  Microsoft releases Windows 10 19H1 Build 18262 to the Fast and Skip Ahead rings

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 8:56pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  The Windows 10 October 2018 Update was a real mess for Microsoft, not to mention for those users who installed it and lost their data. That feature update is back with Windows Insiders for further testing, and it likely won’t be long until it’s re-released. In the meantime, Microsoft is busy working on the next feature update, due out next Spring (the Spring 2019 Update, perhaps?), and today the software giant releases a new build to Insiders on the Fast and Skip Ahead rings. Build 18262 (19H1) gains an additional column in the Details tab of Task Manager that will… [Continue Reading]

  AOC launches affordable V2 Series 1080p monitors with AMD FreeSync and 75Hz refresh

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 8:11pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  If you can afford it, 4K monitors are great. If you are on a budget, however, 1080p is still totally passable. They work perfectly with all operating sytems -- Windows, macOS, and Linux-based -- without any scaling issues. In other words, it is generally a headache-free experience. Today, AOC launches a new affordable "V2 Series" line of 1080p monitors, and they look incredible. How affordable are they? Pricing starts at a mere $99.99! There are three sizes from which to choose -- 22-inch, 24-inch, and 27-inch. The bezels are insanely slim -- great for those that want to use two… [Continue Reading]

  Goodbye noisy neighbors, I quit Nextdoor

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 5:49pm CEST par Joe Wilcox

  Six days ago, Facebook notified me that my personal information had been pilfered in a recently revealed hack affecting tens of millions subscribers. Lovely. Why don't you kick me in the head, too, Mark Zuckerberg? Perhaps you would prefer a baseball bat, so you can beat me to death instead? I responded by removing most of the same information from my FB and started a content purge ahead of possible account deletion. Since then, I have been on a social media account rampage, which turned my sights to Nextdoor, where I joined on Aug. 29, 2017 (my Facebook is 12 years… [Continue Reading]

  Apple gives US customers the chance to download their data and updates its privacy page

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 5:39pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  All of the major technology companies suck up swathes of data about their users, and Apple is no different. While the iPhone-maker may not swallow up anywhere near as much personal information as the likes of Google and Facebook, you may well still be interested to know what the company does hold about you. With the introduction of GDPR, Apple made it possible for people in Europe to download their data. As promised earlier in the year, the company has now expanded this feature to the US.

  Webroot launches VPN to protect Wi-Fi users

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 4:07pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Many people rely on connecting to Wi-Fi networks when they are out and about, but using public hotspots does present a significant security risk. The best way to protect yourself is to use a VPN and cybersecurity company Webroot is launching its own in the form of Webroot WiFi Security, to provide security and privacy for users who connect to WiFi networks using Windows, Mac, and Android operating systems. Webroot WiFi Security is specifically designed to protect consumers from malicious threats that could steal financial and personal information, passwords, or infect a device with malware. In addition it provides anonymity… [Continue Reading]

  Cybersecurity faces a worldwide shortage of almost 3 million staff

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 3:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  New research from (ISC)² -- the world's largest non-profit association of cybersecurity professionals -- reveals a worldwide skills gap of 2.9 million. The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing the highest shortage, at 2.14 million, in part thanks to its growing economies and new cybersecurity and data privacy legislation being enacted throughout the region. North America has the next highest gap at 498,000, while EMEA and Latin America contribute 142,000 and 136,000 to the staffing shortfall, respectively. The findings show 63 percent of respondents reporting that their organizations have a shortage of IT staff dedicated to cybersecurity. This is cause for concern… [Continue Reading]

  Roku resumes Mexico sales after copyright victory

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 1:49pm CEST par Alan Buckingham

  It’s getting to be that time of the year where people look to the tropics for an upcoming vacation. While some seem born for the snow, many feel the same about warm sunshine. One excellent location is Mexico, and it has many vastly different areas to explore. However, if you have something more permanent south of the border -- a beach bungalow you invested in, or a full-time residence -- then your entertainment options just got a little better. Due to a piracy lawsuit brought about by TV company Cablevision, Roku had been forced to cease sales within Mexico. However, that ruling… [Continue Reading]

