Quordle today (game #975) - the answers

(Image credit: Merriam-Webster)

The answers to today's Quordle, game #975, are…

• UMBRA
• DADDY
• GLAZE
• PRANK

According to Merriam-Webster, the dictionary that now owns Quordle, UMBRA means "a conical shadow excluding all light from a given source". I didn't know that before playing today's game, but I do now – so in that sense, Quordle is doing its job! The fact that I solved it without knowing it was an accident. I had the letters U, R, B and A in the top-left of the board, but couldn't assemble them into a word. But I wanted to play something that might at least change some yellows into green, so played around with letter combinations until I found one that the game would accept as a guess. I had no real expectation that it would be right, but all five letters turned green and I solved what was probably the toughest of today's quartet.

Not that the others were easy; DADDY contains a rare triple letter, GLAZE an uncommon Z, so anyone solving today's Quordle can give themselves a pat on the back.

Have a question about a YouTube video you didn't understand or just didn't want to sit through? You can ask the AI chatbot rolling out from the video platform to answer all those questions, at least if you're a Premium subscriber on an Android device. The AI, likely fueled by Google's Gemini AI models, can summarize and expand upon any aspect of the video on your screen, like a friend who just memorized every video on the platform. 

The chatbot incorporates AI into your viewing on the YouTube app through a card in the comments section. You can swipe through them to find the Ask card, opening up a place for texting with the chatbot. There, you can ask for a summary or engage in a conversation about the video. YouTube envisions people asking the AI to explain what the video is about, clarify any details, and recommend more videos. Theoretically, it could help video creators who would otherwise have to moderate the comment section for people asking questions or looking for more information.

AI Video Expertise

The chatbot fits right into both YouTube and Google's overall strategy to make Gemini-powered AI tools ubiquitous in your life, especially on your smartphone. YouTube has released or is working on releasing features like AI-powered chatbots mimicking famous people and fictional characters and a tool to help you skip to the most popular part of a video.

That's on top of the avalanche of creator AI features like an AI music generator, which ties together with one that can remove copyrighted music from your video without taking it down completely. You can even ask an AI chatbot for inspiration for your next video and use the upcoming Dream Screen AI to create backgrounds for the video. At the rate Google is moving, AI will become as central to making and watching videos on YouTube as the standard plea to like and subscribe heard at the end of 99% of videos on the platform.

Kaspersky customers in the US have found their antivirus software has been replaced without warning with a new solution called UltraAV.

The US government recently passed a law banning the sale of Kaspersky security software and the subsequent updates for installed software, resulting in the company’s exit from the US market.

Customers reported on social media that the update was pushed without the ability to accept or decline UltraAV, despite notification emails supposedly being sent at least a few weeks prior to the update.

Demonstration of Kaspersky danger

The US has long argued Kaspersky software is at risk of being manipulated by the Russian government to hand over secrets and control of the computers it is installed on, with an initial ban on Kaspersky products from being used within federal agencies being followed by a complete commercial sales ban from July 20, and finally with a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ban on the use of Kaspersky software within telecommunications equipment at the beginning of September 2024.

At around the same time as the FCC ban, Axios reported that Kaspersky had offloaded its antivirus customers to the Pango Group, which owns UltraAV.

Kaspersky confirmed the transition in a post by Vadim M. on the company’s forum, stating, “Kaspersky has additionally partnered with UltraAV to make the transition to their product as seamless as possible, which is why on 9/19, U.S. Kaspersky antivirus customers received a software update facilitating the transition to UltraAV. This update ensured that users would not experience a gap in protection upon Kaspersky’s exit from the market.”

Former National Security Agency director of cybersecurity, Rob Joyce, commented on the transition on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “This is why handing root-level access to Kaspersky was a huge risk. Users were "migrated" - software uninstalled and a totally different product was installed automagically. They had total control of your machine.” It is worth noting that some antivirus products and anti-cheat software commonly use root-level access to scan for harmful files or software used to cheat in games.

TechRadar Pro reached out to UltraAV to provide additional context on the nature of the transition, but the company did not immediately respond. Any subsequent updates will be posted here.

Helping you keep on top of your phone notifications is something Android and iOS have struggled with for years – but it looks as though Android 15 is going to come with a couple of new features that might finally help you get on top of these alerts for good.

As per Android Authority, the latest beta version of Android 15, currently in testing, won't show notifications older than two weeks. That's something that can be an issue for people who jump around between different Android phones and tablets.

Another improvement in the Android 15 beta, also spotted by Android Authority, suggests that notification syncing across different devices might be improved, too – so new notifications wouldn't necessarily appear on all your Android gadgets.

