И для хранения относительно большого количества фотографий мы используем Яндекс диск через WebDAV.

Но вот Яндекс диск взял и заменил папки файлами.

Описал все обстоятельства и слёзно попросил по возможности восстановить папки и их содержимое.

Ну и дальше, что мы не принимаем участия в разработке ваших приложений, не гарантируем работоспособность сторонних решений и не несём ответственности.

После замены мы получаем файл в корне и лишаемся папки и возможности её восстановить.

То есть, достаточно зарабатывать в два раза выше среднего, и дальше начинает работать известная присказка «не в деньгах счастье».

При этом, в iPhone 14 нет физического слота для SIM-карты, и в рядах любителей Apple (подчеркиваю, любителей, а не профессионалов) возникла паника.

На самом деле способов активировать eSIM на новом iPhone существует несколько:ПО QR-коду.

В конечном счете, eSIM — это записанный не в карточку, а на телефон набор идентификационных данных.

ЗаключениеТаким образом, вся шумиха вокруг сложностей активации eSIM на смартфонах Apple iPhone 14 была связана с неготовностью операторов обновить свои приложения, через которые происходит активация eSIM.

Главный сборщик айфонов, Foxconn, уже больше месяца не может вернуться к запланированным результатам.

Сборочные линии в ноябре были заняты лишь на 20 %.

Таким образом, Apple в четвёртом квартале отгрузит на 15–20 млн упоминаемых моделей айфонов меньше, чем планировалось.

Теперь там беспорядки и протесты из-за того, что Foxconn не может выплатить деньги, содержит рабочих в плохих условиях и не даёт должного количества качественных лекарств.

По мнению мистера Куо, недостаток в поставках айфонов может плохо сыграть на акциях компании, которые упадут вследствие сниженной выручки, о чём Apple объявит в конце января.

Новости Фотопост: Porsche показала внедорожный 911 DakarДизайнSterrato — это Huracan, который стал слегка больше.

Если у Huracan Evo его мощность составляет 640 л. с., то тут — 610 л. с. и 560 Нм крутящего момента.

Из-за множества факторов Huracan Sterrato оказался менее динамичным, чем Evo.

Lamborghini ограничит тираж Huracan Sterrato 1499 экземплярами.

Цены на Sterrato пока неизвестны.

Не больше и не меньше.

ДизайнЕсли вдруг вы считаете Apple AirPods Max большими наушниками, то вы просто пока не видели Focal Bathys.

Они тут же выделяют Focal Bathys из общего строя, делают необычными и очень приятными на ощупь: холодный металл, красивые логотипы компании, кожа, качественный пластик — всё круто.

Сразу ставьте приложение Focal & Naim: с подключением Bathys всё ок, тут же прилетает обновление, отображаются работающие в данный момент кодеки.

И на данный момент Bathys — это образцово-показательная модель марки: драйверы из Франции, дизайн из Франции, фишечки тоже из Франции.

Система-на-чипе M2 Max засветилась в Geekbench с неким компьютером Mac 14,6.

Тут сразу подчеркну, что это не диагональ экрана, а просто некий идентификатор устройства.

Несмотря на это, система-на-чипе не получила значительного прироста в производительности: 1853 балла в одноядерном и 13 855 баллов в многоядерном режиме, когда у M1 Max было 1755 и 12 333 балла соответственно.

Ходили слухи, что это будет 3 нм, что может повысить энергопотребление, но вполне ожидаемо, что Apple выпустит «камни» с 5 нм.

Это и может стать релизом новых компьютеров Apple.

Компания Reebok представила коллекцию обуви, посвящённую героям и злодеям DC Comics.

Старт продаж запланирован на 2 декабря, а цены варьируются от 100 до 180 долларов за пару.

В команде суперзлодеев Джокер с кедами Club С 85, Харли Квинн с Freestyle Hi и Лекс Лютор с Workout Plus.

На кроссовках Бэтмена, например, кожаная вставка на шнурках, напоминающая броню супергероя.

Кроссовки Харли Квинн с яркими вставками синего и розового цвета, а кеды Лекс Лютора получили светящуюся в темноте подошву.

В 2018 году против компании Apple был подан коллективный иск от пользователей из Калифорнии, Флориды, Мичигана, Нью-Йорка и других штатов.

В иске утверждалось, что Apple скрыла дефект от потребителей, чтобы продолжать продавать устройства.

Проблема заключалась в том, что пыль, грязь и другие частицы попадали в механизм, тем самым нарушали его работу.

В ходе судебного разбирательства Apple согласилась выплатить компенсацию, а сейчас получила досрочное одобрение судьи на выплату со стороны компании в 50 млн долларов.

Из 50 млн 13,6 уйдут на адвокатов, 2 млн — на судебные издержки, 1,4 млн — на административные расходы, а остальная часть будет распределена среди истцов.

ASUS обновила ExpertBook B9 — свой самый лёгкий 14-дюймовый ноутбук.

Это на 360 граммов меньше, чем 14-дюймовый MacBook Air.

Первое — разрешение экрана: у ASUS оно составляет 1920 × 1080, когда у MacBook Air — 2560 × 1664.

Вторая — 32 ГБ оперативы и SSD на 2 ТБ.

К слову, MacBook Air на 16 ГБ объединённой памяти и 1 ТБ SSD обойдётся в $1899, а за такую же версию, но за SSD на 2 ТБ попросят $2299.

Компания Apple пополнила перечень устаревших продуктов тремя моделями компьютеров iMac: с экраном диагональ 21,5 дюйма выпуска 2013 года, а также с экраном диагональю 21,5 выпуска 2014 года и с 27-дюймовым экраном Retina 5K тоже 2014 года выпуска.

Обычно Apple вносить продукты в перечень устаревших спустя семь лет с момента их выпуска, так что в том, что iMac 2013 и 2014 года в него вошли, нет ничего удивительного.

