Surfshark vs. CyberGhost: Which VPN should you get?

zdnet.com Kennedy Otieno 2025-12-27 02:00:18

Allison Murray/ZDNET Surfshark and CyberGhost are consistently ranked among the top VPNs. They are high-value yet relatively affordable VPNs, which is why most users love them. Also: NordVPN vs Surfshark One unique thing about Surfshark is that there's no cap on the number of devices you can connect. It shares a lot with NordVPN, especially from a security point of view. But it's not as streaming-centered as CyberGhost. Also, I had minor but persistent server connection issues with the app, b

In the last 30 years or so, cybersecurity has gone from being a niche specialty within the larger field of computer science, to an industry estimated to be worth more than $170 billion made of a globe-spanning community of hackers. In turn, the industry’s growth, and high-profile hacks such as the 2015 Sony breach, the 2016 U.S. election hack and leak operations, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, and a seemingly endless list of Chinese government hacks, have made cybersecurity and hacking

Tesla Tries to Save the Cybertruck With Its Most Desperate Offer Yet

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-04 00:19:48

Less than two years after its hyped-up debut, Tesla is making an aggressive, almost desperate, move to salvage the Cybertruck, a vehicle widely seen as one of the biggest busts in recent automotive history. Faced with production woes, quality control nightmares, and underwhelming sales, the company has added its polarizing truck to a massive sales event, offering a powerful incentive it has historically reserved for its most loyal customers: a free transfer of its $12,000 Full Self-Driving (FSD

Cybertruck Sales Are Dead in the Water

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for Tesla's Cybertruck, sales for the controversial pickup truck are circling the drain after dropping off a cliff. In numbers, the Elon Musk-owned automaker sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks in the second quarter of 2025, according to the latest data from Cox Automotive's Kelley Blue Book — a stunning 50.8 percent nosedive from the same period last year.

Will Gamers Care About ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ on Mac Like They Did With the Switch 2?

We keep talking about Cyberpunk 2077 five years after launch for good reason. It’s still a high watermark for in-game graphics. I’ve been playing it religiously for the fifth time on Switch 2, amazed that the game runs so well on a slim handheld. Now it’s coming to Apple’s Mac products, and the fanfare has been far more subdued. We’ll see how well it performs when it hits the scene on July 17.

GMC Hummer EV outsold the Tesla Cybertruck last quarter

Sales of Tesla’s Cybertruck have plummeted from their peak last year, to the point that the hulking (and expensive) GMC Hummer EV outsold the polarizing steel-clad curiosity in the second quarter. Tesla sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks in the second quarter, just shy of the 4,508 Hummers that GMC moved in the same period, according to new data from Cox Automotive.

One hard-and-fast requirement for playability is at least 16GB of unified RAM. The 8GB
