Our pick of the best VPNs are NordVPN and ExpressVPN. So what’s a VPN tunnel? When you browse websites without a VPN, the data that’s sent from your router via your ISP to the website is visible to anyone that can hack into the connection.

In a confusing world of technology, Android holds an important place although it can be a bit tricky to get your head round why. Here’s the basics on Android. What is Android? Android is the name of the operating system used on many smartphones and tablets. It is owned and maintained by Google.

What is pagefile.sys? Windows uses pagefile.sys for storing the data that would otherwise be in the computer’s random access memory (RAM).

It also has another role: storing the information about the computer’s state in case there’s a crash or a power cut....

For all those networks secured with a password, they tend to a standard called WPA2. This has been around since 2004 and, although it’s by no means bad, the fact that it was hacked earlier this year meant a new version was due. Fortunately, that new standard was already in the works and WPA3 was sort-of announced at CES in January 2018. It’s only now that the first devices are being certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which is behind the new standard....

At its annual WWDC keynote Apple has announced the next version of watchOS – the software that underpins the Apple Watch – will include automatic handwashing detection and tracking to help you improve your health and hygiene habits. The software will use machine learning to detect motion that resembles handwashing, before activating the microphone to check for audio cues like running water or splashing. Once it’s confident you are washing your hands, it’ll start a countdown and measure your sink time to make absolutely sure you did make it to the end of that second ‘Happy Birthday’, pestering you if you don’t make it to the end....

Created by the General Services Administration (GSA), Networx has a 10-year ceiling of $68.2 billion in revenue.
