The bugs were big and obvious and included “Storage almost full,” an inability to unlock with the Apple Watch when wearing a mask, weird camera juddering, and a temperamental swipe to unlock function. Those were a lot of bugs for iPhone owners to get used to, especially users who’d dropped a lot of money on new hardware.

Potential Chinese government influence over the TikTok app has raised privacy concerns among both the public and lawmakers, who have even escalated lawsuits against the short-from video app. The risk of TikTok spying on Americans is high, according to a press release from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), because ByteDance is required by Chinese law to make the app’s data available to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The ANTI-SOCIAL CCP Act (Averting the National Threat of Internet Surveillance, Oppressive Censorship and Influence, and Algorithmic Learning by the Chinese Communist Party Act), introduced by Rubio and Reps....

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist Convertible laptops with twisting screens are not new to Lenovo, and neither are secondary E Ink displays for e-book reading, notifications, and note taking. However, the new ThinkBook Plus Twist is the company’s first device to combine these design elements. The primary display is a 13.3-inch 2.8K OLED touch screen, and a central 360-degree twisting hinge brings a 12-inch color E Ink display to the fore, turning off the now-rear-facing OLED screen by default in order to save battery life....

It can’t come soon enough. Recently, five serious Linux Wi-Fi security holes were uncovered. What did they all have in common? Go ahead, guess? Yes, each and every one was caused by a memory problem because of poorly written C code. I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Also: Even Linus Torvalds sometimes has PC problems That was the bad news. The good news is they’ve all been patched. The first hole was discovered by security researcher Soenke Huster from Germany’s Technical University of Darmstadt....
It’s high time a new long, serious look be taken at just how exclusive open source’s white boys’ club really is. The Linux Foundation is doing that with a new survey: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion in Open Source. The survey takes about 15-minutes to complete. If you complete the survey, you’ll receive a 20% registration discount to attend the Open Source Summit/Embedded Linux Conference in Seattle. The Linux Foundation isn’t doing this study just for its own benefit....
Naturally, it’s only fitting that the mouse that’s most likely to topple the MX Master 3 is an upgraded and modernized MX Master 3S. Logitech has finally lifted the curtain on the 2022 successor – along with the MX Mechanical keyboard, showing off new features like quieter mouse switches and a range of 8,000 DPI. On paper, those are minor upgrades for a four-year-long undertaking. But after testing the $99 MX Master 3S for the past weeks, I think Logitech has crafted a worthy sequel that makes its best mouse even better....
Ransomware is “totally foreseeable and preventable because it’s a known problem”, Falk told a panel discussion at the Australian Strategy Policy Institute (ASPI) on Tuesday. “It’s known that ransomware is out there. And it’s known that, invariably, the cyber criminals get into organisations through stealing credentials that they get on the dark web [or a user] clicking on a link and a vulnerability,” she said. “We’re not talking about some sort of nation-state really funky sort of zero day that’s happening....
McAfee’s Thibault Seret and Northwave’s Noël Keijzer wrote that many core backend systems in companies are running on these *nix operating systems, and Babuk wasted little time in infecting high-profile victims despite numerous problems with the binary. Researchers noted that some ransomware gangs experimented with writing their binaries in the cross-platform language Golang (Go). “It seems that Babuk has adopted live beta testing on its victims when it comes to its Golang binary and decryptor development....
Lyceum, also known as Hexane, Siamesekitten, or Spirlin, has been active since 2017. The advanced persistent threat (APT) group has been linked to campaigns striking Middle Eastern oil and gas companies in the past and now appears to have expanded its focus to include the technology sector. According to a report published on Tuesday by Accenture Cyber Threat Intelligence (ACTI) and Prevailion Adversarial Counterintelligence (PACT), between July and October this year, Lyceum was spotted in attacks against ISPs and telecoms organizations across Israel, Morocco, Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia....
In Q4, the impact of Apple’s iOS changes were “in line with our expectations and similar to Q3 headwinds,” CFO David Wehner said on the call. “We believe the impact of iOS overall as a headwind on our business in 2022 is on the order of $10 billion.

Microsoft is rolling out some other Cortana-branded capabilities on the voice front for Outlook on iOS, as well, starting today. Scheduler got its start as an AI-powered bot called Calendar.help. Microsoft rebranded that technology as a “Scheduler” in 2019. Microsoft’s goal was to release the Scheduler service in 2020, but that date was pushed back due to the pandemic....