Taken together, it should mean less time swiping through notifications that you shouldn't have to deal with, whether they were originally delivered weeks ago or because you've already looked at them on another device.

Coming soon

It also seems as though Google engineers are working to make notification alerts less intrusive on the screen, which should improve the experience when you're playing a game or watching a film and notification pop-ups come in.

As always with beta testing, there's no guarantee that any of these features will make it into the final version of Android 15, but there's a good chance that they will, and they may well get refined further before they're pushed out to the masses.

A fixed version of Android 15 has actually already been distributed to developers, but different hardware makers still need to customize it: Google for Pixel phones, Samsung for Galaxy phones, OnePlus for its phones, and so on.

Google Pixel handsets such as the Google Pixel 9 will be first in line for Android 15, and an October launch seems very likely. If you're using a different kind of Android phone, you might be waiting for a few more months to get it.

The popular adorable sleep app and Pokémon Go companion Pokémon Sleep is getting a much-requested feature. Until now, Pokémon Sleep relied on a phone's motion sensor and microphone to detect sleep duration and quality: the higher quality sleep you get, the more Pokémon are drawn to your restful vibes. However, a recent official announcement declared that you can finally sync the app to your best smartwatch or Fitbit.

The news was announced by a video (embedded below) featuring a Dratini and a Chikorita curling around a wrist, among other adorable Pokémon animations that I don't recognize (having only played the first few generations, obviously).

The Pokémon Sleep website lists compatible devices, including all Apple Watches from the Apple Watch Series 3 onwards, all Samsung Galaxy Watches, the Samsung Galaxy Fit (but not the Fit E), and the Samsung Galaxy Ring.

All Google Pixel Watches are compatible, and many Fitbits: the incompatible ones are listed as "Fitbit Classic, Fitbit Ultra, Fitbit One, Fitbit Zip, Fitbit Flex, Fitbit Force, Fitbit Charge, Fitbit Charge HR, Fitbit Surge, Fitbit Alta, Fitbit Ace, Fitbit Ace 2, Fitbit Ace 3, Fitbit Inspire, Fitbit Ace LTE." 

Analysis: The Pokémon Company have been Slowpokes

This compatibility feature seemed obvious from the get-go, perhaps even from launch. However, while we imagine many adult Pokémon fans will use the app as an incentive to get a good night's sleep, many children (Pokémon's original target audience) will also do so. 

Kids won't always have access to a smartwatch, so it didn't necessarily matter that Pokémon Sleep launched without smartwatch accessibility. However, given that most of the best sleep trackers are wrist-based (or even now finger-based with the advent of smart rings), it made sense to add compatibility eventually. 

Most of the big players have compatibility here: Apple, Google, Samsung, and so on, but one thing missing is the Fitbit Ace LTE. The only child-focused smartwatch, it only launched last month - but then again, so did the Galaxy Ring. So, I wonder why the Ace LTE didn't make the cut.

DeepX is a South Korean AI technology company that specializes in deep learning solutions across industries like autonomous systems, robotics, and healthcare. At the recent 2024 Embedded Vision Summit, DeepX presented its first-generation chips, the V1 and M1, designed for different applications, and hinted at its upcoming next-generation chip focused on AI for on-device and autonomous robot applications.

The V1 SoC (previously called L1) features the DeepX 5-TOPS NPU paired with quad-RISC-V CPUs and a 12-MP image signal processor. This sub-$10 SoC is built on Samsung’s 28-nm process and runs the YOLO v7 model at 30fps, consuming just 1-2 watts. It supports the latest CNN algorithms for computer vision and is designed for products like IP and CCTV cameras, robotic cameras, and drones.

The M1 is a larger accelerator created to work with a host CPU. It reportedly achieves the highest cost-efficiency (inference/$), power-efficiency (TOPS/W) and performance efficiency (FPS/TOPS). AI performance is 25-TOPS and it consumes 5 watts. It's suitable for use in consumer and industrial robots, machine visions, AI required IPC and HPC, smart factories and edge computing.

Partnering with LG

DeepX CEO Lokwon Kim told Sally Ward-Foxton from EE Times that the company is collaborating with LG to port LLMs to DeepX’s chip for use in mobile devices, cars, and white goods. “[AI in the device] really makes sense for their business model for LLMs, that’s why we’re collaborating,” Kim said. “They are providing their LLM technology so we can learn about the model’s characteristics and optimize for on-device applications.” The result will be an NPU chip optimized for running LLMs on-device, but initially, it will function solely as an accelerator. It is expected to take another 3-5 years to develop a fully LLM-capable SoC.

