There are serious problems with the rollout of 5G. It interferes with plane navigation and may lead to inaccurate weather forecasts. Major airports are grounding planes as a result of the former, and meteorologists are rightfully concerned about the latter. But the thing I don’t understand about 5G is… who is it for? LTE has…
So You’re About to Get Hacked
Recently, a friend of my wife had something on Facebook go viral and she became the target of some, shall we say, unpleasant people. Here was my advice to her on how to attempt to secure her digital life. This is by no means complete, since there’s much more to security than I can fit…
Target’s creepy personal tracking [Updated]
