The ransomware is able to target both Linux and Windows systems. It bears a striking similarity to ransomware used in the 2021 attack on the Colonial Pipeline.

A better deal than the Titan 18 HX. The new Raider 18 drops many of the "unnecessary" features of the Titan 18 while keeping the same high-end CPU, GPU, and display options available. It therefore offers the same gaming and visual experience but for much cheaper prices to be an easier recommendation even for enthusiasts.

🎙️ OpinionOssby Geo: Broken frame after just a few days of using this lightweight, foldable e-bike made from recycled materials

CheckMag The European made Geo was originally supposed to weigh just 11 kilograms (24 pounds) in total, but came in at around 16 kg (35 pounds) when it was finally delivered to early Kickstarter backers in August of 2024. It's not just the award-winning folding design of this new e-bike from Spanish manufacturer Ossby that stands out amongst its peers of electric folding bikes but also the unusual features and the proposed sustainability of this lightweight city bike in 2024. Unfortunately, the promised aluminum-equivalent strength of the "composite frame" made from recycled materials disappoints - at least in my case.

Apple to update budget iPad ecosystem with cheaper Magic Keyboard with new features and budget-friendly materials

It seems like Apple is working on a Magic Keyboard accessory for its cheapest iPad and iPad Air models. The $299 Apple Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro was a major success, thanks to its full-size keyboard, haptic trackpad, and excellent build quality, but it's unclear what corners Apple will cut to bring the price down for its cheaper iPads.
