The online marketplace is where you can find anything from second-hand clothing to furniture. However, there’s also a dedicated area for new and refurbished technology, including smartphones, laptops, smart Internet of Things (IoT) devices, gaming consoles, headphones, drones, and more. Sales are fairly frequent, and sometimes you can find a real steal or two. One of our current favorites is the LG 27" Ultragear 240Hz gaming monitor, a flat FHD IPS (1920 x 1920) display for gamers and individuals working from home....

For enterprises, which are increasingly interested in using 5G indoors as networking technology, one of the most important aspects of 5G is that it is about structuring the network for defined service in a way that could never be done before. That aspect of the matter, which is largely about software, means that 5G is much more than a radio upgrade. It could, in fact, bring significant change to the way that software runs networking for corporate LANs....

The appeal was raised back in September, but the latest filing is the games developer’s first crack at re-explaining the merits of its case for an appellate hearing.

The latest victim comes by way of Ronin, which detailed that 173,600 in Ethereum (ETH) and 25.5 million in USD coin had departed its clutches across a pair of transactions that occurred a week ago. The Ronin Network said it only found out when a user on Tuesday wanted to withdraw 5,000 ETH but was unable to. “ETH and USDC deposits on Ronin have been drained from the bridge contract....

The FCC is doing this by forbidding legitimate telecom companies from taking calls originating from voice service providers whose certification doesn’t appear in the FCC’s Robocall Mitigation Database. This means “voice service providers will be prohibited from directly accepting that provider’s traffic.” Technically that works because telecoms must now block traffic from “voice service providers that have neither certified to implementation of STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication standards nor filed a detailed robocall mitigation plan with the FCC....

Also: The best laptops: Does Apple take the crown? In early 2018, I stopped using the Surface Pro 4 and made the Google Pixelbook my primary home office computer. The Pixelbook was replaced by the Pixel Slate that has now been trumped by the Pixelbook Go. I probably shouldn’t have sold off my Pixelbook, but I honestly like the more modern design, better keyboard, and 16:9 display of the Pixelbook Go....

On a year-on-year comparison, there were six reported rider injuries during the quarter, compared to 25 last year. The NSW government has pinned the significant reduction on the work it has been doing to improve safety standards for gig economy platforms and riders. “Despite more and more riders being on the road, it’s reassuring to see that injury and fatality rates have reduced significantly since last year,” Minister for Better Regulation Kevin Anderson said....

The Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar is advertised to provide up to 122 hours of GPS tracking with solar charging.

The Enduro 2 is clearly not built for casual athletes but for those who participate in the most grueling races today....

Over the next year, the three tech giants will implement passwordless FIDO sign-in standards across Android and Chrome; iOS, macOS and Safari; and Windows and Edge. This means that, sooner or later, you won’t need a password to log into devices, websites or applications. Instead, your phone will store a FIDO credential called a passkey, which is used to unlock your device – and your entire online account. A passkey is significantly more secure than a password because it’s protected with cryptography and is only shown to your online account when you unlock your device....
