cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-15 03:00:00

It feels like I have a password for everything: my bank account, my Amazon Echo Show and even my Netflix app. With so many different devices and accounts, coming up with unique, strong passwords -- and remembering them -- can be overwhelming. It's tempting to get lazy and use the same password for multiple accounts. It's a relatable move, and it's one scammers are counting on. The risks of using old passwords or including personal information in a new one is a big risk to your data and identity

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-15 08:00:24

There's no shortage of reasons to stay off the Meta ecosystem, which includes Facebook and Instagram, but there are some places where WhatsApp remains the main form of text-based communication. The app is a great alternative to SMS, since it offers end-to-end encryption and was one of the go-to methods to send uncompressed photos and videos between iPhone and Android users before Apple adopted RCS. Even though Facebook, which later rebranded to Meta, acquired WhatsApp in 2014, it doesn't require

Is your phone provider’s autopay discount really worth it?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Autopay is easily one of the most convenient ways to pay your bills, especially if you’re like me and struggle to keep track of everything manually. Without autopay, it’s easy to accidentally miss a payment if you’re not careful. In the past, I’ve used autopay for nearly everything — from health and car insurance to utility bills, recurring entertainment subscriptions, and, of course, services like phone plans that offer discounts for autopay enrollment.

Answering the Nintendo Switch 2’s lingering accessibility questions

theverge.com Geoffrey Bunting 2025-09-15 02:00:00

One of the biggest surprises of the Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal was its proposed accessibility. For years, Nintendo has been known for accidentally stumbling on accessibility solutions while stubbornly refusing to engage with the broader subject. Yet, in the Switch 2, there appeared a more holistic approach to accessibility for which disabled players have been crying out. This was supported by a webpage dedicated to the Switch 2’s hardware accessibility. However, specifics were thin and no furth

The curse of Toumaï: an ancient skull and a bitter feud over humanity's origins

news.ycombinator.com Scott Sayare 2025-09-17 18:50:08

On a late-summer day in 2001, at the University of Poitiers in west-central France, the palaeontologist Michel Brunet summoned his colleagues into a classroom to examine an unusual skull. Brunet had just returned from Chad, and brought with him an extremely ancient cranium. It had been distorted by the aeons spent beneath what is now the Djurab desert; a crust of black mineral deposits left it looking charred and slightly malevolent. It sat on a table. “What is this thing?” Brunet wondered aloud
