A new “Stealing Isn't Innovation” campaign has been launched in the United States that challenges how generative AI systems are trained on copyrighted material with neither permission nor payment.

Many modern networks rely on inspection techniques to filter or… [Continue Reading]

Connection Explorer is designed to show every active connection on a Windows system in real time. It breaks down which applications are communicating, where data is going, and how frequently those connections occur. It's… [Continue Reading]
