| UK to indefinitely delay age-verification system for online porn Posted: 19 Jun 2019 05:40 PM PDT  The United Kingdom will likely delay its controversial age-verification system for online pornography 'indefinitely,' according to a report from Sky News. Citing multiple sources, Sky News says Jeremy Wright, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport secretary overseeing the UK's regulation of the internet, will announce the delay tomorrow in British Parliament. The ban was slated to go into effect by July 15th, after numerous delays over the course of the last year or so. According to The Guardian, a government spokesperson "did not deny" that the system has been effectively shelved when reached for comment. The age-verification system, which is also sometimes referred to as the UK porn block, was designed as a way to prevent... |
| Microsoft and Kano are launching a build-your-own Windows 10 PC kit Posted: 19 Jun 2019 02:41 PM PDT  Kano, educational startup known for creating build-your-own computer kits for kids, has partnered with Microsoft to create a DIY touchscreen laptop that runs Windows 10 S, a lite version of the OS. Called Kano PC, the laptop closely mirrors the design of a Surface PC, with a 11.6" display that latches onto a keyboard case. Everything about the Kano PC, from the transparent backing that reveals the modular pieces of the computer, to the included apps that encourage tinkering with sound and touch, is designed "specifically for the 21st century classroom". Kano's released DIY computer kits before, but they were powered by Raspberry Pi 3s and Kano's own OS. This time around, it can run full Windows 10 (albeit it in S Mode, which limits it... |
| Microsoft’s Chromium Edge browser now available on Windows 7 and Windows 8 Posted: 19 Jun 2019 02:24 PM PDT  Microsoft is making its Chromium-powered Edge browser available on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 for testing today. The release comes two months after Chromium Edge first debuted on Windows 10, and a month after it appeared on macOS. Microsoft is releasing the daily Canary builds initially, and plans to support the weekly Dev channel "soon." You can download the installer over at Microsoft's Edge Insider site. "You will find the experience and feature set on previous versions of Windows to be largely the same as on Windows 10, including forthcoming support for Internet Explorer mode for our enterprise customers," explains a Microsoft Edge team blog post.

| The Senate will hold a hearing next month on Facebook’s Libra currency Posted: 19 Jun 2019 01:24 PM PDT  On Wednesday, the Senate Banking Committee announced it will be holding a hearing next month to question witnesses over Facebook's new cryptocurrency initiative, Libra. The hearing, entitled "Examining Facebook's Proposed Digital Currency and Data Privacy Considerations," is set for July 16th, but the committee has yet to nail down who will be testifying. The plans come shortly after Facebook formally announced its new cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem, Libra. Facebook's plan was met with harsh criticism from lawmakers, as well as calls for investigation into the potential consumer risks. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is the top Democrat on the committee and was one of the first lawmakers to question Facebook's new product. "Facebook... |
| YouTube facing investigation from federal government over inability to protect children Posted: 19 Jun 2019 12:27 PM PDT  YouTube's ongoing problems surrounding content that involves children has led to an investigation from the federal government, according to a new Washington Post report. The Federal Trade Commission is said to be investigating YouTube's data collection practices and failure to protect children, according to the Post. The investigation is reported to be in its late stages and was brought about after complaints from consumer groups and privacy advocates. The investigation also follows numerous reports and investigations from publications over the last several months demonstrating how YouTube's autoplay and recommendation feature allows predators to take advantage of content on the platform featuring children. A spokesperson for the FTC... |
| New web app brings the Marvel movies to their logical endpoint: a literal bible Posted: 19 Jun 2019 12:11 PM PDT  Fans really love the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Arguably, the movies are almost a religion to some dedicated adherents, who worship their idols through intensive movie marathons and arguing about the films online. But what if they actually were a religion, with the text of the movies turned into a form of scripture? Well, then you'd get the MCU Bible, a project created by developer Sean Lennaerts that turns every single line of dialogue from the 22 films in the MCU into a literal bible. The web app arranges the MCU dialogue as books of scripture, with each movie as its own book. Instead of assigning chapter and verse numbers for each line of dialogue, the MCU Bible features timestamps where each line can be found in the movie. The... |
| Samsung auto-email signature accidentally reveals scripted government news story Posted: 19 Jun 2019 12:03 PM PDT  Details about the death of former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi have been conspicuously absent from news reports. Despite being the first democratically elected Egyptian president, news outlets have scrubbed that information from stories of his demise in what appears to be a government-mandated description sent out to press. As noted by Mada Masr, a majority of newspapers published the same 42-word story sent to editors as a directive via WhatsApp. In the case of at least one outlet, a news anchor did that a little too well. In the clip below, the anchor can be heard wrapping her report with "sent from a Samsung device."

| How to generate virtual online IDs to prevent spam, scams, and phishing attacks Posted: 19 Jun 2019 11:56 AM PDT  So many cybersecurity vulnerabilities exist on the internet nowadays that giving out your email address or phone number when signing up for a service is akin to giving someone your full name on the first date. Recently, a string of SIM swapping hacks have occurred; attacks in which hackers take control of your account by stealing your phone number, claiming ownership of it through your mobile carrier, and using it to bypass text message-based two-factor authentication. As attacks like these become more common, it's worth taking extra precautions when locking down your personal contact information. Apple will begin to implement a new authentication system for iOS users when it launches Sign in with Apple later this fall. But until then... |
