It’s little surprise that most hackers have a favorite text editor, since we tend to spend quite a bit of time staring at the thing. From writing code to reading …read more Continue reading ImHex: An Open Hex Editor for the Modern Hacker
Just like mobile phones of yesteryear, modern cars have profiles. They aren’t responsible for the sounds your car produces, however, as much as they change how your car behaves – …read more Continue reading Your Car Has Driving Profiles – Here’s How To Change Them

We’re not sure what to make of this one. With the variety of smartwatches and fitness trackers out there, we can’t be surprised by what sort of hardware ends up strapped to wrists these days.

Or, if it is mom’s computer, maybe you …read more
