There is an astonishing sea change beginning I think in how we all interact. Now, I’m not pretending to be an expert in social psychology. But it is clear that despite all the glitches there is an unprecedented level of global cooperation going on. Usually, wars have two human sides. In this one, there is all humanity versus a virus. So, I’ll say it again: Unprecedented. I’m going to institute some regular features and some random things every week....

According to Harvard University Business Research, FOSS, or Free and Open Source Software can be found in the majority of software out there, “80-90 percent of a typical application contains FOSS components.” It is very important to prioritize open source software security, because the open-source trend “is only increasing with its use in smart phones, cars, the Internet of Things, and numerous pieces of critical infrastructure”, according to the Harvard Business School article....

Researchers attributed some of the increases, which were concentrated toward the end of the year, to the Log4j vulnerability discovered in December. Check Point said in a report that 2021 was a record-breaking year for cyberattacks and the Log4J vulnerability only made things worse. “Last year, we saw a staggering 50% more cyber attacks per week on corporate networks compared to 2020 – that’s a significant increase. We saw cyberattack numbers peak towards the end of the year, largely due to the Log4j vulnerability exploit attempts,” said Omer Dembinsky, data research manager at Check Point Software....

That’s the premise behind a new collaboration between Nexar, whose popular dash cams are in hundreds of thousands of cars covering millions of miles of roads a day, and Blyncsy, a movement and data intelligence company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The way we work is by providing various services that are needed for organizations at different stages of development, to reach the resiliency level they need. There are about 10 vendors (such as Radware, Akamai, Imperva Incapsula and CloudFlare) that provide a DDoS mitigation software or service, but just enrolling or deploying their service is not enough. In order to be truly protected, you need to perform additional actions. Firstly, to run DDoS attacks in order to verify that protection is working and that your IT is responding as expected....

A cam that can Webcams have become a hotbed of renewed interest among PC and accessory companies ramping up features such as resolution and AI-based color correction and framing. It’s also ramped up the level of interest in addressing old problems, such as improving the illusion of eye contact when one is facing the screen and not the camera. Indeed, while much of the work in improving under-display cameras, which must navigate the has focused on optimizing smartphone screen aesthetics uninterrupted by notches or punch holes, Microsoft recently shared that it is working overcoming the challenging solution that harnesses both topics and computation – in the hopes of embedding cameras in the center of a laptop’s display for more natural-looking video chats....

“Think of us as the cloud ecosystem champion,” Dell Technologies Asia Pacific and Japan global digital cities president Amit Midha told press during a briefing. “Think of us as delivering a better multi-cloud experience that truly works on behalf of the customer [and] that truly unleashes the value of data.” To build on that, Dell Technologies said it would expand its flagship Apex as-a-service portfolio, which was unveiled by the company last May, with the introduction of Apex Multi-Cloud Data Services and Backup Services....

Also: Docker 101: Why you should be using containers I’ve deployed hundreds of applications and services with this tool and found it to be an invaluable component of my everyday workflow. In many cases, deploying the containerized application via Docker is much faster and more reliable than deploying the same app/service manually. Ready? Let’s get to the installation. So, if RHEL-based distributions are your jam, leave well enough alone and stick with Podman....

Especially when they interrupt with some astonishing non-sequitur. You’re watching TV and chatting about the painfully demanding couple on House Hunters International when a distant voice pipes up: “The circumference of the Earth is 24,901 miles.” I suspect you pass off these apparent accidents as merely one of those things. Yet, as a new study from Northeastern University reveals, they’re one of those things that may happen with alarming regularity....

The news is important as drone operations will soon hit tens of thousands of flights per day, which is beyond human scale air traffic control operations. As airspace becomes more congested, autonomous drones need to be navigated separately, safely, and at broad scale to deconflict with one another and with manned aviation. DroneUp, which focuses on drone delivery services, is particularly interested in offering streamlined air traffic control for its delivery partners and to aid regulators in adopting drone delivery infrastructure....

While a lot remains unknown about the program (I mean, it could end up being little more than a PR stunt), people have already started asking the obvious question: Should I try to repair my iPhone? It’s a good question. First off, I’ve not seen the repair manual that Apple is planning to offer up, and neither have I seen the tools it will be selling for repairs. Information and tools can mean the difference between a successful repair and making things worse....
