The team encompasses representatives from Anatel, the Ministry of Communications, the operators that have won the bids for the 3.5 GHz band lots, as well as broadcasters and satellite operators. After tests were carried out over the weekend, a war room led by the Gaispi team was created on Monday (4) to address potential interference caused by implementing the new technology....

Also: The most important reason you should be using Linux at home Linux can be bent and twisted into just about anything. But Linux is not only more flexible, reliable, and secure than the competition, but it’s also a lot more fun. I’ve spent many a day (and weekend) tweaking the Linux desktop simply because I could. Some of the desktops I’ve configured have been so amazing that friends wanted to know how they could achieve the same look, only to be disappointed that their operating system of choice wasn’t capable of pulling off such a feat....

That’s the word from Ge Wang, associate professor at Stanford, who urges a human-centered design approach to AI applications and systems. In a recent webcast hosted by Stanford HAI (Human-Centered AI), Wang urges AI developers and designers to step back and consider the important role of humans in the loop. “We’re so far away from answers in AI, we don’t yet know most of the questions,” he points out. Many of today’s AI systems are designed around the big red button, he says....

On Wednesday, Zimperium zLabs published a new report on PhoneSpy, spyware developed to infiltrate handsets operating on Google’s Android OS. To date, 23 malicious apps harboring the spyware have been found, but none of the samples were discovered in the official Google Play Store – suggesting that PhoneSpy is being distributed via third-party platforms. Also: How to find and remove spyware from your phone The latest PhoneSpy campaign appears to be focused on South Korea, with the malware bundled into seemingly-benign mobile apps including messaging, yoga instruction, photo collection and browsing utilities, and TV/video streaming software....

In relationships, that is. It’s so much easier to lose your trust in someone than to commit your trust to someone. Worse, when you do finally trust someone, that trust can be threatened in an instant. This leads me to the other sort of security, the one that rarely seems to exist in technology. It also leads me to the tale of a woman who may have had doubts about the man she loved....

On a more serious note, the new Alexa Voice Remote Pro looks great. It has a remote finding feature built-in that allows you to ask Alexa to “find my remote,” which will trigger an audible alert on the remote to help you locate it. While the remote finding feature is handy, it’s probably not something you’re going to use daily. But a bigger quality of life improvement has to be the fact that the buttons on the remote are backlit, so you can see them in the dark and easily know when the remote is upside down, instead of having to figure it out after you hit the wrong button....

The 48-hour shopping extravaganza will run in 15 countries: the US, UK, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey. While exclusive to Prime members, nothing stops you from signing up for a 30-day trial, for example, and then choosing not to continue with the subscription afterward.

The integration will utilize all of Astro’s existing advanced technology such as Intelligent Motion, autonomous patrols, and smart alerts as well as Ring tech such as Ring Alarm and Alarm Pro which will allow it to investigate a scene when a Ring Alarm is triggered. Ring says this product is meant to offer business owners peace of mind when they lock up for the night with one-site night patrol that is less expensive than the human security guard alternative....

The new feature, known as Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, will allow users to encrypt data on Apple’s servers and thus prevent Apple itself from accessing a user’s content. The new content types that support end-to-end encryption (E2EE) include iCloud backups, Notes, and Photos. This approach extends the 14 data categories that by default are protected by E2EE, such as iCloud Keychain, Health data, Messages in iCloud, Maps, and Safari history....

The end of the iPod shouldn’t come as a surprise. The iPod was once a staple of Apple’s product lineup, but in the last decade, the iPhone, iPad and even Apple Watch have all but eliminated the need for the iPod Touch. The small, iPhone-like device could do nearly everything the iPhone does, save for the lack of a cellular modem for constant connectivity. For me, the iPod Touch was a fantastic first device for my kids as they grew up....

Last week, Apple revised its app store policies in an effort to adhere to an Authority for Consumers and Markets’ (ACM) order for the iPhone maker to update its app store policies so dating app providers could use payment systems other than the one offered by Apple. The changes entailed Apple providing an option for dating app providers to use either a third-party payment system within the app or include an in-app link directing users to the developer’s website to complete a purchase....

The 14-inch Asus Chromebook CX9 is one of these, and with a price of £1,099.99 in the UK for a Core i7-based model (FHD, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) it’s at the top end of the Chromebook price range. In the US, the Chromebook CX9 starts at $749.99 for a Core i3 model (FHD, 8GB/128GB), rising to $1,249.99 for a Core i7 system with a 4K screen (16GB/512GB).

Torvalds, who hates public speaking, said that he always does these presentations as interviews because, “I do software. I don’t do public speaking.” The hindrance being, he explained, “I don’t know what people are interested in. So, Dirk asks the questions and, hopefully, if he asks bad questions, it’s not my fault.” Having got that out of the way, the pair talked about the effects that Covid had on kernel development....
