  • Data was leaked by the South Korean data protection authority

    Data was leaked by the South Korean data protection authority

    Nearly two hundred South Korean facebookers have launched an investigation against the site at the local data protection authority, but the latter has only made an even bigger deal.

    It can be rightly assumed that the data protection authority is working hard to carry out various investigations with great precision. However, the South Korean PIPC (Personal Information Protection Commission) made a grave mistake: they leaked data while asking them for help on just such a case.

    The Register reported the story. According to the article, 181 South Korean Facebook users have asked their supervisor to help with an investigation. Stakeholders have complained that the social site has passed on their data to external application developers without their consent.

    PIPC accepted the lawsuit and then ordered Facebook to pay 300,000 won compensation. However, there was an error in sending the decision, and the authority also forwarded a collection of personal data to 19 unknowns.

    Because of what happened, the president of PIPC explained in a longer statement admitting the mistake. Jun Jongin also apologized to those involved.

  • Bloomberg: Apple car is coming in 2025, it will be completely self-driving

    Bloomberg: Apple car is coming in 2025, it will be completely self-driving

    Referring to sources familiar with Apple’s affairs, Bloomberg writes that the company is currently developing a chip for self-driving, and there’s not much left until the car is launched.

    For years, rumors have been heard that Apple is also entering the automotive industry with a self-developed electric car. The Cupertino company’s plans began to talk more again earlier this year. A British company, Vanarama, also created a 3D model based on Apple’s patent plans to show how the company’s vehicle could be put together.

    Bloomberg was now dealing with the subject, not in any way. The paper knows Apple will be able to launch its car in 2025, which will, of course, be electric and somehow able to drive itself.

    According to the report, Apple has also examined two scenarios in this area in recent years. One said the car would have limited self-driving capabilities, which would be like the current Tesla. The other option is to navigate the vehicle without human intervention fully.

    Bloomberg understands Apple is one of the pproject’sSenior Vice President Kevin Lynch has finally opted for the latter. The company wants a car with no steering wheel or pedals, with passengers sitting opposite and arranged on either side of the cabin, like in the back of a limousine.

    Apple wants an iPad at the center of the car where certain vehicle features could be set up. In addition, all of AApple’sfeatures would, of course, be integrated into the vehicle. And even if there was no government in it, passengers could choose an option to take control in the event of an emergency.

    Apple would, of course, use its processor in its car. A separate chip would be designed for this task.

    The feasibility of the 2025 date is said to be questioned by Apple engineers, but Tim Cook will seldom be satisfied with a semi-finished, almost self-driving car.

  • The Edge browser now has a new feature

    The Edge browser now has a new feature

    Microsoft has added new features to the Edge browser: in addition to helping us replace our old / leaked passwords, laptops will run out of battery later.

    Microsoft has updated its Edge browser, which can be enjoyed by those who use the software on laptops. The company has put a feature in the browser to help the battery last longer on a single charge.

    According to Microsoft, introducing a new efficiency mode feature will reduce CPU and memory usage “significantly.” While this reduces the performance of your browser, it will help you drain your laptop later. The feature turns on when the battery is low, but users can turn it on manually when they need to save.

    Another practical innovation is that it will be much easier to update passwords in Edge in the future. If you want to change it on a web page – for example, because it has been leaked – all you have to do is press the button next to the password in your browser password setting, which will immediately navigate us to that location. The website will then offer a new password, which we can accept directly and update the version stored in the browser. This feature only works on a few websites so far, but Microsoft promises it will be available on more and more websites in the coming months.

    Edge also has a feature that can help with online shopping: the browser finds the cheapest product and then notifies users.

  • Apple will allow its users to fix their own phones

    Apple will allow its users to fix their own phones

    The U.S. company has long been attacked for not letting users fix their device problems themselves. One of the critics was the company’s co-founder, Steve Wozniak.

    An online interface created will allow Apple to repair iPhones at home. The novelty is being launched as part of a dedicated program, Self Service Repair, the first in the United States. And over time, in the rest of the world.

