Allowing data to fall into someone else’s hands is the ultimate headache. Once your data is out there in the wild, it’s game over. The “solution” is to encrypt your data. But the problem with that solution is that unless the encryption is easy and foolproof, users are going to sacrifice data security for convenience. If you want easy-to-use high security encryption, then you need hardware that’s aimed at professionals, and that hardware doesn’t get much better than the Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3....

The 17-year-old Nji Collins Gbah lives in one of them. The Cameroon government has cut the Internet in his hometown, Bamenda, to hide the dissatisfaction of its more than 500,000 inhabitants.

I am speaking of stock Android. The darling of the geek classes. But alas, not of the masses. There will be those who will be outraged at the notion. Criticizing stock Android can evoke sentiments among its supporters similar to those that visited the hearts of the Nazis when a Jew criticised Hitler in 1930s Germany. It is pure. It is untainted. It is the ideal. The stark fact, however, is that, unlike Der Fuhrer and the Batman, it does not sell....

The smartphone revolution that followed in the wake of iOS and Android brought in standardisation as regards audio and charging ports – we saw almost all manufacturers accepting the 3.5mm audio jack pretty much as a standard for audio and the micro-USB port for charging and data transfer. This did uncomplicate life, mainly for multiple gadget toting geeks who could now carry a single pair of headphones and a charger and use it across multiple devices....

Putting a Faraday cage over your router to block “harmful” 5G frequencies is just nonsensical. And as we have explained before, not only is this ineffective at stopping the spread of 5G, but it will also make your internet speeds worse! But out of all the crazy theories that popped up this year, the strangest one by far started making the rounds on Facebook in late November. A man claims that COVID tests contain a small holographic optical chip — and he has proof....

In the presentation of the iPhone X, the tech giant Apple introduced the Animoji, an application that uses the Truedepth camera through the movements of our face, create movement and animation in some emoji. Although this is a function that we can only find in the iPhone X, however, now it is already possible to test its operation on the Android operating system as well.

There are two rumors circulating around the internet about the next Nexus device from Google. One says it’ll be an 8 inch tablet that’s a variant of the LG G Pad 8.3. Another says it’ll be the successor to the Nexus 10. Personally, I think it’ll be the latter based on an earlier leak from a disgruntled Telefonica employee. Said employee leaked a photo, a price, and a model number: LG-V510....

Unless you’re a certified technician who works with Apple, the answer is probably “no.” You can’t just open up YouTube and find a one-minute do-it-yourself tutorial. You’ll have to head to a specialized store and ask an expert to do it for you. That’s by design. Modern tech companies are protective of device repairs, whether they make phones, smart fridges, computers or tractors. But now, people are taking the fight against Big Tech to Congress — and making history in the process....

Remember a few days ago when I said that Samsung is working was a variant of the Galaxy S4 called the GT-i9506 that uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 and will make its way to international markets? Well, I’m super excited to report that my buddy Lars from All About Samsung can confirm that the phone is indeed real. Even better than that, he’s benchmarked it. It hits nearly 28,000 in AnTuTu, which is a bit lower than I was expecting, but whatever, it’s early days....

Fast application and service provisioning, flexible reaction to load changes, low-touch management, network-centric access, and the capacity to move workloads from one site to another are all features of cloud computing. To sum it up, cloud computing is more of a cuneiform for the important things happening in IT, than it is a precise technology. The name “Cloud Computing” comes from the utilization of a cloud image to symbolize the internet....

The gold and silver 18mm “Slim Metal” options for the Moto 360 were officially introduced in the early part of November, and now the smartwatches are officially available to buy. Motorola quietly switched over the “coming soon” option to “buy now,” with both the gold and silver 18mm banded options available to purchase for those who are looking to get a brand new smartwatch.

When LG announced the G2, they managed to start shipping it just a few weeks later, which is something that should be applauded. Far too many companies announce things and then take half a year to bring said things to market. But here’s where things get funny. The G Pad 8.3, unveiled on the last day of August, is only now hitting the market. And by “the market”, I mean Korea, where it can be purchased for 550,000 won; that’s $515....

First, the stick extends up to 36 inches and sits on a tripod that adds stability both on the course and the harder surfaces of a driving range....
