“Over the last 10 years, significant advancements have been made in open compute standards with the formation of multiple working groups delivering over 350 collaborations,” said Rebecca Weekly, chair of OCP and senior director of hyperscale Strategy and Execution at Intel. SEE: Google’s new cloud computing tool helps you pick the greenest data centers Weekly’s stated goals for OCP 2.0 remain largely the same as the original purpose, including modularity, scalability, sustainability, and the ability to integrate across the stack....

It’s at this point when every intrepid tech journalist takes on a pained and guilty expression and channels the internal Ebenezer. For, of course, as the messengers, it is our fault that such wonderments aren’t available for the mere price of nearly free. Though we break it to our friends as gently as possible, we know that somewhere deep down, they blame us for ruining Christmas. Well, no more! In this 2020, oh glorious year of what the hell happened to us, I bring you wonderments, both inexpensive and unusual....

The companies explained that DISH’s cloud-native, open 5G network will be supported by Dell Technologies’ RAN and edge computing infrastructure. They will be “creating private 5G wireless network solutions, software-defined wide-area networks and multi-access edge cloud platforms.” The two will also work together to market the network to businesses and government entities. Marc Rouanne, DISH chief network officer, said Dell Technologies would help them scale the company’s RAN network and build out the hardware and software infrastructure needed for the project....

Despite the upbeat report, DocuSign shares slipped 1.7% in late trading. CEO Dan Springer told ZDNet the results are a validation that the company continues to grow at a high rate even as some of the pandemic-driven sales subside. “We’re really pleased with the solid quarter, with high growth again,” said Springer. “We exceeded our expectations both on revenue and billings; revenue is the most important number that we deliver on....

Bitcoin, and all the thousands of other coins – known as altcoins (Ethereum, Tether, Solana, Dogecoin, stablecoins, and the like) – are unlikely to see much in the way of gains this year. They are “dead money,” as the saying goes on Wall Street. And they could fall further as interest rates continue to rise. Cryptocurrencies, which offer no yield, are now becoming less attractive in a market where rates are driving higher yield on debt instruments that have a guarantee of value....

Their new entry, the H3X, looks a bit more like recent EPOS headsets, with that multi-jointed, futuristic aesthetic they tend toward. More importantly, it retains a remarkable amount of the DNA of its more expensive cousin, closely mirroring how it feels, performs, and sounds. Let’s go in-depth with what I believe just became the best headset you can buy for under $100. Build and fit Because of the ample praise I heaped on the PC38X, and the fact that it can be had for only $50 to $80 more than this model, it’s going to loom large over the H3X’s relative performance....

EDB is initially making BigAnimal available on Microsoft Azure, where it can be procured via the Azure marketplace. We expect that over the next year, BigAnimal will also come to AWS and Google Cloud. With BigAnimal, EDB will support the familiar shared responsibility model for managed DBaaS services. The customer will be responsible for everything from the schema on up to the application layer and security, while EDB handles the infrastructure side: provisioning, hardware instances, software patching, and updating....

The threat actor relies on a fake PayPal login page—which looks deceptively similar to the real one—to dupe their targets into providing all kinds of sensitive information. Unlike most phishing attacks, the attackers do not aim to only steal their victims’ login credentials. They use a counterfeit PayPal page to trick victims into providing their credit card information, social security numbers, government IDs (such as passports and driver’s licenses), and even selfies....

Emails or online offers could advertise products that claim to reduce the risk of catching the virus or provide tests, treatments, or even cures. They might even be messages trying to update you on the coronavirus situation or offer a refund or product. On March 16, many Americans started staying home to curb the spread of COVID-19. One immediate consequence of social distancing has been to strain enterprise contact centers....

According to Ericsson’s President and CEO Börje Ekholm, the transaction is his company’s “next step” toward “putting the power and capabilities of 5G, the biggest global innovation platform, at the fingertips of developers.” While Vonage is best known as a VoIP company, Ericsson appears primarily interested in its cloud-based Vonage Communications Platform (VCP). The platform currently serves over 120,000 accounts and represents more than 80 percent of Vonage’s revenue, Ericsson noted....

Strain on Internet Speed Governments have asked their people to distance themselves from others to slow down the spread of the Coronavirus. Many people are working form home at the moment because of the virus. This means that work meetings and social interactions need to happen in a different way. Therefore many people turn to video calling their colleagues, friends, and relatives. Schools are also trying to teach online. All of this extra use of the internet puts a strain on it’s speed....

The company released the fifth edition of its Cloud and Threat Report that covers the cloud data risks, threats and trends they see throughout the quarter. The report noted that cloud storage apps account for more than 66% of cloud malware delivery. “In Q2 2021, 43% of all malware downloads were malicious Office docs, compared to just 20% at the beginning of 2020. This increase comes even after the Emotet takedown, indicating that other groups observed the success of the Emotet crew and have adopted similar techniques,” the report said....

“A constant theme you’ll see — how Omniverse is used to simulate digital twins of warehouses, plants and factories, of physical and biological systems, the 5G edge, robots, self-driving cars, and even avatars,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in prepared remarks. Underscoring the scale of Nvidia’s ambitions for Omniverse, Huang said Nvidia will build a digital twin to simulate and predict climate change, E-2, or Earth Two. Along with Omniverse expansions, Nvidia announced a range of new Nvidia products and initiatives, spanning enterprise AI, cybersecurity and quantum computing, as well as advances in automotive and healthcare....

The law was first passed after the attacks on 9/11, replacing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The Patriot Act allows American intelligence services to wiretap civilians and suspects of terrorism home and abroad. It doesn’t just cover American citizens, but also people living in other countries....

FonixCrypter Serious About Shutting Down The FonixCrypter ransomware group has been active since at least June 2020. The gang, which also went by the name Xonif, was not as active as other groups like REvil or Ruyk. However, it still had victims all over the world. Nonetheless, like the Maze ransomware group early last year, FonixCrypter announced on the weekend it was shutting down operations. The gang seems serious about closing down, although by all accounts, not all gang members are pleased....

Particularly with Sony offering only backward compatibility with PS VR for its just-launched PlayStation 5, that has left Facebook with the consumer VR market largely to itself. That has been enough to subject the company to accusations of app store manipulation that have fallen primarily on Apple. Indeed, much like the iOS app store, Quest 2’s is dominated by games. But unlike the iOS app store, it doesn’t host many of the kind of massively popular apps that have become part of the shared vocabulary of digital lifestyle infiltration such as Uber and Facebook’s own Instagram and don’t have a good place in the Oculus world until the Facebook division expands into AR....
