If you’ve ever spent time frantically searching for an outlet in a crowded airport, panicked over your phone battery at a music festival, or just wished you could charge everything without lugging around a mess of cables, you’re not alone. It’s frustrating (and can be kind of scary) when you don’t have any charge left on your phone. What if you have an emergency? What if the group chat keeps texting you and you can’t respond?

Low-wage support workers become a new gateway for cyberattacks

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2026-03-09 19:53:00

Editor's take: As businesses increasingly rely on outsourced tech support to cut costs, the risks associated with these operations are coming into sharper focus. The threat is no longer just about technical vulnerabilities; it's about the people behind the screens, and the growing pressure they face from both economic hardship and sophisticated cybercriminals. Hackers are increasingly turning the very systems designed to help customers – outsourced tech support and call centers – into powerful

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify is working on a feature to import your music. Currently, the service offers no way to import music from other services. We also discovered a URL for the feature. Hopping from one music service to another can be a pain for multiple reasons. However, losing the playlists you spent all of that time creating may be the biggest pain of all.

Today’s laptops are almost comically bereft of ports. They have to be thin and portable, right? So that must mean they don’t need connectivity. At least, that’s kind of what it seems that companies might be thinking, which is a bit silly. We need those slots, namely USB-C ports, for charging, data transfers, and just about everything else we need to do on our laptops. If you’re tired of dealing with this, you might want to grab something that’s part of the solution: a USB-C hub! See at Amazon

Spanish blackout report: Power plants meant to stabilize voltage didn’t

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-13 14:15:24

The blackout that took down the Iberian grid serving Spain and Portugal in April was the result of a number of smaller interacting problems, according to an investigation by the Spanish government. The report concludes that several steps meant to address a small instability made matters worse, eventually leading to a self-reinforcing cascade where high voltages caused power plants to drop off the grid, thereby increasing the voltage further.
