep watching the sky even when chatting with friends or family – they’ll understand. Call out when you see one; a bit of friendly competition is fun! 
Don’t look at your phone or tablet – the bright screen will spoil your dark adaptation. If you can, minimize the brightness or cover the screen with red film. Disabling app notifications will reduce the chances of unexpected bright light, too. And remember that binoculars and telescopes will not help you see meteors because they have fields of view that are too narrow. I posted some diagrams here. Good hunting! 
The Moon and Planets
After reaching its new phase on Saturday, the young crescent moon will return to grace the low western evening sky for a short time after sunset tonight (Sunday). For the rest of the week, it will wax and slide east, lingering longer after sunset each evening. 
In the western sky on Tuesday evening, the moon will take up a position a palm’s width above bright Venus, making a lovely wide field photo opportunity. On Wednesday evening it will sit a similar distance above the bright white star Spica in Virgo (the Maiden). On Thursday and Friday, the moon will hop over Jupiter, moving from the planet’s upper right to its upper left. Using the moon as a starting point, you might be able to spot Jupiter in daylight using binoculars.
Tumblr media
(Above: The moon and Jupiter in daylight at 7 pm EDT on August 16. The following day, the moon will hop to Jupiter’s upper left. The orange circle represents a binoculars field of view.)
This is the best week of the moon’s monthly orbit to view it in binoculars or a telescope. The moon waxes because the sun is slowly rising over its eastern horizon. The shallow angle of the sunlight casts deep black shadows all along the terminator line – the boundary between the lit and unlit hemispheres. New terrain will be showcased every night! 
Extremely bright Venus will still blaze away in the western evening sky this week – and it’s still brightening! On Thursday, Venus will reach its widest angle east of the sun. After that, the planet will begin to swing back towards a meeting with the sun in October. The descending evening ecliptic is pulling Venus a bit lower each night, but we can observe it until about 10 pm local time. In a small telescope, the planet’s disk will resemble a first quarter moon, half-lit on the sunward side (although your telescope might flip the view).
Tumblr media
(Above: Venus reaches greatest elongation east of the sun on August 16, after which it will start to swing back towards the sun. Meanwhile the moon will look upon Jupiter as it passes close above the bright double star Zubenelgenubi,as shown here for 9 pm local time.)
We only have a few more good weeks to enjoy Jupiter this year. This week, the very bright planet will be in the southwestern sky after dusk, and then set in the west-southwest at about 11:30 pm local time. Jupiter has been slowly shifting eastwards. In the middle of this week, it will pass close above a nearby bright star. Afterwards it will start to pull away. The star is Zubenelgenubi, the brightest star in Libra (the Scales). In binoculars, you’ll plainly see that Zubenelgenubi is a pair of stars. While you have the binoculars handy, see if you can see Jupiter’s four Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede) flanking the planet. 
From time to time, the small round black shadows cast by Jupiter’s four Galilean moons become visible in backyard telescopes as they cross (or transit) the planet’s disk. On Thursday, August 16, Europa’s shadow will begin to transit at 7:56 pm EDT (in evening twilight). At 8:05 pm EDT, Io’s shadow will join Europa’s and the duo will transit Jupiter until they both move off the planet at 10:10 pm. A reasonable backyard telescope will show the black shadows, but a very good telescope is needed to see the moons themselves. More shadow transits are available in other time zones around the world, including some double shadow ones.
Tumblr media
 (Above: A double shadow transit caused by Europa and Io will occur on Jupiter on Thursday, August 16, as shown here at 9:15 pm EDT.)
The Great Red Spot (or GRS, for short) takes about three hours to cross Jupiter’s disk. But the planet’s 10-hour rotation period (i.e., its day) means that the spot is only observable from Earth every 2-3 nights. If you’d like to see the GRS, use a medium-sized telescope (or larger). You’ll have your best luck on evenings with steady air – when the stars are not twinkling too much. Try to look within an hour before or after the following times: Sunday, August 12 at 8:57 pm, Tuesday, August 14 at 10:36 pm, Friday, August 17 at 8:07 (in twilight), and Sunday, August 19 at 9:46 pm. All times are given in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), so adjust for your local time zone. 
Around 9 pm local time, when the first bright stars appear overhead, medium-bright Saturn will appear not too high up the darkening southern sky. The yellow-tinted planet will reach its highest elevation of about 2 fist diameters above the southern horizon at around 9:30 pm, and then descend to set in the west at about 2:30 am. This summer, the ringed planet has been on the eastern (left-hand) outskirts of the Milky Way, and situated just above the “lid” star of the Teapot-shaped constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer). As the sky darkens, even a small telescope should be able to show you some of Saturn’s larger moons, especially Titan. Using a clock’s dial analogy, Titan will move counter-clockwise this week from a position at 12 o’clock (above the planet) to 7 o’clock (to the lower left of it). (Remember that your small telescope might flip and/or invert the view. Use the moon to find out how your telescope changes things.) 
Mars will still be very bright and close to Earth this week. Visually, it will appear pink or orangey. It will rise over the southeastern horizon at around 8 pm local time (give or take, depending on your latitude) and then climb higher until midnight local time, when it will reach an elevation of about 20° (or two outstretched fist diameters) above the southern horizon. (That will be the best hour to view the planet in a telescope because it will then be shining through the least amount of Earth’s distorting atmosphere.) Note that 20° is lower than many trees and buildings, so a clear southern vista is essential.
Tumblr media
(Above: Mars and Saturn dominate the overnight southern sky, as shown here for 10 pm local time this week. Tiny Pluto sits near Sagittarius, between the two naked-eye planets.) 
At visual magnitude 5.8, blue-green coloured Uranus is visible from late evening until dawn. You can see it without optical aid under very dark skies, or in binoculars and telescopes under moderately light-polluted skies. The ice giant planet is located in the eastern sky, about 4.5 finger widths to the left of the modestly bright star Torcular (Omega Piscium), which is above the “V” where the two starry cords of Pisces (the Fishes) meet.
