Every Android phone is customizable in one way or another, but Samsung phones might be the most customizable phones out there. You can essentially change anything you’d like about the user interface, like the icons, quick settings colors, and even the way your lock screen and recent apps menus look. The best way to customize your new Galaxy phone is with Samsung Theme Park, the company’s default theme builder. This app can be a little complicated, so we’ve put together this guide on how to use Samsung Theme Park.

FaNG is a fantasy-inspired name generator app. It has names for D&D, Middle-earth, Warhammer, Starfinder, The Elder Scrolls, and other, similar games. The app also has ideas for over 100 races and nationalities and 500,000 names in total — and you can store names in different lists for your own purposes.
This is basically what we expect from a name generator. There are a huge number of options and it’s more than good enough for anyone running a tabletop campaign.
Blink OutdoorThe Blink Outdoor gets the job done if you're bought into Amazon's smart home universe. It's hampered somewhat by weak night vision, and the need to pay extra for incident recording when alternatives sometimes include this for free, but Alexa addicts will find plenty to like about this affordable, long-lasting wireless security camera.

For example, if your friend likes playing on the Asia server, but you’re playing on the America server, you won’t be able to join their world or interact with them. To start playing together with your friends, you’re going to need to know how to change servers in Genshin Impact.

I hope you had some fun changing up the text-to-speech output settings on your Android device with last week’s Android customization article. That was pretty simple stuff, and while this week is also really easy, our new project can be a little intimidating to those that are not comfortable with a screwdriver. If your 2012 Nexus 7 is not charging, and you think it is the USB port that’s dead, or your headphones have stopped working and you think it is the headphone jack, let’s replace them.
Apple was late to the smart speaker game, and when it finally made it, it botched its initial play. Don’t get us wrong — the 2018 HomePod still sounds amazing, but it launched at $349. That made it costly next to other high-end products, never mind a $100 Echo speaker. And its features were so sharply limited that you couldn’t even set multiple timers, much less use Siri voice commands for non-Apple music.

The Fitbit Luxe, the company’s first fashion-first fitness tracker, filled a niche between the Charge and Inspire lineups. It wasn’t a landmark device, but it provided an option for users who value aesthetics above pure functionality. We expect Fitbit to announce the Luxe’s successor later in 2022, but will it be the Fitbit Luxe 2 or another device? We answer these questions and outline our wishlist below.
Facial recognition technology is now a staple of smartphone security, along with the trust old PIN and increasingly elaborate fingerprint scanners.
