But the four new phones also have another feature that’s going to change how you transfer your phone number over to the iPhone 14. Instead of a small plastic SIM card, Apple has gone all in on using an eSIM. There isn’t even a SIM card tray on the iPhone 14 at all; it just doesn’t exist. Also: eSIM vs SIM: What’s the difference? If you upgrade to the new iPhone 14, the process for converting your SIM card to an eSIM will vary, but in my early experience, the process is straightforward and simple....

The IRS used facial recognition software from ID.me to analyze the selfies after signing an $86 million contract with the company. Civil rights groups and members of Congress from both parties questioned how the IRS could begin the use of facial recognition without advance warning....

A test of consumer knowledge was performed as part of the study in which respondents were asked to select one of seven definitions of what constitutes a fully automated vehicle (AV), per the parameters set down by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Of the seven available definitions, only two were accurate. In J.D. Power’s testing, just 37% of respondents selected one of the two correct answers, while 55% selected descriptions of what would be considered “driver assist technology,” a lower level of automation that can currently be found in capabilities like lane assist, active cruise control, and automated parallel parking....

The battery inside your Mac notebook is a consumable component. What that means is that over time and with usage, it will chemically age, affecting how much power it can store (which translates in the real world into how long your notebook will run for) and how much peak power it can output. While age is a key factor in this aging, factors such as temperature and charging history also play a part....

On the connectivity front, the hub comes with a single 4K 30Hz HDMI, a 100W Power Delivery USB-C port, a USB-C data port, microSD/SD card reader slots, and two USB 3.0 ports. It also comes with a 20cm USB-C cable attached. Initially, I thought this to be a weak link because if this broke the hub is trash, but after over a year of hard use, it’s still like new....

Also: The two smart devices I will never install in my house Currently, these devices aren’t readily compatible with each other. Some tinkerers set up a bridge, like HomeBridge, or an automation via IFTTT to get incompatible devices like these to work with each other.

These courses were delivered between April to August 2020. Medcast director Stephen Barnett attributed the organisation’s ability to launch and deliver these courses in such a short period of time to the tech overhaul the company completed five years ago....

Please Describe the Background Behind CyGov CyGov was founded 2 years ago.
