5G’s millimeter-wave technology can deliver incredibly fast wireless speeds, but it has an annoying weakness: those signals don’t like getting around things. Walls, furniture, people, and even moving a few feet can cause mmWave connections to weaken dramatically. Now, researchers at the University of California San Diego are proposing a surprisingly boring solution: cheap reflective tiles that simply bounce the signal where it needs to go. The problem with really fast 5G mmWave sits at the higher-frequency end of wireless communications and offers much more bandwidth than conventional cellular frequencies. That’s what makes it attractive for extremely high-speed connections, but…

While these participating businesses invest heavily in securing a stand or speaking slot, it is only one part of the equation. Without a clear communications strategy and preparation days ahead of LEAP, even the most innovative companies can struggle to stand out. Sherpa Communications advises on PR…
I’ve been using a Mac for a long time, and over the years, I’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out what’s going wrong when something feels off. Most of the time, I start in the Settings app. I poke around, change a few things, and usually find whatever is causing the problem. Storage is a good example. I recently noticed my Mac slowing down, opened the Storage section, and immediately got a clear breakdown of what was taking up space. One cleanup later, I had freed up some much-needed storage, and everything felt normal again. I’ve done something similar when…

I’ve been waiting for magnetic charging to stop being mostly an iPhone and Pixel party, and now, Motorola might be looking to join the club. Leaker Evan Blass has shared images of an unreleased Moto Snap magnetic wireless charger. The accessory is a slim circular charging puck with Motorola’s batwing logo, a braided cable, and a USB-C connector, giving it a very familiar MagSafe/Pixelsnap-style design. Motorola hasn’t announced the charger yet, and details such as pricing, charging output, and release date remain unknown. But it arrives just after the launch of the Motorola Edge 70 Max, which supports magnetic charging.…

That photo you uploaded to identify someone may have ended up somewhere you never expected. Security researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered an unsecured database linked to ClarityCheck, a people-search service that says its reverse image search is “private and secure,” containing more than 9 million files, including photos of people’s faces. ClarityCheck has built its service around helping people verify strangers and decide who they can trust online, which makes a security lapse involving its own users’ uploads particularly uncomfortable. According to Fowler’s research published by ExpressVPN, the database held roughly 450GB of data and did not require a password to…

Streaming has always been a two-horse race between YouTube and Netflix, and for the most part, they stayed out of each other’s lane. While YouTube built its business around creators and ad revenue, Netflix focused on paying for professionally produced content. That truce appears to be over. Netflix has spent the past year going after YouTube’s biggest stars with big checks, and now YouTube is fighting back in kind, with even bigger checks of its own. What is YouTube offering creators? According to a Bloomberg report, YouTube is dangling millions of dollars in front of popular creators if they agree…
