  Flickr extends deadline, gives free users longer to download their photos

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 10:39pm CET par Wayne Williams

  Under Yahoo, Flickr gave free users a whopping 1TB of storage for their photos, but new owner SmugMug was never going to be as generous. Three months ago the site announced its free plan would be changing, and non-paying users would be limited to storing a maximum of 1,000 photos online. The cutoff for users to download their images or risk losing them forever was yesterday, February 5, but there’s some good news for anyone who failed to take action prior to then, as well as those who found themselves struggling to complete the export by the deadline as a… [Continue Reading]

  TP-Link unveils RE220 AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 8:03pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Mesh networking is very popular these days, and for good reason -- its use of several access points makes it possible to blanket a home in Wi-Fi. The problem? If you already have a good router, it would be foolish to replace it entirely with a mesh system -- that would be a costly affair. Instead, if you need to deliver wireless access to a dead zone in your home, you should opt for a range extender. They are fairly inexpensive, and best of all, will work with your current router. Today, TP-Link unveils its latest range extender -- the… [Continue Reading]

  Failover clustering in the Azure cloud: Understanding the options

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 7:40pm CET par Dave Bermingham

  A number of options are available for providing high availability protection for applications running in the Azure cloud. Some of these options are cloud-based services. Some are in the operating system or application software. And some are purpose-built by third-parties. The numerous permutations and combinations available can make it extraordinarily difficult to choose the best and most cost-effective solution for each application. In general, failover clusters are the best option for assuring high availability. Historically, failover clusters were relatively easy to configure and test in the enterprise datacenter using shared storage and standard features built into Windows Server. But in… [Continue Reading]

  KeySteal: huge macOS vulnerability can be exploited to reveal keychain passwords

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 6:19pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A disgruntled security researcher has revealed a one-click exploit that takes advantage of a macOS vulnerability to reveal all of the passwords stored in a Mac's keychain. Linus Henze developed an exploit tool called KeySteal that uses a 0-day bug to extract keychain passwords on macOS Mojave and older. He stresses that neither root access nor administrator privileges are required, and no password prompts are generated by the tool. Henze is not going to help Apple to fix the problem because the company does not offer a bug bounty program for macOS. See also: Cisco joins Apple in calling for… [Continue Reading]

  Airline e-ticketing systems put passenger data at risk

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 4:37pm CET par Ian Barker

  Airlines could be putting the personal data of their passengers at risk by using unencrypted links, according to a new report. Researchers at security and data management company Wandera have uncovered a vulnerability affecting a number of e-ticketing systems that could allow third parties to view, and in some cases even change, a user's flight booking details, or print their boarding passes. The problem affects a number of major airlines including Southwest, Air France, KLM and Thomas Cook. All of these have sent unencrypted check-in links to passengers. On clicking these links, a passenger is directed to a site where… [Continue Reading]

  Two-thirds of organizations bypass IT for digital transformation projects

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 3:15pm CET par Ian Barker

  According to a new report released by The Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by BMC software, 66 percent of organizations bypass IT when buying new technologies for digital transformation. But despite this, 43 percent of firms still hold IT accountable if something goes wrong with their digital transformation initiatives. The findings are based on a survey of senior executives and administrators in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North America. Reasons given for the lack of collaboration with IT departments on digital transformation initiatives include misalignment in objectives, with non-IT teams prioritizing revenue growth and reducing costs, in contrast to IT… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft announces Sport Red Special Edition Xbox One Wireless Controller

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 2:59pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Special edition video game controllers aren't very special anymore. Look, they are still cool, but there are so many different styles and colors being released, it can be hard to get excited each time one is announced. Microsoft even offers the ability to create a custom controller with its neat Xbox Design Lab. With all of that said, I find myself smitten with a new Xbox One controller. Called "Sport Red Special Edition," it should not surprise you to know it is red. It isn't merely a red paint job, however -- it has different shades of red for the… [Continue Reading]

  The Notifications Widget for Google Photos, Hangouts Chat and Google+ dies in March

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 12:48pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google+ is nearing the end of the line, and ahead of this Google has announced that its Notifications Widget is also to be killed off. The widget -- which appears in the upper right-hand corner of various Google products including Gmail -- lets users know when there are notifications for various services such as Google Photos, Hangouts Chat and Google+. But when March rolls around, you'll have to rely on alerts for individual services instead.

  Microsoft reveals pricing for Windows 7 Extended Security Updates

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 10:54am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Windows 7 may be creakingly old now, but it is still widely used. While large numbers of consumers have migrated to Windows 10, there are still plenty of organizations that are clinging to the old operating system out of a sense of nostalgia, an unwillingness to upgrade, lack of funds for upgrading, or legacy requirements. As of January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer be providing support or security updates for Windows 7 -- apart from for those who are willing to pay for it. The company is offering up to three years of Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU),… [Continue Reading]

  DuckDuckGo reminds ignorant users that many websites ignore browsers' Do Not Track privacy requests

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 9:48am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  In an increasingly-connected world where data is collected and shared, privacy has become ever-more important to people. If you are of that mind, you may have enabled the Do Not Track (DNT) setting in your web browser in the hope that it will stop the websites you visit from tracking your online activities. Bad news: it probably makes no difference whatsoever. This might be something you knew already, but research by privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo -- which famously does respect DNT requests -- found than more than three-quarters of people were not aware of that that many sites ignore DNT… [Continue Reading]

  System76 'Darter Pro' laptop finally here -- support the Linux community and buy it!

  Publié: février 6, 2019, 6:47am CET par Brian Fagioli

  At the end of last month, BetaNews shared with you that System76 was preparing to release a refreshed version of its Darter Pro laptop. This computer features a large 15.6-inch display and a rather thin and light body. There are many useful ports too, such as USB-C/Thunderbolt 3, USB-A, gigabit Ethernet, an SD Card slot, and both HDMI and DisplayPort for video. If you are a Linux user, the new Darter Pro really looks like a home run. System76 even managed to fit a number pad on the right side of the keyboard -- a much desired feature for many consumers.… [Continue Reading]
