An extensive study into the top 100,000 websites revealed that many leaked information people entered in the site forms to third-party trackers before people even pressed the submit button. It found thousands of such websites that leaked everything from email addresses to passwords, though thankfully, many fixed the issues once the researchers contacted them. “It is concerning to see websites leaking passwords,” Rick McElroy, Principal Cybersecurity Strategist at VMware, told Lifewire over email, reacting to the research....

The new policy is the first of its kind to punish people harassing others on platforms outside of Twitch. While streamers haven’t seen an immediate effect of the policy, they are hopeful it will change the culture of harassing across social media. “It’s an incredibly bold step for Twitch to codify this and to actually put it down in writing,” Twitch streamer Veronica Ripley, aka Nikatine, told Lifewire over the phone....

The A7 is newer and more powerful than the A6, particularly because it’s a 64-bit chip (the first in a smartphone). Because it’s 64-bit, the A7 can process chunks of data twice as big as those handled by the 32-bit A6. Processor speed isn’t as big a factor in smartphones as it is in computers (many other things affect overall performance as much as, if not more​ than, processor speed), and the A6 is fast, but the A7 in the iPhone 5S makes that model speedier than the 5C....

You can ask your device to play specific playlists, songs, or albums, but the feature set is restricted—you can’t view lyrics, stream lossless audio, or try Spatial Audio, for example. So while you do have access to Apple Music’s entire catalog, the restrictions might not be worth saving $5 per month on the full subscription cost....

Godzilla 2014 As of now the only game based on the upcoming Godzilla (2014) flick is a dinky mobile puzzle thing, which is hard to really get too excited for. Instead, we’ll have to be satisfied with older Godzilla releases. Godzilla Kaiju Daikessen The rest of the games on this list were released in the U.S., but a list of the best Godzilla games would be seriously flawed if it didn’t include the Japanese-only Kaiju Daikessen for Super Famicom (SNES)....

The iPad’s limit isn’t hardware capability, but a lack of pro software. The 2018 iPad Pro is still too fast for most uses, even almost three years after its launch. Except for a few exceptionally power-hungry apps, there’s almost no way to push that old iPad Pro to its limits. So, why is Apple bothering to put its M1 chip in there? Where are Final Cut, Logic, or proper Photoshop for iOS?...

The Steam Deck ships with a KDE desktop that users can access easily thanks to its Desktop mode. In fact, many users have docked it to a monitor and external peripherals to use it for their regular desktop computing tasks. That has led some aficionados to believe the Deck can go a step further, potentially helping people shed apprehensions about Linux as a desktop operating system. “It’s possible with more gamers becoming aware of Steam Deck being Linux powered,” Michael Larabel, founder and principal author of computer hardware website, Phoronix, told Lifewire in email....
