The proliferation of child sexual abuse material on the internet is harrowing and sobering.

The consent model on which privacy laws are based doesn’t work. App users remain concerned about privacy, as a recent survey shows, but they still aren’t very good at protecting it. They may lack the technical know-how or the time... Read more ›

Several attempts have been made to give sound to quiet EVs, as in most countries it’s a legal requirement for electric vehicles to emit a pedestrian warning sound at low speed. To name a few examples, there’s the soundscape by designer and musician Yuri Suzuki, and the BMW i4’s soundtrack, developed by Hans Zimmer.  But to turn the sounds of an EV into an independent musical composition is a first,...

Samsung’s Z Fold and Flip 3 could be the first folding phones for regular people

It’s been a couple of years since folding phones first hit the market, but I’ve yet to actually see one in the wild.