Tumblr media
(Above: The detailed positions of Uranus and Neptune in August, 2018.) 
Using a decent quality telescope this week, you can see the distant and very blue planet Neptune among the dim stars of Aquarius (the Water-bearer). It will rise in the east shortly after 9 pm local time. Look for the magnitude 7.8 planet sitting 1.75 finger widths to the right of the modestly bright star Phi (φ) Aquarii and 4 finger widths to the left of the brighter star Hydor (Lambda Aquarii). 
At 1:36 am EDT on Wednesday, August 15, distant dwarf planet Pluto will pass in front of, or occult, a dim distant star. The planet is positioned roughly midway between Mars and Saturn. Many serious astronomers will try to record the event to study how Pluto’s atmosphere dims the star.  
A Binocular Comet
Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner has been gradually brightening for some time because it is approaching Earth’s orbit. This week, you should be able to see the faint fuzzy object in binoculars or a small telescope, if you can escape city lights. The comet will be heading downwards every night past the bright star Segin, which marks the bottom-most star in the “W” of Cassiopeia (the Queen).
Tumblr media
(Above: This animation was assembled from a series of 55 images of Algol taken with the CHARA interferometer at Mount Wilson Observatory, using the infrared part of the spectrum (coloring the normally white star red). It shows the dimmer companion star orbiting Algol and passing in front of it - a classic eclipsing binary star system. The numerical labels range from 0.0 at the start of the orbit, to 0.868, near the end of the orbit.) 
See the “Demon” Star Brighten
The “Demon Star”, more formally known as Algol, is a star that is easy to see using unaided eyes. In Perseus (the Hero), it is among the most accessible variable stars for beginner skywatchers. Despite the connotation of its nickname (it represents the severed head of Medusa the Gorgon being held by Perseus), the star is a hot white star located 92 light-years from Earth.
Algol’s brightness dims noticeably for about 10 hours once every 2 days, 20 hours, and 49 minutes because a dim companion star orbiting nearly edge-on to Earth crosses in front of the much brighter main star – an arrangement that is called an eclipsing binary star system. On Saturday, August 18 at 9:32 pm EDT, Algol will reach its minimum brightness of magnitude 3.4 and will sit just above the northeastern horizon. By 2:30 am EDT, it will be halfway up the eastern sky and will have brightened to its usual magnitude of 2.1. The dimming periods can fall at any time of the day or night. The timing of this particular event makes watching the return to brightness a convenient project for evening observers.
Keep looking up to enjoy the sky! I love getting questions so, if you have any, send me a note.

Zoosk App Crashing
Tumblr media
This story has been updated. It was originally published on June 24, 2018.
Zoosk App Review
Zoosk App Keeps Crashing
Zoosk Dating App For Kindle
Zoosk Dating Site App
You’re organizing your notes on the computer or chatting with friends on your smartphone when the app crashes. You open it back up, only for the program to shut down again. When an app starts acting like this, it’s a huge inconvenience.
If you suspect your ISP is blocking zoosk.com. You may try an alternate DNS service, such as OpenDNS or Google DNS. Or, use a VPN such as NordVPN. Which is why human App Reviewers ensure that the apps on the App Store adhere to our strict app review standards. Our App Store Review Guidelines require apps to be safe, provide a good user experience, comply with our privacy rules, secure devices from malware and threats, and use approved business models.
But there’s good news: Fixing crashing apps isn’t too difficult, whether you’re on Android, iOS, Windows, or macOS. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key steps you should take to make everything run smoothly again. However, make sure to double-check that your issues are related to one app in particular. If several programs are misbehaving, you might be facing a larger problem with your computer or smartphone.
Troubleshooting Android apps
When a mobile app acts up, the culprit is often corrupted data. Many apps cache bits of data—like a friend’s recent status update or a menu icon—in your phone’s local storage. This lets you access the app more quickly the next time you pull it up. However, the locally stored information can also get glitchy, crashing the app. You can sometimes fix the problem by forcing the app to refresh its data from the cloud or the app’s original files, rather than the local storage.
Tumblr media
To perform a basic cache refresh on Android, clear an app from your phone’s recent memory. Your device keeps recently-used apps active, which maintains their local caches. By erasing the app from memory, you reset the cached data. To do this, first enter the app carrousel by slowly swiping up from the bottom of your screen. Then exit out of the glitchy app by swiping it up. For good measure, restart your phone immediately afterward.
For a more comprehensive reset, go to Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps, and select the glitchy program from the list. Once there, go to Storage & cacheand tap Clear cache. The next time the app loads, it will have to refresh its data, which should erase the corrupted bits. If this doesn’t do the trick, tap Clear storage on the same screen as the Clear cache option. This erases all stored information, resetting the app to the state when you first installed it. That means you’ll have to log back and reconfigure your settings. Still, the hassle is worth it if this step fixes the problem.
(Related: 24 hidden Android settings you should know about)
With a program that keeps misbehaving, there might be a significant issue with the app’s code, or it could no longer be compatible with your device. The developers might be aware of these problems, so you should check whether there’s an update that solves them. Open the Play Store app, tap your avatar in the top right, choose My apps & games, and see if the app in question is on the list under Updates pending. If it is,install any updates and see if it makes a difference. Updating your Android operating system could also minimize compatibility issues. Check for Android updates in Settings > System > Advance > System update.
If you don’t see updates, or they don’t affect how an app runs, then uninstalling and reinstalling the program might help. Head back to the app’s Play Store listing, tap on the name of the app, and then tapUninstall. Once this process is complete, the button should revert back to Install. Restart the phone, then open the Play Store and install the app once more.
Tumblr media
After all that, if the app keeps crashing, it’s time for the last resort: Contact the developer directly and explain your issue. On the app’s Play Store listing, tap on the name of the app andyou should see a Developer Contactoption with an email and a website to help you get in touch.
