In that case, your mobile phone can step in to serve as your video camera during a meeting. There’s no built-in functionality in Windows 10 or Windows 11 to perform this trick as there is with MacOS Ventura. Instead, a few third-party utilities are available to turn your phone into a webcam. Programs such as DroidCam, EpocCam, and iVCam Webcam will help you enlist your iPhone or Android phone for this assignment....

ARM is the UK company that powers the mobile industry. They design chips and architectures that they then allow anyone and every to use, for a licensing fee. Whether you’re talking Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, Broadcom, they all use ARM in one shape or another. Now there are two fundamentally different ways a company can go about designing a chip for a smartphone or tablet. They can call up ARM and ask them for the blueprints of the Cortex A15 and Mali GPU and make something like Samsung’s Exynos, or they can ask ARM for an architecture license....

Many people now simply use a laptop as their main computing device, along with an external display for when they’re working at home or in the office. However, Apple has been pitching the iPad as an alternative to a laptop for a few years, and now that the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air models are using the same M1 processors as the Mac (and, presumably, will use the forthcoming M2 at some point), the iPad should certainly compete with M1 Macs, such as the current MacBook Air, Mac Mini or 24-inch iMac....
