Also: The best tablets (aren’t all iPads) ‘Tablet first’ 2-in-1s are, as the name suggests, primarily tablets but can work in laptop mode via an add-on – often somewhat flimsy – keyboard, with the tablet propped up by a kickstand. CES 2023 saw several laptop form factor innovations, including Lenovo’s Yoga Book 9i with dual 360-degree-hinged OLED screens, a kickstand and a separate Bluetooth keyboard. Windows dominates the PC operating system market thanks to its long-time availability on a wide range of OEM (and more recently, Microsoft) hardware, which has resulted in a huge variety of software written for the platform....

We use these devices for many different reasons, whether it is to work, study, play games, or simply pay the bills. No matter what you use them for, your devices, including smartphones, tablets, and PCs contain a lot of personal, sensitive information that must be protected. That is why antivirus software and programs are so essential – they protect the details of your personal and professional lives. Now, inbuilt and default antivirus protections offered by device manufacturers are much improved than a decade ago, but when you consider the modern-day threats we face – ranging from phishing to ransomware – you can never have enough protection....

Most of the time, however, there’s the fine print you’ll need to read through and try to decipher. Said fine print usually involves the type of phone you can trade in, the length of time the credits will be applied to your monthly bill, and whether or not there’s a specific price plan required to qualify. Below you’ll find some of the best deals the Uncarrier has to offer right now....

It is not surprising, therefore, that industry experts are looking at the growing global chip shortage with a degree of anxiety. There, too, demand is surpassing supply – and it is only a question of time before the market is flooded with semiconductors that just about pass for authentic, but in reality, are illegal products that could pose huge safety risks. Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, in effect, electronic device makers have come under the pressure of unprecedented demand from consumers....

A deepfake video uses artificial intelligence and deep-learning techniques to produce fake images of people or events. One recent example is when the mayor of Berlin thought he was having an online meeting with former boxing champion and current mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko. SEE: These are the cybersecurity threats of tomorrow that you should be thinking about today But the mayor of Berlin grew suspicious when ‘Klitschko’ started saying some very out of character things relating to the invasion of Ukraine, and when the call was interrupted the mayor’s office contacted the Ukrainian ambassador to Berlin – to discover that, whoever they were talking to, it wasn’t the real Klitschko....

These observations come out of a recent survey of 1,150 executives across all disciplines from Workday, finds 58% of business leaders say that digital transformation has already slowed, or see it slowing – from the pace of 2020. That’s not necessarily surprising, since the 2020-21 period meant digitize or die for many organizations, and many five-year digitization plans got crunched into five days. The recent rush to digital has left many issues unresolved, however – or exposed some issues....

But following an abysmal year for smartphones in which OnePlus’s sales grew over 160%, according to Counterpoint Research, the handset maker has shown it has a bead on a smartphone market that looks a lot different now than it did over the course of HTC’s rise and fall. As many challenger brands do, OnePlus burst onto the scene with a value message, offering specs that competed with other flagships for hundreds of dollars less....

If you think monitoring and debugging applications in this setting is hard, you’re right. But then, of course, we have observability, which is not monitoring, but everyone agrees is important. Confused yet? Observability definitions abound. A simple one is “the ability to measure a system’s current state based on the data it generates, such as logs, metrics, and traces”. Fluentd and Fluent Bit are widely-used open source projects under the auspices of the CNCF, focusing on the logs part of the equation....

I should disclaim that while this $100 off deal doesn’t actually make the Pixel 7 “free,” it’s the first of the two-part process that should leave you with a shiny new smartphone for less than the discount itself. Read on. Also: Know before you buy: Every major retailer’s holiday return policy The way it works is simple: Best Buy is currently offering enhanced trade-in values when purchasing smartphones. That means what is typically valued for, say, $100 can now count as $400 or more....

Ukraine’s Security Service said last week that in the city of Vinnytsia, located along the Southern Bug river, there was an abandoned warehouse in its industrial area that once belonged to an electricity company, JSC Vinnytsiaoblenergo. Upon entry, law enforcement found what it has called the country’s “largest underground cryptocurrency farm.” In total, roughly 3,800 gaming consoles were rigged together and stored on metal racks – and over 500 graphics cards and 50 processors were also found....

Dorsey said he had three reasons why he thought this was the ideal time for him to resign, citing his confidence in Agrawal, new board chair Bret Taylor and the company’s staff. “There’s a lot of talk about the importance of a company being ‘founder-led.’ Ultimately I believe that’s severely limiting and a single point of failure. I’ve worked hard to ensure this company can break away from its founding and founders,” he wrote....

It has a strong opinion here, a new idea there and a CEO who’s often gracing TV screens with pearls of opportunistic wisdom. I was mesmerized, therefore, by an interview given by United’s CEO Scott Kirby to CNN. Even more mesmerized than by the one he gave CBS just a couple of weeks ago. Which is quite something. Speaking of getting through the very difficult Covid period, Kirby channeled his inner Steve Jobs: “We’ve been different....

The news was revealed in a joint letter acquired by Reuterson Monday, in which American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and others claim the launch could “potentially strand tens of thousands of Americans overseas” and create “chaos” across the US travel and shipping networks.
