We don’t talk enough about the amount of paperwork we come across every day. From essential bank documents, work contracts, tax notices, and bills to invoices, application forms, IDs, letters, and more, keeping everything organized can be a chore. And even more so if there’s a mix of physical and digital paperwork to deal with. Scanning your documents and organizing them digitally is a smart idea. But while there are plenty of scanner apps, any features you might need beyond basic scanning are

Why I highly recommend the M4 MacBook Air to most people (and now it's on sale)

The M4 Air supports up to two external monitors with the lid open, and scales up to 32GB of unified memory.

Installing apps on Linux? 4 ways it's different than any other OS - and mistakes to avoid

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When I first started using Linux in the late 90s, there was really only one way to install an application. You would download the app, unpack the archive, run the ./configure command, build the app with make, and then install it with make install. Inevitably, when you ran through that course, you would stumble because of dependencies and have to locate the dependency, run through the same process as you just did (only with the new software), and then find out the ne

British government set to back down on secret iCloud backdoor after US pressure

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-01-17 11:16:30

We learned earlier this year that the British government had secretly ordered Apple to create a backdoor into encrypted data for all iCloud users worldwide. Specifically, it wanted a way to see personal data protected by Apple’s introduction of Advanced Data Protection (ADP), which extended end-to-end encryption to almost all iCloud data, meaning not even the iPhone maker could access it. Apple has been fighting the secret order in secret court hearings, but it now appears that the US governmen

Here’s how Apple Intelligence keeps privacy in mind versus the competition

Artificial intelligence has obviously been the industry craze for the past couple years. While large language models are incredibly capable, they’ve always come with a bit of a compromise: privacy. Ultimately, you’re still using a model hosted in the cloud, and all of your conversations are stored on some server. Apple’s always had privacy at the core of its products – so in the months leading up to the debut of Apple’s AI features, many people wondered: how would Apple handle it? Today, we del

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will add a second front-facing camera on the portrait edge of the upcoming iPad Pro that's expected to launch later this year. It may seem like a small quality-of-life upgrade, but it means the iPad Pro can use either camera to center the subject for selfies or FaceTime calls.

Java was not underhyped in 1997 (2021)

Java Criminally Underhyped? Not Back in 1997. Earlier today, a fun little moment of Twitter serendipity alerted me to an article by Jackson Roberts, a computer science student at the University of Colorado, entitled “Java is criminally underhyped”. It’s a really interesting article, and Jackson’s observations correlate with a lot of my own thinking about languages and platforms, although I am squarely in the .NET / CLR camp on that particular front.

In the mid-1990s you could create useful software without being an ace coder. You had Visual Basic, you had a rich ecosystem of components, you could wire them together to create apps, standing on the shoulders of the coders who built those components. If you’re younger than 45 you may not know what that was like, nor realize web components have never worked the same way.

James Gunn Talks Future Superman Plans, Dropping Henry Cavill

In 2022, the mid-credits scene for Black Adam none too subtly declared Cavill’s return and his team up (or fight) with Dwayne Johnson’s thunderous antihero.
