Check to see if your TV is on ”Game Mode”

Before we direct you to buy anything, check to see if your TV is actually on Game Mode. This mode is almost universal in the TV industry today, and its sole purpose is to disable a lot of the unnecessary image processing so you can cut down on any latency issues, something which could improve your audio issues.

On your TV, go to the menu where you change viewing scenes. Usually, you’ll see other modes like ”sports” and ”vibrant,” among others.

How do you quickly call emergency services and notify your emergency contacts on your iPhone? With Apple’s SOS feature.

Wherever you are in the world, there is likely access to some sort of emergency service for police, medical, or fire help. Different locations around the world have different call numbers for emergency services. Instead of having to know the local emergency service number, or waiting to be redirected from the number you’ve just called (like 911), you can be directly connected to the emergency number wherever you are, and have your location shared in the U.S. (in iOS 12) using a shortcut on your iPhone.

This feature is called Emergency SOS, and we hope you never have to use it — but in case you ever do, here’s how.

Some folks are just a little reticent to put their credit card information on their Nintendo Switch. Perhaps it’s because you have a child who regularly uses the Switch and you don’t want to make it easy for them to ”accidentally” buy a bunch of loot boxes. Or maybe you would rather keep your credit card information separate for safety reasons.

Whatever your reasoning for your desire to keep a separation of card and Switch, it can pose a problem when you want to pay for things. For instance, with the recent launch of Nintendo Switch Online, you may be wondering if you can pay for your subscription without a card. The short and fortunate answer is yes.

Time to upgrade your tablet.

Woot has a couple of iPad Pro models on sale today with prices starting at just $300. The devices featured are 2016’s first-generation iPad Pro with a 9.7-inch display and come with a 90-day Woot warranty.

For $299.99, you can get your hands on a refurbished Rose Gold iPad Pro with 32GB of internal storage. It would have set you back $729 brand new when it was released. If storage is more of a priority for you, the other option on sale is a Space Gray iPad Pro with 128GB storage space. That gives you plenty more space for movies, games, photos, and more for $359.99.

Both feature Apple’s powerful A9X processor — perfect for editing high-definition video or working on art and design projects. It also supports the Apple Pencil if you want to use its screen as your sketchbook, and its stereo speaker array turns it into an excellent movie-watching device.

While the 9.7-inch iPad Pro size was replaced by the 10.5-inch model in 2017 and the 11-inch ver…
