Huawei’s problems are, of course, also Honor’s. The latter is even more affected by the US ban considering it happened just as it was launching the Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro. But just like Huawei, Honor isn’t backing down and, in fact, will be launching a new phone in a matter of weeks. The Honor 9X will be a … Continue reading

Though it seems like Alexa is found everywhere, Amazon’s pervasive presence in American homes doesn’t necessarily translate to their TV screens…at least when it comes to choosing a streaming platform, that is. According to a newly published analysis, Roku largely dominates the US streaming market with more than 41 million devices across the nation. Surprisingly, Sony holds second place.

AI is the big thing in tech these days, permeating everything from the Web to homes to mobile devices. Much of that commercial AI, however, lives in the cloud, which has security, privacy, and performance impacts.

A majority of services these days require you to submit a copy of passport photograph. The photograph is used as a mode of identity. Passport photos are required by many agencies including immigration, DIY, and AAA. That being said the U.S Department of state has enforced certain requirements for the passport.
In this article, we will walk you through several ways in which you can get a passport sized photo taken in the US. The options to get a Passport Size photo vary and we suggest you pick one that suits the best. Before we begin let us take a look at all the prerequisites set by the U.S Department of State,
Majority of the service providers are trained to follow the guidelines for Passport Photo. However, I would suggest you check the photo before submission, if it fails to meet the guidelines, the State Department will reject.
Passport Photo Booth is my personal favorite. This iOS app helps you create the perfect shot and the post-processing options are pretty decent. Once you are done with the editing you can order the print.
The Passport Photo Booth offers two photos for $6. The only downside though is that you have to wait for the photos to arrive on mail.
The Passport Photo Booth also offers an email option. If you don’t want to wait for the prints you can simply download the copy from the email and get it printed at a neighborhood store. Download Passport Photo Booth for iOS.
Passport Photo Creator is the best bet for Android users. The app is specifically designed for U.S citizens who want to travel outside the country.
According to developers, the app follows guidelines strictly and this should ensure that your photos never get rejected.
On the flipside, the Passport Photo Creator doesn’t allow you to save or email the photos. This leaves us with only one option, to pay $14.99 for two prints that will be printed by Walgreens, its approved vendor.
This option is pricey but the quality of photos justify the price. Download Passport Photo Creator for Android
When was the last time you walked into a post office! Not many people know this, but the United States Postal Service accepts passport renewals. Few post office locations also offer photo services (for a fee.) That being said the renewal process is not exactly fast and if time is a concern it is better to choose other services. The long line at the post office may add up to your woes.
Major drugstore chains like Walgreens and Rite aid offer passport photo service. The best part is that they have branches located all over the country and you can simply visit the nearest one. The drugstores also offer an array of add-n services, for instance, you can choose a same-day-pickup or instant photo if you are in a rush.
If you are an AAA member make sure to take advantage of their free Passport Photo program. Premier-level members are entitled to four sets of passport photos per household. Meanwhile, basic-level members can pay $8 for a set while nonmembers need to shell out $12.

One of the features of Waze is that as you drive, the app can show you the speed at which you are driving. This is useful if you’re constantly relying on the app to navigate to your destination instead of having to switch back and forth between the app and your car’s dashboard.
The good news for non-Waze users is that Google has introduced a similar feature to its Google Maps app and if you’d like to learn how to turn the feature on, check out the steps below.
Now whenever you are driving and are using Google Maps, you should be able to see the speedometer feature within the app. We should point out that at the moment, the speedometer feature is only available on Android devices. It is also limited to countries at this time of writing, such as Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
We expect that eventually, Google will get around to releasing it for other markets, so if you don’t see the ability to toggle the speedometer function on your version of Google Maps, that could be why.
