Apple TV 4K gets even better while becoming more affordable
Apple TV is more expensive than competing media boxes such as Roku and Amazon Fire TV. As the old adage says, however, "you get what you pay for." In other words, the premium you pay for an Apple TV device is absolutely worth it. It is far superior to all competitors.
The newest Apple TV remote is brilliant, the tvOS interface is easy to use, and the device has some powerful hardware under the hood thanks to Apple's excellent in-house processors. If you use other Apple products such as iPhone and/or iPad, you would be foolish not to go with Apple TV. It really is that good.
Microsoft starts to roll out the Windows 10 2022 Update (22H2) -- Here's how to get it
Windows 11 users may have already been offered the Windows 11 2022 Update (aka Windows 11 22H2) as that was released a month ago.
Windows 10 users haven’t been forgotten however -- although it may sometimes feel like they have -- as today the software giant announces the availability of the Windows 10 2022 Update (22H2).
Apple unveils redesigned iPad and next generation iPad Pro with M2 Chip
A month ago, Apple took the wraps off its new range of iPhones. I was impressed enough to shell out on an iPhone 14 Pro, although it seems like it might not be quite as durable as advertised.
Today, with little fanfare, Apple announces new versions of both the iPad and the iPad Pro.
New durability tests show Apple iPhone 14 prone to significant damage when dropped
I recently upgraded to the iPhone 14 Pro, and one of the first things I did was to drop it. Not on purpose, or as part of some amazing durability test, but just because I was juggling too many things at once, and the most expensive thing that I was holding (by some way!) was the thing that hit the deck.
Fortunately, it sustained no damage, but not every clumsy iPhone owner will be as lucky.
Charging your phone -- and why you may be doing it wrong
The trouble with mobile phones is they rely on a battery and you can almost guarantee that with today's high-res screens and power-hungry applications it never seems to be fully charged when you want it to be.
If you want to avoid waiting for a charge to complete or using your phone while tethered to a wall socket, the team at charger specialist MAGFAST has created an infographic with tips to help you ensure your phone charges faster.
96 percent of known open source vulnerabilities can be easily avoided
With more open source being consumed than ever before, attacks targeting the software supply chain have increased too, both in frequency and complexity. A new report reveals a 633 percent year on year increase in malicious attacks aimed at open source in public repositories -- this equates to a 742 percent average yearly increase in software supply chain attacks since 2019.
The latest State of the Software Supply Chain Report from Sonatype, released today at the DevOps Enterprise Summit, also finds that 96 percent of open source Java downloads with known-vulnerabilities could have been avoided because a better version was available, but was ignored.
Enterprises expect passwordless access to be the leading approach within five years
A new survey of over 300 IT professionals with responsibility for workforce identities and their security in large organizations shows that 87 percent expect passwordless solutions will become the leading approach to secure workforce identities within five years.
The study by Dimensional Research for Secret Double Octopus looks at perceptions and adoption of newer FIDO2-certified enterprise passwordless solutions, and the impact of single sign-on portal and endpoint biometric-based 'passwordless-like' experiences.
New version of Windows 95 runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, with dedicated builds for ARM-based systems
I hated Windows 95 when I first used it back in 1995, purely because it was so different from what I was used to. I soon came to realize the error of my ways and it introduced many of the features we still use today, including a desktop, taskbar and Start button.
Slack developer Felix Rieseberg released Windows 95 as an Electron app four years ago, updating it shortly afterwards to allow it to run gaming classics like Doom. Now he rolls out a new version which can run on any Windows, Mac or Linux system.
Microsoft releases out-of-band KB5020387 update to fix TLS handshake issues in Windows 11
It may be the middle of the month, but that hasn't stopped Microsoft releasing an important update for various versions of Windows, including the KB5020387 update for Windows 11.
The updates fix a TLS handshake issue that causes SEC_E_ILLEGAL_MESSAGE errors. In all, there are seven non-security updates available for Windows, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2022.
Rapper Kanye West plans to buy Parler
Is Kanye West (aka Ye) mentally ill? While I am not qualified to determine such a diagnosis, it does seem that way to me. That is purely my opinion. He is certainly erratic and prone to posting inflammatory statements.
Over on Twitter, West recently declared in a now deleted tweet "I’m going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE." Yes, the self-proclaimed "genius" showed his stupidity by confusing "death con" and "DEFCON." That ugly tweet is not up for interpretation -- it is pure hate. And it is unacceptable, which is why Twitter temporarily suspended Kanye West's account.
DevOps pros want to reduce reliance on single cloud providers
More than half (53 percent) of DevOps professionals in a new study say they will consider multicloud architecture to reduce reliance on a specific cloud provider.
The survey of over 700 development professionals and leaders from Techstrong Research finds that the cloud landscape is changing as buyers increasingly put the developer experience on the same footing as core technical and performance capabilities of cloud infrastructure services.
Windows 23 (2023) could be the perfect Microsoft operating system
Microsoft recently began rolling out the Windows 11 2022 Update, which makes the current operating system a lot more useful.
That doesn’t mean that people aren’t looking to the future, and what comes next for Windows. Late last year we heard that the software giant was already beginning work on Windows 11’s successor and if you were wondering how it might look, we have the answer.
Online ad fraud, why it's such a problem and what to do about it [Q&A]

We spoke to Jacob Loveless, CEO of eCommerce specialist Edgemesh, to find out more about why ad fraud has become such an issue and what businesses can do to combat it.
Crisis to opportunity: How businesses can succeed in uncertain times
The current generation of business leaders are not new to significant disruption, whether it be the dotcom crash, the 2008 financial crisis or the Great Recession that followed. Few of these, however, have had a larger impact than the COVID-19 pandemic. Overnight, businesses had to shift their entire business models, offices became obsolete and even the most technologically immature businesses were forced to revolutionize their capabilities.
For many, the pandemic was a time to pause, contemplate and detach from the intensity of working life. Yet history has shown us time and time again that disruption births creativity and success. Crisis always presents opportunities.
Hit the snooze button farmers: The huge potential of applying AI to agriculture
A custom smart farming system can help gather valuable data, provide actionable outcomes, and save farmers significant time, money, and resources.
In recent years, a significant number of agriculture businesses have considered moving from human-reliant farming to autonomous farm management systems. The growing trust between agribusinesses and technology companies, as well as a rich arsenal of technologies that can accommodate the needs of farms, are the two major factors that enable this transformation.
