But over the due course of time, OEMs started pouring these features into their OS skin itself. This, when coupled with the fact that rooting tends to bring in more caveats than ever before, resulted in the framework going into oblivion. However, for tech enthusiasts, while this might be the road less traveled and filled up with roadblocks, but it is a journey worth craving for. So on that optimistic note, let’s get started with the steps to install Xposed Framework/LSPosed on your device running Android 13....

In this regard, one of the biggest differentiating factors between both these updates is that the beta build is free whereas Developer builds require you to be a part of the Apple Developer Program—which costs $99 per year. However, all these rules gave currently gone out for a toss. Recently we covered how public beta testers were receiving developer preview updates. iOS 16.5 Developer Beta Update missing for developers! Now, there have been reports that the developers who should have got the iOS 16....

While many have said that the issue first came to light after updating their device to 16.3.1 but we have witnessed similar reports in the past as well, on the earlier iterations of the OS. But irrespective of the OS, there does exist a few nifty workarounds that should help you rectify this issue of the iPhone display not turning on for incoming notifications. So without further ado, let’s get started....

With the latest macOS 13.4 update, the H264 codec 120FPS is no longer working and users are instead greeted with the ‘Render job failed as the current clip could not be processed’ or ‘The clip could not be decoded correctly’ error message. We tried many different software including QuickTime/Final Cut/DaVinci Resolve and all exhibit the same behavior, so the issue is definitely on the OS end. Moroever, the affected clips are being shown with red ‘Media Offline’ indicators and as soon as the software comes across a XAVC-S or H264 codec clip, the software is unable to carry out its tasks any longer....

However, as of now, it is having a tough time with the privacy-centric browser from Mozilla. Numerous users have voiced their concern that they are getting Browser Unsupported error when trying to access Microsoft Teams via teams.live.com on Firefox. If you are also in the same boat, then this guide will make you aware of a nifty workaround that should help you rectify this issue. So without further ado, let’s check it out....

For the past few months, I have been highly skeptical about this OnePlus and Oppo merger and have been writing quite a few articles criticizing this decision. In turn, most of the comments that I get are mostly in sync with my thought process, but there are a few who have been dropping a few negative reactions as well, and I completely respect their viewpoint. One major reason for the same is the fact that even though OnePlus has completely messed up its software side with the incorporation of elements of ColorOS, it proved to be among the most active players in custom development....

This is because we are rather frightened as to what new bugs and issues we are about to welcome on our device. While Android 12 was a nightmare in itself, the thirteenth iteration of the OS doesn’t seem t be doing any good either. While we were still dealing with the excessive device heating and an astronomical amount of battery drainage in idle mode, a new bug has already made its way....

The new Singapore cloud region would allow both large enterprises and small and midsize businesses to store and deploy data for analytics locally, Qlik said in a statement Thursday. It has three other cloud regions in Australia, Ireland, and the US. The vendor has operated an office in Singapore since 2011. The option to keep their data in the regional cloud also would provide customers with the ability to support end-users’ analytics needs in the region more effectively, with faster access and lower latency, Qlik said....

On Monday, the US chip giant said the deal has been agreed as an all-cash transaction at $37 per share. Magna intended to acquire the company for $31.25 per share in an equity agreement worth $3.8 billion. The firm’s intention to purchase was announced in July, however, it seems that Veoneer, an automotive technology company, also engaged the interest of Qualcomm and SSW Partners. After the $4.5 billion counter offer was laid on the table, Magna was given four days to match or improve its deal – a right that was waived....

Initially available on devices based on the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, Qualcomm says that Snapdragon Satellite, which was announced at CES 2023, will be available across “all upcoming 5G Modem-RF systems and Snapdragon Mobile Platform tiers (from 8- to 4-tier)” going forward. This support will allow satellite connectivity to expand beyond smartphones to other device categories, including compute, automotive, and IoT sectors, the company says. Also: The most exciting phones at MWC 2023 (that you likely can’t buy) There’s no indication, yet, of the specific devices that Qualcomm’s newly announced satellite smartphone partners will launch....