The next chip on DeepX’s roadmap is the V3, developed in response to feedback from Chinese and Taiwanese customers. The V3 will reportedly feature a 15-TOPS dual-core DeepX NPU with quad-Arm Cortex A52 CPU cores and will operate below 5 watts on average. “Previously we used a RISC-V CPU, but customers wanted to have Arm,” Kim told Ward-Foxton. “That’s why we targeted an Arm quad-core there. Customers also wanted USB 3.1, a more powerful ISP -not an upgrade on the NPU. That’s why we redesigned it.”

As EE Times explains, “Customers wanted Arm CPUs in part because the Arm ecosystem can provide better security solutions - many customers are building security camera systems. Other customers want to run the robot operating system, which is now supported on Arm, though it has not come to RISC-V yet.”

DeepX says it will continue to offer the RISC-V-based V1 alongside the Arm-based V3 (samples of which are expected by the end of 2024), promising to support both architectures well into the future.

Considering that the Google Pixel Watch 3 launched on September 10, 2024, in two sizes, new Fitbit integrations, and running Wear OS 5, it was likely only a matter of time before some of its software features began to trickle down to previous Pixel Watches.

Like clockwork, Google has announced that the latest Pixel Watch Update brings Wear OS 5 to the original Pixel Watch and the Pixel Watch 2. The update is just beginning to roll out now and is being done in phases, so you may not see it immediately available as an over-the-air update. 

It also brings with it more than just bug fixes and security patches. 

Wear OS 5 arrives on the Pixel Watch 1 and 2

Google’s latest version of WearOS isn’t necessarily a redesign or a rethinking, but it brings a few changes that Pixel Watch wearers can take advantage of. Beyond bug fixes, you can expect new colors for watch faces and more widgets – aka complications – to pick from. You can also put different data metrics on the watch face from the developer side.

Like the Pixel Watch 3, the new app grid launcher will arrive on the first- and second-generation, making it easier to find and view all the apps. Better Camera Controls are arriving, so you can use your Pixel Watch as a viewfinder for your connected smartphone's camera. It becomes more practical and less of a gimmick. Pixel Recorder will also arrive on the wrist.

Google promises many quality-of-life improvements in WearOS 5, such as squashing bugs and ‘performance updates.’ To be eligible to receive the WearOS 5 update, you’ll need to ensure that the first-generation or second-generation Pixel Watch is running either Wear OS 3.5 or Wear OS 4.

WearOS 5 is housed within the September 2024 update, which is now rolling out in waves, so it might appear immediately. If you’re inclined to check, you’ll swipe down from the watch face on the Pixel Watch and tap Settings. From there, navigate to System then System Updates to check for an update. If one is found, you can install it and wait as the Pixel Watch goes through the motions of downloading, installing, and restarting. 

No matter how you get WearOS 5, it's great to see Google continuing to support its previous generation Pixel Watches.

First of all, please stop calling the new iPhone 16 Camera Control a button....Just kidding. You can call it a button, but it is more than that. It's a multi-function control that accepts full presses, light presses, and gestures. And now I know that it works perfectly with on-screen controls.

As you may know from reading our extensive reviews of the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16 Plus, the new Camera Control, which sits on the right side of the latest phones, just below the power button, gives you instant access to your iPhone Camera app.

When you press it, a little control window appears on the Super Retina XDR display, right next to the physical button. It's a flexible black window that grows and shrinks depending on your control. So, the camera selection is slightly smaller than when scrolling through the main menu of exposure, depth zoom, cameras, styles, and tones.

In my experience, it's pretty easy to use all of these controls when holding the phone in a landscape position, which makes the Camera Control feel more or less like the shutter button on a traditional camera. Using it when the phone is in a vertical position, which I often do, is more awkward.

There is, it turns out, another way to use Camera Control: You can touch the screen.

I know that seems obvious, but once you start using Camera Control, you basically train yourself how to use a combination of single and double presses and sliding gestures on the button to control the camera. Touching the screen almost doesn't even occur to you, though I guess it should. 

After all, what's the point of having anything appear on the touch screen if you can't touch it?

How to do it

(Image credit: Future)

Here's how it works. You can still access the camera app with a full press of the Camera Button. After that, you press it again lightly (you'll feel the haptic vibration under the button's sapphire surface)  once or twice to access your desired camera feature. Next, instead of sliding your finger on the Camera Control button, you slide your finger up and down on the screen.

This is helpful in one-handed vertical mode because you can use your thumb to select different modes quickly, and yes, you can tap on some of the on-screen selections like "Camera" to access the camera list and then slide on the screen to a different lens.

On-screen control is also useful in landscape mode. When I start with the Camera Control button, my index finger naturally drops down onto the screen to slide back and forth and select options in the little black Camera Control area.

