Mozilla last week updated the Firefox user agreement — something that normally does not provoke strong reactions. This time, however, the changes led to a wave of criticism, because some of the wording can be interpreted as giving Mozilla free rein to do whatever it wants with users’ data.

At Mobile World Congress, Google confirmed that a long-awaited Gemini AI feature it first teased nearly a year ago is ready for launch. The company’s conversational Gemini Live will soon be able to view live video and screen sharing, a feature Google previously demoed as Project Astra.

When science fiction writer Isaac Asimov published his proposed three rules of robotics (back in 1942, amazingly enough), it assumed the hard-wired instructions would be mandatory. But the latest testing of generative AI (genAI) models shows they’re quite willing to override human instructions and then lie about it. Until now, the main problem with genAI tools were…

Barrett also dismissed calls from four former Intel board members who suggested that…
Enterprise mobility today is basically synonymous with unified endpoint management (UEM) software, which unifies and centralizes the management of phones, tablets, PCs, and other devices. UEM grew out of earlier mobile management tools in the late teens and came to prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic when office workers worldwide shifted to remote work. Now a…
Unified endpoint management (UEM) is a strategic IT approach that consolidates how enterprises secure and manage an array of deployed devices including phones, tablets, PCs, and even IoT devices. As hybrid work models have become the norm, “mobility management” has come to mean management of not just mobile devices, but all devices used by mobile…
Windows sucks. I feel that this is not an awfully controversial statement in this day and age at all. It’s just that every other desktop operating system sucks at least a tiny bit more than Windows does. Yet, Windows 11’s latest 24H2 update is particularly problematic on Intel CPUs.
