    Do you use a password manager?

    https://thehackernews.com/2025/08/dom-based-extension-clickjacking.html This is pretty serious. While some companies have fixed the issue, others have yet to update their software. Again, pay attention to the URL after clicking a link that takes you to a website. The website could be a dead...

    GMail's multi-factor authentication bypassed in targeted attacks

    Gmail's multi-factor authentication bypassed by hackers to pull off targeted attacks This isn't too worrisome as long as you aren't fooled into creating specialized passwords for targeted applications. Once that happens, however, you're pretty much screwed as you'll most likely lose access to...

    Low cost Android devices being used for criminal enterprises

    The Computer Security forum was deactivated some time ago during one of the site updates and I didn't see a need to bring it back until now. There's a new threat floating around out there and as a lot of our members look for the best (read, cheapest) deals on the Internet, this could apply to...

    Chick-fil-A just lost a customer

    So, my phone is just about as secure as my computers at home. For Internet access, it has an ad blocker, malware protection and it runs 24/7 on a VPN. Imagine my surprise when I fired up the Chick-fil-A app and it flat refused to work. Hmmmm, sez I. Let's do some troubleshooting and see what's...

    Wireless Android Auto users

    Anyone use an Android Auto dongle? While my vehicle does play music and take calls wirelessly, it doesn't allow me to use any of my apps on the phone (like Waze) without connecting the phone via USB. I've been reading up on wireless dongles that allow your phone to use Android Auto via...

    https://cybernews.com/security/billions-passwords-credentials-leaked-mother-of-all-breaches/ While this hasn't made very many headlines as yet, this is something that everyone who uses the Internet should be aware of and take measures to mitigate any issues arising from the publication of this...

    FDA Crackdown on "Illegal" flavors

    https://gizmodo.com/elf-bar-vape-fda-tells-stores-to-stop-selling-1850566845 This is getting old, and it's something that the government has been pulling for ages now. They sensationalize headlines by saying these are the favorite flavors for teens, and people automatically assume "kids"...

    Durable case for 21700 batteries

    I recently purchased a new tactical flashlight which uses 21700 batteries. I need to find a good, durable case. I would love to find something that attaches to a duty belt setup, but after a week of searching, I don't think that's going to be possible. I did receive a case with the flashlight...

    Upgrading the security at home

    Welp, it's time to drag the house into the 22nd century and upgrade/replace the existing security system. The house was built a little over 10 years ago and has the standard motion detection sensors (not used because of the critters), and window/door sensors. I've been doing quite a bit of...

    Powerline Ethernet adapters

    Anyone here use 'em? Just updated the service to gigabit. Streaming movies gets jittery and I suspect it's the wireless gumming up the works to the TVs and Firestick. Router can handle the speed, but I suspect the end devices cannot via wireless. Sure, I could do it the old fashioned way and...

    Tablets and e-readers

    It is time to replace my ancient tablet. It's a 7" Kobo Vox that I've had for over 6 years and still runs Gingerbread. It's showing definite signs of wanting to die, and so I need to get a replacement before it gives up the ghost. Generally, I use my tablet as an e-reader with an occasional...

    Interchangeable Melo coils?

    With the plethora of Melo tanks out there, are all the coils interchangeable with the various tanks? I'm more interested to find out if the .5 EC coil (SS) will work in the Melo RT 22.

    Suggestions for new setup welcome

    OK, while I'm aware of all the latest and greatest goodies hitting the market, the majority do absolutely nothing for me, or my vaping style. However, I haven't really kept up with tanks. First, I vape to replace smoking. I don't view it as a hobby and I've gotten tired of the hobby aspect as...

    Military ranks

    :D Military Rank: GENERAL Leaps tall buildings with a single bound. Is more powerful than a locomotive. Is faster than a speeding bullet. Walks on water. Gives policy to God. COLONEL Leaps short buildings with ease. Is more powerful than a switch engine. Is just as fast as a speeding bullet...

    Cue Vapor

    Just got an email from electrictobacconist.com and they have the Cue marked down to around 20 bucks for the kit. Think I'll snag one later this week to see how it goes.
