  Build 2017: Ubuntu, Fedora, and SUSE Linux distributions coming to the Windows Store

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 8:22pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When Microsoft brought Ubuntu to Windows 10, it was monumental. No, Microsoft wasn't abandoning its own operating system for Linux, but the company was showing developers that it was open-minded towards such things. Today, Microsoft is taking its embrace of Linux a step further. With Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the company is delivering versions of three popular Linux distributions to its Windows Store. Yes, folks, Linux on Microsoft's app store -- shocking! For now, it will be limited to Fedora, Ubuntu, and SUSE.

  One in four European businesses don't know GDPR is coming

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 7:23pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Every fourth European company has no idea GDPR is coming its way. Consequently, they don’t know about the dangers and the draconic fines that follow those that don’t comply with the upcoming regulation. This is according to a new report by IDC Research, based on a poll of 700 European companies. More than half (52 percent) don’t know what the impact on their organization is. Even among those that were aware of GDPR, the findings aren’t what they should be. Every fifth company (20 percent) still hasn’t started preparing for the GDPR, even though it’s just a year away. Almost… [Continue Reading]

  Hell freezes over: iTunes is coming to the Windows Store

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 7:03pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Yes, you did read that correctly. Today at Build Microsoft announces that iTunes is going to appear in the Windows Store by the end of the year. Apple and Microsoft playing ball together like this is a pretty rare occurrence. With the recently announced Windows 10 S, the timing is interesting, and in embracing the iPhone, Microsoft is sending out yet another message that Windows Phone is dead -- it's iPhone and Android smartphones that matter. Microsoft has not given away a great deal of detail about the appearance of iTunes, but we do know that the app will be… [Continue Reading]

  Build 2017: Microsoft bringing mixed reality to all with new affordable headsets and motion controllers

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 6:34pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Microsoft has been working on its vision of mixed reality for a while. It first showed off its HoloLens headset two years ago, and then debuted a developer edition last August, but sales weren’t great, not least because it came with a $3,000 price tag. Microsoft said at the time that the best, and cheapest, HoloLens VR headsets would not be made by itself, but by third-party hardware developers, and today at Build it announced the first of these headsets, as well as Windows mixed reality motion controllers -- no markers required. If you’ve been excited to try Microsoft's implementation… [Continue Reading]

  HP audio driver package comes with a built-in keylogger

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 6:19pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  ModZero security researchers have uncovered an unexpected behavior in an HP audio driver. The package, which is offered by the electronics maker through its website, secretly registers "all keyboard input," effectively working as a keylogger. Question is, is this a bug or a feature? It is not abnormal for an audio driver to look for when certain keys are pressed, as, for instance, if you press the volume down button on the keyboard the driver needs to intercept that keystroke so it does what you asked it to, but it is uncommon for one to cast such a wide net, and,… [Continue Reading]

  BBC to clamp down on licence fee avoidance by requiring password for iPlayer

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 6:18pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Within the next few weeks the BBC is planning to introduce password protection to iPlayer. The system is intended to prevent people from using the streaming TV catch-up service without paying a licence fee. The corporation says that it does not plan to introduce "mass surveillance techniques or ask internet providers for IP addresses," but is merely interested in ensuring people comply with the law. The system should also help the BBC to reduce the number of people from outside the UK using iPlayer for free. Starting today, iPlayer viewers will see a message informing them that a password will… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 5:31pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Windows 10 is an absolute success -- it can not be disputed any longer. After all, the operating system is running on over 500 million active devices! Think about that, folks. A half billion devices running an OS in under two years. The latest version of Windows 10 in particular -- the Creators Update -- has proven to be very refined and chock full of useful features. Today, Microsoft announces that is is taking "creation" a step further with the next version of Windows 10. This time, it is called the "Fall Creators Update." Why is it called this?