    The lack of in-house (i.e., non-in-store) repairs to iPhones is an old problem that has led the company’s co-founder Steve Wozniak to attack Apple as well. He believed the company would have to give in to his waist because he could lose a lot of users if he didn’t. It is not known whether this ultimately led to Apple changing its mind, but it is a fact: they have launched the much-anticipated patch.

    This means that some problems (such as replacing the camera, battery, or screen) can be performed at home without the need for service.

    This saves the user money and time as long as they can do such work. (The company also emphasizes the latter.)

    Apple will also operate the online interface for the program as a store, which means users can get the new part from here. There is no news about the prices yet, but it has been shared that the company may even include problematic items (such as a broken display).

    The company wants to expand the ability to repair devices at home to Macs with M1 chips in the future.

  • Spotify adds a new feature to its app

    Spotify adds a new feature to its app

    Spotify now associates most of the songs on the platform with lyrics and shows them to the user in sync with playback.

    Spotify has been testing the feature that allows users to follow the lyrics of a song for a long time. The feature has been available mainly in the United States and only for a few users there, but the company has announced that from now on, everyone will get the novelty.

    According to Spotify, the function that allows you to follow the lyrics – and thus the opportunity to sing together – will be available for “most” songs. In practice, this means that lyrics will accompany not all songs, and if we have a good idea, we will be able to meet the novelty of the English-speaking performers in the first place. Spotify created the feature with a company called Musixmatch.

    The good news is that the song text function on Android devices, the iPhone, and find Spotify in the app produced and used versions of desktop computers.

    It’s easy to use: launch a song, open the playback page, and then swipe it up. The feature will show you the lyrics and indicate where the singer is right in sync with playing the song.

    If someone doesn’t find the novelty, don’t be intimidated: it takes time for it to appear to all users, which is why it is sometimes worth checking to see if the latest version of the app is running on your device.

  • Something unpleasant has been revealed on Facebook and Instagram

    Something unpleasant has been revealed on Facebook and Instagram

    Facebook and Instagram appear to monitor minors’ browsing activity and use the data for advertising purposes.

    Another very unpleasant detail came to light about how Facebook and Instagram, part of the Meta umbrella company, work. The Guardian reported by a recent study came to the conclusion that uses software to social networking sites and photo-sharing platforms, which captures the minor users’ browsing activities and collected.

    In July, the company announced that advertisers could reach young users with their ads based on three filters – age, gender, location – rather than specific information such as their interests. However, a joint investigation by the Global Action Plan, Reset Australia, which is campaigning to reform large technology companies, and Fairplay, which is campaigning against advertising to children, found that Facebook monitors and collects minors’ browsing habits.

    The organizations created three fake accounts: one pretended to be a 13-year-old and two 16-year-olds. They were also able to see what data the company was collecting about them while browsing the internet.

    Experts have found that Facebook can collect information about the browser pages you open and get information about which button they clicked on that page, what terms they searched for, what products they bought or put in their virtual cart. The paper says experts say the social network has no reason to do so unless you use this information to display ads.

    According to The Guardian, Meta denies that its algorithm, responsible for displaying ads on Facebook and Instagram, would use this data to show ads to people under 18.

    In this case, 44 advocacy organizations wrote an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg urging the company to stop collecting data aimed at children.

  • Crypto: Everything you need to know about NFTs

    Crypto: Everything you need to know about NFTs

    Different cryptocurrencies are increasingly featured in the news – and of course, in the portfolios of bolder investors.

    Technology and the emerging economic sector are also evolving rapidly, and it is not easy to keep up. Even in the world of cryptocurrencies, many people don’t see it entirely clear, and even fewer know about blockchains whether they eat or drink. A few months ago, the world was introduced to another term. Let’s see what you need to know about non-fungible tokens (NFT).

    What is NFT, what are irreplaceable tokens?

