As the Russia-Ukraine War escalates, cable news ratings have skyrocketed. But look at what they’re showing you: Social media posts and online influencers.
There’s no question the Ukraine invasion is a social media war — the world’s first. Many TV interviews are with Ukrainians who are garnering large social media followings. TikTok is filled with video clips of after-bombing scenes and bomb shelters. They are shot on smartphones by citizens and shared directly with the world, bypassing traditional media outlets.
When you think of a home security system, you might imagine bandits and creepy burglars dressed all in black lurking on the perimeter of your house attempting to find a way in. You think of the loud intruder alert and that critical four-digit safe code pin that you often see being dramatized in the movies.
The latest smartphones are no match for previous models, as the technology makes them faster and more powerful. Millions of people worldwide upgrade their mobile devices to the newest available to benefit from these improvements.
Most people have an extensive contact list saved on their mobile phones. So, when a call comes through from an unknown number, it usually arouses suspicion. Unfortunately, it is more than likely a robocall or scammer.
Over the last few weeks, several recalls have involved food products. Recently, the discovery of a massive rodent infestation at a Family Dollar Stores warehouse sparked a recall of several products.
A few days earlier, a recall included baby formula due to dangerous bacteria, and several frozen products and ice cream suffered the same fate for potentially harboring deadly listeria. The bacteria has been found in many products since 2020.
If the current events in Ukraine have proven one thing, it is that technology plays a significant role in distributing and disseminating information. Over the last few days, live webcams have provided a bird’s eye view of assaulted cities, and social media is being used to coordinate evacuations.
Burning calories is a key to losing weight and staying in shape. However, you should never feel an actual burn when working out. Unfortunately, that is what some Fitbit owners have had to deal with recently.
It wasn’t because they hit the gym too hard or that Fitbit built personal motivators into its smartwatches. But an issue with some batteries led to injuries and a subsequent recall of thousands of gadgets.
Whether you use Windows or Apple, both major players constantly update and advance what they offer to customers. Tap or click here for details on Windows 11 features you need to try.
Microsoft’s recent Windows 11 update brought several significant upgrades to PC, seeking to outpace Apple. But, the most significant change was to the app store.
Filing taxes is a chore that most people don’t want to deal with. Unfortunately, there is no way of getting around them. It should be a painless experience, but the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) made things more complex late last year.
Anyone who thinks they’ll be unaffected by the Russia-Ukraine war is dead wrong. During World War II, conflicts were confined to physical battlefields. Thanks to the internet, cyberwar is a new threat that impacts every corner of the globe.
