Ransomware is about to get worse
If the ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline wasn’t bad enough, the owners just made matters worse. Their actions could have rippling effects that hurt us all.
🚨 Cyberattack hits major food supplier: Might want to stock up on your favorites now. United Natural Foods says hackers got into their systems, so they’ve shut down parts of the network. This means delays with order fulfillment and distribution. FYI: They supply products to over 30,000 stores, including Whole Foods. This one could cause some serious ripple effects.
Before your Google Meet: Blur out that pile of laundry before hopping on. When the video preview loads, click the three dots at the bottom. Then, go to Apply visual effects > Blur and personal backgrounds > and choose Blur your background. Once you’re set, hit Join now.
💻 Speed up an old PC: Windows 11’s animations and 3D effects can slow down your graphics card. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Visual effects and turn off Transparency effects and Animation effects. Your desktop won’t look as fancy, but your computer will run faster. Not a bad trade-off.
📡 5G conspiracy theory debunked: Remember the 2019 rumors saying 5G could damage your cells or cause spooky side effects? Well, researchers found the signals only penetrate your skin by less than 1 millimeter (or 0.04 inches if you’re like me and slowly inching toward the metric system). Even at frequencies 10 times what’s considered safe, there’s still no impact on your health. It was all fearmongering.
💊 Hair-raising warning: Hims, Keeps and Ro promising to bring back your hairline? That topical finasteride they’re peddling isn’t FDA-approved (paywall link). Only the pill version is. They also don’t always spell out the side effects: erectile dysfunction, brain fog and depression that can last after you stop trying to get a head of hair.
🎵 Royalty-free music: If you’re a content creator, you don’t want your background music to get flagged. Check out Uppbeat for royalty-free tracks and sound effects. Oh, and remember to follow their licensing terms.
🙏🏻 Not tech, but wow: A toddler diagnosed with autism was unable to speak. A doctor suggested leucovorin, a cheap drug derived from folic acid that eases chemo side effects. The theory? Folic acid is essential for brain development, but it couldn’t be absorbed properly. Leucovorin bypasses this. Three days later, he started speaking. Amazing.
