“Australian universities have a critical role in designing a prosperous Australian future – something we always need to remember – and part of that is ensuring a diverse and well-skilled Australian space workforce, noting that we’re expected to deliver roughly 20,000 jobs by 2030 … and if we work in a zero-sum mentality, we will fail,” warned Schmidt, speaking at the Airbus Team Maier event on Monday evening. “So, each of us need to work as part of the ‘Team Australia’ ecosystem....

Fast forward to 2021, and Apple’s AirPods have spurred the creation of completely wireless buds from nearly every major tech company – and even smaller ones. For its part, Apple has released the AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and, more recently, the 3rd generation AirPods. The newest model boasts a completely new design and new features that were once reserved for its more expensive AirPods. At $179, the base model AirPods saw a small price increase, with Apple keeping the 2nd generation AirPods in the lineup at $129....

The feature simply refused to turn on, forcing you to enter your PIN code when out in public constantly. After updating to iOS 15, some users started to see prompts stating their iPhone’s storage was nearly full when they had plenty of space left. According to the release notes, that’s been fixed as well. Here’s the full changelog from iOS 15.0.1: Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch may not work on iPhone 13 modelsSettings app may incorrectly display an alert that storage is fullAudio meditations could unexpectedly start a workout on Apple Watch for some Fitness+ subscribers...

The update for my iPhone 13 Pro Max wasn’t very big – coming in at 385MB. Without more details in the changelog than call performance improvements, I don’t expect there to be any other notable tweaks or changes. Maybe some performance and bug fixes that weren’t worth mentioning, but that’s about it. It actually appears that the update is only available for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. I personally haven’t had any issues with dropped calls on the iPhone 12 Pro or my iPhone 13 Pro Max since upgrading....

Phone case maker Burga crunched the numbers and worked out that Apple will lose about $3 million a day in iPhone sales alone. This means some $1.1 billion over a year. A drop in the ocean for Apple, a company that generated revenues of $123.9 billion last quarter alone. But it’s important to remember that there’s more at stake here than iPhone sales. First, consider growth. Smartphone sales, and in parallel, iPhone sales, have been rising steadily in Russia over the past few years, growing some 200% between 2014 and 2021....

As ZDNet’s David Gewirtz related last month, speculation has been running hot for a long time now that Apple is going to offer some sort of VR, or augmented reality, or “mixed reality” headsets or goggles, rumored to be “Apple Glass.” The three patent applications describe, respectively, ways to detect which way a person is looking when wearing a headset using infrared light; adjusting the resolution of an image a person sees to mimick the eye’s “foveation”; and a system for compensating motion sickness when a person is riding in a car looking into a VR screen....

Also like Ekso, Wandercraft narrowed its focus with its first commercial product and is targeting the therapeutic healthcare market (Ekso has since branched into industrial markets, including auto manufacturing)....

Starting with these new devices, Samsung said it plans to incorporate repurposed ocean-bound plastics into its entire mobile product lineup. The new product design is part of Samsung’s ongoing effort to eliminate single-use plastics and expand the use of other eco-conscious materials, such as recycled post-consumer material (PCM) and recycled paper. It falls under Samsung’s Galaxy for the Planet initiative, which is focused on reducing the company’s environmental footprint and supporting sustainable lifestyles....

Now, years later, the issue has finally been resolved. On January 24, 2022, the Netfilter project announced a legally binding settlement with McHardy....

SecureKey’s software includes identity and authentication management processes – connecting consumers to banks, telecommunications firms, and government agencies – to “securely and privately authenticate with, and assert their identities for accessing, the services of participating organizations....
