The latest update of the iOS 14 operating system seems to focus only on bug fixes and performance improvements to provide the best performance and enhance the user experience during use. These beta versions can be easily downloaded through the Apple Developer Center for those signed up for the beta program, or through an over-the-air update on devices running the beta software. Early public betas are usually officially released within a few days of a developer beta. Currently, users who have previously signed up for the experience can download iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7 beta 2 on their devices by going to Settings -> General -> Software Update. Earlier, Apple suddenly released beta 1 of iOS 14.7, iPadOS 14.7, tvOS 14.7, watchOS 7.6 and macOS 11.5 on May 19, followed by a few days of public release of iOS 14.6, iPadOS 14.6 versions. , tvOS 14.6, watchOS 7.5, and macOS Big Sur 11.4. The HomePod OS has also received its second developer beta update. However, users are recommended to back up all data on the device before participating in Apple’s trial program. When something goes wrong and you want to revert to the previous version of the operating system (currently iOS 14.6), you will need a backup of your old data. However, users should not install the beta for major devices, because of the possibility of data loss or other problems. According to 9to5mac

Appropriate measures should be taken to limit the risk from ransomware. Illustration. With this form of attack, hackers often use tricks to fake websites, extract data of agencies and organizations and demand ransom. Cybercriminals carry out cyberattacks according to a concise strategy that is applicable to many industries. An analysis of recent experts shows that, in 2020 alone, the amount of damage related to ransomware attacks has reached billions of dollars. More dangerously, this behavior also targets the government’s information technology systems, causing serious impact. To protect critical data from attacks, government IT systems need to ensure external layers of security, while having the added responsibility of maintaining the infrastructure if an intrusion occurs. offense. According to studies, despite the development and expansion of the scope, the attacker’s methods still have similarities. Most hackers will illegally exploit the lowest-level vulnerabilities first, through some common and easy-to-implement method. Therefore, experts recommend to prevent ransomware from this initial step through some of the following methods. 1. Secure remote access Remote access is a familiar method often used by attackers, especially through unpatched vulnerabilities of information systems. Accordingly, hackers are constantly scanning the internet, looking for ways to exploit these vulnerabilities to perform attacks. To combat vulnerability scanning, organizations should prioritize patching vulnerabilities first. Along with that, to protect the system, experts recommend that organizations identify remote access systems to their systems by looking up IP addresses. If an attack is suspected, users should block public access to remote desktop protocol services (iRemoteDesktop – RDP), a secure shell that encrypts transmission data (Secure Socket Shell – SSH) ) and file transfer protocol (File Transfer Protocol – FTP). Agencies and organizations need to ensure that systems for remote access such as firewalls, VPN gateways, and email gateways are regularly patched, perform scanning for security holes, and deploy multi-factor authentication. Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) for accounts that are authorized for remote access. Hackers take advantage of security holes to attack the network. Illustration. 2. Email security Many ransomware incidents can start with an email sent to a user. This attack method is gradually becoming popular for hackers to perform blackmail. Experts say it’s safer to prevent unsolicited emails in the first place. The email security system acts as a “fence” to protect the strange messages from the internet and private mailboxes in the intranet system. To avoid email threats, users need to make sure email messages are scanned through a filtering system, and check attachments and links for advanced threats. In addition, account holders should audit or block password-protected documents as hackers often use this method to bypass email data scanning. 3. Keep data backups safe The third most common method for ransomware is to identify the target, encrypt the data, and then completely delete the backups. In addition to the data on the network and the data being used directly, the hacker will search all backups and encrypt them, disabling the data to increase the possibility of ransom from the victim. The victim then has a high probability of paying to buy back these encrypted data. Therefore, individuals, agencies and organizations should have backup plans to ensure the safety of all data. 4. Implement a 3-2-1 . Backup Strategy Without the right protections, backups, and archiving, concurrent copies on the same network are vulnerable to hackers. To avoid network-wide attacks, experts have come up with a safe backup measure for users’ data systems. For all important files, users should store 3 copies, including 1 primary backup for daily use and 2 backup copies. In it, the files will be saved on 2 different media environments to reduce the possibility of mass attacks. These copies must be in place so that data can be accessed and restored easily and quickly in the event of a failure. At the same time, users should save 1 copy outside the work network or home network, in case of force majeure situations due to natural disasters, unexpected disasters.

According to information from Google, from June 1, all new photos and videos backed up in High Quality will count towards 15GB of free storage, which comes with a Google account or additional storage. Sung bought. Previously, only Original Quality photos counted towards storage. Once you’ve used up 15GB, you’ll have to delete some photos or other Google Drive content to free up space; or buy a Google One plan to increase your Google account’s storage up to 2TB. How will Google Photos users be affected by this new storage policy of Google? What happens to photos and videos backed up before June 1? The good news is that both High Quality and Original Quality backups before June 1, 2021 don’t count towards your Google account’s 15GB space. Memory for photos, videos Original quality has changed? Original quality photos and videos continue to count towards 15GB of free storage. Photos backed up in original quality and then compressed to high quality after June 1 will also count towards your Google account’s storage space. How much space do I have left on my Google account? You can use Google’s storage management tool to see how much free storage you have left, free up memory, delete blurry photos, screenshots. How much does a Google One plan upgrade cost? The price of the Google One plan varies by region. In Vietnam, the cheapest membership package costs from 45,000 VND/month or 450,000 VND/year. For this money, you get 100GB of storage, the option to add a family, additional membership benefits, and access to Google experts. The 200GB package costs 69,000 VND/month or 690,000 VND/year. The 2TB package costs 225,000 VND/month or 2,250,000 VND/year. What service is similar to Google Photos but free? There are other options if you don’t want to spend money to buy a Google Photos membership, such as Amazon Photos, Apple iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Flickr. What offers are available to Pixel users? If you’re using a Google Pixel 5 or earlier, you’ll still get unlimited free photo and video storage. Pixel 3 users can upload unlimited original quality photos to Google Photos through January 31, 2022 before switching to the unlimited high-quality photo option. Pixel 2 users switched to unlimited high-quality photo downloads from January 16, 2021. Early Pixel users continue to get unlimited original quality photo downloads.

