Whether you’re a golden retriever fanatic, a pug admirer, or a chihuahua enthusiast, you have to admit that being a dog lover can be a little frustrating at times.

Security researchers at Securify have discovered a vulnerability on Western Digital’s My Cloud NAS boxes which can grant attackers complete control over their contents. The exploit requires either local network or internet access to a My Cloud device in order to be run and bypasses the NAS box’s usual login requirements. Once access has been gained, hackers can view, copy, delete or overwrite any files that are stored on the device. Cutting through the jargon, that essentially means it’s the way

YouTube Gaming was launched in 2015 to give video game enthusiasts a place to watch and engage with game streamers, chat with other gamers, follow game pages and to provide a home from game specific video content. While game-related videos are quite popular on the platform (with over 200 million daily viewers, in fact), the YouTube Gaming app is not. So Google has brought the app’s most important features over to the main YouTube web platform, with plans to permanently close the standalone app f

There’s even more reason to believe the iPad Pro 2018 is launching next month, and that’s one just one of the juicy details being revealed by the iOS 12.1 beta.

When Apple announced that iOS 12 would enable Apple CarPlay to work with third-party navigation apps, including Google Maps, all we could repeatedly ask was ‘Are we there yet?’ Starting today, we are there: you no longer have to rely solely on the often-wayward Apple Maps, as the newly launched iOS 12 update and a fresh Google Maps update bring the directions app to CarPlay-equipped cars. You’ll need to download iOS 12 to your iPhone and go to the App Store in order to update to Google Maps 5.0.

We’ll find out how accurate these leaks are when Google reveals the Pixel 3 phones on October 9. The Pixel 2 started at $649 (£629, AU$1,07

Google may be making its own smart speaker with a seven-inch LCD touchscreen that looks like someone stuck a tablet on a shrunken Google Home Max, according to a new leak today. This backs up all of the rumors of a Google smart speaker-and-display that emerged last month, so today’s leak isn’t a total surprise. This puts it a bit above the basic Google Home price but well below the premium Google Home Max price. The Google Home Hub may only run on Google Assistant, with no other mobile operating
