They sure could, and in the accompanying video above, I’ll show you how. Let’s start with the Uplift Desk, which is standing between me and the camera in the video. This is a powered desk that goes up and down at the touch of a button. According to the company, the desk has a lifting capacity of 355lbs. I haven’t tried it with anything that heavy, but I can tell you that it is definitely a very solid, robust desk....

WhatsApp — the popular messaging service used by millions and owned by Facebook — was updated today with Material Design. Google had introduced Material Design last year when it had announced Android 5.0 Lollipop. The company plans on using the new design guidelines across all its apps and services to deliver a consistent user experience. The Material Design update of WhatsApp does not completely overhaul its UI, though certain sections of the app have received a major revamp....

Problem is, unless you buy the specific mini-SSDs for the Ninja V, they tend to hang out the side of the recorder and are sometimes knocked while in use. Oh, and because only one manufacturer currently makes them, they’re expensive. Really expensive compared to standard SSDs. That’s when I came across a product called the Andycine Magnalium caddy for the Ninja V. It solves both problems – it’s cheaper than the mini-SSDs, and is smaller than regular SSDs....

That is where security awareness training plays a major role. Fortifying the weakest link may be done in two ways: Conditioning and awareness. While both deal with behavior modification, in most cases conditioning can be seen as an easier approach, and most companies will be happy with it, since it does not require understanding on the part of the user, other than being rewarded for blindly following a set of specific rules or punished for not doing so....

In the monthly security update called Patch Tuesday, a slew of fixes and vulnerability plugs have been rolled out. All this is in preparation for a much bigger update later this month. For its biggest update in years, however, Microsoft is redesigning the much-used Start menu and other elements within Windows. But is Windows 11 being released soon? Here is what you can expect from the update. Here’s the backstory Microsoft announced last month that it would no longer be rolling out Windows 10X this year....

Also: The best VPNs of 2022 “It will be very important [that] the VPN service is patched and up-to-date because there will be way more scrutiny (scanning) against these services,” said Guy Bruneau, an ISC SANS instructor in a post last week. Bruneau’s warning is just one of the many cybersecurity industry alerts published over the past few days on the topic of VPN security. Similar warnings and security bulletins were published by the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS CISA), the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC), and cyber-security firm Radware....

Officially launched recently, the POCO F1 is already known and presents itself as a true flagship killer. The world of technology is constantly evolving, providing users with devices with ever more new features and processing capabilities. However, especially in the world of smartphones, the innovations have brought an exponential increase in the price, having today already surpassed the psychological barrier of the $1000. In order to counter the exaggerations in the prices of the big brands, there are manufacturers that have launched equipment with lower prices as is the case of well-known Chinese smartphone manufacturers OnePlus and Xiaomi....

Xiaomi has been sticking to the deadlines when it comes to the MIUI updates, but the same is not true for the Android versions. For the sake of context, MIUI is Xiaomi’s overlay and is based on different versions of Android. Although Xiaomi ensures to update really old devices to newer MIUI versions, the actual Android OS version bump is hard to come by. Most of the devices including Mi Max 2, Mi 5C and the Redmi 4X will be treated to a Nougat update as well....

Johnson, the vice president of SystemExperts, says that making exceptions on the security awareness training front would only open companies up to a host of problems that otherwise might have been avoided. “Who should be able to opt out of security awareness training? The simple answer is nobody,” says Johnson. “Yes, I said nobody. What about the chief security officer? Nope. What about the director of IT management? Nope. And so on, and so on....

Android OEMs have been adding quite a lot of camera related features to their devices like slow-motion video recording, drama shot, vertical panorama and more. The Sony Xperia Z1 is no different, and comes with an exclusive app called MotionShot, which allows its users to capture a motion in just a single image, by taking multiple images and combining them into one. The app has been exclusively available on the Xperia Z1 until now, but XDA member — xperiaz2 — has managed to port the app to all Android devices running Ice Cream Sandwich or higher....

To take on Twitch on a massive scale, Google had to go big, so they launched YouTube Gaming at the tail-end of August to do just that. According to the head of YouTube Gaming, Ryan Wyatt, streaming support is coming to Android devices in the near future. This means that gamers will be able to stream their gaming antics right through YouTube Gaming without needing any additional hardware to get the job done....

Yesterday, Google started rolling out the Android 7.1.1 update for its Pixel smartphones. The update is yet to be rolled out widely and only seems to be available for Pixel owners in Canada. Google has not released any official change-log of the update so we will have to rely on the changes noted by Pixel owners out there to know what changes Google has introduced in Android 7.1.1. At first glance, the minor bump in Android version might indicate that this is a small release but that is not the case....

“Video calling is one of the most requested features from people in India. We’re proud to have the opportunity to launch this feature in India, where we now have 160 million users, and we look forward to seeing people use WhatsApp to talk to their friends and loved ones face to face,” said Jan Koum, the CEO, and Co-Founder of WhatsApp. The operation is very similar to voice calls: just open a chat window, tap the phone icon and from the menu that appears, select the Video call option....

Previously, Microsoft’s “Secure Network” feature, which works similar to an in-built VPN, was released to the Canary channel of the Microsoft Edge Browser for testing. We can’t compare its releases with previous Windows 10 releases. As per earlier leaks, Microsoft has completed working on Windows 11 version 22H2, which is codenamed “Sun valley 2”.

Xiaomi has fitted the Mi 4s with a 13-Megapixel primary sensor along with two-tone LED flash along with PDAF, the secondary camera is a 5-Megapixel sensor....

Last year when Motorola announced that it won’t be updating the AT&T and Verizon variants of the 2nd gen. Moto X to Marshmallow, it managed to anger quite a lot of its existing customers. It is one thing to roll out an Android OS update a few months after its release, but not rolling it out at all is definitely unfair to Moto X users. Now, to ease their pain, it looks like Motorola has silently updated its bootloader unlocking tool to make it possible to unlock the bootloader of the Verizon variant of the Moto X....

WhatsApp just released an application whose download is free for companies to contact consumers. In principle, it will not charge small and medium companies, but they do want to charge the big corporations for using their tool to serve the client. “We think of practical notifications, such as a flight schedule, confirmation of shipments or updates that bring value,” they clarify. Matt Idema, chief operating officer of the application, told the Wall Street Journal that they have no plans to charge early: “We have no details about monetization....