But the rapidly growing interest in the burgeoning quantum industry throws up some difficult questions for businesses. One of the most pressing in the near-term is how organisations with quantum computing ambitions can find and attract skilled workers in this new and highly specialised field. There’s also the issue of how industry and academia can speed up the supply of candidates with the right qualifications and competencies into quantum computing jobs....

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the move would incentivise more games projects and game developers to bring their business to the state. “By adding this new games’ incentive, local and international studios will be further motivated to outsource the creation of valuable game titles to Queensland, while our own locally based developers will be supported to create original games content right here,” she said. In addition, the state government said it would move to lower the threshold to access the PDV and games incentive from AU$500,000 to AU$250,000....

In a joint letter sent to The Law Society, the NCSC and ICO say there’s been a rise in ransomware payments and that in some cases solicitors “may have been advising clients to pay” ransoms in the belief that it will keep the data safe or result in a lower financial penalty from the ICO. The Law Society is the professional association for solicitors for England and Wales. “In recent months, we have seen an increase in the number of ransomware attacks and ransom amounts being paid and we are aware that legal advisers are often retained to advise clients who have fallen victim to ransomware on how to respond and whether to pay....

Ransomware attacks have long been a significant cybersecurity issue, causing disruption to critical infrastructure, healthcare, businesses and services around the world. And the potential for disruption is so great that a UK government minister has described it as a national security threat. “The greatest cyber threat to the UK – one now deemed severe enough to pose a national security threat – is from ransomware attacks,” Steve Barclay, lead minister for cybersecurity told the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) CyberUK conference in Newport, Wales....

We last wrote about the new space-hardened Raspberry Pi units, dubbed Astro Pi, in September and they launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in December as part of Expedition 66 on a Dragon Cargo spacecraft atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The AstroPi units are part of a project run by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the Earth-focused Mission Zero and Mission Space Lab. The former allows young Python programmers to take humidity readings on board ISS while the latter lets students run various scientific experiments on the space station using its sensors....

That’s because (they say) they’re experts and have expertly marketed their way into being seen as experts. Which is an expertise in itself. Sometimes, though, you have to wonder about the true basis of their knowledge. I ask because of a recent image from a piece of expert HR software, posted to Twitter by @muchnerve. It asked this currently important question: “Which of the following items might help an HR professional drive employee retention and success?...

It had been rumored at May 2022’s Red Hat Summit that Cormier, who had been with Red Hat for over 14 years, might retire soon. That rumor wasn’t true, but he is moving to a “somewhat” less demanding position. That said, as Stephanie Wonderlick, Red Hat’s VP of Brand Experience + Communication, said, “I don’t think Red Hat would have become Red Hat without Paul Cormier.” Wonderlick’s right. In 2003, when Cormier was Red Hat’s VP of engineering, he led the company to leave behind its early inexpensive distribution, Red Hat Linux, to move to a full business Linux: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)....

Some of the world’s largest global tech firms have already gone ahead and answered those questions, at least for themselves. Twitter led the pack when it announced last May its work-from-home plans would remain permanent, even after offices fully reopen. Square’s declaration that it would permit employees to work from home permanently followed shortly after. PwC Australia Real Estate Advisory business partner Tony Massaro says one thing the pandemic has proven is that remote working is no longer just an experiment, but a widely embraced practice....

Dubbed as the Safe Blues program, the solution relies on Bluetooth technology to transmit virtual “virus-like” strands between mobile devices to mimic the spread of COVID-19 infections in the community in real-time. Relying on artificial intelligence, the Safe Blues infections are then compared to the latest real-world COVID-19 data. “Safe Blues offers a solution for real-time population-level estimates of an epidemic’s response to government directives and near-future projections,” the researchers stated....
