    This Mac App Lets You Import Photos From Any Smartphone
    Looking to get photos off an iPhone, iPad, or Android phone and onto your Mac, without using cloud storage or the Photos app? You'd be forgiven if, after plugging one of those devices into your computer, you though doing so wasn't possible without resorting to third party software, but it is. You just need to fire up a little application called Image Capture, which you can find in the Applications folder on your Mac.I was recently trying to import photos from multiple devices after a vacationan iPhone, an Android phone, and an iPad. I don't have a paid iCloud subscription, so using that was out of the question (and in any case, iCloud isn't supported on Android). But all of those devices, as well as traditional digital cameras, are supported by Image Capture.Just launch Image Capture on your computer and plug in your phone or tabletyou should see it appear in the sidebar. You may need to unlock the device if you're using an iPhone or enable USB file sharing if you're using an Android device. That finished, you can then simply select which photos you want to grab.By default, the application will put everything in the Mac;s Photos app, but that's not mandatoryyou can choose to import them to a folder on your computer instead. Just click the Import To drop-down and choose where you want to put the photos. There are a few pre-set folders, or you can click Other to choose any folder on your device. Credit: Justin Pot You can optionally set Image Capture to delete photos from your phone after the import process is complete, which can be useful when you're running out of storage space. And there's a button for quick rotations, though no other editing featuresyou'll have to handle all that after the import is complete. As simple as it is, this is a tool I was really happy to find already installed on my machine. The Android support is particularly notable, because it meant I didn't need to install any third party software in order to grab my photos. Give it a try the next time you're bringing together photos from multiple devices.

    Make Your Yard Look More Polished With Garden Edging
    Fall is a little about futility; with all the leaves blowing about, its hard to keep a tidy yard no matter how much you work at it. One thing that helps, though, is garden edging: a raised liner that goes around the edge of your garden beds. It creates clean lines and helps hold in the dirt, mulch, and leaves in the bed itself. Its quite easy to install and now, when the ground is soft from the rain but not frozen from the cold, is the perfect time to install it.Choose the materialsOne of the things I like about edging is that you dont have to choose expensive materials to get a great effect. There are wooden, rubber, and composite edging products, although in commercial settings, you tend to see Corten steel. Metal definitely has some benefits in terms of longevity and toughness, but its also inherently less flexible, and flexibility is something you may want if your beds dont have right angles. Youll also want to think about the overall height of the product you choose, since they tend to vary.Measure the beds you want to add edging to, and make sure you order an extra 10% of lengthand Id advise ordering extra supports as well (theyre specific to the kind of edging you purchase).Prepare the bedAll the edging has a serrated edge or stakes that go into the ground, but if you were to just use the serration or stakes to stabilize and secure the edging, it would sit too high above the rest of the bed. You could fill the bed to that level, but you shouldntthis will require a lot of material and will bury your tree trunks. A better way to install the edging is to dig a trench around your beds, and plant the edging into that trench, so enough rises above the bed to act as a border and hold in the materials in the bed. The best tools for this job are a trenching shovel, which digs a narrow channel, and a flat spade, which you can stand on to slice down into the soil in a straight line. This will give you the perfect place to set up your edging, and it should nestle right into the space left by the spade. Use the trenching shovel to place the dirt back around the edging, and use your feet or a tamper to compact the soil around the edging (ask your neighbors before purchasing a tamper; its the sort of rarely used tool someone always has stashed in a garage from a project).Make sure the edging is straight up and down, not leaning over. Use the appropriate amount of supports; each kit will tell you how often to use a support. Even if the edging looks solid, over time the weight of the garden and shifting soil can affect the shape the edging takes, and that throws off the effect. The supports will keep it in place.Reinforce edges and cornersOne of the keys to the edging looking clean and remaining effective is to make sure corners and where two pieces of edging join are solidly fastened together. Different systems use different methods for this. Some steel edging has notches that attach one piece to another, while composite and rubber edging pieces usually just overlap at a support. Since you dont want the pieces to overlap at a corner, plan accordingly as you lay out the edging. For steel pieces that fit together, fasten them before you fit them into the ground; its easier to manipulate when theyre free.Dont leave any sharp cornersFor Corten steel, if the edging doesnt meet itself (for instance, it dead ends at a walkway), make sure the metal is not taller than the walkwayit would become very easy to trip over or get scratched on. A better solution is to cut the steel at an angle so it meets the sidewalk or ground.

