A digital filter for your face isn't any sort of "beauty mode" and it's good to see Google clamping down on the naming and how it can impact the standards of self we all have.Often times the things that are best for us and our digital wellbeing are the tiny changes. This is one of those times, and chances are you probably skimmed right past the news about it because of how low-key everything has been handled. I'm talking about selfie photo filters, the names that inevitably get attached to those types of filters, and Google's new guidelines on how it all will work from now on.I am a big scruffy white guy with a frizzy beard, long hair, and very little concern about what others think of my own personal appearance. As long as I'm clean and my hair is combed or tied back, I'm good to go and ready for any photo opportunity with no second thoughts. But not everyone is like me. Plenty of people have a problem with the idea of beauty standards and how they think they don't quite meet ...

Don't miss two powerhouses Texas A&M and Alabama fight it out on Saturday. Both teams may have started undefeated and sit 1-0, but unless the Aggies can get rid of their sloppy play from last week it will be the Tide who will be rolling all over them. Texas A&M squeaked by against Vanderbilt 17-12, but will hopefully lock things down this week.For Alabama, the team had no problem starting strong, but this Saturday they need to finish strong against the Aggies. The Tide's second strong offense and defense need to come in with the big plays. If that happens then this potentially competitive matchup will turn into a likely blowout. Mac Jones was fantastic in last week's game hitting nearly 250 passing yards with two touchdowns, but what really gives the Tide a leg up is its running game. Jones will likely get things going, but the running game can keep it going when it needs to turn things up to high gear.Texas A&M Aggies vs. Alabama Crimson Tide: Where and when?Texas ...

Will South Carolina beat Florida in their 2020 matchup? Not likely. That doesn't mean it won;t be a fun game to watch them try for a major upset on ESPN. For those betting, the Gamecocks will be the underdogs by about 21 points.So far this year, South Carolina lost to Tennessee with a near-miss of 27-31. If the team can tighten up some of its mishandling of the ball, it can definitely prove to be a worthy competitor. The Florida Gators were aggressive, however, in their handling of Ole Miss and easily scoring more than 50 points. The Gators released their depth chart for the Gamecocks matchup and it featured the return on defensive pieces Brad Stewart Jr. and Kyree Campbell which is a pleasant surprise for fans.Not only that, but the Gators are now ranked number 3 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll. It's the team's highest ranking since 2009 and should show how well oiled the team is at the moment.South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Florida Gators: Where and when?South Carolina hea...

With hundreds of films from the most popular franchises on the planet — not to mention thousands of TV episodes from our childhood — it's little wonder that Disney+ is popular. However, when errors invade your movie marathon, things are anything but magical. There's a few different errors Disney+ can spit out when things go awry, but Error 83 is by far the most prevalent Disney+ error you come across. Here's a few of the reasons you may be seeing it, and what you can do about it.Reason #1 — Server timeoutError 83 is one of the most common errors. When the servers are overloaded and your Disney+ session can't connect to the servers fast enough to pass a DRM/account check — or can't connect at all — Error 83 is what Disney+ displays when it can't play your video as requested.This is far and away the most common reason to see Error 83, and dealing with it can take a few forms:Try again. Server issues are usually intermittent, so if at first you don't succeed, try, try...

Look no further, for we have the definitive listing of the best Amazon Fire tablets to help you make your purchase decision. Can you believe that Fire tablets have been around for almost a decade? When the original Kindle Fire was released way back in 2011, many thought Amazon was onto something with a low-cost, easy-to-use tablet experience. You know what? They were right! Today there are no fewer than six Fire tablet devices on offer from Amazon if you count the Kids Editions.

Sharing Stadia Pro games could make potentially save families a lot of money.What you need to knowMonths after its launch, we now know more about how family sharing will work on Stadia.Users will reportedly be able to share both DLC and even previously claimed Stadia Pro games with their family.The news comes via a teardown of the Stadia app on Android.With the advent of the digital era, we have become increasingly separated from physical possession of the things we own. Chief among these are games, and with game streaming, we're soon going to become even more detached from the games we own. This not only means it's easier for companies to set up artificial barriers to stop you from playing the games you own, but it also makes it that much harder to share your favorite titles with friends and family, which was previously as simple as exchanging a disc.With its new game streaming service, however, Google looks to be bucking that trend. We already knew that it was slated to...

Best answer: Other than waiting for Sony engineers to fix any lingering PSN problems, you can always try going offline to play your games or resetting your router to see if that fixes the issue.Online gaming: PlayStation Plus 12-monthHow do I know when the PlayStation Network is down?Sony has a website dedicated to the service status of PSN. If all services are up and running, you should be good to go. Sometimes only a specific service — like accessing your games and social — will be down. This may not be updated right away, so it's also smart to check the PlayStation subreddit to see if anyone else is reporting issues. If the service is down for everyone, you'll hear about it on social media.Alternatively, you'll know when you try to log in to your account and suddenly can't connect to anything or play any games.How long will it be down for?Each outage is different, and there is no way to predict how long the network will be down for. Usually an outage will only last...

Sony hasn't shared PlayStation 5 availability or pricing info for India, while Xbox Series X pre-orders have sold out in the country.Sony kicked off pre-orders of the PS5 last week, with the console set to hit retail availability starting November 12. There are two editions: the regular PlayStation 5 costs $499, and the PS5 Digital Edition is up for pre-order for $399.Sony is barely able to sustain demand for pre-orders in most markets, with both the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition sold out everywhere. But there's a bigger problem in India, where Sony hasn't even bothered to share PS5 pricing or availability details. Aside from a listing on Amazon India that says the PS5 will be available "late 2020" and lets interested customers register interest in the console, there has been little in the way of information regarding Sony's next-gen console. It's clear that the PS5 will be delayed in India, but for Sony to not reveal any details is inexcusable.This isn't the first time Sony...

Online shopping is going to be a big deal during this year's Black Friday sales, and you'll want to use a retailer like Home Depot that already has a lot of experience in online sales. In the past, I have generally considered Home Depot to be one of the better kept secrets on Black Friday.
