Basically, edge picks up where there are gaps in cloud computing and packs in a lot of extra functionality. Though it has had a loosely coordinated edge strategy for a few years, Dell Technologies today clarified this part of its massive overall business by previewing a new development called Project Frontier, which will result in a stand-alone edge operations software and hardware platform sometime next year. Frontier will help users better manage, secure, and orchestrate edge applications and infrastructure for deployments at global scale, company founder and CEO Michael Dell told analysts and reporters at a Dell Technologies press event....

The findings were released as part of the non-profit, non-governmental organisation’s (NGO) annual Freedom on the Net 2021report [PDF], which found that 48 out of 70 countries covered in the report – which account for 88% of the world’s internet users – have pursued new rules for tech companies on content, data, or competition over the past year. “While some moves reflected legitimate attempts to mitigate online harms, rein in misuse of data, or end manipulative market practices, many new laws imposed excessively broad censorship and data-collection requirements on the private sector,” the report said....

The extent of this demand is reflected in a booming tech jobs market. According to CompTIA’s June 2021 European Tech Hiring Trends report, employers posted just shy of 900,000 ads for new tech roles in Q1 2021, representing a 40% increase compared to the third quarter of 2021. Software developers were listed as the most in-demand occupation category, accounting for almost 250,000 job ads posted in the quarter. Developers wanted The call for developers has been consistent throughout the pandemic, and is likely to present one of the biggest recruitment challenges for employers over the coming months....

A research team at Payless Power ranked around 50 popular websites based on environmental impact. How much CO2 does a single site visit represent, anyway? Are any of these websites using servers and infrastructure that run on sustainable energy, and how does that change the equation? The findings represent an interesting bit of consumer consciousness raising. While consumers may not outright avoid, say, a major e-commerce platform because of the footprint of its digital storefront, it’s a welcome reminder that small choices consumers make, from the brands they support to things like packaging and delivery times and methods, add up....

According to a release from the DOJ, a San Diego federal grand jury returned the indictment of all four in May and it was unsealed on Friday. The indictment says Ding Xiaoyang, Cheng Qingmin and Zhu Yunmin were members of the Hainan State Security Department working covertly within a front company called Hainan Xiandun Technology Development Co., Ltd. The goal of the operation, according to the Justice Department, was to steal information from companies that would help enterprises in China....

What happens when organizations who play to win for a living unite to conquer a common competitor: COVID-19? Salesforce, Karen Mangia and I hosted senior leaders from five Boston professional sports teams to discover how they’re adapting their playbooks to succeed at the future of engagement and experience built on a scalable enterprise architecture. In addition to the panel, I had the opportunity to have fireside chat with Rob Hale, CEO of Granite Telecommunications and an owner of the Boston Celtics and the Boston Cannons, about life, leadership and business lessons that matter most in today’s times of uncertainty and disruption....

The monitor extender provides two 12" Full HD (1920x1080) IPS displays. The refresh rate is allowable at 60Hz, which is suitable for work, email, and most daily tasks – but wouldn’t be suitable for fast-paced gaming. The monitors connect via either USB or HDMI ports and stay in place with a back support framework connecting to your laptop. Read on: Meet espresso Display V2, the world’s thinnest portable monitor You can choose to mirror or extend your laptop’s display and most 13" to 16" laptops (both Windows and Mac) are compatible with a 210-degree viewing angle....

Just because it’s a fountain of beneficence, not because it has too much stuff in stock. So you’re unreasonably excited to see whether you can buy something you don’t really need for less than when you still didn’t really need it. I’d like you, therefore, to consider your options. Well, no, I wouldn’t, but eBay would. I did, too, until I saw this wonderful attempt by eBay to attract your attention....

Read what she has to say. Its interesting, important and…right. All yours, Celia! I’m a fan of detective shows. And I’ve enjoyed a lot of them – Broadchurch, Homeland, True Detective, even Veronica Mars, to name a few. I’ve spent many hours watching how characters from these series go to great lengths to pursue the truth; often using somewhat unconventional methods to uncover it. Today, in our post-pandemic customer engagement landscape, I’d argue a similar approach must be taken – a relentless search for the truth that involves going beyond the realms of our normal investigative techniques to press past the limits of our current understanding....

Zhang stole the trade secrets while preparing to work for Chinese electric vehicle startup Xiaopeng Motors, also known as XPeng. The FBI arrested Zhang at San Jose airport, California, on 7 July, while he was en route to China. Zhang was hired by Apple in 2015 where he would eventually work on hardware for Apple’s secretive autonomous vehicle project. SEE: Apple told staff to return to the office. Its timing couldn’t be worse According to CNBC, Apple suspected Zhang of stealing trade secrets after he took paternity leave and traveled to China with his family....

I’ve previously covered the difficult road FTX had ahead of it when it initially announced that it was founding a division focused entirely on offering a “blockchain-as-a-service” solution to companies across the video game industry. Just how it planned to make its entry successfully became a bit clearer when I later spoke with FTX Gaming Lead Amy Wu on the topic. Now, it’s become clear that this is a task FTX believes can best be accomplished with a little help from its friends....

Facebook sees the metaverse as the next frontier of web development that it believes will bring virtual reality and augmented reality to the masses. At a time when hybrid work is expected to become the norm and when tech giants are facing scrutiny from regulators over competition and privacy, Facebook is betting its European recruitment drive will help it develop a ‘responsible’ metaverse. SEE: Even computer experts think ending human oversight of AI is a very bad idea “The metaverse has the potential to help unlock access to new creative, social and economic opportunities....

A couple of Saturdays ago, the famed food show presenter and general apogee of erudition, was not in a good mood. I know this because he tweeted: “I love how @fedex can send you a notice saying they attempted delivery at the exact time you were actually standing at the door waiting for the delivery.” I felt at one with Brown’s plight because, at that very moment, the same thing was happening to me....

While Frontier is best known for its rural DSL internet service, the company has been expanding its fiber network. Frontier’s 2 Gbps service will be available to approximately 4 million customers in 19 states as part of its launch. This 2 Gbps service is symmetrical; this means you’ll get 2 Gbps speeds both up and down. So, what kind of speed does that give you in real-world terms? Well, you can download Fortnite, which comes in at 10GBs, in about two minutes....

Facebook has faced significant backlash this week after they closed the researchers’ accounts working for the Ad Observatory project, which let Facebook users download a browser plugin that allowed the researchers to see what kind of ads show up on someone’s page. Facebook product management director Mike Clark defended the decision to shutter the project, writing that it was in violation of the website’s Terms of Service and a privacy program demanded by a recent FTC order....
