JBL Pulse 3 is Weatherproof Bluetooth Speaker Puts on a Fun Light Show

#JBL Pulse 3 is #Weatherproof #Bluetooth #Speaker Puts on a #Fun #Light #Show

It’s difficult to review products like the JBL Pulse 3. Does one rate it as a new-age lava lamp, as a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, or as the combination of both that it is? Call me old-school, but if a speaker doesn’t sound good, I don’t care how shiny it looks. At least at the Pulse 3’s $200 price point.

At $75 or $100, I’d probably feel differently about the Pulse 3, which is cleverly designed…

You could, for example, visit a website that unintentionally displays malicious ads. Or accidentally click on a phishing email (it happens!). Or get…

If #Apple’s #iOS 11.2.2 #Spectre #Patch Probably #Slow #Down Your #iPhone, Then Here’s #What to Do

Last week Apple pushed out iOS 11.2.2, which seeks to mitigate the risks associated with the Spectre chip flaw via a security update to Safari and Webkit. Since a Spectre attacker is most likely to attack your system via a Javascript vulnerability, Apple has addressed the issue in iOS 11.2.2 to make your system more secure.
