Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.So you've bought yourself a laptop, and you've even found a WiFi hotspot that doesn't cost the Earth. But you also need to ensure your precious machine doesn't get grabbed by a passing baddie. Obviously, a two-metre-long 4mm-thick cable lock is the thing to have. What we like about Trust's version is that rather than having a key, it uses a four-number combination lock. Why? Because keys can get lost, but you'll always remember a number - try using your bank PIN.

Now while it's true that a baddie with enough time will be able to work through all 10,000 combinations, on average they'll have to try 5,000, and that should be more than enough time for you to get a latte from the coffee counter and return. At £29.99, hard to beat.
