    Apple Wallet vs. Google Wallet: What are the differences between them? - Engadget (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Both serve the same purposes, but there are some subtle differences. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, as their names suggest, have similar purposes. You use them as your digital wallet: a secure place to keep your payment cards, tickets and other everyday passes on your phone. Apple Pay and Google Pay are the services that handle the payments, but it's the Wallet apps that store everything. The names are often used interchangeably, though they refer to different parts of a connected process. As l

    Why are IMAX cameras so notoriously loud? - Engadget (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There's a reason why most modern cinematic releases are filmed digitally. True, traditional IMAX filmmaking is not for novices. The entire process is time consuming, not to mention expensive. Most filmmakers aren't making their next movie using 70mm IMAX film, and if there's one point to blame, it's probably to do with the camera. An IMAX 15/70 film camera is very bulky and expensive to operate. Even if we assume that money isn't a problem, they're loud. Very loud. You can expect to hear a non-s

The specs, at a first glance, might seem similar. Both could offer 4K UHD resolution, include support for HDR playback, and feature your favorite streaming services like Netflix. Then what does the extra $1,000 between them actually get you? To determine this, you need to push the smart functionality to the bottom of the list

    How to safely dispose of your old TV - Engadget (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    What you should take into consideration before getting rid of that old panel. A TV isn't something that you can just throw into the trash once you're done with it. They're too big, too bulky, often awkward to transport and almost certainly packed with materials that shouldn't end up in landfill. Safely disposing of a TV might be a bit of extra work, but it's definitely worth it. It could even get a whole new lease of life with a new owner, and if all else fails, you should at least have it caref
