Microsoft Edge's latest update feels so much like Pinterest

Microsoft is taking Collections in a rather Pinterest-like direction. A new Microsoft Edge update promises several new organization features, an inspiration feed, and the ability to directly follow creators. In fact, Collections is getting the lion’s share of enhancements in the update. For those unaware, Collections allows you to pull together web pages, pictures, or videos from across the internet and stuff them into folders. The inspiration feed will show you tangentially related ideas from other websites. For example, you might have a series of food recipes saved. The new feed will show you other recipes to inspire you. Making collecting easier The announcement notes that the update will be released soon, but it appears some features are already live. Alongside the inspiration feed, users will be able to directly save images and videos to Collections by hovering over them and clicking the add button. It appears this feature only works on Bing search results. We tried saving...

Apple iPhone is officially 15. It was cooler when it was a baby

Image
The early days, when the iPhone was new, were special. 15 years ago, Steve Jobs and Apple engineered what could best be described as a hype beast of a product launch. First, Jobs unveiled the iPhone at Macworld in January 2007, but it would be months before the iPhone would officially launch. Whether by design or necessity, that delay turned out to be the best possible way to launch what would become a technological and cultural touchstone. Anticipation for availability details and the official launch date built and built until Apple announced and, naturally, the tech media reported it. Hype central turned out to be the one-year-old Apple Flagship Store on Fifth Ave. While I remember launch day, I don’t recall attending or even walking by. However, reports from the time described a line that literally ran down the front steps of the store and snaked around the block. There was media, and third-party companies trying to ride this cresting wave of excitement. It was pandemonium. Th...

Messenger chatbot abused to steal Facebook passwords

Image
A brand new phishing campaign leveraging chatbot software on Messenger has been uncovered by cybersecurity firm SpiderLabs. The goal of the campaign is to obtain people’s Facebook credentials and various other personal information, the researchers explained. At first, the victim receives an email, pretending to be from Facebook, claiming that their page is in violation of the site’s community standards and will be terminated in 48 hours.

Intel and AMD, take note: HPE just launched an Arm-based server with 128 cores

HPE has unveiled a new Arm-based server at its annual Discover event; the 11th-generation ProLiant RL300 runs on Altra and Altra Max processors from Ampere Computing, which also feature in Oracle and Azure cloud offerings. The RL300 server will be available in Q3 and is the first (and only) Arm-based product in HPE’s server portfolio (excluding the Apollo 80 which, with its Fujitsu A64FX, targets a very small niche). Geared towards cloud-native applications, the RL300 is a 1U, single-socket server with a chassis that can hold up to ten 2.5-inch storage drives ( SSD or HDD ) and 16 DIMM slots. Meanwhile, the Altra processor goes back to basics, with 1-core/1-thread running at constant speed; no multi threading, base speeds shenanigans, providing what HPE calls “predictable performance”. This is not HPE’s first Arm server; in its previous life, HP had a pet project called Moonshot that used Arm-based Calxeda chips, but things didn’t go to plan. The company will be hoping for be...

Firefox now blocks trackers with one simple trick

Image
Mozilla is rolling out Firefox version 102 which now has the ability to prevent websites from tracking you. The full patch notes can be seen on Mozilla's page , which states Firefox will now mitigate “query parameter tracking when navigating sites…” Query parameters are the string of characters that appear in a URL after a question mark and can be used to track people across the internet. These parameters are used to display targeted ads, for example. To illustrate how the new feature works, BleepingComputer created a test page where you can click on one of the links and see a URL that looks like this: “example.com/?mc_eid=12”. If you take that URL into the new Firefox browser, the characters after the question mark will be gone. You can update Firefox by going to the browser menu and locating About Firefox to begin updating. To activate the anti-tracking feature, you’ll have to go to the Privacy & Security tab in Firefox Settings. Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, ...

One of Discord's best features is coming to Facebook

Image
Meta has announced that it's currently working on a suite of new features for Facebook Groups which are intended to bring communities closer together, and some of them will be very familiar to users of the popular voice, video, and text chat app Discord . According to the announcement, admins will soon have the ability to create channels within their groups which allow them to interact in "smaller, more casual settings where they can have deeper discussions on common interests or organize their communities around topics in different formats." (Image credit: Meta) This will include new Discord-style community audio channels, which will allow admins and group members to "casually jump in and out of audio conversations in real time," along with regular text-based chat channels for those who are shy on the mic. In addition to the real-time audio and chat channels, Facebook Groups will also offer community feed channels, letting users interact and post c...

Spotify's new Supergrouper tool lets you create your dream team

Spotify is rolling out Supergrouper, a new feature for creating playlists and living out your supergroup fantasy. The idea behind Supergrouper is for users to imagine what it would be like if their favorite musical artists came together to form one giant band. But Songs aren’t going to be melded together to form a new song as you might think -- Stairway to Heaven merged with Adele? No thanks. Instead, the feature is essentially just an easier way to create playlists without having to pull together songs one by one. To create a playlist, you first have to go to the Supergrouper website on your mobile device. (Visit on a desktop or some other device and Spotify will just tell you to use your phone.) You can choose between three to five musical artists to make up the group. From there, name your newly christened supergroup and share it on social media. And if you’re stuck on what to include in the playlist, Spotify has a randomizer button near the top that’ll throw in an artist bas...

