Pirated software has always come with risks for users looking to acquire things over the internet. Mainly, it is illegal, to begin with, thus one should never even try downloading such software. In addition to this, many of these applications, games, and other materials come with hidden surprises that can wreck your day. So finding out that a new trojan has slipped its way into pirated software is no surprise as it happens all the time. This just seems to be one that has taken off recently, causing issues for both Windows and MacOS users alike (even Android). It was…
It looks like Microsoft (or maybe just the sellers are in cahoots) is looking to make sure everyone has a chance at an Xbox Series X this holiday season. Since Black Friday, there have been several deals ranging between $349 and $449. The best price was during Black Friday, which is long gone but it is already at its best price once again. Walmart currently has (at the time of publishing this) the Xbox Series X at $349, making it the best opportunity to snag one of the consoles at an affordable price between the holidays It will likely rise…
It shouldn’t be surprising that any company might be interested in spying on you. Analytics is one of the many ways these companies thrive by learning everything they can about their customers. Including their browsing habits within other browsers, which is exactly what Microsoft Edge browser does. You’d think a browser would be limited to spying on what goes on within it but this isn’t the case. Browsers can also spy on everything you’re doing elsewhere. So much for having one browser for work and another for play. This allows the Microsoft Edge browser to copy bookmarks, settings, and even…
One of the biggest risks with digital content is that the user doesn’t actually own the content they pay for. Unlike tangible discs and other physical media that can be kept long after companies disappear or titles are no longer available, digital content can vanish at any time. This is something that PlayStation users are now being faced with. The company has reached out to users to notify them of the coming deletion of various Discovery TV shows that will be taking place at the end of the year (December 31st, 2023). This is due to changes being made by…
The world has been trying its best to move away from using passwords and toward alternatives like passkey, fingerprints, facial recognition, and other forms of passwordless options through solutions like Windows Hello. Passwords are usually still associated in one form or another but it allows multi-layered protection in so many cases. But security researchers have found a way to circumvent these methods (at least, partially). The researchers at Blackwing Intelligence have been working with Microsoft to put these methods to the test and this is when they came up with their unfortunate results. Someone could develop a USB device capable…
A lot has changed for Ring over the years as it has transitioned through new generations of its products and got bought out by Amazon for a whopping $1 billion. It went from being a new name in the video doorbell business, competing against a number of other companies, to becoming one of the most recognized names out there. The company originally made its name by offering excellent customer service, a fascinating product, a fantastic app, and always including everything you could ever need in the box (mostly). From the little bits and pieces like screws and anchors to multiple…
Black Friday always brings out the best deals but this one seems to be one of the heavy hitters and Best Buy isn’t trying to hide it. Not only is this a huge monstrosity of a TV at 70 inches, but it is overly affordable at just $399.99 right now. It is the Insignia 70-inch Class F30 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV. As you can tell from the model name, it is also a smart TV with all of your favorite apps. Like Netflix, Apple TV+, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Sling TV, YouTube, HBO Max, Spotify, Peacock, ESPN+,…
Black Friday is here and with it comes price drops on all of your favorite consumer electronics. For gamers, It is absolutely one of the best times of the year to start investing in some new video game consoles, accessories, games, and more. And for Xbox fans looking to get their hands on an Xbox Series S console, it is the moment they have been waiting for. These deals remind me of when Walmart dropped the price of the PS4 to $199 sometime before the pandemic. This might not be as much of a price drop as that, but it…
Microsoft has been heavily against adding any new features to Windows 10 as it tries to push users to the latest Windows 11 operating system. Can’t even call it the “new” OS anymore since it has been out since October 2021. The company is just having trouble convincing many people to make the jump (still). However, it seems to be bringing the Microsoft Copilot AI to Windows 10 despite this. Microsoft Copilot is the company’s LLM (large language model) AI based on ChatGPT’s technology. Previously referred to as “Bing Chat”, the company recently rebranded it to Microsoft Copilot to give…
This morning was another big moment for SpaceX as it successfully launched the (still) experimental Starship off of its launchpad. Although the experience didn’t completely go as intended, the company still feels confident that it walked away with the data it needed to move forward. It took months to get FAA approval since the first launch back in April that didn’t go so well. The company pulled a lot of data from that attempt as well, but the launch also caused significant damage to the pad throwing concrete everywhere, rained pieces of the exploded craft back down to Earth, and…
