  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 9:45pm CEST par Michael Moore

At the company’s GTC Europe conference in Munich this week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the new Drive PX Pegasus system -- the company’s most advanced offering, and the world’s first AI computer dedicated to powering such vehicles.

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 8:42pm CEST par Michael Moore

At Nvidia’s GTC Europe event in Munich this week, the world’s largest logistics company today announced a partnership with Nvidia’s Drive AI technology in its autonomous delivery vehicles. DHL says that it is not looking to replace its delivery drivers with the technology, but instead is aiming for improvements in efficiency and "streamlining the last mile."

  The Pirate Bay is back running a cryptocurrency miner, with no way of opting out

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 8:35pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Last month, we revealed how popular torrent site The Pirate Bay was secretly running a Javascript cryptocurrency miner from Coinhive in the background, increasing the CPU usage of visitors. The miner uses processing power from users’ systems to generate Monero coins for the site it’s on, and The Pirate Bay said it was testing it as a way of generating alterative revenue. Despite the inevitable outcry the initial test produced, The Pirate Bay has once again begun using cryptocurrency miners, although this time around it has throttled the mining slightly, presumably to make it less obvious to users. The miner… [Continue Reading]

  PC market declines further

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 5:44pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  It is no secret that the PC market is struggling. Even though there are some encouraging signs, like upgrades to Windows 10 on the business side, it is becoming harder and harder for manufacturers to attract buyers -- even in the back-to-school season. Gartner, which just released its report on PC shipments in the third quarter of 2017, says that "traditional promotions," like back-to-school sales, are "no longer an effective growth driver," which is why this back-to-school sales season has been "very weak." The report says that the market declined by 3.6 percent year-over-year, as a result. "While there were… [Continue Reading]

  Some Google Home Minis found to be secretly recording everything they hear

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 5:21pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  With the Google Home Mini, the search giant was hoping to get its smart speaker into more homes than ever before. But the latest privacy revelation about the device means that people may think twice about buying one. Artem Russakovskii from Android Police was the first to -- publicly -- talk about the issue. He noticed that his Google Home Mini was active and recording sound throughout the day, not only when he uttered the "OK, Google" keyword. Google says that the privacy violation is down to a bug. Russakovskii gives a detailed chronology of his discovery over on Android… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 4:40pm CEST par Ian Barker

  We all know that ransomware is a big problem, but a new report from cyber security company Carbon Black reveals that it's increasingly big business too. According to the report, there are currently more than 6,300 dark web marketplaces selling ransomware, with over 45,000 product listings.

  The future of tape storage

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 4:39pm CEST par Brian Grainger

  The story of tape goes back to the very first computers, the original mainframes from the 50s and 60s. These early computers made use of magnetic tape drives with a capacity of 1-2 MB and transferred data at less than 10 KB per second. Current LTO tape drives can store up to 6 TB (that’s approximately 1,500 movies or 1,200,000 songs) at speeds of 300 MB per second. Amid a flurry of new trends, technologies and buzzwords in the storage industry, this article revisits tape and its current role. What is tape and how does it work? Where does it… [Continue Reading]

  The 10 phishing subject lines you're most likely to click

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 3:37pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Phishing is still a key tool for cyber criminals as they seek to insert malware onto machines and to get hold of personal details. Although most people are aware of the threat there are still some subject lines that are much more likely to deliver results for the phishermen than others, according to security awareness training specialist KnowBe4, which has released its Top 10 Global Phishing Email Subject Lines report for the third quarter of 2017. The company looked at tens of thousands of email subject lines used in simulated phishing tests to uncover just what makes a user want… [Continue Reading]

  Endpoint data is increasingly critical for organizations

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 2:59pm CEST par Ian Barker

  In a world where more systems are in the cloud or virtual environments, you’d expect the importance of endpoint data to decline, but a survey conducted at this year’s VMworld US suggests this is not the case. The survey by data security and recovery company Code42 reveals that 42 percent of organizations are storing between 50 and 100 percent of their data on endpoints. In the higher education sector it's noticeably higher, with 81 percent storing half or more of their data on endpoints. The majority of companies (65 percent) are using their endpoint data for tasks beyond just backup,… [Continue Reading]

  AOMEI PE Builder Free 2.0 released, now supports Windows XP through to Windows 10

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 2:45pm CEST par Nick Peers

  Three years ago, AOMEI unveiled the first version of PE Builder. We were thrilled, because it provided a simple -- yet flexible -- way of creating the Windows equivalent of a "live" Linux CD, whereby you can run a graphically friendly operating system direct from CD/DVD or USB flash drive. After a few updates, the software appeared to have died -- with only support for Windows 7 and 8. Imagine our delight, then, when we were informed that AOMEI PE Builder 2.0 had been released. Version 2.0’s headline new feature is -- of course -- updated compatibility. Now it’s possible… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 1:12pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Chief finance officers are becoming more confident about the use of the cloud to store their company's data according to a new survey. The study from cloud performance management company Adaptive Insights finds that just three years ago only 33 percent of CFOs trusted the cloud for their financial data, but today 73 percent do so. "The cloud enables a level of data access that Finance teams need in order to meet the demand for accurate, real-time information from across the enterprise," says Robert S Hull, founder and chairman at Adaptive Insights.

  Twitter not only changes its mind about 'inflammatory' ad, it's going to change its policies too

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 11:16am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Twitter was accused of censorship after banning an "inflammatory" ad campaign by Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn. But just one day after implementing the ban, the company has backed down, saying the video -- which sees Blackburn talking about fighting to stop "the sale of baby body parts" -- can be promoted on Twitter. Despite maintaining its belief that the video contains inflammatory language, Twitter now says that it is permissible within the context of the ad. Furthermore, the company says that it will "refine" its policies around the issue. See also: Twitter bans 'inflammatory' Republican anti-abortion campaign ad Twitter is… [Continue Reading]

  Telemetry: OxygenOS secretly collects user data, sending OnePlus a wealth of information

  Publié: octobre 11, 2017, 10:01am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  OxygenOS, the customized version of Android used by OnePlus on its smartphones, has been found to be collecting data about users -- and it's not anonymized. Telemetry is something that has been associated with Windows 10, but now the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has its fans concerned. That a phone collects certain information about usage is not particularly unusual -- it helps to identify problems and speed up software development. But a security researcher's discovery that his OnePlus 2 was sending highly detailed information back to OnePlus without consent has set privacy alarm bells ringing (the issue also affects more recent… [Continue Reading]