If you thought that Camera control wasn't for you because it's a physical control for things you usually do on a screen, this is a way to have your cake and eat it too: a winning combination of physical and touch-screen control.

Hackers have modified the infamous Mallox ransomware to also target Linux systems, experts have claimed.

The new version is called Mallox Linux 1.0, and was recently discovered by cybersecurity researchers SentinelLabs, after Mallox’s operators mistakenly leaked their tools.

The analysis of the tool led the researchers to conclude that Mallox Linux 1.0 is actually a rebrand of the Kryptina encryptor. Kryptina was built last year by a threat actor alias “Corlys”, who tried to rent the tool for roughly $800. However, since the cybercriminal community did not show much interest in the tool, Corlys shared it for free, in hopes that someone might pick it up.

TargetCompany

Now, it seems Mallox did, since the new variant uses Kryptina’s source code, the same encryption mechanism (AES-256-CBC), and the same decryption routines. Furthermore, it uses the same command-line builder and configuration parameters, too. Therefore, Mallox devs only changed the name and appearance of the encryptor, and removed any mention of Kryptina from the documents. Everything else is left unchanged.

For now, there is no word on potential victims, but in their analysis, researchers from Kaspersky said Mallox affiliates “do not restrict their activities to a specific country”. Instead, they attack vulnerable companies wherever they are. However, the majority of the firms struck by a variant of Mallox are located in either Brazil, Vietnam, or China.

The ransomware is also known as Fargo, or TargetCompany, and has been active in one form or another since June 2021. At first, it was targeting mostly unsecured MS-SQL servers, Sekoia found. Another Mallox hallmark is to threaten the victims, especially those in the European Union, about potential GDPR violations.

Between October 2022 and March 2023, its affiliates stole data from at least 20 organizations.

New research involving 26,000 participants has revealed the vital importance of movement for office workers, confirming that continuous desk work can have a drastic impact on your mental health. 

A new study commissioned by ASICS, dubbed 'State of Mind,' has revealed "a strong connection between sedentary behavior and mental well-being with State of Mind scores declining the longer individuals remain inactive." 

We all know that sitting behind a desk can get pretty tiring and draining after a while, but just how bad is the problem? Turns out it's pretty bad. The research concluded that "after just two hours of continuous desk work State of Mind scores begin to drop and stress levels rise." 

And after four hours of uninterrupted desk work, workers' stress levels increased by nearly 20%. Help is at hand, though, thanks to a new Desk Break experiment. 

15 minutes of movement is all it takes

Dr. Brendon Stubbs from King's College London has conducted a study examining the impact of movement on the mental well-being of office workers. Participants took daily 5-minute movement breaks and 15 minutes of exercise after three to four hours of work. 

After just one week of movement breaks, State of Mind scores went up by more than 22%, with confidence increasing as well as anxiety and perceived stress levels dropping by double digits. It's not just a feel-good factor, either. Just 15 minutes of exercise during the workday boosted productivity by fully one-third, and focus by more than 28%. 

"We have shown previously that just 15 minutes of exercise in leisure time can result in a meaningful improvement in people's State of Mind scores," Dr Stubbs concluded. "But what surprised us with the Desk Break experiment was how powerful the 15-minute movement breaks were in improving well-being and reducing stress. It even changed people's perceptions of their workplace for the better."    

If that's too many numbers after a long day at the office, just watch ASICS new 'The Desk Break' public service announcement, starring an angry Brian Cox. (Above)

ASICS is calling for office-based employees around the world to take a Desk Break for their mental health. Luckily, there's plenty of tech on hand to help you get a head start. 

One of the best standing desks on the market might help you with mobility, posture, and overall activity, but part of taking a desk break is leaving your workspace to help clear your mind. Many of the best smartwatches on the market, such as the Apple Watch Series 10, come with built-in 'time to stand' reminders that can remind you to get up and stretch your legs. 

On a lunch break, why not use Garmin Connect to put together a quick 25-minute walk or run over lunch? You could even try Hugh Jackman's 7-minute workout (twice, preferably) or a quick Apple Fitness Plus activity. You'll also get some benefits from an under-desk treadmill, which can be handy during calls, meetings, or training, but remember actually to get away from your screen at some point, too.

Microsoft has had a tricky year when it comes to cybersecurity, with the tech giant experiencing a slew of security incidents related to its products in recent months.

Firstly, Russian state-sponsored hackers were able to steal US government emails by compromising Microsoft corporate email accounts. An attack in 2023 by a Chinese state-sponsored group saw Microsoft Exchange Online mailboxes breached, including those belonging to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, US Ambassador to the PRC R. Nicholas Burns, and Congressman Don Bacon.

Having then claimed security would be its number one priority, the company has now released a progress update on the Secure Future Initiative (SFI) - a program launched in November 2023 to advance Microsoft’s cybersecurity protection.

