Joe Maring / Android AuthorityTL;DR On February 3, 2026, T-Mobile stores will give away football-shaped food platters. Only corporate-owned stores are participating; third-party outlets won’t have the freebies. The platter features a T-Mobile logo and appears to have moderate capacity for snacks or party treats. T-Mobile Tuesdays is T-Mobile’s wildly popular loyalty program, and the occasional freebies pair very well with T-Mobile’s deals and plans. T-Mobile gave away a cozy magenta blanket in December, and for February, the company plans to give away a football-shaped food platter. Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?

For years, cybersecurity teams have worked to close gaps across email, endpoints, cloud infrastructure, and application layers. But as new threats like deepfake voices infiltrate customer service lines, IT help desk calls, and internal communication channels, a major blind spot remains: live audio. From Slack, Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, Discord and even traditional telephony, voice has quietly become one of the fastest-growing communication channels online, and it’s largely invisible to modern security stacks. That invisibility is turning voice into an emerging attack vector, one that many security teams aren’t equipped to monitor, detect, or control. An expanding, unmonitored surface From a risk…
We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. Adding outdoor security cameras to your home setup can get expensive fast, especially once you factor in subscriptions and extra hardware. This deal on a Eufy SoloCam E30 four-pack makes that math a little more palatable. It’s currently $299.99 on Amazon, down from its usual $549.99 price, which is the lowest price it’s ever been, according to price-tracking tools. That brings each camera to about $75, which still isn’t cheap, of course—but unlike many other camera brands, these don’t…
If shoppers can’t find what they want in your WooCommerce store within a few clicks, they’ll leave. And that’s exactly what happens to many small business owners. As their product catalogs grow, they lose potential customers because they can’t easily filter products. That’s why I decided to look for a solution. I needed a way to add advanced filters without hiring a developer to build them from scratch. So, I tested a range of WooCommerce filter plugins and ended up using WPFilters. It gave me the exact filters I needed without feeling heavy or complicated. For this roundup, I’ve narrowed…
Microsoft has fixed a known issue that was causing the password sign-in option to disappear from the lock screen options after installing Windows 11 updates released since August 2025. The password icon appears on the lock screen only if multiple sign-in options (e.g., PIN, password, security key, fingerprint) are available. However, if you use only a password, the icon may not appear because Windows 11 shows the password field by default. As Microsoft said when it acknowledged this bug in November, users with multiple sign-in options enabled may still not see the password icon if they installed the August 2025…
Many Google Ads accounts generate steady traffic but struggle to turn that traffic into outcomes the business actually values, such as purchases, qualified leads, or demo requests. That disconnect usually isn’t caused by a lack of demand or a broken platform. It’s more often the result of small, fixable issues across the account that quietly compound over time. Keyword targeting drifts. Ad copy loses alignment with landing pages. Bid strategies stop matching how users actually convert. None of these problems feel dramatic on their own, but together they can pull conversion rates down and make performance harder to scale. The…
Wiping a drive before selling it is very important. Not just because whoever’s going to use it next needs the space, but also because you don’t want them snooping through your files after you sold it. So here’s how to properly go about it. Why quick formatting is not enough Credit: Patrick Campanale / How-To Geek Many people, especially less tech-savvy folks, just hit “Quick format” to wipe the drive before putting it inside a shipping box. Don’t ever do this. The drive will appear empty and work like an empty drive, sure, but it is functionally equivalent to tearing the…
Meanwhile, some people are still unconvinced of the urgency. Somebody else’s problem Quantum computing has been ten to twenty years away for decades. Is today any different? I wouldn’t blame someone if they thought that way. And, according to ICASA’s recent survey of more than 2,600 security and privacy professionals, only 5% say that PQC is a high business priority for the near future. There’s a lot happening in the business world right now and by the time quantum computers arrive, someone else will be in charge and they can deal with it. Twenty years, ten years, even five years…
SecurityWeek’s Cyber Insights 2026 examines expert opinions on the expected evolution of more than a dozen areas of cybersecurity interest over the next 12 months. We spoke to hundreds of individual experts to gain their expert opinions. Here we explore malware and malicious attacks in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). The big takeaway from 2026 onward is the arrival and increasingly effective use of AI, and especially agentic AI, that will revolutionize the attack scenario. The only question is how quickly. Michael Freeman, head of threat intelligence at Armis, predicts, “By mid-2026, at least one major global enterprise will…
