  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 10:04pm CEST par Nick Peers

  The Universal Media Server Project has released Universal Media Server 7.0.0, a major new release of its open-source, cross-platform media server for Windows, Mac and Linux computers. The server, which works with a wide range of UPNP/DLNA-compatible devices from mobiles to smart TVs, adds support for filtering content into movie and TV show libraries. It also promises massively improved folder-scanning times along with quicker browsing of Media Folders. The app, which is Java-based, opens with new folder options for its parent media library folder: TV Shows, Movies, 3D Movies and Unsorted. The navigation pane gains a right-click menu, allowing folders… [Continue Reading]

  Logitech Crayon and Rugged Combo 2 enhance the iPad (2018) experience

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 8:17pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Today is a huge day for Apple fans — a new iPad! The company's latest tablet is extremely affordable at $329, and schools can get a $30 discount, bringing the price to just $299. What makes this low-cost education-focused iPad so special is its Apple Pencil support -- something that was previously limited to "Pro" iPad devices. The problem? The Apple Pencil is a bit too large for young students. To solve for this, Logitech has created the "Crayon" -- a smaller writing device that is compatible with the new iPad. Best of all, it is more affordable than Apple’s… [Continue Reading]

  Google Play Movies & TV now lets you search for shows across a range of streaming apps

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 8:12pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  There are so many streaming apps and services to choose from, it can be hard to know where to look when you want to watch something. With its latest update to Google Play Movies & TV, Google may just have come up with the answer for Android users. The update means that when you search for a show within the app, you'll be told which app or service you can use to watch it -- regardless of whether you're a subscriber or not. In all, there's support for over 20 services -- including the likes of Hulu, HBO, ABC and… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft releases Windows 10 Spring Creators Update Build 17133 to the Fast ring

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 7:22pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  We're edging ever closer to the release of the Windows 10 Spring Creators Update, due out next month. It's believed we're at the RTM phase now, but Microsoft will still be issuing updates to Insiders. Today, Build 17133 arrives for those on the Fast ring, and just like in Build 17128, which came out late last week, it’s missing the watermark at the lower right-hand corner of the desktop. Always a sign that we’re nearly ready for the final release.

  Nearly a third of tech workers are ready to #DeleteFacebook

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 6:07pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The fallout from the Cambridge Analytica fiasco has done a great deal of damage to not only Facebook's reputation, but also its finances. In the short term, the social network can afford to take a hit on share prices, but in the longer term there is the trust of users to regain. A survey conducted in the wake of the #DeleteFacebook campaign that followed revelations about the data breach and the logging of Android users' calls and texts, found that a surprising number of tech workers were ready to delete their Facebook accounts. 31 percent backed the #DeleteFacebook campaign, including… [Continue Reading]

  Apple unveils its most affordable iPad yet, with Pencil support

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 6:00pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Apple has today been hosting an education-focused event at the Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago, and as expected it has taken the wraps off a brand new iPad. The new device is designed to take on Google’s Chromebooks in the classroom, but will no doubt find an appreciative audience outside of the education system. The new 9.7in iPad, Apple’s most affordable, works with the Apple Pencil, the first non-Pro device to do so. Pages, Keynote, and Numbers have all been updated with Pencil support too. The new iPad, called simply iPad, has got a 64-bit A10 Fusion… [Continue Reading]

  Intel contributes code to open source edge computing project

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 5:08pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The rise of IoT devices is pushing more systems towards an edge computing model in order to handle the data created more effectively. While several open source projects exist to help solve pieces of the edge puzzle, no single project currently meets the need for a complete edge infrastructure solution. The Akraino Edge Stack community is a new project that aims to address this and today the Linux Foundation is announcing expanded industry support, along with Intel's commitment to open source major components of its Wind River Titanium Cloud portfolio of technologies and the Intel Network Edge Virtualization Software Development… [Continue Reading]

  New asset management platform lets businesses see and secure devices

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 4:29pm CEST par Ian Barker

  One of the basic problems businesses face in preventing attacks is effective discovery and identification of their technology assets. This is made worse by the growth of BYOD and Internet of Things devices. Israel-based Axonius is looking to solve this problem with the launch of its Cybersecurity Asset Management Platform to enable customers to see and secure all their devices. "We started this company to solve a very specific, acute problem -- fragmentation," says Dean Sysman, CEO and co-founder of Axonius. "If you were to think back to the 1980s or 1990s, cyber security was easy. It was a simpler… [Continue Reading]

  Mozilla's Facebook Container extension keeps your Firefox browsing isolated from Facebook

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 4:03pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook has been completely inescapable in the news over the last couple of weeks, and there are increasing concerns that the social network is all but inescapable online generally. In the wake of recent privacy concerns about Facebook, Mozilla -- already petitioning for Mark Zuckerberg to do more -- has launched a new extension for Firefox that helps to keep your browsing private. Called "Facebook Container", the add-on has been designed to make it much harder for Facebook to track your web browsing when you're not using the social network.

