  Google Home learns Spanish

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 8:27pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Do you know what the official language of the United States is? The answer may surprise you. If you said "English," you'd be quite wrong. Actually, it's a trick question -- there is no official language of the USA. That's why it's particularly ignorant to get mad at immigrants for not speaking English. Hell, getting mad at people for speaking their native language would be abhorrent even if English was the official language. With all of that said, a lot of technology -- such as voice assistants -- are designed for English speakers. Today, Google bucks that trend by announcing… [Continue Reading]

  Cisco Talos releases free decryptor for Thanatos ransomware -- ThanatosDecryptor

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 6:14pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Getting hit by a ransomware attack is bad enough; it means that your files have been encrypted and you'll be asked to pay a fee in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or Ethereum to unlock them. The problem is that paying the ransom is in no way a guarantee that your files will be decrypted -- the ransomware was created by criminals, after all. If you've been struck by the Thanatos ransomware, however, there's good news from Cisco Talos. The company has analyzed the malware and developed a free decryption tool that will enable you to get your files back… [Continue Reading]

  New portal offers greater visibility into security gaps

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 4:02pm CEST par Ian Barker

  It can be difficult for security teams to identify the weak spots in their organization's controls that put the security of the business at risk. Managed security services provider Proficio is addressing this by launching a new version of its ProView Plus consumer portal that includes ThreatInsight risk scoring. The ThreatInsight score is calculated based on Proficio's proprietary technology and provides customers with intelligent recommendations on how to improve their security posture. It also allows customers to see how their score compares to Proficio’s complete customer base and their specific industry sector. It uses a dashboard that leverages advanced analytics… [Continue Reading]

  Belkin announces two USB-C keyboards for Chrome OS tablets

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 3:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Tablets running Chrome OS are actually a thing now, as the Chromebook Tab 10 shows us. While that device is mostly aimed at education, it's only a matter of time before companies offer similar devices for business and personal use too. Since Chrome OS can run Android apps now, some people expect it to replace Android on tablets in the future. I'm not yet sold on that concept -- I still prefer Android running Chrome rather than Chrome running Android, but I'll keep an open mind. The biggest problem with Chrome OS tablets -- especially for education -- is the… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon Kindle now supports Arabic language books

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 3:19pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Amazon’s Kindle hardware and associated online ebook store have revolutionized the reading experience. While some folks are scared of change, and desperately clutch their paper books, the future is clearly digital. Quite frankly, it’s wasteful to produce paper books. Not to mention, they take up too much room in a home. Surprisingly, Kindle does not support the Arabic language. Today this changes, however, as Amazon launches more than 12,000 ebooks in that language. "Amazon has brought the same Kindle features that customers around the world love to Arabic language reading. With the Kindle app and Kindle devices, you can sample… [Continue Reading]

  SMBs are underprepared for cyberattacks

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 3:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  No business is immune from cyber attack, and smaller companies are often targeted as they lack the resources to put into first class protection. A new survey by cybersecurity company Webroot of 600 IT decision makers (ITDMs) at small- to medium-sized businesses, finds that the attacks organizations believed themselves to be most susceptible to in 2017 are rapidly shifting in 2018, while businesses still feel underprepared. Phishing is now the number one attack that ITDMs believe their organizations are most susceptible to in 2018. Fear of phishing is up from number three last year, with new forms of malware dropping… [Continue Reading]

  T-Mobile is ready to launch FamilyMode to help parents monitor and control internet and device usage

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 2:29pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Parents have concerns about not only how long their children spend online, but also what they are using various connected devices for. In just a few days' time, T-Mobile is launching its answer to the problem: FamilyMode. This is a service that makes it possible to keep an eye on how long devices are being used for, and to monitor internet usage. FamilyMode uses a hardware base station and a mobile app (available for iOS and Android) to give parents monitoring and control over devices connected via either Wi-Fi or cellular. Available as a subscription service, T-Mobile FamilyMode costs $10… [Continue Reading]

  Report: AT&T is helping the NSA with surveillance using secret buildings throughout the US