The centerpiece is a ride called Mine Cart Madness, named after the best level in the 1994 SNES game Donkey Kong Country. After being blasted out of a barrel cannon, you'll take a mine cart ride through the jungle that includes a "leap across a collapsed track" as Nintendo showed in a render earlier this year.Tune in on 11/11 at 2 p.m. PT for a SUPER NINTENDO WORLD Direct livestream!

    This App Automatically Hides Faces and Obscures Metadata From Photos
    Between facial recognition technology and your phone's habit of embedding metadata (including geolocation data) in every picture you take, sharing photos can feel like forfeiting any chance at privacy.Sometimes you want to share a photo with the public web but don't want to share the location in which it was taken, or any facesif there's a child in the photo, say, or if you didn't get a chance to ask everyone permission to post the image online. Discretion is an indie app for Mac and iOS from developer David Kennedy that automatically hides faces and strips photos of all identifying metadata.Hide faces in a single stepUsing the app is simple. Just open it and add any photoyou'll see that all faces are covered up immediately. Credit: Justin Pot By default, faces are covered with a grey circle. You can change the default filter to a different color or, for the paid version, an emoji in the settings; alternatively, you can change each person to a different color and/or emoji. You can also change the size of the circles if you need to, though in my testing the app did a good job of covering up all the identifiable features. Credit: Justin Pot Strip away metadataDiscretion's other big feature is metadata removal. Photos taken by modern phones embed all kinds of info right in the filethe camera you used, for one thing, but also the exact GPS coordinate where the photo was taken. Discretion strips all of this stuff out. Here's a before and after comparison of a photo I ran through the app: Credit: Justin Pot As you can see, all kinds of details have been removed, from the device used to take the photo, to the camera settings, to the latitude and longitude. This kind of metadata stripping is worth considering even if you're not interested in the face obscuring feature (which you can turn off in the settings).Discretion's free version works well. The paid version adds batch processing and emoji filters for faces; it costs $1.99 per year or $4.99 for a lifetime subscription.

    Sonos Arc Ultra review: New tech powers a big audio upgrade
    2024 has been a rough year for Sonos. The companys would-be triumphant entry into the crowded headphones market was overshadowed by a disastrous app redesign. In the fallout of the botched software update, the company decided to delay products that were ready to be shipped to give itself more time to right the course. Consumer trust eroded, and people who already owned Sonos gear were living in a cycle of constant frustration. Thanks to a number of rumors, we already knew that one of the pending product releases was the Arc Ultra ($999). A few weeks ago the company decided not to wait any longer to reveal it. While the design is mostly unchanged from the Arc that debuted in 2020, there are several key changes on the inside that make this a better all-in-one solution for people who dont want to add more speakers to their living room setup. Sonos is promising better bass performance thanks to new speaker tech thats debuting in the Arc Ultra, but just how good can it be? Design The refined design of the original Arc was a massive upgrade from that of the Playbar, and showed a progression from Sonos compact Beam soundbar. Honestly, the aesthetic is pretty timeless, in my opinion, and its a look that should age well for years to come. That said, it makes sense that Sonos would keep the design for the Arc Ultra, only making some minor changes to the exterior. The Arc Ultra still comes in both black and white options, allowing you to choose what looks best in your living room or home theater. Sonos updated the controls to mirror whats available on the newer Era 100 and Era 300 speakers, moving them to a top-facing bar at the back. Theres a volume slider on the right with play/pause and skip controls in the center. On the left side, Sonos gives you a microphone control so you can mute the built-in mics as needed. And thats really it in terms of design changes that you can see. The Arc Ultra is slightly shorter height-wise than the Arc, and its a little wider than its predecessor. Neither of which make a huge difference, and they wont drastically change how you position the speaker beneath your TV. Sonos' new sound motion woofer is situated on the right side of the soundbar