  Publié: octobre 26, 2017, 11:40pm CEST par Michael Moore

  5 percent of Windows 10 users already have the Fall Creators Update, but what on earth's happening with the Creators Update?

  Publié: octobre 26, 2017, 8:42pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Microsoft rolls out two feature updates a year for Windows 10. In April the software giant released the Creators Update, and then a week ago, the Fall Creators Update made its debut. Spaced six months apart, the idea is that by the time the second feature update is released, most people will have upgraded to the first. But while that’s the theory, it’s certainly not the case with the Creators Update.

  Publié: octobre 26, 2017, 6:50pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While some people spend their days working at the same location, for many others, their office can be anywhere. It is not uncommon to see people laboring away on a laptop while in their cars, coffee shops, or in a field sitting under a tree. Unfortunately, this often means working with only one display -- having multiple monitors can be a huge boon for productivity. With that said, there are portable monitors on the market that offer a multi-screen experience when on the go. Today, AOC unveils a beautiful new lightweight (1.81 pounds) 16-inch (technically 15.6) variant that connects via… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: octobre 26, 2017, 6:08pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A (8.0") -- also known as the Galaxy Tab A (2017) -- has been "designed for the whole family" and is a budget tablet that you won't mind sharing it with, or giving to, the kids.

  HomeHack vulnerability could allow your LG robot vacuum to spy on you

  Publié: octobre 26, 2017, 4:56pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Researchers at threat prevention specialist Check Point have uncovered a vulnerability which could allow hackers to gain control of the LG Hom-Bot robot vacuum cleaner's video camera. The camera normally sends live video to the associated LG SmartThinQ app as part of its HomeGuard Security feature. Once in control of a specific user's LG account, any LG device or appliance associated with that account could be controlled by the attacker -- including the robot vacuum cleaner, refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers, and air conditioners. Dubbed HomeHack, the vulnerability in the SmartThinQ mobile app enabled Check Point's researchers to… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook Marketplace has been with us for a little while now, giving users of the social network a handy place to buy and sell goods in the same place they chat with friends and post holiday photos. The company today announced a series of changes designed to make it easier to buy cars through Marketplace.

  Traditional antivirus fails to protect 40 percent of users

  Publié: octobre 26, 2017, 2:56pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Conventional antivirus solutions are failing to protect users from attacks according to a  Malwarebytes report. The study is based on real-world clean up scans performed by Malwarebytes. Nearly 40 percent (39.18percent) of all malware attacks cleaned on endpoints with an AV installed occurred on endpoints that had two or more traditional AV solutions registered. In addition 39.16 percent of attacks on endpoints with a non-OS bundled AV installed occurred on an endpoint running one of the four leading traditional AV solutions. "The results of these scans clearly indicate the ineffectiveness of today's traditional AV solutions and, more importantly, the unknown risks… [Continue Reading]

  Kaspersky says it accidentally obtained secret NSA files from a US computer

  Publié: octobre 26, 2017, 12:05pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Earlier in the month, news emerged that Kaspersky software had been used by Russian hackers to identify and steal sensitive NSA files from a US computer. Following the revelation, Kaspersky Lab started an investigation, and now the company has published its findings. Kaspersky concedes that its software had indeed identified classified NSA data -- specifically a hacking tool -- but says that it was unintentional. The unearthed source code was attributed to the Equation Group, and company head Eugene Kaspersky ordered the code be destroyed when the matter was reported to him.

  Yesterday, Bloomberg ran a story suggesting that Apple had faced problems getting the iPhone X to market on time.

  It's not all that long since the launch of Android 8.0 Oreo -- not that many people have it on their phones -- but Google has already pushed out a developer preview of Oreo 8.1. As this is an early beta, there are not a huge number of changes to see in Android Oreo 8.1 developer preview -- but under the hood, there's quite a lot going on.

  Buh-bye! Linux Mint finally kills its pointless KDE Edition

  Publié: octobre 26, 2017, 1:45am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Linux Mint is a fine Ubuntu-based operating system, although I am not sure it needs to exist anymore. After all, its popularity is largely thanks to the historic disdain for Canonical's Unity desktop environment. With the Unity DE now dead, fewer people will seek out the alternative that is Mint. While both the Cinnamon and Mate versions of Linux Mint are decent choices for computer users, there was one version that was always utterly bizarre -- the KDE Edition. Don't get me wrong, KDE is a fine environment, but Kubuntu already exists. Having a version of Mint using KDE was… [Continue Reading]