Troubleshooting iOS and iPadOS apps
Tumblr media
The process for iOS and iPadOS is very similar to the one for Android: Try clearing the data cache, restarting the phone, updating the software, and ultimately contacting the developer for extra help. Here’s how you follow these steps on your iPhone or iPad.
First, refresh the app’s cache by clearing it from memory: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold until your open apps appear (or double-tap the Home button), then swipe up on the app that’s causing issues. Next, force an iPhone reboot by holding down the Volume down and Side buttons at the same time until a slide to power off option appears. If your phone has a Home button, hold down the Home and Side buttons until the Apple logo appears. To restart an iPad, press Volume up, then Volume down, and then hold the top button.
Unlike Android, there isn’t an easy way to clear an app’s cache or data on an iPhone or iPad. So your first step should be checking for updates. Open up the App Store, tap your Apple ID avatar, and install any updates you see. While you’re at it, check for any pending updates in Settings > General > Software Update.
(Related: 24 iPhone settings that feel like secrets)
If the troublesome app doesn’t have an available update, or updating it simply doesn’t work, it’s time to uninstall and reinstall the app. This should clear out any corrupted data or poorly-configured settings, forcing the program to start over from scratch. Press and hold the app’s icon on the home screen, then tap Remove App from the menu that appears, followed by Delete App. Restart your phone and reinstall the app from the App Store.
Beyond a reinstall, your final step should be to reach out to the developer. Head back to the app’s App Store listing and look for the Developer Website entry. This should lead you to contact details where you can ask about the problems you’re having.
Troubleshooting Windows apps
These days, computer operating systems handle apps much like phones do. That means you can follow broadly similar troubleshooting steps. You install updates, which can fix bugs and update compatibility, and erase a program’s cache of local data, which may have become bloated or corrupted.
Windows doesn’t have a central application-management system like a smartphone does, so the update process will vary slightly from app to app. First, open the program and see whether the menu includes an update option. Or head to the app’s official website to see whether the latest version is available for download. For example, you can get the latest version of iTunes here and the latest version of Spotify here. Programs you purchased from the Microsoft Store are easier: You can update them in bulk. Head to the taskbar, search for “Microsoft Store,” and select the top option. Then click the menu button (three horizontal dots) in the top right and pick Downloads and updates > Get updates.
Your computer is a more complex beast than your smartphone, which means there are more potential problem areas. For example, a computer program is more likely to have compatibility problems with other software and with the hardware itself. So in addition to updating the problem program, you should make sure your other applications are up to date as well. While you’re at it, head to Settings > Update & Security and install any pending updates that appear on that screen.
(Related: 4 hidden tweaks that will speed up Windows)
If updating the app doesn’t fix it, your next step will be to clear its data cache, potentially removing any bugs. On Windows, the only way to do this is by uninstalling and reinstalling the program. To remove a program, hit the Start menu and select the cog icon to open Windows Settings. Choose Apps, find the problem program, click on it, and choose Uninstall to remove it. Then reinstall the application from the web or the Microsoft Store.
When problems keep cropping up after that, it’s time to get in touch with the developer team. The program’s website should point you toward whatever support system the developers offer.
Troubleshooting macOS apps
Tumblr media
Zoosk App Review
The method on macOS closely resembles the Windows process. Again, you will follow the principles of updating and cache-clearing.
First, install updates. For programs you installed from the internet, check the application’s menu for an update option, or download the latest version from the web. Anything you got from the Mac App Store will alert you automatically when updates are available. Check on and install pending updates by opening the App Store and selecting the Updates tab.
The same tab will also tell you if any macOS updates are available. If a new version of the operating system has recently been released, but you haven’t installed it yet, some of your installed programs might experience occasional bugginess due to compatibility issues. Update the operating system to eliminate this problem. As on Windows, one of your applications might be going haywire in response to another application or even a hardware device. If you’ve recently changed something about your system, that might be a clue. That’s why it’s important to keep all your other software up to date, even if you’re not noticing any buggy behavior in other apps.
Zoosk App Keeps Crashing
(Related: 23 useful Mac settings hiding in plain sight)
If updates don’t fix your application, then it’s time to clear as much of its data as possible by uninstalling and reinstalling the program. If you installed the app from the Mac App Store, open Launchpad, click and hold the app’s icon, and select the X icon that pops up. For programs installed separately, look for an uninstaller tool, which should appear in the program’s folder in Finder > Applications. If you can’t find an uninstall option, just drag the app from Applications to Trash, then click and hold on Trash and select Empty Trash.
After you reinstall the software from the App Store or the web, it should erase any buggy data and reset to factory settings. If this doesn’t clear up the issues you’ve been experiencing, try contacting the developer. You can often find a contact option through the app, or check for contact information on the official website.
Other troubleshooting tips
Zoosk Dating App For Kindle
As we’ve mentioned, your computer is more sophisticated than your smartphone, which means a problem has more potential culprits. Extensions and faulty hardware can make your apps keep crashing.
Zoosk Dating Site App
Computer programs like web browsers often work with third-party extensions—and a bad plug-in can ruin them. If you think this might be the root cause of your woes, try disabling the add-ons for your browser (or whatever application you’re using) one by one. In Chrome, go to Chrome menu > More tools > Extensions; in Firefox, choose Firefox menu > Add-ons; in Microsoft Edge, choose Edge menu > Extensions; and for Safari open Safari > Preferences > Extensions.
In addition to extensions, recently-installed hardware devices can cause app issues, particularly when the device in question is older. To check whether it’s to blame, disconnect the hardware and see if this clears up your problems. If it does, you might be able to fix the issue by downloading updated hardware drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
Finally, whether an app is misbehaving on your computer or your phone, you can always consult the internet. A quick web search can turn up known issues with specific apps, along with potential fixes for the problems. Even if your research fails to find a solution, you’ll at least know that the fault doesn’t lie with you.

