Our Opinion Phil doesn’t plan to do anything differently and says he’ll just keep protecting his identity the same ways he always has. He changes passwords at least once or twice a year and doesn’t click on things in emails. He also uses Spycloud, a service that informs him “of any intrusions of online services and if [his] details turned up on any of the exposed data.” Simon feels the key takeaway from the Equifax hack is the idea that “no company is too big to be hacked....

Unfortunately, many Mac users are not happy with Finder’s default set up, so they often look for a replacement or ways to enhance it. Tools like TotalFinder and Path Finder are popular alternatives. Today we’re going to look at a new Finder enhancement plugin, called XtraFinder. Similar to TotalFinder, XtraFinder is free (at least for now) and adds tabs, new menu items and other useful features to Finder. Installation XtraFinder can be downloaded from the official website....

If you’re in the market for a high-quality but relatively compact television set for not a lot of money, Samsung has got you covered with this QLED TV deal. The company’s only store is currently selling the Samsung Q50A for just £349, which is £30 less than its normal price of £379, making it a seriously tempting offer if you want a QLED set on the cheap.

YouTube is, essentially, one of the greatest frontiers of New Media. It’s a hub where anybody can watch videos for free, anybody can make and share videos for free, and content creators can make some pocket change or make a living that would make a businessman green with envy. It’s a platform run by Google and its advertisers, but unfortunately for them, it only breaks even. That’s where YouTube RED comes in....

What Is “The System Cannot Find the Path Specified” Error? “The system cannot find the path specified” error means the currently logged-in PC user does not have the proper permission to access a file or folder.

The premise of the Android applications below is to supply a picture to have other people vote up or down whether they like it or not. This is a pretty simple yet powerful way to get hones opinions from people because people are not afraid to tell a stranger what they think. Both of the applications below need you to sign up for a free account. 1. Thumb Thumb for Android is a social question asking and answering application....

1: Population While we have the possibility of over 9 billion phone numbers (10 digits, per country), the IPv4 protocol only gives us up to 4 billion addresses in its space. Considering that there are 7 billion people on this planet, it’s more feasible to make a choice that gives us more possibilities. The 4-billion-address limit is not exactly at 4 billion. It’s more like 4,294,967,296. It’s still somewhere around that ballpark, and still not enough for the entire planet....

1: What Is a MAC Address? “MAC” is short for “media access control,” and it is used when talking about unique addresses that identify the hardware we use to connect to the internet. In most people’s cases, this is a network interface controller (NIC). But not everyone uses an NIC to connect to the internet. Some people use internal WAN adapters to make wireless connections (through Wi-Fi). These, too, have MAC addresses....

Instead, you’ll have to cobble together various solutions. This article covers three of them. Each solution is good, but to get the most out of it it’s probably best to try all three. How to Add Gestures to Your Android Device with Nova Launcher Prime Perhaps the best way to add gesture support to your Android device is at the launcher level. This is because out of everything you interact with on Android, a launcher is what you’ll see the most....

Here are four Android apps that encourage us to do more than sit on our backsides and stare at the screen. 1. Daylight Daylight wants you to get off the couch, step outside, and absorb some of the sun’s rays. How does it go about doing this? By utilizing peer pressure and resorting to good old-fashioned nagging! The app will send you a notification when you’ve been inside for a set amount of time or when the weather is nice, prompting you to go take a walk or find some other outdoor activity....

1. DuckDuckGo Likely the best-named alternative on this list, DuckDuckGo has from its infancy focused heavily on privacy. Leveraging hundreds of sources, including Microsoft’s own Bing browser or its own web crawler, search results are highly customizable. On top of its privacy focus, the search results page is fairly minimal, so your attention is on quality results. One of the best aspects of this choice is how spam is kept to a minimum....

1. Using Password Reset Disk Using a password reset disk is one of the easiest methods to follow to reset your forgotten Windows password. The only downside of this procedure is that you need to have the password reset disk created beforehand. Miguel already wrote a great tutorial on how to create a password reset disk and how to use it reset your Windows password. So, do follow the guide. That being said, if you are using Windows 10 then you need to be using the local account in order to create a password reset disk....

1. Enhancer for YouTube If you like keeping your browser installation clean, lean and mean, with only a minimal selection of addons, and don’t want to install more than one for tweaking YouTube, Enhancer for YouTube (Chrome, Firefox) should be the one to use. In its Settings page you will find plenty of customization options. For example, in the Toolbar group of options, you can tweak the buttons that appear in a new toolbar Enhancer will add over each YouTube video....

The following are some of the best graphical Git clients for Linux. 1. Git Cola Git Cola has been around for a decent amount of time, and it’s a classic example of an open-source Linux tool that does exactly what it needs to, without getting bogged down with a lot of unnecessary extras. Git Cola is written in Python and features a GTK interface, so it integrates perfectly with most desktops....

1. Your Game’s Not Up To Date Many games, especially those ported to the PC (such as Grand Theft Auto), have a tendency to bug out very frequently from the initial launch of the game. This is due to the rush that happens when people try to make a PC release soon after the console version has launched. PC releases take a lot of work to port, and you seldom get a bug-free game....

1. Hello Kids Hello Kids is a kids’ site, but it has many great coloring resources for adults, too. The resources are not specifically labeled as such, but I think many guys (and girls) will love the Star Wars or Superheroes coloring sections, for example, even though they are not specifically marked for adults. Many of the sections there, e.g. Mandala, Famous People, or European Soccer, are more suitable for adults than for pre-schoolers....

1. Path Finder Path Finder is the elder statesman of Finder alternative applications and my personal favorite. It might be called a “Finder replacement,” but that’s not as drastic as it sounds. Path Finder doesn’t modify or replace the built-in Finder program. Instead, it runs simultaneously, providing advanced functionality and new tools in a different application. It “replaces” Finder in the sense that, if you love Path Finder, you won’t need to use the vanilla Finder again....