Что касается умных часов Apple Watch Series 2, то они признаны «винтажными».

К этой категории обычно относят устройства, с момента выхода которых прошло пять лет.

С официальным ремонтом вышеупомянутых iMac могут быть проблемы.

Согласно отчёту компании Ericsson, на который ссылается ресурс The Verge, уже к концу текущего года количество абонентов сетей 5G в мире достигнет 1 млрд.

Конечно, это далеко до показателей сетей 4G, которыми сейчас пользуется около 5 млрд человек, но всё же это достаточно весомая часть рынка.

При этом отчёт указывает на то, что нередко за более высокие скорости, которые предлагают новые сети, операторы просят больше денег.

Разделение на соответствующие тарифы популярно среди операторов Западной Европы, но в целом 25% операторов по всему миру берут дополнительную плату за 5G.

В Ericsson считают, что, к сожалению, эта тенденция сохранится ещё в течение нескольких лет, так как операторам нужн…

История протестов в Китае обрастает новыми любопытными подробностями, связанными с IT-компаниями.

Как сообщается, всего за несколько недель до начала протестов Apple внесла существенное изменение в работу технологии AirDrop, причём только в Китае.

После обновления iOS 16.1.1 работа AirDrop в режиме получения сообщений от всех стала возможной лишь в течение 10 минут, после чего AirDrop просто отключается.

Дело в том, что AirDrop является одним из способов коммуникации протестующих, и далеко не только в Китае.

Напомним, смартфоны компании Huawei были замечены в том, что они автоматически удаляют видео, на которых запечатлены события, связанные с протестами в Китае.

АвтоВАЗ официально сообщил о том, что завод выпустит специальную версию внедорожника Lada Niva Travel, которая будет украшена символикой Континентальной хоккейной лиги (КХЛ) и оснащена рядом специальных аксессуаров.

Смартфон Motorola Moto X40 Pro засветился на первых полноценных рендерах, созданных инсайдером OnLeaks, который почти никогда не ошибается.

Новинка, вероятно, выйдет на глобальный рынок под именем Edge 40 Pro, то есть речь идёт о флагмане линейки Motorola.

В основе будет лежать Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, также флагман получит до 12 ГБ ОЗУ, аккумулятор ёмкостью 5000 мА•ч, тройную камеру с датчиками разрешением 50, 50 и 12 Мп, фронтальную разрешением 60 Мп и защиту от воды IP68.

OneLeaks публикует по нескольку десятков рендеров смартфонов в год, и крайне редко что-то не сходится.

В частности, он делился рендерами OnePlus 10 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro, Samsung Galaxy A33 и прочих.

Сегодня состоялась официальная премьера в России нового кроссовера JAC – JS6.

Он приходится младшим братом «Москвичу 3», который собирают на бывшем заводе Renault, ведь этот «Москвич» – всего лишь переименованный кроссовер JAC JS4.

Если российская премьера JAC JS4 примерно месяц тому назад отменилась в самый последний момент, то с JS6 все прошло гладко.

Габариты JAC JS6 составляют 4605 х 1890 х 1700 мм, колесная база – 2720 мм.

В топовой версии Luxury – панорамная крыша, электропривод двери багажника, электропривод водительского и пассажирского сидений 6 направлениях, климат-контроль, 8 динамиков, беспроводная зарядка, система кругового обзора.

Компания Cisco представила новый значительный выпуск свободного антивирусного пакета ClamAV 1.0.0. Новая ветка примечательна переходом на традиционную нумерацию выпусков "Major.Minor.Patch" (вместо 0.Version.Patch). Значительная смена версии также обусловлена внесением в библиотеку libclamav изменений, нарушающих совместимость на уровне ABI из-за удаления пространства имён CLAMAV_PUBLIC, изменения типа аргументов в функции cl_strerror и включения в пространство имён символов для языка Rust. Проект перешёл в руки Cisco в 2013 году после покупки компании Sourcefire, развивающей ClamAV и Snort. Код проекта распространяется под лицензией GPLv2.

Александр Ларсон (Alexander Larsson), создатель Flatpak, работающий в компании Red Hat, представил предварительный вариант патчей с реализацией файловой системы Composefs для ядра Linux. Предложенная файловая система напоминает Squashfs и также подходит для монтирования образов в режиме только для чтения. Отличия сводятся к обеспечению в Composefs эффективного совместного хранения содержимого нескольких примонтированных дисковых образов и поддержке проверки подлинности читаемых данных. В качестве областей применения, в которых может оказаться востребована ФС Composefs, называется монтирование образов контейнеров и применение для Git-подобного репозитория OSTree.

Разработчики проекта Nitrux представили новые выпуски компонентов, применяемых для построения интерфейса в пользовательском окружении Maui DE (Maui Shell). Maui DE образует набор приложений Maui Apps, оболочка Maui Shell и фреймворк MauiKit для построения интерфейсов пользователя, который предлагает готовые шаблоны элементов интерфейса.

Для компиляции в WebAssembly может использоваться инструментарий Emscripten.

Wasmer также доступен в форме библиотеки, которую можно использовать для встраивания кода WebAssembly в программы на языках Rust, С/C++, C#, D, Python, JavaScript, Go, PHP, Ruby, Elixir и Java.

Основные изменения в Wasmer 3.0: Добавлена возможность создания родных исполняемых файлов для любых платформ.

Реализован набор компонентов wasmer-js для запуска Wasmer в web-браузере и взаимодействия с ним из JavaScript, используя библиотеку wasm-bindgen.

По своим возможностям wasmer-js соответствует компонентам wasmer-sys, предназначенным для запуска Wasmer в обычных операционных системах.

Компания Amazon представила Finch, открытый инструментарий для сборки, публикации и запуска Linux-контейнеров.

Код Finch написан на языке Go и распространяется под лицензией Apache 2.0.

В рамках проекта Forgejo основан форк платформы совместной разработки.

