Unravel Charger Review: AirPower Is Dead, So Buy This Charging Mat Instead

Welp, Apple Just Canceled AirPower

<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14548" height="799" src="https://www.reviewgeek.com/p/uploads/2019/03/62cf6ba2.jpg" width="1421" /></p>
<p>Apple first announced AirPower in 2017 with a projected release in 2018. But that time came and went with nary a word from Apple. Now, despite several reports and rumors to the contrary, the project has been canceled.</p>
<p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/29/apple-cancels-airpower-product-citing-inability-to-meet-its-high-standards-for-hardware/">In a statement to TechCrunch</a>, Apple Senior VP of Hardware Engineering Dan Riccio cited the inability to meet Apple’s strict standards the reason for the cancelation.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>After much effort, we’ve concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards and we have cancelled the project. We apologize to those customers who were looking forward to this launch. We continue to believe that the future is wireless and are committed to push the wireless experience forward.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The timing on this is pretty wild because just two weeks ago speculation was running wild about <em>when</em>—not <em>if</em>—Apple would finally announce its release. Some sites even went as far as to speculate that it would be released on March 21st or 22nd, at the end of a long week of Apple announcements.</p>
<p>It’s clear that Apple had every intention of releasing the product because it was referenced on product packaging <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/03/25/airpower-airpods-2-packaging/">as late as the newly-updated AirPods</a>, which were released just last week. Crazy.</p>

How to Resize PowerPoint Templates

Admin 0 Tips 20:55

<p><img alt="powerpoint logo" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-409190" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/office_powerpoint_lede-5.png" width="649" /></p>
<p>By default, PowerPoint slides use a widescreen format in a 16:9 ratio. If you’d like to change it to the standard format (4:3 ratio), or even create a custom size, PowerPoint provides a quick and painless way to make this happen.</p>
<h2>Resizing PowerPoint Templates</h2>
<p>Resizing the slides in PowerPoint will affect the way they appear during the actual presentation and how they appear on the handouts. Go ahead and open up the presentation that we will be resizing and select the “Design” tab.</p>
<p><img alt="design tab in powerpoint" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408961" height="161" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/design-tab-in-powerpoint.png" width="297" /></p>
<p>Next, click the “Slide Size” button.</p>
<p><img alt="slide size in customize group" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408962" height="159" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/slide-size-in-customize-group.png" width="343" /></p>
<p>A menu will appear, allowing you to choose between the “Standard” format (4:3) or the “Widescreen” format (16:9). If you’re switching over to the standard format without any other changes, you can select it from the menu, and the changes will take effect. If you want to do a little custom tweaking to tailor the size to your specific needs, then select “Custom Slide Size.”</p>
<p><img alt="custom slide size" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408963" height="116" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/custom-slide-size.png" width="158" /></p>
<p>In the Slide Size window that appears, clicking the box under “Slides sized for” (1) will open a menu with several different options. Choose the one that best matches your needs. Alternatively, you can customize the dimensions of the slides by entering the slide size in the “Width” and “Height” boxes (2). Finally, you can choose the orientation of your slides and handouts by selecting “Portrait” or “Landscape” (4) in the respective section.</p>

Daily News Roundup: Office Depot Faked Malware Scans, Prime Members Get Free Switch Online, and More