  Chrome 70 introduces more control over security features

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 1:30pm CEST par Nick Peers

  Google has released Chrome 70.0 for Windows, Mac and Linux, along with Chrome for iOS 70.0. Chrome for Android 70.0 is due imminently. The desktop version of the browser gains several new security related features to build on the major facelift unveiled in Chrome 69 to mark its tenth anniversary. Version 69 introduced an unpopular simplified login process for all Google-owned sites, which basically meant the user was automatically signed into the browser when logging into Google-owned accounts such as YouTube or Gmail. While the feature remains the default option, users can switch it off via Settings > Advanced >… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 October 2018 Update nearly ready for re-release

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 1:02pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  The problems with the recent Windows 10 October 2018 Update have been well documented. If it wasn’t deleting your files, then it was stopping Edge working, and not playing nicely with display drivers. Microsoft responded to the negative feedback by "pausing" the update after a matter of days, and went to work on addressing the problems, rolling out a new test version to Windows Insiders last week. Feedback must have been positive, because Microsoft has now pushed that update to Insiders on the Slow and Release Preview rings, suggesting a re-release for all Windows 10 users is just around the… [Continue Reading]

  Financial firms not keeping up with electronic communication risks

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 12:53pm CEST par Ian Barker

  In a world of evolving technologies and shifting demographics within the workforce, and within firms' customer bases, organizations need to rethink their approach to the adoption and oversight of electronic communications. But a new study from data archiving specialist Smarsh shows that financial organizations are not keeping pace with their retention and supervision efforts -- particularly with a growing, younger workforce that relies on expanding, mobile-friendly channels, such as social media and text messaging. While email remains the main method of electronic communication, social and mobile platforms are playing an increasingly important role in how firms, and investors, conduct business.… [Continue Reading]

  elementary OS 5 'Juno' Linux distribution is ready to replace Windows 10

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 11:58am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Using a computer should be fun and inspiring. Windows used to be enjoyable for many consumers, but Microsoft's latest operating system just isn't. Not only is Windows 10 very buggy -- deleting user files is as bad as it gets, folks -- but the spyware nature with the excessive telemetry can make the user feel like a visitor on their own computer. Hey, you spent good money on your PC -- you should feel at home on it, right? Enter Linux. God bless the open source kernel. Thanks to Linux-based operating systems and excellent free open source software, it is… [Continue Reading]

  Bye bye, TLS 1.0 and 1.1: Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla and Google all wave adieu to old security protocol

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 11:47am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  As part of a coordinated movement between four of the biggest names in tech, the old TLS 1.0 and 1.1 security protocols are to be killed off in Safari, Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome in 2020. Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla and Google have come together to purge the internet of these old and buggy protocols, noting that most people have now moved to TLS 1.2, if not TLS 1.3. Although 94 percent of sites already support version 1.2, a tampering off period over the next 18 months will give everyone a chance to catch up. See also: Browser Reaper: exploit… [Continue Reading]

  How to remove shows without a delete option in Sling Cloud DVR

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 11:14am CEST par Alan Buckingham

  If you weren’t already familiar with Sling TV then you’ve likely had an amusing introduction thanks to recent "Slingers" ads. If you’re still lost, Sling is a live TV service that provides many mainstream channels such as ESPN, CNN and an estimated 100 or so more. If there’s one you want and don’t currently get then there are addon packs you can choose from. While Sling has been around since early 2015, it still has some growing pains. None, at least so far, have been game changers, more minor annoyances than glaring mistakes. One that has been cropping up recently is certain shows… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook says it could use data from Portal devices to target users with ads

  Publié: octobre 17, 2018, 10:01am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  When Facebook unveiled its Portal and Portal+ video calling hardware last week, there were immediate concerns voiced about the privacy implications of the social network's new devices. Facebook has been insistent that Portal is "private by design", and the company said no data -- such as call logs and app usage information -- would be used to target users with ads. Now the company has changed its mind and says that actually it could be hitting users with targeted ads.
