As long as they don’t express them with depressingly egotistical certainty, that is. Which does rule out one or two tech CEOs and three or four tech PR people. Still, I was moved when a Japanese company contacted me and claimed its aim is “to create a secure cyberspace that people around the world can use safely.” Wouldn’t that be something? Yet here we are with President Biden cyber-rattling at America’s enemies and worrying that the nation’s cybersecurity just isn’t good enough....

Last week, in a school district in Tennessee, it was the removal of MAUS, the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel by Art Spiegelman, that retells the Holocaust story through the eyes of mice oppressed by fascist cats. This week, we learned of a Texas school district, Granbury (pop. 11,000), removing over 125 titles from library shelves. This comes amid the news of pushback by parents to proposals by Rep. Matt Krause, R-TX, and other lawmakers to pull hundreds of titles from libraries in Texas school districts due to content related to race and sexuality....

On March 14, ESET published a Twitter thread documenting the malware, dubbed CaddyWiper, that was compiled on the same day it was deployed to target networks.

While this DSLR camera is one of the cheaper options when it comes to photography, I put it to the test to see how it stacks up against some of the higher-end mirrorless cameras....

Electric vehicles dramatically reduce carbon emissions, compared to internal combustion vehicles. Pandemic got you afraid to travel?
