Now that the Galaxy Note 10 is available (here’s everywhere you can buy it), it’s no surprise that Marvel Avengers wallpapers have been created. Much like the Galaxy S10, the hole-punch camera on the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus’ “Infinity-O displays” is located on the screen, which might be distracting to some users. However, the Note 10 only has …

YouTube Wednesday announced massive changes to how it treats kids videos, as the US Federal Trade Commission hit Google with new rules and a record $170 million penalty to settle a probe into the privacy of children’s data on giant video site. It’s the largest penalty ever levied for violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA.  YouTube’s CEO and some …

We’ll see Apple’s new iPhones in exactly one week, but a suspected benchmarking test might hint at one model’s specs. Geekbench took a closer look at the “iPhone 12.1,” which 9to5Mac said is the successor to iPhone XR (last year’s lowest spec model), and it doesn’t sound like much of a leap forward. The test suggested that the new iPhone is …

Recently I went to pick up my lunch from Subway. I stood in line as they made my sandwich, and when I went to pay, I frantically searched my wallet only to realize I had left my debit card at home. It was one of a million boneheaded moves that people make every day, but one that’s completely avoidable if …

The battle over how to classify ride-hail drivers in California has intensified, with neither side backing down. After a caravan of drivers protested across the state earlier this week, Uber and Lyft began widely circulating online petitions on Wednesday. The companies’ goal: Get people to join them in defeating Assembly Bill 5 as it’s currently written before it becomes law. …

Google’s Project Zero security researchers have revealed that they found several hacked websites that slipped malware onto people’s iPhones for years. If people visited one of the sites, their messages, photos and location data could have been compromised. The team reported its findings to Apple earlier this year, and the vulnerability was patched in the same update that fixed the FaceTime …

Update, September 1: This deal is no longer available. Back in March, Dell introduced a new version of its already-very-good XPS 13 laptop. Dan Ackerman’s verdict: “We’ve finally run out of complaints.” The near-perfect system easily won a spot on CNET’s list of the best laptops for 2019. Of course, it’s not an inexpensive machine, especially when you start piling …

Take a look at this photo. Two pairs of Apple AirPods, right? Nope: One of them is a clone, a knockoff, an off-brand replica. If you’ve seen these before — and they’re everywhere nowadays — I’ll bet you wondered the same thing I did: How do they compare? Can $32 true-wireless earbuds possibly rival Apple’s $159 ones? As the Cheapskate, …

There’s a special place in my heart for The Karate Kid, and not just because I had a mad crush on Elisabeth Shue. In 1984, I was exactly the right age for the story about an awkward teen who stands up to bullies with the help of a kind mentor. (Could have used one of those.) Of course, when Cobra …

Your conversations with Siri won’t be going directly to Apple anymore. The tech giant said Wednesday that it will stop retaining voice recordings by default.  Apple announced the Siri privacy changes after The Guardian reported in July that contractors were regularly listening to conversations from people giving voice commands. While the data is anonymized, those conversations included identifiable details like …