После двух лет работы над проектом разработчики дистрибутива SerpentOS заявили о возможности тестирования основного инструментария, включающего в себя.

Состоялся релиз Zulip 6, серверной платформы для развёртывания корпоративных мессенджеров, подходящих для организации общения сотрудников и групп разработчиков. Проект изначально был разработан компанией Zulip и открыт после её поглощения компанией Dropbox под лицензией Apache 2.0. Код серверной части написан на языке Python с использованием фреймворка Django. Клиентское ПО доступно для Linux, Windows, macOS, Android и iOS, также предоставляется встроенный web-интерфейс.

Компания Stability AI опубликовала вторую редакцию системы машинного обучения Stable Diffusion, способной синтезировать и изменять изображения на основе предложенного шаблона или текстового описания на естественном языке. Код инструментов для обучения нейронной сети и генерации изображений написан на языке Python с использованием фреймворка PyTorch и опубликован под лицензией MIT. Уже обученные модели открыты под пермиссивной лицензией Creative ML OpenRAIL-M, допускающей использование в коммерческих целях. Дополнительно доступен демонстрационный online-генератор изображений.

Опубликован выпуск операционной системы Redox 0.8, разработанной с использованием языка Rust и концепции микроядра. Наработки проекта распространяются под свободной лицензией MIT. Для тестирования Redox OS предложены демонстрационные сборки размером 768 МБ, а также образы с базовым графическим окружением (256 МБ) и консольным инструментарием для серверных систем (256 МБ). Сборки сформированы для архитектуры x86_64 и доступны для систем с UEFI и BIOS. Демонстрационный образ кроме графического окружения Orbital включает эмулятор DOSBox, подборку игр (DOOM, Neverball, Neverputt, sopwith, syobonaction), обучающие программы, музыкальный проигрыватель rodioplay и текстовый редактор Sodium.

Facebook (запрещён в РФ) опубликовал код инструментария Hermit, формирующего окружение для детерминированного выполнения программ, позволяющее при разных запусках добиться получения неизменного результата и повторения хода выполнения при использовании одних и тех же входных данных. Код проекта написан на языке Rust и распространяется под лицензией BSD.

Компания Microsoft представила выпуск прослойки для запуска Linux-приложений в Windows - WSL 1.0.0 (Windows Subsystem for Linux), который отмечен как первый стабильный релиз проекта.

Команды "wsl --install" и "wsl --update" переведены по умолчанию на использование Microsoft Store для установки и обновления WSL, что позволило значительно ускорить доставку обновлений по сравнению с распространением в форме встроенного в Windows компонента.

Для обеспечения запуска исполняемых файлов Linux в WSL вместо изначально применявшегося эмулятора, выполнявшего трансляцию системных вызовов Linux в системные вызовы Windows, предоставляется окружение с полноценным ядром Linux.

There’s a lot of variation possible with iso tiles, but it basically come down to picking out a cube style and texturing them to represent the desired environment.

While it’s possible to create a complex set of iso tiles that includes slopes, I’m going to stick to cuboids, which can still make surprisingly varied and interesting environments.

You can even have tiles with no sides, but these can only go flat on the ground with no elevation.

The tutorial depicts various styles of tiles from flat color, to more detailed texture (not a step by step progression).

I think the flat color, and simple texture versions could be combined for a nice look, but stylistically don’t match well with the hig…

TSMC will make semiconductors on an advanced 4nm production process when it opens its new chip factory in Arizona in 2024, it has been reported.

TSMC Arizona will reportedly now make 4nm chips to support its big US clients (pic: Ascannio/Shutterstock)The new chip factory, or fab, will cost $12bn and is part of TSMC’s global expansion plan.

TSMC Arizona: why the switch to 4nm?

TSMC has apparently been under pressure from its US customers to deliver more advanced chips from the plant.

AMD and Nvidia meanwhile are dealing with US sanctions on Beijing which have left them unable to do business with many Chinese partners.

It looks like the first benchmarks of Apple's upcoming M2 Max chip have leaked in Geekbench's database.

As for the results: The overall single-core score is 1,853, and the multicore score is 13,855.

The more granular scores like crypto, integer, and floating point generally track along the same lines when compared to this chip's predecessor, the M1 Max.

Compared to our Geekbench 5 tests of a 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Max, that's around a 6 percent improvement in single-core performance and an 11 percent bump for multicore.

The technology will allow TV or film producers to make actors appear older or younger using an automated process that will be less costly and time-consuming than previous methods.

In contrast, Disney's new AI technique, called Face Re-aging Network (FRAN), automates the process.

To build FRAN, Disney researchers randomly generated thousands of examples of synthetically aged faces between ages 18 and 85 using StyleGAN2.

It's possibly the first AI solution of its kind that can dynamically alter an actor's age on video despite variable expressions, lighting conditions, a…

They've now determined that the most likely source of that signal is a supermassive black hole gobbling up a star in a "hyper-feeding frenzy," shooting out jets of matter in what's known as a tidal disruption event (TDE).

The authors estimate the jet from this TDE is traveling at 99.99 percent the speed of light, meaning the black hole is really chowing down on its stellar repast.

This, in turn, can form a rotating ring of matter (aka an accretion disk) around the black hole that emits powerful X-rays and visible light—and sometimes radio waves.

TDEs are one way astronomers can indirectly infer the presence of a black hole.

That's when a whirlpool of debris forms as the unfortunate star fal…

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has voted to allow the San Francisco Police Department to use lethal robots against suspects, ushering the sci-fi dystopia trope into reality.

As the AP reports, the robots would be remote-controlled—not autonomous—and would use explosives to kill or incapacitate suspects when lives are at stake.

The police have had bomb disposal robots forever, but the Pandora's box of weaponizing them was originally opened by the Dallas Police Department.

Some bomb disposal robots do their "disposal" work by firing a shotgun shell at the bomb, so in essence, they are already rolling guns.