<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408132" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/news-header-4.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>Happy Friday, guys and gals! While Apple and Microsoft have been quiet for the last day, there’s a little bit to talk about in Google-land. But the biggest news? Office Depot has been duping users. And it makes me sad.</p>
<h2>Google News: Gmail on iOS Finally Gets Gestures</h2>
<p>Google has a new game, Gmail on iOS gets gesture-ized, and Photos is getting some document storing chops. All this and more!</p>
<ul>
<li>YouTube TV is available in every US TV market now. Despite <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/322321/what-is-youtube-tv-and-can-it-replace-your-cable-subscription/">getting off to a rocky start</a>, this is now a fantastic streaming TV solution that’s insanely simple. [<a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/28/youtube-tv-us-rollout-complete/">Engadget</a>]</li>
<li>Google has a new offline Easter Egg game. It’s like Flappy Bird, but also not. Spoiler: There’s a cloud involved. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/29/googles-new-offline-easter-egg-game-is-like-flappy-bird-but-with-a-cute-cloud/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>If you’ve ever used Gmail on Android, you know it has some incredibly useful swipe gestures. Until now, those have been missing on iOS. [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/29/18286713/gmail-swipe-actions-ios-app-trash-mark-read-unread-snooze-archive">The Verge</a>]</li>
<li>Photos is getting document cropping, which should make it easier to store receipts and other important things without a bunch of clutter around the edges or in the background. [<a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/google-photos-crop-documents-file-management/">XDA Developers</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>When it comes to choosing a good streaming service for your needs, it’s a challenge. There are a handful of good providers out there all duking it out for your hard-earned dollars, and each of them as its own set of benefits.</p>
<p>That said, it’s hard to beat YouTube TV when it comes to pure simplicity—it’s one price and one package. That’s it. You can add a few extra channels if you want, but otherwise, it’s about as simple as it can get. It’s available on basically any device you could want it on, too. That makes for an even better (and simpler) experience, as it most likely works on what you already have.</p>
<p>I’m currently in a position where I’m considering switching my Sling package, but after taking a closer look at YouTube TV, it appears that it may be an even better fit for my family. If you haven’t looked at it lately, it may be worth a shot for you, too.</p>
<h2>Other News: Office Depot, Why Have You Forsaken Me?</h2>
<p>Office Depot has been duping users to make money off of PC repairs. Verizon launched its service for free spam blocking. Prime members can get a free year of Switch Online. There’s some cool stuff to talk about today.</p>
<ul>
<li>Office Depot has been rigging PCs—even new ones!—with tainted malware scans to upsell virus and malware removals services. It got busted, and now it has to pay $25 <em>million</em> monies to the FTC. [<a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/03/office-depot-tricked-people-into-buying-pc-support-with-fake-virus-scans/">Ars Technica</a>, <a href="https://gizmodo.com/office-depot-agrees-to-pay-25-million-to-ftc-over-scam-1833655854">Gizmodo</a>]</li>
<li>Amazon Prime members can get a free year of Switch Online by way of Twitch Prime. Just create a Twitch account, connect it to Amazon, and you’re in. That’s a deal you can’t beat. [<a href="https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/03/amazon-prime-now-includes-a-free-one-year-subscription-to-nintendo-switch-online/?tag=823814-20">Ars Technica</a>]</li>
<li>Verizon launched its free service for blocking spam calls. No extra payment, no bullcrap. Just fewer spam calls (we hope, anyway). [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/28/18285643/verizon-spam-calls-robocalls-blocking-identifying-service">The Verge</a>]</li>
<li>Speaking of spam calls, the FCC has fined robocallers $208 million since 2015 but has only collected $6,790 of that. Why is it not surprising that anyone engaged in this shady garbage wouldn’t be willing to pay up? [<a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/03/fcc-fined-robocallers-208-million-since-2015-but-collected-only-6790/">Ars Technica</a>]</li>
<li>In other troubling news, there’s a serious flaw in the Magento e-commerce platform that puts it at a much higher risk of card skimmers. A patch has been released, but vendors still have to install it. Tread carefully, my friends. [<a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/03/severe-magento-bug-opens-300k-commerce-sites-to-card-skimming-attacks/">Ars Technica</a>]</li>
<li>A 24-year-old “security researcher” plead guilty to hacking into Nintendo, Microsoft, and Vtech. He barely avoided prison time for the intrusions. [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/28/18286027/microsoft-nintendo-vtech-security-hack-breach-researcher-guilty">The Verge</a>]</li>
<li>Alexa for Business will let companies create special Alexa skills just for their employees. That’s…pretty cool, actually. [<a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/28/amazon-launches-alexa-for-business/?tag=823814-20">Engadget</a>]</li>
<li>Sony handed over majority ownership of Crackle to Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, and the pair plan to reboot it as Crackle Plus with a lot more content. All still free, of course. [<a href="https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/sony-crackle-sale-joint-venture-1203174804/">Variety</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>I can remember spending a lot of time in Office Depot as a young man. It was the best place in my town to buy anything computer-related, but I would mostly go in there just to look and mess with the computers I couldn’t afford to buy.</p>
<p>Of course, with the rise of online shopping, stores like Office Depot have been <em>struggling</em> to keep up. It’s not the go-to source it once was, and apparently desperate times call for desperate measures. It’s really a bummer to see it go down this path of dishonesty, but it’s also not surprising.</p>