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 12:25pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A report published by the Intercept alleges that AT&T has eight buildings across the US which are used to collaborate on surveillance with the NSA. Found in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC, these "peering" facilities are home to networking equipment through which a lot of US and global internet traffic is routed. The Intercept says that there is a lot of evidence to suggest that "the buildings are central to an NSA spying initiative that has for years monitored billions of emails, phone calls, and online chats passing across US territory".… [Continue Reading]

  Free benchmarking tool helps developers understand their apps

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 12:18pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The performance of an app can have a big impact on how users see the business behind it. For developers therefore it's important to understand how their app will work in the real world. To help with this, mobile analytics specialist Adjust is launching a benchmarking tool that will enable companies to understand how well their app is performing across markets and platforms. "Due to fierce competition, app marketing teams no longer focus solely on their own segments, but seek bigger growth in international markets," says Christian Henschel, CEO of Adjust.

  Consumers don't fully trust digital assistants

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 11:16am CEST par Ian Barker

  Given recent scares about digital assistants recording conversations, it's perhaps not surprising that levels of trust in these devices are not high. The latest State of Digital Lifestyles survey from Limelight Networks reveals that adoption of digital assistants is highest in the US where 35 percent of consumers currently own one, however, these consumers still have major trust issues with the devices. Security and possible hacking into digital assistants is a concern 43 for percent, and 46 percent express concerns about data privacy. When it comes to performing specific tasks, less than a third (31 percent) would fully trust a… [Continue Reading]

  Wi-Fi Alliance starts to certify WPA3 devices

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 10:49am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The rise in popularity of smart devices in the home -- coupled with our continuing love of laptops, tablets and phones -- means that we're more reliant on wireless networks than ever before. But the security we rely on to keep things safe is at least 14 years old, if not older (the widely used WPA2 started life back in 2004). Clearly, it's time for a security upgrade, and to this end, the Wi-Fi Alliance has just started certifying devices that support WPA3 -- the predictably-named successor to WPA2. This latest security protocol includes a number of important enhancements, and… [Continue Reading]

  Apple releases the first public beta of iOS 12

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 9:51am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  If you're keen to try out the next version of iOS without risking the developer preview, you're in luck -- Apple has just released the first public beta of iOS 12, and it's freely available for anyone who fancies it to download. Apple has already revealed quite a bit about the latest version of its mobile operating system, and at WWDC it focused on the performance enhancements on offer. But iOS 12 is about much more than this. There are also updates to Siri, key apps, ARKit 2, Animoji, Memoji and much more. Read on to find out how to… [Continue Reading]

  Firefox Quantum 61 tweaks user interface, boosts performance (again)

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 9:38am CEST par Nick Peers

  Mozilla has released Firefox Quantum 61.0 for desktop, along with Firefox for Android 61.0. The new release sells itself on major performance improvements, security updates and some user interface changes and tweaks. Also improved is the bookmark sync function and access to search engines. Performance enhancements are numerous in Firefox 61: first, there are updates to Quantum’s CSS support to speed up page rendering, which apply to both Android and desktop users. Desktop users should also see page rendering times reduced further thanks to a new "retained display list" feature, which updates pages as they’re changed rather than reloading everything… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 2:39am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Video game streaming on platforms like Twitch and Mixer is huge nowadays. Hell, it isn't even just a hobby -- some of these players are making serious money by streaming themselves playing popular games online. Of course, it isn't just about gaming -- these content creators also offer intriguing personalities. Streaming PC games can be quite easy, but what about console gaming? For that, your best bet is to leverage a capture card -- a device that connects the video-out from your console to your PC. Today, AVerMedia launches two such capture cards, and both support 4K -- perfect for… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft to finally begin selling its ridiculous Surface Connect to USB-C Adapter this week

  Publié: juin 26, 2018, 1:10am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I'm a big fan of some Surface hardware. Microsoft's own laptops and tablets are often well-made and very elegant. Quite frankly, if you want a portable Windows 10 PC, the Surface Laptop is a great pick. The Surface Pro is a solid choice too, although it can be difficult to use in a lap -- a non-starter for many. The Surface Book series and Surface Studio are decent choices too, albeit pricey. Unfortunately, while the latest Surface Pro and Surface Laptop computers are rather great, they have one huge issue -- lack of USB-C. It is mind-boggling that Microsoft omitted… [Continue Reading]
