Cut and paste in pane is screwed, and as with Vista, what is broken remains broken. Finding anything involved delving through multiple menu's, all designed not to be like previous versions. Its better than Vista, but not by very much. Most of the real Vista problems remain in 7. Being better than Vista makes people swoon, but then people said the same about ME.
I always like to delve into the bowels of any new Windows and find ancient blocky Windows 95 icons. Readers did question Microsoft's marketing strategy though, with Patrick O'Reilly hitting the nail on the head. Microsoft's cloudy storage platform, OneDrive, is a handy solution for mixed fleets. Using Windows and Mac hardware? No problem; a local-file-like experience is on hand for either environment Linux users, sadly, need not apply for the time being.
One facet of the OneDrive experience is Files On-Demand, where the content of files is not downloaded until needed for example, opening up a Word document. It saves disk space and means OneDrive only downloads what it needs when connected to the internet unless a user has manually specified that a file or folder be always available.
Dropbox's Smart Sync does something similar. Interview Supply chain woes continue to batter the tech industry but that didn't deter the makers of the diminutive Microlino from introducing a new electric vehicle amid a pandemic and chip shortage. We last looked at the Microlino in , when the bubble-like electric car was shown off at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Not that the two-passenger and three beer-crate Isetta-inspired vehicle would have won any prizes for velocity, thanks to a maximum speed of 90kph. Still, in a market awash with concepts and dreams that are far from production, the Microlino looked to us to be an intriguingly practical proposition for urban transport.
On Call A warning from the past in today's On Call. Helpfulness is not always rewarded with a pat on the back and a slap-up meal on expenses. Our tale comes from a reader Regomised as Derek and concerns his time working for a multinational with plants at multiple locations in the UK. A cry for help had to be answered within the hour.
One of the plants would start production at on Monday mornings, but started work four hours earlier to make sure things were up to speed. It had two main buildings. One was an office unit, housing the comms and server rooms. The other had an equipment room, with switches and patch panels as well as an operations room with client PCs and expensively large monitors. In conjunction with a White House meeting on Thursday at which technology companies discussed the security of open source software, Google proposed three initiatives to strengthen national cybersecurity.
The meeting was arranged last month by US national security adviser Jake Sullivan, amid the scramble to fix the Log4j vulnerabilities that occupied far too many people over the holidays. Sullivan asked invited firms — a group that included Amazon, Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle — to share ideas on how the security of open source projects might be improved.
Google chief legal officer Kent Walker in a blog post said that just as the government and industry have worked to shore up shoddy legacy systems and software, the Log4j repair process — still ongoing — has demonstrated that open source software needs the same attention as critical infrastructure. Apple's having a problem retaining top chip personnel, with the latest defection being CPU architect Mike Filippo going to Microsoft. As chief compute architect at Microsoft, Filippo will design server chips for the software giant, according to media reports.
The US Federal Communications Commission is considering imposing stricter rules requiring telecommunications carriers to report data breaches to customers and law enforcement more quickly. At the moment, companies have to wait seven business days before they can disclose a data breach to their customers. Under the new plan, the waiting period will be scrapped altogether so people can be notified sooner. Two serious security vulnerabilities were recently found in AWS services, but because they were responsibly reported and the cloud biz responded quickly, no harm appears to have been done.
On Thursday, Orca Security published details about Superglue and BreakingFormation , vulnerabilities in AWS Glue and AWS Cloud Formation that allowed attackers to access data for other customers and to access files and make server-side requests to internal web services infrastructure.
AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service for preparing data for subsequent processing. But thanks to an internal misconfiguration, Orca Security researchers were able to obtain more information than should have been allowed. Although the companies faced the highest attrition rates in three years and were forced to raise hiring targets, increasing use of technology during the pandemic has given a wide range of verticals a reason to shift from data centres to the cloud.
In turn, the pandemic's subsequent digitisation race has presented the IT consulting companies with a thriving market. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company TSMC will hike capital spending by a nearly third in to build out production capacity in the expectation that demand for chips keeps flooding in. The top line was driven by demand for semiconductors manufactured with TSMC's 5nm process technology. This contributed to 23 per cent of TSMC's total wafer revenue in the quarter, while those made using its 7nm process accounted for a further 27 per cent.
These advanced technologies therefore made up half of TSMC's total wafer revenue during the quarter. It appears that today's victim of the Chocolate Factory axeman is legacy Google Voice for personal accounts.
To be fair, and despite Google's apparent delight at killing off services , this one has been on the cards for a while, certainly since the company overhauled the user interface in with its "modern experience.
However, some users have stuck with the legacy web version of Voice despite warnings that bits of it would stop working in In July, the company said in a not-at-all-threatening manner:. Ukrainian police have arrested five people on suspicion of operating a ransomware gang, including a husband-and-wife team, following tipoffs from UK law enforcement. They claimed "more than 50" companies were targeted by the alleged gang, causing damage estimated at "more than one million US dollars.
