It also has a weighted rubber bottom, so it will safely stay where you put it and won’t scratch your floors. Most importantly, this lamp is like a chameleon, staying out of sight when shut off but vibrant and alluring when on....

On July 22, GitHub staff product manager William Bartholomew said in a blog post that Go – also known as Golang – is now firmly entrenched in the top 15 programming languages on the platform, and as the most popular host for Go modules, GitHub wants to help the community “discover, report, and prevent security vulnerabilities.” Introduced in 2019, Go modules were designed to improve dependency management. According to the Go Developer Survey 2020, 76% of respondents said that Go is now used in some form in the enterprise....
The feature is another way GitHub users can enable two-factor authentication alongside security keys and WebAuthn, one-time passcodes, and SMS. “GitHub Mobile provides a strong alternative to existing one-time passcode options offered by third-party applications and via SMS, with an experience that is fully baked into the GitHub services you already use,” Veral said. “GitHub is committed to keeping our platform secure and enabling developers to secure their accounts. One way we’re doing that is by helping more developers adopt two-factor authentication (2FA) for their accounts....
Since February, CNIL has issued formal notices to several organizations, telling them that their use of the service is unlawful. The regulator revealed it has issued formal notices to more organizations with the release of the latest guidance. These organizations have one month to switch over to a GDPR-compliant alternative. CNIL Tells Organizations to Stop Using Google Analytics CNIL has determined that Google Analytics in its current form does not offer sufficient data protection to European citizens....
Android 12L is currently available for developers to begin building and testing their apps against using the Android 12L emulator via Android Studio. Google focussed on addressing multitasking on large screen Android devices – including the ability to open multiple apps in split-screen mode just by dragging an app icon from the taskbar at the bottom of the display to either side of the screen. There’s also a new compatibility mode that will force unoptimized apps to show up as phone apps, in a single column, instead of spreading across the entire screen, as is the case with most Android apps now....

They offer up to 32 Gbps networking bandwidth and a range of network-attached storage options. The new VM family follows last year’s launch of Tau VMs to Google Cloud Compute Engine. Those chips target customers looking for a price-performance improvement without redesigning their Arm architecture applications....
Until they reach a certain age, that is. Many people love their Pixels. Relatively few actually buy them. And, well, just as with cult stars, there have been some unimpressive Pixel performances on occasion. On the other hand, Google has lately presented its Pixels in such an engaging way that you want to (almost) forgive all the half-heartedness with which the company manages the brand. Not too long ago, there was Google winningly advertising its accident calling feature....
The court found Google imposed various contractual obligations, including a 30% commission fee, against developers without providing them with the opportunity to negotiate in good faith, according to a Bloomberg report. The decision comes after four years of litigation from France’s Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who raised lawsuits against Apple and Google as he found the tech giants were not playing fair with French developers and startups. Along with the €2 million fine, the Parisian court has reportedly ordered Google to amend seven clauses from contracts dated back to 2015 and 2016, including clauses that required developers to provide a 30% commissioner on revenues generated on apps downloaded from the Play Store....
The search giant’s first attempt to replace the third-party cookie with its own technology was met with staunch opposition from some, a wary eye from others, and very little positive feedback. It originally committed, in early 2021, to ending third-party cookie support within its Chrome browser in 2022. At that time, Google intended for FLoC to replace cookies with a new technology which it claimed was far more anonymized and still able to yield conversion rates of 95% for every ad dollar spent....
It’s a similar “event type” in Google Calendar as Out of Office and is marked in Calendar with a headphone icon. Focus time also lets users automatically decline conflicting events and, handily, also has a check box to “automatically decline meetings”. That’s useful for all those workers out there who are fed up with online chats and video meetings since the pandemic began last March. SEE: Remote working jobs row shows how much tech has changed “With the changes to our working environments in the past year, having more chats and meetings makes it more difficult for people to carve out time for their core individual work....
The Work Safer tool was built to provide a secure way for teams to communicate through email, meetings, messages, documents, and more. At Next ‘21, the company said it melds Google’s cloud-native, zero-trust tools within Workspace with cybersecurity platforms from CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks. The Google Cybersecurity Action Team will bring together experts from across Google to help provide assistance to government entities, critical infrastructure and businesses. Phil Venables, CISO at Google Cloud and founder of the Google Cybersecurity Action Team, said their customers need a consistent approach to preparing for and defending against cybersecurity threats....
Syniverse provides “backbone services to wireless carriers like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and several others around the world.” It is a critical part of the global telecom infrastructure used by major providers like AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, as well as global companies such as Vodafone and China Mobile. The company quietly disclosed that the hackers had access to its systems for years. This impacted over 200 of Syniverse’s clients, potentially translating to millions of cellphone users worldwide....
What new knowledge did you gain whilst writing this book? When I originally came up with the idea to write this book I already knew a lot about hiding your identity online with things such as VPN’s, Proxies, Tor, etc.. So I didn’t learn a whole lot in that realm. I did, however, spend a lot of time researching the different methods that hackers use to penetrate systems and some of them were very unexpected....

Publicly, the company has only said “a subset” of its customers would be emailed “regarding our continuous efforts to enhance security”. “We appreciate your collaboration and trust as we continue to make your success our top priority,” it said on a security incident notification that has been running for 18 days and counting. The incident in question relates to a theft of OAuth tokens that GitHub saw in April, which impacted four OAuth applications related to Heroku Dashboard and one from Travis CI....
Particularly notable in the cybersecurity milieu seems to be an uptick in software vulnerabilities concerning open-source software or components, such as those attached to fundamental source programming. Recently, trends show that risky software weaknesses affecting the widely-used programming language PHP and its related components are on the rise. This time, a high-risk software vulnerability affecting PHP dependency management tool Composer was reported by SonarSource developer Paul Gerste, on October 5th, 2021....
Labelled the Critical Technology Supply Chain Principles, Minister of Home Affairs Karen Andrews said the voluntary principles were designed to give organisations and consumers the confidence to allocate more resources towards critical emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, blockchain, and algorithmic automation. “These principles come at a vital time – both for Australia and for our critical industries. We face unprecedented threats from a range of malicious cyber actors, growing geostrategic uncertainty, and are increasingly reliant on technologies that can be hacked, held to ransom, or otherwise disrupted,” Andrews said....
On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn. The Greenwich Village bar was a popular spot — a social space where LGBTQ+ people who felt like they couldn’t go anywhere else could gather. Fifty years ago, U.S. law oppressed LGBTQ people on nearly every level. Disrespect, intolerance, and violence were common. In fact, Stonewall had been raided just a few days earlier. But on that day in June, when police officers behaved aggressively and violently when raiding the club, the patrons fought back....
