When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. This is where the magic happens. The Full Nerd podcast has been running for over a decade here at PCWorld, and this month marks a big shift for the show as we transition from broadcasting in the studio to doing it all online. Our own Adam Patrick Murray has left California and decamped to North Carolina, so getting him back in the studio every week would get expensive fast. We just don't have that kind of budget for plane tickets, so instead we're doing what most podcast crews do these days and switching to a fully remote arrangement.

Discord's age verification is less terrible than I expected Back in February, Discord first attempted to launch its age verification process--only to run straight into massive user outcry. In response, the company went back to the drawing board. Now, half a year later, the branding of teen and adult accounts has finally rolled out.

But I've avidly followed the news that ShinyHunters, a prolific hacking group, allegedly broke into the FBI's personnel records. The high profile nature of this hack makes me wonder how well the agency's employees will weather any data theft--and what lessons we ordinary folk can take away from such a situation. Our employee records hold sensitive data, starting with our physical address, birth date, and social security number.
