Alex Walker-Todd / Android AuthorityHuman beings love expressing themselves, and for most of us, a big component of that is how we look. Our clothes may change day to day, and maybe hairstyle by the season, but a lot of us are keeping the same phones for longer and longer, thanks to improved support policies. Considering how many times a day we’re pulling our phones out, compounded over a timeline of years, it starts feeling all the more important to go with a phone that has a look that really suits us.Now, you’ve got plenty of options when it comes…

Telecom companies aren’t required to notify customers about every breach. A Federal Communications Commission order in December 2023 adopted a “harm-based notification trigger” in which “notification of a breach to consumers is not required in cases where a carrier can reasonably determine that no harm to customers is reasonably likely to occur as a result of the breach, or where the breach solely involves encrypted data and the carrier has definitive evidence that the encryption key was not also accessed, used, or disclosed.” The FCC said that harm requiring notifications can include, but is not limited to, “financial harm, physical…

Thousands of sites running WordPress remain unpatched against a critical security flaw in a widely used plugin that was being actively exploited in attacks that allow for unauthenticated execution of malicious code, security researchers said. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-11972, is found in Hunk Companion, a plugin that runs on 10,000 sites that use the WordPress content management system. The vulnerability, which carries a severity rating of 9.8 out of a possible 10, was patched earlier this week. At the time this post went live on Ars, figures provided on the Hunk Companion page indicated that less than 12 percent…

Apple announced four new iPhones a couple of months ago, including the ‘Plus’ model. In this article, we’ll compare that variant vs its predecessor. In other words, we’ll be comparing the Apple iPhone 16 Plus vs Apple iPhone 15 Plus. These two phones are not the most powerful the company has to offer, but they are compelling in their own regard. They’re larger variants of vanilla models, basically. While the two phones do look a lot alike, Apple did change some things from last year’s model to the new one, and it’s definitely worth noting those differences. We’ll first list…

We didn’t have to wait too long for a wider release as the company has just launched the new flagships in global markets.Vivo is bringing the X200 and X200…

Large language models have found great success so far by using their transformer architecture to effectively predict the next words (i.e., language tokens) needed to respond to queries. When it comes to complex reasoning tasks that require abstract logic, though, some researchers have found that interpreting everything through this kind of “language space” can start to cause some problems, even for modern “reasoning” models. Now, researchers are trying to work around these problems by crafting models that can work out potential logical solutions completely in “latent space”—the hidden computational layer just before the transformer generates language. While this approach doesn’t cause a sea…

ByteDance continues its fight to avoid a ban on TikTok in the US. There are just a few weeks left until the deadline set by the April bill expires. The company recently requested an emergency pause in the implementation of the law.
