Here at groovyPost we like keeping our data safe. From basic methods of protection, like a password, key, or a hidden directory, to heavy encryption methods and professional solutions to keep our data away from the wrong hands. Today we’ll review an incredibly easy to use encryption software, called BoxCryptor. Note from groovinJackman: This groovyReview has been in our hopper for some time, but I thought I’d push it up in the queue in light of the recent major Dropbox security SNAFU, where accounts were left wide open for as long as four hours due to an authentication bug....

Lenovo’s Yoga 3 Pro convertible laptop–which uses the same Broadwell Core M processor as Apple’s new ultraportable MacBook–has provided the first look at its likely performance. AnandTech‘s numbers show that in overall performance terms, the Yoga 3 Pro was delivering a little over 90% of the performance of the early 2014 MacBook Air which has far fewer pixels than the Retina MacBook… There are a large number of variables beyond the CPU itself that can impact on benchmark scores, so the score should be viewed as a ballpark rather than an exact measure, but it does reinforce my view that this is a machine for the typical base-level MacBook Air customer....

iPad sales have been declining for so long now that it was almost a jolt to finally see some good news for the tablet in Apple’s numbers. In the past quarter, iPad sales were not only up, but by a substantial margin: up 15% year-on-year. The stock market sent Apple shares soaring to new highs based at least partly on the news. The company doesn’t provide any breakdown of models, but as analysts have noted, there was rather a large clue …...

Disney+ made a name for itself as a video streaming platform in 2019 and increasing in popularity in the following year. From Disney, Pixar, to even Marvel, everyone is filling up Disney+ with their content. But how do you access a Disney+ account if you are facing issues whenever you try to log in. Since it is new, it is not as bug-free as the other streaming platforms, and here in this article, we will see how we can fix it....

The characters on Beverly Hills, 90210 spend their time in sunny California falling in love, having complicated friendships, and planning for the future. No matter what’s happening in their lives, they can always rely on each other as they’re all kind people who want to do their best for each other. But since there’s such a large cast of characters on this popular teen drama, which aired for ten seasons from 1990 until 2000, it makes sense that some are a lot smarter than others....

Batman was absent throughout the events of Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), despite the film being set in Gotham city; this absence prompts viewers to wonder: where is the city’s famed caped crusader? The latest Warner Bros.’ DC film showed the battle between Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Ewan McGregor’s Roman Sionis/Black Mask, which took place all throughout Gotham. Considering that it’s his city, it’s curious why Bruce Wayne was missing in action during this whole debacle....

Over its 6 seasons, Netflix’s unparalleled animated series BoJack Horseman tackles some seriously heady topics, including addiction, mental health struggles, misogyny, and rampant consumerism. The unique world established in the show, where anthropomorphized animals and humans coexist, is focused around the lives of different television and movie figures in Hollywood. The title character is an over-the-hill former sitcom star who spends his life in a perpetual state of intoxication. The actors who voice the various characters in BoJack Horseman are among the most talented and acclaimed in the industry today....

Fans of the hit TV drama Breaking Bad got to relive some of the show’s epic, enthralling moments with the recent release of El Camino: A Breaking Bad story on Netflix. The film somewhat plays out like a huge, action-filled episode of the show, which follows our downtrodden protagonist, Jesse Pinkman, in the aftermath of Walt’s drug empire collapsing and the defeat of Jack’s gang. One of the neatest aspects of the film, aside from the exciting action and terrific performances, is the handful of cameos throughout....

Bring a little bit of nostalgia to your wrist today with the new Apple Watch game, A Tiny Game of Pong. Based on the 1970’s classic game, A Tiny Game of Pong lets players compete to beat the computer or against friends through Game Center leaderboard integrations. But how do you fit Pong on a tiny display? The game makes use of the Apple Watch’s Digital Crown to move the player’s paddle left and right across the screen....

Here we will guide on how to bypass the FRP lock or remove Google account on Honor 8X. FRP, popularly known as Factory Reset Protection program, is an additional data protection feature for all Android users. It was first introduced in Android 5.1 Lollipop. Let’s say, you forgot Google Account ID/ password (Gmail), or you have purchased a second-hand phone either online or via some third-party source. When you perform factory data reset on your Huawei Honor 8X, you will be greeted with the message “This device was reset, to continue to sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device”, meaning that the phone is useless unless they bypass the Google account....

The hook-handed slasher known as Candyman is one of horror’s most fearsome villains, but his origin story reveals a tragic path to legendary status. Based on the Clive Barker story The Forbidden, the first Candyman film released in 1992, garnering critical praise. Candyman wasn’t a massive box office hit, but it did fine, and quickly developed a loyal following. Many regard Candyman, directed by Bernard Rose, as one of the best horror movies of the 1990s, so its no real wonder that it received two sequels in that same decade....

Here let us have a look at some programming languages that you might want to learn in 2022 if you have not already.

This is especially true for photographers and videographers and drone pilots, people who might have their equipment out in the field, exposed to dust, water, and bad weather. One wrong move and irreplaceable footage can be gone – forever. These are the sorts of people who need rugged hard drives and SSDs. How were these products chosen? As a part time pro/am photographer, videographer, and drone pilot, I’m someone who has had to keep my data safe in conditions that really wanted me to lose my data – high winds, blasting rainstorms, thunder and lightning, or sand everywhere, I have – up to the time of writing – never lost any footage....

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) writer Christina Hodson says the movie is more of a standalone film that continues Harley Quinn’s story than a sequel to Suicide Squad. It was in the 2016 movie that Margot Robbie made her debut as the popular DC character Harley Quinn. Suicide Squad was a box office hit, but the reactions to the movie itself were certainly mixed....

The Black Widow has donned a number of costumes since the character first debuted back Tales of Suspense #52 in 1964 by Stan Lee, Don Rico and Don Heck. She was originally introduced as “the gorgeous new menace,” and slowly became a fan-favorite character who joined The Avengers. In the most recent issue of The Avengers by Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness, Natasha Romanoff is given another new look in what might be her best costume yet....

In a report published this morning, Mark Gurman at Bloomberg says that customers should expect stricter privacy controls, updates to iPad multitasking aimed at attracting advanced users, and new notification modes. The incoming iOS notification banner is said to be redesigned, with more of a focus on auto-reply actions. There will also be interface updates for Apple TV and Apple Watch. Bloomberg had previously said that the iPadOS 15 update will allow users to place home screen widgets anywhere, like the iOS 14 iPhone behavior …...

The creator of BoJack Horseman has revealed that the choice to end the show was far from his own. Set in a world where anthropomorphic animals live alongside humans, the animated series debuted in August 2014. As such, it was one of the very first Netflix Originals, alongside such live-action shows as House of Cards. Expectations were admittedly low when the show premiered. However, it managed to achieve positive reviews and a passionate following....

Seven years after the last proper Borderlands adventure, this latest entry in the saga proves Gearbox is as committed to FPS action as RPG mechanics. Back in 2009, Gearbox first unleashed Borderlands upon an unsuspecting public. An unprecedented mix of Diablo-style RPG progression, frantic co-op FPS action, and a cel-shaded art style best described as “Mad Max as a Saturday morning cartoon on LSD.” The game was a critical and commercial success, and expansions, sequels, and spinoffs turned the scrappy genre mashup into one of 2K Games most venerated franchises....

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie will play in theaters for one weekend in October. After being off the air for more than five years, the Breaking Bad story is set to continue with a feature film following Jesse Pinkman after the events of the series finale.
