Because KillDisk can run from a disc, it can even be used to erase a hard drive that has your operating system installed to it. More About KillDisk You can use KillDisk either from a disc or from inside the operating system like a normal program. Boot Disk Creator is what you need to open to make the bootable program. If using the bootable version, you can erase a whole hard drive at once (even if it has an operating system installed to it), but the interface is text-only....

Overall Findings Design: Kindle Fire Is More Comfortable There are several factors to consider when looking at the design of the tablets. The first is the size and weight of the device. Both weigh nearly the same with the Nexus 7 being a fraction thinner and a bit lighter. Holding the two side by side, it’s difficult to tell the difference. The Nexus 7 is a bit taller when held in portrait mode while the Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch is a bit wider....

The game takes various components from previous Mario Party games but if—like me—you’ve only ever dabbled in the series, Mario Party Superstars still serves as a great introduction to the party game. There’s also no need to have much experience with games before, meaning this is an ideal title to pull out when less-experienced gamers are visiting. It’s got “future holiday season tradition” written all over it. Part Board Game, Part Minigame Collection Mario Party Superstars plays out like the best kind of board game....

The Surface Adaptive Kit is essentially a bunch of stick-on accessories for Microsoft’s latest tablets. It consists of Braille-inspired tactile stickers—called bump labels—keycap labels, adhesive brackets with wrist straps, and colored port and plug labels. They’re sold as an accessibility add-on, and that’s exactly right. These make devices more accessible for anyone, and they’re so good they should be available for all devices. “I think this is one time that Microsoft got the jump on Apple....

This week, Native Union announced its Belt Cable Duo, a hammerhead cable that can charge almost any device. The absurd thing is that a basic USB-C cable could do the same job for all your devices except your iPhone and maybe an older iPad. It’s a neat illustration of what happens when “innovation” is allowed to run unchecked by the consumer protections provided by law. “Big tech companies often have a significant amount of power and influence, and it is important for governments to ensure that they are acting in the best interests of consumers and society as a whole,” social website operator and startup founder Brandon Mackie told Lifewire via email....

Cameras like the Z9 pack in an almost absurd array of options and powerful tools. A camera is no longer a simple box and lens, with a shutter to let the light in. It’s a full-fledged computer (and in the case of the Z9, it doesn’t even have a physical shutter), with all the complexity that brings. So how do pros make use of these options, and does anyone need them?...

ProMotion is a huge deal for the Mac. It makes everything smoother, saves battery power, and even makes old movies look better. But without a touch screen or Apple Pencil, is it as necessary on the Mac as on the iPad and iPhone? “Today, the majority of displays refresh 60 times per second (60Hz), regardless of what’s on the screen—a video game, a movie, or a text document. The ProMotion technology in the new MacBooks Pro adapts the refresh rate to match what’s on the screen,” Serg Krivoblotsky, technological R&D lead at software developer MacPaw, told Lifewire via direct message....

Unlike formatting options that allow you to change the number of decimal places displayed without changing the value in the cell, the MROUND function, like Google Sheets’ other rounding functions, alters the value of the data. Thus, using this function to round data affects the results of calculations. The MROUND Function’s Syntax and Arguments A function’s syntax refers to the layout of the function and includes the function’s name, brackets, and arguments....

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are, in a lot of ways, the first truly competitive Bluetooth earbuds dedicated to the Android platform. That isn’t to say the original Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Live aren’t excellent true wireless headphones. But with the latest Pro-level release, Samsung is finally bringing the full slate of features into the mix, making them a viable option for those who want the convenience of AirPods Pro but own Galaxy devices....

The JetBot 90 AI+, unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show Monday, can automatically empty its dustbin and even keep an eye on pets. The bot uses an object recognition algorithm to try to identify objects and map the safest, most efficient route. The vacuum is one of several smart home devices that Samsung unveiled at today’s show. AI is “about being more personal and predictive,” Sebastian Seung, the head of Samsung Research, said during Monday’s virtual press conference....

An extensive study into the top 100,000 websites revealed that many leaked information people entered in the site forms to third-party trackers before people even pressed the submit button. It found thousands of such websites that leaked everything from email addresses to passwords, though thankfully, many fixed the issues once the researchers contacted them. “It is concerning to see websites leaking passwords,” Rick McElroy, Principal Cybersecurity Strategist at VMware, told Lifewire over email, reacting to the research....

The new policy is the first of its kind to punish people harassing others on platforms outside of Twitch. While streamers haven’t seen an immediate effect of the policy, they are hopeful it will change the culture of harassing across social media. “It’s an incredibly bold step for Twitch to codify this and to actually put it down in writing,” Twitch streamer Veronica Ripley, aka Nikatine, told Lifewire over the phone....

Launched during October’s MacBook Pro Unleashed event, Apple’s new $4.99-per-month Apple Music Voice Plan is designed to be used only with your voice. You can ask your device to play specific playlists, songs, or albums, but the feature set is restricted—you can’t view lyrics, stream lossless audio, or try Spatial Audio, for example. So while you do have access to Apple Music’s entire catalog, the restrictions might not be worth saving $5 per month on the full subscription cost....

Godzilla 2014 As of now the only game based on the upcoming Godzilla (2014) flick is a dinky mobile puzzle thing, which is hard to really get too excited for. Instead, we’ll have to be satisfied with older Godzilla releases. Godzilla Kaiju Daikessen The rest of the games on this list were released in the U.S., but a list of the best Godzilla games would be seriously flawed if it didn’t include the Japanese-only Kaiju Daikessen for Super Famicom (SNES)....
