  Awair Glow C smart indoor air-quality monitor is here

  Publié: juillet 24, 2019, 8:05pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Many smart home products just make your life easier -- they don't really add anything new. For instance, in my house, I have a smart thermostat and smart lamps. Using my phone or voice, I can adjust the temperature in my home or turn the lights on. Cool? Yes, but I could always do that -- I just walked to the lamp or thermostat and did it by hand. With that said, there is a smart home product I began testing lately that actually adds to my life. Called Awair, it is a little wooden box that monitors air quality… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft accidentally releases internal Windows 10 preview build with new Start menu and no Live Tiles

  Publié: juillet 24, 2019, 5:04pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Microsoft has unintentionally released Windows 10 Build 18947 to all Insiders, including those on the Slow and Release Preview rings. It was originally believed it was only rolling out to 32-bit devices, but that appears not to be the case.  This build hasn’t undergone proper testing, so could cause problems if installed. Microsoft says it is "looking into" the leak, but in the meantime, if you’re an Insider and you don’t want this build, be sure to reject it when it turns up. However, the new build, which was apparently meant for internal Xbox development, does have an interesting new… [Continue Reading]

  Personal data encryption: The ultimate trolley problem

  Publié: juillet 24, 2019, 3:46pm CEST par Randall C. Kennedy

  There’s a bomb hidden somewhere in a city. Law enforcement is in possession of a suspect’s mobile phone but can’t gain access because the device is encrypted, and the suspect is deceased. The authorities then demand that the device manufacturer create a backdoor so that they can bypass the encryption and learn how to stop the bomb. The clock is ticking. Literally thousands of lives are at stake. If the company complies, they will be exposing many times more users to potential security breaches in the future once the backdoor they provide is inevitably leaked to the world. If they… [Continue Reading]

  Department of Justice's Antitrust Division launches big tech investigation

  Publié: juillet 24, 2019, 11:42am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Without naming any names, the Department of Justice has announced today that its Antitrust Division is to launch an investigation into the practices of "market-leading online platforms". The probe comes amid concerns that the big names in technology are "engaging in practices that have reduced competition, stifled innovation, or otherwise harmed consumers". While the DoJ has not officially named any of the companies it is planning to look into as part of its investigation, the likes of Facebook, Google (or Alphabet) and Amazon are likely to feature prominently. The Department says that the investigation -- or "review" as it calls… [Continue Reading]

  'Critical' vulnerability discovered in VLC on Linux and Windows -- but VideoLAN says it is not reproducible

  Publié: juillet 24, 2019, 11:11am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Reports have emerged of a security bug in the Windows and Linux versions of VLC, making it vulnerable to remote-code execution via malicious videos. But although German and American security experts have branded the flaw as "critical", VLC-maker VideoLAN is downplaying things. In fact, more than downplaying the vulnerability, VideoLAN is flat-out denying that it exists, with the software developer dismissing it as "fake news". The alleged vulnerability has been assigned a 9.8 critical score on NIST and a similar warning has been issued by CERT. The flaw supposedly means that malicious MKV files could be used to compromise VLC.… [Continue Reading]
