How and where to replace your old, depleted iPhone battery
If that is happening to you, there are several solutions: you can switch over to the latest iPhone, start carrying a battery charger around with you, or — simply replace the battery. To first identify whether your battery is ready for a change, you can check to see what the current health of your battery is by going to “Settings” > “Battery” > “Battery Health.” This is where you can find out your battery’s current maximum capacity. If you’ve decided to replace the battery, you have two choices: doing it yourself or hiring someone else — like Apple — to do it. Some vendors on Amazon even sell iPhone battery replacement kits for this very purpose, which can run around $25 or so. If your iPhone is under warranty or you have AppleCare+ and Apple deems the battery defective, repairs are free.

Treasury to issue new cryptocurrency sanctions after ransomware attacks
According to the Journal, the Treasury Department plans to impose these new sanctions as soon as next week. The department will also issue new guidance for businesses regarding the risks they take on by complying with ransomware payment requests. The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Verge. These proposed measures would be the Biden administration’s most significant move to address the wave of ransomware attacks that have only grown in scale and frequency over the last year. The Biden administration is expected to issue new anti-money laundering and terror finance rules later this year to restrict the use of cryptocurrency for payments in ransomware attacks.

Dell Latitude 9420 review: pricey performance
The Latitude 9420 replaces last year’s Latitude 9410, and the two products look pretty darn similar with a thin, light, CNC-aluminum build. For a more modern comparison, both the XPS 13 and the XPS 13 2-in-1 (both with a Core i7-1165G7) took over 10 minutes to complete the task. The Latitude scored a 261, which also beats the most recent XPS 13 and the XPS 13 2-in-1. The 9420 is a solid ThinkPad competitor, and easily one of the best business convertibles you can buy. If you are in that group, the Latitude 9420 is a solid package that asks very few compromises.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 leaks, borrows heavily from iPad design
TL;DR Samsung is working on its next budget Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab A8. Renders show a rear camera bump that resembles the 2021 iPad mini. New renders purport to show the look of the upcoming Galaxy Tab A8 2021, which for better or worse may even more closely resemble the Apple iPad than Samsung’s other recent Android tablets. That’s because of its rear camera bump, which has switched from a square shape on the Galaxy Tab A7 to a round one, similar to the 2021 iPad mini. It’s also said to have an 8MP rear camera, USB-C and 3.5mm audio ports, and quad internal speakers with Dolby Atmos.

MICAH RICHARDS: Mohamed Salah is capable of Messi-like moments
Where would Liverpool be without Mo Salah? Had Salah spent the time on the sidelines that van Dijk did last season, Liverpool would not have hosted AC Milan on Wednesday. Mo used to really look after himself; you see this amazing physique that he's got now but the thing that sticks in my mind was how well he used to eat. Without Mo, Liverpool aren't in the title race this season. Liverpool were made for Mo and Mo was made for Liverpool.

The iPhone’s notch: should it stay or should it go?
When it comes to unlocking a phone, Face ID just works, and it works well. And choosing between a small notch with less functionality and a marginally larger one with more, Face ID is an easy choice. But even if they were, there’s a lot more to Face ID than just a couple of fancy IR blasters. So do you agree that speed matters more than the fact that Face ID uses your face? But even if it does, it’s hard for me to imagine the company backtracking from Face ID at this point.

Nancy Pelosi warns Britain over Northern Ireland Protocol breakdown
Nancy Pelosi, America's third most powerful politician, warned today that a breakdown in the talks over the Northern Ireland Protocol would be 'problematic' for a post-Brexit UK-US trade deal. The UK wants to rewrite the protocol, which avoids a hard border with Ireland by effectively keeping Northern Ireland in the European Union's single market for goods. What is the Northern Ireland Protocol and why is the US so involved? The Northern Ireland Protocol aims to keep an open border between Northern Ireland and EU member state Ireland, a key plank of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement that brought an end to decades of violence. The Northern Ireland Protocol aims to keep the province in both the UK's customs territory and the EU's single market.
