Research has shown that many workers want and expect remote work to continue after the Covid-19 pandemic ends. A March 2021 survey of remote workers done by Caprelo, a work relocation company, found that 87% said being able to work remotely would be a part of their future employment decisions. Likewise, an April 2021 report published by the global staffing company Robert Half found that as many as a third of workers may quit if they were asked to return to the office full-time....

The company, which makes cloud ERP and financials software, reported fourth quarter revenue of $1.38 billion. Subscription revenue was $1.23 billion, up 22.2% from a year ago. Workday reported earnings of 78 cents a share. Wall Street was expecting Workday to report fourth quarter revenue of $1.36 billion with non-GAAP earnings of 71 cents a share. For the full fiscal year, Workday reported revenue of $5.14 billion, an increase of 19% compared to 2021....

However, shares were down in after-hours trading. Zoom’s non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $415.1 million, or $1.36 per share. Total revenue for the second quarter came to $1.021 billion, up 54% year-over-year. Analysts were expecting earnings of $1.16 per share on revenue of $990.96 million. “In Q2, we achieved our first billion-dollar revenue quarter while delivering strong profitability and cash flow,” Zoom founder and CEO Eric S. Yuan said in a statement....

How does this CEO ensure customer happiness while growing and managing in the harsh spotlight of a world stage? It’s a tough challenge that is central to how Yuan operates the company. In 2018, I asked Yuan to explain the relationship between employee experience and customer happiness: “When you build a business, you cannot, as a CEO, do everything. You need to count on your employees.” “If employees are not happy, customers can feel that and will not be happy....

Python’s importance to today’s tech can’t be overstated. It has become the go-to language for machine learning, in part because of its wealth of software libraries like NumPy. Thanks to those libraries, Python is now arguably the world’s most popular programming language, jostling for top spot with Java, C, and JavaScript, and it’s used by millions of developers, data scientists and finance workers worldwide to crunch big data. SEE: The IT skills gap is getting worse....

The reason is that quantum computers, although still far from having reached maturity, are expected to eventually usher in a whole new era of computing – one in which the hardware is no longer a constraint when resolving complex problems, meaning that some calculations that would take years or even centuries for classical systems to complete could be achieved in minutes. From simulating new and more efficient materials to predicting how the stock market will change with greater precision, the ramifications for businesses are potentially huge....

The breakthrough is likely to catch the attention of scientists working on quantum error correction, a field that is concerned not with qubit counts but rather with qubit quality. While increasing the number of qubits supported by quantum computers is often presented as the key factor in unlocking the unprecedented compute power of quantum technologies, equally as important is ensuring that those qubits behave in a way that allows for reliable, error-free results....

It will do this using a subset of RHEL 9 to power Ultifi, GM’s end-to-end software platform. The goal is to eventually make a smart car that incorporates all the abilities of your smartphone and more. Like Tesla, Ultifi-powered GM cars will frequently update their software-defined features online. If that sounds odd to you, well, say hello to the 2020s. As Chris Wright, Red Hat’s CTO, said at Red Hat Summit, “It was just over a decade ago that Marc Andreessen pointed out that software was eating our business....

The Reolink Argus PT camera delivers 2K resolution and has pan and tilt functionality built into the camera controlled by your mobile phone.

Leveraging such tools could make measurable contributions to businesses. For example, companies could maximize an impending opportunity, mitigate future risk, meet deliverable milestones, gain a competitive advantage and much more. How are companies translating analytics into actionable information that can be used to make better business decisions? ZDNet’s sister site TechRepublic Premium surveyed 161 professionals to find out. The survey asked about the type of business intelligence and data analytics companies use and how they are used, the benefits of analytics tools, and any obstacles which have hampered analytics efforts within the company, as well as how well executive management recognizes the business value of analytics....

Tripwire principal security researcher Craig Young told ZDNet that Canopy had been advertised to him through his child’s school, prompting him to look through the app’s cybersecurity features. “I had an interest in learning more about how parental control software is implemented and what, if any, risks it may introduce to families. I discovered these vulnerabilities by intentionally examining how the system processes special characters in parental control requests,” Young said....

Wodify’s gym management web application is used widely among CrossFit boxes in the US and other countries to help them grow. The software is in use at more than 5,000 gyms for things like class scheduling and billing. But Dardan Prebreza, a senior security consultant for Bishop Fox, explained in a report that a slate of vulnerabilities “allowed reading and modifying the workouts of all users of the Wodify platform....

A leader in the space has been Starship Technologies, which is adding four additional college campuses to its delivery portfolio: University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), University of Kentucky (UK), University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Daytona Beach, FL campus. The company will have a global fleet of over 1000 robots, and it has been shrewd in exploiting relationships with institutions that side-step civic regulatory regimes. The service has already started with an initial set of merchants and hours at UNR and Embry-Riddle and will be fully operational when students return for classes....

Tizen, a Linux-based open-source operating system, hatched around 2012, was at one point a possible third contender on mobile to Android and iOS. At the time there was also plenty of alternative options, including Mozilla’s Firefox OS, Jolla, BlackBerry OS, and Microsoft’s Nokia-fueled ambitions for Windows Phone. But none caught on for smartphones. Samsung smart TVs, however, have helped make Tizen more mainstream. Samsung said over 200 million people in 197 countries around the world are using Tizen OS through their Samsung smart TVs....

The gaming monitor usually retails for $1299. However, Samsung has launched a deal on the Odyssey Neo G7 for a limited time, cutting the price by $200 (or 15%). The sale has brought down the cost to $1099. Gaming monitors differ from other products on the market by focusing on a few features that boost gaming experiences. The resolution and refresh rate are the most important aspects of a gaming monitor so they can display games and media at their best, and as a bonus, gaming monitors may also use technology including G-Sync to reduce lagging or delays....

Samsung will also livestream Unpacked on its website and at YouTube. The event starts at 10 am PT/1 pm ET. As Jason Cipriani noted for ZDNET, we can expect the device maker to follow its standard naming pattern and call its new phones the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Those names give an indication of a device’s size, pricing, and specs. Be sure to watch out for the upgraded camera on the S23 devices....

The South Korean tech giant said its 3nm process, compared to its 5nm process, reduced power usage by 45% and improved performance by 23% with surface area reduced by 16%. Samsung’s 3nm process node uses its gate-all-around (GAA) transistor architecture, called Multi-Bridge-Channel FET (MBCFET) by the company, which packs wider channels in gates for electricity to flow threw while reducing the voltage level compared to the previous FinFET transistor architecture....

The South Korean tech giant said its 2022 roster of the technology will come in 110-inch, 101-inch, and 89-inch TV sizes. Samsung began selling MicroLED TVs as 110-inch screens last year. MicroLED uses micrometre-sized LEDs to express individual pixels and do not use a backlight or colour filter. This allows for better colour accuracy and a higher contrast ratio than conventional liquid crystal display TVs that use a backlight. Samsung said it applied 20-bit micro contrast processing technology to the 2022 model MicroLED TVs to improve HDR features of the TVs....
