    West Village BluesO-N finds new life for a historic paper factory, now a colorful residence in New YorkByKatya Borkov February 5, 2025Interiors, International (Naho Kubota)SHAREChanneling a vintage modern feel in a repurposed paper factory, Davis Owen and Irene Chung, cofounders ofON, have thoughtfully tailored the West Village Apartment to their clients distinct style. Large wooden beams punctuate the wall to the left of the entryway and gesture to the buildings history. One beam is marked with the number 54, perhaps demarcating a former loading dock. This hall is lined with storage: floor-to-ceiling closets to the right and a length of cabinets to the left that, among other things, house the familys extensive board game collection. The wall curves to a halt at the living room, indicating how far your street shoes can go.Read more about the adaptive reuse project on aninteriormag.com. Adaptive ReuseNew York

  • How to minimize your digital footprint when you travel
    www.foxnews.com
    Published February 5, 2025 10:00am EST close Kids Online Safety Act receives bipartisan support Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss efforts to pass the Kids Online Safety Act in response to the widespread use of social media among children. Those of us old enough to remember traveling before the age of smartphones and mobile internet know we have it pretty good these days. You can find the best flights using comparison sites, choose among hundreds of hotels on a single booking site, get tickets sent to your phone rather than picking them up in person, check in online, order a ride and youre off.All this, of course, comes with downsides and trade-offs.Most peoples biggest concerns are "getting hacked," which, when you get down to it, really means "being robbed in ways I dont quite understand." But thats one of those risks that, although very real, is unlikely to happen if you take the usual precautions. A couple on vacation (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)The dangers few think about until its too lateIn a time when personal information is said to be worth more than oil, bad actors are often interested in getting their hands on your personal data as much as your money. And a "bad actor" need not be some guy with his hood up, hunched over a laptop in the back of a coffee shop.In 2024, for example, ClassAction.orgreported on suspicions of major cruise lines illegally sharing consumers data with Facebook. Cruise lines RoyalCaribbean.com, CelebrityCruises.com, Princess.com and HollandAmerica.com are suspected of collecting personal information through the sneaky "Meta tracking pixel" and sending it to Facebook without users consent.Booking.com, a site most of us have used at one time or another, has also had its fair share of problems. The website has been battling waves of hacking attacks aimed at defrauding its customers; its faced accusations of not doing enough to protect its customers and has even been fined forfailing to disclose a data breach on time.Data gathered from these kinds of incidents often ends up circulating online, being added to what was already out there before, just waiting for someone or some company to make use of it.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE A woman pulling her luggage while traveling (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)What you can do to protect your personal dataAvoiding cruise lines and booking sites altogether is hardly a practical solution when you need to book a cruise or accommodation. Here are some things you can do to dramatically reduce the risk when booking flights, cruises, vehicles and accommodation.1. Invest in personal data removal services: While no service promises to remove all your data from the internet, having a removal service is great if you want to constantly monitor and automate the process of removing your information from hundreds of sites continuously over a longer period of time.Check out my top picks for data removal services here.2. Use personal security caution: Don't sign in to anything using your social media accounts. Sign in with your email instead and be sure to use an email address you've set aside just for these kinds of situations.3. Do your homework online: Do an online search for the booking website, cruise line or travel agency in question, keeping an eye out for any recent reports of scams or other issues.4. Check company reputation carefully:CheckClassAction.org, theBetter Business Bureau andTrustpilot specifically. This will help you gain comprehensive insights into a company's track record, customer experiences and potential issues.5. Verify communication legitimacy: Whenever you receive a call, email or text message from a booking