How to Create a Flow From Scratch

Admin 0 Tips 19:55

<p><img alt="Microsoft Flow logo" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-404929" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Image-2.png" width="650" /></p>
<p><a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/404854/what-is-microsoft-flow/">Microsoft Flow</a> is a trigger-based system for creating automated workflows. There are lots of templates available, but if they don’t fit the bill for you then here’s how to create a brand new Flow from scratch.</p>
<p>You’ll need a free or paid-for plan to use Flow, so go ahead and <a href="https://flow.microsoft.com">sign up for one</a> if you haven’t already. Head to the Office 365 app launcher (the nine dots in the top left corner) and click Flow to launch it.</p>
<p><img alt="The O365 app launcher and Flow tile" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-407945" height="349" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/1-App-Launcher.png" width="172" /></p>
<h2>Step One: Create a New Flow</h2>
<p>The front page throws you straight into the templates, but we’re going to create a Flow from scratch, so click “My Flows” in the menu on the left-hand side.</p>
<p><img alt="The side menu showing "My Flows"" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-407946" height="346" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/2-My-Flows.png" width="186" /></p>
<p>If you’ve never created a Flow before then this page will be blank; otherwise, it’ll contain any flows you’ve previously created. Click New > Create from blank to start a new Flow from scratch.</p>
<p><img alt="The New > Create from blank option" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-407947" height="201" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/3-Create-from-blank.png" width="426" /></p>
<p>You’ll be given the option to start from a popular trigger, but we’re going to start from nothing, so click the “Create from blank” button.</p>

What’s the Difference Between My Photo Stream and iCloud Photos?

Admin 0 Tips 18:35

<p><img alt="iCloud Photos logo" class="alignnone wp-image-408415 size-full" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c92c8ddeddfd.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>Keeping your family photos safe from device failure is the primary reason backups exist. iCloud claims to back up all your photos “in the cloud,” but the way it works varies depending on what settings you have enabled.</p>
<h2>My Photo Stream vs. iCloud Photos</h2>
<p><img alt="iCloud photos options" class="alignnone wp-image-408386 size-full" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c92b3ebe9c9a.jpg" width="650" /></p>
<p>“iCloud Photos” does what you’d expect—it stores all your photos in iCloud. Whenever you take a picture on your iPhone, it immediately uploads to iCloud where it’s backed up even if you break your phone. iCloud Photos will also send all the photos you’ve taken to your Mac, and any other device you have connected to iCloud so that everything is synced up. This is assuming everything is connected to the internet, and you haven’t turned off <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/341386/how-to-stop-icloud-photo-library-from-using-your-cellular-data/">iCloud Photo Library using cellular data</a>.</p>
<p>iCloud Photos is great but has a major issue: storage space. The free iCloud data plan only gives you 5 GB of storage, which is extremely small, even compared to other free storage plans from services like Google Drive. You can fit about 1600 pictures in 5 GB of space, but that doesn’t include videos and everything else you have stored in iCloud.</p>
<p>When your storage is full, iCloud Photos will stop working. It fills up fast, and when it does, you’ll be pestered with notifications asking you to upgrade.</p>
<p><img alt="annoying iCloud Storage is Full notification" class="alignnone wp-image-408387 size-full" height="205" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c92b49c434de.png" width="505" /></p>
<p>“My Photo Stream” tries to solve this issue. It will only store the first 1000 pictures taken in the last month, and remove old pictures from your Photo Stream. This gives your Mac or other devices enough time to sync with iCloud, backing up your pictures on your other devices. Your pictures won’t be stored in the cloud, but you won’t have to back them up to your computer manually. If one of your devices breaks, you’ll still have all your photos on your other devices.</p>
<p>So as long as you don’t break all of your devices at once, My Photo Stream will still ensure you have copies of your photos. The main problem with it is that when you get a new device or upgrade your phone, your pictures won’t automatically download to that device, because My Photo Stream only stores the most recent photos. You’ll have to manually load the photos onto your new phone from your Mac, and if you don’t have a Mac, you’re out of luck unless you have enough space in iCloud to turn on iCloud Photos.</p>

