In announcing the spam policy update, the search engine giant classified the apps targeted for removal into two categories: those with limited functionality and content as well as those that are broken. For example, apps that fail to install, load, or function properly, including those that crash or are non-responsive, will be removed from the Play Store. Static apps, such as text-only or PDF-only apps, and those with minimal features like a single image or wallpaper, will also be banned....

After doing some research, I found that parental control apps are the most reliable tools for blocking websites from opening on Chrome. I tested over 30 free and premium apps, and Qustodio stood out as the best option. It is installed on the device itself, not just the browser, which means it blocks all profiles and also works in Incognito Mode. In addition to blocking specific websites, Qustodio has a powerful web filter that automatically blocks millions of inappropriate or dangerous websites that you may have never heard of....

Unfortunately, not many VPNs have reliable servers in Chile or robust security measures to keep you safe online. After testing some of the best VPNs on the market, I found that ExpressVPN is the best overall VPN for Chile, thanks to its lightning-fast speeds and high-level security. Plus, since the VPN backs its service with a 30*-day money-back guarantee, you can get a Chile IP address with ExpressVPN in total confidence....

The game PUBG, while globally popular, is prohibited in certain countries such as India, China, and Nepal due to reasons like high levels of violence or its distracting nature for students. However, if you’re visiting these countries, you can use a service like ExpressVPN to continue playing PUBG with your local account. I’ve tested dozens of VPNs to find the 3 best services for PUBG. The top choice, ExpressVPN, has fast speeds and global servers for smooth, lag-free PUBG gameplay in any region....

Redirect viruses are subtle and difficult to detect unless you have a trustworthy antivirus. However, many antivirus solutions upsell themselves and aren’t all that great. I tested 20+ brands and picked the best 5 for removing redirect viruses. Norton is my #1 pick because it offers perfect real-time detection scores with a powerful firewall, anti-phishing, and anti-spam filters. You can buy Norton with confidence as it’s backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee....

Thankfully, VPNs are a much better way to watch Colombian TV while traveling overseas. They ensure reliable access to Colombian TV platforms and maintain consistently fast speeds for lag-free UHD streaming. There are several options, but I found that ExpressVPN is the best choice for watching Colombian TV. Editor’s Note: Transparency is one of our core values at WizCase, so you should know we are in the same ownership group as ExpressVPN....

It’s possible to use software called a VPN to watch UEFA matches that aren’t available in your location. This changes the appearance of your IP address so streaming services think you’re in a different place, allowing access to your account. However, this may go against your streaming service’s terms of use, so check before you connect with a VPN. Of all the VPNs tested, ExpressVPN is the top choice for streaming the UEFA Champions League....

Clément Delangue, co-founder and CEO of Hugging Face, announced the launch of the new robotic arm on the social media platform X this Monday.

Last Updated: Aug 3, 2025 After carrying out my tests, I can say Invizbox is a pretty good solution. It allowed me to connect all my devices with a simple-to-use interface. It also supports TOR for additional privacy, and I found the support agents to be helpful. However, I could only unblock 2 streaming services during my tests. Moreover, unlike a VPN app, I couldn’t select or switch between protocols like OpenVPN or Wireguard on the router....

A phishing campaign discovered by cybersecurity researchers reveals that hackers are sending fake W-9 tax forms through email, impersonating the IRS. However, the form is a disguised Emotet malware, capable of stealing sensitive information from infected endpoints and propagating itself. The Emotet malware can also serve as a dropper, enabling attackers to distribute various other types of malware, such as ransomware. Following Microsoft’s decision to block macros in downloaded Office documents by default, Emotet adopted a new strategy, utilizing Microsoft OneNote files containing embedded scripts to install the malware....

Thankfully, using a top VPN keeps you protected online. A reliable VPN like ExpressVPN offers AES 256-bit encryption to safeguard your traffic against prying eyes and a strict no-logs policy to ensure none of your browsing activity is stored on the app’s servers. Editor’s Note: Transparency is one of our core values at WizCase, so you should know we are in the same ownership group as ExpressVPN. That said, our detailed reviews follow a strict methodology that examines all relevant performance factors to help you arrive at your own informed conclusion....

