  Google Assistant's rollout to Marshmallow and Nougat begins today, and it comes to updated Allo too

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 7:33pm CET par Mark Wilson

  Just a few days ago, Google announced that Google Assistant was going to spread to Marshmallow and Nougat smartphones. The wait is already over, as the company has made a follow up announcement in the form of a YouTube video indicating that the rollout starts today. Google previously told us that Google Assistant will first make its way to the US, followed by Australia, Canada, the UK, and then Germany. The assistant's growing repertoire of talents will soon be little more than a long-press of the home button away. As Google Assistant is integrated into Google Play Services, there's no… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 usage on Steam falls again for the second month in a row

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 6:57pm CET par Wayne Williams

  Yesterday, I reported on how Windows 10 usage had fallen in February according to the latest figures from NetMarketShare. Today, Steam releases its hardware survey for February, and that shows that Windows 10 usage has fallen on the gaming platform too, and not for the first time. Usage in January was also down from the month before. Is it the start of a downward trend? SEE ALSO: Bad news for Microsoft as Windows 10 loses market share -- again Windows 10’s share on Steam peaked at 50.35 percent in December, but then slipped 0.68 percentage points in January to 49.67… [Continue Reading]

  FriendlyElec releases Ubuntu Linux-ready NanoPi M1 Plus -- a $30 Raspberry Pi killer

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 6:42pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  The Raspberry Pi line of mini computers -- including the all-new Pi Zero W -- are wonderful devices for what they are. Quite frankly, they have inspired many young people to learn about programming, while helping makers to create some really cool projects. With that said, the Pi computers are not the only System on a Chip solutions on the market. Actually, there are more powerful ARM-based offerings available. The problem? They are often radically more expensive than Raspberry Pi. However, there is a new Raspberry Pi competitor that is quite affordable. In fact, some folks may view it as a Pi-killer.… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 3:58pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

The Wake on LAN support can be leveraged through device management tools like System Center Configuration Manager, and is available for the Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book, paired with any of the aforementioned accessories. The Wake on LAN support is part of Surface Tools for IT, a bundle which includes "all the right tools" that… [Continue Reading]

  Hidden backdoor discovered in Chinese IoT devices

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 3:27pm CET par Ian Barker

  Researchers at Trustwave have uncovered a backdoor in IoT devices from a Chinese manufacturer that could leave them open to exploitation. The backdoor is present in almost all devices produced by VoIP specialist DBLTek, and appears to have been purposely built in for use by the vendor. It uses a simple challenge and response mechanism to allow remote access. However, Trustwave's investigation has shown this scheme to be fundamentally flawed in that it is not necessary for a remote user to possess knowledge of any secret or password, besides the challenge itself and knowledge of the protocol/computation used. The issue… [Continue Reading]

  Why are enterprises embracing DevOps?

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 3:25pm CET par Mike Griffiths

  DevOps is seeing a mainstream push right now. More organizations have started to embrace DevOps practices across IT operations, services and app delivery, seeking to transform their business. DevOps has traditionally been the domain of early IT adopters. However, as previously held assumptions are dispelled -- from security through to benefits -- we’re seeing more risk-averse companies recognizing the need to shift their thinking. So, why are more organizations coming round to the critical opportunity that DevOps can bring into their business? The DevOps Start Line DevOps is a mindset, rather than a set of tools or techniques. Specifically, that… [Continue Reading]

  Mobile app use could boost charity giving

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 1:29pm CET par Ian Barker

  We're all spending more and more via mobile apps, and giving to charity could be the next area to benefit from the shift to mobile payments. A new study carried out by social payment app Moneymailme finds that 72 percent of 18-25 year-olds would give to charity via a mobile app if given the chance. 48 percent of this generation believe physical money will be obsolete within 20 years so the ability to donate via apps will become key. The survey of 1,000 18-25 year-olds in the UK finds that 74 percent of young people give to charitable causes. This… [Continue Reading]

  Companies need to work together to combat malvertising

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 12:24pm CET par Ian Barker

  Advertising agencies, search engines and cybersecurity specialists should work collectively to tackle the security threat from rising malvertising. According to Ben Williams, head of operations and communications at Adblock Plus unless this happens more users will be exposed to potential security compromises such as malware and phishing, and this will drive further adoption of adblockers as a solution to these threats. A study from digital threat management firm Risk IQ shows total malvertising rose at a startling 132 percent between 2015 and 2016. Among the most notorious ads in the previous year were fake software at 70 percent, scams at 845 percent,… [Continue Reading]

  Wox is a versatile launcher for Windows

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 12:10pm CET par Mike Williams

  Wox is a versatile Alfred-like launcher which supports file and web searching, and can be extended with more than 100 plugins. Activate the program by pressing Alt+Space and a simple command bar appears. Start typing a program,  file name or something else, Wox displays matches and you choose whatever you need. One initial problem is that Wox needs the freeware Everything to run file searches, but this isn’t included with the package. Install Everything (32-bit) and file searching should begin working immediately. Once you’re up and running, enter a name or command to see what happens. We typed "Control Panel"… [Continue Reading]

  Marissa Mayer misses out on Yahoo bonus as true scale of forged cookies security breach is revealed

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 10:35am CET par Mark Wilson

  Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is not going to receive her annual bonus this year as the company punishes her for failing to react quickly enough to a security breach in 2014. Her bonus is to be shared between staff instead. The security breach, followed by another in 2016 involving the use of forged cookies, meant Yahoo's sale to Verizon had to be renegotiated, slashing millions of dollars from the price. The company has revealed that around 32 million user accounts were accessed using forged cookies, and while this is nothing like the 500 million accounts affected by the 2014 breach,… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft renames Windows Holographic to Windows Mixed Reality as dev kits start to ship

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 10:21am CET par Mark Wilson

  It seems like a little while since we heard anything about Windows Holographic, and that's not something that's going to change any time soon. Microsoft is not killing off the project (and HoloLens lives on), but has revealed that it is now going under a new, more descriptive name: Windows Mixed Reality. The company says that the change of name is a reflection of the fact that there is a broader vision for the platform. It also helps to convey the idea of virtual-reality-meets-augmented-reality that Windows Holographic/Windows Mixed Reality represents. Microsoft also says that the Acer Windows Mixed Reality Development… [Continue Reading]

  Google increases Gmail attachment limit to 50MB for recipients

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 10:18am CET par Mark Wilson

  Over the years, as the number of megapixels boasted by cameras spirals upwards, file sizes have generally increased. Despite this, many email providers still place a strangely low limit on the size of files that can be sent and received as attachments. With Gmail you can now receive attachments up to 50MB in size. It's important to note that the new attachment limit only applies to incoming email. Google would much rather you make use of Google Drive if you want to send large files to people. When it comes to sending files, you are limited to attaching up to… [Continue Reading]

  Google Chrome users on Apple macOS get enhanced Safe Browsing protection

  Publié: mars 2, 2017, 2:50am CET par Brian Fagioli

  Thanks to its Unix foundation, macOS is a rock-solid desktop operating system. While it is not infallible, there are far fewer malware threats for Apple's OS compared to, say, Windows 10. With that said, Microsoft's desktop offering is more targeted due to its monstrous market share. As more and more consumers buy Mac computers, evildoers will have increased incentive to write malware for macOS. Luckily, users of Apple's operating system that choose to use Google Chrome for web surfing will soon be safer. You see, the search giant is improving its Safe Browsing initiative to better warn macOS users of malicious websites and… [Continue Reading]
