13 March 2019 @ 12:30 am

According to a recent report by Digitimes, Intel’s CPU supply shortage will continue to worsen through the 2H2019 as demand for entry level and mainstream notebooks such as Chromebooks and Core i3-based notebooks continue to increase without the proper increase in supply to sustain the growth.

SEC, DOJ investigate CrowdStrike deal with reseller Carahsoft

22 February 2025 @ 2:02 am

US feds are reportedly investigating a $32 million deal inked by CrowdStrike with a government reseller to provide cybersecurity tools for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) — products the agency never used and said it didn’t even purchase. On the last day of Q3 2023, the security giant signed a contract with top government software reseller Carahsoft Technology Corp. for use of its identity threat detection software by the IRS, according to a Bloomberg report. The timing seems to be a critical component of the investigation, as the transaction was large enough for CrowdStrike to meet Wall Street expectations for the quarter. Given that IRS usage hasn’t materialized, som

Amazon concedes that Chime SDK makes far more sense than the Chime application itself

21 February 2025 @ 10:18 pm

Amazon’s announcement on Wednesday that it is abandoning its Chime collaboration app, while stressing that it will double down on the far more successful Chime software development kit (SDK), was an example of Amazon being Amazon. It knows what it does well, and where to focus. Analysts said that the Chime app made some sense when it was introduced in February 2017, but that sharply changed in 2000 when the pandemic hit. Microsoft and Zoom added lots of new functionality to their colla

Apple terminates UK data protection after government overreach

21 February 2025 @ 4:05 pm

As of 10 a.m. (ET) today, Apple is no longer offering new users in the UK the chance to enable Advanced Data Protection. Essentially, anyone who now wants to enable the feature to protect their data against criminal or state surveillance or exfiltration will no longer be able to do so. The move appears to be a direct response to the foolish and supremely dangerous demand by the UK government to undermine personal data security on an international scale

No, Apple and Meta aren’t making humanoid robots

Chaos ahead: emerging technologies will test data privacy, says Britain’s ICO

There’s a lot to like about Apple’s newest $599 iPhone 16e, but one of the more interesting features in the device is the Apple-designed 5G modem.
