As 2025 draws to a close, Tony looks back at the cybersecurity stories that stood out both in December and across the whole of this year 29 Dec 2025 As we close out 2025, it’s time for ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe to review some of the main cybersecurity stories from both the final month of the year and 2025 as a whole. Among the stories that caught Tony’s eye are: U.S.-based organizations paid more than $2.1 billion in ransom payments to ransomware gangs from 2022 to 2024, according to the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

You’re drinking your eight glasses daily, and your skin still feels tight, looks dull, and shows fine dehydration lines. Turns out drinking water doesn’t directly hydrate your skin the way skincare marketing constantly suggests it does. Your skin needs topical hydration and barrier repair that water consumption alone simply can’t provide. 1. Why Water Alone Doesn’t Actually Help Your Skin The water someone drinks heads straight to kidneys, heart, brain, and other organs, keeping the body functional. Skin gets whatever’s left after the heart, kidneys, and brain take their share. Usually, that’s not much. And if the skin barrier is…

Jul 14, 2023 Next month marks the 10 year anniversary of BarCodeKit. It’s been like two years of slumber since the last release. It was available via Cocoapods and direct via GitHub, but lately several developers voiced interest for it to be available as Swift Package. Like most of my open source frameworks on GitHub, BarCodeKit is written in Objective-C, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be available as Swift Package. Xcode automagically morphs everything to look Swift-native and so an implementer of such a package wouldn’t be the wiser. To make it a Swift package I needed to clean…

The USB Power Delivery (PD) specification has turned USB ports into a fast-charging powerhouse capable of delivering up to 240W of power. This capability is rapidly turning USB PD into a universal charging standard for everything from smartphones to high-performance laptops. This sounds perfect on paper, but in reality, USB PD power supplies aren’t always everything they’re cracked up to be.One of the nice features of the standard is that the charger and device transparently communicate with one another to determine the best voltage to operate at. We just plug the device in and everything magically works—usually. However, some power…

Robert Triggs / Android AuthorityModern smartphone cameras are impressive beasts, as many camera phones combine cutting-edge hardware with advanced image processing capabilities. Some of the more notable innovations in recent years include periscope cameras, 200MP sensors, and all-pixel autofocus.However, one of my favorite hardware features arrived in 2022: one-inch camera sensors. Unfortunately, adoption of this tech has seemingly stalled in the last year or so, and it doesn’t look like we’ll see much of it in 2026. What went wrong? Do you prefer larger camera sensors or more megapixels?276 votesA larger sensor, please94%More megapixels for me6%One-inch cameras were the future…

Bones and teeth are typical biological minerals in human body, and damage to these hard tissues directly affects our daily life [1], [2].

Humility, a designer’s essential value—that has a nice ring to it. What about humility, an office manager’s essential value? Or a dentist’s? Or a librarian’s? They all sound great. When humility is our guiding light, the path is always open for fulfillment, evolution, connection, and engagement. In this chapter, we’re going to talk about why. Article Continues Below That said, this is a book for designers, and to that end, I’d like to start with a story—well, a journey, really. It’s a personal one, and I’m going to make myself a bit vulnerable along the way. I call it: The…
