Also: The best Android phones right now When lockdown mode is enabled, fingerprint sensors, facial recognition, and voice recognition do not function. Once you’ve activated lockdown mode, the only way to gain access to your device is either via PIN, Password, or Pattern. This feature was added because biometric authentication can be circumvented. How many times have you seen this scenario on television? A bad actor gets their hands on a victim’s phone and uses their fingerprint or face to unlock their device (sometimes with the victim out cold)....

And when I want to connect to and control one, I typically turn to Microsoft’s Remote Desktop. Now with Windows 11 nestled on a few of my PCs, I need to be able to use the new version of Windows both as a host and as a guest for my remote sessions. If you want to connect to or from a Windows 11 computer as well, here are the steps....

Wrong. Unless you’ve been around the desktop block a few times, you might not be aware that some desktop interfaces are far more efficient than others. And it’s not only about usability, it’s also about making everything work as seamlessly as possible and helping create an environment for the user that is efficient and simple. Linux has that in spades. You’ll find a plethora of different desktops available, some of which will be immediately familiar and simple to use, and others that offer more features and complications....

So we start backtracking, along the way repeating our own double-speak until we get too accustomed to its reverberation. We break left and right, scale up and out, converge and disaggregate. I’m reminded of certain book publishers who have produced editions with “=”" and="" “harnessing”="" in="" their="" titles"=""> – a strategy so successful, it’s been repeated. The case has been made that hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) has become an outmoded category, in an era where containerized, distributed applications are becoming the principal model for new software development....

If you’re of an Apple-leaning persuasion, that is. Apple’s designers and engineers looked at the most ungainly, ugly part of the iPhone screen and turned it into a swan swooping toward you with glorious, effortless elegance. Also: iPhone 14 Pro makes the notch come alive, finally It really was quite something. With characteristic understatement, Apple offered that its iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island is “a shape-shifting, multitasking, head-turning, game-changing iPhone experience....

Tantrums, for example. I never imagined, though, that the above words could ever be related to Microsoft Excel. Other than to wonder who came up with the name and why it was so blessedly unexcellent. Then came Tuesday, a day that will live in my MacBook Air’s memory for a long time. For it was that day that I watched the Financial Modeling World Cup. Imagine beholding the Messis, Biles, Ronaldos and Tatis Jrs....

ZAGG has InvisibleShield protectors for several models of mobile tech, including smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and Nintendo Switch gaming devices.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have used these new phones with both protectors and have enjoyed worry-free interaction with the displays....

iMessage (or Apple Messages, if you prefer the newer, more generic title of the app) supports a selection of six reactions (or Tapbacks) that recipients can apply to any incoming message. They can be seen in the white bubble above and basically amount to love, like, dislike, laughter, emphasis, and uncertainty. Previously, users having a text conversation with an iOS-based contact would receive these message reactions as simple text. Specifically, the heart would appear as “loved,” the thumbs up would be “liked,” the thumbs down would say “disliked,” the “haha” would read “laughed at,” the exclamation marks would show “emphasized”, and the question mark would say “questioned....

Well, I have six words for you: Don’t buy an iPhone in August. The very first iPhone was introduced in 2007. Ever since then, Apple has introduced new iPhones on a yearly cadence. It’s as if it took a page from annual car model introductions. Do you have a 2019 Dodge or a 2020 Dodge? Each car year brings minor improvements and/or some serious redesigns. I used to lease Subaru Foresters for my business, upgrading them every two years....

The draft industry transformation plan (ITP) for the digital technologies sector outlines there are seven key focus areas that need to be targeted. These include developing the country’s digital skills and talent pipeline; increasing the number of New Zealand digital technologies exporters, with a focus on the intellectual property producing models of software-as-a-service (SaaS) and interactive media; and removing barriers to increase Māori participation across all capacities. The plan [PDF] also noted the importance of taking a data-driven approach by adopting technologies such as AI that could have flow-on benefits, such as emissions reduction and greater productivity, as well as taking an ethical approach to AI adoption....

Weeds are a blight to gardens but an even bigger scourge for commercial food production. It’s estimated that weeds cause a 10% loss in crop yields overall, amounting to 200 million tons per year. And, if left uncontrolled, weeds can result in 100% crop loss. Robots can help. “This investment further validates our mission to create tools that utilize technology to address farmers’ toughest problems,” says Paul Mikesell, CEO and founder of Carbon Robotics....
