The most prolific ransomware strains this year were Troldesh / Crysis and GlobeImposter....

The company clearly isn’t happy sharing the spotlight though, and the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are its attempt to settle things once and for all – well, until the next pair of Sonys come out, that is. I’ve been using the Headphones 700 for the last few weeks, and while I’m not quite convinced that Bose is the knock-out winner, these certainly make the Sonys fight until the final bell....

Bullguard IS 2014 includes all the core security software modules, with anti-virus, firewall, spam filter, safe browsing and parental control, but adds in a vulnerability scanner, tune-up and online back-up, which are unusual in a suite that’s not the top product in its range – Bullguard’s top-end product is Premium Protection. The interface has had a revamp; a clean look largely for the better, but with one oddity. Each of the main modules in the suite is assigned a small control panel within the home screen, but that screen isn’t quite wide enough to show all nine at once....

Passengers felt the frustration in March 2017, when the UK government banned laptops, large phones, e-readers, and tablets from flight cabins. This measure applied to all inbound flights to UK from Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Tunisia, forcing passengers to check-in any devices that exceeded dimensions of 16cm in length, 9.3cm in width and 1....

Epson has been one of the few manufacturers to challenge that status quo in recent years, with its EcoTank range of printers. The up-front cost of the EcoTank printers is quite high when compared to conventional inkjet printers – and they might seem too expensive for home users who only need to use their printer every now and then – but the EcoTank printers do away with ink cartridges altogether and replace them with large ink tanks that are built into the body of the printer....

The latest Intel processors in 2014 are still codenamed Haswell, and mainstream CPUs for desktop PCs such as the Core i5-4690 and Core i7-4790 received a welcome – if somewhat unexciting – 100-200MHz speed increase this year. However, updated versions of the unlocked K-suffix chips were nowhere to be seen. Those chips have now arrived, with the new codename of Devil’s Canyon used to separate them from the regulation fixed-speed versions....

Here’s our preview of Dark Souls Remastered, a taste of what’s to come. Dark Souls Remastered release date and pre-orders Has anything changed in Dark Souls Remastered?

It has an ultra-stiff keyboard like a good laptop, but also a detachable tablet part with a high-resolution display and a narrow surround. While it has a shot of desirability most business laptops lack, limited battery life and connectivity narrow the appeal of the Dell Latitude 7285 a little. Price and availability Dell makes five key variants of the Dell Latitude 7285. All use Intel’s ultra-low power Y-series processors, but the CPU power, RAM and storage varies....
