While the Steam Deck’s controller layout is suitable for many games, there are certain titles that require keyboard input. By pressing the Steam and X buttons at the same time, you’ll bring up the system’s built-in virtual keyboard. This feature is especially useful when playing games like Command & Conquer Remastered or older PC titles that only utilize keyboard and mouse controls. If you can’t connect a keyboard to Steam Deck, using the virtual keyboard is a solid alternative....

This is often the case when the air filters inside the unit start to clog up with dust, or the unit collects moisture over time. If you don’t learn how to clean an air conditioner properly, this makes the unit work harder to move the air, as well as cool a room effectively. What’s more, regular cleaning equates to lower running costs, saving you money on energy bills, and can also extend its lifespan....

External polls obviously required a somewhat laborious process, requiring you to sign up to a polling website and get everyone to click the link. The message reaction method was very crude, and meant you couldn’t see who gave what answers. Well, WhatsApp have clearly responded to user demand, as you can now create polls natively within WhatsApp chats. I myself am currently organizing a bachelor party, and utilized the poll feature immediately to quickly find out what dates people could do....

Don’t worry, it’s simple, but you actually need to download the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app to a smart device to get parental controls up and running.

And while ESPN is known for its around-the-clock coverage in SportsCenter, it’s more than just the news. Depending on the season, you can have any number of live sports games (including NBA live streams and MLB live streams), lively debate shows including Around the Horn and Pardon The Interruption and much more. Surprisingly, though, ESPN’s own streaming service, ESPN Plus, is not one of these options. We’re guessing this is because ESPN’s cable channels are worth too high a fee for the streaming service not to license (and that such a deal would lower the price of the agreements with cable companies)....

Groundhog Day takes place every year on February 2 and is based on an Pennsylvania Dutch superstition. As the tradition goes, if the titular rodent emerges from its den and sees it shadow, winter will continue for six more weeks. If it doesn’t see its shadow, spring will arrive early. Punxsutawney’s Groundhog Day event, featuring Punxsutawney Phil, has become one of the most famous celebrations. In the movie, weatherman Phil is forced to relive February 2 over and over again until he figures out how to escape the time loop....

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is a spinoff of the OG series that features past contestants.

Season 6 was the first to stream on Paramount Plus. The winners participating this season include Monét X Change, Trinity the Tuck and Shea Couleé....

The finals matchup was set up after England’s easy win over India — beating them by 10 wickets — clinched their spot in the finals. Pakistan wasn’t too shabby either, beating New Zealand by 7 wickets. Pakistan’s Cinderella story saw them move from the edge of an exit to the finals, as Netherlands beat South Africa, allowing Pakistan to make it to the Semis. England? Well, captain Jos Buttler and opening partner Alex Hales hit their 169 target in 16 overs, while Chris Jordan took 3 of the 6 Indian wickets....

The Nintendo Switch is one of the best-selling consoles of all time. For good reason, it combines both a home console that can be plugged into your TV and a portable handheld into a single device. With such versatility, it’s little wonder that Nintendo just confirmed earlier this week that it’s shifted more than 107 million units. The Switch isn’t just a fantastic multi-functional device, it also boasts an impressive library of both exclusive and third-party games....

Luckily for me, you don’t need to hold a plank for as long as you think to get results — one researcher suggests you only need to hold the move for 10 seconds to work your core. A plank is an isometric exercise, designed to strengthen during the stillness, as your body works against gravity to hold the pose. Let’s start by talking about form. Your position during the plank is imperative for both the health of your spine and the results in your abs....

A hack squat works the entire lower body, targeting the calves, glutes, quads, and hamstrings. You’ll also be using your core to keep your body stabilized as you squat. The hack squat, whether done on a machine or using a barbell, will put a greater emphasis on the front of your legs, so you’ll work your quads hard during this one. Looking for more leg day inspiration? Check out this 7-move kettlebell workout that builds bigger legs, 5 exercises that build your lower body using dumbbells, and what happened when this fitness writer tried the Emi Wong slim legs workout....

As a fitness editor, I’m no stranger to a weird fitness challenge. You can read what happened when I did 100 dead bugs a day for a week, 30 sit-ups a day for 30-days and when I added a minute long plank to my morning routine. It goes without saying, what works for me might not work for you. If you’re a complete beginner, starting with 100 reps of any exercise is a lot, and it’s a good idea to check your form with a personal trainer before increasing the number of reps you do, or adding weight to an exercise....
