Is there a way to minimize the risk that this will happen again? For starters, realize that you probably have protections under existing laws. For cardholders in the United States, provisions in the Fair Credit Billing Act mean your actual losses are limited to $50, provided you notify the card issuer as soon as you become aware of any theft or unauthorized use.

With the advent of the M1 Mac, which was no longer based on an Intel processor architecture, that advantage went away. For many Mac users, losing the Intel instruction set was a non-issue. But for folks whose work required them to run applications from both environments, an important productivity feature was suddenly removed from the equation. Until now. Sort of. I’ve been running various versions of the Parallels virtualization solution on my Intel Macs since I repurchased my 2013 iMac in the day....

Also: Everything Samsung announced at Unpacked So now, beyond listening to the spatial audio-enabled soundtracks on Spotify and Apple Music, users can listen to and share their own videos in the most immersive way....

Also: Okay, so ChatGPT just debugged my code. For real. I’m preempting this expectation because every time I talk about how to build products, there are a few folks out there who either (a) want me to write them a million dollar app, (b) want me to show them the one class or book that will teach them how to write a million dollar app, (c) share with them the one secret tool or program that millionaire programmers all hide from the regular folk, or (d) introduce them to my programmer buddies, because surely one of them will write a million dollar app for a stranger on spec....

But every once in a while, I have to craft a letter. Usually, I have no problems with that. But sometimes, I have to write something significant and I want to make sure to get it right.

But even the most casual photographer knows that not every moment can be perfectly captured. There’s always someone or something that gets in the frame, or that one person wearing a neon shirt who draws all the attention. Google’s Tensor-powered smartphones, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series, can fix such problems – and it doesn’t involve time traveling. Review: Google’s Pixel 7 Pro zooms past Samsung on this one camera feature Thanks to the company’s custom system on a chip (SoC), Tensor, every Pixel 6 and 7 model has a Magic Eraser feature you can use to magically wipe out any unwanted subjects in an image....

If you’re a MacOS user, you don’t have to toss in a third-party tool for this, because the OS has one built right in. Every time you save a password in MacOS, it is saved, locked behind another password, and still easily accessible to you. What does that mean? First off, it means you can be using very strong passwords, knowing that they are just a few clicks away. And by using the MacOS password suggestion tool, which pops up any time you have to create a new password for a service, you can be sure those passwords can always be very hard to crack....

In fact, most healthcare institutions have completed basic digitalisation and now are entering “the deep-water zone”, according to Xia Zun, Huawei Technologies’ president of global public sector. Technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing have emerged and are integrated with medical engineering to drive innovation in healthcare, said Xia, who was speaking to media on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain....

Somehow these days, the leaks drift out, leaving you to wonder whether some enterprising hacker has obtained them first or whether the company launching the new, new thing believes leaking is the finest path to peaking. And so it was last week that alleged elements of Microsoft’s latest, most exciting operating system, drifted to inviting places like Baidu, Weibo, and Twitter. There was a new start menu, an alluring collection of new wallpapers, and the delicate touch of rounded corners....

Not to mention that some of these tips don’t give you any extra battery life at all in return for your efforts, and some even result in reduced battery life. How ironic is that? I’ve tested literally hundreds of “tips” and “tweaks” that are supposed to give you better battery life, and there’s only four – yes, four – that, in my opinion, are worth bothering with. And they’re simple....

First off, iOS 15.3 contains a bunch of security fixes, so this makes the update a must. The longer you hold off installing it, the longer you leave your iPhone open to vulnerabilities. The other thing that needs saying is that I’ve not come across any show-stopping bugs. Nothing that’s going to brick your iPhone and nothing that’s going to mean you can’t use your iPhone. That said, iOS 15....
