Explaining the strategy driving these new services, HPE’s Keith White said, “Data is at the heart of our decisions, of our customers’” decisions. “They’re making a lot of decisions today and they have data spread out all over the place,” said White, HPE’s SVP and GM of Greenlake Cloud Services Commerical business. “Getting ahead in their market requires deriving insights from their data. This takes modernizing their environments, running a modern data platform and running analytics on top of that....

Somehow, browsers seemed largely their same dull selves until Microsoft Edge came along. Yes, its creators decided that the best way to impress you was to get on your nerves, but at least it had twisted Chromium into something that felt vaguely new and speedy. This week, along came Firefox to nudge me into upgrading to its latest version, Firefox 89. I can’t pretend my enthusiasm was high, despite the fact that I’ve been a committed Firefox user for a very long time....

How, then, do we fit art created by AI into that conception of art? If humanity defines art, is it enough to reduce the definition to keywords typed into a generator? It’s a question that’s not theoretical any more. In late August, an AI-generated artwork won a state fine arts competition. Jason Allen entered the Colorado State Fair in the digital art category with a collection that he had selected from AI art generator Midjourney....

Lack of Internet Creates a Barrier to Education Accessibility In the United States, two in three teachers use technology in their classrooms, and it’s not hard to see why. Technology is a convenient way to assign work and can provide access to various resources that enhance students’ academic experience. For students of low-income families, the classroom’s dependence on technology poses an issue not considered by teachers and policymakers. The average cost of internet is around $60 a month, which is not an affordable option for many....

Why is Bootstrapping important? Generally speaking, homomorphic encryption software offers a limited number of operations and with bootstrapping we’re able to exceed this limitation, meaning we can do an unlimited number of operations while the data is still in the encrypted state. What separates your method from previous methods? With our method we have changed the middle step in bootstrapping. There is a process called Homomorphic Bit Extraction. In our process, our method has lower depth and lower complexity....

We were looking for a reliable VPN service and tested a few different companies, but most of them did not provide the security and anonymity we were aiming for. Therefore, we decided to create our own VPN service and keep it log free. That’s how TheSafety.US was born, combining different technologies to create the best anonymous VPN on the planet. What makes your service unique compared to the competitors? Our goal is to ensure the safety and anonymity of our clients....

More stability. More performance. More battery life. After going from bad to great, iOS 15 is once again headed in the bad direction. iOS 15.1 has been out a week, and I’ve been testing it, and it breaks my heart to say it, but the bugs are back. And I’ve had feedback from a number of readers saying the same thing. Here’s what I’ve experienced: Periods of unresponsive user interface Lags in the user interfaceVery variable battery life (some days good, some awful)A weird popping on Bluetooth headsets (both AirPods Pro and others)...

So, where are we in terms of stability and performance? Has Apple finally got all the major bugs nailed down, so it’s plain sailing from here, or is that stable release still eluding iPhone users? iOS 15.4 is an interesting release because not only is it a bug fix release, but it also adds a bunch of new features such as Face ID unlocking while wearing a mask (without the need for an Apple Watch)....

Apple claims that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max get “up to” 20 and 25 hours of video stream, respectively, but even that’s not enough for some new owners. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max features an always-on display, and it seems that people believe that this puts a significant dent in battery life. That, or they’ve been reading one of the many “battery saving tips” posts on the internet that highlight this new feature as a big battery drain....

In the US, more than 70 percent of people do at least some of their banking online. More than half of all web traffic now comes from mobile devices, and traffic to financial institutions isn’t far behind. Is Mobile Banking Safe? Of course, things that are popular aren’t always safe. The shift toward online and mobile banking is driven mostly by its convenience. Plenty of people just embrace the change without considering the trade-offs....

If you’ve always wanted to pursue a career in tech but believed the training would be too difficult, long, or expensive, then you no longer need to worry. Python is one of the easiest programming languages to learn, even for children as young as seven. Yet it is still a skill well worth learning. Moreover, the demand for Python is so high that it is the third-ranking tech skill overall....

The nosedive in profit was due to higher freight and inventory costs, with both amounting to almost AU$69 million and AU$35 million, respectively. By comparison, these expenses were more than double those incurred during FY20. The company also had AU$86 million in administrative expenses, which was almost AU$51 million more than last year.

Previously, we have explored various aspects of the ways data science and machine learning intertwine with natural events – from weather prediction to the impact of climate change on extreme phenomena and measuring the impact of disaster relief. AiDash, however, is aiming at something different: helping utility and energy companies, as well as governments and cities, manage the impact of natural disasters, including storms and wildfires. We connected with AiDash co-founder and CEO Abhishek Singh to learn more about its mission and approach, as well its newly released Disaster and Disruption Management System (DDMS)....

Right now, you have to choose your home automation systems carefully or you might not find enough compatible devices, and you may have to juggle multiple apps to control your home. The CSA aims to change that by developing Matter. A standard could diminish interoperability woes and erase the need for the tinkering involved in connecting incompatible devices to an automation system....

Have you resorted to more McDonald’s because it seems even more convenient than ever? You pull out your phone, you tap an app a couple of times, and the food is soon(ish) at your door or at a friendly neighborhood McDonald’s restaurant. And then there’s the app-based loyalty program that makes you increasingly want more in order to get more, which will make you want even more. It’s the American way....

Some habits you just want to keep to yourself because, well, they’re yours. In the case of other habits, you’re simply afraid of what someone might say. I’m driven to considering this dilemma on learning about the Fly-Thru Drive-Thru. No, this isn’t an airborne fast food emporium – though wouldn’t that be precisely what America needs right now? Instead, the Fly-Thru Drive-Thru is, according to its creators at AdvanTech, a “simple new solution” that’s “enhancing the drive-thru without adding operational complexity....
