  Paragon Software releases Hard Disk Manager 16 Preview for free

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 8:24pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  We used to be a huge Paragon Software supporter, met the company a few times in London to discuss strategies, but in the past couple of years it has almost completely disappeared under the radar, despite having a fantastic range of products across its portfolio. Whilst Acronis and our friends at O&O Software have powered forward, Paragon appears to have taken a step back. Whether this is because it is focusing on its core market, Germany, or it moved in to the corporate market, it’s unclear. Either way, we’d still recommend its products and and wrote about the updated Paragon Backup… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft launches new Outlook.com beta -- here's how to try it

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 8:17pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Outlook.com struggles a bit in the shadow of Google’s Gmail. While the latter is incredibly popular, Microsoft’s webmail service fails to attract users in the same way, which is a shame because it has a lot to offer. It might be pulling in more users soon though, as Outlook.com is set to receive a big makeover that, in Microsoft's own words, takes advantage of "recent advances in programming, design, and artificial intelligence." Among the promised changes are improved performance, a smarter inbox, and better personalization. If you want to try it out, you can. This is what you need to… [Continue Reading]

  Most people never change their router's password

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 8:16pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  How often do you change your Wi-Fi password? According to electronics retailer reichelt elektronik, not often enough. Its latest report claims that more than half of users, 55 percent to be exact, never changed it. That leaves them quite vulnerable to cyber-attacks, the report adds. The survey, based on a poll of 1,000 UK adults, says the majority (85 percent) know that they need to protect their Wi-Fi networks with a password. However, once set up, most never change it. Less than a quarter (22 percent) keep it for more than two years at a time. Just 10 percent change their Wi-Fi… [Continue Reading]

  'Censorship is for losers': WikiLeaks offers fired Google engineer a job

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 7:48pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Julian Assange has reached out to James Damore, the software engineer fired by Google for publishing an "anti-diversity manifesto." The WikiLeaks founder used his Twitter account (currently sporting a fake "verified" badge) to offer him a job. Linking to an article entitled "Google Is Not What It Seems" about his book When Google Met Wikileaks, Assange said: "Censorship is for losers. @WikiLeaks is offering a job to fired Google engineer James Damore." As well as the offer of a job for Damore, Assange criticized Google for what he sees as censorship, suggesting that employees should not be fired for "politely… [Continue Reading]

  Intel to launch 8th generation 'Coffee Lake' Core processors on Facebook Live

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 7:46pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  There has been a lot of excitement in the processor market lately, but unfortunately for Intel, it has largely been an AMD affair. Don't misunderstand me; I am not saying Intel has been absent -- quite the contrary. What I mean to say is, as consumers awaited substantial news from Intel, the excitement has been focused on Threadripper. This focus may shift soon, however, as today, Intel announces that its 8th generation Core processors are on the way. In fact, the company plans to officially launch the next-gen chips on August 21 -- the same day as the upcoming solar eclipse. The… [Continue Reading]

  Micron unveils insanely fast 9200 PCIe NVMe SSD series with up to 11TB capacity

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 6:20pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Solid state drives are all the rage nowadays, but as fast as they are, they don't often compare to mechanical hard drives from a capacity standpoint. Heck, my pricey MacBook Pro came with a very fast NVMe drive, but with a mere 256GB of storage. This is quite paltry when cheap laptops using a HDD can often exceed four times that capacity. Of course, there is a big speed tradeoff, making the smaller capacity preferable to some. It stinks that many consumers have to choose between a fast yet small SSD or a slow and roomy HDD. What if consumers didn't… [Continue Reading]

  What problems will GDPR solve?

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 5:40pm CEST par Dr Guy Bunker

  The one-year countdown to the European Union’s most significant cross-border data protection regulation is ticking by swiftly. Coming into enforcement from May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will profoundly alter the way businesses and consumers look at the data they hold. Being informed about why it’s coming into play and what the regulation is solving will help both organizations and individual citizens understand how they should approach data protection, whether this is becoming GDPR compliant or understanding their new data privacy rights. Up until the proposed GDPR, businesses operating in the EU worked under inconsistent data protection… [Continue Reading]

  Bitcoin price goes over $3,500, setting new record

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 4:59pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  After a brief period of instability, Bitcoin is back on the path of setting new price records. The most valuable cryptocurrency broke the $3,500 mark today, rising by over 16 percent since mid-June when its price went past $3,000. Since the beginning of the month, Bitcoin has slowly increased in price, despite the creation of Bitcoin Cash on August 1 as a result of a hard fork on the network, gaining around $600 in value. Bitcoin peaked at $3,525 today, based on CoinDesk's price tracker, but has lost a bit of momentum since. It's now trading for around $3,400 on major exchanges. The price… [Continue Reading]

  Glass Enterprise Edition is super expensive

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 4:35pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  One of the main reasons why Google Glass failed to take off was because of its crazy price tag. It was hard to get consumers to embrace a new type of gadget when it cost $1,500 and offered questionable benefits. The new Glass Enterprise Edition may be after a different crowd, but its price has not changed much. A listing on a partner vendor reveals that business customers can expect to pay €1,550 (about $1,830) for a single device with a bundled app. Due to the benefits that it offers, enterprises may be more willing to spend upwards of $1,000… [Continue Reading]