Insta360's tiny new camera can shoot 6K resolution videos

Big things really do come in eensy little packages: Insta360 has just revealed its new tiny 360-degree camera that can shoot videos in enormous 6K resolution. It’s called the ONE RS 1-inch 360 Edition , which is quite the mouthful. It's essentially a direct upgrade to Insta360’s ONE RS camera from March 2022. The new camera is split across five main parts: the 360-degree lens itself, a lens cap, a mounting bracket, a battery, and a ONE RS Core. The Core is what houses the major features, including a small screen to help set up a shot or configure the device. Compared to the older ONE RS model, the 360 Edition improves on three areas while migrating over notable features. Brand new features The biggest change comes in the form of two 1-inch CMOS sensors in the lens, which ensure that images come out as high quality as possible. These sensors let the camera record 360-degree videos in stunning 6K resolution and take photographs at 21MP. The 1-inch 360 Edition is also capable o...

Your Gmail inbox could soon be chock-full of political campaign emails

Political campaign emails could soon be safe from falling into Gmail spam folders if a new initiative from Google gets the green light. The technology giant has petitioned the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to approve a new pilot program that will make it less likely for such emails to end up marked as spam. The move could see Gmail inboxes flooded with political campaign emails, particularly as the United States gears up for a presidential election in 2024. Gmail political spam The filing, spotted by Axios , comes after complaints from the Republican party that Google unfairly filters more of its messaging than that of its Democratic rivals.  A  recent study  of 300,000 emails during the 2020 election claimed Gmail was 50% more likely to designate messages from Republicans as spam than those from Democrats.  The party introduced a bill earlier in June 2022 that, if passed, would require platforms such as Gmail to explain exactly how it filters out messa...

PS Plus Premium includes one of the best PS2 games in its line-up

Image
The all new PS Plus is here and it has an absolute gem of horror game waiting for you. PS Plus now offers three membership tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium.  The latter comes with all the perks you could ask for, and is the priciest of the bunch. One of these benefits is cloud streaming access to a whole horde of OG PlayStation, PS2, PS3, PS4, and PSP games.  Nestled amongst the PS2 titles is Siren. Or Forbidden Siren, depending on which region you're in. Released in 2003, some of you will definitely have slept on this one. Because you were either napping in a crib somewhere, or lining up at the spermatozoa starting line. But now's your chance to catch up with the rest of us, for less than $20 a month. What's Siren about? You know things are going to get freaky when Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama is involved. Toyama was at Siren's helm as director, as well as co-writing the game alongside fellow Silent Hill alum Naoko Sato. Exploring themes of isolat...

Is Apple about to make a laptop with a battery so good it can truly last all day?

Image
Since its announcements at WWDC 2022 , users have been wondering how much of an improvement the battery life is on laptops running the new M2 chip - well, it's already impressing testers. Both the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro were refreshed to have the M2 chip, the successor to Apple's Silicon efforts that it announced almost two years ago. The M1 chip and its subsequent spinoffs impressed with its speed, power and battery life, trouncing previous Macs with the Intel chips. However, in our early testing of the M2 MacBook Pro , it came out with battery life that could easily last the working day, coming out with results of over 15 hours of battery life.  While this is obviously impressive, I'm not tempted to start saving for an M2 MacBook Pro. Rather, it's the not-even-released M3 Pro chip in a future MacBook Pro that I'll be interested to look into more when the time comes. A 24-hour MacBook Pro doesn't seem far off (Image credit: TechRadar) Appl...

Riot Games will listen in on your voice chats. Here's why it doesn't matter

Maybe they're already on their best behavior? Developer Riot Games will soon be listening in on the voice chats of Valorant players, the company announced recently -- and most people are a-okay about that.  Starting July 13 , Riot will launch a “voice evaluation system” and record in -game voice chats whenever a disruptive behavior report is submitted by players. Riot says this will help to train its language model to identify disruptive behavior, and states the voice evaluation will not be used in the reports themselves. They know that “false positives [and negatives]” can happen, Riot admits. Cracking down on disruption Right now, the developer is focused on making its tech the best that it can be before it launches the official beta later this year. The new system will record only North American players, and only those speaking English. TechRadar has asked Riot if the beta has an exact launch date and if it plans on rolling out the evaluation system internationally, but we...

Korea's getting a cute Samsung/Starbucks collab, and we want it too

Never one to shy away from branded collaborations, Samsung is teaming up with Starbucks -- no, not the Battlestar Galactica character -- to release a new line of phone and earbud cases. Made out of a “eco-friendly material”, the phone cases will be for the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra, as reported by 9to5Google who translated the original post from Korean . The cases reflect Starbucks’ art style as it takes inspiration from the company’s branding. Certain items will be for certain phone models as they take their respective hardware into account. The Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus will share two cases inspired by the aprons that the baristas wear. Yes, really. One will have a simple Starbucks logo while the other will have a tagline that reads “Count Stars in Your Galaxy.” the S22 Ultra will have two cases that sport extra holes for the phone’s camera lenses. Both have a rear strap: one will be a caricature of the company logo while the other has a fake receipt. In addition to the...

