When I’m offering financial advice for the future, I usually operate under the general assumption that income taxes are going to go up over the next 30 years. This has nothing to do with my personal political beliefs, but it has everything to do with numbers. Again, I’m not arguing one way or another whether it’s right for taxes to be lower or higher. That’s not the point. Instead, I’m interested in trying to predict what will happen....

It came to iOS and Android this April and is now available on desk phones with video. The feature allows mobile users to pick one of Microsoft’s backgrounds during a video call to conceal their actual background and add a bit of color and privacy to a meeting. Microsoft only recently added real-time transcription to Teams but it was for the desktop application and could create transcriptions for multiple participants....

And that, the “notably or unexpectedly missing, absent” part, brings us to Tim Cook. In June of 2020, Apple announced its transition to Apple Silicon processors, saying the “first system ships by year’s end, beginning a two-year transition.” Every Mac model has transitioned to Apple Silicon, except for the Mac Pro and the 27-inch iMac. If Apple’s timeline is to be believed, the two year period would have expired last June....

As someone who’s experienced these nightmares, I was eager to try NexusLink’s Wireless Gaming Bridge. Not only does it promise a way to isolate and optimize your PC or VR gaming connection, it does so for a shockingly inexpensive price, relatively speaking. But could a $60 wireless bridge really replace the several-hundred-dollar mesh network I needed to keep wireless gaming viable in my home? Also: Mesh vs traditional Wi-Fi: What is best for your home office?...

You probably don’t have my hardware requirements, but even if you just have a laptop and a desktop and you’d like to switch between them with a single keyboard, display, and mouse, a simple KVM may be just what you need. And, if your computers can push out 4K video, you want IOGear’s latest 2-Port 4K KVM Switch, the GCS92HU. Take an inexpensive KVM, like IOGear’s newest 2-Port 4K KVM Switch....

“I was going on my holidays. But I got a phone call at four o’clock in the morning, saying basically ‘I can’t log in, what’s going on?’” he says. Day got up and made the 30-minute drive to his office in Brisbane, Australia where the construction, building supplies and home-building company is based, all the while thinking about what the problem could be, perhaps a hardware failure or an unplanned outage?...

Air-gapped systems are isolated from the internet due to the nature of the information they handle. The idea is that by being completely removed from both the public-facing internet and the rest of the network, any information stored and processed within them remains secure from unauthorised access by outsiders. Typically, air-gapped systems are found in sensitive or high-risk environments – which are likely to be tempting targets for malicious hackers – including critical infrastructure, satellite and military networks....

They’re still dating, but the terms have changed. What’s she doing tonight when I don’t hear from her? Why didn’t he text me last night before he went to sleep? What are we talking about today? Why, remote work, of course. Many companies now want to cohabit again with their remote employees. Many remote employees have discovered they’re quite happy working remotely and eschewing the commute. And, well, the need to dress up and act as if they actually like their coworkers....

Detailed by cybersecurity researchers at Trend Micro, such as several other cryptomining campaigns, this one is secretly compromising Linux systems, using their computing power to mine for Monero. Cryptomining attacks are often distributed by exploiting common cybersecurity vulnerabilities or are hidden inside cracked software downloads, among other methods. Compromising one system with cryptomining malware is unlikely to generate much profit, but attackers infect a large network of infected systems and servers to generate as much cryptocurrency as possible – with the associated energy bill being unintentionally picked up by the victim....

This feature is an expansion of existing ‘smart chips’ integrations. Google earlier this year launched smart chips, a new @ tag tool for linking information from other Workspace apps to a Docs file.

It gave Docs users the ability to add information from other Workspace apps, including Gmail/Workspace email address, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Calendar....
