Windows 11 features a QR code scanner.

 

Windows 11 QR code scanner:


    Windows 11 has a new feature in its camera application. I am running Windows 11 version 22000.556 in the developer channel on a Samsung Galaxy Book Flex Alpha. The camera application has a QR code scanner.

How To Access Scanner?


1. Make sure you are on the correct build. Do this by doing Windows Key + R and typing “winver”


2. Open the camera application. If you do not see the QR code icon, check for updates.

A video icon and the camera shutter and the QR code scanner icon on a black background.


3. If you see the QR code-shaped icon , click it!!


This QR code scanner is an interesting feature. If you ever have a physical QR code on a printout at a coffee shop or another location and do not want to pull out your phone to scan it.


Tech Talk To You Later!!

Shortwave Email Client Review And Giveaway

Image
Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a review of Shortwave. Shortwave gave us some promotion codes, and we are doing a giveaway for three months of Shortwave Standard, read on to find out more.   Shortwave is an email client that can connect to Gmail. I opted to try the free plan which means the last 90 days of the email will be imported into Shortwave. Shortwave has a paid plan and one that is coming to companies soon.  There is a desktop, IOS, and beta Android application.  UI      Shortwave offers a different user experience than Gmail. It uses different terminology and has all the emails lined up vertically instead of horizontally on the web application. The desktop application is a Progressive Web Application and looks exactly the same as the Online Application. The new way of doing things is shown in the sidebar. Shortwave calls archived emails, 'done' and have threaded messaging on the sidebar, and it allows chat channels called workspaces, that are n...

IG Edits Gets a Huge Update: Animate Images and Easier Overlays!

Image
IG Edits is one of the best short-form video editors out there, especially for Reels creators.      The latest update just dropped some cool new features—you can now animate images, and there's a handy way to move stuff to your overlays. As you all know, Teenpac is the imaginary pac used to reference what this image is (the TheTechBoy/SSALTW 'Pac' made to cater to teen interests. Meta AI powers the animation on these images, and it did a pretty good job in my opinion. Notice how it animate the girls walking AND the flag in the background.  You can access this by clicking an imported photo in your project, scrolling left on the toolbar, and tapping 'Animate'. The more day-to-day useful feature is the "Move to Timeline" button. With this, you can now easily move videos (or clips) to your overlay screen for layering—super helpful for picture-in-picture or multi-element edits. These updates make creating dynamic short-form content even smoother. Definitely wo...

Motorola Razr 2023 1st Impression: I feel Sad

Image
          The Motorola Razr 2023 (Razr 40 as it is sometimes called) is available refurbished for under 250 USD. Is this a good buy? Full disclosure, I will not be doing a full seven-day review, as the device will be shipped back after my hands-on, so I can get more content out for you guys. This is a 6.9-inch phone with green faux leather and a tiny cover display. This display is next to useless as it only shows the time, date, and battery percentage, basic camera control, and can be programmed to do things on "double tap" such as take a screenshot, or pause media      Speaking of battery percentage, the phone is not that good with battery life in my limited, Wi-Fi-only testing. According to AccuBattery it should have about 4 hrs and 30 min of screen-on time with 90% battery... which is not that good in my opinion, especially for phones at this price point which have large batteries and trash chips, so they can last all day. Also the Razr lo...
