What happened
ZDNet published a roundup of consumer tech coverage including PC memory/virtual RAM guidance, hardware reviews (MacBook Air M5, Raspberry Pi price spike, monitors, TVs, Bluetooth trackers), software/distros (Prism Linux, Project NOMAD), and practical how-tos (Android cache clearing, router antenna positioning). Notable security/privacy items: an FTC report about a $220M surge in job fraud with advice to vet listings, guidance on stopping smart-TV tracking beyond disabling ACR, a PrivacyBee data-removal service review as an Incogni alternative, and notes on using Google Meet with CarPlay safely