  Samsung's new 5,100mAh external battery is crazy expensive

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 4:55pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Value can sometimes be hard to determine, but not when it comes to basic items. Take external batteries for example. You can get a large pack from a renowned brand for around $20. That's a reasonable price. So when a company asks more than twice as much for something that has half the capacity you have to wonder what exactly are you paying for. Case in point: Samsung unveiled a 5,100mAh external battery that costs a whopping $59.99. A quick look on Amazon will reveal packs with a similar capacity for less than $20. So, basically, the South Korean maker is… [Continue Reading]

  Atheist group claims Facebook keeps deleting its page

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 4:53pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  An atheist Facebook page with more than 1.6 million fans is being repeatedly deleted by the social network, claims the group behind it. Atheist Republic says that a coordinated campaign has resulted in the page being removed at least three times. It is thought that Facebook’s automated removal process may be to blame, with algorithms taking the page offline after a series of reports. The page is used to actively criticize religion, and it is believed that an orchestrated fightback from religious groups is leading to its repeated automatic removal. Facebook's algorithms work in such a way that when a… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 4:29pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  We first learned of Microsoft's plans to bring Visual Studio to the Mac last year in November, but it is not until Build 2017 that the software giant announced the general availability of the much-awaited version of its IDE. That's right macOS users, Visual Studio 2017 for Mac is finally here.

  Come on, people. We’re almost halfway through 2017, and you’re still opening shady email attachments? Glasswall Solutions seems to think so. As a matter of fact, its new report says UK workers are "too trusting" of email attachments. More than half, 58 percent, "blindly" open email attachments from unknown sources. Three quarters, 75 percent, recognize how often they get shady emails. Just 16 percent thinks they should be worried about a cyber-attack. More than two thirds (69 percent) fear data theft, while 41 percent are afraid of losing a network, or a system. Only a quarter (24 percent) is afraid of… [Continue Reading]

  British voters concerned about the impact of fake news on elections

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 3:12pm CEST par Ian Barker

  With the UK's general election campaign now in full swing, a new study of 2,000 adults finds that 68 percent are concerned that fake news could influence the outcome. In addition, 26 percent are not confident in their ability to identify a fake story and a further 39 percent were unsure if they had ever seen one. This makes Facebook’s decision to publish tips on spotting fake news timely. The research by comparison site BroadbandGenie along with polling company OnePoll shows respondents believe the Conservatives would benefit the most from fake news, whilst Labour would be most negatively affected.

  You’ve downloaded an ISO recovery disc, maybe used it to create a bootable USB key -- but does it work?

  Newsletter bombs are the new DDoS

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 12:03pm CEST par Ian Barker

  So called 'newsletter bombs' are increasingly being sent to the publicly known email addresses of journalists, companies, and also dot-gov email addresses. These attacks send thousands of fake newsletter sign-up emails to targeted email addresses rendering the attacked mailbox useless. According to German secure email service Tutanota, which had its own main contact address targeted, these attacks are easy to execute because most newsletter sign-up forms have no protection against malicious bot sign-ups. "Being a secure email service, the irony of not being able to use our main mailbox was particularly depressing", says Matthias Pfau, co-founder and developer of Tutanota.… [Continue Reading]

  Digital transformation is powerful, but also dangerous

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 11:03am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  More than two thirds of network managers in the UK consider the digital strategy an important part in tackling competition. However, almost half (49 percent) look at legacy technologies as something that’s holding them back in this endeavor. This is according to a new report by Axians UK, released earlier today. Digital transformation is serious business. It’s essential to delivering a satisfying customer experience, yet if done poorly, could force companies into administration. As digital strategy becomes a priority for more businesses, network changes that are necessary to sustain secure and agile businesses are being missed, the report states.

  StarTech releases four new USB-C hubs with power delivery for Windows, Mac, and Linux

  Publié: mai 11, 2017, 12:59am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While USB-C is certainly the future, there is one big issue with the connection type -- we live in the present. In other words, yeah, having Type-C connections on a computer is great for future-proofing, but most consumer devices still use the Type-A connector. If you buy a computer that only has USB-C, such as the newest MacBook Pro, you are going to need dongles for your existing peripherals and accessories. Luckily, there is no shortage of dongles and adapters on the market nowadays. If you spend some money, you can get something that will meet your needs. Today, StarTech… [Continue Reading]
