Both system administrators and everyday users have long wished for a less bloated Windows experience. The fact that Microsoft itself wants to provide such a tool shows positive progress on their part, even if it can't remove all apps.
Security researcher Ian Carroll gained access by logging into an Olivia administrator account using ‘123456' as both the username and password. This gave Carroll access to sensitive information, including the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of job applicants, among other data.
Reporting the leak to Paradox.ai was challenging, as the company lacked a dedicated security team. After sending numerous emails to various employees, Carroll finally managed to get the affected account disabled, according to Techspot.
The incident raises serious concerns about the security of AI-driven recruitment tools and the protection of applicant data.
Samsung's fastest SSDs are already on sale, so with that covered, you should invest in a good CPU. Well, many of AMD's best models are on sale right now-it just comes down to what you're looking for specifically. Do you want to game on your computer, create content, or just use the device for work? Do you want a newer model or do you want something more affordable?
Well, Prime Day has something for everyone. Here are some of the best AMD Ryzen discounts we've dug up:
So if you haven't been following along, the Legion Go S is the first non-Valve device that officially supports SteamOS. But it's not this Legion Go S — the white version comes with Windows 11 installed. It's also more expensive at $760, which is quite a bit more than originally planned when Trump tariffs took effect. The black version of the handheld is the SteamOS version, and while it was initially planned to cost $500, it now goes for $600.
But here's the fun part. You can just install the free SteamOS on your white Legion Go S, directly from Valve, and turn it into that objectively better version, while also saving some money with this deal. Heck, you technically get a "free" copy of Windows 11 in there, making it even sweeter. This is the base model of the Legion Go S, with a somewhat pokey Ryzen Z2 Go processor and "just" 16
Starting on July 15th, and with less than a week of notice, YouTube will be taking a closer look at members of the YouTube Partner Program. This is the monetization side of YouTube videos that makes a career as an independent (or even corporate) YouTube video producer functional. Beginning next week, YouTubers who want to keep their advertising dollars will have to avoid "mass-produced and repetitious content," as well as "inauthentic" videos.
Technically these guidelines or effectively identical policies have been in place long before the current crop of AI-created video and audio tools became widely available. That channel that simply re-uploads movie trailers or collects nothing but Parks & Recreation clips isn't meeting the threshold of actual creation, so most of those videos were probably demonitized and/or their advertising dollars were sent to the original intellectual property owners. But it seems like Google is adding a bit of language to the policy to make it easier for the company to cast a wide net on the new crop of AI slop.
The 1TB Samsung 9100 PRO SSD is down to $142.49 right now, which is 29 percent off-the best price we've ever seen for it. If you want more storage space, the 2TB version is the lucky model that got the 37 percent discount, meaning you can snag it for $190 instead of $300. And if you need even more space, the 4TB option is just $385 (30 percent off from $550).
We recently reviewed the Samsung 9100 Pro SSDs and found that these new models have put Samsung back at the top of the leaderboard.
We gave the SSD a 4.5-star rating and our Editors' Choice award and rightfully so, because this was the fastest NVMe SSD we've ever tested in our benchmarks. It's basically a speed demon, hitting up to 14,800MB/s, which means you'll be moving files in a blink, running AI apps, loading games, and doing pretty much anything else you throw at it.
So stop wasting time and snag one of these super-fast Samsung 9100 PRO SSDs and save big this Prime Day. Also, check out the best tech Prime Day deals we've dug up.
The Ring Alarm 5-piece kit is a good place to start, and it might be all you need if you have a small home, condo, or apartment. It includes the central hub with battery backup, a keypad, a single door/window sensor, an indoor motion detector, and one range extender. Amazon has cut the price of this system in half, bringing its price down to $100.
