| Go read this report about the horrifying leaks coming from school ransomware attacks Posted: 10 Sep 2021 04:13 PM PDT  Ransomware has been a hot-button topic in 2021 due to its impact on critical infrastructure, hospitals, and computer manufacturers. However, a recent report from NBC News may be one of the more heartbreaking accounts of the effects hackers can have: it details how data leaks from attacks on schools can put student's most sensitive information out onto the internet, available to anyone who knows how to find it and is willing to pay. It's a story that's well worth a read for all the details it goes into and edge cases it explores. According to NBC's report, one school district had an Excel sheet called "Basic student information" posted to the dark web after it refused to pay a ransom, according to the FBI's instructions. The article's... |
| Google faces whistleblower complaint that it underpaid temp workers by as much as $100 million Posted: 10 Sep 2021 02:47 PM PDT  In 2019 a New York Times report called Google's then-121,000-strong assortment of temporary employees "a shadow work force that now outnumbers the company's full-time employees." Now, a whistleblower has filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stating that gaps in pay between temporary workers and full-time employees doing similar work had widened over the last few years, stretching far enough that the Guardian reports it broke local laws in the UK, Europe, and Asia. Even worse, documents viewed by the Guardian and the New York Times reveal that last December, Google managers discovered the problem and instead of addressing it immediately, they held off on taking action and only applied correct rates for the... |
| Judge says Apple may be ‘stretching the truth’ on Mac malware concerns Posted: 10 Sep 2021 02:09 PM PDT  During the Apple v. Epic trial, Apple software leader Craig Federighi argued that tight control over the App Store was necessary for securing the iPhone. But Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers didn't buy it, writing in her ruling Friday that he may have been "stretching the truth for the sake of the argument." Federighi cast heavy doubts about whether Apple would be able to secure iPhones without its App Review system acting as a gateway, by saying that the macOS security was basically in a bad place. Judge Rodgers doesn't think Federighi has the proof to back it up (you can read her quotes below in context on page 114):

| Instagram is testing new ‘Favorites’ to bring order to your chaotic feed Posted: 10 Sep 2021 01:51 PM PDT  You're on Instagram looking for your best friend's daily dog update, but you have to scroll endlessly through a sea of posts you care little about, and probably forget what you're looking for in the first place. After a few extra annoyed scrolls, you close the app in frustration. It seems Instagram is well aware of your plight, because it is quietly testing out a solution for your messy feed called "Favorites." According to Alessandro Paluzzi, a mobile developer who first posted about the new feature on Twitter, Favorites lets you categorize your most important Instagram accounts (friends and creators) as your priorities, so that their posts will land "higher" in your feed.

| Stephen King’s new short story is a Humble Bundle exclusive Posted: 10 Sep 2021 01:46 PM PDT  Author Stephen King and Humble Bundle are teaming up to release an exclusive short story called "Red Screen." All pay-what-you-want proceeds (starting at a $5 minimum) from "Red Screen" will benefit the American Civil Liberties Union while the story is available, from September 10th through September 16th. Besides being notable as one of the newest entries in King's prolific body of work, "Red Screen" is also the first Humble Bundle Exclusive. Based on what little has been shared of the plot, it certainly sounds...interesting. The description follows (emphasis mine): "The never before published story follows a cop who interrogates a deranged plumber who just murdered his wife, only to discover something far more insidious." |
| Analogue Pocket preorders won’t arrive until December 2021 Posted: 10 Sep 2021 01:45 PM PDT  The Analogue Pocket has experienced a few delays already due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it's suffering another, the company shared on its site. Preorders for the retro handheld that can play Game Boy cartridges and other formats like Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and more via adapters will ship "at the latest in December." The $199 console was previously slated to launch in October, following a delay that pushed it from its original 2020 launch window. Analogue says that "due to new Covid restrictions with our assembly partners, their capacity to deliver within our agreed timeframe has been affected." Though understandably frustrating for people who like to stay entertained during tough times, you can't pin blame just on Analogue... |
| You can now jump in the queue to buy a PS5 (update: sold out) Posted: 10 Sep 2021 01:21 PM PDT  Update September 10th, 5:01PM ET: Sony appears to have sold out of PS5 consoles for the day. We'll make sure to let you know when the next opportunity comes up. The PlayStation 5 is still difficult to get, but as restocks come and go one of the most reliable sources is Sony itself. Sony's direct online store has opened a queue for ordering the disc-based PlayStation 5 console and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. Once you're on the landing page, you do not have to refresh the page, just try to wait patiently. When the countdown finishes, make sure you have your PlayStation Network account info ready to log in and complete the purchase if you are allocated a spot to buy one. While you wait...There are also a variety of accessories to... |
| This tiny plastic Shockbox makes Magic: The Gathering games even more painful Posted: 10 Sep 2021 01:05 PM PDT  Magic: The Gathering is a painful game. It hurts to see your meticulously crafted deck obliterated by a killer combo by turn four or to have your game-winning creature fizzle into nothing with a well-timed Counterspell. But Sheepwave — a streamer, artist, and Magic: The Gathering content creator — doesn't think this already ruthless game is painful enough. To add a little spice to her Magic games, Sheepwave made the Shockbox — a box that delivers a tiny electrical jolt whenever a player takes damage. Sheepwave says the Shockbox was born out of a "twisted" sense of humor and an affinity for electrical engineering projects. "The whole thing started as a one-off joke I made," Sheepwave tells The Verge. "But people really responded to it,... |
| The Epic v. Apple ruling could put a serious dent in Apple’s $19 billion App Store business Posted: 10 Sep 2021 01:04 PM PDT  The App Store may never be the same. Today's ruling from Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in the Epic v. Apple trial mandates that Apple must allow all developers the option to point directly to other payment systems, in addition to Apple's own in-app purchasing system (IAP). It's a decision that cuts right to the heart of the roughly $19 billion a year the App Store brings in for Apple, because at the end of the day, the App Store makes most of its money off in-app purchases inside free-to-download games. It's not a total sledgehammer to the heart of Apple's walled garden; the ruling still maintains the App Store as the only place that users can go to to buy or download new apps, and doesn't challenge Apple's 30 percent cut of those... |
