If you leave something on the internet long enough, someone will hack it. The reality is that many device manufacturers make it far too easy by using default passwords that are widely documented, allowing anyone to log in as “admin” and snoop around. Often, there’s no password at all. Enter “Shodan Safari,” a popular part-game, […]

In January, Instagram started testing an interesting new feature: It would notify users when someone took a screenshot of their stories.
According to BuzzFeed, though, Instagram is no longer testing the feature.
Instagram Stories, just like Snapchat Stories, are designed to be ephemeral — meaning they are only available for a short period of time, and then they’re gone forever. This limitation can obviously be avoided in numerous ways, with taking a screenshot or recording a video being the most obvious. But many users who would think of doing so would likely pause if they thought the person who posted the video would be notified that their story is being screenshotted/recorded. Read more…

As someone that moves from macOS to Windows frequently and takes screenshots all the time (I admit, it’s a little specific, but I can’t be the only one), one of the most annoying things about Windows is the lack of an integrated, powerful screenshot tool.
Yes, there were several ways to take a screenshot in Windows, but nothing compared to the simplicity of hitting Shift+Command+3 or 4 to capture your entire screen or a portion of it.
Well, this has changed in the latest beta version of Windows 10 (Build 17661, via The Verge), which brings Screen Sketch — previously a part of the Windows Ink Workspace — as a standalone app. Read more…

Did you really think Instagram was going to stop copying Snapchat features in 2018?
Now, Instagram is reportedly testing a new feature — one that Snapchat already has — that notifies users when someone’s taken a screenshot or screen recording of your stories.
Tech news site WABetaInfo claims that Instagram is testing the feature, but only internally. The website previously reported on Instagram testing a new word-focused tool called “Text” that can be used in the app’s stories feature.
According to WABetaInfo, users will see a special icon next to a person’s name if they take a screenshot or recording of your story. Read more…