Sonos Inside, Sonos has re-engineered the Arc Ultra to improve audio performance. The biggest piece of this overhaul is the new Sound Motion woofer that enables better bass performance before you add a standalone wireless sub. The achievement here, thanks to the acquisition of audio company Mayht, is that the new component lays flat, taking up less room than a traditional cone-shaped woofer. The Sound Motion driver also helps deliver increased clarity and depth, on top of doubling the bass output of the original Arc. Sonos redesigned the entire acoustic architecture of the Arc Ultra during the process of adding the Sound Motion woofer. The soundbar now houses three more drivers than the arc, a list that includes seven tweeters (two of which are upfiring), six mid-range drivers (midwoofers, as Sonos calls them) and the aforementioned woofer for a total of 14. The company also employs 15 Class-D digital amplifiers along with far-field mics for tuning and voice control. Theres still only a single HDMI (eARC) port, which allows most modern TVs the ability to control the soundbars volume and mute options from your TV remote. Moreover, the Arc Ultra is compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and newly-added Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity allows you to stream from any device. And of course, AirPlay 2 is still on the spec sheet. One last thing Ill mention here is that the Arc Ultra doesnt ship with an optical adapter if you prefer that connection. The company will sell you one for $25. Software and features Since the Arc Ultra is a Sonos product, there are a lot of core features that are the same as they are on the companys other devices. You can use the soundbar as part of a multiroom setup and Trueplay tuning is here to adjust the audio to the acoustics of the room. Theres still an adjustable EQ with options for bass, treble and loudness and a Night Sound mode makes things less boomy when someone in your house may be trying to work or sleep. While Trueplay will give you the best sound customization for the sonic characteristics of your living room, Sonos is enabling a Quick Tune feature for the first time on the Arc Ultra. Here, the soundbar will use its internal mics, as opposed to your phone, to offer a certain degree of improvement. The company says it wanted to give people the option of something quicker than Trueplay, although the full-fledged tuning process doesnt take very long at all. Speech Enhancement has been a handy feature on Sonos soundbars for a while, giving you the ability to improve dialog clarity as needed. Before now, it was an all-or-nothing feature, but on the Arc Ultra, the company introduced three levels of speech boost to give you more options to better suit your needs. This means the soundbar can help you hear clearly over background noise or simply follow along better by elevating dialog above the rest of the soundtrack mix. Sonos moved the controls to a bar along the back Billy Steele for Engadget The trademark feature of Sonos Ace headphones is the ability to beam the audio from a compatible soundbar to the cans for a private home theater. That TV Audio Swap tool is available on the Arc Ultra, so you can instantly send the sound to the headphones with the press of a button. In fact, Sonos bundles the Arc Ultra and Ace headphones in a $1,373 set. Whats more, the Ace supports spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, so you can count on immersive sound even when youre employing it on an individual basis. Despite all of the problems that Sonos has had with its app, some of which it's still working to resolve, I didn't encounter any issues during my testing. The software crashed on me once when the Trueplay tuning process completed, but everything had already run its course and I didnt have to repeat it. Other than that, the app has worked reliably over the last week while Ive been putting the Arc Ultra through its paces. Most importantly, the software is stable and the full suite of controls for the new soundbar is available at launch. Sound performance The original Arc already sounded great, so Sonos really had its work cut out for it to further improve the audio quality for the Arc Ultra. Thanks to the improved bass of the Sound Motion tech, a change that also takes up less space, the company says it had the ability to then overhaul the mid-range and high-frequency components as well. By using multiple sizes of mid-range drivers and tweeters, Sonos was able to tweak the speaker positioning inside of the soundbar for improved projection and more immersive sound. In addition to the enhanced bass performance, the second thing that was immediately apparent on the Arc