When it comes to true crime on Netflix, Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez and Don’t F*** With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer are two of the newest and most fascinating additions to the list. And they are also two of the most troubling. The first tells the story of former football star Aaron Hernandez, who was charged with murder and eventually committed suicide while in prison. The latter, meanwhile, looks at how clever Internet sleuths tried to hunt down killer Luka Magnotta who posted several videos online of him harming animals before brutally killing a young student....

new When we create a class in Java and decide to use this class, we need to make an object of this class and using the object of the aforementioned class, we control and use the components of the class. An object of a class works like the handle of a motorbike. Suppose you need to control the bike; you need to hold the handle of this bike. I believe you have understood why we need to create an object....

Apple probably chose to save some money and, rather than design a smaller case for their new Airport Extreme, they just used the case for the new Time Capsule with the hard drive and connectors pulled out. That means the Airport Extremes (we’re still saying ‘Extremes’, huh?) have a 3.5 inch drive bay empty as confirmed by iFixit in their ritual teardown. That means DIYers can open the enclosure, much like iFixit did, and insert their own drives....

John Martellaro at MacObserver got his protractor out and used those drawings that the City of Cupertino released this weekend to extrapolate the real size of Apple’s new HQ building. In a word, it is BIG. The outside measurement on the plans is 760′ but the large outside shader structures could account for the additional size. Interestingly, that is a bigger footprint than the world’s largest office building, the Pentagon, which at five stories tall, two basement levels and with a smaller courtyard, still has significantly more usable square footage....

There will also be two physical buttons on the remote, the report claims....

This time, the images come courtesy of a case maker that’s preparing for this fall’s hardware. Today’s images, which come via Apple fan community in Israel HaAppelistim, offer yet another close-up look at the new flat-edge design of the upcoming iPhone 12, and even a comparison of just how similar the new design is to the iPhone 4....

But some activities are best left unmonitored. Our most intimate activities are the kind of material that unscrupulous marketers and cybercriminals are dying to get a hold of — and when they do, the end result is usually blackmail or worse. Sextortion is a known problem that has only grown more difficult to contain. Now, a new breed of trojan is taking bolder steps to secure its blackmail material. When it infects a computer, this malware secretly records your screen — and any compromising material that might be on display....

In September, NBN announced it would be looking to spend AU$4.5 billion to have 75% of its fixed-line network be able to receive 1Gbps speeds by the end of 2023, by offering on-demand upgrades to those on fibre-to-the-node (FttN) connections that wanted higher speeds. NBN said on Tuesday in its second round of consultation that it was still planning for 100Mbps to be the trigger for FttN connections to be upgraded....

iOS 13.4 contains references to a “CarKey” API, which will make it possible to use the iPhone and also the Apple Watch to unlock, lock, and start a car. According to the system’s internal files, users will be able to use CarKey in NFC-compatible cars, as they only need to hold the device near the vehicle to use it as a key. It will not be necessary to authenticate with Face ID, similar to what happens with Express Transit Cards....

Yes, I know it’s silly to be talking about the 2014 Nexus 7 when the 2013 Nexus 7 has only been shipping for a handful of days, but remember, this is the internet, and as such, it’s insane. But let’s step back for a second. When it comes to the first Nexus 7, the 2012 model, less than 10 million units were sold. By some analyst estimates, it was closer to 7 million units....
