Whether your goal is to reconnect with an old high school friend or look up a potential job candidate, online people searches have a variety of uses. Finding someone’s phone number, home or email address, arrest records, and family members are all something you can do via a people finder website. With a narrow focus on information about people, these sites stray from the likes of Google and Bing, which can yield more general results.

With the release of iOS 14, Apple made it easy to hide apps you haven’t used in a while. It’s great for organization but also made finding the apps again a little more difficult. This tutorial shows you how to quickly delete “hidden apps” on your iPhone (or your iPad).

Whether it’s for school or work, recording your Chromebook screen can have many different use cases. Thankfully, Chromebooks make it incredibly easy with a built-in tool that ensures that you don’t need any extra software. Released with ChromeOS 89 in March 2021, the revamped screen capture menu added the native screen recorder on top of the ability to screenshot your display. Let’s take a look at how to start and stop a screen recording on a Chromebook.

The introduction of official game controller support for iOS devices a couple of years ago was a radical change for Apple. As good as games can be with touch controls, controller support adds a whole new level of playability. Android, of course, has had game controller support for years now.

For this list, we’re going to be focusing here on the games that really go to the next level with a controller, or would frankly be tough to play without one. So don’t expect your favorite puzzle games or point-and-click adventures to make the cut. Before you start, you should probably connect your game controller to your iOS or Android device too.

It’s simple, effortlessly cross-platform, shareable, tweakable, and comes with a boatload of random helpful features and integrations, and there’s honestly no perfect clone out there. There are, however, a few that come quite close, so if you’re looking to make the switch with minimal friction, check out the Google Calendar alternatives below.

    Most of these apps support gCal integration, your data is safe and will sync back to the service, allowing you to switch between these apps and Google Calendar at any time.
