Google, which acquired Nest for $3.2 billion in 2014, announced the Google Assistant update for the Nest Guard product in a blog post two weeks ago. The update would let users arm their system with their voice and also control other products such as a Nest Thermostat and door locks.

During the trial, Culkin repudiated testimony from Neverland Ranch’s former chef and Jackson’s former personal maid, both of whom claimed to have seen inappropriate conduct between Jackson and the young Home Alone star: “I couldn’t believe that, first of all, these people were saying these things or—let alone that it was out there and people were thinking that kind of thing about me.”

The advantages of the PIN code technology are that PIN codes work immediately, the Padlock does not need to be connected to the internet, and the owner does not need to be within proximity of the device. PIN codes are sent via a messaging system of the owner’s choice—Facebook Messenger, Skype, SMS, WhatsApp—and once received, they can immediately be used. Duration of access can be set and limited from one-time PINs to recurring and permanent ones, including setting the exact time and date at which a PIN code becomes active and expires.

Asked why Windows was unable to differentiate between malicious and legitimate DLLs, he explained that Windows only performed a search if no path was provided. So the issue was whether software developers had specified the DLL path. "Vendors will usually patch their software if they find paths that aren’t specified, but that may not prevent the attacker from using the technique since they can drop an unpatched version and use that to load the malicious DLL," he said. 

You also get many One UI and Pie-specific features, such as a Night mode, although some existing Galaxy features have been slightly crippled on Pie. Multi Window, in particular, now works exactly like it does on stock Android. You can’t swipe in from the edge in an app to make it open in a pop-up window, nor can you long press the recent apps key to quickly jump into Multi Window mode. Basically, some of the nifty shortcuts have been removed, although Multi Window itself works just as well as it always has.

“When I started, people were wondering why I was doing this. I would hear things like, ‘I have a husband,’ or ‘I have a gun.’ People are realizing it can happen to anyone, anywhere. This isn’t gender-specific either. Even though it’s called Damsel in Defense, men carry these things, too.”

A padlock for outdoor use needs to be able to survive the elements, but that doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. Practical Boat Owner magazine found that this lock, with its weatherproof PVC coating and hardened steel shackle, had the best attack resistance in its class, withstanding a lot of force and some serious bolt cutters. If you actually want to use it on a boat then you’ll find it’s somewhat resistant to salty water too, though you can expect a little corrosion over time, which can make the key feel stickier to turn. All in all, this is an impressive weatherproof lock, especially for the price.

It’s a chunky beast, weighing 1.4kg, so it’s heavy to lug around. It does come with a nice bike mount though, weighing 110g, which automatically clamps around the lock when it’s inserted, making it easy to take the lock on and off your bike. On the plus side, the folding design makes for a fairly compact package. There’s a rubber cap to the locking mechanism and the locking bars are rubber coated, so the Abus Bordo Alarm shouldn’t scuff up your bike.
