Solus, an independent Linux distro based in Ireland, is built from scratch on the Linux kernel and the flagship Budgie desktop. This week’s release brings the KDE Plasma desktop to the growing Solus family. Solus uses a rolling release that frequently updates system files and software packages to eliminate the need to periodically reinstall the operating system when new ISO or installation files are issued. Updated ISOs are available on a predetermined developmental cycle so new users have immediate access to the most recent content. Solus started out as a new Linux distribution some five years ago as an independent operating system available for 64-bit computers only and was built around the Linux kernel. Unlike many other Linux distributions, Solus is not based on another Linux family such as Ubuntu, Arch or Red Hat. The first stable version was released in December 2015. It ran a homemade desktop called “Budgie.” Budgie is an open source project in its own right. It offers a

A data breach has hit one of India’s largest privately-held carriers, SpiceJet, affecting 1.2 million passengers in the country. Security researchers who first revealed the data breach told TechCrunch that they gained access to the carrier’s systems by brute-forcing the system’s easily guessable password. In a statement, SpiceJet said: “At SpiceJet, safety and security of our fliers’ data is sacrosanct. Our systems are fully capable and always up to date to secure the fliers’ data which is a continuous process. We undertake every possible measure to safeguard and protect this data and ensure that the privacy is maintained at the highest and safest level”. The private information of more than 1.2 million passengers were contained on an unencrypted database backup file of SpiceJet’s systems, according to the report. The details that the security researchers got access to as part of what they described as their “ethical hacking” efforts included the passenger’s name, their phone n

We’re about a week away before Samsung unveils its Galaxy flagships for 2020, during which time, we hope to see its new foldable too. Information regarding the Galaxy Z Flip has been heavily leaked in the past few weeks, and now we have some more teasers about its possible highlight features. The outer display on the phone is reported to be called ‘Focus Display’ and when unfolded, will have an aspect ratio of 22:9. There’ll also be fast charging, including 12W fast wireless charging and stereo speakers. Samsung has also published a report about its Q4 2019 earnings, in which it states that it plans to expand its premium models by launching an “enhanced 5G lineup” and new foldable devices. Ishan Agrawal’s latest tweet reveals some of the key features of the Galaxy Z Flip. According to him, the phone will have a 1.05-inch Super AMOLED display that Samsung is said to call ‘Focus Display.’ The internal display is said be 6.7 inches in size, with a full-HD+ resolution and a 22:9 aspect

India is making rapid strides in electronics production and has emerged as the second largest mobile phone manufacturing hub globally, President Ram Nath Kovind said on Friday. Addressing a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament, Kovind said the value of electronic equipment manufactured in the country has increased to Rs 4.58 lakh crore in 2018-19 from Rs 1.90 lakh crore in 2014-15. “In 2014, there were only two companies manufacturing mobiles in India. Today, India is the second largest mobile manufacturing hub in the world,” he said. He noted that the government is promoting manufacturing of mobile phones, TVs and other electronic devices, and National Policy on Electronics has been formulated in this regard. Over the last few years, the government has been bullish on making India a manufacturing base for the world and has set a target to promote domestic manufacturing in the entire value-chain of ESDM (electronic system design and manufacturing) to achieve a turnover of USD 4

SAN FRANCISCO : Private instant messaging app Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov has said Amazon Founder and CEO Jeff Bezos’ data may not have been hacked if he had relied on Telegram instead of Facebook-owned WhatsApp which is full of malicious “backdoor” bugs. Facebook has blamed Apple’s operating system for the hacking of Bezos’ phone, saying WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption is unhackable. Investigators believe that Bezos’s iPhone was compromised after he received a 4.4MB video file containing malware via WhatsApp – in the same way when phones of 1,400 select journalists and human rights activists were broken into by Pegasus software from Israel-based NSO Group last year. “WhatsApp’s ‘corrupt video’ vulnerability was present not only on iOS, but also on Android and even Windows Phone devices. Meaning, on all mobile devices with WhatsApp installed,” Durov wrote in a blog post late Thursday. “This security fault was not present in other messaging apps on iOS. Had Jeff Bezos reli

tech2 News Staff Jan 31, 2020 09:24:29 IST Apple has rolled out a redesigned version of its Maps for users in the United States, offering features including indoor maps of airports and malls. Apple has previously said that it is completely rebuilding its Maps app — the most frequently used app on its iPhones — with data gathered by its own fleet of sensor-equipped vans and with anonymous data from iPhone users who choose to share it. The company said the redesigned version will offer a more comprehensive view of roads, buildings, and includes features such as 3D view of flyovers. “Customers from anywhere in the world can navigate through New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston and Oahu, with many more places to come,” says Apple . Redesigned Apple Maps Apple also said the new version will roll out across Europe in the coming months. “We set out to create the best and most private maps app on the planet that is reflective of how people explor