New Post has been published on Strange Hoot - How To’s, Reviews, Comparisons, Top 10s, & Tech Guide
New Post has been published on https://strangehoot.com/how-to-play-youtube-videos-in-background-on-android-phone/
How to Play YouTube Videos in Background on Android Phone
Play YouTube Videos in Background is a new update that android application has released. When you are multitasking on your smartphone, this feature is useful. You can keep listening to audio while working on other apps such as Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp or any other. 
YouTube app – New features that are not known 
Youtube is constantly evolving and keeps introducing new features, hence here are some lesser known features about YouTube. 
Play YouTube Videos in Background: The most common complaint that users had for YouTube was its inability to play videos in the background or when the device is locked using the android application. 
The new version in android and iOS devices has a way around this. In iOS  one can play videos in the background without interruption. 
One has to open YouTube on their safari. Next, play the video > press the iPhone home button. Lastly, one has to launch the control center (that can be done by sliding up from the bottom of the screen and press Play.)
Playing videos with the loop option: playing videos on loop is another uncommon feature of YouTube which comes in handy for desktop versions.
Looping a video can be done by right-clicking on the desired video and selecting the loop option. This feature works even if one’s autoplay is enabled. The video replays itself every time it ends.
YouTube Dark Mode: The recently introduced dark theme on YouTube is more aesthetically pleasing than the original light theme. Go to your account icon > select dark theme to enable the dark theme on YouTube.
Limiting data usage: If you have a limit on your daily data usage or you have used up most of your data for the day, YouTube allows one to save data or even save money that one might spend on extra data. 
Launch YouTube > General tab and lastly, hit the limit mobile data usage. Also, disable the YouTube autoplay.
Privacy settings: On YouTube if one does not make their account private, other people can access one’s liked videos, frequently watched videos, saved videos and even channels one has subscribed to. 
To keep one’s account private go to settings > press on privacy and change settings. To maintain privacy, one can also delete history or pause watch history.
Timestamp while sharing: When one wants to share a video, especially if one wants them to watch a specific part, it can be done rather than sending the whole video. 
One can pause the video from where they want the other person to see it then, press the share button and lastly, check the start at box option and copy the URL of the video.
Stats for nerds: This feature on YouTube makes technical data about videos available which includes video format, audio format as well as bandwidth. The desktop version allows you to access this data with a right-click but however on the mobile version, one has to enable it in general settings. 
After enabling it, start the video > press menu button and you will be able to see stats for nerds option on the top right corner of the screen.
How to Play YouTube Videos in Background
Playing videos in the background becomes useful when one is listening to music. One doesn’t have to pause videos in order to reply to a few quick texts. This can be extremely frustrating during live streams. Play YouTube Videos in background can be done on both iOS and the android devices without having to subscribe to Youtube Premium.
Launch YouTube on Google Chrome
Next, press on the three vertical dots that are located in the top right 
Next, press on the Desktop site.
Find the video you wish to watch or hear. Open the video by clicking on it.
The video will play automatically on another page.
If one exits the Home Screen, they can notice that the video has stopped playing.
Pull down the notifications slide of your device, one will be able to view recent media controls of the video.
Lastly, one has to simply press the play icon.
Now, the video can be played in the background on your device.
For premium users, follow the steps of how to play YouTube Videos on Android. Membership accounts give additional benefits and make the YouTube users life easy when it comes to “i want to do this on YouTube”. You think it and it is available. Some with free membership and more with premium account.
You can go to settings in the YouTube Android app.
Check you will find the option – Background & Downloads.
Choose Background Play.
There is a playback option. Make sure it is Always on.
To check other options, tap Playback.
Always on – set the background play on as soon as you get onto another activity.
Off – video does not play in background
Headphone or external speakers – when you are connected to headphones, it will play in the background that time only.
Your settings to play YouTube videos in background is ready to work.
YouTube app in Android – How it works or how to use 
Since YouTube app’s inception in the start of 2005, it has grown extensively. Statistics have shown that people all around the world upload 300 or more hours of quality content to YouTube on a daily basis. 
The YouTube app is leaving behind Google to be the second largest search engine available in the world. YouTube makes it easy to search information and dig out videos relating to topics of one’s interest.
With the YouTube app, one can share and watch videos online of their interest. YouTube videos can be easily shared on other social media platforms. YouTube generates a “suggested videos” section for each user which indicates what video the user might like to watch next based on search and watch history.
YouTube can be used for basic activities like:
Videos can be saved to watch later.
Play YouTube videos in background in your android and iOS apps
One can comment on their favourite videos.
One can also rate videos.
Creating playlist of videos of one’s choice
Creating as well as operating one’s own channel.
Be updated on the latest trending videos online.
The reach or audience of YouTube is commendable as it is available in 80 different languages from around the world making this platform extremely diverse. YouTube being user friendly, one can browse videos by categories, typing keywords, applying filters to search options. 
Filters help you to search videos according to their preferences for instance, if one wants to see videos by release date or popularity. 
Conclusion
Technology has worked its way into everyone’s day to day lives. Using technology is one of the first things a person does when they wake up. Do morning prayer using YouTube, play rhymes videos for your kid as soon as he/she wakes up, view breakfast recipes on YouTube and so on. All of these can also be done via “Play YouTube Videos in background” and do other morning activities.
YouTube helps explore new places to eat, new places to explore, for instance when a YouTube posts a vlog of a new restaurant or a new place they visited making the viewer open to exploring similar experiences.
It helps one keep up with the world. YouTube can be highly addictive as well. Viewing videos on YouTube can turn into taking up most part of your day. Many people, especially among the youth, prefer to learn certain skills through YouTube like learning to play guitar, piano or even sing. 
It has an educational use as well, students can  have a better understanding of concepts through YouTube due to its audio visual aid. Technology is not necessarily evil, it’s a necessary good that can go either way. YouTube in a way helps us gain facts or learn about things that motivate us towards personal, social, economic and sometimes cultural growth as well. 
In whichever scenario if you just need to listen to audio of YouTube video, play YouTube video in background and engage yourself in another activity.

