Maybe we shouldn't use Zoom after all
Now that we’re all stuck at home thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, video calls have gone from a novelty to a necessity. Zoom, the popular videoconferencing service, seems to be doing better than most and has quickly become one of, if not the most, popular option going. But should it be? Zoom’s recent popularity has also shone a spotlight on the company’s security protections and privacy promises
It was a really bad month for the internet
If these past few weeks felt like the sky was falling, you weren’t alone. In the past month there were several major internet outages affecting millions of users across the world. Sites buckled, services broke, images wouldn’t load, direct messages ground to a halt and calendars and email were unavailable for hours at a time. It’s not believed any single event tied the outages together, more so ju
Google will start retiring Hangouts for G Suite users in October | TechCrunch
Google will start retiring Hangouts for G Suite users in October Google’s strategy around its consumer messaging services remains baffling, especially since it killed off Allo (yet kept Duo on life support). Today, the company clarified the timeline of the transition from classic Hangouts to Chat and Meet for its paying G Suite customers. For them, the Hangouts retirement party will start in Octob
Sony’s PlayStation Classic uses an open-source emulator to play its games – TechCrunch
Sony’s PlayStation Classic uses an open-source emulator to play its games The worm has turned, it seems. Emulators, which let people run old console games on their computers, were once the scourge of the gaming industry. Now Sony is using one of the very pieces of software the industry decried as the basis for its PlayStation Classic retro console. In the licenses list for the console can be found

Oracle wins appeal against Google in copyright case | TechCrunch
If you thought the Oracle v. Google saga was over at last, we have some bad news for you. On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit breathed new life into the case, ruling that Google violated copyright law when it used Oracle’s Java APIs to create the Android mobile operating system. You can read the full ruling here. The case revolves around a central question: Is a programmi
PuTTY Begone! Microsoft will ship an OpenSSH client | TechCrunch
Media & Entertainment PuTTY Begone! Microsoft will ship an OpenSSH client The first thing I download on a new Windows machine – after Chrome, of course – is PuTTY. This tried-and-true OpenSSH client has served millions of devs quite well for the past twenty years and I’m sure it will still remain a favorite but Microsoft has added its own ssh client to Windows, a move that points to more openness
Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer may have just tweeted his password | TechCrunch
In a bold strategic shift, White House Press Secretary Sean “Alternative Facts” Spicer appears to have tweeted something true from his account this morning. Unfortunately for him, it might have been his password. This morning, Twitter noticed that Spicer tweeted and quickly deleted a string of nonsense that looks considerably more like a password than it does a pocket tweet. A few screenshots floa
Large DDoS attacks cause outages at Twitter, Spotify, and other sites | TechCrunch
Several waves of major cyberattacks against an internet directory service knocked dozens of popular websites offline today, with outages continuing into the afternoon. Twitter, SoundCloud, Spotify, Shopify, and other websites have been inaccessible to many users throughout the day.

Facebook Shutters Its Parse Developer Platform | TechCrunch
Here’s a surprise: Facebook is closing its Parse developer platform. After acquiring the service, which at the time mostly focused on mobile developers, for a reported $85 million in 2013, Facebook turned Parse into one of its key developer services. Parse will still operate until January 28, 2017, so developers have time to move their products over to other platforms. That will still be quite a h
HTC Is Now Essentially Worthless (And Insecure) | TechCrunch
Internet hyperbole (and financial analysis) have rendered HTC, a once high-flying mobile brand, essentially valueless. In short, the company is trading below cash on hand. So if you bought all HTC stock, the company would have to pay you, the buyer, to take it over. This means the company’s factories, stock and brand are worth nothing, at least on Wall Street. Furthermore, the researchers have dis
