It’s this “dark” coax that the NexusLink G.HN Wave 2 Ethernet Over Coax Adapter makes use of to quickly, cheaply expand your wired home networking options. If you live in a home already wired for Ethernet, or you’ve spent thousands of dollars to add it, you likely don’t need this product. But if you’re in the situation the vast majority of us find ourselves in, these adapters could save you time and money by turning that dark coax into a valuable networking asset....

The larger the network, the more opportunities there may be for threat actors to infiltrate, cause damage, or conduct theft. Today’s corporate networks often provide a vast attack surface, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices, mobile products, remote work tools, on-prem and off-prem services, and cloud systems. It may be a challenge for businesses to work out what the most important areas are in terms of cybersecurity investment, but a new computational model could take out some of the guesswork....

Once the new instance was installed, I rebooted and logged in. To my surprise, nearly all of the desktop elements were present. I had a dock (Latte dock) and a top panel. With those elements in place, the desktop was nearly perfect. However, the one thing that seemed to be missing (which was also missing in the original installation) was window title bars (seemed being the operative word). As you can see, neither Firefox nor the terminal window has title bars in this image....

The legal spat between the companies arose last year when Fortnite was booted off Apple and Google’s app stores for introducing a new payment system that sidestepped the tech giants’ payment systems and in-app purchase commissions. Shortly after receiving the boot, Epic Games filed antitrust lawsuits against both Apple and Google across numerous jurisdictions, including in Australia. In all those lawsuits, Epic Games has accused the tech giants of conducting anti-competitive and monopolistic practices due to their 30% commission fee structures....

The warning comes following the discovery of an email phishing campaign that tricks victims into downloading legitimate remote monitoring and management (RMM) software, which allows attackers to gain access to bank accounts. Also: These experts are racing to protect AI from hackers. Time is running out Crucially, it does so without triggering antivirus alerts because the RMM tool is a genuine application with a verified case for use – and that’s something that cyber criminals can exploit as a workaround, rather than attempting to trick victims into downloading malware that could set off warnings....

In partnership with the Associated Press, Citizen Lab revealed on Thursday that Polish Senator Krzysztof Brejza was hacked using NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware 33 times between April 26, 2019 and October 23, 2019. Brejza helped run the opposition campaign against the right-wing government of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki that is currently in power. Doctored photos from Brejza’s smartphone falsely implicated him in several scandals and were shared by government-backed news outlets....

Rather than a bug bounty, Google’s latest investment – a part of its $10 billion pledge to President Biden’s cybersecurity push – seeks to address potential security issues before they become bugs through improvements in hardening software against attacks. Dubbed Secure Open Source (SOS), the pilot program run by the Linux Foundation, “financially rewards developers for enhancing the security of critical open-source projects”. SEE: Don’t want to get hacked? Then avoid these three ’exceptionally dangerous’ cybersecurity mistakes The rewards range from “$10,000 or more” for hardening software in a way that prevents major bugs to $505 for “small improvements” that have merit, according to a Google blogpost....

The multi-platform web browser company said in its announcement on Wednesday that the new browser, known as the Crypto Browser Project, is available in beta on Windows, Mac, and Android, with an iOS version coming soon. The browser has Web3 integration at its core to make it easier to work with blockchain. “Too few of the web browsing experiences offered today have been built with the intention of putting Web3 centerstage and making blockchain technologies understandable and easy to use,” the company said....

I know my kids, who are in elementary, middle and high school, all use some sort of learning app or service each week, if not daily, to complete various lessons. Their digital learning isn’t anywhere near the same level as it was during the pandemic when schools were closed, but it’s clear that digital learning is here to stay. Also: Best kids’ headphones according to parents and experts Over the years, my wife and I have bought countless headphones for our kids....

Those laws were originally drafted to be wider in scope, with Home Affairs proposing other obligations for organisations within critical infrastructure sectors. Provisions seeking to enshrine those obligations were eventually set aside, however, with the federal government deciding to follow a recommendation made by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) to have those omitted aspects introduced under a second Bill. That second Bill, Security Legislation Amendment (Critical Infrastructure Protection) Bill 2022, was introduced into Parliament by Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews last week....

