As noted by XDA, Checkra1n was the first jailbreak to work on iOS 13 devices, using an exploit targeting a flaw in the Boot ROM of Apple hardware rather than a flaw in iOS itself; this allows it to continue to work despite software updates. The caveat is that you need to re-perform the jailbreak upon every reboot. While at first the jailbreak was only possible on MacOS, it recently made its way over to Linux, opening up the possibility of performing a jailbreak on non-Apple devices....

The term “social media addiction” is being increasingly used to describe people who spend a lot of time on these websites and apps. Doing so can be harmful to people in a variety of ways – causing low self esteem, bad sleep and increasing stress. The main focus when considering addiction to substances tends to be on three key elements: compulsion (or loss of control), tolerance (needing to increase amount to achieve the same effect) and withdrawal (unpleasant side effects when use stops)....

These questions come up in every project. You could be starting a new job or working on a different project at your current company. Regardless, here are a few things I’ve learned you should bring up in transfer meetings. Know what it’s supposed to do What exactly is this application used for and who uses it? It might sound ridiculous, but this can be overlooked or misunderstood in the beginning....

Because they’re all writing sloppy code that works. That is, code that works now but that is not very expandable or versatile due to its messiness. Except for Computer Scientists — they write beautiful code that doesn’t work. Reason 1: For Computer Scientists, coding is an art. For everyone else, it’s a tool Computer Scientists code because they want to code. Everyone else codes because they want to get something done....

When you’re looking for something to watch on Netflix, how long do you consider a given TV show or movie? 15 seconds? Maybe less? Unfortunately, that’s probably more time than a hiring manager is taking with your résumé for that all important new job. Yep, it turns out the average résumé actually gets about six seconds of attention before a recruiter moves on. Your résumé has to practically jump off the stack — and with a service like Rezi, you can help improve those odds....

The company is rolling out Smart Reply — an AI-powered feature designed to help users generate appropriate replies without actually typing — to YouTube Studio. Here’s what the implementation looks like: Unlike Smart Reply for Gmail, YouTube’s integration supports multiple languages. For the time being, Smart Reply for creators only works in English and Spanish, but it seems Google plans to add more options in the future. In a blog post, Google researchers explained they had to come up with a whole new language-processing model to accommodate for the common usage of emoji on YouTube....

As reported by XDA, Reddit users recently began to notice YouTube’s Android app is now allowing users to play resolutions as high as 4K (2160p60) even on some phones with 720p displays. Indeed, on my measly FHD+ Pixel 5, I’m now able to play videos at full 4K resolution with HDR. Previously, I was limited to 1080p. For those of us that watch a lot of videos on our phones, it’s a welcome change....

That’s why I went to Tallinn to speak with Estonia’s first Ambassador at Large for Cybersecurity, Heli Tiirmaa-Klaar — often described as Estonia’s heavy-hitter in the field of cyber diplomacy — to get the details on how this new frontier in diplomacy works, why Estonia is leading it, and what being a cyber diplomat actually means. Cyber diplomacy is computers and stuff First up, cyber diplomacy…? Although the name might seem like a weird amalgamation of sci-fi and bureaucracy, it’s actually one of the most important fields in geopolitics today....

As Douglas Adams was fond of writing: don’t panic. This doesn’t literally mean we’ll all be dead in the next minute-and-a-half. As the Bulletin puts it: As far as metaphors go, it’s the ultimate reminder that we’re on the brink of irrevocably destroying our species and its habitat. The fact that we’re now closer than ever to midnight – Doomsday — indicates that time is running out. Basically, as a species, we’ve reached the point of no return, and we can’t afford to make any more mistakes....

Particularly so in tech where many areas within the IT industry are thought to be (so far) fairly recession-proof, notably across industries like AI, cybersecurity, and cloud services. In fact, the tech scene is currently experiencing levels of growth we haven’t seen since the early days of the dot.com bubble, with global IT expenditure expected to hit $4.5 trillion by early 2023 — a 5.1% increase, according to a report from Gartner....

Data breaches in 2019, affecting major brands such as Capital One, have exposed 4.1 billion records. Cyber criminals can then use the stolen information to set up new bank accounts in the victim’s name, and any compromised passwords can be used in credential stuffing attacks. However, although breaches and fraud are becoming normal, everyday events, there are steps businesses can take to protect themselves and their customers. Security needs to be baked in from the beginning – not bolted on at the end – to protect critical data....

Every time a rocket engine blows up, the source of the failure needs to be found so that it can be fixed. A new and improved engine is then designed, manufactured, shipped to the test site and fired, and the cycle begins again – until the only disassembly taking place is of the slow, scheduled kind. Perfecting rocket engines in this way is one of the main sources of developmental delays in what is a rapidly expanding space industry....

This is part of what it means to decolonize your company. Decolonizing is an attempt to reverse the legacy of inequality and racism left by colonialism and redress the unequal power relations it produced and perpetuated. The process identifies these historical inequalities, then looks to disrupt their impact and develop ways of thinking that consider many diverse voices. Decolonizing is different from most equality, diversity, and inclusion work. Decolonizing has been part of public discussions for many years....

But depending on where you are, some places might help you get more involved in the industry than others. Silicon Valley, for example, is a hotbed of tech startups and it’s overflowing with talent, but it’s not the be-all and end-all for new and emerging technologies like blockchain. Many cities – and even some entire nations, like Malta – are vying to provide the best environments to support developers and startups working on the decentralized technology....

Recently, Hyundai has found a new way to give a second life to preproduction prototypes. Rather than conventionally crushing them or using them for accident testing, it’s released a video showcasing a “rebirth” of various Ioniq 5 car components to create an air purifier. Hyundai originally built the test car for noise, vibration, and harshness tests. The air purifier’s functionality comes from the original car cabin air filter and cooling fan....

During TNW Conference 2019 top government officials, business and technology leaders and everyday technology users like you and me came together at The Assembly to discuss the growing privacy paradox. The talks centered around the biggest challenges society is facing today including: protecting data privacy; paving the way for the next billion internet users; the need for better collaboration in combating cybersecurity attacks; and trusting decentralization. Here are some highlights from each of the sessions:...

Corporations in different sectors leverage the power of machine learning along with the availability of big data and compute resources to bring remarkable enhancement to all sorts of operations, including content recommendation, inventory management, sales forecasting, and fraud detection. Yet, despite their seemingly magical behavior, current AI algorithms are very efficient statistical engines that can predict outcomes as long as they don’t deviate too much from the norm. But during the coronavirus pandemic, things are anything but normal....

Hola pandemic pals, I want to start this week’s newsletter off with some good news: The curve appears to be flattening! That being said, we’re also at our most vulnerable point in the pandemic. How we respond over the next month will probably decide whether we get to stop social-distancing in 2020. Medical experts overwhelmingly agree prematurely ending social distancing efforts would most likely lead to a second-wave pandemic. But most think we could pull through this by summer if we stay the course....

The CIES Football Observatory’s model predicted that the 21-year-old is worth a whopping €190.2M ($231.9M) in the transfer market. Foden’s England teammates Mason Greenwood (€178M) and Marcus Rashford (€159M) complete the podium, while Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland (€155.5M) takes fourth place in the biannual list. — CIES Football Obs (@CIES_Football) June 7, 2021 England fans may greet the rankings as an encouraging omen for the impending European Championship, but their hopes would be somewhat misplaced....