Safeguarding the future through the lessons of the past

Microsoft’s SFI update provides an overview on the progress being made to “prioritize security above all else” including updates to governance, new upskilling programs, employee security reviews, and how Redmond is addressing its core pillars of cybersecurity.

In the last year, Microsoft has enhanced its governance by creating a Cybersecurity Governance Council made up of Deputy Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) that regularly review all things cybersecurity, including risk, compliance and defense.

Executives have also had their pay tied to security performance to enhance accountability and instill incentive to focus heavily on avoiding errors and improving on past performance. Moreover, the company introduced a Security Skilling Academy to provide employees with new cybersecurity skills and knowledge.

As for Microsoft’s six key cybersecurity pillars, the company has taken steps to improve identity and secret protection by boosting token management and phishing resistance in Microsoft’s access management solution, Microsoft Entra ID. Tenant and production protection has been enhanced through the streamlining of app lifecycle management, and the reduction of the attack surface through the removal of inactive tenants.

Network protection has been improved by isolating certain virtual networks with backend connectivity to reduce the potential for lateral movement, and Admin Rules for Azure Storage, SQL, Cosmos DB, and Key Vault have been increased to help customers secure themselves.

The SLI has also resulted in 85% of Microsoft’s production build pipelines for commercial cloud using centralized governance, Personal Access Tokens have been reduced to a seven day lifespan, and checks have been introduced into the software development cycle alongside reducing the number of elevated roles that can access engineering systems.

Threat detection and monitoring has been streamlined through the introduction of standardized security audit logs and centralized log management covering 99% of network devices.

Finally, Microsoft has committed to improving transparency and reducing their time to mitigate common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) across its cloud infrastructure by updating processes, as well as establishing the Customer Security Management Office to improve customer communication when a security incident occurs.

“The work we’ve done so far is only the beginning. We know that cyberthreats will continue to evolve, and we must evolve with them," noted Charlie Bell, Executive Vice President of Microsoft Security.

"By fostering this culture of continuous learning and improvement, we are building a future where security is not just a feature, but a foundation.”

HP has unveiled plans to end some of the most common printing woes with the launch of a new service powered by AI.

Designed to "change how the world prints", HP Print AI will look to make printing less of a chore, tackling annoying or tricky challenges for home users and office workers alike.

The launch should also mean your printer produces most consistent, high-quality output, with a new collaboration tool also helping to boost productivity among teams based in different locations.

The first AI-powered feature to be introduced in the slightly hubris-y "Perfect Output", which HP says will make printing from sources such as web browsers and spreadsheets smoother.

Printing items such as news articles, recipes and how-to guides from a browser often yields unnecessary white space and issues with image sizes or ads being included - and Perfect Output looks to solve this by detecting "unwanted content" such as ads and web text, printing only what you need, solving not just time, but ink and paper.

The tool also looks to make printing from spreadsheets less painful, offering a printable selection that doesn't split tables or charts across pages.

Elsewhere, the platform will look to provide greater collaboration for businesses scanning lots of documents to get customer information. The new HP Scan AI Enhanced tool is able to identify the type of document being scanned, and extract the desired information based on your specific business needs, saving especially smaller businesses time and money being spent on manual data upload tasks.

"We are transforming the printing experience with HP Print AI, making it easier and more intuitive," said Tuan Tran, HP President of Imaging, Printing, and Solutions. "Introducing AI solutions across our portfolio will simplify printing, ignite creativity, and accelerate collaboration – all while ensuring customer data is protected and kept private. This is our first step in setting a new standard for printing."

HP Print AI is available today, with the company saying it intends to continue launching extra capabilities throughout 2025.

If you're looking for the perfect pair of earbuds, we know where to look. The new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds at John Lewis deliver exceptional audio, state of the art noise cancelling and all-day comfort. These are incredible earbuds with legendary sound and cutting-edge features– but they don't come with a hefty price tag. These are the most affordable QuietComfort Earbuds ever, and if you're looking for the ultimate everyday earbuds for music, movies, podcasts and more, we think you've just found the perfect pair.

Make every day sound epic

Bose have won tons of awards for the epic sound of their headphones, and these earbuds are no exception: they deliver Bose's incredible, iconic sound and combine it with cutting-edge noise cancellation to remove unwanted audio and get you closer to the music than ever before. And with up to 8.5 hours of go-with-the-flow stamina they'll soundtrack even the biggest adventures.

The world can wait

One of our very favourite technologies is active noise cancellation, ANC for short: it listens to the world around you and removes all of the sounds you don't want to hear so you can focus on your music, your movie, your game or your podcast and hear even the tiniest details with incredible clarity. 

