I torture-tested this Windows 11 tablet that's built to thrive where others fail

ZDNET's key takeaways The DT Research tablet is built as rugged as it gets, with IP65, MIL-STD-810H, and MIL-STD-461G certifications. The choice of Intel Core i5 and i7 processors offers flexibility when buying the system. The tablet is big and rather chunky, far larger than a traditional iPad. View now at CDW Let's face it: Your average laptop or tablet is a pretty fragile piece of technology. One accidental drop, and more often than not, something critical -- usually the display -- decides

Obscura VPN – Privacy that's more than a promise

Unlike VPNs with a “no-logs” policy, Obscura is provably private by design. Even “no-logs” VPNs see both your identity and your internet activity, meaning you have to blindly trust their pinky-promise for privacy. This is exactly why some privacy-conscious folks will tell you not to use a VPN at all. Obscura is different – we never see your decrypted internet packets. It’s simply impossible for us to log your internet activity, even if we were compelled to, or if our servers were compromised.

It’s Raining SpaceX Debris in Poland

If you happened to be awake and looking at the sky at around 3:30 am in Northern Europe on Wednesday, you got quite the show.

I Tested the Oppo Find N5, and This Is What a Foldable Should Feel Like

Oppo's latest foldable, unveiled Thursday, is being marketed as "the world's thinnest book-style foldable when closed."