Illustration (Source: drupal.org) On June 1, 2021, the Google Photos photo storage service officially stopped storing free photos for users. Users will not be able to store their photos to Google Photos for free, whether storing in high quality or original photos will count towards Google’s default 15GB. All photos stored by users before June 1, 2021 will not apply this change, but only to photos saved after this date. After the specified date, the user will continue to upload images until the entire accompanying 15 GB is full, at which point the user will have to delete the image or purchase additional storage. On the other hand, Google will delete all files in the account when the user is inactive for 2 years. Along with that, Google has also changed the “High quality” image option to “Storage saver”. And of course, this new option will also count towards the user’s free 15GB and the quality of the Storage saver will not be the same as the original image. Pixel phone users will continue to get unlimited free photo and video backups on Google Photos, but for a certain period of time set by Google. At the same time, Google will provide a tool in June 2021 that will allow users to manage backed up photos and videos, the tool will automatically mark dark or blurry images, large videos that users may not be able to see. want to keep, then make a suggestion asking the user if they want to delete it. Google’s new policy will apply to all users Google Photos on all platforms including Android, iOS and desktop. Users are forced to purchase additional Google photo storage. (Screenshots) Thus, after nearly 6 years of “trial”, the Google Photos photo storage service officially charges all users. Users who want more storage will have to buy more for 45,000 VND/month. Launched in 2015, Google Photos is Google’s photo and video sharing and storage service. Google Photos is rated as one of the photo hosting service the world’s best when allowing users to upload images and videos with unlimited storage space (images with reduced quality compared to the original image).

The reaction comes after the New York Times revealed about the special relationship between Apple and China. Accordingly, Apple is accused of being a tool to help the Chinese government “monitor and censor user data”. Telegram “father” believes that Apple is selling outdated hardware devices at too high a price. In addition, the billionaire also criticized Apple’s business model and said that the company is “selling outdated hardware devices at too high a price to customers and locking them in the ecosystem of Apple. the firm”. “Every time I have to use the app on my iPhone, I feel like I have to go back to the Middle Ages. The 60 Hz screen of the iPhone offers an experience that is not as good as the 120 Hz screens on many Android smartphones today,” Durov shared. Not stopping there, the billionaire also added that outdated hardware is not the real problem of iPhones. The worst thing Apple is doing is not allowing users to install apps from sources other than the App Store. At the same time, users cannot use services other than iCloud to back up the device. In the past, the “father” of Telegram and Apple had many conflicts. In 2018, Apple removed the Telegram app from the App Store due to concerns about child pornography on the platform. In July 2020, Telegram accused Apple of monopolizing the European Commission. Most recently, in mid-January, Apple was sued by a non-profit organization called “Coalition for a Safer Web” for not removing Telegram, accusing it of being used by hate groups and extremists. use. According to VTV

Recently, the shocking investigation of New York Times shows that Apple has tacit agreements and about data sharing in China. Taking the opportunity, Durov commented on his Telegram channel that Apple was operating under the direction of China. Telegram was once blocked in Russia because the government believed that terrorists used the app to plan and coordinate terrorist attacks. Photo: Caspiannews. Durov also said that Apple’s business model is based on “selling outdated, expensive hardware to customers in this company’s ecosystem”. He added that the 60 Hz screen of the iPhone cannot compete with the 120 Hz products of Android phones and iOS is an outdated software. According to Durov, the worst part is that iPhone users are seen as the company’s “digital slaves”. Specifically, they are only allowed to install apps from the App Store and back up data on iCloud. “It’s no surprise that Apple’s authoritarian approach is appreciated by China, allowing the country to have full control over the apps and data of all its citizens,” Durov said. Ironically, Apple was sued earlier this year for allowing Telegram to work on the App Store. According to the Coalition for a Safer Web (CSW), the app is used by opposition groups and extremists as a communication channel to spread misinformation and racial divisions in the US and Europe. .

iCloud will ‘transform’ next year. According to the MacRumors , iCloud Documents & Data, and iCloud Drive can all back up and sync data in a number of apps. However, the weak point of iCloud Documents & Data is that there is no management app like iCloud Drive. Data transferred will not be included in the general capacity of iCloud, but users need to enable iCloud Drive to view and manage data. iCloud is one of the important features on iOS devices. This is not only a place to store data and photos safely and securely, but also a good choice to free up space on your Mac or iPhone. Starting in May 2022, Apple is working to minimize confusion and streamline different parts of iCloud Drive. Documents & Data service will stop working and all data in it will be transferred to iCloud Drive automatically. Ultimately, the difference users will notice is that they’ll be able to view and access this data directly in the Files app on iOS or Finder on Mac. However, while the conversion will take place automatically, viewing the data in iCloud Drive will not. Users will have to enable this feature separately. Introduced in 2014, iCloud Drive is part of the iCloud cloud service, allowing Apple device users to share, manage, and sync files between their Mac, iPhone, and iPad, just like in storage like Google. Drive, Microsoft OneDrive …

Appearing before iCloud Drive, iCloud Documents & Data is the feature to store and sync app data between Apple devices. For example, if you create and edit a document using the Pages app on your Mac, the file will be transferred to iCloud Documents & Data for viewing and editing on your iPhone or iPad.