How Apple's iPhone has improved since its 2007 debut
yahoo
These days, we yawn and roll our eyes at each new smartphone model. The changes seem to be tiny—evolutionary. Where are the big steps forward?
Well, it may be that there aren’t many big steps left to take. Every kind of machine evolves, finally reaching an ultimate incarnation of itself. How often, for example, do you replace your refrigerator? Or your air conditioner? There just aren’t many compelling new features left to add.
Even so, we’ve come a very long way since 2007, when Apple (AAPL) released the very first iPhone. Every year, there’s another model, each faster and loaded up with more features. As we prepare for the September 12 unveiling of the 10th-anniversary iPhone, here’s a chronology of what was new with each year’s iteration.
Tumblr media
The iPhone gets a total body makeover every few years. This year, it’s time.
iPhone (June 2007)
The very first iPhone introduced a very long list of firsts. The big one, of course, was that it was all touchscreen—no typing keys. Not just a touchscreen—a multitouch screen, with all of those touch gestures we now take for granted, like “pinch to zoom” and swiping through lists.
It also introduced visual voicemail, where your messages appear in an inbox. Its email and web browser apps were full-fledged, showing all the formatting you’d see on a desktop computer—a first for phones.
It’s also worth remembering what the first iPhone didn’t have: A front camera. A camera flash. Video recording. Cut and paste. GPS. MMS (sending photos as text messages). A memory-card slot. Voice dialing. Word-complete suggestions. A choice of carrier (it was AT&T [T] only, and really slow).
And there was no app store. You got 16 apps, and you were happy.
The base model cost $500, and packed 4 gigabytes of storage.
As I wrote in my review in The New York Times: “The iPhone is revolutionary; it’s flawed. It’s substance; it’s style. It does things no phone has ever done before; it lacks features found even on the most basic phones.”
Tumblr media
Here it is: The Apple product that not even Apple guessed would change the world.
iPhone 3G (July 2008)
The second iPhone was intended to address the first phone’s Achilles’ heel: Its excruciatingly slow internet. This model took advantage of AT&T’s 3G network, which was at least twice as fast as the old one.
The storage options doubled, to 8 and 16 GB. A white color option debuted. And the phone gained true GPS. (The original phone simulated GPS by triangulating from known WiFi hot spots and cell towers.)
Tumblr media
This iPhone was called 3G because it could get onto the 3G cellular networks (and NOT because it was the third-generation iPhone; it wasn’t).
Software: Focusing on only the hardware of the iPhone is missing the bigger picture: Each new phone is accompanied by a new version of its system software, which we now call iOS. In general, each new iOS version’s features also work on earlier iPhone models.
The iPhone 3G, for example, was accompanied by the debut of the App Store, a single, central catalog of add-on apps. The idea that you could download new programs directly onto the iPhone, instead of having to transfer them from a computer, was a huge breakthrough at the time.
iPhone 3GS (June 2009)
The “S,” Steve Jobs said, stood for “speed.” This phone was faster in every way. Its camera got bumped up to three megapixels, and gained a long list of features: auto-focus, tap-to-focus, exposure lock, auto white balance, auto macro shots, “rule of thirds” grid lines, and a 5x digital zoom. A new magnetometer permitted the creation of the Compass app.
Tumblr media
The S in “3GS” stood for speed.
Software: Video recording! And voice control of music playback and dialing.
iPhone 4 (June 2010)
The comfortable rounded plastic back disappeared in this redesigned model, which had crisp edges and hardened glass front and back panels—plus the first “Retina” screen (much higher resolution). A front-facing camera appeared on this model, plus, for the first time, an LED flash.
Apple also added a second microphone, at the top, for noise cancellation during calls, and a gyroscope, which can precisely calculate how you’re turning the phone in space (handy for games).
This was the first iPhone that could run on the CDMA cellular network, the one used by Verizon (VZ) and Sprint (S). Once Apple’s early exclusive contract with AT&T ended in 2011, the iPhone 4 became the first model offered by Verizon and other carriers.
Tumblr media
No more rounded back in the iPhone 4.
Software: iOS 4 introduced FaceTime video conferencing (over WiFi only) and limited multitasking, including an app switcher.
iPhone 4S (October 2011)
This model introduced Siri, the voice assistant that paved the way for Microsoft’s (MSFT) Cortana, Google (GOOG, GOOGL) Assistant, Amazon (AMZN) Echo, and so on. The 4S was, of course, faster, and its camera received its usually resolution bump (to 8 megapixels, good for 1080p hi-def videos).
Tumblr media
The iPhone 4s—starring Siri.
Software: iOS 5 was a big one. It introduced iMessages, the Notification Center, Reminders, built-in Twitter (TWTR), iCloud, and the ability to let nearby computers get online via tethering (Personal Hotspot).
iPhone 5 (September 2012)
The iPhone 5 had a thinner body and taller screen; compatibility with much faster LTE cellular data networks; and a faster, better camera, capable of snapping stills while recording video.
With this phone, Apple eliminated the 30-pin connector that it had used for charging and syncing all iPhones and iPads to date—and replaced it with the tiny Lightning connector. Millions of people had to buy and fuss with adapters.
Tumblr media
The iPhone 5 introduced the Lightning connector for charging.
Software: iOS 6 introduced panorama mode for the Camera app, more Siri commands, one-tap responses to incoming texts and calls (like, “Driving—I’ll call you later”). Apple also replaced Google’s fantastic pre-installed Google Maps app with a shockingly incomplete Apple app. Its guidance was so poor, Apple CEO Tim Cook wound up apologizing for it and suggesting that people use Google Maps instead.
iPhone 5s (September 2013)
Apple’s fingerprint sensor, cleverly embedded in the Home button, let you unlock the phone without a password for the first time. As usual, the camera got better and the processor got faster—its A7 was the first 64-bit chip ever used in a phone. Apple replaced its time-honored, coin-shaped iPhone earbuds with the blobbier AirPods earbuds.
