One way companies are building resiliency into supply chains is by incorporating automation within facilities to keep pace with growing consumer demand while mitigating the potential impact of external disruptions. How can automation protect against supply chain vulnerabilities? What did we learn from the pandemic, and what are the consequences who didn’t take the lesson to heart? I recently had a chance to connect with Jim Rock, CEO of Seegrid, a developer of mobile robots, and Ian Kinne, Director of Logistics Innovation for Hillwood, a real estate development company building new facilities with automation in mind in response to growing demand....

Intel still plans to begin construction on the project before the year is up, and manufacturing should begin by 2025. However, putting the official groundbreaking on ice lines up with the company’s previous statement that “the scope and pace of Intel’s expansion in Ohio … will depend heavily on funding from the CHIPS Act.” “Unfortunately, CHIPS Act funding has moved more slowly than we expected and we still don’t know when it will get done,” Intel said in a statement to ZDNet on Thursday....

The Internet Archive has collected writings from more than one hundred million people so far. Brewster Kale, the Internet Archive’s founder, says the organization’s goal is to reach one billion individuals. “Now more than ever before, we need your help to continue collecting, preserving, and sharing our digital cultural artifacts,” writes Kale. “We can have platforms and systems that are driven by altruism, not advertising models. We can have a world with many winners, where people participate, learn, and find new communities....

So why does a company that has aspirations to unleash fully self-driving cars on the world not manage to do what most other car manufacturers have been able to do and offer CarPlay and Android Auto? It’s a question pondered in last week’s Power On newsletter by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. It’s especially odd given that, as Gurman points out, “Teslas are the de facto car of Apple’s office parking lots (outside of the executive section)....

One momentary lapse of judgment, one careless moment of instant reaction, and we can descend into a hole from which it’s hard to emerge. A particularly cruel scam involves preying on those – the elderly or those not well versed with officialdom, for example – who are most willing to believe an official-sounding phone call is real. The caller may claim – as did one I received the other day – that they’re from the “Department of Taxes....

The hub, labelled as an anti-scam centre, would look to make existing regulators, law enforcement officers, banks, telcos, and social media platforms all work together under the same umbrella to address scams. “AU$33 billion a year is being lost to criminals … We’ve got to do more. We’ve got to crack down on the illegal activity and we’ve got to do what we can to get the vectors of illegal activity, ensuring that they’re doing their bit as well,” Shadow Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones said....

This release isn’t that big, Torvalds noted, as it only features 11,500 non-merge commits during the merge window, versus 13,500 last time. But he’s been dealing with hardware problems while getting the infrastructure set up for developers to use the Rust programming language for updating the kernel. On top of these hardware glitches, he said he was “somewhat frustrated with various late pull requests.” “I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s really quite annoying to get quite a few pull requests in the last few days of the merge window,” wrote Torvalds in his usual Sunday evening update....

The PineNote is the latest hardware from Pine64, which also recently opened pre-orders of the $399 PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition as a Linux alternative on par with a mid-range Android phone. Via Liliputing, the PineNote began shipping in limited quantities to developers in December but it’s now more widely available for $399. It’s still aimed at developers, but now buyers don’t need an invitation to buy one. SEE: Facebook: Here comes the AI of the Metaverse As with the PinePhone Pro, this grayscale display tablet is aimed at developers because there aren’t many software options available for either of them yet and the tablet still lacks key drivers for hardware features....

The Log4Shell vulnerability came to light in December and sparked concern that it would be exploited by attackers because it was relatively easy to do and because the Java application logging library is embedded in many different services. Microsoft has observed Log4Shell being used by state-sponsored and criminal attacks but early on found it was mostly being used for coin mining and ransomware. It advised customers to “assume broad availability of exploit code and scanning capabilities to be a real and present danger to their environments....

Enter Logitech’s new Blue Sona microphone. This model – designed for streamers, podcasters, and content creators – immediately catches your eye with its unusual, rectangular construction. Inside, it also differentiates itself by including internal shock mounting and a novel capsule orientation designed to reduce unwanted background noise that could annoy your viewers or listeners. In my extensive testing of the Blue Sona, I discovered a microphone that does its job a little differently but just as well as some of the most dominant entrants in the XLR mic arena....

The Lomi composter by Pela Earth represents a real breakthrough in ease-of-use and convenience in indoor home composting, and it solves a big problem when it comes to the inevitable food waste associated with our two little kiddos. What it does still seems like magic to me: With a mix of heat, agitation, and maybe pixie dust (I assume) it turns a bin full of food waste into a small handful of usable dirt in a matter of hours....

Also: The developer role is changing radically, and these figures show how Gartner, for one, says low-code tools will be enterprise-ready within a year’s time (not mentioning no-code in this instance). By then, developers outside of IT departments will account for at least 80% of the user base for low-code tools – up from 60% in 2021, Gartner analyst Mark Driver predicts. The nature of low-code platforms is evolving rapidly, with “hyperautomation functionality” to be featured in low-code tools over the next few years, he adds....

Stop! The problem with deleting apps is that you also delete any data associated with the app. Goodbye, app. Goodbye, data. If you’re deleting an app that you never plan on using again, then deleting that app probably isn’t going to be a problem Also: How to delete apps on iPhone But if there’s a chance that you might go back to the app at some point in the future, deleting the app means that you’ll be starting from scratch with no data....
