The controversial crease has been a point of concern for foldable shoppers, particularly with Samsung’s Z Fold and Z Flip lines, whose hinges create a tight enough bend at the center to present a visual and textural interference. Hold either Galaxy foldable at an angle and you’ll immediately notice a stream of shadow and light refracting from the centerline of the devices. For some, this aspect of the design can be shrugged off....

That’s what Luis Sevilla, Dygma CEO and a former eSports coach of the two-time LEC champions Fnatic, set out to resolve when he turned his career-inspired passion project into an ergonomic solution for the masses in 2017. Over the past two weeks, I had the opportunity to test out Sevilla’s latest keyboard – the Dygma Raise – which was designed to relieve common pain points such as carpal tunnel, ulnar deviation, and extension....

Three-year-old Optimyze, whose official listing in databases such as FactSet lists it as being based in Zürich, Switzerland, although the company tells ZDNet that it is “not based anywere” but is “legally incorporated in Delaware,” makes a tool called Prodfiler that is meant to tell IT how efficient fleets of machines are in terms of CPU usage. “Optimyze’s software allows unprecedented visibility into ‘which line of code is consuming how much CPU’ across fleets of thousands of machines,” the company claims....

Celona.io, the two-year-old enterprise 5G networking vendor profiled by ZDNet in November, on Monday announced it had received $60 million in venture funding in a Series C round, bringing its total funding to date to $100 million. The new money comes with what appears to be momentum among some very large customers in the automotive and retail markets. “We are getting some pretty specific validation points,” Celona’s CEO and co-founder, Rajeev Shah, told ZDNet regarding what he sees as his company’s leadership in the still-young enterprise 5G market, speaking in an interview by phone....

In explaining the resolution, the European Parliament said the use of AI by law enforcement currently poses various risks spanning opaque decision-making, discrimination, privacy intrusion, challenges to the protection of personal data, human dignity, and the freedom of expression and information. “These potential risks are aggravated in the sector of law enforcement and criminal justice, as they may affect the presumption of innocence, the fundamental rights to liberty and security of the individual and to an effective remedy and fair trial,” the European Parliament said....

Facebook also recently imposed a new policy requiring anyone coming into work at its US offices to be vaccinated. Additionally, all employees in the office must wear a mask, regardless of their vaccination status. “Data, not dates, is what drives our approach for returning to the office,” Facebook spokesperson Tracy Clayton said in a statement. “Given the recent health data showing rising Covid cases based on the Delta variant, our teams in the US will not be required to go back to the office until January 2022....

Virtual meeting tools like Microsoft Teams and Zoom were the big winners of video during the pandemic. And where users go, unfortunately the scammers follow. BEC usually relies on fake, spoofed or compromised email domains to relay messages to targets with the aim of fooling them into making a wire transfer. The scams are technically simple but are often peppered with a carefully constructed backstory conducted via email that fools even well-trained employees....

The FBI said its forensic analysis showed that the exploitation of the zero-day vulnerability in the FatPipe WARP, MPVPN, and IPVPN software, by an advanced persistent threat (APT) group, went back to at least May 2021. It did not provide any further information about the identity of the group. The vulnerability allowed the attackers to gain access to an unrestricted file upload function to drop a webshell for exploitation activity with root access, leading to elevated privileges and potential follow-on activity, the FBI said, noting: “Exploitation of this vulnerability then served as a jumping-off point into other infrastructure for the APT actors....

Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) swapping is an old trick, but the FBI has issued a new alert about it because of a massive leap in reported cases in 2021 compared to previous years. Smartphones are critical tools for authenticating to online services, such as banks that use SMS for sign-in codes. It is a serious problem – if crooks can gain control of these services, they can access the victim’s bank, email, social media, and bank accounts....

Earnings for the quarter came to .09 cents on revenue of $248 million, an increase of $2 million compared to the first quarter of 2021. Wall Street was expecting earnings of $0.09 per share on revenue of $249.07 million. The report sent FireEye shares down 10.75% in late trading. FireEye sold its FireEye Products business to a consortium led by Symphony Technology Group for $1.2 billion on June 2, dramatically changing the company’s outlook....

Firefox determines which add-ons are “most popular” by calculating their average daily users (ADU) throughout the entire year. Adblock Plus averaged 6,134,231 daily users while uBlock Origin averaged 5,011,974 throughout 2021. Firefox notes that uBlock Origin is hot on Adblock Plus’ heels, closing the gap between the two as the year progressed. Firefox estimates that the add-on may pass Adblock Plus at some point in 2022. Privacy appears to be a significant issue for Firefox users....

Compared to the previous version, the new Proton interface uses a bit more vertical space for tabs, swaps out any sort of tab divider for more background colour, and introduces a bunch of whitespace for the main menu as well as reorganising it and stripping out most of the icons. “Floating tabs neatly contain information and surface cues when you need them, like visual indicators for audio controls. The rounded design of the active tab supports focus and signals the ability to easily move the tab as needed,” Mozilla said in its release notes on the new tab design....

Firefox recently updated its browser in May but has redesigned it again, removing what they called “clutter” and providing a slate of features they created based on user feedback. The new homepage will also allow users to organize their tabs better, and Firefox said the new Firefox for mobile is currently in Beta. The new homepage is available for people with Android 5.0 and above as well as iOS 13 and above....

The retailer has partnered with carmaker Ford and autonomous vehicle platform company Argo AI to launch the new service. Ford’s self-driving test vehicles, equipped with Argo AI’s self-driving system, will be delivering Walmart orders to customers. Users within the defined service areas of the three cities will have access to the service. They will be able to place orders of groceries online for door-to-door autonomous delivery. The trial is expected to begin later this year and will expand to new locations over time....

RaaS has arguably become one of the most prolific and dangerous threats to enterprise security today. Cybercriminals have worked out that they can make serious profits from leasing out their ransomware creations, and especially if it is used against large companies able to pay high ‘ransom’ payments to have their data decrypted after a successful infection. Furthermore, the industry has evolved over recent years to also include other roles – malware developers, native speakers of a language able to manage negotiations, and Initial Access Brokers (IABs) who offer network access to a target system, thereby speeding up RaaS operations....

The administrative complaint focuses on the company’s continued airing of ads claiming customers will be able to file their taxes at no cost to them. The FTC made a point of noting how frequently the company uses the word “free” in its ads, up to and including airing TV commercials with the word being repeated incessantly. According to the regulator, the reality is that most taxpayers that attempt to use the free service spend significant amounts of time putting their information into TurboTax’s filing system, only to be told far into the process that their supposedly free filing service would now require payment....
