Gamers have it pretty good today. Thanks to the modern internet, we can purchase and play video games without ever waiting in line at Game Stop or biding our time until our buddies let us borrow their cartridge. Back in the day, after Atari but before Stadia, I could go to any number of video rental stores and walk out with three AAA video games to spend a weekend with.... Read more âș

Itâs hard to believe it now, but just four short years ago articles on quantum computing were a bit of a dud when it came to catching the attention of mainstream news consumers. Oh what a difference a few years can make. You canât open the science section on Google or Apple News nowadays without seeing a near-equal split between space and quantum physics stories. The worldâs fallen in love... Read more âș

On gay dating apps like Grindr, many users have profiles that contain phrases like âI donât date Black men,â or that claim they are ânot attracted to Latinos.â Other times theyâll list races acceptable to them: âWhite/Asian/Latino only.â This language is so pervasive on the app that websites such as Douchebags of Grindr and hashtags like #grindrwhileblack can be used to find countless examples of the abusive language that men...

This week weâve been besieged by news images of men jam-packed into truck beds holding military assault weapons. Their manufacturer of choice is Toyota. Militias have long used Toyota pickup trucks as a vehicle of war, especially in the Middle East. The trucks are lightweight, agile, fuel-efficient, and well suited to the local terrain. In 2013 Kyle Mizokami noted: âYou can buy 266 of them for the cost of just... Read more âș

Yik Yak is back! If you donât know what it is, I donât blame you. It was an anonymous gossip platform that had some success, but after running into moderation problems and failing to deal with problematic content, it was shut down in 2017.

Iâve fallen in love with my Xbox Series X. Whether itâs things like Game Pass or Quick Resume, the console has fast become a close companion. But there are two things it needs to truly thrive: more games and a media mode. The first point is something weâve covered before. For a myriad of reasons (read: the pandemic, supply chain issues, and the lifespan of previous consoles), weâve yet to... Read more âș

Iâm not really sure how to review Qualcomm and Asusâs âSmartphone for Snapdragon Insidersâ. It is one of the most puzzling devices Iâve tested, not because thereâs much wrong with the phone per se â youâd hope not for $1,500 â but because the marketing and design choices leading up to its creation are baffling. It is a phone that I mostly enjoyed using, but it left me with myriad... Read more âș

A trio of researchers at Purdue today published pre-print research demonstrating a novel adversarial attack against computer vision systems that can make an AI see â or not see â whatever the attacker wants. Itâs something that could potentially affect self-driving vehicles, such as Teslaâs, that rely on cameras to navigate and identify objects. Up front: The researchers wanted to confront the problem of digital manipulation in the physical world.... Read more âș

TLDR: Babbel can train you in 14 different languages to help take your career or your next overseas vacation to new heights.

TLDR: With expert level training, the Comprehensive Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop Bundle shows exactly how Lightroomâs unusual, yet useful range of abilities make it just as formidable an app as its historic big brother software. Thereâs a reason why Adobe Photoshop is still the undisputed king of the image editing universe. Itâs held the belt for the last quarter century and shows virtually no sign of stopping anytime soon. So... Read more âș

Itâs now well known that usernames and passwords arenât enough to securely access online services. A recent study highlighted more than 80% of all hacking-related breaches happen due to compromised and weak credentials, with three billion username/password combinations stolen in 2016 alone. As such, the implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA) has become a necessity. Generally, 2FA aims to provide an additional layer of security to the relatively vulnerable username/password system.... Read more âș

For better or worse, Iâm a Google Docs boy. While Microsoftâs Office or Appleâs iWork software suites are more powerful, nothing beats how easy Googleâs Drive suite is to use across multiple devices and by different people. Yet, there has been one issue haunting me for some time, something I need to get off my heaving chest: why the hell canât you copy folders in Google Drive? You may read... Read more âș

What would our cities look like without Uber and the ride-sharing competitors that followed? According to author and tech privacy activist Cory Doctorow, city planners might be chasing the wrong horse by giving Uber such freedom in many cities.  Doctorow recently published a scathing article on Uber.