(A budget model, the iPhone 5C, came out at the same time, in a choice of five plastic colors. It was otherwise essentially identical to 2012’s iPhone 5.)
Tumblr media
The iPhone 5s, starring the Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Software: iOS 7 was a huge software release. It introduced a massive and controversial redesign. Its sparse look eliminated “skeuomorphic” design elements, in which on-screen things depict real-world materials (lined yellow paper for Notes, leather binding for Calendar, wooden shelves for iBooks).
iOS 7 also came loaded with new features: AirDrop made it simple to shoot pictures, notes, and contacts among iPhones. Control Center is the panel that slides up from the bottom of the screen to offer commonly used settings. In the Camera app: slow-motion video, zooming while recording, photo filters, and 10-frames-a-second bursts.
iPhone 6 (September 2014)
With this model, Apple followed Samsung’s lead—and went for bigger screens. There were now, for the first time, two iPhones in the same line: the iPhone 6 and the larger 6 Plus. Both had faster chips and Apple Pay (wireless payments at special cash-register terminals). The 6 family gained a barometer to detect altitude changes (?!), and upgraded wireless components that permitted WiFi calling.
The upgraded cameras offered slow-mo video at 240 frames a second (quarter-speed), phase-detection autofocus (faster and more accurate), and optical image stabilization on the 6 Plus. The front-facing camera got better low-light capability, burst mode, and HDR (high dynamic range) ability.
Tumblr media
The iPhone 6 dramatically increased the iPhone’s screen size—and body size
Software: In iOS 8, Apple finally added a row of three next-word guesses above the keyboard, to save typing. The Continuity feature permitted interaction between the phone and a Mac, like calling and texting from the Mac, or copying on one device and pasting on the other. Family Sharing allows up to six family members to share stuff they’ve bought from Apple (music, videos, apps, etc.).
The Camera app gained a self timer and a time-lapse mode, iCloud Drive (Apple’s version of Dropbox) debuted. Eventually, in iOS 8.4, Apple Music came along—its subscription music plan.
iPhone 6S and SE (September 2015)
In addition to the usual speed and camera-resolution enhancements (12 megapixels, 4K video), the 6S and 6S Plus introduced what Apple calls 3D Touch: a pressure-sensitive screen. You can press harder on an app to see a menu of common commands, or peek into links or lists without actually leaving the screen you’re on.
(The iPhone SE packed most of the same features of the 6S into a much smaller body—the traditional iPhone size—to the delight of the small-handed.)
Tumblr media
The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus introduced a pressure-sensitive screen.
Software: The iOS 9 update introduced a front-facing “flash” that works by overcranking the front-facing screen by 3X. It also debuted Live Photos, which are three-second video clips that you can capture with every photo.
iPhone 7 (September 2016)
Most people will probably remember the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus primarily as the phones that killed off the headphone jack. But these models also gained waterproofing (up to 30 minutes under a meter of water), a larger battery, stabilized camera even on the smaller phone, better low-light photos, an array of four LED flashes on the back for greater brightness, stereo speakers, and a Home button that doesn’t actually move, but instead just simulates a click using a vibration motor.
On the iPhone 7 Plus, Apple installed two lenses: one wide-angle, one a 2X zoom. This is true, optical zoom, not the cruddy digital zoom on most previous phones.
Tumblr media
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus had no headphone jack. They’re shown here with what Apple hopes you’ll use instead: the AirPods.
Software: iOS 10 introduced a huge range of small tweaks, and a couple of big ones. First, there has been a colossal revamp of Messages, Apple’s text-messaging app, adding a wide range of visual treats, animations, and effects to dress up your message. Second, iOS 10 requires fewer steps to unlock the phone—for example, to check the latest alerts or fire up the camera.
iPhone 8 and 7S? (September 2017)
Nobody knows for sure what Apple will unveil in the new iPhones on September 12. But the rumor millers seem pretty confident about a few things:
A massive redesign. No more black panels above and below the screen. Instead, a gorgeous OLED screen will extend to all four edges of the phone.
No more Home button. You’ll have to get back to the Home screen, and perform other functions, using new swiping gestures on the screen. (Or maybe there’ll be an on-screen Home button.)
Face ID. You’ll be able to unlock the phone by looking at it.
Pad-based charging. As on the Samsung Galaxy, instead of plugging in a cable, you’ll have the option of setting it down on a pad) to charge. (That’s why front and back will be glass.)
AR features. Augmented reality means seeing graphics overlaid on the camera’s view of the world around you: arrows that show which way to walk to get to the nearest subway stop, for example, or info boxes that identify the prices of apartments in nearby buildings.
Nosebleed price. The number people are kicking around is $1,000. However, there’s also some intel that a less expensive iPhone model or two will be released simultaneously, without the OLED screen.
Software: We already know what iOS 11 will bring, because Apple’s told us! It will be a lot of nips and tucks, like auto-Do Not Disturb when you’re driving; a more real-sounding voice for Siri; screen recording; more compact photo and video formats to save space; and person-to-person payments within the Messages app, like Venmo.
Here’s my complete writeup of iOS 11.
See you on September 12!
We’ll be at Apple’s unveiling show at 10 a.m. Pacific time on September 12, live-blogging the event and posting a complete set of articles, photos, and videos about what’s new.
We’re pretty sure you won’t want to miss it!

The Common Mistakes in Mobile Game Design
With the surprising increase that the marketplace is experiencing on the subject of cell games and programs, it might be secure to say that it has taken the arena by means of hurricane. Day after day an increasing number of of those games are created, developed, produced, published, sold and played. Unfortunately simplest a pick few get to pinnacle the charts and are noticed by means of the masses for an extended period thereby making them surefire hits! Why is that so? How come others get greater interest whilst some do not? no wifi games free Here we can discuss the solutions to the ones questions by way of giving you a list of the not unusual mobile recreation layout mistakes that developers make.
