A Brief History of Responsive Web Design

Websites are like a canvas. You have complete freedom to design them the way you want. But, unlike an actual painting, not all people can view your site the way you want them to. The internet is huge and old, and devices are getting smaller and more compact. Now you

The Tar Command in Linux: Tar CVF and Tar XVF Explained with Example Commands

The name tar is, by most accounts, short for tape archive. The "tapes" in question would be all those magnetic storage drives that were popular all the way back in the 1950s. That suggests that the tar tool might be a bit old and past its prime. But the truth

Elon Musk says ’embarrassingly late’ two-factor is coming to Tesla app

“Sorry, this is embarrassingly late. Two factor authentication via sms or authenticator app is going through final validation right now”~Musk

Tesla CEO Elon Musk acknowledged Friday that the company was ‘embarrassingly late’ rolling out a security layer known as two-factor authentication for its mobile app. Tesla owners have stepped up their calls for two-factor authentication as the rest of the tech community has adopted the security feature.

Beefing up the security on the Tesla mobile app is particularly pressing. The Tesla app is a critical tool for owners, giving them control over numerous functions on their vehicles.

Oracle and Salesforce hit with GDPR class action lawsuits over cookie tracking consent

The use of third party cookies for ad tracking and targeting by data broker giants Oracle and Salesforce is the focus of class action style litigation announced today in the UK and the Netherlands.

The suits will argue that mass surveillance of Internet users to carry out real-time bidding ad auctions cannot possibly be compatible with strict EU laws around consent to process personal data.

The litigants believe the collective claims could exceed €10BN, should they eventually prevail in their arguments — though such legal actions can take several years to work their way through the courts.

Instagram wasn’t removing photos and direct messages from its servers

A security researcher was awarded a $6,000 bug bounty payout after he found Instagram retained photos and private direct messages on its servers long after he deleted them.

Independent security researcher Saugat Pokharel found that when he downloaded his data from Instagram, a feature it launched in 2018 to comply with new European data rules, his downloaded data contained photos and private messages with other users that he had previously deleted.

The Internet Looked at My Private Photos and Made an Ad

Super sophisticated and creepy advertising machine apparently doesn’t understand style.

We generally accept that our phones listen to us in order to serve up ads that are more effective. And yeah, we’re cool with that. And, until recently, I was cool with that.

Over the past couple of years I’ve noticed “coincidences” that have fed my yearning for a good old conspiracy theory — not the alt-right kind that drives vulnerable people to take drastic action (like drinking bleach, taking pills, and acting violently after the likes of Trump fuels the conspiracy fire) — but the kind that brings me back to the days of Mulder and Scully in the X-Files.

Google's secret home security superpower: Your smart speaker with its always-on mics

Google speakers are listening to more than just voice commands. Using them for home security could supercharge Google's $450 million ADT deal.

Last week, Reddit user Brazedowl received a curious notification on his phone: Google was telling him that a smoke detector in his home had gone off. Brazedowl, a teacher from North Carolina who goes by Drew in real life, knew about the smoke alarm — he was at home himself and had just fried some sausages in his kitchen. But up until that moment, he had no idea that his smart speaker was able to detect such events. "Google just made my dumb smoke detectors smart," he wrote on Reddit. "Pretty rad."

A Google spokesperson told Protocol that the feature was accidentally enabled for some users through a recent software update and has since been rolled back. But in light of Monday's news that Google invested $450 million — acquiring a 6.6% stake — in home security provider ADT, it may be a sign of things to come for Google, as it hints at the company's secret home security superpower: millions of smart speakers already in people's homes.

Elon Musk says he's terrified of AI taking over the world and most scared of Google's DeepMind AI project

Elon Musk has been sounding the alarm about the potentially dangerous, species-ending future of artificial intelligence for years.

In 2016, the billionaire said human beings could become the equivalent of "house cats" to new AI overlords. He has since repeatedly called for regulation and caution when it comes to new AI technology.

But of all the various AI projects in the works, none has Musk more worried than Google's DeepMind.

"Just the nature of the AI that they're building is one that crushes all humans at all games," Musk told The New York Times in an interview. "I mean, it's basically the plotline in 'WarGames.'"
