Also: How to transfer photos from your iPhone to your Windows PC Android users have the ability to do much more than that, and have been able to send and receive messages for quite awhile.

There are a few gotchas, however....
Dark mode lightens the burden on my eyes, kind of like a dark room is better for a headache. Though there is no conclusive evidence on whether it’s actually better for your eyes, I find using dark mode decreases eye strain and can also extend your battery life. How to make Mac dark mode Step 1: Go to System Preferences From the Apple menu at the top left of your screen on your Mac, select System Preferences....
Fortunately, Finder has a handy trick up its sleeve by way of tags. Tags allow you to not only tag files with categories but also make it possible for you to gain quick access to the tags you use the most. I’m going to show you how to use the tag feature in Finder. I’ll be demonstrating with macOS Monterey, but you should be able to make use of the feature even in earlier incarnations of macOS....
The report – covering the first half of 2021 – is compiled by HP security analysts based on customers who opt to share their threat alerts with the company. HP’s researchers found that there has been a 65% rise in the use of hacking tools downloaded from underground forums and filesharing websites from H2 2020 to H1 2021. Some of the tools are able to solve CAPTCHA challenges using computer vision techniques....

As time went on, we moved into a new home and the smart lighting world continued to innovate. Hue and other early smart bulbs required hubs. Later, vendors like Govee introduced smart lights that connect to your Wi-Fi router. Now, Hue offers a mix of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and hub support, with more advanced features reserved for the hub. But our secret has been to ignore most apps and rely almost entirely on Alexa for smart home control....
Under the terms of the agreement, IonQ and Hyundai will jointly explore “new variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithms to study lithium compounds and their chemical reactions involved in battery chemistry.” This research will simulate the chemical reactions that are expected to occur within proposed battery designs to help the companies rapidly iterate without having to build physical prototypes of proposed designs. The duo believes their efforts will lead to the discovery of new varieties of source material capable of providing improvements for the time, cost, and labor currently involved in existing battery manufacturing practices....
It had been a stalwart. It looked retro-timeless. If I could have hugged it, I would have. But it died. Then we looked around and realized that the hood above the cooktop hadn’t worked for more years than I’ll admit here. I said years, didn’t I? That’s given you a clue about our lives. I’m sorry about that. “We need to get some new appliances,” said my wife, who (in case you didn’t know) is a scientist....
Replacing Bryant is Michelle Johnston Holthaus, who is currently the general manager of Intel sales, marketing, and communications, and was previously sales chief of the client computing group. Holthaus will “transition” into the role over coming months as the company looks to fill the sales role. “Michelle’s track record of success driving global sales and revenue for the last five years, combined with her profound understanding of the client computing business and trusted relationships across the entire industry, make her a natural choice to lead our largest business,” Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said....
After relaunching in March 2021, today IOTA is releasing a beta version of its smart contracts implementation, with a few notable features such as zero fees, Ethereum interoperability and compatibility. Smart contracts are programs stored on a blockchain that run when predetermined conditions are met. You can think of them as code with crypto guarantees and security, and they power some of blockchain’s most advanced functionality, such as DAOs and DeFi....
In a blog post, the company said that CVE-2021-42392 should not be as widespread as Log4Shell, even though it is a critical issue with a similar root cause. JFrog explained that the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) is an API that provides naming and directory functionality for Java applications. H2 is a widely-used open-source Java SQL database used for various projects ranging from web platforms like Spring Boot to IoT platforms like ThingWorks....

Prices start at $289.99/£275.99 (inc. VAT) for a drive with 480GB of storage capacity, while the 960GB model costs $359.99/£338.39 and the top-end 1.92TB model costs $509.99/£482.39. That’s considerably more expensive than a conventional SSD, although the IronKey is FIPS 197-certified, and provides XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption using a secure microprocessor that is Common Criteria EAL5+ certified. Some drives that offer encryption require you to create and enter passwords using software that runs on the host PC, but the Vault Privacy 80’s security features are entirely hardware based, and are controlled via a small touch-sensitive LCD display that’s built into the drive itself....
This isn’t the first time LastPass has had security problems. In 2021, it appeared that some users’ LastPass Master Passwords may have been revealed. LastPass replied that it hadn’t been breached, but users who had gotten emails warning them that an unknown person was trying to log into their accounts weren’t convinced. Nevertheless, LastPass insisted that it was just the result of a credential stuffing attack. Also: Want to ditch LastPass?...

A few days ago, Penguin Random House, the publisher ofMaus, Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust, demanded that the Internet Archive remove the book from our lending library. Why? Because, in their words, “consumer interest in ‘Maus’ has soared” as the result of a Tennessee school board’s decision to ban teaching the book. By its own admission, to maximize profits, a Goliath of the publishing industry is forbidding our non-profit library from lending a banned book to our patrons: a real live digital book-burning....
Why? Well, why do you think? 486s are old. Very, very old. Intel discontinued the 386 chip family in 2007. True, some people, like yours truly, and Linux kernel developer Maciej W. Rozycki, still have 486 boxes running. But I’m the kind of person who still keeps a KayPro II alive with its Z80 processor from 1982. And Rozycki gave his last summary of this and other antique hardware the subject line, “Old platforms: Bring out your dead....
In a world where Android and cloud infrastructure defines technology, new Linux kernel versions are important events. That update happened on Sunday, when Torvalds announced the release of Linux kernel 5.17 – but only after last-minute fixes, including a delay required to address a new version of a security flaw. SEE: Automation could make 12 million jobs redundant. Here’s who’s most at risk Linux 5.17 progress was slowed by a week because the team had to deal with patches for another variation on the Spectre attacks, which added to the workload....
And I was perfectly okay with that. It also didn’t take me much time to realize I couldn’t tolerate the Windows operating system. This occurred before my studying C++, so my approach to the open source operating system was very much from a user’s perspective. The thing was, back when I owned that Pentium 75 computer, I installed Linux over Windows. Also: How to choose the right Linux desktop distribution Once that happened, I realized I had no choice but to learn how to use Linux....
