The Verge (opens in new tab) reported that a listing by a Korean retailer has the Surface Laptop Go 2 to get a suite of upgrades, with the standout being a new 11th-gen Intel processor, a Core i5-1135G7 to be precise. We’ve heard this rumored before, and this would be a welcome upgrade to the 10th-gen processor in the Surface Laptop Go. However, we would much rather Microsoft go for a 12th Gen Alder Lake chip instead for the best possible performance....

You may not know them by this name, but most mobile carriers in the U.S. fall under this category, and they offer some excellent cell plans that you should check out if you’re in the market for a new phone. So what are MVNOs, and are they any good? To answer the first question, MVNOs are carriers that don’t have their own wireless network; instead, they piggyback off another carrier’s platform for coverage through their cell phone plans....

Navigating the service’s deep content library is a breeze; and while the all-powerful Netflix recommendation algorithm isn’t perfect, it tends to hit more than it misses. If you’ve spent a lot of time using Netflix, you might think you know all the platform’s secrets and shortcuts, but there are actually a few hidden features you might not be familiar with. These features could help enhance your viewing experience, or even offer you the chance to play a game instead of watch something....

The teaser video features the animatronic doll seen during the “Red Light, Green Light” game in the show’s first episode. The video is accompanied by text that confirms “Squid Game is officially coming back for Season 2!” Unfortunately, there is no actual footage included in the teaser, but a “message for the fans” from Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the writer, director, producer, creator of Squid Game, has given us our first details....

Norton has the most extensive identity protection services as add-on menu items with three different tiers of protection and insurance. On the other hand, the anti-theft features have been stripped from the app and those who want access to a VPN will be disappointed because the company’s Secure VPN is not available with the Android app by itself. The only way to get it is through the Norton 360: Deluxe, Premium or Ultimate packages....

The result ends up a mid-range device with a very familiar yet eye-catching design. The Phone (1)’s claim to fame are its glyphs, white LED strips that create a sort of branching C pattern. More than just flair, they add both personality and utility to the Phone (1). As unique as the glyphs are, however, the Phone (1) otherwise looks almost exactly like a slightly larger iPhone 12. From the frame to the buttons and camera module, the inspiration for this phone is never a mystery....

The Obi-Wan Kenobi story being more about Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Leia also felt like a huge bait-and-switch from the original hype. We were sold a Disney Plus Star Wars show about the rematch between Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, with the latter played by a returning Hayden Christensen. But up until episode 5, we didn’t actually see the actor’s face beyond a glimpse in a bacta tank. Even then we only saw Christensen in flashbacks, and it all felt too little too late....

From camera editor software to VPN services, these apps managed to evade detection and feature in allegedly secure official app stores. Both Apple and Google reacted to these findings, taking them down from Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store respectively. However, all this makes it clear how cybercriminals have refined their craft, developing malware applications that more and more closely resemble legit software. Even if you are securing your data with tools like the best VPN services, anybody can be tricked into downloading a fake tool and exposing their personal information....

The period-tracking apps Flo and Clue are trying to reassure their combined 55 million users that personal data logged into both apps is safe following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the long-standing Roe v. Wade ruling that guaranteed the legal right to an abortion. The very real concern is that in states which choose to ban abortion outright — six have already automatically come into force, with 16 more expected before the end of 2022 (opens in new tab) — women’s private mobile phone data will be used against them in states look to prosecute anyone who’s had an abortion or even a miscarriage....

Read on and we’ll show you how to watch the match live from anywhere with a VPN (opens in new tab), potentially for FREE. The men’s singles at Roland-Garros is starting to get rather interesting, and the Rafael Nadal vs Felix Auger Aliassime looks like being the pick of the day’s ties. Nadal — who, let’s not forget, has won 13 French Open titles — is only seeded fifth at this year’s tournament after injuring led to him missing the early part of the season....

Such a comparison shows off several key upgrades in the latest versions. Both the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus offer impressive displays, a big boost in speed thanks to the Snapdragon 888 processor, significant camera improvements, and 5G support as standard instead of requiring a separate, more expensive model. Best Samsung phones: Which Galaxy model is best for you?Galaxy S21 Ultra vs. Galaxy S20 Ultra: What changes has Samsung made?...

Apple jumped out of the gate with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which has quickly become one of the best phones overall. The iPhone’s new cameras, Dynamic Island display and super-powered but efficient chipset make it one of the top phones we’ve ever tried. We won’t know what the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, or the Samsung Galaxy S23 series in general will bring for a while, as we’re still some months away from their expected launch....

The image, shared in a post on 91mobiles (opens in new tab), shows the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 in profile next to a text simply reading “Next Galaxy”. Here it is: At a glance, that looks near-identical to the lavender-colored Galaxy Z Flip 3. But this new version (which Blass says is shown in “Bora Purple”) actually has a few interesting differences when shown side by side with the current model....

Looking at the Blass/91Mobiles renders, not much seems to have changed with the Galaxy Z Fold 4. We weren’t expecting any big design changes though, so this isn’t a big surprise. There are apparently new wallpaper designs according to the renders, to differentiate the Galaxy Z Fold 4 from the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and to match better with the new colors. Speaking of those colors, this leak backs up the previously rumoured trio of options for the Z Fold 4....

You can already save $100 on the Galaxy A53 with an eligible trade-in at Samsung, reducing your cost to $349. But this weekend, buying the Galaxy A53 also gets you a pair of Galaxy Buds Live or Galaxy Buds 2 (opens in new tab) to go with your new phone. That’s a $150 value, Samsung says. The Galaxy A53 is currently the best cheap phone you can get for less than $500, so any deal that lets you save even more is worth taking....
