This gap exists, Salesforce executives asserted, because too many companies are struggling to overcome data-management and data-science technical hurdles, so they have yet to put AI into production at scale. Salesforce’s alternative is Einstein and Einstein Analytics, both of which offer prebuilt, CRM-embedded predictions and recommendations along with the ability to build AI apps and answer company-specific business questions without coding or data science expertise. There’s no question that AI is of interest to organizations and that the Einstein and Einstein Analytics promise of pre-built capabilities and declarative, no-code/low-code app and model development is compelling....

It also came with unexpected side effects, causing handsets to reboot in cold weather or when the battery’s charge level was low. The feature was initially rolled out to iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, and iPhone SE and later expanded to include the iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X models. This latest UK-based multimillion-pound legal claim has been launched by Justin Gutmann, a consumer rights campaigner, and alleges that Apple deliberately misled users, and rather than roll out a battery recall or replacement program; the company instead pushed out this feature to cover up the fact that older iPhone batteries were not able to cope with the new power demands put on them....

The new Windows 11 Photos now directly integrate with Apple iCloud Photos, which should make it easier to view photos and videos taken on an iPhone on a PC. The Photos/iCloud Photos integration was announced last month, along with Microsoft’s deal with Apple to bring Apple Music and Apple TV apps to the Microsoft Store at some point in 2023. Windows 11 users need to update the Photos app from the Microsoft Store....

You look outside your window and these people seem so happy. They’re sitting contentedly in parks with warm lattes, while you’re wrapped up in work, cables, and very dull PCs. You have huge screens upon which explosions occur every few seconds, as you try to become one of the world’s great gamers. Meanwhile, some younger tyke is sitting outside – outside, I tell you – merrily gaming away with fresh air whispering through his locks....

Before diving into the topic, it is important to understand the basics of blockchain. However, we will not get into core technical details, since it is a topic in itself. So, what is blockchain? Many people interchangeably use the term blockchain and Bitcoin, but they are not the same. Blockchain is a concept, an idea. Bitcoin is the first and major implementation of that idea. There can be other different implementations on top of blockchain which are nowhere related to Bitcoin....

That’s a massive performance boost, and combined with a RAM bump to 24GB and a doubling of the memory bandwidth, it’s something that people wanting the best performance possible will probably want. Let’s begin with the differences between the M1 and M2. I’ve not had an opportunity to have hands-on time with MacBooks running these chips, so all I have to go on are Apple’s facts and figures. I’ve outlined the main differences here but the bottom line is that the M2 has an 18% faster CPU and a 35% faster GPU....

But even that still represents less than 60 percent of MediaTek’s revenue. The company has high or leading market share in a range of device types, including smart TVs, routers, and Chromebooks with its Kompanio processors. While it has partnerships with Intel and AMD to offer 5G radios for x86 laptops, however, Windows can’t run on MediaTek’s PC-focused processors the way Chrome OS can. At least, not yet. By riding the Chromebook wave, MediaTek is tapping into a part of the PC market that’s gaining market share and is poised to benefit from federal funds earmarked to equip schools with technology....

The space agency said Orion reacquired signal with NASA’s Deep Space Network, at 7:59 am EST after successfully performing the outbound powered flyby burn at 7:44 am EST, firing the ship’s orbital maneuvering system engine for 2 minutes and 30 seconds to accelerate the spacecraft at a rate of more than 580 mph. At the time of the burn, Orion was 328 miles above the Moon: Shortly after the burn, Orion passed 81 miles above the Moon, traveling at 5,102 mph....

Athleta announced the platform alongside the news of a partnership with obé Fitness, a platform with a focus on entertainment, pop culture, design, and fitness content. Kim Waldmann, chief digital officer at Athleta, said customers told the company that “wellbeing is a complex journey, rich with questions, and there isn’t a place where women can talk about it holistically or discover the best solutions.” “We’re excited to offer AthletaWell, a new digital platform for women to help each other navigate the complexities of modern-day womanhood and to connect our customers in a way that will enhance their overall experience with the brand in a meaningful way, thus creating even more brand loyalty over time,” Waldmann said....

Formerly known as Pegasus Group Australia, My Rewards also confirmed the breach in a statement Thursday, revealing that preliminary investigations pointed to an “unauthorised access” to its systems in August 2021, which led to the data compromise. This meant that personally identifiable information, including names, email addresses, and phone numbers, likely had been made publicly available, the company said, noting that all its data were stored in Australia. My Rewards added that its IT systems currently had not suffered any breach and would work with the relevant authorities....

The Trans-Tasman Measuring Broadband report compared 100/20Mbps plans on full fibre and HFC connections in Australia, and full fibre in NZ, as well as full-fibre only NBN Ultrafast against NZ Fibre Max plan, and fixed wireless connections. The multi-technology mix connectivity used in Australia was not compared to NZ’s fibre network presumably because some sort of mercy rule kicked in. For the 100Mbps plan shootout, the NZ network was slightly faster down, a mere 0....

The Sydney Local Court found the man guilty of various cybercrime offences, including obtaining and supplying data with intent to commit a computer offence. He was sentenced to two years and eight months’ imprisonment, said the Australian Federal Police (AFP), which gathered evidence from website registrations suspected of being used to facilitate the phishing scams. It noted that these sites were used to target customers of local telecommunications providers and financial institutions....

In an email to customers, the company emphasized that the breach occurred on a testing platform that is not linked to its live website.

Vinomofo said it is working with private and public “cyber security and forensic specialists” to investigate the incident, and the risk to customers is low. “Vinomofo does not hold identity or financial data such as passports, driver’s licenses or credit cards/bank details,” the company explained....

Avira is a German software company that was founded over 30 years ago. Since then, it has grown into a market leader in antivirus products. However, it’s still relatively small compared to Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Avast, or AVG. In January 2021 Avira was acquired by NortonLifeLock, the company that owns the Norton 360 antivirus suite. Avira recently backed its antivirus with comprehensive security packages, complete with a VPN, browser protection, software updates, password manager, and free system optimization....

Microsoft carried over some elements of the Surface Book approach to the Laptop Studio – something to sit at the top of its mobile lineup and offer a better typing experience than the Surface Pro. Like the Surface Book, using it in its most slate-like state means losing access to the companion keyboard, although Bluetooth is always an option. And, as with the Surface Book, Microsoft worked engineering magic with the product’s internal wire management through the product’s hinges to realize accelerated performance across its poses....