The San Francisco Public Defender’s office sent a letter to the San Francisco B…

A group of researchers based in China has now developed a device that can output hydrogen when starting with seawater—in fact, the device needs to be sitting in seawater to work.

It keeps liquid water from transiting across the membrane but allows water vapor to pass through.

As the water inside the device is split, producing hydrogen and oxygen, the reduced water levels increase the concentration of the KOH solution (which had started out much more concentrated than seawater).

As a result, the water briefly exists in the vapor stage while inside the membrane and then quickly returns to liquid once it's inside the device.

The KOH solution also was self-balancing, with water diffusion into t…

LONDON—On Wednesday, Jaguar Racing became the latest Formula E team to unveil its race car for the coming season.

"If you rewind back to 2017, that's the first time that [we used] our in-house inverter for the racing team," Charles told Ars.

"We put a silicon carbide switching device, the Wolfspeed one actually... that gave us the ability to switch super fast.

That was the push on our side—we want to switch faster and see if that can give us efficiency, which it did.

So we've gotten over and over and over during these inverter development cycles, switching faster and faster and faster," he said.

A European regulator today reportedly threatened Elon Musk with a continent-wide ban on Twitter if the company fails to enforce content moderation rules required by the Digital Services Act.

Next summer, courts will decide whether Google is guilty of “misleading” millions of Google Play users by warning them against using any other app stores or services to download apps.

The legal teams for the customers suing are now joining forces with the states suing; if the customers win, Google owner Alphabet Inc. could be on the hook for an estimated $4.7 billion in damages from the class-action suit alone.

This week, US District Judge James Donato disagreed with Google in his order granting class-action status.

Lawyers representing the customers suing didn’t immediately respond to Ars’ request for comment.

This testimony largely focused on whether Google Play app store customers actual…

Unlike many of its other iOS updates, the new iOS 16.1.2 was not released in tandem with updates to Apple's other operating systems like macOS or watchOS.

iOS 16.1.2 primarily does two things, per Apple's release notes: it improves compatibility with unspecified wireless carriers, and it optimizes the Crash Detection feature on the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Crash Detection is a newly introduced feature that can notify emergency services when the phone's internal sensors have detected that you've been in an automobile accident.

But it's not clear whether the optimizations in iOS 16.1.2 address those issues or if they are simply meant to refine the algor…

Once installed, it would ask for the user’s phone number and then pretend to load the application.

Besides sending texts associated with the fake account creation, Symoo forwarded any texts the infected phone received from other parties.

The Symoo developer has links to a person behind another app called ActivationPW.

Many sites require people signing up for an account to provide a phone number that receives SMS texts.

They should also be aware that all texts they received while the apps were open were forwarded to a server engaging in illegal activity.

Eufy, a smart home brand of tech accessory firm Anker, had become popular among some privacy-minded security camera buyers.

Moore, based in the UK, started asking Eufy rhetorical questions about its practices on Twitter starting November 21.

"But sadly, thumbnails of all recorded images still seem to be transferred into AWS, so the device does not fit our requirements for privacy."

The Eufy rep also notes that Eufy "noticed it before" and plans to make its Homebase 3 store thumbnails locally, too.

Eufy affirms that its video footage and "facial recognition technology" are "all processed and stored locally on the users' device."

But as time passed, it became clear that butterfly-switch keyboards also failed at a higher rate than the scissor-switch designs.

Tellingly, this program covered all butterfly-switch MacBook models, including those that were introduced after the repair program was started, suggesting that the design was flawed in ways Apple could not address with hardware revisions.

Apple re-introduced a modified scissor-switch keyboard in the 16-inch MacBook Pro in late 2019, and all MacBooks introduced since then have continued to use scissor-switch designs.

For users who are currently using a broken butterfly-switch keyboard, Apple's Keyboard Service Program is still active, though the number of models i…

You have quite a few streaming choices for this year's upcoming Game Awards, but Valve is making its Steam TV coverage more enticing than most by giving away a ton of Steam Deck consoles.

The video game developer and distributor has announced that it's giving away one 512GB Steam Deck every minute during the live airing of the awards show on December 8th.

To be eligible, you'll have to be watching the event on Steam TV, which starts at 7:30PM ET, and you'll have to register on the giveaway's official page beforehand to enter the drawing.

To note, the show is expected to run for around two-and-a-half hours, so that's over a hundred Steam Decks to be won.

At the top of the US trending video list is the final video from Technoblade, a Minecraft creator who died after a battle with cancer.

Technoblade wrote a farewell message to fans that his father read in the video, which has more than 87.6 million views.

In second place is The Guardian's uncensored version of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the Oscars ceremony, which has 103 million total views.

The trending video list is based on US video views, which explains why MrBeast's recreation (and giveaway) of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory is in fifth place despite having 126 million total views.

"We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto topped the list with 503 million views.

To investigate the incident, LastPass has teamed up with security firm Mandiant.

Together, they've determined that the unauthorized party got into LastPass' cloud service by using information obtained from the security breach it suffered in August this year.

Further, they've discovered that the bad actor was able to access "certain elements" of its customers' information.

While the unauthorized party was able to access some user information this time, LastPass said customers' passwords remain safely encrypted.

Like LastPass, the company has assured customers that its products and services are fully functional despite the breach.

It’s been six years since Tesla, SpaceX (and now Twitter) CEO Elon Musk co-founded brain-control interfaces (BCI) startup, Neuralink.

After a month-long delay in October, Neuralink held its third “show and tell” event on Wednesday where CEO Elon Musk announced, "we think probably in about six months, we should be able to have a Neuralink installed in a human."

The FDA has also updated its best practices guidance regarding clinical and nonclinical BCI testing in 2021.

Elon Musk and Tim Cook have apparently made up following a dustup over the status of Twitter’s iOS app.

