The Hive ransomware gang now also encrypts Linux and FreeBSD using new malware variants specifically developed to target these platforms.
However, as Slovak internet security firm ESET discovered, Hive's new encryptors are still in development and still lack functionality.
The Linux variant also proved to be quite buggy during ESET's analysis, with the encryption completely failing when the malware was executed with an explicit path.

The company tried to quell public outrage at the French film Cuties by suppressing it in search results prior to its release. Internally, employees say Netflix hasn’t taken the Dave Chappelle controversy as seriously.

Numerama a découvert plusieurs sites accessibles publiquement qui permettent de créer des pass sanitaires européens. Certains QR Codes générés étaient considérés comme « valides » par les applications de vérification. Des internautes se sont amusés à créer des faux pass pour des Bob l'Éponge ou des Adolf Hitler. Si une clé publique liée à la Macédoine est en cause, il n'est pas encore possible de mesure l'ampleur d'un tel dysfonctionnement.

Apple computers are slick and functional, and macOS contains a range of built-in features to make your user experience as comfortable as possible. Nevertheless, Macs are quirky machines, and a little extra effort can help you optimize the way you use your device.
A few simple software changes and physical additions can produce a notable difference, so let’s take a look at the best ways to make using a Mac more comfortable. Jim Lerman's insight: Some quite useful suggestions here. Well worth a look.

Description by MakeUseOf "Everyone wants to be able to draw at least some of the time. But getting good at anything takes time and practice, or at least it used to. Nowadays, we have AutoDraw. "Developed by the people at Google, AutoDraw lets anyone draw quickly and effectively thanks to the power of machine learning. At first, AutoDraw looks like any other drawing tool. "All you have to do is start your doodle, and AutoDraw will then guess what you’re trying to draw. From there, you can select from a wide variety of pre-drawn images that match what you’ve created, but of higher quality. You can even fill them in to make them your own."

What are the risks of Virtual Reality data? Learning Analytics, Algorithmic Bias and a Fantasy of Perfect Data // Marcus Carter & Ben Egliston (2021). New Media and Society
Abstract
"Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology with the potential to extract significantly more data about learners and the learning process. In this article, we present an analysis of how VR education technology companies frame, use and analyse this data. We found both an expansion and acceleration of what data are being collected about learners and how these data are being mobilized in potentially discriminatory and problematic ways. Beyond providing evidence for how VR represents an intensification of the datafication of education, we discuss three interrelated critical issues that are specific to VR: the fantasy that VR data is ‘perfect’, the datafication of soft-skills training, and the commercialisation and commodification of VR data. In the context of the issues identified, we caution the unregulated and uncritical application of learning analytics to the data that are collected from VR training."