Hackers are smuggling malware behind fake copyright infringement emails

Image
A new email campaign is seeking to encrypt as many endpoints with the Lockbit 2.0 ransomware as it can. Given the contents of the email being distributed, it would seem the campaign is aimed at webmasters and website owners. The email “warns” the victim that their website is hosting copyright-protected content, and that they’re infringing on that copyright. It also urges the victim to remove the content from their websites immediately, or face legal action. But here’s the big red flag - instead of simply listing the copyrighted content directly in the email, the contents are shared in a password-protected .ZIP archive.  Share your thoughts on Cybersecurity and get a free copy of the Hacker's Manual 2022 .

Intel’s modest Core i9 beats AMD’s latest 64-core monster CPU on Adobe benchmarks

Given the price of the new AMD Threadripper Pro , you’d expect the company’s finest HEDT processor to squash the competition ruthlessly. And it turns out that in most cases it generally does, except in a couple of rather important ones, according to the first comprehensive test carried out. US-based Pugetsystems , a popular workstation vendor, published a series of in-depth reviews of the Threadripper Pro 5995WX, 10 of them spanning across a number of applications, with Intel’s Xeon W-3300 standing in as a sparring partner.  Even with its 64-cores, the 5995WX couldn’t beat Intel’s Core i9-12900K in Adobe Premiere Pro , Adobe Lightroom Classic and in Adobe Photoshop while the two came very close on After Effects. Testing times The obvious conclusion is that if you plan to stick with Adobe Creative Cloud , Intel is probably the way to go. The 12900K is not even the fastest Intel HEDT processor right now, this title belongs to the 12950HX, launched in May 2022. For the rest o...

Samsung Galaxy S23 rumor hints that it won't use an under-display selfie camera

The rumors around the Samsung Galaxy S23 are starting to pick up pace, and the latest to come to our attention concerns the selfie camera: it sounds as though Samsung isn't going to move to an under-display camera on the front of the phone just yet. This comes from supply chain sources in South Korea (via Wccftech ), and it means the Galaxy S23 phones will still have punch hole notches in the display like their predecessors. We may have to wait for the Galaxy S24 for this particular component to be changed. There's no reason given for Samsung holding off on introducing a selfie camera under the screen, but there are plenty of possibilities: maybe Samsung isn't happy with the photo quality, or maybe it would push the price of the phone up too much. All about the selfies What makes this rumor slightly surprising is that there's a 4MP under-display camera embedded in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 . Samsung knows how to make the technology and to make it work, even if ...

GoPro Hero 11 Black: what we want to see

Image
The GoPro Hero 11 Black will almost certainly be GoPro's next flagship action camera. There are currently almost no reliable rumors about the upcoming camera, but a little informed digging around tells us a lot about what it may be like. So we've rounded up all of our thoughts, and wishes, in this Hero 11 Black deep dive.  Despite its likely arrival, it's quite possible that GoPro’s biggest news of this year won't have anything to do with the Hero 11 Black. Earlier this year, GoPro CEO Nick Woodman said the company plans to expand its range in 2022 , beyond the Black and Max lines we have today.  One of those new cameras is most likely the drone-friendly GoPro Hero 10 Black Bones . But could we also see a return of the White or Silver series? A new large-sensor GoPro Hero 'Platinum' to take on the 1-inch sensor action cameras from Insta360? Who knows, but we’ll be back with more on those future products as the information lands.  In the meantime, we're h...

Mars probe running Windows 98 receives software update after two decades

Patch management for the latest versions of Windows might the concern of most of us located here on Earth, but meanwhile, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft has received the first update to its Window 98-based system in 19 years. The mission was first launched to discover of signs of liquid water on Mars , including a suspected 20x30km lake of salty water buried under 1.5 km of ice in the red planet’s southern polar region. The updates were conducted by engineers from the  Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica  (INAF), Italy, and were fully funded by the  Italian Space Agency  (ASI). What does this mean? The agency said the upgrade will enable the spacecraft to view Mars and its moon Phobos with better levels of detail. The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding ( MARSIS ) instrument on Mars Express sends low-frequency radio waves down towards the planet using its 40-metre long antenna. Most of these waves are reflected...

Meta wants the virtual landscape to sound like real life

Meta and a group of researchers from the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) are working on bringing realistic audio to the metaverse. As Kristen Garuman, Research Director at Meta AI, explains , there’s more to augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR, respectively) than just visuals. Audio plays a very important role in making a world feel alive. Garuman says “audio is shaped by the environment that [it’s] in.” There are various factors that influence how sound behaves like the geometry of a room, what’s in said room, and how far someone is from a source. To achieve this, Meta's plan is to use AR glasses to record both audio and video from one location, then using a set of three AI models, transform and clean the recording so it feels like it's happening in front of you when you play it back at home. The AIs will take into account the room that you're in so it can match the environment.  Looking at the projects, it appears Meta is focusing on AR glasses. Meta...
