Macs have a strong reputation for being smooth and reliable, and Apple’s tight control over hardware and software is a big reason for that. Use one long enough, however, and you may still run into slowdowns, freezes, strange behavior, or that familiar feeling that something is simply off. Apple’s own tools can help, but only to a point. Disk Utility is useful for storage-related checks, but it does not give you a wider picture of your Mac’s overall health. I recently came across Techtool Lite, a free diagnostic and maintenance app from Micromat that looks at more than just your…
The iQOO Z11 seems to finally be on its way to India, according to a new post on X by Nipun Marya, the brand’s CEO in the country. The Z11 launched in China in March, and then made it to some other markets in May, but there are quite a few differences between the two versions. Now a tipster over on X says the Indian Z11 won’t be the international Z11, so we may in the end be looking at three devices using the same name while having slightly different specs. The tipster in question has revealed the fact that…
In the movie Moneyball, the Oakland A’s didn’t need more data; they needed to know which data actually won games. Risk assessment data has the same problem. A CVSS score of 9.1 might mean little to a CFO; the fact that it represents a vulnerability in a payment system processing $2 million daily means a great deal. This data must therefore link to information about operational disruptions that can cause financial loss, product delays, or draw the ire of regulatory authorities, for it to become more actionable. A More Connected Risk Lifecycle is the Way Forward Periodic risk assessment cannot…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech For over a year now, sober-minded observers have warned that the AI bubble can’t last for much longer. Unfortunately for everybody, it’s managed to outperform even the most cynical doomsday forecasts, to the degree that the US economy is now in even worse shape than it was right before an infamous downturn in the late 1920s. That’s according to the Telegraph‘s economics columnist Russ Mould, who notes that the overvaluation of US stocks has passed the level that brought the stock market to…
A few months ago, a relatively unknown tipster on Weibo claimed that the Huawei Mate XT2 will debut in October. Now, the reliable Digital Chat Station has reported that the next-gen triple foldable is coming in the second half of this year – and that it won’t be alone. The new foldables will likely feature the Kirin 9050 Pro chipset that should be introduced with the Mate 90 series. This chipset is said to have a performance comparable to 3nm chips, though it probably won’t be manufactured on a 3nm node. The current best chip from Huawei is the Kirin…
VLC has been around for over two decades, and yet most people still use it the way they did on day one. Its humble interface may not give you many clues, but VLC is quite capable. And no, I’m not talking about features, like screen recording, video streaming, format converter, or skins. You probably know about these already. I’m talking about VLC add-ons. Unlike other hidden VLC features, these can actually change how you consume media for good.

Securonix has uncovered a sophisticated multi-stage malware delivery framework that uses compromised websites and social engineering to infect users with information stealers. Dubbed Veil#Drop, the framework combines JavaScript launchers and PowerShell download cradles for the deployment and execution of malware hosted on Blogspot, Google’s trusted infrastructure. The infection chain begins with a JavaScript file posing as a document, designed to launch PowerShell code and evade execution policies. The PowerShell retrieves additional payloads from attacker-controlled Blogspot pages. The Blogspot-hosted payload displays a decoy document, terminates specific processes, and decrypts embedded content. The decoded code generates additional Blogspot URLs and executes subsequent…
