As game files grow larger and physical cartridges evolve into digital placeholders, the Nintendo Switch 2 is changing how we think about game storage. Nintendo has embraced the SD Express 7.1 standard for expandable memory, and one standout option in this space comes from ADATA. The company’s Premier Extreme microSDXC Express 7.1 card delivers high-end performance in a very small package.

I’ve been using the Switch 2 since launch and I absolutely love it. Nintendo really nailed the upgrade. From the improved visuals to the faster load times, it’s just a better experience all around. And yes, Mario Kart World is easily one of my favorite games right now. It’s the kind of game you just keep coming back to.

Cybersecurity teams are often overwhelmed by an endless backlog of vulnerabilities, but not all of them are high risk. Traditional exposure management emphasizes identifying and prioritizing risks, but without validation, teams often spend time remediating issues that don't even put critical assets at risk.

Dr. Süleyman Özarslan, co-founder of Picus Security and VP of Picus Labs, believes that exposure validation represents the missing piece in risk management. We talked to him about how organizations can move past theoretical risk assessments to create a more resilient approach to cybersecurity.

In design terms, Windows 11 is pretty chaotic. There are various visual styles within the operating system, as it seems Microsoft was unable to adopt a uniform approach. But there are also areas of the OS that are just a bit messy.

The Settings app is a good example of this, with related settings and options being scattered hither and thither. Now Microsoft is tidying up some of these, starting off with search-related settings.

Linux Mint 22.2 is shaping up to be a pretty exciting release, especially for those who use fingerprint readers. You see, the developers are adding a brand-new app called Fingwit, and while the name is quirky, the tool itself is actually very practical.

Fingwit is all about fingerprint authentication. Once it detects a fingerprint reader on your system, it lets you record your prints and use them to log in, unlock the screen, run sudo commands, and authenticate with admin apps like pkexec. It’s meant to make your life a bit easier without getting in the way.

Google continues to innovate in the field of artificial intelligence, and this is evident in its Gemini app. The most recent update sees the company rolling out support for scheduled action in the app, making the AI-powered assistant even more useful when thinking about the future.

Gemini’s support for scheduled actions goes far beyond what could be achieved with Google Assistant. Google proclaims that it will “proactively handle your tasks”, but it’s not something that comes for free.

With the release of an update to Windows, there are generally a few things that people hope for – problems to be fixed, feature to be added, and performance to be improved. But with Windows 11 25H2, Microsoft is introducing a feature that actually reduces performance.

Strangely enough, this could be a good thing, particularly for laptop users. The reason is that this performance reduction comes as a result of a new feature called User Interaction-Aware CPU Power Management – which may or may not be AI-driven.

Attack surface management is a critical component of cybersecurity. Companies must identify, assess, and secure all possible points of entry to keep hackers out because any point left unsecured becomes a vulnerable attack surface.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies were forced to extend their cybersecurity efforts to address a much broader attack surface. The reason for these new cybersecurity demands was a sudden increase in remote work.

Many startups assume securing a domain and launching a website are enough to establish a digital presence. This is a perilous misconception. A single negative online experience can have severe consequences; in fact 88 percent of visitors are less likely to return after just one bad interaction.

This initial oversight often stems from a lack of awareness regarding the multifaceted nature of effective digital engagement. Common pitfalls, such as poor SEO strategies, weak content execution, scalability issues and technical errors can stall growth or even cause a startup to fail.

The needs of development and security teams often seem to be in conflict. Developers want speed of delivery while security wants stability and safety.

These competing interests can be made worse by the security tools that developers are expected to use. We spoke to Mackenzie Jackson, developer advocate at Aikido Security, to discuss why security tools are failing developers and what can be done about it.

A new report from Object First shows that, based on data from freedom of information requests, only 47 percent of UK public sector organizations back up critical systems daily.

This is despite more than 28,000 data breaches reported across National Health Service (NHS) trusts, local councils, and educational institutions over the past three years, exposing personal, health, and financial data.

This appropriation of copyright material is controversial since the original creator doesn't benefit.

The end is nigh! By which we mean the end of support for Windows 10 is nearing. Microsoft has reminded us of this time and time and time again as it tries to encourage users to make the move to Windows 11, but now things are taking a slightly darker turn.

It is common knowledge that the end of Windows 10 support means that there will be no more security updates. Microsoft is now using this fact in a slightly more sinister way, telling users they should upgrade to Windows 11 (or buy a new PC) in order to “stay on the right side of risk”.

Microsoft has unveiled major updates to the Microsoft Store app as the company continues to try to convey an image of being one that listens to feedback. While new additions, such as a personalized home page and faster performance, are likely to be welcomed, other changes are catalysts for ambivalence.

While announcing the update to the Store app, Microsoft says that “we use the feedback you send to ensure we’re focusing on the most important things our customers care about”. It is hard to imagine that there was a lot of feedback from Windows 11 users that begged “oh, please given us more Copilot AI”... and yet this is one of the additions proudly unveiled.
