Huawei has had its share of controversy, but it’s still one of the largest smartphone manufacturers globally. In spite of a ban on some Huawei networking devices in the US and other countries, many Huawei phones have been well received, like the brand’s P30 Pro phone, which first hit the market in 2019. Huawei rereleased the P30 Pro in June 2020. What’s so special about the P30 Pro?

Spammers rarely send their unsolicited messages using their own email address in the From field. Not only would this reveal their identity, but it would also allow recipients to write angry replies. (You can still find out where the spam email originated, though, and complain to the spammer’s Internet Service Provider.) Authors of worms and viruses desire the opposite of what spammers want, but the result is similar. For infections to spread, social engineering is essential, and the crucial point is that the malicious code appears to come from a friend or trusted source....

iPadOS 16 and iOS 16, coming this fall, add a slew of great new features and tweaks. It’s a laundry list of the fixes and improvements that nerds have dreamed about for years.

Here we cover the similarities and differences between Aux and Bluetooth.

Most routers support a toggle for broadcasting, or not broadcasting, the SSID. Is SSID Broadcast a Network Security Risk? Consider an analogy of a burglar. Locking the door when leaving the house is a wise decision because it prevents the average burglar from walking right in. However, a determined one will either break through the door, pick the lock, or enter through a window. Similarly, while it’s a better decision to keep your SSID hidden, it’s not a fool-proof security measure....

Speed vs. Color LCD monitors struggle with color and speed. Color on an LCD has three layers of colored dots that make up the final pixel. To display a color, a current is applied to each color layer to generate the desired intensity that results in the final color. The problem is that to get the colors, the current must move the crystals on and off to the desired intensity levels....
