We’ll Be Live-Blogging The Twin Peaks Premiere

It’s been 26 years since Mark Frost and David Lynch’s surreal serial drama Twin Peaks last had a new episode on television. That’s so long ago that MTV was still playing music videos from time to time. We’d only had one President Bush, and anything you wanted to know about a TV series you’d have to get from reading magazines and newspapers. How the world has changed — but at the same time, to their credit, Lynch and his crew have done a great job of keeping what’s known about the new limited series to a minimum, so we’ll once more have some surprises to go through together.

We’ll be live-tweeting throughout the episode, so join us for conversations if you’re watching along (we’ll be picking up with the 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST broadcast slot), chime in. If you you’re not going to be watching it until later, then hold off and come back then. After the next image, we’ll have the live feed, so you’ve been warned.

Yahoo Hack: Ripple Effects Could Extend Well Beyond

Yahoo Hack: Ripple Effects Could Extend Well Beyond

As investors and investigators weigh the damage of Yahoo’s massive breach to the internet icon, information security experts worry that the record-breaking haul of password data could be used to open locks up and down the web.

While it’s unknown to what extent the stolen data has been or will be circulating, giant breaches can send ripples of insecurity across the internet.

“Data breaches on the scale of Yahoo are the security equivalent of ecological disasters,” said Matt Blaze, a security researcher who directs the Distributed Systems Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, in a message posted to Twitter.

A big worry is a cybercriminal technique known as “credential stuffing,” which works by throwing leaked username and password combinations at a series of websites in an effort to break in, a bit like a thief finding a ring of keys in an apartment lobby and trying them, one after the other, in every door in the building. Software makes the trial-and-error process practically instantaneous.

Credential stuffing typically succeeds between 0.1 percent and 2 percent of the time, according to Shuman Ghosemajumder, the chief technology officer of Mountain View, California-based Shape Security. That means cybercriminals wielding 500 million passwords could conceivably hijack tens of thousands of other accounts.

“It becomes a numbers game for them,” Ghosemajumder said in a telephone interview.

So will the big Yahoo breach mean an explosion of smaller breaches elsewhere, like the aftershocks that follow a big quake?

Ghosemajumder doesn’t think so. He said he didn’t see a surge in new breaches so much as a steady increase in attempts as cybercriminals replenish their stock of freshly hacked passwords. It’s conceivable as well that Yahoo passwords have already been used to hack other services; the company said the theft occurred in late 2014, meaning that the data has been compromised for as long as two years.

“It is like an ecological disaster,” Ghosemajumder said in a telephone interview. “But pick the right disaster. It’s more like global warming than it is an earthquake. … It builds up gradually.”

The first hint that something was wrong at Yahoo came when Motherboard journalist Joseph Cox started receiving supposed samples of credentials hacked from the company in early July. Several weeks later, a cybercriminal using the handle “Peace” came forward with 5,000 samples – and the startling claim to be selling 200 million more.

On August 1 Cox published a story on the sale, but the journalist said he never established with any certainty where Peace’s credentials came from. He noted that Yahoo said most of its passwords were secured with one encryption protocol, while Peace’s sample used a second. Either Peace drew his sample from a minority of Yahoo data or he was dealing with a different set of data altogether.

“With the information available at the moment, it’s more likely to be the latter,” Cox said in an email Tuesday.

The Associated Press has been unable to locate Peace. The darknet market where the seller has been active in the past has been inaccessible for days, purportedly due to cyberattacks.

At the moment it’s not known who holds the passwords or whether a state-sponsored actor, which Yahoo has blamed for the breach, would ever have an interest in passing its data to people like Peace .

Meanwhile, Yahoo users who recycle their passwords across different sites may be at risk. And while an internet-wide password reset is one option, Yahoo’s announcement that some security questions were compromised too means that the risks associated with the breach are likely to linger.

A password can be changed, after all, but how do you reset your mother’s maiden name?

Replacement Windows and Doors Add Curb Appeal As Well As Value

by admin
written by admin

Do you want to add curb appeal as well as value to your home by making some easy and low-cost adjustments? You can do so by adding new exterior doors, shutters, and windows. These projects will only take a short time to complete but will render a lasting investment. They are also projects that any homeowner should be able to do himself. Your home can be more energy-efficient and valuable by making these simple updates to the exterior doors and windows.

A great way to add value to your home as well as curb appeal is to replace your existing exterior doors. Some of the most popular doors that homeowners select are exterior wood entry doors, exterior fiberglass entry doors, or exterior French doors. If you are a traditional wood homeowner, a great option for your home is a wood entry door. Fiberglass doors are much like wood doors but fiberglass is much more durable than wood. Fiberglass has some benefits such as they don’t fade, rust, or warp. However, if you are looking for a door that allows you to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors from the comfort of your home, you may want to consider the exterior French door that is able to do so through its openness.

New exterior window shutters are another great way to add value to your home. Composite, fiberglass, vinyl, and wood are a few of the types of outdoor shutters you will find. If you want a quality shutter with no maintenance and you are not opposed to paying more, composite shutters may be the shutter for you. Fiberglass shutters are a great option for homeowners who reside in a region that frequently suffer from inclement weather because they can endure such conditions. If you are a homeowner who is on a budget, vinyl shutters are a low-cost option that require minimum maintenance. However, wood shutters may be the option for you if you are more of a traditionalist when it comes to your home’s architecture. Nonetheless, vinyl exterior shutters are still the most popular.

