Europe needs to spend €300 billion on fiber networks and 5G https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/25587/ https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/25587/#respond Sat, 27 Mar 2021 02:02:14 +0000 https://dailyeconomist.net/?p=25587 A report released by the European Telecommunication Network Operators Association (ETNO), which represents Europe’s major telecom operators, said Europe must increase its network investment capacity to achieve gigabit speeds across the region and ensure full digital inclusion. ETNO says the required network investments across Europe bring a €300 billion price tag.

Europe could create 2.4 million new jobs over the next four years through digital transformation, while boosting economic growth and accelerating green transformation. It requires €300 billion in investment in telecom networks with additional steps to encourage demand and digital upselling. The key findings of this new report are ‘Connections and Beyond: How Telcos Can Accelerate a Digital Future for All.’

The BCG analysis shows that by 2022, GDP alone could create €113 billion a year and create 2.4 million new jobs in Europe. As the European Union continues its efforts to revive the economy through recovery plans, building gigabit networks and innovative digital services can help boost productivity and produce a smart way of working.

BCG has discovered that widespread adoption of digital solutions can reduce carbon emissions by up to 15%. Key enablers include 30% emissions reduction thanks to smart cities and 30% emissions cut through digital transformation in the transport sector.

Clear URLs removed from Chrome web store https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/25584/ https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/25584/#respond Sat, 27 Mar 2021 02:01:21 +0000 https://dailyeconomist.net/?p=25584 Google Chrome has removed a popular Chrome extension called ClearURLs from the Chrome Web Store, and its creators have described the company’s reasoning for doing so as “ridiculous.”

According to The Register, the Chrome team emailed the developer of the extension, Kevin Roberts, stating that its extension had been removed from the store due to a breach of condition. According to the Google Chrome team, clear URLs were prohibited for permission and a misrepresentation using keyword spam.

On the Chrome Web Store Extensions page, Kevin Roberts describes how it can prevent unwanted online tracking by removing tracking elements that are often found inside URLs:

“This extension will automatically remove tracking elements from URLs to help protect your privacy when browse through the Internet. Many websites use tracking elements in the URL (e.g.https://example.comutm_source=newsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sale)to mark your online activity. All that tracking code is not necessary for a website to be displayed or work correctly and can therefore be removed—that is exactly what ClearURLs does.”

130 crore Facebook accounts disabled in 3 months https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/25495/ https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/25495/#respond Wed, 24 Mar 2021 02:43:10 +0000 https://dailyeconomist.net/?p=25495 Facebook announced that it had disabled 130 crore fake accounts from its site in the last three months of 2020.

The Facebook authority made the announcement in a blog post on Monday (March 22).

The company also removed more than 120 lakh pieces of content about Covid-19 and vaccines that global health experts flagged as misinformation.

The press release comes as the US House of Representatives’ Energy and Commerce Committee is set to examine tech companies such as Facebook this week and how they combat misinformation online.

Facebook said that “tackling misinformation actually requires addressing several challenges including fake accounts, deceptive behavior, and misleading and harmful content”.

Facebook claimed that over the past three years, it had removed over 100 networks of coordinated inauthentic behavior (CIB) from the platform.

It had built teams and systems using artificial intelligence to detect and enforce against inauthentic behavior tactics behind a lot of clickbait.

The tech giant also employs 80 independent fact-checkers that review content in over 60 languages and to add warning labels to false information.

In total, the company has over 35,000 people working on these challenges._Agencies

An upcoming Android phone will get three 64 MP cameras https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/25229/ https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/25229/#respond Wed, 17 Mar 2021 03:06:03 +0000 https://dailyeconomist.net/?p=25229 ZTE is a name that has always been associated with testing when it comes to phones.

The Chinese company often brings something new and interesting to the table, even if its devices are not particularly high-designed. The ZTE Axon 20, for example, first identified the phone as an under-display selfie camera feature, while the Nubia Z20 device has a fancy screen on the back as well as the front.

Now, it looks like ZTE is teasing an upcoming Android phone set to hold three MP4MP cameras, taking its toll on innovation in the world of mobile photography.

The news came after ZTE’s mobile president Ni Fei posted on Weibo on a Chinese social media site that the future Exxon flagship device would deliver a “3×64 million, high-powered full-length” lens, a combination of a flagship, ultra-wide and proposed telephoto camera with each lens is set to boast of 64 MP resolution.

The best note-taking app for iPad Pro in 2021 https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/24893/ https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/24893/#respond Sat, 06 Mar 2021 03:07:28 +0000 https://dailyeconomist.net/?p=24893 The best note-taking apps for the iPad Pro make it easy and convenient to create and manage documents.

Although Apple provides its own Notes app with the iPadS, it is only intended to provide a general and basic functionality.

Fortunately, other Notepad apps have been created specifically for iPad Pro use, which further develops and improves this functionality – and today there are some of the best note-taking apps for iPad devices around.

This is not least because the iPad Pro has long been promoted as an effective business tool, so third-party software can expand its use and application for specific business purposes, which can coincidentally provide value and purpose for general customers.

Google is making big under-the-hood in changes to Gmail https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/24866/ https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/24866/#respond Fri, 05 Mar 2021 02:22:03 +0000 https://dailyeconomist.net/?p=24866 Despite the success and growing acceptance of workplace chat applications, most businesses rely on email to communicate internally and with customers. However, not every Gmail user wants to use Google’s email client because many prefer to use Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail instead.

For this reason, the search giant has enabled Google Workspace administrators to enable Gmail IMAP and Gmail POP separately and enable access via IMAP on an ad-based basis on the admin console.

The difference between both IMAP and POP incoming email protocols is that an email with POP is downloaded from a mail server to a device and then deleted from the server where IMAP stores email messages permanently on a server so that they can be synchronized.

New Zealand eyes Australia-style media deals with tech firms https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/24834/ https://dailyeconomist.net/sci-tech/news/24834/#respond Wed, 03 Mar 2021 10:43:05 +0000 https://dailyeconomist.net/?p=24834 New Zealand called on Google and Facebook Wednesday to strike deals with Kiwi media similar to those reached in Australia, which require the tech giants to pay for using news.

Broadcast Minister Kris Faafoi said he was considering rules implementing the same type of arrangements for New Zealand’s struggling media sector but hoped the deals could be reached through negotiation.

“Last week I met with both Google and Facebook,” he told a parliamentary committee.

“I’m confident that commercial discussions taking place between traditional media and digital platforms will also begin here in New Zealand and I encourage that.”

Australia last week passed legislation requiring Big Tech to pay for news generated by local media companies, which have long complained that digital giants are sucking up their advertising revenue while also using their content.

Facebook and Google did succeed in having some provisions of the new law watered down, meaning the deals are more likely to arise from negotiations than being imposed by regulators.

It followed a bitter row that included Facebook attempting to flex its muscles by briefly blacking out Australian news from the platform.

Faafoi said the progress of talks in New Zealand would determine how the government framed its regulations on the issue.

“They will be heavily influenced by the nature of the actions and discussions between the platforms and media companies,” he said.

He said New Zealand media were facing a financial crisis at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic meant their work was increasingly important.

“The media’s role through the pandemic was key to New Zealand’s successful response,” he said.

“As minister, I’m committed to supporting the sector… and to deliver the change required to make it stronger and sustainable in the future.”
