Norton, owned by Gen Digital, provides antivirus software, VPN services, and identity theft monitoring to protect users from cyber threats such as malware and phishing attacks. The company emphasizes subscription-based revenue through Norton 360, which bundles various security features, ensuring predictable cash flow. Norton competes with other antivirus brands like McAfee and Bitdefender, maintaining a strong market share in North America due to its established brand trust. The demand for cybersecurity tools is driven by rising cyber threats, including ransomware attacks and increased remote work, which necessitate robust online protection. Gen Digital is investing in AI-driven threat detection and expanding its offerings to address evolving security needs. However, Norton faces challenges from free alternatives, potential privacy concerns, and macroeconomic pressures that could affect consumer spending on security products.

This new Android app could be a lifesaver for sleepy commuters

Sleep&Arrive is a Wear OS app designed for commuters who often fall asleep during their journeys. It uses real-time location data to alert users when they are approaching their intended destinations, accommodating transfers and estimating location even in the event of a lost GPS signal. Users can choose from various alarm options, including phone alarms, headphone notifications, or vibrations on their smartwatch. The core version is free, offering GPS tracking and basic alarms, while a Pro tier includes additional features like support for more transfers, offline maps, and weather updates, priced at approximately per month or for lifetime access. The developer notes that the app is an assistive tool and not a guaranteed solution, as performance may be affected by GPS outages and battery management issues.

Antivirus protection built into Windows

Windows 11 includes Microsoft Defender Antivirus, which is active from the moment the device is powered on and integrated into the operating system. It continuously updates to protect against various threats, including malicious files and unsafe links. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen evaluates the safety of websites and downloads, providing warnings for dubious content. Smart App Control prevents untrusted applications from executing, while Controlled folder access protects personal files from unauthorized modifications. Users can verify the operational status of Microsoft Defender Antivirus through Windows Security settings. Best practices for maintaining security include keeping the antivirus updated, using a single real-time antivirus engine, and enhancing security habits. Microsoft Defender Antivirus is generally sufficient for everyday risks, but additional third-party antivirus solutions may be considered based on individual needs.

US government wants gamers to become air traffic controllers

The U.S. government is launching a campaign to attract gamers to become air traffic controllers, with Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy promoting the initiative on social media. The air traffic control sector is facing a staffing shortage of approximately 4,000 controllers, with only 11,700 certified professionals and trainees available. This shortage has been worsened by a government shutdown that resulted in 44 days of unpaid work for controllers, leading to retirements. The average salary for an air traffic controller reaches 0,000 after three years. Duffy described the hiring process as "supercharged" and emphasized the need to adapt communication strategies to engage younger demographics. Recent incidents, including a crash at LaGuardia Airport, have raised concerns about staffing levels, although Duffy stated that no critical safety personnel were affected by previous staff reductions.

This new app may free Galaxy Watch owners from Samsung’s phone-locked features

A new application called the GeminiMan Wellness Companion has been developed for Galaxy Watch users by Dante63, who previously created a patched version of the Samsung Health Monitor. The app allows users to record electrocardiogram (ECG) data from the Galaxy Watch, providing detailed reports and AI-driven analysis through a mobile app. It can track heart rhythm and rate, flagging abnormal rhythms, which the Samsung Health Monitor does not. Users can personalize their measurements with notes and create multiple profiles for different users. The app ensures data security through encryption and offers export options for ECG reports in CSV or PDF formats. Future updates will include blood pressure recording and additional health metrics like blood oxygen levels and sleep patterns. The development roadmap is available on the GeminiMan Wellness Companion GitHub page.