  Intel's new 'ruler' SSD form factor enables up to 1PB of storage

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 4:33pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Enterprise hardware products aren't the sexiest things around. Most of the time you'll struggle to stay awake reading the announcement. But not this time. Intel's newly unveiled "ruler" form factor for server SSDs is quite intriguing for a change. Intel has moved away from the traditional design that we have come to expect in consumer and enterprise SSDs to a "long, skinny" shape that enables it to push the envelope in terms of storage capacity. Upcoming SSDs, which use its 3D NAND technology, will enable enterprise users to fit up to 1PB of storage in a 1U server. This form… [Continue Reading]

  Toshiba's new SG6 SSD series supports both older and newer PCs

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 3:29pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  It used to be that SSDs, for all the benefits they provided over a hard drive, were hard to justify due to their super high prices and limited storage options. But, nowadays, there's something for everyone in the SSD market, and the selection is frequently getting better. Toshiba's new SG6 series is a good example, being offered in both SATA 3 and M.2 2280 form factors, in three storage options that can make many of us happy, and with transfer speeds that put the vast majority of drives to shame. The SATA 3 SG6 models support SATA Revision 3.3, which… [Continue Reading]

  New solution helps secure privileged accounts

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 3:19pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Privileged accounts allow access to all aspects of a company's IT infrastructure, so if they fall into the wrong hands the consequences can be disastrous. A new hardware appliance solution from identity management specialist One Identity aims to make it easy for businesses to deploy, operate and maintain their privileged password systems. One Identity Safeguard 2.0 includes new features that enable user flexibility and add redundancy while helping secure of today's hybrid infrastructures, including both on-premise and cloud-based applications.

  Canonical needs your help transitioning Ubuntu Linux from Unity to GNOME

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 1:49pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Now is a very exciting time to be an Ubuntu user. The upcoming 17.10 version of the Linux-based operating system -- codenamed "Artful Aardvark" -- is coming in October with a new desktop environment -- GNOME. That's right, Canonical has decided to kill the Unity environment, making the new version something very exciting. While some people will mourn Unity, it is the right move. Being that we are already in August, the clock is starting to tick for Canonical, meaning it really needs to get everything running properly if it wants a smooth user experience with 17.10 in October.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force in May and Google, like other businesses, will need to comply. While Google needs to ensure that its own products and services fulfill legal requirements, the company also points out that "customers and partners have significant obligations under these new laws."

  Does ProtonVPN's free service actually exist?

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 12:33pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Two months ago, ProtonMail announced it was opening up its free VPN service to anyone who wanted to use it. There were some restrictions to be aware of, including limiting the number of countries you can pretend to be based in to just three, and throttling the speeds. It also only allows you to run it on one device. If you require more options, and a faster, more configurable service, you can sign up to a paid plan. That all seems fair enough. The problem with ProtonVPN’s free service is, well, it doesn’t seem to exist. If you sign up for… [Continue Reading]

  New independent organization launches to promote data sanitization

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 12:15pm CEST par Ian Barker

  With security breaches and theft of sensitive data on the increase, enterprises are searching for ways of keeping their information secure. One technique that can be used is data sanitization but it's still relatively unknown and often misunderstood within the technology and IT security industry. To try to change this a new independent network, known as the International Data Sanitization Consortium (IDSC), is launching to champion and promote data sanitization best practices. The IDSC's mission is to eliminate ambiguity around data sanitization, including terminology, standards and guidelines. A recent survey of IT professionals worldwide found that 64 percent failed to… [Continue Reading]

  Hackers leak Game of Thrones S07E05 script summary and make ransom demand

  The impact of the recent HBO hack continues to be felt. We've already seen scripts and spoilers leak online and now there's a new cache of leaks along with a ransom demand from those responsible. The data dump includes details of the script for episode five of the current season, and a video directed at HBO CEO Richard Plepler in which the unknown hackers -- who sign off as "Mr. Smith" -- give the company three days to pay up a ransom in Bitcoin.

  Email marketing has always been something of a hit and miss affair, you're sending messages off knowing that many of them will simply disappear into the black hole of the internet. A new study by marketing platform GetResponse looks to shed some light on the most effective strategies to get your emails read by analyzing almost two billion messages.

Yet most companies are sending their messages on Wednesday. Messages sent between 9am and 11am, and between 3pm and… [Continue Reading]

  Sundar Pichai writes note to employees saying anti-diversity memo violated Google's code of conduct

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 11:02am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The fallout from James Damore's anti diversity memo has been swift and wide-reaching. The senior software engineer was dramatically fired after expressing views which ran counter to Google's drive for diversity in the workplace. Company CEO Sundar Pichai responded to the memo in an internally-circulated note to staff which was then also shared publicly. In it, he acknowledged the furor surrounding the memo and said that "portions of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace."

  Facebook uses neural networks to translate posts

  Publié: août 8, 2017, 2:34am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Facebook has revealed it is harnessing the power of AI to support its growth across the world. The social media giant, which has over two billion users worldwide, is now using neural networks for to automatically translate content in foreign markets. In a blog post detailing the switch, Facebook says it went from using phrase-based machine translation model to neural networks, and so far has seen an 11 percent increase in the accuracy of machine translation. The biggest disadvantage of a phrase-based model was that it broke down sentences into individual words or phrases. When translating them, the system could only consider a couple… [Continue Reading]
