Thankfully, I did not need to use it for an SOS emergency situation, but always wondered how frequently Garmin devices were used for such incidents. Garmin reported Tuesday that it has supported over 10,000 SOS incidents with an inReach device on all seven continents in more than 150 countries since 2011. While mountain regions have a high number of SOS incidents, there were also hiking and biking SOS incidents reported in various cities....

They all have instructions and a coin cell battery included, but each teaches a completely different lesson. Kids will learn about light-emitting diodes (LEDs) while building the BOB robot. Six lights change colors automatically. MARV will teach the difference between a switch and a pushbutton with its pushbutton and two LEDs....

Why get a minor with a computer science degree? Computer science majors generally have a tough course load. But adding a minor to your comp-sci degree will give you a well-rounded education.

These are the best reasons to get a minor: Minors strengthen in-demand skills. Whether you add a humanities minor or double down on STEM, you can strengthen your reasoning, communication, and innovation skills during your minor....

Google announced this week that educators can now use nearly 20 education-focused apps from within Classroom. Teachers can create student assignments in the apps and sync them with Classroom, among other functions. One benefit of this move is that students only need to remember and use their Google login information. That’s according to a blog post written by Dave Messer, product manager for Google for Education. Here’s the list of Google Classroom’s currently-available add-ons: To use a Classroom add-on, school district tech admins will need to set it up....

When interoperability arrives later this year, users of the companies’ respective conference solutions – Zoom Rooms and Google Meet devices – will be able to communicate seamlessly: Zoom Rooms can join Google Meet meetings, and Google Meet devices can join Zoom Meetings. This can be done from a Zoom Room or a Google Meet device calendar, at the touch of a button. The Zoom-Meet interoperability will initially only work from ChromeOS-based Meet devices, which has been the main platform on which Meet conference devices are built....

There’s a Newsstand feature where you can find and add more sources to really make the most out of the app....

We already knew what the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro looked like, and we had a really good idea of what kind of features either phone would offer thanks to both Google pre-announcing things like the switch to its own Google Tensor processor, and a series of leaks leading up to the launch. But as with all leaks and rumors leading up to any device launch, until the company makes the announcement, anything can change....

According to a Google spokesperson, the company does not “allow ads promoting spyware for partner surveillance.” The spokesperson added that Google immediately removes such ads and continues to “track emerging behaviors to prevent bad actors from trying to evade our detection systems.” Despite this, several groups have raised concerns about Google’s ability to effectively pull stalkerware ads. Stalkerware and Its Worrying Impact These apps are usually marketed to parents as a tool to protect their children from harmful content and predators....

A statement on the official BNB Chain subreddit initially said about $100 million to $110 million was stolen, prompting the team to reach out to “validators to temporarily suspend BNB Smart Chain (BSC)” and contain the incident.

The stolen loot was quickly traded for other crypto assets, including USD Coin....

That’s because the job of being an open-source maintainer is a hard one. While developers fix bugs and create features and reviewers look over their code, the code buck stops with the maintainer. They’re responsible for the ongoing work across broad swathes of an open-source project. As you might guess there are more developers than reviewers and more reviewers than maintainers. Maintainers are the conductors of an open-source project orchestra....

No, I’m not talking about attending an Apple launch event. I’m talking about choosing self-checkout over the human kind. It’s become a severely emotive subject, one that causes conniptions among the usually mild-mannered. Why, some supermarkets are even inserting barriers to prevent shoppers from leaving until they’ve had their self-checkout receipts inspected. Also: The No. 1 way AI is changing grocery shopping But who ever gets the receipt anyway?...

According to IDC, Chromebook shipments are expected to grow 33.5% year-on-year in 2021 and reach 43.4 million units. But looking forward, IDC is predicting that growth will vanish in 2022 and, in fact, decline in growth until 2025. Rival analyst Canalys in May reported worldwide Q1 2021 Chromebook shipments grew a massive 275% in a market led by HP, Lenovo, Acer, Samsung, and Dell. It noted that HP had 595,000 Chromebook shipments in Q1 2020 and grew to 4....

As more and more employees walk out on their (often low-paying) jobs, employers entertain themselves by using more and more surveillance software. Trust has been tossed to the winds. Yet here we are, careening toward Christmas, so you’d think that a little warmth would descend, a little spirit of the season. Sadly, a disturbing survey has descended onto my screen. Its results are likely to bring many to tears and quite a few to update their resignation letters....