    The NFT is a virtual document that makes the property manageable in the digital space as well. An NFT based on Ethereum serves to certify authenticity, identifying and authenticating a digital device as a kind of title deed, embodying its ownership.

    The essence and primary characteristic of irreplaceable tokens is uniqueness: when creating an NDP, the token’s purpose is determined – this makes it unique. It also includes metadata such as where the token came from, who created it, when, etc. This data can no longer be changed later, so the token is suitable for the unambiguous identification of a digital device.

    Tokens are also indivisible. Unlike bitcoin, they cannot be divided into smaller parts but function as a whole. As unique identifiers for digital value, NFTs can be issued in limited quantities, opening up the possibility of exploiting a limited number of units for business.

    Non-fungible tokens and business

    The NFT is identifiable, easily transferred, and is not subject to manipulation (i.e., it cannot be copied or divided). The obvious next step as a secure digital form of asset management is the business use of NFTs.

    Collectors have already slammed into the new technology. The NBA, for example, has resurrected popular basket cards from the ’90s with the help of NFTs, offering uniquely identifiable basket videos. Not to fail: By the first quarter of 2021, $320 million in turnover had already been generated, and the business was overgrowing. But tokens can also help secure the trade in digital works of art.

    Tangible assets such as cars or real estate can also be tokenized – we can turn digital tokens into virtually anything. Thus, it is conceivable that irreplaceable tokens will serve as a solution to the old problem of the Internet: digital copying and theft. Speaking of which, NFT art also has a place on the World Wide Web: there are plenty of examples on this Instagram channel.

    In the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, of course, we do not know whether the NDP will put the digital management of the property on a new footing. But technological innovation is already moving vast sums of money, so it will be worth watching its development.

  • Instagram bringing a feature to let you choose what to see on your feed

    Instagram bringing a feature to let you choose what to see on your feed

    Instagram seems to be testing a switch that we can use to set who we want to see posts from.

    Although we are primarily interested in the posts of close friends, acquaintances, and family members on social media sites, the more users we follow, the more essential posts are lost in the feed. It’s no different on Instagram, but a feature that may help fix this problem may be coming soon.

    Based on a recent Twitter post, Instagram seems to give users the ability to determine what content they prefer to see in their feed. This could be set with predefined filters, including three options based on the screenshots: Home, Following, and Favorites.

    Home is likely to put the standard algorithm-defined (and currently used) feed in front of users, while Favorites would certainly collect posts from the users we designate. Based on these, it is unknown what the Following may mean, but the following users may be included.

    It is not yet known when you will implement this feature on Instagram. However, what is certain is that many would be happy for him to see the posts differently than the algorithm serves them.

  • Gucci has also entered the gaming industry: here is their $10,000 Xbox

    Gucci has also entered the gaming industry: here is their $10,000 Xbox

    The fashion brand is partnering with Microsoft to release a poison-expensive gaming machine.

    Gucci’s name can be jumped on primarily by coats, shoes, and other fashion items, but the game console should now be added to this list as well. The company, together with Microsoft, has made an Xbox, which they plan to sell at the usual price tag at Gucci: the device will cost $10,000

    That’s why the money comes with a G-console, two joysticks, a unique bag, and a library of 100 games; the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription provides the latter. (So ​​the user gets non-boxed copies.)

    Only 100 units of the Gucci-branded Xbox are sold, which are of the course number.

  • Spotify Down: You can’t even play music

    Spotify Down: You can’t even play music

    One of the most popular streaming music providers on the web and mobile devices isn’t working right now.

    There was a bug in the Spotify streaming music provider on Tuesday night that made it impossible to listen to music on the interface at all, according to user prompts on the DownDetector page.

    The members of our editorial office also experience the phenomenon. Spotify also has a standard web interface, but now it doesn’t work either. The page doesn’t load at all.

    According to a brief announcement, the service operator has begun investigating the problem.

  • Samsung claims that “everything will change” on Friday.

    Samsung claims that “everything will change” on Friday.

