This series of posts will walk you through the process of figuring out whether or not you can cancel your cable or satellite subscription.
As much as cable and satellite providers would like you to think they're the only ones with the good content, you do have other options.
These devices take content from the Internet to display on your TV.
We're not giving up the fight! These links take you to resources supporting the campaign to get Google to bring back Classic Maps.
While none of these alternative sites are perfect replacements for Classic Maps, they're what we've got for now. I haven't checked most of these out personally yet, but I'm linking to them anyway in case you find them helpful for your purposes.
Yeah, I hate 'em too... But if we're going to be stuck with them at least for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on some tutorial posts to try to make them a little less painful.
While my main phone is Android, I’ve had an iPhone for a while because some apps are only available in iOS, or updated first, and I wanted to be able to test certain things on it for this blog. For a long time, I almost never used it, but for some reason after I started playing Pokémon GO, I tried using it and discovered it was a better experience (faster, smoother, etc.)
So now it’s my primary PoGo phone and since the game is mostly played outdoors, I often take pictures of things I see on my walks. When iOS 9 came out in 2015, it introduced a new feature called Live Photos, which creates 3-second videos when you take a picture (1-1/2 seconds on either side). So when you look at the photo, there’s a little movement, even for what you think of as a still photo.
I’m not sure why, but I just don’t like the feature. If I want to take a video, I’ll take a video. The Forbes article linked to below gives you a few other reasons why you might not want to use Live Photos, not least of which is that it greatly increases the file size of every one of your photos.
How (And Why) To Turn Off Live Photos On Your iPhone
To turn Live Photos on or off, all you need to do is tap the Live Photos icon, which is yellow when it’s on.
That’s obviously easy enough, but by default even when you do turn it off, it comes back on the next time you open the Camera app. That’s a problem. 🙂
It took me forever to figure out how to keep it off permanently because there’s no setting for it within the app itself. Instead, you need to go the main Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings and select whether you want Live Photos to keep the setting you last had when you closed the app or whether you want it to revert to the default mode of restarting the feature each time.
NOTE: There are two other options you can use Preserve Settings with: the camera mode (Photo, Square, Video, etc.) and the filter you last used.
