Audacity is a great audio editor. Very intuitive GUI and easy to learn and to teach to others. I was able to teach a musician friend of mine to be able to lay tracks, edit and splice in about 20 minutes even though had very little technical

I purchased an Alcatel smartphone several years back and about a week after the device received a firmware update I started getting weird pop-ups with fake virus warnings that led to some bogus cleaner app on the Play Store. I started exami

I have an older Asus that I want to flash with Merlin as well. Will Merlin flash like a normal firmware update or does it require the Windows based “recovery tool” to force the flashing of Merlin? Thanks for any response.

WFC is an excellent Windows based firewall. It also has the option to see the location of the executable trying to access the web and to also upload a hash of the file to VirusTotal. I have been using this back before when it was a paid pro

I highly recommend turning off all notifications/ringers as well. Now, if I turn on notifications I realize just how annoying and distracting they can be. I also block any phone calls that aren’t on my contact list. Others can leave a

Imagine if this app had opened the Chrome browser tabs to a specially crafted webpage that exploited a vulnerability in Chrome like the recent zero days in the V8 scripting engine.

I have LuLu installed on an old MacBook Pro and it does work well. It comes with preset rules to allow most of the essential apps communicate with Apple but they can be overridden to stop my computer from even getting the NPT time.

Another problem is with the cheap Android devices that come with a preinstalled rootkit disguised as the firmware update app. (fota.apk) It uses LUA scripts to install apps remotely and can grant any app any permission and run as system le
