Twitter FYP is intentionally designed to make you angry because it drives engagement, use Following tab instead

Microsoft will charge $30 for an extra year of security updates on Windows 10 - NotebookCheck.net News in c/technology@lemmy.ml

A lot cheaper than I thought but I guess it depends on how long they intend to offer it for. Will it just be this one year to help people transition to Windows 11 or will it be a more regular arrangement?

Apple put the Magic Mouse’s charging port on the bottom again in c/technology@lemmy.ml

One of those stupid old design decisions that Apple is super stubborn about because they’re convinced that they are right and their customers are wrong. Very much similar to the old iOS volume controls that took up most of the screen

Some setups have you sitting further away from the screen like when people hook up their computers to TVs. Also less cables means less cable management

This is very important for everyone to know. Recently there has been a big development with phishing (people stealing your online credentials using fake communications pretending to be from companies or governments).

To explain it simply, a certain group of cybercriminals have developed a sophisticated method of impersonating websites such that the websites will appear to be secure in your web browser (something you would usually see with a locked padlock icon).

What's worse still, is that they have also developed a way to break 2 Factor Authentication (2FA - when you sign in to an online account with both a password and an extra code sent to your phone, email or from an authenticator app).

You may soon start to see very convincing communications claiming to be from companies or governments, be extremely careful to check the web address (URLs) in any communications that are sent to you and if any doubt, just don't click it and do not give them your passwords or 2FA codes. Please share this with people you know who are vulnerable to phishing.
