In-Vest in Some Security

By Stefan Doyno Published July 14, 2014

A few years back I opted for an enhanced New York State license, which allowed me to travel to neighboring countries without a passport. This awesome addition was the envy of many of my friends. It also came with a strange metallic envelope, which I rarely used and then eventually lost. Well it turns out that that annoying little envelope was supposed to protect my ID from RFID (Radio Frequency Identification readers). Well that’s just great. But now there is a solution for me – and all the semi-paranoid techies out there. An RFID Blocking Vest by SCOTTeVEST.

SCOTTeVEST has been developing tech-enabled clothing since 2000, and is well known for their many, many pocketed vests, (over ten million pockets sold!) but this new collection of products are intended to protect customers from people using technology to exploit weaknesses in cell phones, credit cards and passports.

This vest is the company’s number one selling travel vest. It has 26 pockets for all your necessities (passports, documents, water, enhanced ID envelope) and it will protect you valuables from high tech skimmers that can steal your personal information and identity. Obviously (and most importantly) – it looks good. The vest also comes in a variety of colors.

Radio-Frequency Identification security has become a growing concern in our world today because we store so much informational on all of our smart devices – so this vest might be something worth considering.

If RFID is something that concerns you – or you’re just in the mood for a cool vest, make sure to check out the collection here.

The first trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer proves that no franchise is truly dead

Almost 30 years after the original, we're following a new group of hunted teens.

Jennifer Love Hewitt in I Know What You Did Last Summer

If you were one of those people who was wondering when we might get a third I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, then you're in luck. The first trailer for the new film is here, and it features Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising their roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson from the first two films in the franchise.

The film, which is somewhat confusingly called I Know What You Did Last Summer, was directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and will serve as a direct sequel to the original 1997 film. In that film, a group of friends are hunted by a killer with a hooked hand one year after they killed someone in a hit-and-run accident.

Max is following Netflix’s lead and cracking down on password sharing

The move will generate some additional revenue for Warner Bros. Discovery

If you've been sharing your Max account with someone else, Max is trying to make your life harder. Variety is reporting that Max just added an Extra Member Add-On feature in the U.S., priced at $7.99/month. This lets the primary account holder share their account with someone outside of their household. These additional members will be able to create a separate account that is linked to the primary subscriber.

Warner Bros. Discovery had previously said that they plan to notify users about new restrictions on sharing accounts outside of their primary household. This move by Max follows similar efforts by Netflix and Disney+, and are obviously designed to generate additional revenue from users who are currently sharing accounts across households.

Everything we know about the four Beatles biopics

Get ready for Beatlemania

The Beatles sitting together

As if there aren't enough musical biopics that have been released in the last decade, director Sam Mendes is adding a quartet of Beatles movies to his filmography. A unique set of films that connect into one greater whole, the upcoming Beatles biopics have to be watched together to get a full appreciation of the band's story. Much like Marvel fans who watch all of the superhero movies to get the best experience out of the story, this set of films will work the same way. Whether making an expanded Beatles universe of films is a good idea or not remains to be seen.

Each film will give equal screentime to Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr. They will come out around the same time to encourage fans to see all of them. This is made possible by a simultaneous filming schedule in which all four movies will be produced alongside each other. The estimated release date is sometime in April 2028, according to Gold Radio. Sony hasn't decided yet whether all four movies will come out on the same day or whether there will be slight differences in release, whether that be one a week, etc. We have everything you need to know about the four Beatles movies right here, from the actors in the films to each Beatle's importance today.
