Protecting your home and everything inside its walls might be the most important job you have. Yesterday, now, and tomorrow. Period. End of sentence. Considering home security is central to literally everything you hold dear, a ridiculous deal to help protect that home should be on your radar whenever the blue moon opportunity arises. That opportunity is today, courtesy of Safe Haven Security, one of the nation’s premium home security services....

Do you want 16GB of RAM? Sure. That seems to be the logic Samsung is following with the Galaxy S20. Rumors about the S20 are now pouring in at a relentless pace, and now XDA‘s Max Weinbach – who just leaked images of the S20+5G – says the top-end ‘Ultra’ configuration could come with as much as 16GB of RAM. To put that in perspective, as Engadget points out, that’s more than PCs....

Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Kierkegaard used to say: Crack open this tasty lobster! Bitcoin price We closed the day, September 27 2020, at a price of $10,774. That’s a minor 0.19 percent increase in 24 hours, or $21. It was the highest closing price in six days.

Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Nikola Tesla used to say: The long and winding road awaits! Bitcoin Price We closed the day, October 01 2019, at a price of $8,343. That’s a minor 0.52 percent increase in 24 hours, or $43. It was the highest closing price in five days....

Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Faraday used to say: Time is money! Bitcoin price We closed the day, August 25 2020, at a price of $11,366. That’s a notable 3.46 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$407.45. It was the lowest closing price in twenty days. We’re still 43 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017)....

Photoshop is the dean of online image editing software because it can do virtually anything quickly and easily. It’ll also cost you $20.99 per month for the privilege. Or you can just get it as part of the complete Adobe Creative Cloud suite of apps for $52.99 each month. Either way, it’s not cheap. While you’re often getting what you pay for with offers like Photoshop, there are scores of users who fall into a middle ground, needing a robust assortment of editing features, but not at bank-breaking prices....

For the most part, we’ve moved on from the comical synchronization asked of us by the 20th century work week. Although we’ve been sliding towards a new status quo for decades, the combined forces of culture and automation have accelerated the rate of change in the workplace. When it comes to adapting as individuals and companies, it can be hard to get a grip. We’ve rounded up a diverse range of speakers to share their insights on the future of work at our flagship tech event: TNW2020....

Fayette County Public Schools, a 24-school district in Georgia, reopened its classroom doors last month. As at many schools around the country, officials in Fayette have concerns about safely bringing students back to school amid a pandemic — and they’re turning to surveillance technology for help. The school district recently made a deal to purchase up to 75 cameras equipped with thermal imaging. The cameras, made by Hikvision, a Chinese provider of facial recognition tools and other surveillance equipment, cost $7,000 each and rapidly estimate temperatures to monitor potential viral spread on school grounds....

A new shared ebike scheme in the UK will recruit and train unemployed and vulnerable people, paying them a Living Wage and providing access to support and services. The initiative from The Big Issue Group, in partnership with micromobility company ShareBike, has been launched in Bristol with plans to expand it nationally. “After 30 years of supporting vendors we are extending opportunities to a growing number of marginalized people in different ways,” said Paul Cheal, CEO of The Big Issue Group, the social enterprise that also runs The Big Issue magazine sold by homeless and vulnerably housed people in the UK....

Over the past 15 years, Shopify has grown from a tiny digital storefront for three Canadians just trying to sell snowboards into one of the world’s largest ecommerce platforms. Today, Shopify is the engine behind 20 percent of everything that sells on the web. Of course, one of the benefits of a platform like Shopify is that it’s paved the way for fresh, new sales models to take hold, including methods like dropshipping....

This article was originally published by Built In. One of the most liberating things about starting a business is that you don’t need a lifetime of experience to lead it. But one of the most dangerous things about starting a business is that it’s easy to make colossal mistakes if you don’t have the guidance of experienced leadership. In over 20 years of building companies, sometimes starting from a single person (myself) and other times starting from a well-established point of 10 to 20 employees, I’ve learned that the answer to that question is different for every startup and every hire....

Musk admits that he takes inspiration from science fiction, and that he wants to make sure humans can “keep up” with artificial intelligence. He seems to have missed the part of sci-fi that acts as a warning for the implications of technology. These mind-reading systems could affect our privacy, security, identity, equality and personal safety. Do we really want all that left to companies with philosophies such as that of Facebook’s former mantra, “move fast and break things”?...

In his budget speech earlier today, finance minister Heng Swee Keat said: “Our vision is to phase out ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles and have all vehicles run on cleaner energy by 2040.” [Read: UK speeds up its ban on petrol, diesel, and hybrid cars by 5 years] The country also has plans to expand its EV charging network from 1,600 points today, to 28,000 points by 2030, Reuters reports....

Since we’re all spending more time inside, working from home, and perhaps playing video games more than average (all day Doom Eternal binges in my house), we’re putting a strain on our internet. So multiple companies are taking measures to preserve it, and Sony says its contribution will only be noticeable in the download speeds: “Players may experience somewhat slower or delayed game downloads but will still enjoy robust gameplay....

According to a local report, residents in Ladysmith, a city 365 kilometres south of Johannesburg, were enticed to invest in a company called Bitcoin Wallet. The company promised easy and big returns on investments. People are reported to have queued overnight and slept outside Bitcoin Wallet’s offices in a bid to invest their hard-earned cash. Rumours about possible wrongdoing surfaced in June after local outlets reported about a possible cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, which promised returns of 100 percent in 15 days....

Content creators create. They can’t help it. It’s who they are. But whether they’re a writer, a filmmaker, an artist, or a multi-hyphenate that does it all, all that content they create starts to stack up. Research documents, raw video, recording session tracks, and other work product can take up a fair amount of digital space. While it’s tempting to just push all those files to a cloud storage account, that doesn’t always make it easy to find something you need later....

The setup: Medical professionals use synthetic DNA for a variety of reasons, including the development of immunogens for creating vaccines. The Ben-Gurion researchers developed and tested an end-to-end attack that changes data on a bioengineer’s computer in order to replace short DNA sub-strings with malicious code. If terrorists wanted to to spread a virus or toxin by hijacking a reputable lab or hiding it inside of a vaccine or other medical treatment, they’d traditionally need physical access to the laboratory or part of its supply chain....

Researchers from the University of Southern California made the discovery after analyzing activity patterns in two Twitter datasets. The first was a set of posts about the 2017 French presidential election. The second was a collection of tweets by bots and human accounts that had already been hand-labeled. They chose these two datasets because they complement each other: The human-labeled accounts reliably differentiated between humans and bots, while the French election tweets offered more contextual insights....

“It hit the fan with Babyface and Teddy Riley… [due to technical issues] a lot of people wrote us off.” The problem? Verzuz is a tall order. Originally conceived as a way to celebrate music and musicians by tapping into the old “battle” vein popularized by DJs and rappers, Swizz and Timbaland envisioned Verzuz as traditional show that takes place in front of a live audience. Taking the same level of production and intimacy and putting it online — while keeping it free and making it available to as many people as possible — required a lot of trial-and-error....

Like others in this category, these over-ears support fast charging, accept a 3.5mm input cable, and include a mic so you can take calls. But they’re a bit pricier than comparable options. Let’s take a look at what you get for your money. Design and features Still, I had no issues wearing these for hours on end at work: they fit snugly around my head, my ears weren’t strained or weighed down, and the cups didn’t squeeze the temples of my glasses....
