Instagram now lets you share Spotify songs with sound to Stories

Instagram announced Monday that it’s finally adding the ability for users to listen to previews of songs that they’ve shared from Spotify to Stories.

Mortgage Rate Predictions: How Tariffs, War and the Fed Are Impacting Rates

A CarFax for Used PCs; Hewlett Packard wants to give old laptops new life

The United Nations’ Global E-waste Monitor estimates that the world generates over 60 million metric tons of e-waste annually. Furthermore, this number is rising five times faster than e-waste recycling. Much of this waste comes from prematurely discarded electronic devices.

However, many of these devices are still functional and could perform well with minor upgrades or maintenance. The i

I Took Photoshop's Generative AI for a Spin. These Are the Tools That Stuck Out

Photoshop is all in on generative AI, and it wants you to give it a whirl, too. Adobe has added a number of AI features to its premiere photo editor over the past few years; if you use Photoshop regularly, you've probably seen these pop up on your task bars.

Many ransomware strains will abort if they detect a Russian keyboard installed (2021)

In a Twitter discussion last week on ransomware attacks, KrebsOnSecurity noted that virtually all ransomware strains have a built-in failsafe designed to cover the backsides of the malware purveyors: They simply will not install on a Microsoft Windows computer that already has one of many types of virtual keyboards installed — such as Russian or Ukrainian. So many readers had questions in response to the tweet that I thought it was worth a blog post exploring this one weird cyber defense trick.