The lawsuit, brought by tenants Mary Louis and Monica Douglas, alleged that the algorithm used by SafeRent disproportionately discriminated against Black and Hispanic renters who relied on housing vouchers, violating the Fair Housing Act, as first reported by The Guardian. SafeRent rejected Mary Louis’s rental application despite a strong reference from her landlord. A lawsuit alleged SafeRent’s scoring discriminated against Black and Hispanic renters using vouchers. Federal agencies are monitoring the case as AI regulation in housing remains limited....

Last Updated: Aug 1, 2025 Lifetime Premium VPN fell short of my expectations. I found it to be a pretty basic security solution as it did not offer many servers, had slow connections, and did not offer good customer service. One advantage is that the apps ran smoothly, and I didn’t experience any lag or crash issues. However, it lacks quality security and privacy features. By signing up to the VPN’s lifetime offer, you can give the software a try risk-free via the 7-day money-back guarantee....

MIT researchers have introduced a new algorithm designed to make AI decision-making models more efficient, especially for complex tasks like controlling traffic in cities. Model-Based Transfer Learning (MBTL) improves performance while reducing data and computational needs. MBTL was five to 50 times more efficient than traditional reinforcement learning methods. The researchers plan to extend MBTL for more complex real-world problems. The algorithm improves upon traditional reinforcement learning, which often struggles with variability across different tasks....

I compared NordPass and LastPass across several aspects, including features, ease of use, security, and privacy. Both contenders are excellent, but NordPass leads in every domain. Unlike LastPass, it hasn’t been a victim of a data breach and includes privacy-focused features like email masking. That said, LastPass is better for vault recovery and has a few unique features, like blocking logins from unknown locations. But overall, I’d pick NordPass. You can try NordPass risk-free with its 30-day free trial and 30-day money-back guarantee....

The BlackBerry has experienced a revival among young adults who seek a digital detox from their connected lives. Gen Z is reviving BlackBerry phones as a form of digital detox. TikTok videos romanticize “nostalgia tech” and physical keyboards. Users crave simpler phones to reduce stress and screen time. “I just feel like the time of the BlackBerry phone was very nostalgic,” said Victoria Zannino, 25, in an interview with The New York Times....

According to The Guardian, Ofcom performed its annual survey on news habits, and 71% of the population said they watch the news through online services, a 3% increase compared to the previous year. It’s a slightly higher percentage compared to the adult population who included using the television, which was 70%, but it is the first time online content surpasses television in the traditional survey. This phenomenon has been described as a “generational shift in the balance of news media....

Many of the resources included in this article provide employment or recruitment services such as direct placement, internships, and fellowships, and also host job boards with remote work listings. Some organizations offer networking opportunities, career coaching, training programs, and job-search support. Digital tools are available, mostly for free, that can help you write resumes, jazz up your LinkedIn profile, and show that your military skills and experiences are job-ready. I’ve also listed initiatives that are focused on upskilling veterans to get them hired in the tech industry, where there are plenty of remote work opportunities....

The Paris AI Action Summit, held last week, encouraged multiple European and international nations and companies to make major moves and announcements that increased tensions and sparked debate in the AI sphere. French President Emmanuel Macron has urged the region to be more ambitious in AI development, just like the European Space Agency Chief Josef Aschbacher did with space initiatives a few months ago—and it worked. Macron’s actions toward gaining more visibility and leverage in the global AI race began days before the AI Action Summit when he signed a 50 billion euro agreement with the United Arab Emirates to build the largest AI data center in Europe in France, showing that significant change on AI development is coming to the European Union....

First published: Jul 16, 2020 Updated 2 times since publishing After extensive tests, I found that Panda is a reliable antivirus but isn’t as good as the industry leaders. It has many unique features, like the Process Monitor and Rescue Kit, but its detection scores fall short compared to top choices like Norton. Also, while its plans offer decent value for money, they aren’t the cheapest. If you want basic security, Panda’s free plan is worth getting....