Ultra was those improvements to the dimensional sound. Whether it was a quidditch match in a Harry Potter movie or zooming F1 cars in Drive to Survive, the soundbar now has better directional, immersive sound than its predecessor. Sonos says the Arc Ultra now renders Dolby Atmos content in a 9.1.4-channel setup, versus 5.0.2 with the Arc, which further contributes to the enveloping audio. Interestingly, I havent seen any of the competition claim four up-firing channels from the soundbar like Sonos does here (those that do are usually accounting for up-firing drivers in the rear speakers). You can really hear the difference from the second you fire up the Arc Ultra, and the effect is consistent across content sources. There's still just one HDMI port, but Bluetooth connectivity is now included Billy Steele for Engadget The increased bass performance makes the Arc Ultra a much better speaker for music without a separate subwoofer. You wont get the bombastic low-end tone the newly updated Sonos Sub 4 can produce, but theres enough from the soundbar to give Kaytranadas Timeless, Phantograms Memory of a Day and Bilmuris American Motor Sports plenty of booming backbone when a track demands it. Theres also still the trademark Sonos clarity Ive come to expect over the years, which means finer details like the texture of synths, layered guitars and the nuance of acoustic instruments cut through the mix cleanly. And speaking of clarity, the companys new Speech Enhancement settings are also a big improvement. Being able to select how much of a boost this feature offered depending on either my needs right then or based on the overall tuning of the content is really nice. It allowed me to max out the dialog when watching movies after my toddler was asleep so that speech didnt suffer when sound effects were louder during intense scenes of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The competition Theres no doubt the Arc Ultra packs in deeper, more immersive sound than its predecessor, but some people will still want a more robust setup to wring every ounce of audio out of a Sonos living room setup. The high-end choice for this is what Sonos calls the Ultimate Immersive Set, which includes the Arc Ultra, two Era 300s and the Sub 4. Right now, that will cost you $2,561. For something less expensive, you can get the Arc Ultra and the new Sub 4 (normally $799) for $1,708 (Premium Entertainment Set). And therein lies the biggest problem with Sonos soundbars: expanding your living room setup to get the most immersive experience gets very pricey very quickly when the centerpiece is already $999. If you can live without all the conveniences of Sonos products, you can get an all-in-one package from Samsung for $1,500. With the Q990D, youll get the soundbar, two rear speakers and a wireless subwoofer in the same box. The setup offers 11.1.4 audio for excellent Atmos sound, thanks in part to up-firing drivers in the rear speakers. Samsung offers a host of handy features, from Q-Symphony audio with TV speakers, SpaceFit Sound Pro room calibration, Adaptive Sound audio enhancement, a dedicated gaming mode and more. The Q990D remains my top pick for the best soundbars for a lot of reasons, a key one being everything you could need comes in one all-inclusive package. Wrap-up The Arc Ultra is an obvious improvement over the Arc in the sonic department. New technology delivers on its promise to boost bass, clarity and immersive before you start adding extra components. Expanded features like Speech Enhancements and a quick-tune option offer new tools for dialing in the sound, while the stock Sonos experience remains intact. And thankfully, that includes an app thats more stable than it was a few months ago. The Arc Ultra is still pricey at $999, but it exhibits a lot more sonic prowess than its predecessor for only $100 more.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/audio/speakers/sonos-arc-ultra-review-new-tech-powers-a-big-audio-upgrade-130011149.html?src=rss

    Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against a streamer called EveryGameGuru, accused of streaming gameplays of pirated games before they were even released and of providing viewers access to piracy tools and illegal copies of the games.EveryGameGuru allegedly streamed Mario & Luigi: Brothership across five days, weeks before its official release on November 7. After Nintendo had the videos taken down from various platforms, including YouTube, they continued live streaming on Loco and even included a QR code for their CashApp handle.Nintendo said EveryGameGuru sent the company an email, saying it has a thousand burner channels and can do this all day.Dont anger the house of Mario!
