What Can You Watch Using a TV Antenna?

Today, the average American home pays $103 per month for cable TV.

How To Install Multiple Bootable Operating Systems on One USB Stick

Do you want to run multiple operating systems from a single USB stick, or other flash RAM? Perhaps boot into a live environment, or even install the operating system? It’s tricky, but it can be done. First, you would be breaking some licensing agreements with Microsoft, unless you had some sort of site-licensing deal with them. Second, it would be a painfully slow installation process. Where it becomes practical is if the different operating systems are Live CDs. That is, small operating systems designed specifically to provide maintenance to a computer from outside of the computer’s own operating system. Linux...

Are You Ghosting Your Online Friends? Do This Instead!

Snapchat is turning its gaze to a social phenomenon called “ghosting.” The app used to be solely about sending photos to friends and family — images that would only last a few seconds but which effectively got a message across. Now, however, it’s experimenting with format, and what it can achieve, given its impact on the next generation. Snapchat is making TV shows. No, really. In fact, it aims to have three shows airing per day. Its first commission is Ghost Hunt, an unscripted comedy about the aforementioned ghosting. But what is it? Have you fallen victim to it? And...

With the rise of cloud services, more of us are now encountering Linux at work. People know it’s great for developers and does a good job of keeping the internet up and running — but why would anyone want to use Linux at home?

Windows SMB Users at Risk: Block These Ports to Protect Yourself

Cast your mind back to May 2017. FBI Director James Comey was fired, terrorists struck an Arianna Grande concert in Manchester, and the world fell victim to the WannaCry ransomware attack. WannaCry infected more than 230,000 computers across 150 countries.

In short, it was one of the worst cyber attacks the world had ever seen. Now, three months later, you might think the flaws that allowed the attack to spread have been fixed. You’d be wrong —...
