The FBI said Roy Den Hollander was the “primary subject in the attack” and confirmed he had been pronounced dead.

If you’re looking to turn your home into a smart one, it can get pretty expensive once you start adding things up. However, if you’re not looking for anything too major, maybe you just like the idea of being able to remotely control your appliances like your lights, then you might be interested in checking out Belkin’s latest Wemo WiFi Smart Plug.

The device was originally announced at CES 2020, and it looks like it is now finally available for purchase. In case you missed the original announcement, this is a smart plug that you can plug regular non-smart devices too, like a table lamp, for example. This means that once your device is plugged into it, it will gain some “smart” capabilities like being able to remotely control its operation through your phone.

It will be limited in terms of functionality compared to a more full-on smart appliance, but it should be good enough to get you started, plus it is also relatively inexpensive and could be an affordable entry into making your home smarter. It is priced at $25 and it will also support Apple’s HomeKit platform.

While Belkin is no stranger to smart plug, its latest offering comes with a smaller footprint that should make it less conspicuous. If you’re interested in getting your hands on it, head on over to Belkin’s website to place your order.

Scams involving gift cards are pretty common. This is because instead of asking victims to send them money directly, these scammers sometimes ask for payments in the form of gift cards. Like we said, given how common these scams, you might think that companies would be doing more to stop them, or at least help those that fall victim to such scams.

We’re not sure what Apple’s procedure is when it comes to iTunes gift card scams, but it seems that some people are simply not thrilled with how the company handles it, and a class-action lawsuit has since been filed against the company for apparently not doing much to help those who have been prey to such tactics.

According to the lawsuit, Apple apparently tells victims that there’s nothing that they can do once the money has been spent. However, the lawsuit argues that this isn’t true. Apple is said to hold 100% of the funds for a period of 4-6 weeks between apps being purchased and the money being given to developers.

This kind of acts like an escrow where Apple holds the funds, instead of the money going directly from the purchaser and the developer. This means that this is within Apple’s control to refund 100% of the money spent on the gift card. Apple has yet to respond to the lawsuit, but hopefully this will change how the company approaches and handles gift card scams in the future.

Many of SpaceX’s rocket launches of late have almost become unexciting and normal, which is actually a good thing for the company’s goals. Just as each and every plane flight has become almost banal, so too will space flight become in SpaceX’s and Elon Musk’s vision. That said, there are still some things that the company has to check off … Continue reading

Changing a movie that’s already been released causes many fascinating challenges. In the case of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, one of those challenges is the fact that other DCEU movies took what happened in the theatrical cut as gospel. So where does that leave the “Snyder Cut”? Snyder himself has a few thoughts.