Musk, who earlier this week, claimed that Apple had “threatened to withhold’ Twitter from the App Store,” said he and Cook had a “good conversation” during a meeting at Apple’s headquarters.

“Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store,” Musk wrote.

“Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.” Musk never said what the original source of Apple’s issue with Twitter’s app was.

In addition to the App Store issue, Musk had also joined the growing ranks of developers to criticize the App Store’s 30 percent “secret tax”…

Twitter is now pushing more tweets from accounts users don’t already follow into their timelines.

The company revealed that it’s now surfacing recommendations to all its users, even people who had successfully avoided them in the past.

It’s not clear if this means recommendations will begin to appear in the “latest” timeline, which sorts tweets chronologically and has historically not included recommendations, or if Twitter is simply making recommendations more prominent in other parts of the app.

Though the change may feel jarring, it’s not the first time the company has experimented with adding more suggested content.

Google tweeted today that it’s beginning to process refunds for Stadia hardware bought on the Google Store.

The company announced in September that its cloud gaming service was joining the long list of projects buried in the “Google graveyard.”Google is refunding purchases for the Stadia controller and bundles that included a Chromecast Ultra with the WiFi-connected gamepad.

Earlier this month, it began reimbursing users for Stadia game purchases, ensuring most users recoup the money they’d sunk into the service.

However, Google isn’t refunding subscription fees for Stadia Pro (its answer to PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass ) or Stadia hardware bought from Best Buy.

If the company can’t refund yo…

So much for giggling at robots falling down.

The robot doesn't need to know how it was damaged, and can reach out roughly as quickly as a person.

Instead of a tumble to the ground, the robot braces itself against the wall like someone who just sprained their ankle.

It also doesn't help the robot recover once it averts catastrophe — you won't see the automaton limping along a wall until it finds help.

The current approach is also based around a stationary bot, and won't help if an actuator fails mid-stride.

But SBF wasn’t caught smoking weed by his parents and he’s not a teenager.

If there’s a genre that won’t die, it’s survivors doing their best (and sometimes their worst) amid a zombie apocalypse.

Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us PlayStation games offer a particularly compelling take on the story—which is why the series is soon making the jump to HBO Max.

Today, we’ve got close-up looks at the main characters thanks to a series of new posters.

Animation department and its shows on HBO Max and Cartoon Network, the possibility of DC animation finding new life on other streamers has been floated as an ideal outcome.

“With animation we used to be about staying in-house but now we are doing it on different platforms.

HBO Max is the first stop but we are in the process of closing a big deal with Amazon featuring DC branded content in animation,” she said.

Probably not coincidentally, head of DC films, TV, and animation James Gunn tweeted “making plans” today.

He would know what’s best for animation as he’s been animated as himself on HBO Max’s Harley Quinn show.

James Cameron knew everything about his Avatar sequels was going to be epic.

He also predicted that the first sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, would be about three hours long and made Fox agree to it long before Disney bought the company.

James Cameron not only knows you’re going to see Avatar: The Way of Water, h e thinks you’re going to come back and see it again.

According to the piece, Cameron already has ideas for Avatar 6 and 7 too, though he probably won’t make them himself if they happen.

“Obviously, I’m not going to be able to make Avatar movies indefinitely,” Cameron said.

Disney’s Strange World released over Thanksgiving weekend, and despite mainly solid reviews, it’s on track to be one of the studio’s biggest box office disappointments.

A number of El Salvador-based journalists are suing the notorious makers of the prolific Pegasus spyware suite in U.S. court, alleging the company sold the repressive Bukele regime spyware used to hack their phones.

The institute’s attorneys claim that this is the first time journalists have sued NSO Group in the U.S. for the company’s deployment of spyware.

NSO Group has faced lawsuits from activists and other advocates who say they were targeted by governments deploying Pegasus spyware.

Apple has also sued the spyware maker to try and block it from using its software to deploy its spyware.

YouTube users reported the app on iPhones and iPads went down today at about 12:30 p.m., with many saying it repeatedly crashes when they try to open a video.

More than 7,500 users reported issues with the app on DownDetector by 3 p.m. and 75 percent of complaints said the issues were with the app itself.

The outlet reported that it does not appear to have been caused by a recent app update and devices still running on a 17.46.4 version are currently fine.

Called brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs for short, these systems use tiny electrodes placed in the brain to “read” signals from nearby neurons.

In a livestreamed “show and tell” event Wednesday evening, the Neuralink team presented a grab bag of improvements to its technology.

“Even if someone has never had vision ever, like they were born blind, we believe we can still restore vision,” Musk said.

The Neuralink team also demonstrated how its surgical robot inserts electrode threads, using a dummy filled with a gelatinous “brain proxy” material.

These electrode threads both stimulate the brain and capture outgoing signals.

Three years ago, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors made history by becoming the first city in the nation to ban use of facial recognition technology by local government.

Dallas police ultimately used explosives strapped to a Remotec F5A bomb disposal robot—a model also possessed by the San Francisco Police Department—to kill that suspect.

But some civil liberties groups, San Francisco residents, and experts on police violence fear allowing killer robots on city streets.

Supervisor Hillary Ronen voted against killer robots at the meeting, saying that like many US parents she sometimes worries about school shootings but that the new policy opens a Pandora’s box where police using robots …

Today, Google's Threat Analysis Group announced action to block one such hacking tool that targeted desktop computers and was seemingly developed by a Spanish firm.

The fact that Google does not see current evidence of exploitation may mean that the Heliconia framework is now dorm…

After protesters in China took to the streets in defiance of the nation’s zero-Covid policy, officials responded this week by affirming their strategy but promising tweaks to “reduce inconvenience” to the public.

Now, as China finds itself caught in the tangles of its once-praised policy, there’s no clear road back to normal.

If China were to open suddenly, experts say, high case rates would overwhelm the health care system.

Here in the US, plug-in vehicles are selling better than ever, despite supply chain shortages and frequent hefty dealership markups.