Bose knows a thing or two about noise cancelling: they were making the world's very first active noise cancelling headphones more than 20 years ago, and they've been leading the field ever since. When it comes to keeping the outside world quiet, the new QuietComfort Earbuds are state of the art silencers.

Soundtrack your epic adventures

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds have serious stamina: in addition to that superb 8.5-hour battery life their case can recharge them a further two and a half times before it's time for a top-up. You can do that with wired or with wireless charging, because the case works with both.

There's good news for UK wearers too: the QuietComfort Earbuds are IPX4 rated for water resistance, so no amount of splashes, drips or sprays on rainy days will hold you back.

(Image credit: Bose) Even better Bluetooth

One of the most important features of the QuietComfort Earbuds is one you won't notice: because they have Bluetooth 5.3 they deliver a solid, strong and continuous connection to ensure that you hear beats drop, not audio drop-outs. And that strong connection is long-distance, with a range of 9m. That's not all. There's Bluetooth multipoint too, enabling you to switch instantly between your laptop, your phone and your other devices with ease. And thanks to the customisable tap settings for playing, pausing, skipping songs and upping the volume, you're always in complete control of your audio, no matter what you're listening to.

As unique as your ears

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds makes your buds truly personal. The Bose QCE app includes a five-band adjustable EQ to get the sounds they way you want them, dialling in as much bass, mid-range and treble as you like – so you can make your music big on bass, incredibly airy, or both. The app enables you to switch between ANC settings and go from Quiet to Aware and Off. And you can customise the controls and manage your connected devices too. With the Bose QCE app you can control every aspect of your audio experience to make your QuietComfort Earbuds uniquely yours.

The new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds bring Bose's legendary noise cancelling technology and superb sound together with state of the art Bluetooth for rock-solid connections, instant switching between your different devices, all day battery life and incredible comfort. Not only that, but they're available at an incredible price that means even more people can enjoy all the benefits of Bose's audio expertise. 

The new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are the perfect partner for your music, podcasts and more. And John Lewis is the perfect place to buy them: its customer service is as legendary as Bose's audio, its experts are always on hand to help you find the perfect product and its famous Never Knowingly Undersold promise ensures that you'll always get a great price too.

Python developers working on Mac devices are being targeted by North Korean hackers once again experts have warned.

A report from cybersecurity researchers Unit 42 has claimed the attacks are, at least to some extent, part of the so-called Operation Dream Job, run by Lazarus Group, an infamous hacking collective on North Korea’s payroll. It revolves around creating fake job ads and luring software developers to apply. During the hiring process, the crooks would trick the devs into downloading and running malicious packages, thus granting the attackers access to important resources.

In this instance, the criminals were observed uploading weaponized Python packages to PyPI, one of the world’s most popular Python package repositories.

PondRAT

So far, the researchers identified four packages, which were subsequently reported and removed from the platform:

real-ids (893 downloads)
coloredtxt (381 downloads)
beautifultext (736 downloads)
minisound (416 downloads)

These packages were allegedly holding a piece of malware called PondRAT. This remote access trojan is a stripped-down version of POOLRAT (also known as SIMPLESEA), a known macOS backdoor that Lazarus was observed deploying in the past.

PondRAT can’t do all the things POOLRAT can, but it can still upload and download files, run arbitrary commands, or even stop working for a while.

"The evidence of additional Linux variants of POOLRAT showed that Gleaming Pisces has been enhancing its capabilities across both Linux and macOS platforms," Unit 42 said. Gleaming Pisces, Unit 42 claims, is a sub-group of Lazarus.

"The weaponization of legitimate-looking Python packages across multiple operating systems poses a significant risk to organizations. Successful installation of malicious third-party packages can result in malware infection that compromises an entire network."

For months now, Lazarus has been creating fake job ads, attempting to compromise developers working in high-profile organizations. It was also seen trying to get hired by these firms, too.

Sony has unveiled two new additions to the Sony Inzone line of gaming monitors, the Inzone M9 II and and the Inzone M10S.

Both models represent a departure from the white, PlayStation-like aesthetic that has come to characterize the brand since its inception. The Inzone M9 II, a successor to the existing Sony Inzone M9, has a sleek black look with a redesigned monitor stand.

The new stand, which has a thin rounded base, now allows for a 360 degree rotation which would be perfect if you need to quickly adjust your display position or swap out cables from the back. The Inzone M9 II also has an improved tilt range compared to its predecessor too, allowing for adjustment by up to 30 degrees rather than 20.