Android Weekly: Galaxy Fold Details, a 4000 mAh Battery Charged in 17 Minutes, and More

Admin 0 Tips 17:31

<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-409296" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/android-weekly-HTG-2.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>This week saw a lot of Samsung news (as usual), with more details about the Galaxy Fold starting to trickle out. Xiaomi also showed off its 100w charger that can juice a 4,000 mAh battery in just 17 minutes. And more!</p>
<h2>Samsung News: Watching the Fold Fold</h2>
<p>Let’s start with the Samsung stuff this week, shall we?</p>
<ul>
<li>Samsung showed off how it tested the Galaxy Fold’s seam durability. It can fold 200,000 times. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/27/know-when-to-fold-em-the-galaxy-fold-can-survive-200000-folds/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>All versions of the Fold will reportedly ship with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855. Not surprising. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/25/all-samsung-galaxy-fold-variants-will-ship-with-a-snapdragon-855-processor/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>The Fold will be released in 15 countries in Europe starting at €2,000. That’s so many €. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/26/samsung-galaxy-fold-will-come-to-15-countries-in-europe-starting-at-a-whopping-e2000/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>The Galaxy A90 was teased, with Samsung saying it will have a “Notchless Infinity Screen.” Curious! We’ll find out more on April 10th. [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/22/18277109/samsung-galaxy-a90-features-notchless-infinity-display">The Verge</a>]</li>
<li>If you can’t wait for the A90, however, the A70 was released this week. [<a href="http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/news/capture-connect-and-conquer-with-the-new-samsung-galaxy-a70">Samsung</a>]</li>
<li>NBC used a Galaxy S10+ to shoot an entire episode of The Tonight Show. I wonder how much Samsung had to pay for <em>that</em>? [<a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/25/tonight-show-galaxy-s10-episode/">Engadget</a>]</li>
<li>The March security update was pushed to the S10. That’s…pretty much up to date! [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/25/galaxy-s10-march-security-update/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>The Galaxy A6+ Android Pie w/ One UI updated started rolling out. [<a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-a6-one-ui-android-pie-update/">XDA Developers</a>]</li>
<li>The Galaxy Note Fan Edition also started getting Android Pie with One UI. Hey, that rhymes. [<a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-fe-android-pie-one-ui-update/">XDA Developers</a>]</li>
<li>Sprint’s S8, S8+, and Note 8 are all getting Pie with One UI. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/26/android-9-pie-rolling-out-to-the-sprint-galaxy-s8-and-s8/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>In slightly weird news, some Samsung device owners were concerned when the “Notification” app got updated. Yeah, it’s nothing. Just a Samsung thing. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/21/no-the-samsung-notifications-app-update-is-not-dangerous/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>If you’re not into the S10’s hole punch camera cutout, a new app called Energy Ring may change that. It moves the battery indicator to <em>around</em> the camera. So clean. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/25/energy-ring-wraps-a-battery-indicator-around-the-galaxy-s10s-hole-punch-camera/">Android Police</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>I’m honestly kind of shocked to see this much talk about the Galaxy Fold. I don’t see Samsung moving a lot of Fold units this year—and I don’t think it expects to, either—but the fact that it’s being talked up this week proves that the company believes in this foldable design overall. Still, $2,000 is a lot of money for a phone (or for anything, really), so unless a more affordable way to manufacturer <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/402920/how-do-foldable-phones-work-and-when-will-i-get-one/">foldables</a> comes out, they’re still not going to have much of a future.</p>
