Apart from writing articles online, I also make videos that I upload to YouTube. Making videos involves recording the video first and then editing it before uploading it online. Since I am a one-person team, I have to carry out these tasks quickly and efficiently to ensure my videos go out on time, and I don't spend too much time working on a single video. While I can't really do much when recording the video, I've found that an optimized video editing workflow can certainly speed things up.

Passwords are almost ingrained in culture and are still used to secure accounts, connect to wireless networks, and more. But what if I told you, for World Password Day, that you should cease using them altogether? It sounds counterintuitive, right? Why would you stop using a password to secure your account? Well, that's where passkeys come into play! These handy little keys are essential to create a more robust account management strategy where you're less likely to encounter (and be affected by) breaches and compromised access.

Passwords for security purposes trace their way back to the Romans, who used watchwords to discern friend from foe. However, the digital password has been around longer than you might think, as it was created in 1961 by an MIT computer science professor, Fernando Corbato. It wasn't a security feature at the time, more a time-sharing one, but that was the seed that grew into the privacy-creating digital passwords for everything we use today.

While Microsoft Excel is capable of countless tasks, sometimes it feels like we are only scratching the surface of what is truly possible. What if you could streamline your processes, improve collaboration, and fly through projects without dealing with complex formulas or endless manual tasks? Over the years, I have discovered a handful of software tools that act like perfect partners for Excel, each bringing its unique strengths to the table.

When you're planning an SFF build, you're probably thinking about saving desk space, going for a unique look, or crafting a compact machine for your streaming server or home lab. While each of these is a noble pursuit, going SFF has many other benefits that not all people realize, until they're well into the process of building one.

Tesla has hit back following a Wall Street Journal report that its board had initiated a search for a new CEO to replace Elon Musk, taking to Musk’s social platform X to call the claim “absolutely false.”According to the WSJ report, about a month ago Tesla’s board began the process of hunting for a successor to Musk, reaching out to “several” executive search firms and getting as far as narrowing down to one firm to lead the search. Around the same time the board reportedly told Musk he needed to spend more time on Tesla, and less on DOGE, and say so publicly. In an earnings call last week he did exactly that, promising that from May he’d be “allocating far more” of his time to Tesla. The auto company has suffered from slumping sales, declining revenue, and a major brand crisis since Musk took on a closer role with Donald Trump and led efforts to slash government spending. There’s good reason to think Tesla and Musk’s other companies stand to benefit from that work too, though.Tesla moved quickly to reject the Journal’s report, publishing a rebuttal on X from board chair Robyn Denholm, who said the directors are “highly confident” in Musk’s ability to lead Tesla. She both denied that the board had initiated a CEO search, and claimed that “this was communicated to the media before the report was published.” The WSJ has not yet updated its story or responded to Denholm’s statement, though notes in its original report that it reached out to Musk for comment and didn’t receive any.Musk himself later tweeted his thoughts, accusing the paper of an “EXTREMELY BAD BREACH OF ETHICS,” and suggesting that it had been sent an “unequivocal denial beforehand.”Tesla’s board has eight members, including Musk himself along with his brother, Kimbal Musk, and James Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch. The group has been accused of being “full of sycophants,” and “overly beholden to CEO Musk,” especially in the wake of last year’s efforts to secure Musk a record-breaking pay package.As for Denholm? Despite that high confidence in Musk, she just sold over $32 million worth of Tesla shares, her third major sale in three months, and appears to be liquidating her position in the company.

Respawn Entertainment, the developer of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor for consoles and PC, has announced that it was canceling two projects that were in early development. In doing so, the studio stated that it was refocusing its efforts away from the canceled projects towards development of the upcoming sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, as well as new content for Apex Legends. By doing this, a number of employees have been moved around to other projects.

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders opened up last week at major retailers, and it went less than swimmingly online. Though GameStop’s in-store preordering process was reportedly a more pleasant experience, a few locations had their share of problems. Some customers claim their store forced them to buy accessories and games to reserve the console, a complaint GameStop is now “actively investigating.”

Yesterday, we touched upon the topic of Windows devices having issues over the past few decades, which isn't entirely surprising considering that the operating system's software contains ancient pieces of code. A prominent example of this is when Windows XP PCs used to crash if Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation was being played in their vicinity. Now, another problem has been reported, which actually poses a dire security risk, yet Microsoft has refused to do anything in response.