According to Argonne National Lab, between 2010 and the end of 2021, more than 2.1 million plug-in vehicles were sold in the US, including 1.3 million battery EVs.

Argonne estimates that despite all these plug-ins, national gasoline consumption was reduced by just 0.54 percent in 2021.

In total, Argonne calculates that US plug-in vehicles have driven nearly 70 billion miles since 2010, consuming 22 terawatt-hours of energy in the process.

The biggest growth in plug-in sales occurred in 2021, more than doubling from the previous year from 308,000 vehicles to 63…

At a ‘show and tell’ event on Wednesday, Elon Musk said that his brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, could implant one of its devices in someone’s head within the next six months — meaning it’s not happening this year.

During the presentation, Musk said that the company had submitted most of the paperwork needed for a human clinical trial to the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates medical devices in the United States.

Previously, Musk had said that he’d hoped for human trials to begin in 2020, and then 2022.

After a conversation with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Elon Musk now says that Apple actually wasn’t threatening to pull Twitter from the App Store.

On Monday, Musk claimed that Apple had “threatened to withhold Twitter” from the store, but according to a Wednesday afternoon tweet, Musk said it was a “misunderstanding” and that “Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.”The clarification follows a cryptic tweet earlier in the day where Musk said Cook had given him a tour of Apple’s campus.

It’s unclear what else they might have talked about beyond “other things.” I’m personally wondering if Musk aire…

Twitter is bringing recommended tweets from people you don’t follow to all users, the company announced on Wednesday.

For me, the vast majority of those tweets are from people I follow, but every once and awhile I’ll see a tweet from somebody I don’t.

I was under the impression that everyone saw recommended tweets, but based on Twitter’s update on Wednesday, people who don’t already see them now will.

The change could help Twitter boost its user growth, which Elon Musk has already claimed has hit all-time highs since he’s taken over.

With the change to recommendations, Twitter joins Meta in pushing more algorithmic content, and it marks Musk’s newest stamp on the platform.

LastPass has experienced another data breach, but this time, it exposed user data.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s television-focused production arm is partnering with Amazon Studios to create new animated projects based on DC Comics’ IP, yet another sign of how the company is changing under CEO David Zaslav’s leadership.

During a keynote session at C21Media’s annual Content London event this week, Warner Bros. Television Studios chairwoman Channing Dungey opened up about some of the new moves the company plans to make as part of Zaslav’s vision for its future.

According to Variety, Dungey expressed excitement for her division in particular, and pointed to Zaslav’s openness to collaborating with outside production outfits as one of the major reasons why.

The 40-year-old Chew was funny and relaxed for most of the interview, even if many of his answers sounded straight from the 2010s Zuckerberg / Dorsey social-networking-is-good-for-the-world playbook.

Did you know TikTok enables people to express themselves and build communities around shared interests?

Chew is particularly proud of booktok, a hashtag community with over 70 billion views that has become a force in the publishing industry.

The system is “expensive to build, and it’s challenging to do it, but we are doing it to address these concerns,” Chew said.

“We are ahead of the curve on data localization,” Chew said.

Zens is releasing a new set of charging stands today, offering a mix of wireless and wired charging for up to four devices.

That last bit is what really gives this $179.95 Franken-charger its “modular” moniker, since the Apple Watch charger attaches magnetically.

You can get the same setup as a three-in-one, sans Apple Watch charger, for $149.95 — though if you change your mind later, the standalone module costs $49.95.

Along with the release of these fancy MagSafe multichargers, Zens has introduced a $79.95 60W iPad / MacBook Air Charging Stand.

The USB-C iPad stand looks a bit like the back of the multicharger was hacked off.

Telecom equipment maker Ericsson says in its latest mobility report that 1 billion wireless subscribers around the globe will be connected to 5G by the end of the year.

But Ericsson predicts that 4G growth will peak at the end of the year, with 5G racing in to replace the reigning connectivity standard.

The good news: mid-band 5G, aka the good stuff, now reaches 80 percent of the US population.

Ericsson’s report on higher prices for 5G points largely to Western Europe, where it’s common to see wireless plans divided up into different speed tiers.

All three major wireless carriers include 5G connectivity on all of their unlimited data plans and can thus claim to not charge a premium for 5G.

The Steam Deck, originally released back in February, is finally coming to the East.

Shipping of the device is finally ramping up, and the first orders will be shipping out to Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea on December 17.

Customers who have already preordered the Steam Deck will start receiving confirmation emails from December 1 onwards.

Reservations for the Docking Station can also now be placed through Komodo for gamers in these four countries.

If anyone in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan or South Korea is waffling on ordering one, free shipping might just be the deciding factor.

Thanks @tim_cook for taking me around Apple’s beautiful HQ pic.twitter.com/xjo4g306gR — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 30, 2022Corroborating the tweet, John Gruber has heard from a source at Apple Park that Cook was seen walking with Musk just now.

30% App Store fee and Twitter BlueDuring some face time with Cook, Musk almost certainly would have also brought up the 30% App Store fee along with what he called threats to withhold Twi…

Apple’s engineering VP that’s been responsible for leading efforts like CarPlay and Group FaceTime is leaving the company.

John Stauffer is set to start his new role as VP of engineering at Roblox after more than two decades at Apple and 14 years as an executive.

Reported by Axios, Stauffer was Roblox’s pick after talking with “a few hundred” potential candidates over the last year to lead its engineering team.

Stauffer has been at Apple for just shy of 24 years.

“John got to see Apple grow from a much smaller company,” Sturman said.

Over the past hour or so, some YouTube for iPhone and iPad users have reported that the app is repeatedly crashing on open.

The overall service is not down with this issue specific to the iOS client, though not all users are affected.

Meanwhile, there are also reports of the Apple TV client, as well as YouTube Music, crashing in a similar manner.

