I recently bought new Enegon batteries for the DSLR cam I use to make videos.
Unfortunately, one of them died on me the first time I used it.
This was particularly surprising given that the batteries got very good reviews on Amazon.
So, I decided to open up the dead battery…
I was NOT happy with what I found inside!!
What do you get for somebody when you have NO IDEA what they’d like?
For a high-tech gift that everyone will love, look no further than a UGREEN Uno USB charger!
They’re cute, they’re powerful, and mine has been very reliable.
It’s the perfect high-tech gift for just about anyone!
There are more flavors of USB than ice cream.
With so many gizmos, different USB cables, and chargers, how do you know which one is best?
Which one gives you the fastest data transfer?
More importantly, how do you charge all your devices as quickly as possible – without carrying around 27 different chargers?
End-to-end encryption is supposed to be ultra-safe.
Unfortunately, it’s not.
Even though it sounds good on paper, the way E2EE is coded and used can make all the difference between security and epic data leaks.
In less than 60s:
Ever wondered what the big deal with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) is?
There are 2 main types of encryption.
One means the central server is a “man in the middle”, and the other means the server is just a relay of sorts.
Check out this 58-second explanation of E2EE:
Person 1: My messenging app is more secure.
Person 2: No, MINE is!
Person 3: No way, I ONLY use Signal – it’s the most secure!
Okay, y’all are fired.
What if I told you that NONE of the messaging apps you use are really, truly secure?
Sound crazy?
Well, it is. The encryption is as good as you’re gonna get.
The problem is the way it’s used that actually matters…
When you imagine your future with the amazing technology of AI, chances are it doesn’t look like what’s happening today.
In fact, it’s not even close.
If you’re sick of hearing about AI while lamenting the lack of actual, cool uses for it, you’re not alone.
On top of that, it’s getting pretty bad out there: from power problems to money problems to ‘model collapse’, AI is on the road to changing… well, nothing at all, actually!
It’s pretty much a mess.
Let’s say you’re using KeePass with the KeePassOTP plugin because you read my earlier article Two-Factor Authentication without SMS or a smartphone: PART 2!
Well, aren’t you clever! 😉
The problem comes when KeePass informs you that there’s an update available for the KeePassOTP plugin…
How do you update it?!
Easy: You just repeat the installation procedure that I outlined in the above article.
But… There’s a better way!! Of course.
A company in Taiwan recently presented a developing WiFi tech that can be used to monitor your location, heart rate, breathing patterns, sleep cycles, and much more.
The company’s techie bossman, Doctor Tzi-cker Chiueh, claimed that, “Channel state in modern Wi-Fi is susceptible to minor environmental changes.” These tiny changes can be used with an algorithm he helped create that can do breathing rate estimation at 95 percent accuracy over 5 meters, and heart rate measurements at 83 accuracy at a 1 meter distance.
As it turns out, using WiFi sort of like radar is nothing new; it’s been around for a number of years now.
But there are two little details that nobody is mentioning which could make this “WiFi Sensing” much, much more common in the years to come…
You might think Ethernet is on its way out the door. After all, everyone just uses WiFi, right?
WRONG! For the past couple of years, my most popular video on YouTube has been:
No more WiFi: How to wire your house for Internet
Published in September of 2019, the video has garnered over 1.6 million views, and it’s still going strong.
Obviously, many people want Ethernet – contrary to popular belief. That’s good, because it’s only going to get better…
