Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull on LBC to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. This week; A major security flaw has been discovered in PHP, a language used by a massive number of websites, by using AI to check for flaws, causing the administrators to take many down until the vulnerability can be addressed. How can users protect their personal information online and ensure they don't get hacked?
Gadget of the Week goes to;
Yubico's YubiKey range of USB dongles. These pop into your device's USB port to offer a hardware based second factor authentication, meaning others cannot get into your online accounts so easily as they need the physical dongle. An excellent addition to your online security armour.

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Clive Bull on LBC to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. This week; The new Apple iPhone Duo, their first foldable iPhone, is now available for pre-order. With a 5.4" screen when closed and a 7.8" screen when opened it makes it capable of displaying maps, ebook and other apps more clearly, but is it really worth the much higher price than other iPhones in their range, or from other manufacturers? With the cost of tech increasing due to the rise in memory prices, is rent to own going to replace buying outright? If you can't afford one of the new iPhones where should you look for a cheaper alternative?
