Target has an expansive catalog of items on sale, but we only picked items that have at least a 20% discount since we know there’s lots of gift-giving going on. We included all kinds of devices, from smartwatches to TVs and wireless headphones. So, if you’re looking for a discount, we’ve got you covered. If you’re doing all or most of your holiday shopping at Target, it’s important to know that the prices included in this list are how much you’ll pay if you buy the item online, and prices will vary if you decide to buy an item in-store....
For example, The Future of Work in Financial Services: Remote or In-Office?, with data collected by Atomik Research and sponsored by enterprise video platform maker Vidyard, found that a whopping 96% of financial services professionals would give up a percentage of their salaries to work from home permanently. Yet, while employees would prefer to remain remote, 86% of them still fear that doing so would result in missed opportunities and perks at the office....
(A screenshot from a United ad.) Their chosen method, most often, has been not to communicate with their customers at all. They prefer telling them that hold times for customer service will be four hours. Or more. So, good luck. I was moved, then, by the behavior of one United Airlines captain who believes he should welcome passengers in a very particular way. Captain Dave Tuck doesn’t sound like any ordinary captain....
At the heart of the problem is telcos interpreting record keeping rules over coverage in different ways. Optus and TPG mostly do it with predicted outdoor coverage on a standard handset, while Telstra predicts coverage based on having an external antenna. The telcos need to use prediction because objects such as buildings, walls, and fallen trees, can get between the user and the tower, lowering the signal received. Each telco also has differing inputs and assumptions in its prediction....
The Desorden Group – which claimed responsibility for both attacks – contacted ZDNet and said part of why they conducted the second attack was to prove their point “that Acer is way behind in its cybersecurity effects on protecting its data and is a global network of vulnerable servers.” Acer spokesman Steven Chung told ZDNet that the company recently detected “an isolated attack on our local after-sales service system in India and a further attack in Taiwan....
The page even boasts an Nvidia discrete GPU that the Swift 5 series doesn’t have. But scroll down, and under the fold lies a feature that seems to be made for a planet battling a pandemic – an antimicrobial solution. The short version is the laptop has a silver ion coating on the chassis and screen, which is claimed to reduce the amount of bacteria on the laptop’s surfaces....
After the spacecraft’s successful July 4 deployment from the Rocket Lab Lunar Photon, CAPSTONE’s communications with NASA went down. At 9:26 am ET on July 6, the space agency re-established contact with the spacecraft and concluded CAPSTONE remains in good health and on the right path to the Moon. The CAPSTONE mission is a key step in advancing NASA’s Artemis program, which will culminate with NASA landing the first woman and first person of color on the Moon....
On Wednesday, AI startup Cerebras Systems was honored for carrying on that tradition in a ceremony at The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. The Museum has put up a display featuring the “Wafer-Scale Engine 2,” or WSE-2, the second version of the company’s AI chip that is the biggest computer chip ever made. The chip was introduced last year to run new versions of Cerebras’s supercomputer, the CS-2....
Intel on Tuesday gave three students a high-profile platform at Intel Vision 2022. These young innovators all chose to share how they’d use technology to address healthcare challenges. They envision a world where tech can improve healthcare access and equity, identify biomarkers of disease before long-term debilitating illness takes hold, and empower the visually impaired with tools that can enhance their sensory experiences. The students were among about 230 innovators from 20 countries....
Wonderful things happen businesses appreciates the power of IT. This is now evident through a report published by PwC, which shows positive correlations when IT and business professionals put their collective heads together. PwC’s survey, based on the responses of 1,040 business leaders and 210 IT leaders, reveals that “Digital IQ leaders” were more likely to invest in cloud technologies, including enterprise applications, infrastructure, and development platforms. These Digital IQ leaders account for about one-fifth of all surveyed tech execs; PwC defines them as leaders “who see eye to eye with their business peers....
“The Trusted Cloud Principles will help safeguard the interests of organisations and the basic rights of individuals using cloud services so that they can accomplish what they need in a safe and secure way,” the signatories said in a statement. “This initiative is more important today than ever … when some governments come directly to providers like us for access to customer data without their knowledge – in some cases for legitimate reasons but in other cases for reasons that could hinder basic human rights – it creates a tension that needs to be addressed through both technology and policies....
First, Row and Cell-Level Security for Lake Formation “puts the right data in the hands of the right people,” AWS CEO Adam Selipsky said during his AWS re:Invent keynote address. Lake Formation already enables customers to move data into S3 data lakes, clean, and classify it using machine learning and secure access to sensitive data. The new tool now lets customers enforce access controls for individual rows and cells. Instead of creating multiple tables for each user and managing data pipelines, a customer can define a set of policies for specific rows for specific users....
The original Echo Show, introduced almost exactly four years ago, had a 7-inch 1024x600 screen. The first generation Echo Show 8, introduced in November of 2019, had an 8-inch 1280x800 screen. Technically, the screen on that first generation Echo Show 8 was a bit bigger, and the resolution a bit better than the original Echo Show, but if you look at the one that lives on top of our water heater in the laundry room and then look at the one that lives on top of our microwave, the only way you’d be able to tell is take out a ruler and measure it....
It’s brought your shopping to your door, so that you don’t have to move. It’s put a camera on your doorbell, so that you can become a passive police officer. Why, it’s even happy to see its last CEO being sent up into space, just so that he can coldly look down on his subjects from an even greater height. Oh, but it’s never enough in the tech world, is it?...
Both Intel and AMD have their fans, but beyond brand loyalty, are there any differences between the processors? The faster the processor, the faster the PC will usually be. Well, yes… and no. Let’s start with that no. At the time of writing, the fastest desktop processor is the 64-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX. But this is a high-end desktop (HEDT) processor aimed at workstations running heavy workloads. They’ll both run Windows 11....
This may, at least partly, be because four big airlines own more than 80% of all America’s seats. It may also be because these four airlines tend to run their businesses with very little room for maneuver when things go awry. Still, one of the raunchiest debates currently is whether business travel will ever return. Or should that be “return”? Some believe Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex and their brethren have become so ingrained in our business lives that they now masquerade as natural behavior....
It’s because everyone on the street has them, and you’ll be darned if you’re going to be left behind in the surveillance game. Yes, you might be helping the police along the way, but you’ll also be able to see who comes to your door from miles away. And haven’t we always wanted to do that? I was uplifted to thoughts of taking a smiling selfie, therefore, when I saw how a smaller video doorbell rival was approaching its marketing....
One or two people might suggest that, with the current pandemic, this idea was mere madness. We, though, wanted to see what traveling abroad and working abroad truly meant right now. The first step was booking flights. We chose Lisbon simply because we love Lisbon. (It’s that rare example of peaceful, decent civilization in a world gone twisted.) Not so long ago, the Portuguese national airline, TAP, instituted direct flights from San Francisco to Lisbon....
But sometimes this goes too far. For example, I’ve come across several Android smartphones where the USB-C port is too small to accept regular cables. To make use of the port, you have to use the included cable. Lose that and you either have to buy another extended tip low-profile cable or extender adapter, or hack at the connector of a regular USB-C cable and hope you don’t destroy it in the process....