As you start your search for the perfect replacement windows keep in mind your home’s architectural design and what type of weather conditions the windows will need to withstand. You will have several options when it comes to replacement windows two of which are wood and vinyl. Wood windows are enticing to many homeowners. Although they are natural insulators, they do require maintenance. Vinyl windows have several advantages over wooden windows; they are energy efficient, increase your home’s value, and require little maintenance. If you are looking to save money, you may want to consider installing the windows yourself over hiring someone.

If you already own windows that are energy efficient, you should take a look at the window screens. If you notice they have rips or other damage, why not replace them. You can search online to find a local dealer. After you locate your local dealer, take your window screen frame or the measurements of the frame and they can help you with purchasing a new one.

MWC 2018: Samsung Galaxy S9 is not fixing what already works well, but packs better cameras

Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ will start rolling out in stores in some countries from 16 March onwards, with prices very similar to the launch prices of the S8 and the S8+.

Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ will start rolling out in stores in some countries from 16 March onwards, with prices very similar to the launch prices of the S8 and the S8+.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ were undoubtedly the Android flagship torchbearers of 2017, and why change something that works well? Samsung clearly doesn’t want to tinker with a winning formula, and that is perhaps why this year’s Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ take a lot of inspiration from the predecessors. The phones will start rolling out in stores in some countries from 16 March onwards, with prices very similar to the launch prices of the S8 and the S8+.

The S9 and S9+ have the same bezel-less designs with the tall 18.5:9 aspect ratio screens. The 5.8-inch screen in the S9 and the 6.2-inch screen in the S9+ are the same Super AMOLED panels as before, but Samsung claims to have boosted the brightness levels this time around. While the design remains the same, the new phones are slightly different in terms of the dimensions, which means if you are upgrading, the same cases and covers may not work.

While some markets will get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with 4GB or 6GB RAM, other markets such as India will get Samsung’s latest Exynos processors.

The big change this time around is the camera system in the S9 and the S9+. The S9 has a single camera while the S9+ has a dual camera. The S9 is the first flagship phone from Samsung that features a mechanically adjustable aperture which can switch between f/1.5 for low light situations and f/2.4 for better lit environments. Till now, the LG V30 had the widest aperture in a smartphone thus far, with its glass lens capable of f/1.6 aperture. This, Samsung claims, lets in 28% more light than the S8’s f/1.7 aperture. The S9’s 12-megapixel camera sensor also has a new dual pixel autofocus technology called Super Speed Dual Pixel, which is faster and locks focus more reliably, reduces noise and distortions and can record up to 960 frames per second of slow motion video—something that is straight out of Sony’s Xperia camera handbook.

Samsung has a slightly different take on the animated emoji feature, also seen in the Apple iPhone X. Samsung calls this AR Emoji, and instead of a lion or a monkey, this maps over 100 points of your face using the front camera and lets you animate your own face. You can then customize this with different hairstyles and more.

Samsung has upgraded the Bixby virtual assistant as well, with a new augmented reality vision section. There is a live translate feature that uses Google’s Translate service, while the service now links up better with some of the camera features too.

It is quite a guarantee that the S9 and the S9+ will again be the Android flagship phones that will set the pace this year, and are a tough act to follow for any competition.

Microsoft Announces SteamVR Support for Mixed Reality Headsets; Halo Set for Debut as Well

Microsoft Announces SteamVR Support for Mixed Reality Headsets; Halo Set for Debut as Well

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The mixed reality headsets will be made available later this year
  • Microsoft announced its partnership for headsets last year
  • The company says its headsets will be affordable as well as portable

Last year, Microsoft announced last year that it partnered with leading device makers including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and 3Glasses on a wide range of headsets that pair with Windows Mixed Reality-ready PCs. The company has now made a huge announcement as it says that SteamVR will be supported by the mixed reality headsets after they are made available later this year. Further, the company says that it has been working with 343 Industries to bring Halo to mixed reality experiences.

The Redmond-based company will be sharing more details about the upcoming mixed reality headsets at the IFA event in Berlin but has announced that Steam content will also be supported by the affordable headsets by the company. “Virtual reality enthusiasts know that Steam is a great place to enjoy cutting edge immersive experiences. We can’t wait to bring their content to you.” Microsoft’s Alex Kipman said in a blog post.

While the company has not announced specific details about the collaboration, it has indeed revealed that it is working with 343 Industries to produce content for the mixed reality platform. “We are working with 343 Industries to bring future Halo experiences into mixed reality,” Kipman said. If you have ever played any entry from the franchise, you have ample reasons to be excited about this partnership. Windows Central’s Daniel Rubino also reports Minecraft VR is in the offing.

In order to differentiate the mixed reality headsets from other products in the market, Microsoft says that its offerings will be more affordable as well as easier to set up. Talking about affordability, the headset and motion controller bundles will start from $399 (roughly Rs. 25,500) and will be compatible with existing and new PC models starting at $499 (roughly Rs. 31,900).

While there are headsets that require external sensors in order to work, the mixed-reality headsets from Microsoft and its partners will come with built-in sensors that track your position and allow you to simply plug in and play, the Kipman said in his post. This week, Dell also revealed the pricing of its Visor mixed-reality headset and said that the wearable will be made available from October at a price of $349.99 (roughly Rs. 22,400).