    The theme of Samsung’s Friday event was “everything is changing.” Many people believed that the latest chipset, the Exynos 2200, would be released to the public, but this has already been proven false.

    Samsung tends to announce its next Exynos processor a few weeks before launching a new Galaxy S Series smartphone. The world is already anticipating the long-awaited Exynos 2200 (the first Exynos chip with a six-core AMD RDNA2 GPU and ray-tracing technology), so it’s no surprise that when a mysterious Instagram post with the hashtag #EverythingChanges appeared in Samsung’s Exynos account, it seemed clear to many that the time had come to reveal the new chips.

    Because you read in the post about the future of gaming graphics and AMD’s GPU supports high-end gaming capabilities, this may have looked logical.

    But then the most proficient, Samsung, came along and put a damper on everything. Contrary to popular belief, they made it plain on Twitter that the event would not be Exynos-themed, and he disclosed several adjustments.

    Many people hoping for a new Exynos chipset may be disappointed. However, this isn’t to say that one won’t exist. It’s only a matter of waiting to see when Samsung will reveal it. Benchmark findings, on the other hand, have already been made public.

    The one with non-minor measurements details was made public. I, in turn, have written that the difference in Exynos long-term performance between 2100 and 2200 is between 17 and 20% (of course, the novelty of acting), but the peak power difference is significantly more, at 31-34 percent. Although this is great, for mobile gamers, long-term performance is critical.

    The Exynos 2200 in a rumored prototype Galaxy runs S22, and the second measurement is comparable to two generations. The Exynos 2200 performs marginally better than the Galaxy S21 but at a substantially lower clock speed. However, because the engineering prototype and chipset software management are likely to be improved, the S22 with the Exynos chip is projected to perform better than the S21, which also uses such a chip.

    When comparing the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 888 results, the new Samsung chipset wins by a large margin, despite Qualcomm’s processing clock being similar. However, because the Galaxy S22 already has the latest Snapdragon 898 processor, it’s unclear whether the Exynos 2200 offers any advantages.

    However, in the meanwhile, some thought-provoking news surfaced. LetsGoDigital, a Dutch website, released the leak of a former Samsung employee, among other things. All Samsung S22 versions will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC in all locations, including Europe and Asia.

    According to previous reports, Samsung would employ more minor Exynos chips than usual. On February 8, 2022, everything was expected at the Samsung Unpacked event.

  • Jeff Bezos: “Space will be man’s new home, we’re just coming to Earth on vacation”

    Jeff Bezos: “Space will be man’s new home, we’re just coming to Earth on vacation”

    According to the founding owner of the companies Amazon and Blue Origin, there will also be children in the future who will be born in outer space.

    According to The News Daily, humanity will have members who will not be born and live on Earth, but in space-like space stations, Jeff Bezos told a conference in Washington.

    The founding owner of Amazon and Blue Origin is moving every stone to promote his space business, which now offers tickets for a short space trip for tens of millions of dollars. This was also discussed at an event called the Ignatius Forum, and the rich Bezos also talked about what the future holds for the people.

    In his speech, the businessman also said that if space technology later became much more advanced than it is now, one would only return to Earth for a vacation or a trip.

    While Bezos certainly has something to bake in seeing his current situation, these statements now seem like the dream of only one person.

  • Best Reasons Medianet is better than Google Adsense

    Best Reasons Medianet is better than Google Adsense

    Media.net is not new to contextual advertising. They have been around since 2010, and we have reviewed them in advance. They regularly topped the list of AdSense alternatives on our website.

    Since we last wrote about them, we’ve only heard good things about the publishing experience. For those who haven’t tried them yet, do it now. Google AdSense users – You also need to add Media.net to your admix, and we appreciate it to add incremental value to your revenue. And who doesn’t want to, right?

    READ ALSO: Ads are ruining Windows 11

    Here’s why we think Media.net is an excellent alternative to Google AdSense:

    1. 2nd largest contextual advertising network in the world.

