From now on, YouTube and Google Play Movies will happily work with the feature. Binge On rolled out late last year, allowing many customers to receive unlimited video streaming at 480p. That's not a great offer if you care about video quality, but it's nice if you want to save money.
How To: Delete Files on Android So They Can't Ever Be Recovered
When you delete a file, Android doesn't actually remove it from your storage drive—instead, it simply marks that space as empty and pretends the file doesn't exist anymore. But deep down inside, the file that you originally wrote to that location is still physically there, at least until you randomly happen to save another file on top of that same spot.

How To: Creating Unique and Safe Passwords, Part 1 Using Wordlists
Greetings fellow hackers. This tutorial is about creating "safe" passwords. This is different from strong passwords. Safe passwords is just creating a password that is not used by someone else or colleague, my definition. But how do you prevent something like this from happening? Of course you won't ask your friend if s|he is using the password you are about to create. Before I show you some of my tele-psychic powers like Professor Xavier, you might want to read this for advice on creating "s...

How To: Security-Oriented C Tutorial 0x11 - Command Line Arguments
In many programs on Linux, you'll come across programs which allow you to specify additional arguments instead of just simply running the program by itself. If you've used the Kali distribution, I'm more than certain you'll have come across these with the command line tools, else if you have been following these tutorials, we have already come across three tools which also use the same technique, i.e. gcc, gdb and wc.

News: How to Hail a Ride in Uber's Official Windows 10 App
Windows 10 universal apps are actually pretty awesome—regardless of if you're using a desktop, laptop, tablet, or convertible, the same app automatically scales up or down to suit your device.

How To: Get the Classic Volume Controls Back in Windows 10
Windows 10 definitely has a sleek and modern look to it, but some of these visual changes have been made at the expense of functionality.

How To: Make Instant 'Aged' Bourbon Out of the Cheap Stuff
Step aside, vodka—whiskey will soon be the best-selling hard liquor in the United States.