service, confirm that it's really them by first checking your account directly and then contacting the company through official, publicly listed channels (not social media).More ways to protect yourself online when traveling: Here's how to stay safeHere are some of the "usual precautions" that can protect you from "getting hacked" while traveling.1. Update all your apps and operating systems before heading off: All those security patches are that much more important while you're traveling. You'll want to download and install all pending updates at least 24-48 hours before your departure, ensuring you have the latest security protections and giving yourself time to troubleshoot any potential update-related issues that might arise.2. Lock everything down: Use strong, unique passwords and a reliablepassword manager to keep track of them.3. Turn on two-factor authentication where available: Prioritize using authenticator apps over SMS-based codes. This provides a more secure second layer of verification, as authenticator apps are less vulnerable to SIM swapping attacks and interception compared to text message-based authentication. Choosereputable authenticator apps, which generate time-based one-time passwords that change frequently and are tied directly to your device.4. Keep location services turned off: NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi should also be turned off while youre not using them. Thatll make your battery last longer as a side benefit.5. Go dark: Dont publicly share news of your trip until youre back. Avoid posting about your vacation on social media or keeping a blog about your adventures, as this information can be used by criminals to piece together a snapshot of your life.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?6. Limit social media use:Scammers and hackers often exploit social media to gather personal information and target travelers. To stay secure, avoid sharing trip details publicly and use a privacy-focused messaging app likeSignal to stay in touch with family and friends.7. Use privacy-focused browsers:You should consider using browsers likeBrave or Firefox with privacy extensions. Enabling "do not track" settings and utilizing private/incognito mode can provide an extra layer of digital protection.8. Disable automatic Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections: Disable settings that automatically connect to networks and manually select and verify networks before connecting. This prevents your device from inadvertently joining potentially unsecured networks.9. Use encrypted messaging and email: Protect your private communications by using services that offer end-to-end encryption for bothmessaging andemail. These platforms ensure your data remains secure from unauthorized access, with features like encryption for non-users, multifactor authentication and tracking protection.See my review of the best secure and private email services here.10. Travel with minimal digital gear: Consider bringing a "travel-only" phone or laptop with minimal personal data.11. Be cautious of public charging stations: Avoid usingpublic USB charging ports that could potentiallycompromise your device. Instead, carry aportable phone charger with you.12. Monitor your accounts: Set up transaction alerts on financial accounts and use credit cards with strong fraud protection. Regularly check your accounts while traveling to quickly detect any suspicious activity.13. Bring your own internet access with you: Find alocal or international SIM, amobile hot spot and a trustedVPN (virtual private network) service for those times you cant help but use public Wi-Fi. Using a VPN can enhance your privacy by encrypting your internet traffic, making it harder for hackers and third parties to intercept your data, especially on public Wi-Fi. A VPN masks your IP address, helping to obscure your location and online activity. While VPNs dont directly prevent phishing emails, they reduce the exposure of your browsing habits to trackers that may use this data maliciously. With a VPN, you can securely access your email accounts from anywhere, even in areas with restrictive internet policies.. A man holding his passport (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson)Kurts key takeawaysTheres plenty of good advice out there when it comes to avoiding public Wi-Fi and protecting your documents while traveling. To really stay safe, though, its important to start thinking about your data privacy and data security before even booking your trip. It doesnt take much when all is said and done, but it could make a huge difference to how you remember your trip for years to come.When was the last time technology made your travel more stressful instead of easier?

