“Naver’s new headquarters serves as a test bed to explore technologies of the future, where 5G network and cloud play a central role,” Sangyoung Han, Executive Director at Naver Cloud Strategy and Planning at Naver Cloud, said in a statement. Naver and Samsung signed an agreement in March to jointly develop new private 5G networks business models and use cases. Private 5G networks give enterprises a way to bring secure and reliable connectivity to locations where they are running data-intensive applications....

Now, I don’t like only having a single copy of important data. It makes me feel uncomfortable. While SD and microSD cards are incredibly robust, things can go wrong. And on top of that, they are easily lost. Or, you might pop it into a camera or drone and hit Format, before you remember you’ve not taken the data off of it. Also: Looking for a cheap digital camera? These are all priced under $450 The problem is, unless you have access to a computer, backing up storage cards when out and about can be tricky....

Sadly, creativity is one of the primary skills a scammer needs to succeed ⁠— and a new type of identity fraud making the rounds shows just how dastardly these criminals can be. If you’ve been getting a high volume of robocalls recently, here’s why answering the phone might be a bad idea. Scammers can now fake 2FA text messages from your bank According to reports from CBS News, a new phishing scam is spreading rapidly that uses high-tech trickery to mask the phone numbers of the criminals behind it....

The trial will run for six months and is being coordinated by the 4 Day Week Global campaign in partnership with UK thinktank Autonomy and researchers at Cambridge University, Oxford University and Boston College. The pilot is based on the 100-80-100 model, where employees get 100% of the pay for 80% of their normal working week, in exchange for a commitment to maintain at least 100% productivity. SEE: Working hard or hardly working?...

“Anna Assistant”, once installed, can be simply summoned by saying ‘Hey’ followed by the command. I was a bit skeptical about its accuracy and performance initially, however, the extension works surprisingly well even if you speak softly. As of now, Anna supports a dozen actions. These include searching on Google, closing a tab, weather, opening websites and more. It functions in the background. Hence you won’t ever face pop-ups or any other sort of animation at all....

The Nexus 6 hasn’t been available for too long, but intrepid owners of the new handset have already discovered something quite thrilling. Thanks to several owners of the Nexus 6, and the developer behind the app Lightflow, a hidden, secret RGB LED has been found behind the top speaker grille of the device. Unfortunately, the feature is disabled right out of the box, but for owners of the smartphone that are rooted (or plan to be), a set of instructions have been posted to activate the LED, and even change its colors....

The OnePlus One is a device that’s meant to bring premium specifications and build quality to the world, without attaching a premium price tag along with it. The question for many in that particular regard may be whether or not the One is easily repairable, if something disastrous were to happen to your shiny new gadget. Thankfully, the folks over at iFixIt have poked and prodded the handset in their efforts to tear it apart, to find out how easily it can be disassembled, and ultimately put back together....

Several smartphone accessories made by one manufacturer are being recalled for fire hazards — including one that resulted in $6,000 worth of damage. We’ll show you the charger to watch out for, as well as some alternatives that are safe to use. Towsleys Recalls 3-in-1 Qi Wireless Chargers, Power Banks and Travel Chargers Accessory manufacturer Towsleys is recalling several of its smartphone products due to dangerous thermal events that resulted in fires....

A deepfake video uses artificial intelligence and deep-learning techniques to produce fake images of people or events. One recent example is when the mayor of Berlin thought he was having an online meeting with former boxing champion and current mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko. SEE: These are the cybersecurity threats of tomorrow that you should be thinking about today But the mayor of Berlin grew suspicious when ‘Klitschko’ started saying some very out of character things relating to the invasion of Ukraine, and when the call was interrupted the mayor’s office contacted the Ukrainian ambassador to Berlin – to discover that, whoever they were talking to, it wasn’t the real Klitschko....

Ahead of Mobile World Congress, TCL officially announced the BlackBerry KEYone, a new Android handset with the BlackBerry logo emblazoned on its case. Now, looking ahead, TCL’s CEO, Nicolas Zibell, has confirmed that the company will continue to rattle out new BlackBerry hardware this year, all of which should be running Android. Zibell says there will be three new phones out in 2017, but doesn’t provide any additional information. A separate source speaking with CNET said that TCL does plan on launching a new all-touch BlackBerry device, similar to what we’ve seen in the DTEK series, but the company also plans on killing the DTEK brand as well....

Unfortunately, it’s tough. You can sit in a classroom week after week and spend a lot of money to learn another language, only to get so-so results that you soon forget. There’s really good news, though. Technology has made it much easier, and a lot more convenient to learn a foreign language. It starts with your smartphone, whether you use an Android or an Apple iPhone. You’ll need to download an app, some of which are FREE....

While there are multiple ways that organisations can help staff achieve work-life balance, a key part of that conversation has been around offering staff flexible working arrangements, such as remote working and flexible hours. Another format – and one that’s on the rise – is four-day work weeks. Organisations offering compressed work weeks – full-time hours over four days rather than five, for example – has risen by 29% over the last four years, where more than one in four Australian organisations are offering this benefit to employees, Mercer’s 2021 Australian Benefits Review indicated....

The Honor 10 features a 5.84-inch Full HD+ screen on the front. And like the P20, it’s an LCD panel. The phone also keeps the home button on the chin which also houses the fingerprint sensor. Powering the Honor 10 is the company’s own Kirin 970 octa-core chipset, 6GB of RAM, 64 or 128GB of internal storage which is not expandable, and a 3,400 battery that is compatible with quick charging....

But there’s one thing that’s so easily overlooked. Something that as a photographer using a mirrorless camera I do all the time. That’s clean my lens. Yup, it’s that simple. I noticed the other day that my iPhone photos looked washed out and had a weird, ugly streak of light going across the photos. I started to wonder if this was a bug with the iOS update. Or maybe something I’d done to the settings....

Those were the words of a Google executive to me when we were discussing Android in 2011. The OS was still in its infancy and considered a notch below the likes of not just iOS but also Symbian, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry. Of course, this changed radically in the coming years. Today, Android is THE OS when it comes to mobile phones, and Symbian, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone can be found in the tech graveyard (in the OS section, mobile sub-section)....

That development matters because many security services will implicitly trust anything signed by Microsoft, During this month’s Patch Tuesday, Microsoft acknowledged reports by SentinelOne, Google-owned Mandiant, and Sophos about threat actors using a driver certified by Microsoft’s Windows Hardware Developer Program to deploy various malware. The malicious but properly Microsoft-signed driver was used in an attempt to terminate endpoint-detection agents and antivirus on affected systems from multiple vendors. The vendors reported the malicious driver to Microsoft on October 19, according to the tech giant....

Microsoft has rolled out a brand new update that repairs more than 113 bugs and three zero-day exploits. Hopefully, this new batch of fixes doesn’t screw things up worse than the last Windows update. Tap or click here to see how a previous Windows 10 patch prevented some users from booting their systems up. If you’re hesitant to download another potentially risky update, we don’t blame you.