The level of Height adjustment available has also been enhanced, with 13cm of adjustment compared to just 7cm. I saw this model back at Gamescom 2024 and was very impressed by the versatility of the overall design, especially compared to the more limited, tripod-like base of the original. Sony also claims that the display in-built speakers have been overhauled, though I’m eager to spend more hands-on time with the monitor before coming to a definitive conclusion as to whether they are that much better.

Changes have also been made to the specs of the 27-inch IPS panel itself, which is at the same 4K resolution but has a higher 160Hz refresh rate. Best of all, these improvements come alongside a price cut, taking the monitor from $899.99 / £999 to $799.99 / £899.

Although still quite expensive, it looks like a great fit for PS5 gaming, especially if you intend to pick up a PS5 Pro, and could very well rank among some of the best monitors for PS5 when it releases.

The second model revealed, the Inzone M10S, has been designed with competitive PC gaming in mind. Created in collaboration with esports giant Fnatic, this £1,199 / $1,099.99 model offers a 27-inch OLED display with a remarkable 480Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms grey-to-grey (GtG) response time.

Paired with an even thinner, but still very versatile, base and a well-designed stand, you have an absolute dream for competitive shooters like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant. I’ve been using the monitor for awhile now and have had a great experience, detailed in our new Sony Inzone M10S review.

Despite being designed primarily for PC gaming, the Inzone M10S still features an automatic PS5 mode for console play.

I’ve been using Apple Intelligence on my iPhone 16 Pro Max for nearly a week now and overall it's been a great experience. From Writing Tools that help you to quickly format text (creating tables is seriously useful), to Clean Up, which removes unwanted objects from photos, Apple Intelligence truly feels like the next generation of iOS, and that’s exciting. 

I do have one issue with the iOS 18.1 public beta, however, and while the feature in question is a pain, it points towards a bigger issue that seriously needs addressing before the official launch in October.

So what exactly is getting on my nerves? Well, Apple Intelligence loves summaries, and most of the time they're actually pretty good. Having Apple Intelligence summarize an article, for example, is a great way to see if you want to read the whole thing before committing to it. It's also handy for emails, where you often want to get to the core of the information quickly, condensing the subject into a single line so you know if you should click in or not.

When it comes to summarizing any form of instant messaging, however, it’s one of the weirdest and most dystopian things I’ve ever encountered on an iPhone. Seeing Apple Intelligence streamline my friends and family members’ messages into single lines of text that have a robotic tone freaks me out a little, especially considering that seven out of 10 times it gets the point of the messages completely wrong.

Essentially, Apple Intelligence reads multiple messages for you and summarizes them into a single notification on your lock screen. From there you can get a glance at a message’s contents without opening the chat and reading a wall of text. It’s an intriguing concept that if done right could be brilliant, but in its current state it just feels like cheap generative AI taking over your friends’ personalities.

Notification summaries for messages often can’t understand the difference between a statement and a question, leading to confusing notifications on my Lock Screen. In that sense, it misses the mark in what it’s trying to achieve by not even making your life easier, instead forcing you to click notifications to read the original messages to get the gist of things. Everyone has their own way of writing, and Apple Intelligence’s inability to perceive and adapt the summaries to tone of voice makes me feel uneasy whenever I get multiple messages in from someone I know very well, like my girlfriend.

Thankfully you can turn the feature off – more on that below, but for me its existence poses a bigger question, and one which I’ve been thinking about a lot recently as more iPhone owners than ever finally get to use on-device AI: will we all just start sounding the same? Will everyone start using Writing Tools to tell their loved ones how much they mean to them? Will communication evolve to a point where it's just two people sending Smart Replies to each other? I digress, but you get the idea: Apple Intelligence, and more specifically these notification summaries, are creeping me out.

Please make this easier, Apple

(Image credit: Apple)

While you can turn these summaries off, how you do this is not immediately obvious. The only option under the Apple Intelligence settings is one for turning Apple Intelligence on or off entirely. Instead you need to go into Notifications settings, where you can switch off notification summaries.

This opens up a different discussion: why are Apple Intelligence settings so hard to find and why can’t Apple just list all features inside the Apple Intelligence settings panel for users to decide themselves? There should be a list of all of Apple Intelligence’s AI-powered tools in one settings panel. so you can just toggle off whatever you want to use. Many users who get their hands on Apple Intelligence for the first time next month will have issues finding where to turn off and tweak each feature, but it shouldn’t be this hard – just put them under Apple Intelligence settings.

In this instance, I’m not against notification summaries; I’m against notification summaries in their current form. So while at some point I’ll probably use Apple Intelligence to condense my pings, at the moment I just want to turn them off.

