If you are thinking, ‘How will they know?’, then Netflix is one step ahead of you. The streaming company will use information such as IP addresses, device IDs, and account activity from devices signed into an account to make sure it belongs to the same household....

That’s why, I’m not going to force a 3,000-word essay on you about how well the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Max runs browser tabs, streams Ted Lasso, or even handles benchmarks. If you clicked on this article, then you likely already know how the flagship Apple laptop trounces the above. Instead, I enlisted the help of Tom Filip, a producer and editor for the sports network Overtime, and someone who falls under Apple’s customer checklist for the MacBook Pro....

Thus far in our investigation, we have learned that the Confluence CVE-2021-26084 exploit was used to install what we believe was a Monero miner in the container running the service,” Waite wrote. “From there an attacker would not be able to access much of our other infrastructure....

Despite ongoing supply chain constraints, the hard networking company touted its growth across “all verticals, geographies, and customer solutions.". In fact, fears over global supply chain shortages apparently helped Juniper by driving earlier order placements, resulting in a backlog of $1.8 billion in confirmed orders waiting to be fulfilled. Juniper’s CEO, Rami Rahim, pointed to his company’s “commitment to delivering products that simplify operations and deliver a superior end-user experience” as the motivator behind its ability to “capitalize on several large and growing markets....

The StudioCaddy comes in two parts that magnetically attach to each other. The front section is where you’ll find two Qi charging pads. On the right side, there’s a stand for your phone, with an indicator light just below it.

Martin Schroeter, CEO of Kyndryl, said the company is investing in its partner ecosystem as an independent company. “Kyndryl is matching our deep expertise in mission-critical IT systems with the benefits of Microsoft Cloud,” he said. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the Kyndryl partnership will serve shared customers well....

Design-wise, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 holds no surprises. The black chassis is punctuated by the ThinkPad X1 logo sitting in one corner and the Lenovo marque in the opposite corner. The dot over the ‘i’ of ‘ThinkPad’ illuminates red when the laptop is on, letting you know if you’ve closed the lid but not actually powered the laptop down. Some models have a carbon-fibre weave finish to the lid, giving it a two-tone appearance....

Project Zero looked at fixed bugs that had been reported between January 2019 and December 2021. The researchers found that open-source programmers fixed Linux issues in an average of only 25 days. In addition, Linux’s developers have been improving their speed in patching security holes from 32 days in 2019 to just 15 in 2021. Its competition didn’t do nearly as well. For instance, Apple, 69 days; Google, 44 days; and Mozilla, 46 days....

The third full-sized MX Master was released in September 2019 to almost universally positive reviews. Its better-than-ever ergonomics, intelligent scroll wheel, and rock-solid build quality brought in even more followers than its predecessor. This is why Logitech chose the MX Master 3 as one of the flagship products to launch its collection of “for Business” solutions. The MX Master 3 for Business and all “for Business” offerings support Logitech’s proprietary Bolt receiver, a revamped wireless connection technology that is designed to provide increased security against wireless intrusions and flawless operations in spaces with too much interference for most wireless peripherals to maintain a stable connection....

The scale of the program is being cheered in science communities as a needed boost for the national laboratories. The U.S. DOE announced $1.5 billion for fiscal year 2022 to build and upgrade scientific facilities, modernize infrastructure, and address deferred maintenance projects at its Office of Science-managed national laboratories. The funding comes as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022.

The reason for that rarity is simple. Most wireless earbuds rely on a version of Bluetooth. Bluetooth tends to, well, suck for gaming. It introduces noticeable “latency,” or a delay between the game (or video) and audio. Obviously, in many games, this will get you killed by an enemy you only hear approaching after they’ve already shot you. Some Bluetooth protocols minimize this, but none reliably match the undetectable latency 2....

The rollout comes as part of a partnership between ASM and technology provider PopID, and the plan is to leverage advanced facial verification at locations in stadiums and theaters worldwide. This is in spite of skepticism worldwide that biometric identification, and facial recognition in particular, is being used to power global surveillance. PopID has harnessed the surge of interest in contactless payments during the pandemic to position itself as a leading provider of facial recognition for commerce....

As part of the collaboration, Mastercard said it would work with the DTA to examine a series of private sector-led pilots and the impact its digital verification service could have on retailer and consumer experiences and expectations online. “Australians are increasingly expecting no disruptions between their online and physical lives, and identity is an area that must keep pace with those expectations. Public-private pilots have the potential to make it easier to use these verified identities securely, everywhere they travel,” Mastercard Australasia division president Richard Wormald said....

Both Google and Microsoft presented their new AI-powered chatterboxes and both seemed to make fundamental mistakes. Yes, in the launch presentations. Then Microsoft’s Bing with ChatGPT took on less of a charming personality and more of a sociopathic affect. Also: ChatGPT: What The New York Times and others are getting terribly wrong about it Perhaps, then, AI needs a little more work. Real humans knew this already. When they talk to Alexa or Siri, they may not have been understood....

Fortunately, developers at TikTok parent ByteDance quickly fixed the flaw after Microsoft researchers reported the issue to it in February through its bug bounty program, according to Dimitrios Valsamaras, a researcher with the Microsoft 365 Defender Research Team. The bug has now been assigned the identifier CVE-2022-28799, and while it is fixed, Microsoft is urging all TikTok users on Android to update the app to the latest version. SEE: These are the biggest cybersecurity threats....

The latest Edge beta introduces a new browsing mode in Edge “where the security of your browser takes priority”. For admins who fear web-based attacks on desktop systems via the browser, this feature gives them the option to “mitigate unforeseen active zero days”. Enabling this mode can be configured, so that important sites and line-of-business applications “continue to work as expected,” according to Microsoft’s release notes. The security-focused Edge mode, spotted by Bleeping Computer, brings several Windows exploit mitigation technologies into play, including Hardware-enforced Stack Protection, Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG), and Control Flow Guard (CFG)....

The deal, valued at $68.7 billion, was announced last month by Microsoft. As part of the proposed deal, Microsoft would take in Activision’s 10,000 employees and gain control of the popular gaming franchises Call of Duty, Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, and Hearthstone. If approved, the $68.7 billion deal would become Microsoft’s largest acquisition to date. While both the FTC and Department of Justice both have authority in conducting antitrust enforcement, only the FTC will be involved in this merger review, Bloomberg reported....

OpenAI, he said, represents part of the next wave in computing. “The next big platform wave, as I said, is going to be AI, and we strongly also believe a lot of the enterprise value gets created by just being able to catch these waves and then have those waves impact every part of our tech stack and also create new solutions and new opportunities,” said Nadella. Also: How to get started using ChatGPT To that end, Microsoft “fully expect to, sort of, incorporate AI in every layer of the stack, whether it’s in productivity, whether it’s in our consumer services, and so we’re excited about it....