  Business operating system Zoho is launching an updated version of its Creator apps builder, delivering the ability to build native mobile apps to automate business processes. Zoho Creator 5 introduces a drag-and-drop interface to complement its HTML/CSS screen creator, and includes pre-built design elements like buttons, layouts, and reports that users can drag onto their page.

  The real problem with self-driving cars

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 3:36pm CEST par Robert X. Cringely

  Whatever happened to baby steps? Last week a 49 year-old Arizona woman was hit and killed by an Uber self-driving car as she tried to walk her bicycle across a road. This first-ever fatal accident involving a self-driving vehicle and a pedestrian has caused both rethinking and finger-pointing in the emerging industry, with Uber temporarily halting tests while it figures out what went wrong and Google’s Waymo division claiming that its self-driving technology would have handled the same incident without injury. Maybe, but I think the more important question is whether these companies are even striving for the correct goal… [Continue Reading]

  Top vulnerabilities shift focus from Adobe to Microsoft

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 3:02pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new report from threat intelligence specialist Recorded Future looks at the changing way in which attackers are using vulnerabilities. In contrast to previous years, most of the criminal exploit kits and phishing campaigns seen in 2017 have favored Microsoft products, rather than the Adobe Flash vulnerabilities which previous research showed as being the most popular. Overall 2017 has seen a 62 percent decline in exploit kit development, with only a few exploit kits including AKBuilder, Disdain, and Terror showing significant activity. Dark web forums and marketplaces though continue to offer both high and low-quality exploit kit options, with prices… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook is testing self-destructing friend requests

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 2:14pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook is currently testing a new feature that would give users the chance to place time limits on friend requests. The idea is that requests that you ignore for a certain period of time would be automatically deleted. While it's not a feature that will be of interest to everyone, it is something that could prove useful to anyone in the public eye who gets bombarded with endless requests to connect. Facebook has confirmed that automatically-expiring friend requests give users a way to more easily manage unwanted requests from people.

  Mark Zuckerberg refuses to answer UK questions about Facebook privacy

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 1:20pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Following the privacy scandal surrounding Cambridge Analytica's use of data from Facebook users, the social network has been under extreme pressure to answer questions from individuals, lawmakers, companies and governments around the world about not only what went wrong, but what will be done to prevent it from happening again. The British parliament was among those seeking to probe Facebook about the breach of privacy, but Mark Zuckerburg has said that he will not appear before a committee to face questions. Instead, he intends to send either chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer, or chief product officer Chris Cox. See also:… [Continue Reading]

  Almost six out of 10 organizations suffer ransomware attacks

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 11:23am CEST par Ian Barker

  New research reveals that 56 percent of surveyed decision makers from IT and risk, fraud or compliance functions report that their organization has suffered a ransomware attack in the last 12 months, compared to under half (48 percent) who said the same in 2016. The study of 500 businesses in the UK, France, Germany and USA commissioned by SentinelOne and carried out by Vanson Bourne shows 69 percent say the most successful ransomware attack resulted in the attacker being able to encrypt some data, with five percent paying the ransom to decrypt the data. Of those whose organization has suffered a ransomware… [Continue Reading]

  WSL-DistroLauncher is an open source tool designed to lure Linux distros to the Microsoft Store

  Publié: mars 27, 2018, 2:07am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Is it cool that there are Linux distributions in the Microsoft Store? Eh, I suppose. While I don't fully trust Microsoft's commitment to both Linux and open source, understandably, some Linux users and administrators have the need to also run Windows 10. And so, from a convenience standpoint, the whole Windows Subsystem for Linux thing is appreciated (we are watching you though, Microsoft!). Unfortunately, not all Linux distributions are available in the Microsoft Store. This is a problem, as Linux users are very tribal -- a Fedora user, for instance, might be unhappy using Debian. Microsoft hopes to solve this… [Continue Reading]