    Sikov - stock.adobe.comNewsCrowd-source testing helps drive Webex accessibilityConferencing software Webex has a number of accessibility features built-in and has worked with Applause to test how well these workByCliff Saran,Managing EditorPublished: 05 Feb 2025 16:16 Applause, which provides digital quality and crowd-sourced testing, has worked with Cisco to ensure ongoing accessibility assessments of Webex Suiteand to achieve consistent conformance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards for eight Webex products to date.Cisco said it has tripled its team of accessibility champions, who ensure inclusivity is baked into the overall product development process, which has helped the company to reduce software development time and reduce bugs.At Webex, we focus on people and improving their collaboration experiences. This focus fuels our innovation to remove the barriers of geography, language, personality and familiarity with technology, said Travis Isaacs, chief design officer at Webex by Cisco.Applause runs an independent community of software testers. This, it said, offers a global perspectives with access to numerous devices, operating systems and platform configurations to reflect Ciscos broad user base. It also recruits testers with permanent disabilities, such as blindness, deafness or mobility or cognitive differences, as well as temporary disabilities from injury or illness and degenerative conditions.At Applause, we want to make sure apps, devices and experiences are not just functional and intuitive, but that they are also enjoyable and perform optimally for everyone, everywhere, said Bob Farrell, vice-president of solution delivery and accessibility at Applause.Our ability to engage experts and end users in our community who can provide highly relevant, actionable feedback drives comprehensive quality and speed, with fewer and fewer bugs to address before launch. With a knowledge base and training to complement accessibility assessments, user experience research and testing, weve been able to create a programme that is thriving.In July 2024, Computer Weekly spoke to Suleyman Gokyigit, CIO at Fire, a US organisation which defends the rights of free speech, who is completely blind, about the need to improve accessibility. Gokyigit said that artificial intelligence (AI) offers an opportunitiy to boost the user experience in software, which helps to improve accessibility. He believes AIs potential reaches beyond making software usable for people with disabilities.The ability to have an actual conversation or being able to control your computer by speaking to it makes a lot of sense, he said.In 2023, Cisco began working with Voiceitt, an AI-powered program for people with speech impediments. The technology for Voiceitt learns the unique speech patterns of each user, which is then used in WebEx to help ensure what people say is better understood by others. It also offers real-time captioning and transcription.According to Webexs Accessibility in the Webex app document, the product offers a high contrast mode, custom layouts and keyboard shortcuts for users who are visually impaired. Webex also supports the use of screen readers, withCisco saying it is committed to the continuous expansion of WebEx compatibility with screen readers.For users with hearing impairments, it provides closed captions, and Cisco enables Webex conference organisers to assign interpreters including sign language to a meeting. Webex said the app enables users to customise a view for deaf and hard-of-hearing users to ensure the interpreter video is always visible.Read more about digital employee experienceRedefining DEX -Is user sentiment a requirement: DEX technologies focus on ensuring users have the tools and high-performing technology they need.

  • State of Open Con 25: Why public sector needs an open approach
    www.computerweekly.com
    Ivan - stock.adobe.comNewsState of Open Con 25: Why public sector needs an open approachOpenness, open source and open data were among the topics discussed at OpenUKs State of Open Con 25 in LondonByCliff Saran,Managing EditorPublished: 05 Feb 2025 15:15 Earlier this week, people attending OpenUKs State of Open Con were presented with a vision of open government that has the potential to improve efficiency and transparency.Given Channel 4s recent study that found young people are democratically disengaged and increasingly shifting towards authoritarianism, speakers in government and the civil service discussed the importance of open data to improve transparency in government.Lord Nat Wei said he was not surprised that young people in the UK want to vote for dictators, who he said show them they can cut through what seems to be many of the annoyances people face in day-to-day life when dealing with the public sector.We need to go upstream, both in the way we execute current government functions and how we participate [with the people public policy affects], he said.An example of an open approach is the Caddy AI large language model (LLM) assistant, which came about through a collaboration between i.AI and Citizens Advice Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale and Trafford (Casort).The implementation of Caddy at Citizens Advice uses a range of public resources from Gov.UK and Citizens Advice, as well as the latters proprietary advice content.It has been designed as a scalable framework, suitable for integration across government and into existing chat environments. From a technology implementation perspective, Caddy AI uses open-source technologies for backend operations.Opening up the UK governmentEmily Middleton, director general for digital centre design at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) used her opening remarks