  Avast is ruining CCleaner -- malware, bundled software, popup ads... what's next?

  Publié: juin 28, 2018, 10:30pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Security software firm Avast acquired Piriform -- the maker of several popular system utilities, including CCleaner -- last year. Things didn’t go too well from the off however, as shortly afterwards, it was revealed that CCleaner had been hacked and a dangerously modified version had been available to download for a number of weeks. Avast was quick to point out Piriform’s IT systems were breached before it acquired the company, but it was still in charge when the infected build was released. That sort of thing is very unfortunate -- and even more embarrassing given the business Avast is in… [Continue Reading]

  GE Appliances announces world's first Apple HomeKit air conditioners

  Publié: juin 28, 2018, 9:22pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Summertime only just began, and already, it is hot as hell outside. To be honest, I can deal with the heat -- it is the humidity that makes me have a bad time. As a fat guy, this means the back my shirts are usually soaked with sweat. Obesity aside, even thin folks can be miserable in hot and humid weather. Luckily, I have central air conditioning at home -- one of life's greatest pleasures. As a tech enthusiast, I of course have it hooked to a Nest thermostat, which in turn, can be controlled by voice using Alexa. Not… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 28, 2018, 4:34pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Amazon is always looking for new ways to get its Alexa digital assistant into more homes. It’s rolled out a variety of Echo products over the years, most recently the Fire TV Cube, and Echo Dot Kids Edition. A year ago, the company introduced the Echo Show, an Alexa powered device with a built-in 7-inch touchscreen. Today, the retail giant announces a free software update to turn an existing Fire tablet into a slimmed down Show, and there’s a new optional charging dock to complete the experience too.

  Shift to DevOps leads to more time spent troubleshooting

  Publié: juin 28, 2018, 4:09pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new report from log management platform Scalyr reveals that as organizations shift from more traditional architectures to microservices, they release software more frequently, but spend more time troubleshooting issues. The State of DevOps Observability Report, based on a survey of 155 software development practitioners, finds that organizations are shifting away from traditional, monolithic architectures, with three-quarters of survey respondents delivering at least some of their applications and more than one-third delivering most of their applications as microservices. However, this shift has put pressure on DevOps observability. Despite having multiple visibility tools, respondents who deliver software in this modern way… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon introduces its largest and fastest tablet for kids

  Publié: juin 28, 2018, 3:59pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Amazon’s Fire tablets have been a big success for the company, with the Kids Editions proving very popular with parents. As well as offering age-appropriate content, they come with a kid proof case which makes them much harder to break than regular tablets. Today the retail giant introduces a new model to the range. The Fire HD 10 Kids Edition is its largest kid friendly device to date, and for a price that’s very reasonable.

  Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 3 'Cindy' Beta coming next month

  Publié: juin 28, 2018, 2:54pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based desktop Linux distribution, right? Yes and no. While the "normal" version of the operating system is, in fact, based on Canonical's distro, there is yet another version. Called Linux Mint Debian Edition, or LMDE, it is based on Debian -- as the name implies. Today, we learn some interesting news. The Beta of the next version of the operating system, LMDE 3 -- code-named "Cindy" -- should be released next month, in July. "Next on our list is LMDE 3 aka 'Cindy'. We upgraded it with the latest Cinnamon and all the components which got… [Continue Reading]

  One in every 17 mobile devices is used to conduct bad bot attacks

  Publié: juin 28, 2018, 1:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Cybercriminals are using mobile devices to avoid detection and execute a number of nefarious acts, according to a new report. The study from bot mitigation specialist Distil Networks finds 5.8 percent -- around one in 17 -- of all mobile devices across six major cellular networks are used in such automated attacks and represent eight percent of all bad bot traffic. The bad bot traffic is deployed against businesses with a web presence, to carry out acts that include web scraping, brute force attacks, competitive data mining, online fraud, account hijacking, data theft, spam and digital ad fraud. Distil sampled… [Continue Reading]

  70 percent would leave a job if their digital activity was secretly monitored

  Publié: juin 28, 2018, 12:42pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new Harris Poll commissioned by insider threat detection company Dtex Systems looks at employee attitudes towards the monitoring of their digital activities. Carried out in the wake of data collection, monitoring and privacy scandals at Facebook and elsewhere, it shows that 45 percent of Americans believe it is at least sometimes acceptable for employers to monitor employees' digital activities to protect against security threats and data breaches. A much higher percentage (64 percent) believe that employers have the right to monitor employees' digital activities on personal or work-issued devices used to conduct work for security purposes, as long as… [Continue Reading]

  MintBox Mini 2 now available for purchase with Linux Mint 19 'Tara' pre-installed

  Publié: juin 28, 2018, 5:18am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Back in March, we reported on the Mintbox Mini 2 -- a diminutive Linux Mint desktop PC manufactured by a company called "Compulab." Of course, it can run other distributions too, such as Ubuntu and Fedora. Heck, it can even run Windows 10 if you want/need. This is the second generation of Mintbox Mini with the big difference being a switch from AMD to Intel. The fanless device is not a powerhouse, but it should run the Linux distribution like a champ. Quite frankly, it is very beautiful too -- the fins look cool as hell. Barring any last-minute issues,… [Continue Reading]