There are also key differences between Protection One’s services and those with a greater focus on DIY installation methods like Ring, SimpliSafe, and Abode. In order to suss all the features that make Protection One really stand out in a saturated home security market that’s shifting toward DIY interest, we dug into the fine print and stacked it against three other companies and evaluated its pros – like a burglary or fire-related insurance deductible reimbursement – and its cons, which include lengthy, rigid contracts and less wiggle room for third-party integration and savings....

Currently in 5G deployments around the world, telcos are using spectrum originally allocated for 4G, also called sub-6GHz, and are starting to throw in some mmWave connectivity. With the 6GHz anchor, overall speeds cannot match the speeds the 5G hype machine generated. Doing away with sub-6GHz, Qualcomm has hit 8.3Gbps in a lab where it aggregated eight channels of 100MHz in the 26GHz band using its X70 modem announced earlier this year and currently available as samples to customers....

Today, Razer finally took the wraps off of its answer to all those requests: the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition. What Razer has created is one of the most intriguing mice it’s released in years, but it may not be for everyone. Also: Here’s everything Razer announced at CES 2023 The first thing you’ll notice is use of a perforated shell for weight reduction has been taken to the extreme here....

A few useful data points to consider in this context: Two-thirds of tech workers are either already seeking new jobs or are open to movingThree-quarters of tech workers who actually changed jobs last year had two other offers (and here are the developer skills most in-demand, in case you’re wondering)There are already 2.5 million open cybersecurity jobs across the world: it would take the entire population of a city the size of Chicago to fill them...

ABB Robotics has signed an agreement to collaborate with California-based Zume, which makes the compostable packaging that’s becoming more commonplace as an alternative to plastics. ABB’s robotic cells will help Zume speed up and scale production of 100% compostable packaging made from plant-based agricultural material. The stats on single-use plastic are grim. Currently, less than 10% of the 380 million tons of plastic produced globally every year is recycled. But the winds are slowly changing as global brands recognize the need for sustainability in the face of consumption and governmental pressure....

In other words, Russia has not been disconnected from the net. Ironically, the most significant interference with Russians reaching the world via the internet doesn’t come from outside Russia but from within Russia itself. Russia has blocked Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Russia is also trying to set up its own alternative to the Domain Name System (DNS). This is the internet’s universal address system. Russia is also attempting to create its own TLS certificate authority (CA)....

If that sounds interesting today, it was probably ahead of its time then. The acquisition propelled Socher to Chief Data Scientist at Salesforce, leading more than 100 researchers and many hundreds of engineers working on applications that were deployed at Salesforce scale and impact. AI became an integral part of Salesforce’s efforts, mainly via Salesforce Einstein, a wide-ranging initiative to inject AI capabilities into Salesforce’s platform. Besides market-oriented efforts, Salesforce also sponsors “AI for good” initiatives....

During the South Korean tech giant’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Wednesday, Samsung Device Experience division CEO JH Han said the company failed to appreciate customer concerns over the issue and bowed in apology. Consumer complaints reached a boiling point earlier this month with allegations that the Game Optimisation Service (GOS) app on the Galaxy S22 series was throttling the performance of numerous apps on the phones. In response, Samsung had claimed that GOS only limits the performance of gaming apps and was installed for safety, but issued a software update last week that gave customers an option to prioritise performance....

But competition is fierce, and Samsung’s newly-announced Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra carries a spec sheet and several productivity features that may just be enough to take a bite out of Apple. Whether you’re a graphics designer, content creator, or mobile gamer, two of your best options for large-screen tablets are Samsung’s latest and Apple’s greatest. While this comparison analyzes the key differences between the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and iPad Pro (12....

The Samsung ViewFinity S9, (model S90PC) is “optimized for creative professionals such as graphic designers and photographers” the company says, and promises 5,120 x 2,880 resolution, a near-full color gamut of 99% DCI-P3, and a factory-set delta E score of less than or equal to 2. Samsung explains that Delta E is the standard calculation metric which correlates the human visual judgment of differences between two perceived colors: Delta E equal or less than 2 color accuracy means achieving better than the eye can see color difference....
