The Galaxy S20+ vs. the competition: A bigger screen and more lenses
[ad_1] Of the three Galaxy S phones introduced today, the middle “plus” edition is probably the one that most of you will end up buying.

All Nest accounts will require extra sign-in security this spring
[ad_1] Nest still recommends that users migrate to Google accounts if they want to stay secure, although there is a caveat: you can’t currently link a Nest account if you have Google’s Advanced Protection turned on.

[ad_1] BlueFrag doesn’t work with Android 10. It’s possible that versions before Android 8 are affected, but the team hadn’t “evaluated the impact” on older releases. You can protect yourself by installing the February 2020 security patch, and the Bluetooth nature of the flaw means that you’ll have to be relatively close to an attacker. […]
YouTube Music might finally let you upload your own music library
[ad_1] This could also represent one of the last moves before Google Play Music shuts down. One of the tipsters indicated that Play Music could close “completely” in the second half of 2020.

Chrome will start protecting users from insecure downloads in April
[ad_1] April’s release will only warn users when they try to download insecure executables — such as .exe files — since they pose the most risk for introducing malware into a system.