YouTube’s mobile web client continues to work for iPhone users impacted by the crashing bug.

hi, we're aware that many of you using the YouTube app on iOS devices may be experiencing crashes we're so sorry about this & have begun working on a fix!

Утекшие цитаты из внутренней переписки показывают, что доходы от рекламы в Твиттере упали на 15% год к году, а в недельном счете упали почти вдвое. Ну и из этих же писем ясно, что Твиттер Блю, подписка за $8 опять задерживается, т.к. Маск внезапно узнал, что 30% от этой суммы на айфоне заберет Эппл. https://www.platformer.news/p/twitters-advertising-losses-are-piling

А вот долгожданные (нет, без сарказма, очень ожидал) новости от Yahoo — они планируют наконец-то зарабатывать на своих двух самых удачных активах.1. На Yahoo Finance запустится прямая покупка-продажа акций. Да, это прямой конкурент Robinhood, и это прямо важно, знаю очень много людей, которые используют именно YF как ежедневный источник информации о состоянии бирж.2. На Yahoo Sports запустят агрегатор ставок на спорт, т.е. люди, глядя на спортивные события, получат возможность выбрать, на какую команду поставить не только по эмоциям, но и используя данные статистики от YS. Могу ошибаться, но кажется, до сих пор главный источник заработка любых спортивных сайтов — беттинг.Вроде бы ничего так…

Одна из самых подающих надежды децентрализованных бирж, Serum, по сути объявила себя “не функционирующим” проектом. Причина — ну как обычно в последние месяцы, проект финансировался и жил за счет FTX. При этом твиттер проекта Серум подсказывает пользователям, что есть комьюнити-форк Серума, который называется OpenBook DEX.Все это хорошо, действительно очищается рынок и всё такое. Но очень обидно за людей, которые вложились в Serum, я знаю нескольких, да и сам бы я вложился при возможности. Теперь придется буквально с лупой изучать отчетности каждого проекта, в который ты собираешься вложиться.

В течение последних двух лет компания Palantir, известная своими продуктами по анализу данных и, что уж греха таить, слежке через них, не уследила за своими инвестициями, потеряв ¾ вложенных денег. Схема была такая: палантир вкладывает деньги в стартап, который в свою очередь на ту же или большую сумму обязуется купить услуги самого Палантира. Идея беспроигрышная, да? Если бы не тот факт, что бизнес большинства компаний просто не пошел.Это не делает Тиля менее гениальным предпринимателем, но делает мир хуже — это была самая сильная попытка Палантира отвязаться от госзаказов, которые сейчас составляют более 90% их доходов. Никто не хочет зависеть от государства в наше время.https://www.bloom…

Нашлась причина, по которой Трамп пока не возвращается к ведению своего Твиттера. Дело в том, что дело о незаконной блокировке аккаунта все еще находится в суде, и Трамп твердо намерен довести его до победы. Не факт, что победа случится, но шум по этому поводу мы еще услышим.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-28/trump-s-twitter-legal-battle-lingers-after-musk-allows-him-back

Думал не писать больше про FTX, но кажется, это невозможно.BlockFI, который с момента падения FTX говорил “у нас всё нормально, мы в порядке”, по слухам, подает на банкротство по 11 статье, так же как и FTX. Причем слухи утверждают, что это произойдет уже сегодня. Планируется уволить большую часть персонала и пытаться как-то найти кредиторов, чтобы расплачиваться с клиентами. Но скорее всего, и тут возврат денег клиентов будет неполным.https://decrypt.co/115744/crypto-lender-blockfi-files-bankruptcy-ftx-contagion-claims-another

В WhatsApp добавили функцию сохранения записей и заметок. Причем очень оригинальным, неожиданным образом, просто отправляя сообщения как будто себе самому. Надеюсь, хотя бы тут никто не будет спорить — Дуровы гении и изобрели сначала в ВК, а потом в Телеграм новый способ хранения заметок, теперь уже прочно вошедший в обиход во всем мире. https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/28/whatsapp-rolls-out-a-feature-that-makes-it-easier-to-message-yourself/

Начинаем утро с новости про Твиттер: похоже, китайские проправительственные структуры начали заливать в Твиттер кучу картинок порнографического содержания, добавляя к ним геотеги или просто указание конкретных мест. А места эти — это точки, где случаются антиправительственные протесты. Да, это простейший способ перегрузить резко уменьшившуюся в размерах команду (по команде Маска она была урезана почти до нуля) по борьбе с пропагандой.Социальная сеть — невероятно сложный механизм, живущий в чудовищно агрессивной среде.https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/27/twitter-china-spam-protests/

Еще один слух, но если сбудется - это будет феерия: Эппл заинтересован в покупке футбольного клуба Манчестер Юнайтед. Я не понимаю зачем айти гиганту спортивная команда, да еще и по соккеру, не самой популярной в Штатах дисциплине. Но сама идея определено будоражит, да? https://9to5mac.com/2022/11/24/apple-expressed-interest-in-buying-uk-soccer-team-manchester-united/

Судя по слухам, Яндекс пытается получить согласие Путина на реструктуризацию. По сути речь идет о продаже российской части бизнеса (да, и назначении Кудрина главным) и выделении селфдрайвинга, образования и нескольких других проектов из непоискового сектора в самостоятельные команды под зонтиком международного Яндекса.Кажется, все логично, но как звучит бредово, да? Публичная компания просит разрешения президента, а не регулирующих органов, для того чтобы распорядиться тем, что создано и заработано. Кто бы сказал 20 лет назад — я бы точно не поверил.https://t.co/7CQ29jKXd9

Бета-версия системы Full Self-Driving теперь свободно доступна по запросу всем водителям Tesla в северной Америке. Если вы конечно заплатили 15000 долларов, чтобы выступать тестировщиком продвинутого ассистента вождения. Напомню, судя по условиям и описанию функций, это не автопилот, а система помощи водителю, которую вряд ли удастся сертифицировать по Level 3. По правилам использования ты должен всегда держать руки на руле и смотреть на дорогу. https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/24/23476570/teslas-full-self-driving-beta-release-north-america-safety-score

