The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released their new Raspberry Pi 4 line of single board computers (starting with the Model B). They did some not-so-surprising things for the Raspberry Pi 4, Model B — such as replace the standard HDMI ports with micro HDMI ports. However, you now have two HDMI ports at your disposal,…
Considering that modern smart TVs (specifically the variant that allows you to install apps) run operating systems and can execute code downloaded online, there is a considerable risk of malware (virus) infestations. Malware on such devices is often obtained from one of the following three sources: App store. Side-loaded apps. Web browsing (more specifically, visiting…
