The county exec, who helped launch the federal investigation by meeting with FBI Director Kash Patel on Long Island in early April, declined...

This I.E. audit implies that Prop 47 is better than it really is, where we have capable and proactive local law enforcement in these counties. Yet the proposition is still an abject failure. The proof lies in simply walking the aisles of your nearby WalMart...

With more than a third of North American homes protected by a video doorbell or some other Wi-Fi-dependent device, it’s reasonable to worry about the growing threat of Wi-Fi jammers.
