What’s strange is that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max lines aren’t as easy to repair. Perhaps Apple has decided it prudent to test the new design for durability before rolling it out across the board. There are two things that you need to be able to carry out successful repairs: Know-how and the right tools. And iFixit has both. For know-how, visit the company’s extensive repair guides.

I compared the 2020 iPad Air with the 2022 version not too long ago, with my main takeaway being that the new improvements are only incremental. Pulled directly from my comparison, “…if you can live without the connectivity quirks (5G) and just want a no-frills, iPadOS experience, then save yourself the money and stick with the iPad Air (2020)”. Also: iPad Air (2020) vs. iPad Air (2022) That’s because even though the 2022 iPad Air supports 5G and is powered by Apple’s M1 chipset, the A14 Bionic on the 2020 iPad Air is just as capable for daily tasks like social media browsing, emailing, watching videos, and doing other large screen things....

Except for the fact that you’re usually very limited as to the ports you have available. But fear not, a huge market in docks has sprung up to accommodate this new demand. Big docks. Small docks. Tiny dongles. But the easiest kind of dock to use when you’re out and about is one that fits under your laptop, acting like a little stand underneath the back of it (very handy if you have a laptop that gets a bit hot in use, as it dramatically improves airflow)....

Two-factor authentication – a combination of something you remember (such as a password) and something you have (a smartphone or a token) – offers far better security than relying on passwords alone. And while SMS-based authentication is better than nothing, what’s even better is hardware-based authentication. I’ve tested dozens of hardware-based security keys, and the one that I use to secure my online accounts is the Yubikey 5C NFC. This, for me, is the ultimate security key, offering simple, easy-to-use, yet effective security....

AR, where digital information is integrated with your view of the real world to deliver an enhanced overall experience, has yet to make a significant impact in the consumer market. The reason, says Lumus CEO Ari Grobman, is that AR glasses “need to be impressive both functionally and aesthetically” – which is something he says the new Lumus technology addresses: “With Z-Lens, we’re aligning form and function, eliminating barriers-of-entry for the industry and paving the way for widespread consumer adoption....

Pysa is one of the ransomware gangs utilizing double extortion to pressure victims to pay an extortion demand and dumped leaks from 50 previously compromised organizations last month. Overall in November, the number of Pysa attacks increased 50%, which means it overtook Conti to the join Lockbit in the top two most common versions of the malware. Conti and Lockbit have been the dominant strains since August, according to NCC Group....

Developer training platform CodingDojo scoured job ads on careers website Indeed to find out which programming languages are in highest demand in 2022. It found that Python, Java, SQL and JavaScript appeared the most frequently in developer job ads, each appearing in more than 50,000 listings on Indeed. All four saw a significant jump in demand compared to 2020-2021, said CodingDojo: “This makes plenty of sense considering the U.S. economy alone has seen more jobs created in 2021 than any other year on record....

This is a game-changer. All too often companies realize the dangers of running a DBMS without needed security patches, but there’s never a right time. They struggle to find the right maintenance window opportunity to deploy security patches and fixes because of business needs. Balanced against that is the sure knowledge that when known vulnerabilities go unpatched for weeks or months, attackers will eventually find and exploit these security holes....

The Uber drivers appeared before the Senate Committee on Job Security, which is currently leading an inquiry into whether Australia’s gig economy workers are being paid fairly and if there are sufficient health and safety protections in place for them. On Thursday afternoon, two Uber drivers recounted their experiences of having their accounts on the platform wrongly deactivated. One driver’s account was allegedly deactivated for five days when a passenger falsely claimed that the driver was being violent, while another said their account was deactivated for a day because one of their passengers filed a complaint about feeling uncomfortable from wearing a mask during the ride....

At a lobster’s pace. Also: 8 things you can do with Linux that you can’t do with MacOS or Windows With Lunar Lobster (23.04), Canonical solidifies the idea of bringing yet another magnificent desktop operating system to market. The biggest change to Ubuntu 23.04 comes by way of the installer but even that is mostly cosmetic (although it’s been totally rewritten in Flutter). The installer has finally been dragged into the more modern age of computer aesthetics and it’s as functional as it is beautiful (check out the screenshots of the installer in my article: How to install Linux on an old laptop)....

Reported by Reuters, the United States has granted licences authorising suppliers to sell chips to Huawei for vehicle components, such as video screens and sensors. The licence approval from the United States is a shift from its usual position in relation to Huawei. The Chinese technology giant was added to the US entity list in 2019, which banned US companies from selling goods and technology to the company without special licences from government....

Based on the HPE Cray EX235a architecture and equipped with AMD EPYC 64C 2GHz processors, the system features more than 8,730,000 cores and surpassed the one exaflop barrier with a High-Performance Linpack (HPL) score of 1.102 exaflops. The supercomputer is currently being integrated and tested at the ORNL where it will be operated by the Department of Energy. By taking the top spot, Frontier knocks Japan’s Fugaku system, which has held the number one ranking for the last two consecutive years, to number two as it continues to hit a HPL benchmark score of 442 PFlops....

Staying in and throwing on a good rom com or cheesy classic might be just what you and your loved ones need. Watching a movie is undoubtedly relaxing, but finding one to watch that everyone agrees on can involve way too much scrolling and trailer preview fatigue – especially if you don’t even know where to start. For Netflix users, the search process just got easier. Instead of clicking movie after movie, hoping one will be the perfect Valentine’s Day vibe, Netflix users can use codes to aid in their search for romantic movies....

When in doubt, use the cable and charger that came with the device.Buy good quality cables from name brands such as Anker.If any cable starts to get overly warm or displays any issues, stop using it! USB-C seems to have become the default for both charging and data transfer. And that’s with good reason – USB-C is very versatile, currently allowing for power transfer up to 100W and data speeds of 10Gbps....
