Tripmode calls itself the “mobile data saviour” and honestly, that is quite true in my personal case. But first let me tell you what it does – Tripmode blocks every service or app from using the internet connection your PC or Mac is linked to. You can then individually select which apps can access the data and the rest will remain banished until you turn it off. Tripmode also cuts off your computer’s core components which is one of the major attraction for me due to Windows 10’s aggressive policies....

In Summary Contrary to what some agencies said, Gartner claims that smartphone sales actually dipped even in Q4 2020, in spite of the “holiday season.” Gartner’s report refers to actual sales rather than shipments.

Hardware-wise, the sensors on the Pixel 2 can be considered incremental. But dive deep into the software, and you’ll realize how far Google has come by investing the majority of its resources in software. One of the key representations of this is the new Portrait Mode.

What is the cause for full-screen pop-up ads? Adware like these are invasive and due to the nature of the app displaying them, seldom would a user be able to tell what’s causing this issue. The reason behind this is that you probably installed a new app and like most of us do, you probably agreed to grant all the permissions the app asked for in haste, one of them being the permission to draw over other apps....
