  Amazon Dash buttons get chucked on the scrap heap this month

  Publié: août 2, 2019, 12:12pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  The much-maligned Dash button from Amazon is being killed off for good. Having previously announced that they were being discontinued, Amazon has announced that as of the end of this month, it will no longer be possible to place orders via a physical Dash button. This does not mean that the Dash ordering service is ceasing completely -- it will continue to exist in the form of virtual Dash button that can be accessed from a range of devices. In fact, it is the success of virtual Dash buttons that negates the need for physical buttons, prompting Amazon to discontinue… [Continue Reading]

  Gridlocked! Imagining the aftermath of an OTA cyberattack on connected vehicles

  Publié: août 2, 2019, 12:11pm CEST par Randall C. Kennedy

  Twenty percent. A fifth. One in five. That’s how many stalled cars it would take to completely gridlock the Island of Manhattan in New York City. And according to a recent study from Georgia Tech on the impact of a large scale cyberattack against connected vehicles, that’s the more optimistic number. It could go even lower when you factor in traffic flow from side streets and the human propensity towards panic when we feel trapped or boxed in. Basically, it would be the world’s worst traffic jam, with even emergency vehicles unable to move. And it would all start with… [Continue Reading]

  Best Windows 10 apps this week

  Publié: août 2, 2019, 12:01pm CEST par Martin Brinkmann

  Three-hundred-and-forty-six in a series. Welcome to this week's overview of the best apps, games and extensions released for Windows 10 on the Microsoft Store in the past seven days. Microsoft released a new Windows 10 20H1 build this week that includes traces of a new cloud download feature. The feature adds an option to the PC reset troubleshooting process to download operating system files from Microsoft servers during resets. Windows 10 currently uses the Windows installation for that. As always, if I've missed an app or game that has been released this week that you believe is particularly good, let… [Continue Reading]

  Users complain that Windows 10 is stuck in S mode

  Publié: août 2, 2019, 11:55am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Windows 10 S mode is proving problematic for some people, with a number of users complaining that they are unable to get their computers out of the limited mode. A number of laptops -- including the Surface Go and Surface Laptop -- come pre-configured to run in Windows 10 S mode, preventing users from changing their search engine in Edge, or from installing software from outside of the Microsoft Store. It is supposed to be possible to exit S mode, but the option has been broken for a number of days. See also: Microsoft releases Windows 10 20H1 Build 18950… [Continue Reading]

  Privacy: Google stops transcribing Assistant recordings and Apple stops listening to Siri recordings

  Publié: août 2, 2019, 11:24am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Following the revelations that Apple contractors are listening to recordings of things people say to Siri, and Google workers are manually transcribing Assistant recordings, both companies have said they will cease the practice -- at least temporarily. Both Apple and Google were "listening in" on recordings with a view to improving their respective digital assistants, but privacy concerns have forced them to take action. But while Apple is suspending its "grading" program worldwide, Google is only changing the way it operates in Europe.

  Google to let Android users in Europe choose their default search engine -- and will make money in doing so

  Publié: août 2, 2019, 11:00am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  In response to a $5 billion fine for antitrust violations in Europe, Google has announced that it will introduce a new "search engine choice" option next year. It's an idea that is similar to the Browser Choice screen Microsoft introduced following anti-competition complaints about Internet Explorer. Google will "introduce a new way for Android users to select a search provider to power a search box on their home screen and as the default in Chrome (if installed)" in Europe starting in 2020. The search engines that appear in the list will be determined by auctions. Google rivals will have to… [Continue Reading]

  Ubuntu-based Linux Mint 19.2 'Tina' is here with Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce

  Publié: août 2, 2019, 10:57am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Happy Friday, y'all! What a great day it is. Yesterday, System76 excited the Linux community with a new 4K OLED laptop, and now today, a major Linux distribution sees release. After a very short beta period, Linux Mint 19.2 is here. All Linux Mint releases are code-named after women, and 19.2 is no different. This version of the operating system is called "Tina," and I want to believe it is named after the lovable character on animated TV show Bob's Burgers -- although it probably isn't. As usual, three desktop environments are available -- Cinnamon (4.2), MATE (1.22), and Xfce… [Continue Reading]
