“We have this amazing new technology in the Hololens that can three-dimensionally map a room and also identify common objects. How do we best show this incredible feature to consumers?”
“Half-assed platformer with terribly redesigned 90s character that in no way displays how this technology can be used in innovative ways. It will probably piss off fanboys and make the video go viral.”
“SOLD”
This is so important
friendly reminder that the age of technology is coming to an end and a new age of blood magic and dark rituals will take its place
Any alien civilization capable of traveling to Earth would almost definitely have the technology to make sure we never see them.
Astronauts are about to eat food grown in space. Technology has looped far enough around to make farming an astonishing achievement yet again.
when will Ted himself.. finally show up to the Talk ?
The final boss
You guys know TEDtalks stands for technology, entertainment and design talks right?
I will not let Ted hide behind these lies any longer
I haven’t seen a post about this yet on tumblr, so here’s the deal. The other day, a new piece of malware started finding its way onto computers. It’s a “worm”, which means you don’t need to download any software or click any links to get infected. You only need to be connected to the Internet to be infected. This worm has already destroyed hospital infrastructure and countless computers.
WannaDecryptor (the name of the worm) has rendered the NHS of England inoperable. It is ransomware, which means that it locks your ENTIRE computer’s data behind a paywall. The ransomware is asking for approx. $300 USD for your data back. Don’t trust this, even if you have the money to pay! There is no guarantee your data will be safe. Your data is pretty much lost forever if you manage to contract this nasty bit of code.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: There’s about a 30% chance that a completely up-to-date (as of the writing of this post) antivirus will be able to catch this worm and stop it before it happens. That’s less than half and just over a quarter. It’s definitely possible that an antivirus program that’s set to scan constantly and regularly and is 100% up-to-date on its definitions will stop the worm, but you shouldn’t take any chances. Update your Windows!
Reblog this post, send informational links, and absolutely tell every tech-illiterate person to take preventative measures! Old people are HIGHLY susceptible to pretty much any computer security risk. This ransomware could make them think that their computer would be safe if they just paid the money. Inform them that it might not be! Keep them on their toes! Don’t let your loved ones fall prey to this. I, personally, made sure my parents’ laptops were secure.
More information can be found by simply Googling the name “wannacry”. More information on the worm is posted every so often on various news sites. Please keep yourself and your loved ones informed! Stay safe on the Internet!
Relevant information that would need citing already has a link on it, probably. If it doesn’t just Google it.
It mostly bounces around local networks in businesses and the like looking for targets on SMB 445 ports. It probably could infect random computers that are connected through this port though, even if they’re on a different network.
If you have the patch you’re basically immune, but avoid suspicious links and emails and the usual traps.
It does not work AT ALL on Mac or Linux. This particular malware program only infects windows operating systems. It creates an encrypted zip folder.
Look out for taskse.exe and taskdl.exe in your task manager under processes.
According to experts, his is the work of an unsophisticated group. Some say it comes from a group with connections to the North Korean government, which is even less impressive.
There are some copycats out there, so do be careful, they’re basically the same thing.
And considering the sheer scale of this thing, multiple law enforcement agency are gonna be gunning for the people behind this. Once they get them and their servers, they should have the decryption key and they will give those out for free.
Calm down.
Whether you’re indie or AAA, for consoles or computer, I want to follow you and get to know you !
