Except that button you think is a power button – presumably because you press it to turn the iPhone on – is not a power button but a “side button.” And pressing that side button on newer handsets doesn’t turn them off. Instead, it brings up Siri. This explains the question that just dropped into my inbox: How in the name of the power button’s ghost do your turn an iPhone off?...

There will be customers who prefer to spend their time online, those who enjoy interacting in the real world, and those who seek hybrid experiences where something new emerges in the middle. The most certain way to grow in a post-pandemic economy is to organize around customers and the insights that reveal behaviors, preferences, and expectations as tastes, times, and trends change. Regardless of buying paradigms and platforms, digital-first behaviors have permanently shifted from 2019-2022....

Meng was allowed to return to China after she reached an agreement with United States prosecutors to admit to misleading global financial institutions. “In entering into the deferred prosecution agreement, Meng has taken responsibility for her principal role in perpetrating a scheme to defraud a global financial institution,” Eastern District of New York Acting Attorney-General Nicole Boeckmann said in a statement. “Her admissions in the statement of facts confirm that, while acting as the chief financial officer for Huawei, Meng made multiple material misrepresentations to a senior executive of a financial institution regarding Huawei’s business operations in Iran in an effort to preserve Huawei’s banking relationship with the financial institution....

It’s a setup that people may look to as their only computer. But if that’s the case, they are going to have to get used to HarmonyOS, an operating system and services suite that Huawei developed after being shut out of Google Mobile Services in a dispute with the US. This matters because familiar ways of working may have to be set aside, and familiar applications given up for alternatives....

But rather than put them on my precious items, I wanted to test to see just how good they were. I documented a couple of tests here and here. One of my AirTags is chilling in a small Scottish village where I’m testing its weather durability (I’ll pick it up on my way back home, if I remember), and the other one… well, that one got lost. Also: AirTags review: Tile trounced by the power of Apple’s Find My network I’d been testing whether an iPhone in a car could pick up on an AirTag left on the side of the road....

To help businesses survive the stay-at-home orders and other effects of local quarantines, the US government passed the CARES Act, which in part includes the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Main Street Lending Program (MSLP). To access the government-backed loans these programs provide, businesses must apply through an approved lending institution. Banks and other additional approved lenders do the work of accepting applications, evaluating needs, setting terms, and transferring funds, while the SBA and Treasury Department approve lenders and establish the rules....

For people stuck at home looking for something to do, it might seem like a good way to fill a few hours, but at a time when people are being encouraged to work from home and to self-isolate, and during a period when Apple Stores are shut, is it a good idea to be applying patches that could make the device you are relying on for work go flaky? Being in the UK and under a government-mandated self-isolation lockdown, of course I did downloaded and installed the updates on everything....

Labor Senator Kim Carr said his party would block the Bill as it does not actually address online trolling and may exacerbate its effects. “Evidence from multiple witnesses appearing before this Committee, including the government department that drafted the bill, conclusively establishes that the bill is no such thing,” Labor Senators Kim Carr wrote in a report [PDF] published by the Senate committee tasked with reviewing the laws. “To the contrary, not only does this Bill fail to provide any practical means to combat the scrouge of online trolling, in providing blanket protection from liability to those hosting defamatory comments on the web pages they own and administer, as well as the extensive legal safe harbor it provides to social media companies hosting defamatory material, the bill is likely to make the problem of online trolling worse....

The new framework pairs Lenovo tablets with PCs through a six-digit pin input, which then allows users to extend a PC desktop onto a tablet. Where Project Unity differs from other wireless connectivity frameworks in the market, Lenovo said, is that tablets will still be able to work natively when acting as an additional display for a PC. “The Android tablet still works natively; no other solution on the market has this, either it takes over the whole screen, or you have the Android tablet itself....

Announced on Tuesday (29), the policy change follows the exclusion of a job opening by the Center for the Analysis of Freedom and Authoritarianism (Laut). In the job posting, the Brazilian organization expressed that preference would be given to black and indigenous candidates in the selection process. After the job vacancy was removed – on the basis that LinkedIn’s policy prohibits discrimination in job postings based on characteristics such as age, gender, disability, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation – the platform received a barrage of criticisms from its Brazilian users and had to provide explanations to the authorities....

If they pass the assessments, they will be slotted to speak with the recruiter....

NCSC calls Log4Shell “potentially the most severe computer vulnerability in years” and called upon company boards to treat this bug with urgency. It stresses the Log4j bug – also known as Log4Shell – is a software component rather than a piece of software, which means it will be much more complicated to patch. Log4Shell is bad news today and will likely lurk in enterprise systems for years despite major efforts from the US government, big tech and open-source contributors to address flaws in the original Log4J version 2 project, its implementation in major software products, and its deployment in hundreds of millions of enterprise applications, servers and internet-facing devices....

That’s the conclusion of The Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), a group established in February on the back of US President Joe Biden’s cybersecurity executive order, which demanded a national response to major cybersecurity incidents.

The board’s report and recommendations are out now via the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)....
