Do they really need to be like whatsapp for massive adoption?

"One of the obstacles for progress in the quest for a working quantum computer has been the development of Qubits. Previously these have only been produced by universities and in small numbers. However, researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, found that they could use CEA-Leti wafers. These industrially produced devices were found to be suitable as a platform for a two-dimensional array of qubits, a significant step for a working quantum computer. The results of this study have now been published in Nature Communications."

"Capcom has confirmed that a personal data breach it suffered late last year is worse than first thought, with the total number of potentially compromised people increased to 390,000 (up by 40,000)."

The reasons for Go's rising popularity among malware authors are many and include the fact that detection of Go malware is still spotty, analyzing Go malware is usually more complicated than malware written in C, C++ or C#, and that Go also allows operators to easily compile binaries for different platforms easier than other languages, allowing malware operators to create multi-platform malware easier than before.

- "ElectroRAT is extremely intrusive," researchers said today in a report shared with ZDNet. "It has various capabilities such as keylogging, taking screenshots, uploading files from disk, downloading files, and executing commands on the victim's console."

"Users should know when their data is being collected and shared across other apps and websites - and they should have the choice to allow that or not."

Said the company which has control of the software, the hardware and now the processor. And we can't control how much access they have about the users.

I'm using Brave Browser for most of my navigations. It solved many issues with ads flood.

For sure they are a kind of black box and have more information than needed. But I met a lot of people who trust blindly on them and it is crazy for someone who came from Brazil - the place where no one trust on government about anything.

But, for me, in the end, email must die.

In Estonia it is also considered, since 2001.

Facebook's ad claims Apple’s iOS 14 privacy changes “will change the internet as we know it,” and force websites and blogs “to start charging you subscription fees” or add in-app purchases due to a lack of personalized ads.

"Forty Jane Does who say they were victims of GirlsDoPorn sued Pornhub yesterday for at least $2 million each, alleging that Pornhub hosted videos despite knowing that "GirlsDoPorn was a sex trafficking venture.""

Is it real? A patch of 50GB? Yesterday I received a Valorant patch of 1.3GB and it broke my mood.

"The issue appears to be affecting thousands of users across the UK and Europe, with around 80 per cent claiming to be having trouble sending and receiving messages.

A further 20 per cent are reporting problems logging in."

Seems the problem were broader, impacting some systems whech rely on them as also.

Thanks for the hint. I will take a look about it.

What is better? Ryzen 5000 or Core i7-10700K?

Can the former broken company really face Starlink as a competitor?

As they said, it is not a big improvement and just worth to pay the premium price if want to have the latest graphics and reduced load times...

Someone tried to access it?

It is not in the open-source list.

Not public or even open-source... Hard to trust.

IMO it is very well deserved

If they launch a foldable phone, Apple will consolidate themselves as a follower.

Launching legacy innovation, which probably will be the most expensive of all times.

"The proposed settlement with the states (PDF) doesn't kick any money to consumers. The $113 million will instead be divided among the participating offices to support their consumer protection divisions and recoup the cost of litigation. Additionally, the settlement mostly requires Apple to be more transparent about its behavior, providing "clear and conspicuous information" to consumers about device performance management and battery health."

Who will win? Lawyers.

"The cause: online certificate checks Apple performs each time a user opens an app not downloaded from the App Store. The mass upgrade to Big Sur, it seems, caused the Apple servers responsible for these checks to slow to a crawl."

"It didn't take long for some Mac users to note that trustd—a macOS process responsible for checking with Apple's servers to confirm that an app is notarized—was attempting to contact a host named oscp.apple.com but failing repeatedly. This resulted in systemwide slowdowns as apps attempted to launch, among other things."

I'm pretty sure gamers are not willing to see a gaming computer on Apple. And who uses Apple are not in the gaming field.

>> Intel said it's "relentlessly" focused on building leading chips. "We welcome competition because it makes us better," Intel said in a statement. "We believe that there is a lot of innovation that only Intel can do," including supplying chips that span the full price range of PCs and that can run older software still common in businesses.

-- IMO, the chip seems to bring some innovations, but nothing too new or disruptive for this market.

"In the beginning, there was Whisper. Whisper was part of the holy trinity of Ethereum. You had Ethereum for consensus/computation, Whisper for messaging, and Swarm for storage.

However, for various reasons, Whisper didn’t get the attention it deserved. Development dwindled, it promised too much and it suffered from many issues, such as being extremely inefficient and not being suitable for running on e.g. mobile phone. Despite this, Status used it in its app from around 2017 to 2019. As far as I know, it was one of very few, if not the only, production uses of Whisper.

In an effort to solve some of its immediate problems, we forked Whisper into Waku and formalized it with a proper specification. This solved immediate bandwidth issues for light nodes, introduced rate limiting for better spam protection, improved historical message support, etc."

"As of June 2021, High Quality photos and videos will also begin counting against a user's Google Drive storage capacity"

>> "While we haven't received more than a handful of DMCA notifications targeting in-game music, if you're playing games with recorded music in them, we recommend you review their End User License Agreements (that wall of text at the beginning of a game) to see how the terms cover streaming with that music," Twitch said.

-- Does it mean it is unsafe playing a game under the risk of infringing DMCA rules? They received a few notifications already, what means you are always in risk.

The guy used >> bitcoin << 'to try to cover' his tracks, buying it in one of the most regulated exchanges in the world: Coinbase

Some reports say the whole video conferencing market, being very optimistic, will reach $50B in 2026 (considering Covid-19 - https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/video-conferenc...)

But Zoom, alone, already has a marketcap of $117.534B (https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ZM/)

I really think there is an unsustainable distortion happening.