    Media.net is the 2nd largest contextual advertising business globally, exclusively through Yahoo! The Bing Contextual Ads program, one of the world’s largest groups of advertisers, opens up $ 6bn in search needs to publishers.

    [ads1]

    This means that no matter how broad or incomplete the content is, your inventory will always show significant demand among multiple advertisers. Such a large market for keyword-targeted advertisers means a more competitive market, which in turn will generate better revenue because only the most relevant and highest-paying advertisers will win the bid to display their ads on their blog/site.

    2. Pioneers of the D2S ad format.

    The display mode of the search ad format is a sophisticated way to monetize display placements, identify user search intent, and display relevant search keywords that result in search ads purchased by advertisers in the CPC model.

    The D2S ad format filters out user intent, which results in better targeting of ads on your site and higher revenue, as advertisers are likely to pay more for these valuable clicks where user intent is unambiguous compared to CPM-based ads, whether the user joined the ad or looked like the past.

    3. Full Contextual Advertising.

    By now, you know that Media.net is cutting-edge with technology. Intuitive and intelligent technology is also behind the targeting of ads. Media.net’s algorithms are constantly self-optimizing in their ability to analyze and understand the concept of content.

    Once you absorb what you write, they associate the content with the suitable ads on each page. No more such slimming pills on a beautiful food blog! Your ads will be contextual, meaning they will add value to your writing rather than conspire with it. If you have ads with content related to your content, you still have a high chance of being clicked on, and you pay.

    4. Native ads that feel the shape and feel of the content.

    The user experience is not compromised by ads that do not fit into the page systems. We are subjected to such advertisements every day, and from our own experience, they will know that they are not practical, pathological, and inorganic for your content.

    What Media.net offers is a seamless and more confident way to create a native ad experience for your readers. Native ads are particular in that they look and feel like the content. Because of their similar appearance to the content, they are confused and do not interfere with the content of those who remain consistent. Media.net ads accept the flow of editorial content without changing the site’s layout. Here are some examples.

    5. Beautiful and various ad units that are aesthetically better than others.

    When you sign in to Media.net, it sends you an ad tag to help you create ads of all sizes and types. Depending on the performance of your account, you can also make custom ad units for yourself. Each Media.net ad unit responds without getting in or puts the extra effort on its part into any screen size or device type. Not only do their ad units behave, but they are also aesthetically pleasing.

    [ads2]

    6. Each publisher will receive a separate Account Manager.

    How many have used other major ad networks if they can’t control and provide guidance when needed? We’re sure there’s a significant number that says, “Me!”. This is a gap that Media.net has identified and filled quite democratically.

    It doesn’t matter if you are a small or large publisher on Media.net. Each of them gets a client for an account manager, and that can be a massive help to any newcomer to monetization. Nowhere else will there be a company that devotes so many human resources and showcases the revenue-generating ties of blogging.

    These account managers make sensible suggestions that, if they pay attention, can go a long way in increasing their revenue. So there is no groping in the dark. As with other ad networks, there is no more dependence on responses in the obscure corner of user-generated forums. On Media.net, when you get to a wall, shoot your email account manager, and they’ll do their best to fix your problem.

    7. Adds AdSense and creates additional ad inventory.

    We know that a large percentage of publishers use AdSense to drive traffic. Wait, who doesn’t want more ad revenue? Media.net helps those who don’t want to stop using AdSense. Media.net is easy and efficient to use with AdSense to earn incremental revenue.

    [ads3]

    Media.net contains several ad units not covered by the AdSense ad package. With these ad units, you can create additional ad inventory and opportunities for your current ad revenue. Here are some examples of ad unit sizes unique to Media.net.

    Media.net 600 × 250 custom ad units

    Media.net 600 × 120 custom ad units

    Our recommendation

    So, we think – We have no reason not to try on Media.net. I was impressed with the performance of their ads and the quality of their services. Undoubtedly a great alternative to AdSense.