<h2>Google News: YouTube’s Monster Mobile Traffic</h2>
<p>Google I/O is getting close, and the schedule is out. YouTube draws a crazy amount of mobile traffic. You can use Google Assistant to get a Play Store refund. Wait, did you know you could use Google Assistant to get a Play Store refund?</p>
<ul>
<li>Google I/O starts on May 7th with the opening keynote at 10:00 AM PST. Get hyped. [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/27/google-io-2019-schedule/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>Need a refund for a Google Play purchase? Just as Google Assistant! [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/22/heres-how-google-assistant-can-help-you-get-a-play-store-refund/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>The Pixel Launcher in Android Q is testing Digital Wellbeing integration to let you pause apps directly from the home screen. Also, did you know you can pause apps with Digital Wellbeing [<a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/pixel-launcher-android-q-tests-digital-wellbeing-integration/">XDA Developers</a>]</li>
<li>YouTube accounts for 40% of all mobile web traffic. Out of all the websites on this planet, YouTube gets nearly half the traffic. It boggles the mind. [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/22/youtube-mobile-web-traffic-report/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>Google Fit got some nice enhancements that bring back elevation data and sleep tracking info from third-party apps. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/23/google-fit-brings-back-elevation-levels-for-workouts-and-sleep-tracking-data-from-third-party-apps-apk-download/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>Android Auto was also updated with support for widescreen display. You can run two panels on the same screen! [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/21/android-auto-widescreen-support/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>When Google announced the Pixel Slate, there was a $599 version with a Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM. But that version never actually made it to release—and it likely never will. [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/25/entry-level-google-pixel-slate-rip/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>Advanced call blocking abilities may be coming soon to a Google Phone app near you. The phone tweaks are the main thing I miss about using the PIxel line. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/25/long-awaited-robust-call-blocking-features-may-soon-come-to-google-phone-app/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>YouTube TV is now available in every US TV market. [<a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/28/youtube-tv-us-rollout-complete/">Engadget</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>There are two main times of year I look forward to: Christmas and Google I/O (which is kind of like Google Christmas). Even though I’ve moved away from covering <em>just</em> Android and Google products, I’m still “an Android guy” in my heart of hearts, and I look forward to I/O every single year. This year is no different.</p>
<p>Google I/O is the time of year when we get a glimpse of everything Google has planned for Android, Chrome, Chrome OS, and beyond. It gives all users something to look forward to in the coming months. All of the company’s coolest innovations and ideas are shown off at I/O.</p>
<p>And I love it so much.</p>
<h2>Other News: Xiaomi’s Crazy 100w Charger</h2>
<p>Have you ever had a dead battery and thought to yourself “man, if only a way existed to charge this battery completely in like 17 minutes”? If so, Xiaomi has some good news for you.</p>
<ul>
<li>Xiaomi showed off an insane 100w charger that will charge its 4,000 mAh battery to 100% in just 17 minutes. I can’t fathom how hot it gets in the process.

