Frequently video chat with friends, co-workers, or podcasters? Here’s a few tips to look like a pro.

Video chatting with friends and co-workers has practically become a way of life in our modern world. I use Skype and FaceTime pretty much daily in my home and work life, and because of that, I’ve spent a good deal of time trying to perfect my video quality.

Whether you wear pajama bottoms or a dress shirt for a video chat, you shouldn’t have to settle for sub-par results: Here are my favorite tips for making your webcam video look better than the rest.

Whether you’re using an iMac, MacBook Pro, third-party webcam, or iPhone, the worst you can do is have your camera below your face, pointed up — human faces do not look great chin-first. In an ideal world, you want your camera positioned slightly above eye-level, looking down at you.

Why has my friend’s contact info disappeared from my iPhone? You may need to resync your iPhone with iCloud.

Whenever I sign out of iCloud and back in on my iPhone, some of my contacts will inevitably disappear. Given enough time, most of them restore (it takes a few minutes for iCloud to sync). But, sometimes, my contacts don’t reappear. If you’ve had this problem, don’t stress out. There is a way to fix it!

Note: This guide is for people that sync their contacts in iCloud. If you sync with Google, Microsoft, or something else, this isn’t for you!

How to reset your contacts to sync with iCloud on your iPhone

If you’ve recently signed out of and back into iCloud, you’re going to have to manually change your default account settings for the Contacts app.

Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
Tap Contacts.

Tap Default Account.

Gone are golds yellow and rose and in their place Apple Watch has a whole new Edition — Ceramic White.

The original Apple Watch Edition launched in 2015, was crafted out of yellow or rose gold, and cost $10K and up. It was for people who stay in 6-star hotels, fly in cabins, wear couture—maybe only once—and would certainly buy something as trendy as an Apple Watch but only if it came in gold. It was also for the fashion and watch worlds, a substance to get attention beyond the silicon.

I had several opportunities to see it at and around Apple events and it was legit gorgeous. But a market used to affordable luxury doesn’t like even the idea of luxury they can’t afford: While the original Edition generated attention, it also generated more than a little resentment.

So, in late 2016, Apple replaced it with an all-new Edition. Gone was the gold and the gobsmacking price tag, and in its place a still pricey (starting at $1,249) but much more attainable ceramic white….

These are some of the best indoor security cameras on the market!

Indoor security cameras are a great way to give yourself peace of mind when you’re away from home. Not only can you check in on pets if you have them, but you can also receive notifications that’ll alert you to intruders. Many cameras feature smart alert systems that can tell you about out-of-the-ordinary sounds and motion in your household; some cameras feature both a speaker and a microphone for two-way communication, and a few even come with sirens and alarms to scare away intruders. If you’d like to add an extra layer of security and safety to your household, consider picking up an indoor security camera!

Will you be able to use your GameCube controller with Nintendo Switch? Maybe…

Since the very first Nintendo console (Nintendo Entertainment System) all the way to the soon-to-be-released Nintendo Switch, the gaming company has drastically changed their controller each generation. Nintendo pioneered a few controller features — left and right shoulder buttons as an example — that are widely used by all types of controllers today.

The Wii and Wii U both allowed gamers to use Nintendo’s older GameCube controllers, which many players preferred to use for competitive gaming; however, the Switch will have a dedicated Pro Controller as an additional accessory, leaving the fate of compatibility with GameCube controllers on the fence. Let’s dip into all the information we know right now and see what lies ahead for the beloved GameCube gamepad.

A little history

When the Nintendo Wii burst onto the scene back in 2006, the Wiimote was a huge change from conventional game syste…
