Proton, the Swiss company famous for its privacy-focused tools, just launched Proton Authenticator—an open-source two-factor authentication (2FA) app designed to keep your accounts extra safe.

What makes Proton Authenticator even more unique is that it’s available on all your favorite platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Unlike Microsoft or Google, Proton offers a desktop app so you can use 2FA right from your computer. Plus, if you sign up for a free…

Dropbox is sunsetting its password management app, Dropbox Passwords, in a move that will affect users over a three-month transition. While the service originally launched in 2020 to help users manage their credentials securely, Dropbox has now decided to wind it down in phases. The first phase begins on August 28th, when Dropbox Passwords will become read-only across both the mobile app and the browser extension. Users will be able to view their saved login data, but will lose the ability to create new entries or use auto-fill features, which are essential for seamless sign-ins. Then, on September 11th, the…

Most gamers probably won’t notice much difference between refresh rates once they climb above 360Hz, but in the ultra-competitive world of PC esports, even the smallest gains matter. That’s the philosophy behind AOC’s new high-speed displays, which promise to deliver some of the fastest refresh rates ever seen on a consumer monitor. With refresh rates peaking at 610Hz, the new Agon Pro AG246FK6 and Agon CS24G2 are clearly aimed at elite players who refuse to settle for anything less than the absolute fastest performance. The AG246FK6 might not seem like much at a glance. It’s a 24-inch 1920×1080 monitor, with…

OLED gaming monitors are often praised for their stunning picture quality, offering deep contrast levels and brilliant color reproduction that put even high-end LCDs to shame. But if there’s one area OLED panels have traditionally lagged, it’s refresh rate. Most top out between 165Hz and 240Hz, which is more than fine for casual gaming but not quite up to par for ultra-competitive players. Enter the ASRock 27-inch 1440p OLED, now marked down to $549.99 on Newegg—a refreshingly affordable choice for those seeking elite gaming performance without sacrificing visual fidelity. This display uses the increasingly popular 27-inch 1440p format that strikes…

Micron Pushes Storage Boundaries with Blazing PCIe 6.0 SSDs—But Not for Consumers Yet Micron has made history by launching the world’s first SSD using the PCI Express 6.0 standard, and it’s every bit as fast as you might hope. The new Micron 9650 series delivers sequential reads at an astonishing 28,000 MB/s and writes at 14,000 MB/s—dramatically outpacing PCIe 5.0 SSDs, including the fastest consumer models like the Teamgroup Z540. Unfortunately, this isn’t a product for gamers or creative professionals at home. It’s designed strictly for enterprise data centers, particularly those handling AI workloads that demand massive throughput and durability.…

From Arizona to Pyongyang: How a Remote Job Opened the Door to a Global Cybercrime Operation A century ago, hidden operations in American homes were often fueled by jazz, gin, and secrecy. In 2024, secrecy of a different kind took center stage in an otherwise normal residence in Arizona, where federal investigators uncovered a clandestine data center powering one of the most sophisticated foreign cyber operations seen in recent years. At the heart of it was Christina Chapman, an American woman lured by a remote job offer that spiraled into her becoming a linchpin for hackers working directly under North…

The days of slim, elegant GPUs might not be entirely gone, thanks to Inno3D’s announcement of the RTX 5090 and 5080 iChill Frostbite Pro models. Unlike the massive three- and four-slot monsters common in modern gaming PCs, these cards take an opposite approach by offering premium performance in a much slimmer, liquid-cooled form factor—at the cost of complexity and price. According to details from VideoCardz, the iChill Frostbite Pro RTX 5090 measures just 223mm long, 134mm tall, and 20mm thick—far smaller than Nvidia’s own already-compact Founder’s Edition. The RTX 5080 variant is even tinier at just 187mm by 110mm, making…
