Also: LastPass breach: Hackers put malware on engineer’s home computer to steal their password Just about everything you do on your connected devices begins with a DNS query. So, when searching in your web browser’s address bar or from just about any app on your mobile device, DNS is at work. The problem is that standard DNS isn’t secure, meaning all your queries are sent over the network as plain text....

With the Black Friday and Cyber Monday hubbub dying down, now is the best time to scan your inbox, discover what brands you didn’t even know had your email address, and purge them from the face of the planet. (Okay, maybe it’s not that serious, but you get what I mean.) Also: Know before you buy: Every major retailer’s holiday return policy The process of unsubscribing is fast and easy, and how long it takes will really depend on how many emails you’d like to opt out of....

In actuality, the strong momentum for Zscaler started long before the pandemic, because the rise of cloud apps, enterprise embracing SaaS models, mobility and an eroding defensive perimeter mandates a different type of security. In today’s world, traditional on-premises security principles are rendered ineffective. Zscaler’s cloud security model is designed for the cloud and mobility apps, enabling it to be deployed anywhere an organization has resources–including home offices. An easy way to think about the need for cloud resident security is to consider how the IT environment has changed....

Pricing The QuadCast S retails for $159.99 (£144, AU$299, CA$229.99, €164), which puts it on par with other microphones favored by popular streamers and Let’s Players like the Razer Seiren V2 Pro ($149.99), the Blue Yeti ($129.99), and the Elgato Wave:3 ($149.99). As I mentioned earlier, the QuadCast S is just $20 more than the original version, with the cost increase attributed to the addition of customizable RGB lighting effects that you can change with the HyperX Ngenuity app; you can either sync effects and colors with other HyperX peripherals you may have or create custom effects to show off your personal style in your videos and live streams....

Apple released iOS 16 on Sept. 12, and you can download and install it right now – so far, the reviews have been positive. Of course, the new lock screen is getting plenty of attention after users update, and for good reason. It’s just too much fun to use. Below I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about picking your own interactive wallpaper, customizing the clock, and then adding widgets....

Apple first announced the new operating systems in early June at WWDC 2021, and it also released them as developer betas. I’ve been using the developer betas since they were made available on my iPhone and iPad. There are plenty of changes on both operating systems to write a book about – but, for now, I want to start with my first impressions of the iPadOS 15 beta, specifically. As you go through the areas of the update I like, and what I think needs some work, keep in mind that iPadOS 15 is very much still a beta....

And this is how I’ve been rolling for a few years now. And during that time, I’ve noticed something quite interesting. First, the iPhone is buggy. Incredibly buggy. Rarely does a week go by that I’m not fighting some bug or issue on the iPhone.

Apple has a lot to say on the subject of heat, saying that the iPhone (and iPad, iPod, and Apple Watch) operate best at 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C), and warns that it is “especially important to avoid exposing your device to ambient temperatures higher than 95° F (35° C), which can permanently damage battery capacity.” Now, Apple has had a mechanism built into the iPhone that kicks in when the device gets too hot, but it seems that with iOS 16, the company has taken this further....

Because it’s a case – or somewhere between a case and a bumper – the BlackBelt Rugged Case is much lighter than most desktop docks at just over 160g. It’s much more convenient than a dock that you need to either plug and unplug as you’re moving around, or try to tuck behind the screen when you’re using the Surface Pro as a tablet, or an adapter that might get knocked off: once the Kensington case/dock is fitted, it’s as if the Surface Pro just had a couple of extra ports....

But because Kickstarter’s rules have evolved to require prototypes for physical projects, the odds of getting what you “back” have increased. That said, I am explicitly not recommending you back any projects. I am also not evaluating projects based on the team or their viability. Instead, I will devote the occasional Kickstarter Hands-on (and, by extension other crowdfunding sites’ projects) to evaluations of products I can actually hold and use....

“In the past Linux Mint used its own default settings and configured Firefox in a specific way. Most of this configuration is abandoned to go back to Mozilla defaults,” distribution founder Clement Lefebvre wrote. The relationship between Mozilla and Mint is commercial and technical, with hopes that Mint users will be able to update the browser from within Firefox, similar to how Windows users do, rather than needing to use the distribution’s package manager....

Shachar Menashe, senior director of JFrog security research, and Andrey Polkovnychenko explained that hijacking a user’s Discord token (the user’s credentials) effectively gives the attacker full control over the user’s account. “This type of attack has severe implications if executed well, and, in this case, public hack tools made such an attack easy enough for even a novice hacker to perform,” Menashe said. “We recommend organizations take precaution and manage their use of npm for software curation to reduce the risk of introducing malicious code into their applications....