Copy and paste with out haste
Tumblr media
By a long way the most important mistake that many developers devote when designing a game is copying the maximum current and maximum famous release at date. This is a massive no no. Apart from the copyright infringement proceedings that you can face, getting any person else's tough paintings will genuinely be a flop. People will effortlessly apprehend an imitator. It is k to get inspired by something and use it to create something new. That you can do.
Short run is no a laugh
You need to create the sport with the intention to hold sparking hobby in the target audience. The game have to be designed in a way that although all of the obligations had been done, the person continues to be engrossed to preserve gambling time and again. A a success app is described not merely through attaining the pinnacle spot within the market but additionally by way of the duration of time that it has remained there.
Touch screen for the win
Tumblr media
Touch displays are essentially modernized joysticks. Instead of pushing and clicking you get to tap, slide and tilt. The issue is unique devices have distinct features specifically after they run on exclusive structures including the case with iOS and Android. When designing, you have to take note of the screen dimensions, the location of sure buttons which include notifications, WiFi, Bluetooth and so on or in brief the toolbox.
Too an awful lot frolics and antics
Keep the gambling as easy as feasible and ditch the complexity. This does now not but mean that you must reduce off the thrilling features, cool graphics and innovative surroundings. This approach that the manner the sport should be played have to be stored easy. Take the infamous Tap-Tap Revolution. All you have to do is tap on the distinctive button as they sync with the tune and the issue progresses relying on the tune selected. When deigning 3D cellular games, you must take notice that people frequently play those in quick blasts of time in among breaks or on their experience domestic. You do not want to bore your audience down via filling them in with complex mechanics and commands.

When it comes to the holidays, we're as particular as you are about finding just the right gift for everyone on our list. To help you get a head start on your shopping, here are 12 things we would most like to give – or receive – this year!
Bob: Home Protection During the Holidays
Tumblr media
Protection is a priority for those like Bob who aren't always “home for the holidays.” With an automatic water main shutoff system like the leakSmart Automatic Water Shut Off System with Internet control, Bob can rest assured that his home and belongings are protected against water damage before it starts. Leaksmart's sensor-based system detects leaks throughout the home and shuts off the water in less than 5 seconds. The system hub connects to the Internet and sends audible and visible alarms as well as notifications via a smart device app.
Bob's wish list also includes a professional grade DIY security system to safeguard his home against intruders and other safety hazards. A fee-free, internet based security system like Risco's WiComm Internet/Cellular Security System with a cellular backup option lets Bob use an iOS or Android smartphone or a computer to control the system from anywhere. He can also receive email and push notification alerts right to his mobile device .
Dan:
Tumblr media
A Warm Welcome
For ski and snowboard enthusiasts like Dan, the gift of an Internet thermostat lets him live the dream of arriving to a pre-heated ski cabin on cold winter nights. The Venstar T3700 Explorer Residential Digital Thermostat has seven-day, single-day, or five-and- two-day programming. A variety of lighting, language and temperature options allow Dan to customize the unit, and he can choose to connect remotely using either WiFi or Z-Wave technologies by adding one of Venstar's optional wireless modules. All for under $100!
Tumblr media
Laura: A Sound Sleep and Reminder to Take Her Meds
The Marsona Sound Therapy Machine is a thoughtful and unque gift for anyone who has difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, especially those like Laura who suffer from tinnitus. It lulls users with relaxing sounds like falling rain, the ocean's surf or crickets chirping softly. This lightweight, portable machine plugs into a wall outlet or runs on battery power. It also features an automatic timer and sliding volume control.
Laura would also appreciate finding a Med-Q White Digital Pill Box Organizer in her
Tumblr media
stocking. She can easily program the Med-Q with her medication time and it will flash the corresponding day slot with a bright red light. It also sounds an alarm that increases in volume. Features include 14 removable compartments, oversized buttons and large, digital display, and braille marking.
Kris: A Smart Home Upgrade
Kris is wishing for an easy entree into the world of smart homes. The Samsung SmartThings + Leviton Home
Tumblr media
Automation Bundle gives her the ability to easily control the lighting in her home from anywhere in the world. The kit includes the SmartThings hub, a Leviton universal dimmer and a Leviton switch. And because this system is totally expandable and compatible with many WiFi and Z-wave sensors and modules, Kris can add any of hundreds of compatible devices to monitor and protect her property, including lights, speakers, locks, thermostats, sensors and more.
Laura's Mom: Layers of Pool Safety for Her Grandkids
The Safety Turtle 2.0 Child Immersion Pool Alarm System is the easiest way to
Tumblr media
protect little ones around a pool for open water. This “personal immersion” system uses water-activated wristbands that trigger a loud alarm when submerged in water. Laura's mom can use the Safety Turtle at home or carry it to wherever the grandkids will be swimming, including hotels, lakes, a friend's pool or on a boat.
For an added layer of protection, the easy-to-install MagnaLatch ALERT Pool Safety Gate Latch with Alarm is a magnetic latch she can affix to vinyl, metal or wood gate posts. The top-pull model has dual electric warnings when unlatched – bright LED lights and an audible alarm – and a rekeyable lock for extra security and convenience.
Lisa: Fewer Worries About Her New Dog
Tumblr media
The gift of an indoor pet cam would go a long way towards alleviating Lisa's worries about her new dog when she's at work or away from home. Motorola's Digital Wireless Indoor Pet Monitor with two cameras offers a convenient two-way communication feature that will allow Lisa to communicate to her dog without being in the same room. The video monitor has a full color LCD screen and infrared night vision for keeping an eye on things in very low light levels.
Tumblr media
Jim: Vacation Home Peace of Mind
A freeze alarm monitors the temperature inside the home and provides a warning if it dips dangerously low. It's an ideal gift for people like Jim, who owns a vacation home up north that he closes up for the winter. A call-out freeze alarm like the best-selling TempAlarm Dialer Pro sends Jim an alert via a phone call when the indoor temperatures in his home are falling.
