Intel adds a website to its new ‘PC vs Mac’ ad campaign
In January of this year, Intel announced that its CEO at the time, Bob Swan, would be stepping down. The company was on shaky ground, for a variety of reasons, and a shakeup at the top was seen as a way to get things back on a right path. That probably hasn't happened quite yet, but that isn't stopping the company from leaning into some anti-Apple marketing.
New report says macOS malware development surged in 2020, but still pales in comparison to Windows
It's always been a point of pride for some Mac users out there that worrying about potential malware threats isn't as big of a concern as it is while using Windows. And, despite the fact that a new report says threats are growing for Apple's computers, that talking point still seems to stand true.

AltStore and AltServer updated to v1.4.4 with iOS 14-centric bug fixes
Jailbreak apps such as Chimera, Odyssey, and unc0ver can be installed a bevy of different ways. Perhaps one of the most popular methods involves a software utility combination for macOS and Windows-based computers known as AltStore and AltServer. The latter runs as a process on the computer, facilitating the installation of the former alongside side-loadable apps on an iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 12.2 or later.
Both AltStore and AltServer occasionally receive updates with improvements and/or new features for users, and just this evening, the software duo were updated to version 1.4.4.

Xenon makes it easy to browse your jailbroken iPhone’s file system from your computer
One of the things you can do with a jailbroken iPhone or iPad is access the handset’s root file system. With that in mind, having an easy means of doing so can be an incredibly valuable capability, especially if you have any interest in changing or modifying system files with custom ones to change the device’s functionality or software-esque appearance.
SendToDesktop enables SSH-based file transfers between jailbroken iPhones and computers
One of the small things I appreciate the most about being a Mac user is that I can easily AirDrop files from my iPhone to my computer and vice versa in some instances. Unfortunately, this process isn’t so cut and dry if you’re a Linux or Windows user, as both of these operating systems lack AirDrop support.
For the reason mentioned above, I would highly recommend a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called SendToDesktop by iOS developer Sudhip for both Linux and Windows users, as it can make sharing files from your iPhone or iPad to your personal computer a breeze.
