A major AT&T data breach settlement offers up to $5K for eligible users, while scams and deceptive tactics like tricky subscription cancellations highlight growing digital threats. Stay vigilant to protect your data and finances.
Someone built a quirky little tool called "HDD Clicker" that mimics the nostalgic sound of a hard drive clicking—but it syncs the noise to your actual HDD activity light. It’s a playful nod to the era when you could audibly hear your computer working, unlike today’s silent SSDs. The project sparked a mix of amusement and nostalgia in tech circles.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t groundbreaking tech, but it’s a fun, nostalgic hack that resonates with anyone who remembers the soundscape of older computers. It’s a lighthearted reminder of how much hardware has changed—and how even the quirks we once found annoying can become oddly charming in hindsight.
The buzzy survival drama Yellowjackets is officially coming back for a fourth season on Paramount+, and fans are hungry for details. While specifics are still under wraps, this roundup covers the latest murmurs—from when it might drop to which cast members could return (or meet grim fates). Expect wild theories, timeline twists, and maybe even more cannibalism metaphors.
Editor’s Note: If you’re one of the millions hooked on Yellowjackets’ blend of horror, mystery, and teen drama, this update is your fix while we wait. The show’s renewal signals Paramount+ doubling down on its breakout hit—and with so many loose ends (What’s up with the wilderness? Who’s still lying?), season 4 can’t come soon enough.
If you were affected by AT&T's data breaches in the past, you might be in line for a payout—up to $5,000 in some cases. The telecom giant is settling claims over two major leaks, and while most people will likely get smaller amounts (think $25–$150), those who can prove bigger losses could score significantly more. Claims open soon, so keep an eye out if you were a customer during the breaches.
Editor’s Note: Data breaches are annoyingly common these days, but this settlement is a rare chance for affected customers to get something back—even if it’s just symbolic. For AT&T, it’s another costly reminder that skimping on security has consequences. If you’re eligible, filing a claim is worth a few minutes of your time.
The Herk Pulsar is a pint-sized powerhouse—a mini PC that punches way above its weight in performance while saving serious desk space. Oh, and it comes in eye-catching colors, so it’s not just functional but fun too. Whether you're team Windows or Linux, this little machine seems to deliver.
Editor’s Note: Mini PCs often sacrifice power for size, but this one bucks the trend—making it a great option for anyone who wants a compact setup without compromising speed. Plus, the bold colors add a rare splash of personality to typically dull office gear. If you’re tight on space but need serious computing, this could be your fix.
Motorola's new Razr Ultra isn't just another pricey foldable—it's going head-to-head with Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 with clever design tweaks that push the boundaries of what these compact flip phones can do. Think of it as a high-stakes tech duel where Motorola's playing to win, not just match specs.
Editor’s Note: Foldables are still finding their footing in the mainstream, and Motorola's latest move proves the competition is heating up. For consumers, that means more innovation (and hopefully better prices down the line). If you've been waiting for a reason to ditch your slab phone, this rivalry might just tip the scales.

This piece isn’t just a list—it’s a nudge toward more ethical, community-driven tech choices. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a better way than relying on big-name apps, this is your starting point.
