Mozilla Firefox 65.0.2 Released for Linux, Windows, and macOS

Mozilla Firefox has recently received a new update on all supported desktop platforms, as the parent company makes another step towards the next major browser release. Firefox 65.0.2 is thus available for download on Windows , Linux , and macOS , but the ones getting more love this time are those running Microsoft’s operating system. While users on all these platforms should install the new Firefox build as soon as possible, version 65.0.2 resolves a geolocation issue on Windows, as per the official changelog. There are obviously no new features included this time, as Mozilla typically introduces new functionality in major updates, while minor releases ar... ( read more )

Apple Could Launch AirPods 2 on March 29 - Report

Apple is expected to hold an event in late March, and one of the devices that could be introduced is the second-generation AirPods. While everything’s still in the rumor stage, Applesfera reports that sources in the supply chain obtained a document pointing out that the original AirPods would be discontinued in March as well. The site speculates that this is because the AirPods 2 could go live this month too, possibly to go on sale only a few days after the unveiling event. While Apple has obviously remained completely tight-lipped on everything related to the new AirPods, reliable leakster @OnLeaks revealed in February that “brand-new AirPods and new colors” are only expected this fall, possibly alongside the 2019 iPhone generation. On the other hand, what Apple could introduce at t... ( read more )

Microsoft has just released a new Windows 10 Insider Preview build for Skip Ahead insiders, who are already testing the OS update due in April 2020. Windows 10 build 18845 is part of the 20H1 development branch and comes with the update to Emoji 12. “In early February, the set of emoji to be included with Emoji 12.0 was finalized by Unicode, and with today’s build when you press WIN+(period) or WIN+(semicolon), all of these emoji now have keywords hooked up to make them easy to search for. Try it once you install the build! Keywords include otter, sloth, waffle, ballet shoes, and more,” Dona Sarkar, head of the Windows Insider program, explains. There are no other new features in this OS update, and Microsoft focused mostly on other general changes and improvements, and you can check them in full in the box after the jump. Worth highlighting are fixes for the Start menu and Microsoft Edge, with the latter previously crashing on launch on some devices. Kn... ( read more )

Nokia’s PureView 9 Features Five Cameras And Releases March 3

What’s better than a phone with one, two, three, or four cameras? According to Nokia, that’s a smartphone with five cameras, which is exactly what the upcoming PureView 9 has. This beast of a smartphone is all about taking beautiful photos , and it actually is scheduled to release sooner than later, as Nokia has just announced a U.S. release date of March 3, which is just a few short days away. Nokia PureView 9 Specs and Features Obviously, the thing that really makes the PureView 9 stand out is the array of cameras that are designed to offer a level of depth we don’t normally see from a smartphone. Each of the five cameras features a 12-megapixel resolution and an f/1.8 aperture. Two of the cameras shoot color images and three shoot in monochrome. They all combine to offer larger dynamic range and more depth than typical phone cameras. Outside of the cameras, the phone features pretty solid specs. There’s a 5.99-inch OLED screen with a 2K resolution and HDR 10 support. Essen...

How to Encrypt Your Gmail, Outlook, and Other Webmail

Encryption is vital to privacy and security. Our privacy is under constant threat from social media, governments, businesses, and otherwise. So, encrypting your web traffic and email accounts is a vital step to clawing back some of the seclusion that was natural just a few decades back. Email accounts are important. They hold the keys to your digital kingdom as well as personal information. Here’s how you encrypt your Gmail, Outlook.com, and other webmail accounts. Which Encryption Is Best to Protect Webmail? Before we look at the encryption tools, it is important to understand what types of encryption are available to you when using Gmail, Outlook.com, or other webmail services. You will use either symmetric or asymmetric encryption to protect your data. But what does that mean? Asymmetric encryption is the most common encryption type found on the internet today. An asymmetric encryption tool involves two separate keys: a private key and a public key. Your public key is just tha...

Canonical Improves Security and Robustness of Ubuntu Kubernetes with Containerd

Canonical announced today that it added support for Containerd container runtime in the latest releases of its Charmed Kubernetes and Microk8s products to improve their security and robustness. Available for Linux and Windows operating systems, Containerd is the industry-standard container runtime capable of managing entire container lifecycles, including container execution, low-level storage, image transfer, network attachments, as well as process supervision. Besides improving security, Containerd ensures reduced latency and robust performance for Canonical's Kubernetes offering. "Containerd has become the industry-standard container runtime focused on simplicity, robustness, and portability,” said Carmine Rimi, Product Manager for Kubernetes at Canonical. "Enabling Kubernetes to drive containerd directly reduces the number of moving parts, reduces latency in pod star... ( read more )

Canonical Releases Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS with Patched APT and Security Updates

Canonical released today the Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS point release to its long-term supported Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system series to address a recently discovered APT vulnerability. As reported earlier this week, Canonical started working on emergency point releases for its Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) operating system series to offer users who want to install these releases a more secure live/installation media that patches a security vulnerability affecting the APT package manager. The APT security vulnerability affects all Debian and Ubuntu-based operating systems and could allow a remote attacker to install malic... ( read more )

