Apple, you've AirDrop'd the ball: Academics detail ways to leak contact info of nearby iThings for spear-phishing Apple's AirDrop has a couple of potentially annoying privacy weaknesses that Cupertino is so far refusing to address even though a solution has been offered. A bug-hunting team at Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany reverse engineered AirDrop – iOS and macOS's ad-hoc over-the-a
Google reveals how much personal data' collected in Chrome, Google app. 'No wonder they wanted to hide it' Google's Apple-mandated privacy labels for its Chrome and Search apps on iOS have drawn criticism from tiny search rival DuckDuckGo, which tweeted "no wonder they wanted to hide it." Apple now requires all App Store developers to label their apps to inform users of what data they collect. Thi
Google admits Kubernetes container tech is so complex, it's had to roll out an Autopilot feature to do it all for you Google has recognised that users struggle to configure Kubernetes correctly and introduced a new Autopilot service in an attempt to simplify deployment and management. Two things everyone knows about Kubernetes are: first, that it has won in the critically important container orche
No documentation yet, but big ambitions for UI components tailored for AWS services Amazon Web Services has released AWS UI, which the cloud services biz describes as "the first step in a larger process of creating a new open source design system." The context for this is the open-sourcing of the user interface code for the .NET Porting Assistant, a tool to scan Windows-only .NET Framework applica
Cloud giant has a lust for Rust so needs top minds and wants them to advance the language Amazon Web Services has quietly revealed that it has hired Rust compiler co-lead Felix Klock. A Tuesday post from the AWS open source team expressing its ardour for Rust outlined several ways the cloud colossus has embraced the language. AWS's Matt Assay wrote that the company "increasingly builds critical in
Come on, Amazon: If you're going to copy open-source code for a new product, at least credit the creator On Thursday, Amazon Web Services launched CloudWatch Synthetics Recorder, a Chrome browser extension for recording browser interactions that it copied from the Headless Recorder project created by developer Tim Nolet. It broke no law in doing so – the software is published under the permissive
Amazon Web Services has made its home-brewed Arm-powered Graviton2 processors the default for its ElastiCache service. ElastiCache is AWS’s in-memory-data-store-as-a-service and lets users create Redis or memcached implementations in the Amazonian cloud. AWS got all excited about ElastiCache on Graviton2 back in December 2019, when it said it had benchmarked Memcached-on-Arm and found 43 percent b
Microsoft has submitted a series of patches to the Linux kernel with its aim being "to create a complete virtualization stack with Linux and Microsoft Hypervisor." The patches are designated "RFC" (Request for comments) and are a minimal implementation presented for discussion. The key change is that with the patched kernel, Linux will run as the Hyper-V root partition. In the Hyper-V architecture
The Amiga Fast File System (AFFS) is making a minor comeback in the new version of the Linux kernel. As noted by chief penguin Linus Torvalds in his weekly state-of-the-kernel report, a change to AFFS popped up among what he described as a collection of “the usual suspects” in new submissions to the kernel over the last week. The Amiga was ahead of its time, but is now largely a curiosity. However
Microsoft's 'open source wonk' Sarah Novotny wants to see easier ways for people to get involved Interview Linux kernel development – which is driven by plain-text email discussion – needs better or alternative collaborative tooling "to bring in new contributors and maintain and sustain Linux in the future," says Sarah Novotny, Microsoft's representative on the Linux Foundation board.

Linux kernel maintainers tear Paragon a new one after firm submits read-write NTFS driver in 27,000 lines of code Paragon Software is trying to get its NTFS driver into the Linux kernel, but has submitted it as a single dump of 27,000 lines of code, sparking complaints that it is too large to review. NTFS is the default file system for Windows XP and later. Microsoft is beginning to replace it wit
IBM's Global Technology Services has posted a job ad calling for candidates with a “minimum 12+ years’ experience in Kubernetes administration and management”. Which is a little odd because the first GitHub commit for the project was made on June 7, 2014. And the feature freeze for version 1.0 was announced on May 22, 2015. Sharp-minded Reg readers will have recognised that – absent time travel –
About three /8’s worth is a decent chunk of the total pool and locals unready to go all-in on IPv6 are hungry APNIC, the regional internet address registry for India, China, and 54 other Asia-Pacific nations, has found about fifty million unused IPv4 addresses under the couch. The organisation recently shared an analysis of a 2018 survey of its stakeholders and members, which concluded reclamation
Will code move on to a language such as Rust? 'I'm convinced it's going to happen' says kernel colonel Linux creator Linus Torvalds spoke about the challenge of finding future maintainers for the open-source kernel, at the Open Source Summit and Embedded Linux conference under way this week online. Torvalds does not do keynote talks these days, but he was willing to sit down with VMware's chief op
Microsoft blocks Trend Micro code at center of driver 'cheatware' storm from Windows 10, rootkit detector product pulled from site Updated Microsoft has blocked a Trend Micro driver from running on Windows 10 – and Trend has withdrawn downloads of its rootkit detector that uses the driver – after the code appeared to game Redmond's QA tests. Late last week, Trend removed downloads of its Rootkit B
‘My 'allmodconfig' test builds are now three times faster than they used to be’ says Linux overlord Linux overseer Linus Torvalds has binned Intel on his personal PC and hinted that he hopes to one day run an ARM-powered desktop.

Updated Trend Micro is on the defensive after it was accused of engineering its software to cheat Microsoft's QA testing, branding the allegation "misleading." Bill Demirkapi, an 18-year-old computer security student at the Rochester Institute of Technology in the US, told The Register on Tuesday he was researching methods for detecting rootkits when he came across Trend's Rootkit Buster for Windo
Huge surge in applications for financial assistance show Governor Phil Murphy the ugly side of technical debt The governor of New Jersey has asked COBOL-capable coders to volunteer their skills as the US state’s mainframe computers have struggled to cope with a surge of requests for benefits to help citizens through the coronavirus crisis. COBOL - common business-oriented language - was introduced
What will be the fate of an open-source project relied upon by so many? In November 2019, Denis Pushkarev, maintainer of the popular core-js library, lost an appeal to overturn an 18-month prison sentence imposed for driving his motorcycle into two pedestrians, killing one of them. As a result, he's expected to be unavailable to update core-js, a situation that has project contributors and other d
Watching you, with a Vue to a Kill: Wikimedia developers dismiss React for JavaScript makeover despite complaints After several months of debate, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has decided to modernize the front-end interface used by Wikipedia and other projects by adopting the Vue.js JavaScript framework, a choice that remains controversial.

Safari will, later this year, no longer accept new HTTPS certificates that expire more than 13 months from their creation date. That means websites using long-life SSL/TLS certs issued after the cut-off point will throw up privacy errors in Apple's browser. The policy was unveiled by the iGiant at a Certification Authority Browser Forum (CA/Browser) meeting on Wednesday. Specifically, according to
Ignite Microsoft has hinted that cross-platform development framework React Native is a key solution to the problem of writing applications that span both Windows and mobile. Cross-platform development is critical for Microsoft since both first-party and third-party apps accessing Office 365 or Azure services need to run on iOS and Android as well as on Windows. Underlining the point, the company
Distributed assault hampering connectivity for websites, apps, customers are warned Updated Parts of Amazon Web Services were effectively shoved off the internet today – at times breaking some customers' websites – after the cloud giant came under attack.

Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) is waxing lyrical about the risks inherent in C and C++ coding, arguing it may be time to dump "unsafe legacy languages" and shift to more modern, safer ones. The Redmond-based biz has long been a C++ shop when it comes to the programming that matters most to the company – the Windows operating system and the core Office applications, for example. Gavin Th
