Malware Isn’t Malware If It’s Made By The FBI, Claims The FBI
It’s a secret (hopefully) to no one that government agencies like the FBI would love nothing more than to know what the country’s citizens (and others, for that matter) are up to at all times.

The Best Of Both Worlds: Samsung Announces Mammoth 4TB 850 EVO Solid-state Drive

id Software Rolls Out DOOM Vulkan Update, AMD Notes Significant Improvements Over OpenGL