A local alarm like the simple-to-use Freeze Flash Temperature Warning
Tumblr media
Light lets Jim put his observant neighbors to work for him! All he has to do is set the low temperature, install the batteries and place the unit in a visible window. When the temperature goes below the set level, the light will flash and attract his neighbors' attention.
Donna: Home Alone Security for Her Dad
The Ring Video Doorbell is tops on Donna's list of gifts for her elderly dad, who lives alone in a town several hours' drive from her. It's like Caller ID for the front
Tumblr media
door and super-simple to use! When the doorbell is pressed or motion is detected, an alert is sent to her dad's smartphone along with streaming live HD video of the visitor outside the door. Ring Video also lets her dad converse with the visitor through the built-in microphone and speakers.
Still looking for the perfect gift?
Click on the Great Gift Ideas tab on the DIYControls home page for more suggestions. Use the lefthand column to shop by price, manufacturer, features and more. It's a handy resource for finding holiday gift ideas for everyone on your list!

Our Staff Picks for Holiday Gifts
When it comes to the holidays, we're as particular as you are about finding just the right gift for everyone on our list. To help you get a head start on your shopping, here are 12 things we would most like to give – or receive – this year!
Bob: Home Protection During the Holidays
Tumblr media
Protection is a priority for those like Bob who aren't always “home for the holidays.” With an automatic water main shutoff system like the leakSmart Automatic Water Shut Off System with Internet control, Bob can rest assured that his home and belongings are protected against water damage before it starts. Leaksmart's sensor-based system detects leaks throughout the home and shuts off the water in less than 5 seconds. The system hub connects to the Internet and sends audible and visible alarms as well as notifications via a smart device app.
Bob's wish list also includes a professional grade DIY security system to safeguard his home against intruders and other safety hazards. A fee-free, internet based security system like Risco's WiComm Internet/Cellular Security System with a cellular backup option lets Bob use an iOS or Android smartphone or a computer to control the system from anywhere. He can also receive email and push notification alerts right to his mobile device .
Dan:
Tumblr media
A Warm Welcome
For ski and snowboard enthusiasts like Dan, the gift of an Internet thermostat lets him live the dream of arriving to a pre-heated ski cabin on cold winter nights. The Venstar T3700 Explorer Residential Digital Thermostat has seven-day, single-day, or five-and- two-day programming. A variety of lighting, language and temperature options allow Dan to customize the unit, and he can choose to connect remotely using either WiFi or Z-Wave technologies by adding one of Venstar's optional wireless modules. All for under $100!
Tumblr media
Laura: A Sound Sleep and Reminder to Take Her Meds
The Marsona Sound Therapy Machine is a thoughtful and unque gift for anyone who has difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, especially those like Laura who suffer from tinnitus. It lulls users with relaxing sounds like falling rain, the ocean's surf or crickets chirping softly. This lightweight, portable machine plugs into a wall outlet or runs on battery power. It also features an automatic timer and sliding volume control.
Laura would also appreciate finding a Med-Q White Digital Pill Box Organizer in her
Tumblr media
stocking. She can easily program the Med-Q with her medication time and it will flash the corresponding day slot with a bright red light. It also sounds an alarm that increases in volume. Features include 14 removable compartments, oversized buttons and large, digital display, and braille marking.
Kris: A Smart Home Upgrade
Kris is wishing for an easy entree into the world of smart homes. The Samsung SmartThings + Leviton Home
Tumblr media
Automation Bundle gives her the ability to easily control the lighting in her home from anywhere in the world. The kit includes the SmartThings hub, a Leviton universal dimmer and a Leviton switch. And because this system is totally expandable and compatible with many WiFi and Z-wave sensors and modules, Kris can add any of hundreds of compatible devices to monitor and protect her property, including lights, speakers, locks, thermostats, sensors and more.
Laura's Mom: Layers of Pool Safety for Her Grandkids
The Safety Turtle 2.0 Child Immersion Pool Alarm System is the easiest way to
Tumblr media
protect little ones around a pool for open water. This “personal immersion” system uses water-activated wristbands that trigger a loud alarm when submerged in water. Laura's mom can use the Safety Turtle at home or carry it to wherever the grandkids will be swimming, including hotels, lakes, a friend's pool or on a boat.
For an added layer of protection, the easy-to-install MagnaLatch ALERT Pool Safety Gate Latch with Alarm is a magnetic latch she can affix to vinyl, metal or wood gate posts. The top-pull model has dual electric warnings when unlatched – bright LED lights and an audible alarm – and a rekeyable lock for extra security and convenience.
Lisa: Fewer Worries About Her New Dog
Tumblr media
The gift of an indoor pet cam would go a long way towards alleviating Lisa's worries about her new dog when she's at work or away from home. Motorola's Digital Wireless Indoor Pet Monitor with two cameras offers a convenient two-way communication feature that will allow Lisa to communicate to her dog without being in the same room. The video monitor has a full color LCD screen and infrared night vision for keeping an eye on things in very low light levels.
Tumblr media
Jim: Vacation Home Peace of Mind
A freeze alarm monitors the temperature inside the home and provides a warning if it dips dangerously low. It's an ideal gift for people like Jim, who owns a vacation home up north that he closes up for the winter. A call-out freeze alarm like the best-selling TempAlarm Dialer Pro sends Jim an alert via a phone call when the indoor temperatures in his home are falling.
A local alarm like the simple-to-use Freeze Flash Temperature Warning
Tumblr media
Light lets Jim put his observant neighbors to work for him! All he has to do is set the low temperature, install the batteries and place the unit in a visible window. When the temperature goes below the set level, the light will flash and attract his neighbors' attention.
Donna: Home Alone Security for Her Dad
The Ring Video Doorbell is tops on Donna's list of gifts for her elderly dad, who lives alone in a town several hours' drive from her. It's like Caller ID for the front
Tumblr media
door and super-simple to use! When the doorbell is pressed or motion is detected, an alert is sent to her dad's smartphone along with streaming live HD video of the visitor outside the door. Ring Video also lets her dad converse with the visitor through the built-in microphone and speakers.
