USB-C was supposed to be the one. One cable, one port, any device. Just plug it in and it should work. The reality has turned out to be a little different than promised. Of course, for laptop users, you’d have to tear the USB-C ports from their cold dead fingers. While USB-C has its problems, no one can argue with how much of a benefit it has been to mobile devices. Thinner, stronger, with more space for hardware that really matters instead of a full-sized HDMI port you might use once in a blue moon. For desktop users, the USB-C…
Two US nationals were jailed this week for their roles in North Korean IT worker schemes that caused millions in damages to US companies. The individuals, Kejia Wang, 42, of Edison, New Jersey, and Zhenxing Wang, 39, of New Brunswick, New Jersey, were charged in June 2025, when the US stormed 29 laptop farms across 16 states.

The scheme generated over $5 million in illegal…
I have been using VLC for so long that I forgot it was even a choice. A few weeks ago, though, I was watching a film late at night and, for whatever reason, I looked at the screen a bit more critically, and all I could see were buttons everywhere. Playback controls, equalizer icons, and a menu bar stretching across the top. Even though you can customize the look and layout of VLC Media Player to hide parts of it, none of it helped me watch the movie; it was just there, demanding attention. That small, slightly irrational irritation sent…

Google can render JavaScript. That’s no longer up for debate. But that doesn’t mean it always does — or that it does so instantly or perfectly. Since Google’s 2024 comments suggesting it renders all HTML pages, many developers have questioned whether no-JavaScript fallbacks are still necessary. Two years later, the answer is clearer and more nuanced. Google’s stance on JavaScript rendering In July 2024, Google sparked debate during an episode of Search Off the Record titled “Rendering JavaScript for Google Search.” When asked how Google decides which pages to render, Martin Splitt said: “If it’s so expensive, how do we…