Now that I know I can turn them off by finding the settings nestled into iOS, I’ve decided to opt out of being Apple Intelligence’s test rat when it comes to my day-to-day interactions. If, however, Apple’s AI starts to learn from tone of voice and understand sarcasm a bit better then I’ll be open to trying it out again.

iOS 18 brings major upgrades to core iPhone apps including Messages, Photos, and Maps, but arguably one of the most useful improvements comes to your iPhone’s built-in calculator.

Before, the Calculator app was just a calculator (albeit a basic and scientific one), but in iOS 18, it doubles as a conversion tool for converting units and currencies, which should make questions like “can I afford to spend €100 on these shoes?” easier to answer.

If, say, you want to know what five British pounds equates to in US dollars, you simply enter the number 5 into the number field (as if you were inputting a mathematical sum), tap the calculator icon in the bottom left corner of the screen, select the Convert toggle, then choose the currency of your choice. Et voilà! Now you know that £5 is too much to spend on an Iced Matcha Latte from Blank Street Coffee (even if you are in London).

To convert units, tap the currency acronym, then scroll along to find your desired unit. Repeat that step for the bottom figure, and you’re good to go.

Here’s a TikTok explaining the above in visual terms:

Incidentally, the Calculator app now also features a toggle for Math Notes (respectfully branded as Maths Notes in the UK), which allows you to pencil in equations, assign variables, plot graphs, and draw diagrams. Your iPhone will solve said equations inline when you write or type an equals sign, so as well as being a currency converter for your pocket, the iPhone Calculator is a useful homework companion in iOS 18, too.

MoneyGram has said it is experiencing a “cybersecurity issue” that has forced it to shut down parts of its IT infrastructure.

The incident seems to have started on Friday, when customers first started complaining about the service not being operational. The company posted its first announcement on X on Sunday, saying it was experiencing a network outage, but in replies to the tweet, the customers slammed the company for “waiting this long to admit there is a problem.”

A day later, MoneyGram gave more details, saying it identified a “cybersecurity issue”, which forced it to take parts of its IT infrastructure offline, launch an investigation, and bring in external cybersecurity experts and law enforcement. The company did not clearly state if this was a ransomware attack, and no ransomware operators have assumed responsibility for the attack yet.

Money stuck in the void

At press time, the company’s website was still offline, holding only a short message saying “We're busy updating the website. Please check back soon.”

MoneyGram also did not say which services it had to bring down, but since customers from all over the world are complaining, it’s safe to assume that online transactions are not working. The Register reports that in-person payments are also not operational.

There is currently no ETA on when the company might bring its services back online. If similar incidents elsewhere are any indication, it could take up to a week to restore at least some systems.

MoneyGram is a hugely popular solution, with more than 150 million customers worldwide. And by being a payments processor, it is a prime target for cybercriminals. If crooks managed to steal sensitive data from the company, it could spell trouble for many people.

Sony's latest PlayStation State of Play broadcast is almost here, which will hopefully provide us with a new look at some brand-new titles as well as a fresh look at the PS5 Pro.

To prepare for the showcase, here's everything you need to know, including how and when to watch, what to expect, and some predictions for the showcase we might have.

Start time

Sony's State of Play is scheduled to broadcast tonight on September 24 at 11pm BST / 3pm PT / 6pm ET and September 25 at 12am CEST / 7am JST.

State of Play returns tomorrow!Watch live at 3pm PT on September 24 for news and updates on over 20 titles: https://t.co/TL29c6AbpZ pic.twitter.com/RV71SC2eseSeptember 23, 2024

Where to watch

You'll be able to watch the State of Play broadcast on PlayStation's official YouTube and Twitch channels. As with every showcase, we can expect there to be a countdown before the live stream's scheduled start time of up to 10 minutes.

What to expect

Sony has confirmed that tonight's State of Play showcase will be 30+ minutes and will provide "news and updates on more than 20 upcoming PS5 and PS VR2 games from studios around the world."

In terms of what those games are, we now have leaked confirmation that Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered will be announced alongside a gameplay trailer.

The remastered versions of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 were leaked on PSN earlier today and will be coming to PS5 and PS4 on December 10 to celebrate the series' 25th anniversary.

Although it hasn't been verified at this time, there's strong reason to believe that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for PS5 and PC will also be officially revealed after a recent leak on the ESRB website, as well as a Days Gone remaster.

Following the PS5 Pro announcement, and with PS5 Pro pre-orders set to begin this week as well, tonight's State of Play could potentially feature future titles for the mid-generation console and some overview of the boost in performance they'll get from the new hardware.

Some titles that could make an appearance range from Marvel's Wolverine, which has been quiet for a few years now since its 2021 reveal, to Kojima Productions' Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which has a 2025 launch window.

We could also see brand-new titles in development for the PS5 and PS5 Pro, but we'll have to wait and see.