<li>Xiaomi also teased its foldable phone in a new video. What if—and hear me out here—it can fold <em>and</em> get a full battery in 17 minutes? [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/3/28/18285136/xiaomi-foldable-phone-video-teaser">The Verge</a>]</li>
<li>The Huawei P10 and Honor 8x are both getting Android Pie. [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/27/huawei-p10-android-pie/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>Also! The P30 and P30 Pro were officially announced. [<a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-p30-pro-p30-official/">XDA Developers</a>]</li>
<li>In other Huawei news, the CFO didn’t even carry a Huawei device, but an iPhone instead. 🤔 [<a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/03/23/even-huaweis-cfo-didnt-want-to-carry-huawei-products-opting-for-apple-instead/">9to5Mac</a>]</li>
<li>There’s a new scam that allows advertisers to run ads in the background on your phone. They make money, and your phone’s battery gets crushed. If only you could recharge it in 17 minutes—then everyone would win! I think?

There is an optional setting that makes the current dark mode more of a pitch black. It was dark. You asked for darker! Swipe right to check out our new dark mode. Rolling out today. pic.twitter.com/6MEACKRK9K — Twitter (@Twitter) March 28, 2019 In order to make use of the new feature, users need to head on to Twitter app’s “Settings and Privacy” section, then click on “Display and Sound.” From there, you can toggle on the “Dark Mode,” which enables the current blue-black theme. Twitter previously called its dark theme “Night mode” which will now be named “Dark mode.” New icons are also arriving with today’s changes.

Update WinRAR Now to Protect Your PC From Attacks

Admin 0 Tips 16:15

<p><img alt="WinRAR installer logo on a Windows 10 desktop" class="alignnone wp-image-409343 size-full" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c9d3d9243947.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>Do you have WinRAR installed on your Windows PC? Then you’re probably vulnerable to attack. RARLab patched a dangerous security bug at the end of February 2019, but WinRAR doesn’t automatically update itself. Most WinRAR installations are still vulnerable.</p>
<h2>What’s the Danger?</h2>
<p>WinRAR contains a flaw that would let a .RAR file you download automatically extract an .exe file to your <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/208224/how-to-add-programs-files-and-folders-to-system-startup-in-windows-8.1/">Startup folder</a>. That .exe file would automatically be started the next time you sign into your PC, and it could infect your PC with malware.</p>
<p>Specifically, this flaw is a result of WinRAR’s ACE file support. An attacker simply needs to create a specially crafted ACE archive and give it the .RAR file extension. When you extract the file with a vulnerable version of WinRAR, it can automatically place malware in your Startup folder without any additional user action.</p>
<p>This serious flaw was found by researchers at <a href="https://research.checkpoint.com/extracting-code-execution-from-winrar/">Check Point Software Technologies</a>. WinRAR contained an ancient DLL from 2006 to enable support for ACE archives, and that file has now been removed from the latest versions of WinRAR, which no longer support ACE archives. Don’t worry—ACE archives are very rare.</p>
<p>However, unless you’ve heard of this “path traversal” flaw already, you may be at risk. WinRAR doesn’t automatically update itself. We’re also extremely disappointed that WinRAR’s website doesn’t highlight information about this security flaw and instead buries it in WinRAR’s <a href="https://www.rarlab.com/rarnew.htm">release notes</a>.</p>
<p>WinRAR reportedly has 500 million users worldwide, and we’re certain most of those users haven’t yet heard of this bug and updated WinRAR.</p>
<p>While an update was released back in February, this story is still picking up steam. Security researchers at <a href="https://securingtomorrow.mcafee.com/other-blogs/mcafee-labs/attackers-exploiting-winrar-unacev2-dll-vulnerability-cve-2018-20250/">McAfee</a> had identified more than 100 unique exploits online by mid-March, with most users attacked being in the USA. For example, a bootlegged copy of Ariana Grande’s album “Thank U, Next” with the filename “Ariana_Grande-thank_u,_next(2019)_[320].rar” available online is being used to install malware via vulnerable versions of WinRAR.</p>

Gmail for iOS gets much needed swipe gesture

Admin 0 Mobiles 13:22

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Gmail_Go-e1518684297877.jpg" /> Google recently announced a brand-new mobile redesign for Gmail with many new productivity improvements. The company has added a new swipe action in Gmail on iOS to do any of the following actions: Archive, Trash, Mark as read/unread, Snooze, and Move to. This feature indeed helps the user to get things done more quickly and can be customised as well. Users can access the swipe configuration settings by going into the Gmail iOS app and navigating to Settings > Swipe actions, and choosing the swipe options that work best for you. Moreover, the users can also use the same actions to triage the notifications as well. For example, if you like to snooze emails, you can press firmly (3D Touch) or long press on a Gmail iOS notification, and click on "Snooze" directly to pick the date and time when to snooze the email until. In addition to this, the redesigning also includes attachment quick view, switching between personal and work accounts, minimal use of colour helps you focus on content and of course, a red warning to alert you when something looks phish-y.
