CHEAP: Get a ridiculously good Dyson cordless vacuum for 61 percent off

Image
CHEAP: Get a ridiculously good Dyson cordless vacuum for 61 percent off By Matthew Hughes Corded vacuum cleaners suck (I’m sorry). The cables snag. Your range is limited to the nearest available wall socket. They’re often bulky and cumbersome. And, if you’re as hopelessly clumsy as I am, you’re perennially tripping on the wires. Lugging my ancient Vax to the top of my home’s landing area always feels somewhat dangerous, as though I’m Dyson with death (absolutely 100 percent not sorry). It’s for that reason why, if I lived in the states, I’d grab this Dyson V7 Motorhead cordless vacuum cleaner, which is currently on sale at Newegg for $154.99. That’s $245 (61 percent) less… This story continues at The Next Web May 3, 2019 at 03:52AM via The Next Web http://bit.ly/2UXuymC

Xbox enshrines wholesome ‘trash talk’ in its community standards

Image
Xbox enshrines wholesome ‘trash talk’ in its community standards By Rachel Kaser Microsoft changed the wording of its standards, explicitly banning offensive trash talk on its services and offering less crass alternatives. It sounds hokey at first — the examples of player banter sound so calculatedly good-natured they’ll make your teeth ache at first glance — but considering how often players can’t seem to tell the difference between trash talk and harassment, it’s an instruction some will need. The changes to Xbox‘s community standards were first spotted by eagle-eyed Redditors. The strictures on trash talk are in the fourth section, “Keep Your Content Clean,” where Microsoft outlines its desire to keep the platform accessible… This story continues at The Next Web Or just read more coverage about: Xbox May 3, 2019 at 03:49AM via The Next Web http://bit.ly/2vBqez0

ASUS made a souped-up gaming phone… so I used it to play Snake

ASUS made a souped-up gaming phone… so I used it to play Snake By Callum Booth With phones getting endlessly more powerful, it sometimes feel like a pointless arms race. Like, what do we need all that juice for? Faster scrolling on Instagram? 3D GIFS? Fucking Animoji? Well, with its beefed up ROG phone, ASUS has an answer: gaming. Muscular mobiles should be for gaming. I first covered Asus’ ROG phone over the Summer of 2018. Then, recently, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a review unit for a few weeks. While I was messing about with it, I was struck by something: yeah, a phone this powerful can play modern, 3D games easily, but… This story continues at The Next Web May 2, 2019 at 09:54PM via The Next Web http://bit.ly/2Y2AzAs

Want a blockchain job in big tech? This course might help you land one By Mix What do Facebook, Visa, Shell, IBM, and EY have in common (other than being stupid rich)? They’re all hiring blockchain talent. Indeed, blockchain jobs are popping up all over the place these days.

1 million crypto-jacking attempts blocked daily, despite Coinhive’s demise

Image
1 million crypto-jacking attempts blocked daily, despite Coinhive’s demise By Matthew Beedham The cryptocurrency mining script Coinhive may have shut down earlier this year, but crypto-jackers are still active across the internet. Many devices originally infected with Coinhive are also still trying to illicitly mine cryptocurrency. According to new figures from Malwarebytes, the cybersecurity firm blocked over 200,000 requests to connect to the Coinhive network the day after it shut down on March 8. Domain requests have since tailed off to an average of 50,000 per day over the past week. Malwarebytes is also blocking over 1 million cryptocurrency mining requests per day from Coinhive competitor CoinLoot. Late last year, reports suggested… This story continues at The Next Web May 2, 2019 at 08:59PM via The Next Web http://bit.ly/2UT5E7r
