The mini-documentary is available exclusively on smart TV devices such as Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV for now, but is slated to come to the desktop at some point. It includes interviews with former Palm executives and Handspring founders Donna Dubinsky, Jeff Hawkins, and Ed Colligan. Springboard forms a third volume in an unplanned trilogy of documentaries about pioneering mobile devices. The highest-profile of these was General Magic, a 2018 exploration of the heralded startup of the same name, that focuses on the company’s vision, luminary-filled staff, and management missteps....

The company has already started delivering food via drone from local restaurant It’s Just Wings. Flytrex said the effort was part of a partnership between Causey Aviation Unmanned, the Federal Aviation Administration, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, The Town of Holly Springs and Kite Realty Group Trust. The drone company said it was delivering food from the town center of Holly Springs to both backyards and front yards in the Forest Springs neighborhood....

That subtlety and the quality of the build owes a lot of its characteristics to the fact that Drop chose to base the board on its proven ENTR model. This all-aluminum body provides a solid foundation for the board, which offered a solid typing experience in my testing. It had little or no unpleasant vibration or key spring whine, and performed reliably, whether laying flat or raised on its foldable feet....

FTP has long been used to exchange files between computers on a network, but it’s burdened by enough security issues that browser makers are dropping support for the protocol because the exchange happens without encrypting data in transit between two points. “The biggest security risk is that FTP transfers data in cleartext, allowing attackers to steal, spoof and even modify the data transmitted,” Mozilla’s security team note. “To date, many malware distribution campaigns launch their attacks by compromising FTP servers and downloading malware on an end user’s device using the FTP protocol....

The sort of terms that come with conditions and make you agree to them. Windows 11 looks more lovely than Windows 10, and, despite some initial rough patches, relative peace has descended upon the Windows firmament. This isn’t enough for Microsoft. It clearly wants you to feel love. Windows, it insists, brings you closer to the things you love. Despite truly trying, I’ve been unable to grasp what this means....

The fix for the app comes after reports that Eufy security cameras were sending captured images of the camera feed and detected faces to AWS cloud servers, even when the cloud storage option on the app’s settings was turned off. The Eufy Security app gives users the option to have push notifications show only text, or text and a thumbnail of the image captured by the camera. These photos are only sent to the cloud when a customer chooses to have the push notifications on their phones display the thumbnail....

“This year we are refocusing F8 on developers,” Zuckerberg said. “Some of the most important services in the world started when someone looked at an existing issue, and just found a better way to build. And I’m optimistic that some of the next generation of services are going to start right here with you.” Facebook said this year’s F8 announcements are focused on technologies that enable developers and businesses to build and grow on Facebook’s platforms....

“Zoho ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus before 11306, ServiceDesk Plus MSP before 10530, and SupportCenter Plus before 11014 are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution. This is related to /RestAPI URLs in a servlet, and ImportTechnicians in the Struts configuration,” CISA and the FBI note about the vulnerability tracked as CVE-2021-44077. CISA and FBI’s alert warns that organizations that didn’t apply Zoho patches for Zoho ServiceDesk Plus versions 11306 and above are vulnerable to attackers who install web shells, which are dangerous because they persist on a system even after applying security updates....

1. Carbon capture, removal, and storage The IPCC’s Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change report noted that continued high rates of emissions mean that excess CO2 removal is now required to reach net zero emissions in the required timeframe. According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, at least 26 commercial-scale carbon capture projects were operating around the world as of 2020, with 21 more in early development and 13 in advanced development....

“I’ve got at least 40 anecdotal issues, but I’d say that there’s least 150 of them that have been debanked over time,” Rebecca Schot-Guppy told the Select Committee on Australia as a Technology and Financial Centre on Wednesday. “I would say at least 100 of them are fintech businesses, given that the highest amount of debanking occurs probably in that payments space … but this is also an issue for our wealth tech businesses....

And they blow away the competition. The M1 Pro brings more performance to the table, while the M1 Max brings even more.

Backing this up is up to 32GB of unified memory with 200GB/s memory bandwidth....

According to a September 2022 report by the World Economic Forum (WEF), more than half of quantum computer companies are currently hiring. This poses a challenge for the industry. Governments and businesses are funnelling tens of billions of dollars into quantum computing, and yet progress in the industry will remain elusive unless the industry can recruit the people to make that happen. One of the issues is that the sector typically requires academic specializations – quantum physics, for example – and PhDs, setting a high barrier to entry straight out of the gate....

Anthony Finn, University of South Australia Professor of Autonomous Systems, says that insect vision systems have been mapped for some time now to improve camera-based detections. But applying the same method to acoustic data represents a major innovation. “Bio-vision processing has been shown to greatly increase the detection range of drones in both visual and infrared data. However, we have now shown we can pick up clear and crisp acoustic signatures of drones, including very small and quiet ones, using an algorithm based on the hover fly’s visual system,” Finn says....

He tells ZDNet how the finance and data giant uses a range of software development techniques – from sharing knowledge to creating ‘guilds’ and onto embracing open source – to meet the needs of its customers in the global financial markets. Bloomberg’s workflows span the gamut of financial services capabilities, from real-time market data and analytics to income, equities, foreign exchange and commodities. “Trying to do all this requires us to be efficient, but also requires us to be lean,” says Wolf....

Samsung’s latest entry is the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, while Google joined in on the fun with the Pixel Buds Pro, and Apple has long had the AirPods Pro. Each pair of wireless earbuds has its own features that sets it apart. For instance, the Buds 2 Pro have a voice detect feature that automatically lowers the volume of what you’re listening to once they detect that you’re talking. After a few seconds of silence from you, the volume reverts back to where it was....

While yes, I wear an Apple Watch on my wrist some days, if Apple’s smartwatch looked this good I would be making sure it’s on my wrist every day. This watch features stainless steel casing and the ability to change your watch band so it will work for any occasion. This watch features an obviously elegant design, and ECG monitoring, auto workout technology, and wellness management are all built into this smartwatch, so it’s hard for other brands to compete....
