As a Delta Platinum Medallion SkyMiles member and journalist, I was one of the first to be able to try this new service. I used it on business flights to and from Seattle as I covered CloudNativeSecurityCon. I found it to be a good deal faster and more reliable than my precious airline Wi-Fi experiences. Also: See the 8 devices I always take on work trips Even though I frequently fly for business, I’ve tended to avoid airline Wi-Fi....
Learning a skill is one thing, learning it from someone with demonstrable, experiential success in that area is another. When I scrolled through the course offerings, I couldn’t help fangirling: “They’re on MasterClass?” It was a learning experience to soak in the prerecorded words of some of my idols and jot down the wisdom they had to share. And it was less distracting than absorbing YouTube videos with tons of ads and recommendations scattered through the platform....
The advisory by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the U.S. Cyber Command Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF), and the United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) says an Iranian government-sponsored advanced hacking operation known as MuddyWater is going after a wide range of targets.

The PC market worldwide had a big year in 2020 as a result of the pandemic and new remote working demands. Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) shipments increased a whopping 44% year-on-year to reach almost 24 million units. But that level of growth was always unlikely to be sustained and has been hampered by semiconductor shortages that have affected the PC market, games, auto industries. This quarter 22 million PCs were shipped to channels....
A cover window is a protective film that is attached on top of folding displays to protect them from external damage. Called Real Folding Glass, the company said the new technology consists of a specially developed material that is coated onto the surface of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, a kind of plastic, to make it “hard as glass” while still remaining flexible. According to LG Chem, the coating material is attached on both sides of the PET film and has a thickness of a few dozen micrometres....
The transition will first be implemented in North America, the company said, with LG’s offices and manufacturing sites in that region to be powered by renewable energy by the end of 2021. LG added that manufacturing facilities outside of South Korea are also on target to convert 50% of their electricity needs to renewable energy by 2025. In explaining how LG would achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050, the company said it has plans to install solar panels on its buildings, utilise power purchase agreements that allow companies to purchase electricity directly from suppliers, utilise renewable energy credit certificates, and participate in South Korea’s Green Premium program....
When you sign up with an internet service provider (ISP), the company will normally provide you with a router. However, they often leave a lot to be desired in terms of performance and connectivity – and so if you’re paying for a top-tier package, you will want a router able to handle traffic, and at speed. Many routers today are built with different uses in mind. For example, some WiFi routers might have dedicated channels for gamers, whereas mesh routers can be extended via ’nodes’ to eradicate dark connectivity spots in your home and cope with large numbers of IoT device connections....
In short, if you’ve got open-source skills, whether you’re a developer, a sysadmin, a DevOps expert, or a cloud-native pro, there’s a good-paying job waiting for you out there. And, where before the Covid-19 pandemic, you might have been stuck with only jobs in your area, these days, thanks to the rise of working from home, you can still live at the old homestead instead of moving to Silicon Valley or Manhattan....
The first problem wasn’t that bad. As Siddhesh Poyarekar, a Red Hat principal software engineer wrote, “In order to mount a minimal attack using this flaw, an attacker needs many pre-requisites to be able to even crash a program using this mq_notify bug.” Still, it needed patching and so it was fixed. Alas, the fix contained an even nastier bug. While checking the patch, Nikita Popov, a member of the CloudLinux TuxCare Team, found the problem....
While I prefer the Gnome-2-based Cinnamon desktop (now up to version 5.04), Mint gives you a choice of fully supported interfaces. These include MATE, a Gnome-2 fork, and the ultra-lightweight Xfce. Most desktop users will be pleased with Cinnamon or MATE. But if you have older low-powered systems or if you’re running Linux on Chromebooks or Windows 10 PCs with Windows SubSystem for Linux (WSL) 2, Xfce is an excellent choice....
The problem is your basic heap overflow hole. Xiaochen explained that “the basic logic of this vulnerability is that the receiving buffer of a user message in esp6 module is an 8-page buffer, but the sender can send a message larger than 8 pages, which clearly creates a buffer overflow.” Yes, yes it will. As buffer overflows always are, this is bad news. As Red Hat puts it in its security advisory on the bug, “This flaw allows a local attacker with a normal user privilege to overwrite kernel heap objects and may cause a local privilege escalation threat....

There’s a growing sense that we’re at a pivot point in this technology’s history, where it will either explode into the “next big thing,” or fizzle into the background, the way VR tech has several times before. So what’s creating this new inflection point? The most obvious culprit is Meta’s Connect 2022 event, it’s expected to see the debut of the latest entry in the most successful consumer-focused line of VR hardware ever, the Meta (formerly Oculus) Quest family....
Nathaniel Gleicher, head of security policy at Meta, said the company will be rolling out Facebook Protect services to more than 50 countries by the end of 2021.
