File Explorer works. It just doesn’t work well enough. Search is slow, file transfers are unreliable, there are no easy previews, no folder sizes, and no way to automate file organization. The list goes on. The good news is that there are enough third-party apps available that address every one of those shortcomings. They’re all free and don’t force you to ditch File Explorer. Related I carry this free Windows tool on a USB drive — it’s the fastest way to find what’s wasting space on any PC The fastest way to find storage hogs. Listary The search bar that…

The token can then be used to log in via the SmartConsole with full administrator privileges, and make changes to the security policy and configuration. “Check Point confirmed that this vulnerability has been observed in the wild, affecting a limited…
A PHD in math disproved an 87 year old math problem with about two hours of working with Anthropic Fable. The Jacobian conjecture (JC) has been disproved in dimension 3 (and thus all higher dimensions), via the explicit counterexample announced in that X post. The Jacobian conjecture (originally stated by Keller in 1939, with roots going back to Kraus in 1884) asserts the following over a field of characteristic zero be a polynomial map. If the Jacobian determinant det(JF)\det(JF)\det(JF) is a nonzero constant, then (F) is invertible and its inverse is also a polynomial map (i.e., (F) is a polynomial…
Lenovo has revealed more details about an upcoming Legion gaming handheld that could be among the thinnest and lightest devices in its category. The Legion C700 will measure just 14.99mm at its thinnest point and weigh approximately 556 grams, or around 1.25 pounds. By comparison, Lenovo’s Legion Go S is 22.6mm thick and weighs about 730 grams, while the ASUS ROG Ally X measures 24.7mm and weighs 678 grams. Trimming these figures down should make the C700 much easier to hold for long periods and carry in a bag. But all of this portability comes at a cost–and that’s cloud…

The Google Pixel Watch 5 is expected to go official on August 12 alongside the Pixel 11 series smartphones. Recently leaked renders revealed the Pixel Watch 5 will look identical to the Pixel Watch 4. Now a Google Play Console listing reveals the Pixel Watch 5’s CPU and GPU will also be the same as its predecessor. The Google Pixel Watch 5, codenamed “godric,” is listed on the Google Play Console with Qualcomm’s SW5100 SoC, the same base chip used by Pixel Watch 2, 3, and 4. The Pixel Watch 5 also has four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.7GHz and…
A highly popular Chrome extension made by Adobe was affected by a vulnerability that could have been exploited to silently steal a user’s WhatsApp chats and contacts. According to web and browser security firm Guardio, whose researchers discovered and reported the vulnerability to Adobe, an attacker could have stolen users’ WhatsApp data simply by tricking them into visiting a seemingly harmless webpage. The exploit did not involve a WhatsApp vulnerability, malware deployment, compromised credentials, or access to the targeted device. The attack, dubbed HermeticReader, affected the Adobe Acrobat Chrome extension, which is installed in approximately 329 million browsers. Adobe patched…

According to new information from a tipster on X, Oppo is currently testing the upcoming Find X10, Find X10 Pro, and Find X10 Pro Max alongside the iPhone 17 Pro, presumably to compare their camera prowess against Apple’s latest flagship. The images below seem to show all three devices in a rig with the iPhone 17 Pro, and even though the Oppos are inside a case that’s meant to obscure their designs, we can make out the fact that they all appear to have an iPhone-like two-part rear panel design. Or, to put it another way, an iPhone-like gigantic rectangular…
