Force Reboot Process for iPhone XS/XS Max/XR

If your new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, or iPhone XR became unresponsive, you’ve might have tried the button combo from the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in order to force-restart it — but it didn't work.
That’s because the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR use those buttons together to open up Emergency SOS instead, unlike on the 7 and 7 Plus, which use 5 clicks of the Side button to do the same.
On the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, as well as the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X, instead of holding the Side and Volume Down buttons together, press the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button, then press-and-hold the Side button for 10 seconds. When the Apple logo appears, let go, and you're device will open to the unlock screen.

In this video, Ill be showing you how to set up an emulator and game launcher for Android that will allow you to play your own Steam copy of Counter-Strike on Android.
To get this one going, you will need to own a legit copy of Counter-Strike (1.6) for PC, and it needs to be the Steam version. Aside from that, the Android part of setup is actually pretty simple, and all you need on your phone or tablet is to have Unknown sources enabled, and a little help from your favorite file browser app.

In this video, Ill be showing you how to set up a brand new iPhone keyboard that lets you find synonyms, rhyming words, and puns while you type.
Rather than repeating the same words over and over, try mixing things up a bit by finding a synonym. Or if youre feeling a bit goofy, you can find puns that play off of the words youve typed, and you can even get a list of rhyming words.
For details on the app giveaway, head to my full tutorial on Gadget Hacks, where youll find instructions towards the bottom of the article. If you missed the giveaway, Hemingboard is also available at a reduced price all day today, 4/19/2016, so you can take advantage of that, too.
NOTE (4/20/16): Giveaway is over, there are no more free codes, and Hemingboad has resumed at its normal price.

How to Manually Flash the Android 11 Developer Preview [Pixel]
Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/FlashAndroid11
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://bit.ly/GadgetHacksSub
NOTE: This is the Windows method, but the full tutorial has Mac instructions.
Google just dropped the first developer preview build of Android 11, aka Android R. This first version (and possibly more) will not be available as a public beta download, meaning youll have to manually flash the update if you want it now.
The good news is, if your bootloader is already unlocked, you can easily flash the DP1 build without wiping your data. Yes, youll have to use fastboot, but you wont even have to type a single command — just double-click a file.

Youll need to be rooted to try this out, but Ive got a detailed guide at the full tutorial that makes rooting the Pixel XL super easy. On top of that, this mod will only work on the Pixel XL (not the regular Pixel), and its only intended for use on Android 7.1.
But with a little work, you can fix one of the biggest gripes most people have with the new Pixel, and increase audio quality dramatically.
