Do not fly a drone drunk in New Jersey, or you will be put in jail
Drone-related accidents are starting to become a real issue in Western countries. Even a good drone – that is, fast and with long-living battery – is something that a regular Kovalsky can afford with relative ease. Therefore it is no wonder that a high number of less than responsible people got their hands on fliers, and even less of a wonder that some of these people caused a number of accidents – like that journalist that caused a head injury to a woman after crashing his drone into a building. Some of these people like to have a drink or six when they go flying.In an ...

Skygofree Trojan, or why should Android owners be scared (again)
Ah, old love. It never fades and it always comes back. Just like this Trojan. Skygofree’s an old piece of malware, hailing back from the go… well, old days of 2014. Lately it made a return, seemingly going back to its old tricks; it can read all the traffic on your phone and even record your calls via a microphone. This Trojan is particulary difficult to remove, as upon installing itself on a phone it automatically grants itself access to everything on the device. Even hard reset may not be enough to get rid of it. Your best bet is to simply avoid any suspicious content (no, you ...
Moto Folio, protective case by Motorola
Motorola has just released its newest Moto Mod. Moto Follo is interesting mainly due to two factors. First, it is the cheapest Moto Mod to date, costing only $11.24. Second, it is not really a Moto Mod.So what it is, then? Well, a protective case. It covers the back and front of the phone and has a bonus of an inner pocket that can store a credit card. The only reason it is called a mod is that it is attached to a phone via magnetic connectors, just like other Moto Mods. Putting that detail aside, Follo is a nifty and inexpensive little thing. It comes in three colour variants – Fine ...

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Olympic Games Limited Edition and how you will not get one
Two years ago, Samsung released an Olympic Games Limited Edition of Samsung Galaxy Note 7, a special edition (duh) of the phone that was distributed to every Olympian competitor (except North Korea, because f*ck imperialistic capitalism, Great Kim Jong can bring us some sun rocks from his walking trip to sun).
