The first full-featured Always Connected PCs come from HP and ASUS (Lenovo also has devices set to be revealed in the coming weeks) and are built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset running Windows 10 (Windows 10 S… [Continue Reading]

  Cryptocurrency apps have severe security vulnerabilities, but do investors care?

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 6:02pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  A market cap of over $350 billion, daily volumes in excess of $10 billion, fast rising prices, a growing number of investors and little to no regulation all combine to make the cryptocurrency space a prime target for hackers. What's more, security is not exactly a main priority for many investors and exchanges, as numerous thefts go to show. Making things even more complicated is the fact that lots of cryptocurrency apps, that let investors and trader store coins, have dangerous vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit to steal users' funds. This is based on a report from security firm High-Tech Bridge,… [Continue Reading]

  Back from the dead: Unofficial Kodi add-on provider TVAddons now has 12 million monthly active users

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 4:38pm CET par Wayne Williams

  TVAddons has had a tough year. The site, which provides access to unofficial Kodi add-ons, and for a time had a custom build of Kodi called FreeTelly, has been sued, had its site closed down and its domains and social media accounts seized. On top of that, it’s also had a number of run-ins with Team Kodi, which called for the site to be permanently shut down, claiming it brings "nothing but misery to everyone."

  Apple wins iPad trademark case against Xiaomi Mi Pad

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 4:29pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A court has ruled that Chinese phone maker Xiaomi may not trademark the name Mi Pad in Europe. The name was thought to be too similar to Apple's iPad, despite there being a difference in pronunciation. The General Court -- the second highest court in the European Union -- said that consumers were likely to be confused by the similarity of the two names.

  DIY data recovery -- challenges and alternatives

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 3:45pm CET par David Zimmerman

  Modern laptops and desktops can hold a massive amount of information, including tens of thousands of pictures and millions of pages of text. Despite their storage capacities, these devices should not be used as a means to permanently store digital information because they’re prone to breakage and data corruption. Recovering data from one of these failed devices is difficult, and requires a high-level of expertise that’s not always accessible to the person that likes to fix things themselves. Older laptops that were constructed with traditional hard drives were fairly simple to pop open and fix. You could unscrew a few… [Continue Reading]

  Spotty downtime hits Facebook Messenger worldwide

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 2:06pm CET par Alan Buckingham

  There are multiple ways for people to communicate these days. Pen and paper have largely gone the way of the pony express as the world graduated to the telephone and then moved on to text messages and, these days, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. The electronic age has not necessarily alleviated problems but has simply led to new ones that can be even more frustrating. That is certainly the case with Messenger, which is currently down in seemingly random areas around the world. The northeast section of the US, eastern coast of Australia, parts of central Europe and various other locations around the globe are reportedly having issues after… [Continue Reading]

  After a year of silence, VLC for Android is updated with much-needed new features

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 12:35pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  When an app goes silent for more than a year, it's reasonable to assume that it has been killed off -- but that's not the case with VLC. The Android version of the popular media player has been updated to version 2.5 after getting stuck at 2.0 for 13 months. Work has been going on for VLC 3.0, but you would have been forgiven for thinking that the app had just been forgotten about. With the launch of VLC 2.5 there are a number of new features to enjoy including a new dynamic UI, a night mode, and picture-in-picture support… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 12:20pm CET par Wayne Williams

  Vivaldi, the new web browser from Jon S. von Tetzchner, the former co-founder of Opera, is already available for Windows, macOS and Linux (x86/x86_64), but from today you can now run it on ARM based Linux devices, including Raspberry Pi. The speedy browser offers useful built-in functionality such as tab grouping, screenshot capture, and ability to take notes.

  Apple agrees to cough up for $15 billion Irish tax bill

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 11:42am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Apple is just one of many technology companies whose tax arrangements in Europe have been criticized. Like other firms, Apple made use of Ireland to help reduce its tax bills, and this is something that the European Commission took exception to. Last year the EC said that tax benefits received by the company in Ireland were in fact illegal under EU law, and ordered that an outstanding €13bn ($15.3bn) tax bill be settled. Despite Apple not wanting to pay the bill -- and the Irish Government not wanting to receive it -- the two sides have now come to an… [Continue Reading]

  How cyber crime could be improving the internet

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 11:28am CET par Ian Barker

  War always sparks innovation, and over the years conflict has led to improvements in technology and the acceleration of development in things like radar and the jet engine. So, is the war against cyber crime driving technologies that will improve the internet? Security education site Cyber Security Degrees thinks so and has produced an infographic to prove it. In 2016, cyber crime cost the global economy over $450 billion -- yet some experts have claimed trying to secure the internet is more trouble than it's worth. Part of this is down to laziness which means people don’t follow security protocol… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 11:17am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Over the weekend, Apple pushed out iOS 11.2 a little earlier than planned to address a crashing problems affecting iPhone users.

  Windows Update in Windows 7 starts throwing up 80248015 error

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 10:37am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Despite Microsoft's aggressive pushing of Windows 10, Windows 7 remains staggeringly popular. A growing number of users are currently reporting an issue with Windows Update at the moment  -- specifically error 80248015. The full error message reads: "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer." Needless to say, a simple restart is not enough to fix the problem, although a workaround has been discovered that solves the issue for some people.

  Toshiba unveils MN06ACA10T 10TB NAS hard disk drive

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 5:29am CET par Brian Fagioli

  Not all hard drives are created equally. When you are in the market for a storage drive, there are many things to consider. Most importantly is brand -- if you are storing important data, you want a product from a company with a good reputation. Next, you want to target the capacity that meets your needs and fits your budget. Obviously the more capacity the better, but there is no point in buying much more than you need. In other words, if you only need to store 1TB of data, an 8TB drive would be a foolish buy. Another thing… [Continue Reading]

  You can win cool prizes just for trying System76's Ubuntu-based 'Pop!_OS' Linux distro!

  Publié: décembre 5, 2017, 1:59am CET par Brian Fagioli

  There is this stereotype that Linux is not conducive to creativity, and I want you to know it is totally false. True, some photographers, videographers, and other types of artists may opt for a Mac or Windows machine, but they can be just as creative with open source and Linux. Not to mention, if you are a maker, engineer, or other type of creator, Linux is probably your best option. The folks over at System76 have been preaching about the benefits of Linux and open source for many years, and its excellent Linux-powered computers are used by many creative professionals… [Continue Reading]
