Fostering trust in the age of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The reality for many organizations is that their employees are already being deceived. So, probably are their customers, their investors, and their board. For years, the warnings have focused on the impact of deepfakes, such as fake CEOs on video calls, cloned voices authorizing payments, and fraudulent emails. The tactics themselves are not new, but over the past few years, AI has made them cheaper to produce, harder to spot, and far more convincing within the ordinary flow of business. It’s this trend that means that the principle of Zero Trust is becoming as relevant to how information is treated as it has been to access. In cybersecurity , Zero Trust starts from a simple assumption: no user, device, application or request should be trusted by default. In the age of AI-generated misinformation, businesses need to apply that same mindset to the information...

I’ve tested more than 60 Bluetooth speakers and this Marshall model may just be the most stylish of them all — but does it sound as good as it looks? Here’s my verdict

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Marshall Stockwell III review Seven years after its predecessor came to market, the Marshall Stockwell III is here — and wow, what a beauty. From the moment I unboxed the Stockwell III, I was struck by its quality. Its striking amp-inspired aesthetic, complimented by luxurious PU leather, golden detailing, and a red velvet-infused handle made it likeable from the off. But could its sound live up to its enticing looks? Well, I’ve spent hours upon hours listening to music and messing around with various features on Marshall’s new speaker, and I’ve got a fair few thoughts. So here’s whether it can compare with some of the best Bluetooth speakers around. Let’s start with sound quality, an area where the Stockwell III is aiming to make quite the leap from its predecessor. Under the hood, you’ll find one three-inch woofer with 65W class D amplification alongside t...

Here’s 6Kingdom Hearts 4 worlds I think we’ll see following Coco’s official D23 reveal — including the one Tetsuya Nomura has ‘always’ wanted to include

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Over the weekend, we were treated to Disney’s annual D23 showcase , and while many will be soaking up the major Marvel Cinematic Universe reveals (including the X-Men cast announcement), I was far more interested in the brand-new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer. Not only was the Late 2027 release date set in stone, but it revealed the arrival of Coco to the series and gave us plenty of juicy details about the wider story while still keeping plenty a secret — such as which other worlds we’ll be visiting. However, I’ve gone through every detail of the trailers we have so far, as well as comments made by series creator Tetsuya Nomura during a D23 Kingdom Hearts Deep Dive panel, to pick out six worlds I believe are shoo-ins for Kingdom Hearts 4 . Think I’m right or completely disagree? Vote in my poll at the bottom of the page, or comment below which world you most w...

Lanterns episode 1 makes an incredibly bold storytelling choice that I didn't see coming — and now I've got a wild theory about one of the new HBO Max show's dual timelines

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Lanterns has finally premiered on HBO Max — and, in a move reminiscent of Invincible 's first-ever episode on Prime Video, the new DC Universe (DCU) TV show wastes no time in delivering an almighty shock in its first chapter. Indeed, the sci-fi show's premiere, titled 'Pilot', ends with a moment that'll completely stun viewers and likely upset DC comic book fanatics. I'm about to dig into the biggest talking point from Lanterns ' debut episode, so consider this your one and only warning: full spoilers immediately follow after the poll below. Turn back now if you haven't seen 'Pilot' yet, or else. Is Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan really dead in Lanterns? Green Lantern fans and DC purists are going to have a lot to say about this....

A half-price Galaxy Watch 8 headlines Samsung's August Secret Sale, and there's tempting reductions on phones and TVs too

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Samsung has had a busy few weeks with the launch of its 2026 foldable and wearable ranges , with pre-orders just wrapping up last week. If you missed out on the pre-order deals or you have your eyes set on something else from the brand, then fret not — Samsung has just unveiled a slew of deals across its product portfolio. The latest Samsung Secret Sale event features lots of top-rated tech that we’ve reviewed here at TechRadar, with savings of up AU$1,200 or 50% with the code SECRETAUG — but it’s only running for 48 hours, with deals ending at 10am AEST on Wednesday, August 19. One standout deal is the excellent Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 with a 50% discount, bringing it down to just AU$374.50 for the 40mm LTE model. Given that the new Watch 9 has relatively modest upgrades for AU$699 (with a current deal), this offer is hard to pass up. Galaxy Watch 8 (40m...

From styling your hair to drying your socks — 5 ways to use your portable fan in between heatwaves

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support A handheld electric fan makes a huge difference during summer heatwaves, but there's no need to stash it away in a drawer when the weather cools down. Whether you need an ad-hoc hair styler or a quick way to cool your kids' dinner without blowing on it, your mini fan can be your best friend. Great fans don't have to be expensive, either. I recently tested five portable fans from across the price spectrum , and the most expensive model was outranked by a humble model costing a fifth of the price. 1. Drying your hair When reviewing the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool Fan , I noted that "even on the lowest setting, you can really feel it; dial it up to maximum and it’s as powerful as some hairdryers I’ve used" — and it seems some fan-owners follow that thought to its natural conclusion, using their portable coolers to help dry and style their locks...
