But the very thing you bought to keep your iPhone safe could be damaging the battery. OK, let’s back up a bit. Apple engineers its devices to operate best at room temperature. While the sweet spot is between 62° to 72° F (16° to 22° C), iPhones have a Goldilocks zone spanning 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C). Anything below that is too cold; anything above that is too hot....

To create this article, I also spoke with 14 engineers currently working at Google, so you can understand what Google knows about your gender, age, and home and work addresses - not to mention your financial status, your health, and even your sexual tendencies.

First, don’t start hyperventilating because Dockershim has been deprecated. While Dockershim enabled you to use the Docker containerd runtime within Kubernetes, it was never designed to be embedded inside Kubernetes. Further, it’s incompatible with Kubernetes’ Container Runtime Interface (CRI). The fix was for dockershim to bridge the gap between Docker’s containerd and CRI. Maintaining dockershim, however, was a pain so Kubernetes started deprecating it. As Kat Cosgrove, a Pulumi Developer Advocate and Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Ambassador, explained, in Kubernetes’ early days, “We only supported one container runtime....

It’s a window unit, so this isn’t the best option for those who want to install central air. For pre-war apartment dwellers or homeowners with over 100 year old homes that can’t accommodate central air, it’s a great way to stay cool during a summer of sweltering heat. The LG can cool up to 450 square feet of space, or an 18- by 25-square foot space. It fits into most windows measuring 27-39-inches wide x 16-inches high....

Setup is simplicity itself. Download the mobile app, configure a login, connect whatever you designate as the ‘primary node’ to your internet router via the Gigabit WAN port and to mains power, and then return to the app to walk through the few stages that complete setup. The whole process was easy, and my two-node system was up and running in under 15 minutes. The nodes themselves are large, measuring 24....

This is particularly important for Lorenz, as a bug in the ransomware’s code means that even if victims paid for the decryption key, some of the encrypted files can’t be recovered. But following analysis of the malware, researchers at Dutch cybersecurity company Tesorion found that were able to engineer a decryption tool for Lorenz ransomware – and now it’s available for free via No More Ransom. SEE: Cybersecurity: Let’s get tactical (ZDNet/TechRepublic special feature) | Download the free PDF version (TechRepublic) No More Ransom is a joint project by law enforcement agencies including Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre, along with partners across Europe in cybersecurity and academics, which aims to disrupt the business of ransomware gangs by providing decryption keys that allow victims to retrieve their files without paying a ransom....

ZDNet’s Steven Vaughan-Nichols has offered a review of cloud storage options, and many readers offered thoughts about alternatives in the comments on the original article. Those include things such as using local storage devices and not using any kind of cloud storage at all. All these worthwhile considerations must be placed in the context of one other concern: Losing the use of iCloud temporarily can also render inoperable everything that comes with an Apple ID....

Also: Low/no-code software may soon test the limits of IT hand-holding A survey released a couple of years ago by Mendix suggests low and no-code does free up professionals’ time. Two-thirds of developers using low and no-code agree that low-code is their go-to work-around development solution since they can’t keep up with the intense demand for developers. At least 90% report having fewer than five app requests per month in their backlogs....

A UK survey comprising 5,000 knowledge workers, 750 hiring managers and 400 senior decision makers by consultancy AND Digital found that people at different levels of seniority within companies have “substantially different” ideas about what skills are most needed. This is causing significant challenges when it comes to closing talent gaps, and a mismatch “between what hiring managers know to be right and what their organizations choose to invest in”....

It’s been a fine business model for a long time, and rarely finer than during the pandemic. Yet, amid McDonald’s increasing reliance on tech-driven drive-thru and delivery, one issue seemed like it might disturb the firmament of success. McDonald’s was insisting that its franchisees owed it money for the fine technology that was driving business toward ever-higher revenues. Every six months, franchisees have to pay McDonald’s a fee, you see, for all the latest innovations – such as robot drive-thrus....

Yann LeCun, chief AI scientist of Meta Properties, owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is likely to tick off a lot of people in his field. With the posting in June of a think piece on the Open Review server, LeCun offered a broad overview of an approach he thinks holds promise for achieving human-level intelligence in machines. Implied if not articulated in the paper is the contention that most of today’s big projects in AI will never be able to reach that human-level goal....

MetaMask Wallet User Faces Phishing Attack Last week, a MetaMask wallet with the Twitter name Domenic Iacovone informed the NFT community that he was the victim of a targeted phishing attack.

Soon after, his entire MetaMask wallet was wiped out....

Those times include today, yesterday and always. For the longest time, Redmond has pressed, prodded and persisted in trying to force human beings to only use Microsoft products. Also: Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing is coming to the Windows 11 taskbar Why, just the other day Microsoft tried to tease me into moving up the line for the new AI-powered Bing chat by suggesting I make Microsoft my default everything. Now, it seems, the company has gone back to another form of pernickety, performative perturbation....
