A few months ago, I wrote that the telephoto camera is the only lens that matters any more, at least when it comes to Ultra-class flagships. As phones got better, cameras became where manufacturers tried to stand out. As cameras got better, telephoto lenses became the next point of focus. The most recent Ultra phones […]
like the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil, numerous USB-C devices can enhance your iPad’s functionality. Furthermore, as Apple continues to elevate iPad features through enhanced software updates, such as an advanced Files app and compatibility with third-party SSDs and microphones, users can accomplish much more on their devices than they could just a few years back.
In this overview, we will discuss some of the most sought-after selections available, as well as gadgets that the BGR team has been utilizing on their personal iPads for work, individual projects, or simply to capitalize on the iPad’s capabilities.
If you rely on your iPad as your primary device and frequently engage in activities involving your voice, such as attending meetings, producing podcasts, or showcasing songs, then the Sennheiser Professional Profile is one of the most impressive tools you can acquire for your iPad. With USB-C compatibility, you can connect this microphone directly to your Mac or iPad, and it’s ready for use without the need for extra software or an interface. If you want to adjust audio settings, you can do so using the physical buttons on this device, making it one of the most professional and user-friendly accessories available for your iPad.
Among its features, this Sennheiser microphone comes equipped with a mute option, gain control for adjusting mic volume, a mix control for balancing voice and iPad audio, and a volume adjustment for those monitoring the experience with
replacement for television audio. However, a soundbar is simply not comparable to a surround sound speaker system when it comes to home theater audio.
A surround sound system offers separation and detail that soundbars are unable to replicate because they can only mimic multiple speakers. While some soundbars may do a decent job of simulating sound, it will never truly match the experience — there is, after all, just one speaker. Envision a nighttime scene in the woods. A whisper is heard distinctly on a center channel speaker. On the left and right speakers, you detect a soft piano and corresponding footsteps. Then a branch breaks behind you through the rear left speaker. You react. That same noise via a soundbar sounds more artificial. It does not genuinely come from behind you; instead, it is reflected off your walls to imitate the directional audio of that left rear speaker. You hear the branch snapping, yet it lacks precision. You don’t react.
Additionally, there is the subwoofer. Numerous soundbars now include a subwoofer. However, it is not always a true powered subwoofer, which can provide low frequencies that shake you while preserving layered tonal sounds and adapting to new low frequencies. Reflect on the opening scene of “Top Gun” where the deep rumble of jets aligns with the synthesized bass of “Danger Zone.” A soundbar’s subwoofer is more prone to muffle or distort it than a powered subwoofer.

I don’t always update the BIOS of my system, but when I do, I always make sure to waste several hours doing so. Last time I did that was in 2020, but this happened again when I updated the BIOS for the Khadas Mind 2 to test it with the Mind xPlay display and Mind Graphics 2 dock. Khadas provides the BIOS with instructions to update the Mind 2 mini PC, and it’s supposed to take five minutes, but I ended up wasting two about hours… The first step is to download and extract a zip file (mind-2-bios-v1.07-260122.zip), then start the Flash_BIOS upgrade program, and finally wait for the upgrade to complete. That part went great. No problem, but when the system rebooted, I was greeted by a BitLocker window asking me to enter a recovery key to carry on with the boot process. There’s no way to avoid this, […]
