Format: Markdown version of the HTML page (same content, lookups and page chrome left out).

Technology news, gadgets, electronics and maker projects, with online safety first. A pop-up or call saying your computer is infected and to call a number is a tech support scam: real companies never ask for remote access, gift cards or crypto. Keep devices updated and turn on multi-factor authentication. News and shop sites below are commercial.
