But it’s not all blunders and missteps! Brands that assert a strong mission and communications strategy can engender pride and loyalty in their communities, driving financial objectives in the longer term. While this is not an insignificant ask in challenging economic times, aligning with your brand purpose – be it streamlining your customer’s workflow or improving their daily run – will lead your marketing activity in the right direction. We’ll be addressing the relationship between social impact and business outcomes at our online event, Re:Brand Couch Conference....

Frontend developer Tanner Villarete’s clever creation resembles the 6th generation iPod Classic from 2007 (incidentally, the same one I had and loved), and works just like the real thing — except, it works with your Spotify and Apple Music libraries! It might seem like little more than a React project mimicking hardware from over a decade ago, but there’s something about seeing the UI react to your finger spinning the touch wheel and tapping the center button, and flipping through albums in Cover Flow (shown above) that brings fond memories flooding back....

Cloudflare, a cloud company that provides security and content distribution services, provided CDN (Content Delivery Network) services to sites that host Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). CDN refers to a group of geographically distributed servers that host site data to provide faster access to people visiting that website. L1ght, an Israel-based company working to provide a safe environment to children online, shared a report with TNW containing details of the websites featuring harmful content....

According to Hospodářské Noviny, the country’s adoption of the European Union‘s (EU) 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD) will establish additional requirements on cryptocurrency firms than those established in Brussels. As part of their plans, the paper says Czech regulators want to impose a maximum fine of approximately $560,000 (500,000€) on cryptocurrency businesses which fail to register with the country’s Trade Licensing Office. 5AMLD, which came into force last Summer, brought the EU in line with cryptocurrency-related measures already introduced in the US several years ago....

According to the report, YouTube recently began asking creators to tag and track the products used in their videos. That data is then sent to Google to build out its analytics, as well as shopping tools right on YouTube. The company is said to be testing integration with Shopify as well. Bloomberg says a YouTube spokesperson confirmed the company is testing such a feature with a few video channels, although it is still in the experimental phase....

Bloomberg’s anonymous sources report that the company will produce “5 to 6 million units of the PS5 in the fiscal year ending March 2021.” By comparison, the PS4 sold more than that within a few months. The rumor is that the console will have such a higher price tag than the PS4 and the PS4 Pro that it’ll put off buyers on launch day. Read: Everything we know about the PlayStation 5 (so far) Assuming this is true, this could tie into reports that the PS5 is substantially more expensive to make than its predecessor....

Why a Swedish company would want to name a flagship product after the capital of Norway is beyond me, but it’s their prerogative, I guess. Forgive me, dear reader, for I know that was a horrendous joke. I deserve all the angry hate mail I’ll inevitably get. But can you blame me for trying to spice this review up? In 2019, wireless earbuds are no longer a novelty. They’re everywhere....

The Galaxy Flex is a premium 2-in-1 laptop that comes in both 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch sizes. It features a snazzy metal blue design, with a built-in fingerprint reader and a slot for the S-Pen – a feature I appreciate as someone who has lost too many styluses over the years. Spec-wise it’s your usual 2020 ultrabook, with a10th-Gen Intel Core i7 (1065G7), 8/12GB of ram, and 512GB of storage. There’s a micro SD card reader on board, and Samsung says the 69....

The move should ease the strain of a city that’s currently housing around 6,000 homeless individuals. To date, San Jose has relied on temporary trailers, leased motel rooms, and converting two of its convention centers to makeshift shelters. Still, this leaves space for fewer than 15% of its homeless residents. Since the pandemic started, cities have scrambled to find a way to house these residents, who are particularly at risk due to the difficulty in following social distancing practices when bedding down each night at a shelter....

The team posited that dead coral reefs don’t sound or smell the same as lively ones. In order to test this hypothesis, they recorded the sounds from thriving areas of the Great Barrier Reef and played them over loudspeakers in areas that were dead and dying. They found, astoundingly, that 50 percent more fish returned to dying areas that sounded healthy versus similar areas without audio pumped in. Steve Simpson, a professor at the University of Exeter and senior author on the team’s paper, said: Approximately 89 percent of The Great Barrier Reef is dead or dying....

The findings — disclosed by mobile tech company Upstream’s security platform Secure-D — reveal the app was downloaded over 40 million times. Troublingly, it’s active on millions of devices to this date, despite being removed from the Google Play Store in June. In addition, Ai.type delivers invisible ads and generates phony clicks, while requiring broad permissions to use the app — including access to text messages, photos, videos, contacts, and on-device storage....

However, there is as much controversy as there is excitement about this new idea. Foremost in many people’s minds are the ethical implications. People in difficult economic circumstances may, perversely, be incentivized to contract the disease so they can return to work. For others, privacy issues related to centralized storage of medical data is a stumbling block. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also cast doubt on the extent to which people who have recovered from COVID-19 will be protected from future infection....