Anthem Review (PC)

Anthem primary reason to exist is not entertainment, but to make money, and that’s painfully obvious at any turn. It’s a shame because it bears the Bioware logo and, somewhere deep inside, a few great ideas are hidden. The genesis of a new game usually follows the same route, no matter what studio is behind it. One or more people have an idea, and a game is slowly built around that idea. In this case, I don’ t really know if that was the path taken by Anthem.  If I were to guess, Anthem most likely started its life as an original idea, but somewhere along the line, it was hijacked by some good old-fashioned corporate greed. Electronic Arts wanted a piece of the gaming-as-a-service market, and Anthem was just a bystander. I say most likely because the game comes from Bioware, a studio that made sure their name is synonymous to storytelling, and it seems that game development started six years ago, right after the launch of Mass Effect 3. There are bits of informati... ( read m...

Philips 328E9F Curved LCD Monitor Review - Gaming and Office Worthy

Curved monitors are no longer just a weird phase through which the industry was going through, and a good example of that the technology is finding its place is within the Philips 328E9F curved display. When the first curved monitors started to appear on the market, people were skeptical about their utility, and that wasn’t unexpected. We’ve seen curved displays in Sci-Fi movies and TV Shows for so long, that when they actually arrived, we weren’t that impressed. I’m now wondering if users will have the same reaction to foldable screens or transparent ones. The thing is that at first glance, the curved monitor, or TV for that matter, seems pointless. It looks cool, there’s no question about it, but that’s pretty much it. It turns out that having a small curve on your display is not useless, and if the monitor is good, it does matter in the end. As it was to be expected, once the new design started to sell, a lot of companies have tried to implement this feature, a... ( read more ...

Move Recycle Bin to the Windows 10 System Tray

While many people forget the Windows Recycle Bin exists and they delete files using the magic Shift + Delete keyboard shortcut, there is no doubt this continues to be a valuable Windows feature that helps prevent accidents and critical data loss. The Recycle Bin itself hasn’t evolved too much in the last few Windows iterations, pretty much because the concept is pretty simple and there’s not much to improve about it. It plays the role of a bin where your deleted files are stored before you remove them once and for all, so the refinements that Microsoft can implement are minor, to say the least. However, one of the features that users have been asking for, but which the software giant has until now ignored, is an option to bring the Recycle Bin to the system tray for quick access no matter what they do. While pinning the Recycle Bin to the Start menu or the taskbar is indeed possible, adding a fully functional icon to the... ( read more )

How to Remap the Bixby Key on Samsung Galaxy S8, S9, S10, Note 8, and Note 9

One of the most important software improvements that Samsung announced at the Galaxy S10 launch on February 20 is an option to remap the Bixby key. As you probably know already if you’re a Samsung flagship user, the company’s latest Galaxy S and Note models come with a dedicated button just for launching the digital assistant called Bixby. Until now, remapping this button has been quite a challenge. While third-party apps capable of doing this have been around for a while, most relied on accessibility services for this purpose, and many users just wanted to avoid relying them because they weren’t official workarounds. The bigger problem, however, wasn’t necessarily that people didn’t want to use Bixby, but the fact that many accidentally launched the digital assistant because of this key. Samsung tried to resolve this problem with a software update that allowed us to configure a double-tap for launching Bixby, but still, there were no options to use this button f... ( read more...

Ableton vs. FL Studio: What’s the Best Music Maker?

Producing music used to be prohibitively expensive. The advent of Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) has changed this. Of the many DAWs available, Ableton Live and FL Studio are two of the best picks. Ableton Live and FL Studio are pricey purchases, but both have free trial versions you can download and test. However, to help you decide between the two, we compared both Ableton Live vs. FL Studio. The Best for Beginners: FL Studio FL Studio receives praise as one of the best DAWs for beginners. Ease of use is built into the design, and no previous digital music production experience is required. Many aspects of FL Studio aim at people who haven’t traditionally trained as musicians. FL Studio also comes with template projects set up for different kinds of music production. These templates are the perfect way to get to grips with the software. The intuitive nature of FL Studio, along with the vast online tutorial community, make it ideal for first time producers. The Best for Pro...

Safari Downloads Not Working? 7 Troubleshooting Tips and Fixes to Try

It’s not always easy downloading files in Safari for Mac. Sometimes files seem to disappear after you download them, while other times they don’t download at all. Confusingly, this can happen for a variety of reasons. However, the fixes are all easy enough, regardless of whether you have to click two buttons or 10. In some cases, the solution to Safari download issues involves checking your Downloads folder. In other cases, it involves disabling any plugin that might cause you problems. These are all simple actions, so it shouldn’t take you much time to get downloading again. We’ll walk you through it 1. Check Your Default Downloads Folder Safari sends every file you download to a folder on your Mac. Unsurprisingly, it uses Downloads as the default location. However, you can change this, perhaps without even realizing it. You should thus check where Safari sends your downloads, and change it accordingly if desired. To do this: Click Safari (in your Mac’s top menu bar) and ch...
