Users can work with the assistant in Office, but equally use her when playing games on Xbox One....

These four companies are bitter rivals in some respects, but when tech giants partner the results are often worth it. With that in mind, DTP is certainly an intriguing project. The official webpage for the project reveals DTP is still “in very active development”. Still, the quartet are opening the project and have published the standards for DTP through a white paper. Simply put, the project allows users to transfer data easily from one participating provider to another....

The pleas followed a fatal 2015 crash in which a California commuter train collided with a truck, injuring a number of passengers and resulting in the death of an engineer.

In 2018, 270 people died in crossing collisions in the United States....

Musk says this complaint is another reason he is pulling out of the proposed $44 billion transaction. Peiter Zatko, a known hacker who used the name “Mudge” issued a complaint claiming Twitter puts a priority on growing users over reducing spam. Furthermore, he suggests the company also lies about the quality of its security. If found to be true, the allegations mean Twitter was in breach of the terms and conditions of the merger agreement....

While the early noise suggests Mark Zuckerberg wants to do this to rebuild reputation and create a more secure environment, there are a some concerns. For example, by unifying three major services (that until now have operated independently) could make user profiling easier. Apparently all messages will be encrypted, but Facebook could monitor which contacts you spend the most time with and follow Instagram viewing to target ads across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger....

While tech companies have drew criticism for handling user data, for the most part they have embraced environment friendly operations. Recognizing climate change, tech giants like Google and Apple have embraced changes. Facebook is now following suit with a comprehensive plan. The company says it is already embracing environment changes and is moving towards being “one of the largest corporate purchasers of renewable energy.” Among the new goals announced by Facebook are plans to slash greenhouse gas emissions from operations....

Further investigation by NRK uncovered that unencrypted data was sent to vnet.cn, an address associated with China Telecom. This data was sent every time a Nokia 7 Plus unit was booted or unlocked. Microsoft sold the Nokia brand to HMD Global in late 2016 after the death of the Lumia line. It was shortly followed by a number of new Android and feature phones, with Nokia 7 Plus launching in May 2018....

Previously, the company said it was doing “no more than what is required” under U.S. trade law. Expanding on the reason, GitHub now says is only doing the bare minimum to comply with those laws. The story started when a Russian based in Crimea found is repository had been blocked. 21-year-old Anatoliy Kashkin received a notice from GitHub saying his account had been restricted. The company pointed him towards its page detailing U....

For researchers who find critical bugs, GitHub would previously pay between $20,000 and $30,000. Hardly a poor sum, but not significant considering the damage some bugs can cause. The company says it will now reward “significantly more for truly cutting-edge research”. The move is part of a revamp of the site’s security bug bounty setup, which is now half a decade old. GitHub’s refresh includes better rewards and legal protection for hackers....

According to The Wall Street Journal, third-party apps can request the ability to read all of a user’s emails. You have to agree to the permission, so it’s far from a smoking gun, but it could have unintended consequences. According to WSJ, the permission lets the employees of third-party developers read emails manually. Now, it’s worth noting that Gmail isn’t letting any developer view your emails. The permission is restricted to vetted companies for use in shopping suggestions and advertising....

Both additions are to help the OS comply with a 2018 European Commission ruling that found Google guilty of monopolizing practices on the continent. Google has often fallen foul of European regulatory laws and has been handed multi-billion-dollar fines on three occasions. “We’ll start presenting new screens to Android users in Europe with an option to download search apps and browsers,” Google’s Paul Gennai explains. “These new screens will be displayed the first time a user opens Google Play after receiving an upcoming update....

However, this time it could lead to a wider problem and Google having a Microsoft situation. We’ll discuss that, but first let’s look at why the company is yet again in hot water on the Old Continent. Regulators in the Union are targeting the Android mobile OS. Specifically, authorities believe Google has been using Android to stifle competition in the mobile market. Among the accusations towards the company are forcing smartphone OEMs to have Google Search and Chrome pre-installed on devices or to access the Play Store....

One of those measures is the Application Security Improvement Program, which protects the Play Store from malicious apps. Google says it has flagged over one million apps for security issues since the program was announced. The company also says more than 30,000 developers build fixes for 75,000 apps through 2018. Google explains what the Application Security Improvement Program does: “Think of it like a routine physical. If there are no problems, the app runs through our normal tests and continues on the process to being published in the Play Store....

“Google recommends switching to Chrome to use extensions securely,” a pop-up reads when you visit the store. “Download Google Chrome.” The search giant does not specify what security issues it’s talking about, nor does it link to any webpage that explains the statement. Both Edge and Chrome are based on the same underlying browser engine, so you’d think that security measures would be quite similar. My guess is that Google is referring to the fact that it can’t verify that Edge handles extensions in the same way that Chrome does....

Of course, $200 million is loose change down the back of the sofa for Google, but this is yet another example of the company flaunting privacy laws. Politico reports the settlement has yet to be officially announced. However, voting has been complete, and the Justice Department will likely approve. Earlier this year, it emerged the FTC was investigating Google, and more specifically YouTube. The regulator said Google was breaching child privacy laws....

Threat actors were able to get their drivers signed off by Microsoft’s program. In response, Microsoft has confirmed the issue and acknowledged during December 2022 Patch Tuesday this week. “Microsoft was informed that drivers certified by Microsoft’s Windows Hardware Developer Program were being used maliciously in post-exploitation activity. In these attacks, the attacker had already gained administrative privileges on compromised systems prior to use of the drivers. We were notified of this activity by SentinelOne, Mandiant, and Sophos on October 19, 2022, and subsequently performed an investigation into this activity....
