From oil pipelines, to meat works, to a more traditional Russian-backed phishing campaign, the cyberdial has been turned up and the frequency of attacks, particularly in the ransomware space, has hit deluge-like levels. And yet, while the torrent of malware is far from unexpected, people lining up with jerry cans and fighting with each other because someone might have clicked on a dodgy email certainly is. The need to develop a better foundation, and more secure ways of computing, would appear to be more necessary than ever – but not at the CSIRO, where artificial intelligence is the order of the day....

The lab is part of the AI for Workforce Program.

Installing your internet service costs money, too. Installation fees can cost up to $200. Self-installation is the cheaper end of the spectrum — it’s free with providers like CenturyLink but could cost you as much as $35 with AT&T. If you self-install, you’ll receive everything in the mail and follow instructions to plug in and connect your service. Professional installations are sometimes required and always more expensive ($50-$200). Many promotional packages for new customers waive the installation fees, and if you don’t see a deal online, we’d recommend calling a representative....

Software like iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and WatchOS 8 that’s not publicly available yet. As the event ended, it was clear Apple wasn’t going to announce a release date during the virtual event.

As part of the project, high-resolution cameras and GPS sensors will be attached to Brimbank’s garbage trucks to collect 3D perception data at a rate of 900Mbps. Data that is captured through the cameras and sensors will then be sent in real time to a cloud-based system to create a map of assets that require maintenance, such as road signs, bus shelters, or damaged roads. Maintenance teams will be able to access the information directly on their phones and upload proof of maintenance performed on the spot....

For years, iPhone users have been asking for one thing: an iPhone with a better battery life. The iPhone 13 delivered on this. As someone who has been an iPhone Pro Max user since the Pro Max line was released, the iPhone 13 Pro Max offers significant and noticeable battery life improvements. And that’s a key: noticeable. In previous years Apple has talked about improved battery life in vague terms, and what they delivered was similarly vague....

Privacy expert Max Schrems and his advocacy group NOYB – which submitted the original complaint against Facebook – published a draft decision from the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) about the issue that was sent to the other European Data Protection Authorities.

Some owners love it, some hate it. And some owners love it, but their partners hate the fact that there’s a glowing iPhone on the nightstand at night. Yeah, that can be annoying. But there is a fix.

Update: Apple now lets you tame the Always-On Display According to Apple support, there are a number of situations where the display is supposed to darken automatically to prevent it from being annoying....

Analysis by cybersecurity and bug bounty company HackerOne suggests that almost two-thirds of organisations maintain a culture of cybersecurity through obscurity, hoping that weaknesses and vulnerabilities will remain undetected or simply won’t cause issues. But by choosing to ignore vulnerabilities, organisations are leaving themselves open to cyberattacks and other security issues. Also: Cybersecurity: Let’s get tactical (ZDNet special report) Unpatched security vulnerabilities are one of the most common weaknesses exploited by cyber criminals to successfully hack networks and software....

It’s always been possible to run Linux graphical programs such as the GIMP graphics editor, Evolution e-mail client, and LibreOffice on WSL. But it wasn’t easy. You had to install a third-party X Window display server, such as the VcXsrv Windows X Server in Windows 10, and then do some tuning with both Windows and Linux to get them to work together smoothly. The X Window System underlies almost all Linux graphical user interfaces....
