The twin routers, AC4300 Tri-Band MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router and AC1300 Gigabit Wi-Fi Extender when placed cleverly in your home can maximize signal strength and address connectivity issues in a room far away from your router. D-Link says setup is a breeze, mainly because the two devices were made to communicate with one another out of the box. You will also get tri-band Wi-Fi via a single 2.4GHz band and dual 5GHz bands, and multi-user MIMO technology that assigns wireless devices to their own antennae to help ensure that simultaneous data transmissions don’t get bogged down across the network and provide maximize signal strength....

LeakedSource revealed that the unknown hackers stole 85.2 million records consisting of usernames, email addresses, and some hashed passwords from Dailymotion. LeakedSource, who provides a searchable database of user details leaked in various hacks, has added the DailyMotion stolen data to its search index. Since opening, LeakedSource has added nearly 3 billion records to its database. The hack was possibly carried out on October 20, which means that the stolen data has been in circulation for a while, says LeakedSource....

The four-year project, Building Resources Adaptive Software Systems (BRASS), for which DARPA is currently inviting research proposals, will look at the performing arithmetic and analytical requirements needed for software systems along with the data accompanying it in order to remain operational for a century or longer. The program is designed to make progress in the development of the design and implementation of long-lived software systems that have the ability to dynamically adapt to changes in the resources they depend upon, and the environments in which they operate as stated by the US Department of Defense technology research agency....

The latest report which has been published on Monday indicates that though Twitter has received similar request from countries across the world, the requests received from Turkey, Russia and Germany has been up by almost 40 percent against a comparison between the latest consecutive reports.

The salary factor The survey intended to aggregate responses from professional developers, therefore, replies from students and people and former developers were ignored. The final group of respondents to the survey consisted of a little under 30,000 people of which, 40.7% said that they use tabs and 41.8% have replied saying they use spaces. The remaining have no strict preferences or use both tabs and spaces. The most interesting aspect of the survey however, came forward when the salaries of these people were analyzed....

Recently, researchers Yaniv Erlich and Dina Zielinski of the Data Science Institute at Columbia University and the New York Genome Center (NYGC) unveiled a new technique that allows DNA to store more data than ever before. In nature, DNA works by storing information about different forms of life and its characteristics using four base nucleotides: A, G, C and T. DNA has been studied for a while as a possible solution for storing human-generated data....

Until a few decades, artificial intelligence may have seemed like something straight from a science fiction novel. But this is a field that has been explored by industrial and military developers for many years, with researchers producing ever more sophisticated examples of unmanned equipment that actually make a lot of the hardware in those space movies look clunky. So what are some of the latest developments in this area? Commercial drones The use of drones for non-military purposes continues to expand, given their enormous potential to carry out hazardous tasks in a diverse range of industries....

Snowden along with his co-author and fellow hacker Huang presented their findings on smartphone “hardware introspection” in a talk at MIT Media Lab’s Forbidden Research yesterday. “This work aims to give journalists the tools to know when their smart phones are tracking or disclosing their location when the devices are supposed to be in airplane mode,” the pair wrote in their technical paper. They contend that you cannot depend on a smartphone’s user interface to tell you the truth about that state of its radios....

A recently released hacking tool dubbed as KeeFarce silently decodes all usernames, passwords, and notes stored by the KeePass password manager and writes them to a file. While KeeFarce targets KeePass, there is little that can stop the developers from creating similar apps that target almost every other password manager available today. Hackers and professional penetration testers can run it on computers that they have already taken control of. They can can execute the KeeFarce tool on a computer where a logged in user has unlocked the KeePass database....

The statement was made by Haahr at SMX West, a search marketing conference that was scheduled in San Jose, California between March 1 and 3. — Jonah Stein (@Jonahstein) March 3, 2016 Haahr was responding to queries about Google’s search products in general during the event’s keynote, when someone questioned him about the company’s latest addition, the RankBrain AI. The engineer’s answer, as Barry Schwartz, SERoundtable reporter, and many other conference attendants confirmed on Twitter, was that many of Google’s own engineers don’t quite fully understand how the new RankBrain algorithm works....

Kaminsky says a flaw found in the Gnu C standard library, aka “glibc,” can trick browsers into looking up shady domain names. Servers could then reply with overly-long DNS names, causing a buffer overflow in the victim’s software. That would in turn let hackers execute code remotely and possibly take over a machine. The bug is new and has been around since May 2008. Kaminsky said “the buggy code has been around for quite some time, so it’s really worked its way across the globe....

Ex-Google engineer Kent Overstreet is developing a new file system for Linux called Bcache File System (Bcachefs). Right now he is looking for other like minded Linux developers to help him test it and suggest further modifications required. With so many working file systems already available, Linux users may ask why create a new file system? On his blog, Overstreet explains the need for Bcache, Overstreet explained that the main goal of Bcachefs is to match the speed of the traditional Linux file systems with the advanced scalability and reliability of newer file systems such as Btrfs and XFS....