SpiceJet was reportedly affected by a security flaw that exposed private details of more than 1.2 million passengers, including flight information. The information is said to have been found in an unencrypted database file after a security researcher gained access to a SpiceJet system by brute forcing the password. For now, details about the hack remain scarce, and the low-cost Indian airline has not revealed much in the boilerplate statement it provided in response to the report. As reported by TechCrunch, the breach was by a security researcher who the publication is not naming, as they likely violated US computer hacking laws. The report elaborates to claim the researcher gained access to one of SpiceJet’s systems by brute-forcing what’s being termed as an “easily-guessable password.” The system contained an unencrypted backup file with private details of over 1.2 million passengers, as of last month, including a rolling month’s worth details such as name, phone number, email addr

By John P. Mello Jr. Jan 29, 2020 4:00 AM PT A new iPhone app allows you to capture two high-quality video streams simultaneously from any of the mobile device’s cameras. Called “DoubleTake,” the free software is produced by FiLMiC, based in Seattle, which also makes a pro style video capture and editing app for the iPhone. With DoubleTake, you can shoot two 1080p video streams at the same time, in either landscape or portrait mode, using any of the cameras in an iPhone 11 Pro Max, 11 Pro, 11, Xs Max, Xs or Xr. To make choosing a camera easier, the app contains a camera picker view. It shows what can be seen in all the device cameras — four, if an iPhone 11 Pro; three, if another model. Pick two, and you’re good to go. “It’s a less costly option for people because they don’t have to use multiple cameras,” said Eleftheria Kouri, research analyst at ABI Research, a technology advisory company based in Oyster Bay, New York. “They have one device that can capture a scene with mult

Never-before-seen images of the Sun’s turbulent surface have been released by astronomers in the US. The Daniel K Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Hawaii has released pictures that show features as small as 30km across the sun, reported the BBC. This is remarkable when set against the scale of our star, which has a diameter of about 1.4 million kilometres and is 149 million kilometres from Earth. The cell-like structures are roughly the size of the US state of Texas. They are convecting masses of hot, excited gas, or plasma. The bright centres are where this solar material is rising; the surrounding dark lanes are where plasma is cooling and sinking. The DKIST is a brand new facility positioned atop Haleakala, a 3,000 metres tall volcano on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Its 4-metre primary mirror is the world’s largest for a solar telescope. The telescope will be used to study the Sun’s workings. Scientists want fresh insights on its dynamic behaviour in the hope that they can for

Facebook Inc said on Wednesday it reached a $550 million (418 million pounds) settlement in principle related to a lawsuit that claimed it illegally collected and stored biometric data for millions of users without their consent. The lawsuit began in 2015, when Illinois users accused Facebook of violating the state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act in collecting biometric data. Facebook allegedly accomplished this through its “Tag Suggestions” feature, which allowed users to recognise their Facebook friends from previously uploaded photos. In a statement, law firms Edelson, Robbins Geller and Labaton Sucharow said the plaintiffs will ask the district court to give preliminary approval for the settlement.

Apple reported holiday-quarter revenue that beat Wall Street expectations on high demand for iPhones and wearables, in a remarkable comeback from a year ago when it missed its own targets. The world’s most valuable technology company reported $91.8 billion in revenue in the first quarter, up 9% from a year earlier, against an estimated $88.4 billion. Apple said it expects sales of $63-67 billion in the second quarter, above $62.3 billion estimated by analysts, sending its stock up about 2% in extended trading. However, like many other multinational companies, Apple relies on manufacturing plants and supply chains in China, which is battling an outbreak of the deadly coronavirus. In a conference call with analysts, chief executive officer Tim Cook addressed the issue, saying Apple is following developments in China. Virtually all iPhones are made by Foxconn’s Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. in Zhengzhou and by Pegatron Corp. near Shanghai. The company is working closely with employ
