Buyer beware: 6 ways youâre wasting money on tech
If you believe all the ads and hype, life would be difficult without the newest gadgets and gizmos. Buy a new phone and you need a case. Your tablet wouldnât be the same without a keyboard and cover. Might as well get another battery charger while youâre at it. So whatâs legit and worth the money? In this Digital Life Hack, Kim shares six things you really shouldn't waste your money on.
Smartphone deep clean: Step-by-step guide to clean your phone inside and out
One of the best parts of getting a new phone is how fresh, shiny and new it is â inside and out. The screen is scratch-free, your storage is blissfully empty and it runs like a dream. But before long, it loses its luster. Even if your phone is relatively new, it probably still needs a good cleaning. Over just a short period of time, things like cookies, location services and ad networks could start causing problems behind the scenes. They could even pose privacy and security risks.

Protect the digital "you" with Kim's choice for identity protection
Twenty years ago, your identity was made up of your name and social security number. Today, your identity is more complex, made up of hundreds of digital pieces we share online every day. You disclose personal information to enjoy the convenience of a digital life, like with social networking and online shopping. But that's exactly what puts your data at risk of being exposed via breeches, people search sites or digital services. Once this happens, your data goes up for sale on the Dark Web, where criminals purchase it so they can impersonate you and steal your assets.