У stablediffusion вышла версия 2.0, технически там очень много всего поменялось. Но вот с точки зрения потребителя, пользователя кажется, что все то же самое. Качество существенно не изменилось. Как ни старайся, уверенно отличить версию первую от версии второй я не могу в 7 случаях из 10. Это я пытаюсь сказать, что не стоило называть этот релиз 2.0. Больше похоже на 1.9. Но все равно поздравляю причастных.https://stability.ai/blog/stable-diffusion-v2-release

Федеральная торговая комиссия США, скорее всего, заблокирует сделку по покупке Microsoft Activision с помощью антимонопольного иска. Сделка оценивается в 69 млрд долларов и уже несколько месяцев проходит согласование у регуляторов нескольких стран, включая США.Подобный иск стал бы крупнейшим шагом FTC после того, как её возглавила Лина Хан, известная своей активной позицией против технологических компаний. Источники Politico уверяют, что практически вся процедура уже пройдена, главы компаний дали показания, но решение о подаче иска еще не проголосовано всеми членами комиссии.И это при том, какую репутацию нарабатывала Microsoft все эти десятилетия после разбирательств конца 90-х.Против сдел…

Microsoft заявляет, что хакеры использовали уязвимости в веб-сервере Boa, который был снят с производства в 2005 году, но широко распространен в IoT-устройствах.

Амазон, как недавно объявлено, притормаживает разработку своих потребительских железок. Но вот разработка и внедрение собственных серверных чипов в своих датацентрах там по-прежнему в приоритете: только что выкатили новую версию Graviton, оптимизированного под задачи машинного обучения. Кажется, уже все техногиганты, продолжая расточать комплименты в сторону Intel и Nvidia, стараются обеспечить свое лидерство области ИИ-сервисов, опираясь на собственные чипы, а не только свой софт. Интересно, начнут ли когда-нибудь их продавать или так и оставят собственным сложно воспроизводимым конкурентным преимуществом. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-29/amazon-s-new-chip-moves-aws-into-…

Про Маска в Твиттере сейчас пишут все и непрерывно, при этом тон публикаций — особенно со стороны техноблоггеров — скорее ироничный и осуждающий: пришел, мол, как слон в посудную лавку и поломал тонкий механизм и нежные души глубоко осознанных разработчиков и модераторов. Перспективы при этом рисуют негативные, вплоть до полного банкротства Твиттера.Но есть, что интересно, и другие мнения, в массовую прессу слабо транслируемые.Некоторых руководители технологических компаний, да и не только руководители, вполне сочувственно наблюдают за тем, как Маск пытается повернуть Твиттер к более ему привычной модели управления. Например, сравните: всем привычно и кажется естественным в культуре биг-тек…

Многочисленные трудности и неудачи технологического сектора в 2022 можно попытаться обобщить и сформулировать выводы. В этой статье у журналиста неплохо получилось, все восемь выводов приведу, а вот на чем они основаны придется почитать в оригинале. 1. Состояние хаоса — новая норма для соцмедиа. 2. Череда проблем с криптой напоминает, что легких денег не бывает. 3. Метавселенная, может, и будущее — но неблизкое. 4. Ничто не вечно, а кое-что вообще живет недолго. 5. Слишком много шоппинга — бывает. 6. Всё дорожает, так что с деньгами надо обращаться по-умному. 7. У проблемы нехватки микросхем нет быстрого решения. 8. Нечего бояться ИИ. Пока что.https://www.cnet.com/tech/musk-twitter-crypto-c…

Отличная страшилка для воскресного вечера: длиннющий список штатовских технологических компаний, знаменитых и не очень, в которых с февраля по ноябрь прошли заметные (относительно штатной численности) сокращения; где-то сотни людей, где-то тысячи. Журналист сообщает, что всего за год на технологический сектор пришлось около 137 000 увольнений, если считать вплоть до маленьких компаний.Для сектора, который за время пандемии успешно построил иллюзию собственной полнейшей неуязвимости, даже не цифры, а сам факт увольнений выглядит устрашающе. Хотя по сути речь-то лишь о том, что безудержный рост замедляется (как любой рост однажды), дешевые деньги иссякли — и пора несколько пооптимизировать би…

Как минимум в Европе настает конец предвзлетной нудятине на борту самолетов насчет выключения мобильных устройств или их перевода в авиарежим. Еврокомиссия объявила, что отныне на борту самолетов европейских авиакомпаний можно использовать сотовую связь 4G и 5G в течение всего времени пребывания пассажиров на борту. Предполагается, что воздушные суда будут оснащены пико-сотами, но не уточняется, как именно они будут соединены с наземными сетями операторов. Так что до развертывания полноценных сотовых бортовых систем еще пройдет время — но главное, что покончено с юридическим давно бессмысленным запретом. Интересно, когда остальной мир подтянется.https://www.techspot.com/news/96777-new-eu-le…

В декабре выйдет сиквел знаменитого «Аватара», Avatar: The Way of Water. Трейлеры впечатляют картинкой — и за такой картинкой в 2022 неизбежно стоят серьезные, дорогие, часто оригинальные технологии. Авторы картины формулировали свои потребности так: new cameras that could shoot underwater and a motion-capture system that could collect separate shots from above and below water and integrate them into a unified virtual image; new algorithms, new AI. По слухам, бюджет фильма составил около 250 млн, все эти новые игрушки стоили недешево.

Новость хоть и не новая, но показалась мне достойной внимания, т.к. я ещё не видел варианта инпэинтинга в AR. Сейчас мы копаемся в частностях новых технологий, постим любые новые способы и проявления, но, в принципе, в перспективе нейросети настолько плотно войдут в нашу жизнь, что будут чем-то естественным и не заслуживающим внимания, как передача данных по проводам.
