Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L review: Build the exact bag you want with superior customization
Peak Design's Everyday Backpack has been one of the best tech bags out there for a while, but how does it stack up to competition?
Peak Design's Everyday Backpack V2 20L is a storied backpack that has been loved by camera and tech professionals for years. So, is it worth the hype? For the right person, it is. I've been using the Everyday Backpack on-and-off for a few weeks now, especially in situations where I need something more than a midsize messenger or a lightweight backpack. The Everyday Backpack's calling card is its modularity, since the bulk of the bag's 20L capacity can be split up with FlexFold dividers. However, while the FlexFold dividers offer a lot of customization, they can also be somewhat limiting.

Insta360 Ace Pro review: large sensor makes difference
Insta360's new action camera brings a 1/1.3-inch image sensor, significantly larger than the GoPro Hero 12 Black's 1/1.9-inch
Insta360 makes what are widely considered the best 360 cameras on the market. But while the company has dabbled in the action-camera realm before, they were hybrid attempts that suffered from being "jacks of all trades, masters of none." This changes with the Insta360 Ace Pro, a dedicated action camera with some impressive hardware.
Why you should use a digital camera instead of a webcam
Webcams are often taken for granted since they are built-in to many computers. However, a digital camera will work much better.
A webcam is a critical computer component, especially with so many people working remotely. But built-in webcams are often very low-quality and many desktop monitors don't even have a camera. The solution is using a common digital camera like you probably carried in the mid-2000s. These cameras are still very useful and can deliver great results.

Microsoft’s Surface Pro X cameras aren't working, but luckily there's a temporary fix
It's not just you, the Surface Pro X is experiencing a major issue with its cameras right now.
It's been some time since we've seen the Surface Pro X in the headlines. The original and refreshed models offered an excellent design that came in a compact size, that also offered fantastic battery life. However, what really limited the Surface Pro X was that it only supported the installation of 32-bit (x86) apps and 64-bit (Arm64) apps. With all that said, it looks like the Surface Pro X has popped resurfaced in the news, and this time, it's because the cameras on the device have stopped working. The reports of the issue are fairly fresh, and it looks like Microsoft is aware of the problem. Thankfully, if you need to use your cameras ASAP, there is a temporary workaround that should get you up and running.

Your Android phone may seamlessly work as a webcam with upcoming software update
A Continuity Camera-like feature could arrive to future Android smartphones, giving users a seamless way to transform their devices into webcams.
Although details are scarce at this point, we know that Android 14 is coming. While you can currently use smartphones and full-fledged cameras as webcams, most require some additional software or even hardware to do so. This is why Apple's Continuity Camera is so great, because it allows you to take existing products, and pair them together through the magic of software. Of course, there are some requirements, but it's extremely convenient. Now, an Android equivalent may be on the horizon, as newly discovered commits to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) Gerrit have hinted that this could be coming in the near future.

How to Enable and Use Portrait Mode on your Android or iPhone
Here's how you can enable portrait mode on your phone and use it to click pictures of people or other subjects with a background blur.
Dual cameras have been around on Android as far back as 2011, and devices like the HTC One M8 from 2014 popularized the idea of using the second camera for depth information. But it was Apple that truly solidified the concept of dual rear cameras with the launch of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus back in 2016. What followed was probably every single smartphone OEM jumping onto the bandwagon and launching phones with dual cameras. No matter what the secondary sensor did, it almost became mandatory for brands to include it to keep up with the trend.
