While not expensive by portable SSD standards, the Crucial X8 was undercut by some competitor products that used cheaper SATA-based technology. These weren’t as fast, but for many in the market for a portable SSD, they were quick enough. Crucial responded in early 2021 with the X6, a portable SSD that didn’t have the headline 1,000MB/s performance of the X8 but was a good bit cheaper. And, now a year on, I’m reviewing the X6 because the path of this story has subtly changed....

The name might not exactly roll off the tongue, at least not without a compulsive urge to follow it up with entendre, but the Dooble browser is one worth remembering. It doesn’t boast the flashiest interface, or indeed the fastest performance, but if security and privacy are things you take seriously then this indie browser will be of great interest. The signs of how important these features are to Dooble are evident from the first time you launch the program....

Tom Kabinet, which launched just last week, offers a platform to “legally” sell used ebooks. “We have the same goal as publishers: reducing the illegal downloads of ebooks,” said Marc Jellema, one of Tom Kabinet’s co-founders to Computerworld Netherlands.
