    I tried SuperDuper! long ago (yeah, the application’s name has an exclamation mark), but shifted to Carbon Copy Cloner as a paid user since the latter was advancing and keeping up …

    I clearly remember many years ago that this wasn’t the case with Gmail, when looking for the source IP address in a case involving harassment of a person. I could only get Gmail’s …

    Not for me. I don’t even remember when (or since how many years ago) I turned off Protect My Email and turned on both Hide IP Address and Block All Remote Content. I still have the…

    I feel glad that I never went paid (though I do pay for software and services). Bitwarden always seemed laggy: both the development pace and the iOS app (though the latter improved…

    The BitLocker exploit seems simple and very dangerous. Companies and individuals have been relying on BitLocker to protect information if the device is lost. Despite promises, Micr…

    I’m subscribed to Infuse Pro for several years now, and I agree it’s one of the top purchases I’ve made (and keep paying for). The lists, drive shares and libraries on Infuse are m…
