Companies like CVS Health, BJ’s Wholesale Club and Rite Aid use the CorpU platform to upskill employees with the help of experts from Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professional Education and University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated the need for new approaches to workforce development, Udemy Business president Greg Brown explained. “As a result of this fast-paced change coupled with a shift to hybrid work environments, businesses are actively searching for the best ways to develop leaders and employees in a global, scalable, and accessible way,” Brown said....
The original ruling had sided with Apple on nine out of 10 counts. It found Apple engaged in anticompetitive conduct under California’s competition laws, but ultimately it ruled the iPhone maker was not an antitrust monopolist. The ruling, made by District Judge Yvonne Gonzales-Rogers, came to this conclusion as she found Apple’s developer program license agreements were not contracts and other competitors had enough market share in submarkets such as mobile gaming....
Here’s how you can put a stop to that problem forever, and not lose the convenience of USB-C. A magnetic breakaway connector. I’ve written about USB-C magnetic breakaway connectors in the past, but lately, I noticed a new design that looked to be improved, so I bought a few to test. The verdict – get a set today! Must read: iPhone 13 will get the feature that everyone wants These connectors consist of two parts....
The company published a security advisory, VMSA-2022-0004, and told ZDNet that they encourage customers to deploy their products “in a security hardened configuration” while also applying all updates, security patches, and mitigations.

Under the new digital strategy, Microsoft Azure will handle compute and cloud infrastructure for critical workloads. Wells Fargo said it will partner with Microsoft to develop data and analytics services as well as new customer experiences. Google Cloud will be used for complex workloads such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data. The Wells Fargo announcement highlights the current state of multi-cloud deals. Increasingly, Google Cloud is seen as the AI and machine learning cloud provider even if it doesn’t get the entire stack....
CTOs and IT managers at all levels will be defining and testing terms like “data as code” and “just-in-time” data analytics for their own production use cases. AI will be working overtime in the data management space, enabling call centers to mine more cogent information from customers, patching gaps in supply chains, and bolstering healthcare services, both locally and in the cloud. Here are some cogent predictions about what we can expect to see on the data management side of IT in 2022:...
The new Bing has a chat feature powered by a next-generation version of OpenAI’s large language model, making it “more powerful than ChatGPT,” according to Microsoft. Also: These experts are racing to protect AI from hackers. Time is running out With the new Bing, you can ask the AI chatbot questions and get detailed, human-like responses with footnotes that link back to the original sources. The chatbot can also help you with creative needs, such as writing a poem, story, song, or more....
Some things need a Lightning cable for charging (even desktop accessories such as trackpads and mice), some use USB-C, and MagSafe made a comeback on the Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch (and it’s likely to come back to the MacBook Pro line later this year). Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman hasn’t failed to notice this either, pondering whether Apple could streamline all this mess. For example, take everything down to running on a combination of USB-C for the iPhone, iPads, Macs, and desktop accessories, and a unified MagSafe for everything wireless (currently it’s the Apple Watch that’s the oddity in that it needs a proprietary charger), and have a single MagSafe connector on all Macs....
First, we have information on the security contents of the release. This is a big pile of patches – over two dozen. To make matters more serious, quite a few of these can be triggered remotely, and some through malicious websites. And while none of the patched vulnerabilities seem to be actively exploited by attackers at this time, it makes sense to get those installed as soon as possible so that you’re protected....
In research published in Science Advances, the team said they wanted control, but without having precious space taken up by wiring that used increasing amounts of electricity and generated heat that needed to be dissipated. “Up until this point, controlling electron spin qubits relied on us delivering microwave magnetic fields by putting a current through a wire right beside the qubit,” UNSW quantum engineer Dr Jarryd Pla said. “First off, the magnetic fields drop off really quickly with distance, so we can only control those qubits closest to the wire....
True, former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty has said at the time that the newly promoted CEO Arvind Krishna was “the right CEO for the next era at IBM because “He is a brilliant technologist who has played a significant role in developing our key technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud, quantum computing, and blockchain.” But, few people took that seriously. Krishna was seen as an interim CEO. Whitehurst, once he’d gotten a handle on IBM, would take over....
But the distribution yards outside logistics warehouses have been run largely the same way – by humans – for years. That’s about to change as logistics robots head outside. A company called Outrider, which launched in 2017 and has been operating in stealth, recently closed $53 million in funding and deployed initial pilots of its Outrider System, a solution focused on autonomous yard operations for logistics hubs. Think Tetris. Strategically, that’s a bit what it’s like constantly keeping semi-trailers coming and going with freight....
By monitoring changes in air pressure, speed, motion, and sound, the iPhone 14 will automatically connect you to local dispatchers if it detects a car accident. It’s a nifty feature that can actually save lives. Fortunately, you don’t have to buy the latest iPhone for some peace of mind. If you own a Google Pixel, car crash detection may already be at your disposal. It’s free to use and just as helpful when you need it the most....
The good news is that you won’t be forcibly migrated to Windows 11. For now, at least, the upgrade requires you to approve the installation by clicking a button like the one shown here. If you’re not ready to upgrade, all you have to do is click “Stay on Windows 10 for now.” That action hides the upgrade option and removes the associated notification icon from the taskbar. If you’re ready to upgrade, you can kick things off by clicking the big Download And Install button....
First reported by Energy Source & Distribution, the company said the incident has not impacted electricity generation at Callide and Kogan Creek power station, and it was looking to restore its network. “We immediately notified relevant state and federal agencies, and are working closely with them and other cybersecurity experts,” CEO Andrew Bills said. “We have contacted our retail customers to reassure them that there is no impact to their electricity supply and we have been regularly briefing employees about our response to this incident....
Research by the Neustar International Security Council (NISC) found that six in ten organisations would pay cyber criminals for the decryption key in the event of a ransomware attack, according to its survey of 300 workers in ‘senior positions’. That’s despite the likes of The White House, the UK Home Office, law enforcement and cybersecurity experts warning that paying the ransom should be avoided because it signals to ransomware operations that their extortion schemes work....
Launched today by British computer-maker Raspberry Pi, the Pi Zero 2 W features a 1GHZ CPU that the manufacturer claims packs 5x the performance for multithread workloads than 2015’s Raspberry Pi Zero. The 65mm x 30mm board features a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, clocked at 1GHz. At its heart is a Raspberry Pi RP3A0 system-in-package (SiP), integrating a Broadcom BCM2710A1 SoC (the same used in the Raspberry Pi 3, albeit clocked-down slightly) with 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM....
Rheinmetall Defence Australia led the way, gaining almost AU$1.5 million for a 5G remote-controlled firefighting tank. “Rheinmetall is developing an autonomous/remote control ‘Firefighting Tank’ (called the Fire Tank), which is a purpose-built firefighting vehicle capable of traversing extremely dangerous terrains to support rescue, path clearing and firefighting missions,” the government described. “This project will investigate using low-band 5G to support long-range remote control of these vehicles. The project is focused on investigating the feasibility of this technology and development of a drone-based 5G range extension capability....
This vision of the people working in tech is not, perhaps, one that all managers recognise. That’s especially true if they work for a company that has traditionally seen IT as part of the plumbing; necessary but not core and certainly not exciting. But tech has changed over the past decade or so. While the overall number of people working in the average tech department hasn’t changed very much, the composition of that team has changed quite radically....
