The CDs You Burned Are Going Bad: Here’s What You Need to Do by BENJ EDWARDS

If you used a computer between 1997 and 2005, you probably burned valuable data to at least one recordable CD (CD-R) or DVD-R. Unfortunately, these have a limited lifespan, and many have already become unreadable. That’s why it’s important to back up your recordable discs before it’s too late—here’s how to do it. The Problem: Optical Disc Data Rots CD-Rs and DVD-Rs store data on a layer of dye that is melted by the laser when the data is written. This dye layer isn’t completely stable and can chemically break down over time, causing data loss. Also, the reflective layer on the top of the disc can oxidize, making the data difficult to read. As a result, many CD-R and DVD-Rs burned...

Microsoft won't block customers...

The iPhone 12 vs. the competition: Now with 5G And even prettier colors. by Kris Naudus, @krisnaudus

Early fall always means iPhone announcements, and this year we’re looking at four new models. If you’d prefer something on the larger side check out the iPhone 12 Max and Max Pro, while the iPhone 12 mini will suit those will smaller hands. Right here, however, we’re going to focus on the middle-sibling iPhone 12. It’s far from ordinary thanks to 5G mmWave technology, along with the new A14 Bionic. Of course, it’s competing against rival flagships like Google’s Pixel 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S20, so we’d laid out all their specs for a quick idea of which might offer the most for your money. For a final verdict, however, be sure to check out our full review...
