Arguably the biggest misunderstanding in all of tech by users, since inception it has been one of the most confused concepts in tech. A few years ago smartphone brands started offering what is called water resistance in their latest flagship smartphone models with Apple and Samsung leading the way. While it was a long overdue and arguably the most welcome upgrade it's safe to say a lot of consumers did not fully understand the tech hence the confusion between water resistant and waterproof, indulge me for a second as we do a deep dive. Companies have failed to properly cover this distinction leaving everything to interpretation from consumers. It is completely understandable why so many of us confidently take our phones to the pool for underwater photos or set them on the edge of the bathtub.

It seems like a long time ago, a tech event was hosted by minister of ICT in Harare which was centered around cyber crimes where monetization on digital platforms was brought up prompting citizens to think that revelations or rather more fittingly confessions made at the event gave the government new ideas about lost revenue in untaxed sectors. These mainly touched content creators, forex traders and more but there was another sector affected that is less known by the majority of people considering its a concept understood by very few people, that is crypto currency. Crypto currency has gained momentum and is slowly being accepted as form of payment all over the world, which makes sense government was to get in on that action too but it is easier said than done because crypto uses a de-centralized system as opposed to traditional systems, there is not middle men, no oversight and mostly harder to trace so how will the government regulate this market. Let's find out.

Lately social media has been flooded with Stoneridge demolitions, leaving families without homes with some having lived there for years without having a problem. While this has been in the spotlight, the reality of the matter is that this is not new, demolitions and re-possessions have been happening for some time now. We may dwell on who to blame from people being deceived by land developers to political influence but that won't address the issue or help. Our sympathy goes to those losing homes, and we appeal the governement to take a more lenient approach when dealing with this situation. Now to those thinking of buying and owning land for any purpose, this guide is for you, this guide explains step-by-step how to buy land the right way to avoid problems like eviction or demolition.

So you are looking to buy a product then you go into town to look and compare prices, well for instance a viral post i recently came across on social media of a MacBook that was costing $499 on Apple's website but here, that very same MacBook book was being sold at $1 000 which caused uproar and a debate about the unrealstic markups retailers put on products, that's a over a 100% markup by the way. Well I know most of you are going to say well there is a lot of taxes and duties paid but to chare double? Don't even come with rent or council license defense because the owners of the brand also had manufacturing costs (more on that later) We have seen this blueprint with Starlink kits and those who purrchased kits straight from Starlink know that to get your kit you just had to pay $23 more but the markups we are seeing from the retail market are just insane. Let's dive deep and shed some light on how e-commerce works and how to order products.

Meta quietly removed end-to-end encryption from Instagram direct messages, a move that affects billions of users, reverses years of privacy promises, and raises urgent questions about who really owns your conversations. There was no announcement, no banner inside the app, no email to your inbox. On Thursday, May 8, 2026, Meta simply updated a help page on Instagram's website with a quiet notice: "End-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram is no longer supported as of 8 May 2026." Just like that, a layer of protection that shielded your private conversations from everyone including Meta itself was gone. Essentially, from May 8 onward Instagram DMs will behave like most other social chat platforms: messages transit through Meta’s servers unencrypted, giving Meta and, by extension, law enforcement or other agencies, the ability to read them if needed.

In April, popular cloud hosting platform Vercel disclosed a security breach stemming from a compromised third-party AI tool called Context.ai. Attackers exploited a stolen OAuth token from Context.ai to take over a Vercel employee’s Google Workspace account. This granted the hacker access to Vercel’s internal systems and allowed them to enumerate “non-sensitive” environment variables (plain-text secrets) belonging to a limited set of customer projects. While Vercel’s encrypted secrets and core services (including Next.js, Turbopack, and its npm packages) were unaffected, exposed API keys and credentials forced affected customers to urgently rotate secrets and bolster security. The incident highlights the growing risk of supply-chain attacks via OAuth integrations: an attacker breached a small AI vendor, then “walked in” to hundreds of downstream targets by abusing broad permissions.

It's 2026 and it's the same old story, cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, and one of the biggest risks facing organizations and individuals today is the exploitation of unpatched software vulnerabilities. Recent reports indicate that hackers are actively abusing newly disclosed Windows security flaws to gain unauthorized access to organizations, highlighting once again how quickly attackers move when weaknesses become public. The incident has raised concerns across the technology world, especially because the vulnerabilities reportedly affect systems tied to Microsoft Windows and Windows Defender. For businesses, institutions, and everyday users, it is another reminder that delaying updates can create serious security consequences.

In an era where seeing is no longer believing, deepfakes have emerged as one of the most disruptive technologies of the digital age. From viral videos to financial scams, artificial intelligence (AI) is now capable of creating hyper-realistic media that can deceive even the most careful observer. Among the many tips circulating online to detect these fakes, one method has gone viral: the “3 finger test.” But how reliable is it really? Let's first explore what deepfakes are, how they work, and whether simple tricks like the three finger test can truly distinguish what is real and what is fake.

A few months the country woke up to shocking news of proposed changes to the Zimbabwean constitution that would drastically change a lot of things, including taking away the power of people to vote for the President, extending term limits and a whole lot more. This bill proposes significant changes to how the country is governed especially how leaders are chosen, how long they stay in power, and how key institutions operate. Because these changes affect every citizen, it’s important to understand them in simple terms, this is not the time to stand by and do nothing and to be clear this should go to a referendum so that everyone has a say. So let’s dive in.

For a fact i know most users really don't read terms and conditions of services and systems they use, which sometimes leads to massive legal battles and people losing cases simply because they didn't the terms of use. Today we gonna discuss something equivalent, which people accepet without really knowing what it is and how it works. If you’ve spent any time online, you’ve probably seen those pop-ups asking you to “accept cookies.” Most people click “Accept” and move on without a second thought. But behind that simple button is something that plays a big role in how the internet works.So let’s slow it down a bit and talk about what cookies actually are, how they work, and what you, as a user, should genuinely care about.

If one thing has defined Zimbabwe, it's that people can start churches anywhere and no longer go to designated areas which has led to the emerging of churches in residential areas and some even contact evening services which is not a bad thing but a rather uncomfortable thing for those who live closeby and don't go to the same church. In a move to try and reduce noise and congestion in residential places, Government has ordered all churches operating in residential areas to install soundproofing and has imposed an immediate ban on the establishment of new fuel service stations in housing zones as part of a nationwide crackdown on urban disturbances.The Government has ordered all churches operating in residential areas to install soundproofing and has imposed an immediate ban on the establishment of new fuel service stations in housing zones as part of a nationwide crackdown on urban disturbances.
