A New Hack Uses Lasers To Send Inaudible Commands To Your Amazon Echo

The attacks — dubbed Light Commands — were disclosed by researchers from Tokyo-based University of Electro-Communications and University of Michigan. The novel attack works by inserting acoustic signals into microphones using laser light — from as far as 110 meters, or 360 feet — that exploits a vulnerability in MEMS (aka micro-electro-mechanical systems) microphones to unintentionally respond to light just as they would if it was sound. “By modulating an electrical signal in the intensity of a light beam, attackers can trick microphones into producing electrical signals as if they are receiving genuine audio,” the researchers outlined in a paper....

Ai Sent First Coronavirus Alert But Underestimated The Danger

Earlier reports had suggested that a Canadian epidemiologist had raised the first warnings of the outbreak, using an algorithm called BlueDot that scanned news reports and airline ticketing data to predict the spread of the disease. Associated Press reporters Christina Larson and Matt O’Brien were dubious about the claim, and decided to draw up a timeline of when global alert systems noticed the signals. They determined that the first warning outside China of the virus came from the automated HealthMap system at Boston Children’s Hospital, which scans online news and social media reports for signals of spreading disease....

Airlines Increasingly Reliant On Ghost Flights During Coronavirus Outbreak

With demand down, some carriers have had to take the losses on the nose, electing to fly empty planes to their destinations — rather than cancelling the flight — in order to avoid losing coveted take-off and landing spots. These are known as ghost flights. At more than 200 of the world’s busiest airports, airlines are allocated specific windows for take-off and landing. Carriers like Delta, American Airlines, and Southwest pay top dollar to secure these spots, spots they risk losing to a competitor if they don’t use them at least 80% of the time....

All I Want For Xmas A Macos Catalina Music App That Doesn T Suck

No. No it’s not. In fact, it’s actually a really mature, cool thing to do. Shut up. So, here I go.

Is it? Is it? First, some context I’m not talking about the Apple Music streaming service, but the digital file library....

Amazon To Sell Its Cashierless Just Walk Out Tech To Third Party Stores

The e-commerce giant launched a website on Monday for its new Just Walk Out service, which allows brick-and-mortar stores to eliminate check outs — for an undisclosed fee. Aside from that, it seems the shopping experience will be pretty much the same: customers simply pick up items from the shelf, which are tallied automatically in “virtual carts” and paid for once they leave the store — all without interacting with a cashier or scanning any barcodes....

Apple S App Store Model Isn T Worth The 30 Charge For Today S Developers

Wake up with a great idea for a new widget. Build it, set up a table in front of your house, and sell it for $10 cash. You just made $10. Pretty good deal.

Apple Will Reportedly Reveal The 16 Inch Macbook Pro Any Day Now

The news comes via Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, who has a strong track record with Apple rumors. The new device will purportedly feature a larger, higher resolution screen and an overall spec bump, but cost the same as the current 15-inch model. We know precious little else about the device. It’s not even clear if Apple will achieve the 16-inch size by building a larger chassis or shrinking the bezels on the 15-inch model (my guess is the latter)....