to discuss the benefits of joined-up government, which works when there is more openness. Ministers have been clear that a modern digital government should have joined-up services that are easy to use, she said.People shouldnt have to work out what benefits they should apply for and they shouldnt have to remember what steps the government needs them to take, said Middleton. Its still too difficult to collaborate and responsibly exchange data across public sector organisations. She added that the benefits of addressing a joined-up government go far beyond improving the system experience.One of the areas the government is set to make more open is in procurement. Lindsay Maguire, deputy director of procurement reform at Government Commercial, described the challenges procurement teams around the country face as quite rigid, which she said creates problems for marketplaces. According to Maguire, open procurement is more flexible and offers greater levels of transparency, which benefits public sector purchasing.Drawing on the success Ukraine has achieved in open procurement, she said: Ukraine is a great case study on opening up transparency.This requires open data and legislation for the procurement process. Without legislation, Middleton said: Were not going to be able to encourage all of the procurement teams across the UK to provide us with their procurement data.From 24 February 2025, open data standards will be embedded in public sector procurement legislation. Maguires team collaborated with the Open Contracting Partnership to develop the Open Contracting Data standard.Discussing the collaboration, Gavin Hayman, executive director at Open Contracting Partnership, said: Were really helping the government to understand whom theyre buying from, how much and what kind of outcomes theyre getting for their money.Read more open government storiesConservative peer urges government not to limit open source AI: The chair of the Lords Communications and Digital Select Committee calls for greater support for SMEs, competition and economic dynamism as artificial intelligence policies are developed.The challenges of open source in government: Public sector bodies may find their policy decisions are stymied due to the inflexibility of the software they deploy. Is open source the answer?Hayman believes this level of understanding needs to be part of the workflow of planning and delivering public contracts. The most important stage is actually not the procuring stage, where you have an idea of what you want to buy, but in planning.The process, according to Hayman, needs to start at the point a public sector organisation decides what it needs to do or the problem it needs to solve.Maguire pointed out that there are over 1,000 procurement frameworks in the UK, which all cover what she described as slightly different sectors, with slightly different suppliers.Publishing this data enables people working in public sector procurement to see where similar items are being purchased and query differences in prices for the same product.According to Maguire, the new open approach to procurement, which involves publishing data on what the public sector wants to buy, enables small businesses to engage in the process. Thats good for economic growth, she added.Another benefit is that the data can be used to achieve commercial outcomes. For instance, when several departments appear to be buying very similar products, a procurement team can use the data to negotiate the best price. Maguire also believes an open procurement process can enable procurement teams to identify supply chain risks far easier and root out potential corruption.Government as an open systemDuring the opening keynote at the conference, Wei proposed that if the government could be treated like an open system, it would be possible to simulate government departments, enabling policymakers to trial alternative approaches. As a technologist, investor and legislator, Ive often asked myself, what if we treat our own government like a system? he said.Wei added that such an approach would allow citizens and civil servants to contribute ideas and code to improve these digital departments. This goes beyond code and includes broadening the diversity of ideas policymakers can draw on.Treating the government like a system may seem a radical idea, but mapping workflows and processes so they can be managed through a system is fundamental to how most businesses operate. For the speakers at Open Con 25, it needs to be an open system with open data.In The Current Issue:Forrester: Why digitisation needs strong data engineering skillsLabours first digital government strategy: Is it dj vu or something new?Download Current IssueData engineering - Stack Overflow: Building the foundations of AIintelligence CW Developer NetworkAmazefit T-Rex 3 Inspect-a-GadgetView All Blogs

  • Sam Altmans Fusion Power Startup Is Eyeing Trumps $500 Billion AI Play
    www.forbes.com
    Sam Altman announced the $500 billion Stargate initiative at the White House last month, with a plan to build the world's largest AI infrastructure project.Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.Stargate, the $500 billion effort to secure American AI supremacy for perpetuity backed by OpenAIs Sam Altman and SoftBank founder Masa Son, among others, will require a gargantuan amount of energy to power it. As it happens, Altman and Son are backing a startup that says it can provide it.Its a fusion energy company called Helion that recently raised $425 million in a funding round led by SoftBank. Prior to that it banked $375 million from Altman, who serves as Helions chairman. It was the single largest investment check the AI billionaire has written so far. And Microsoft, a Stargate partner, was the first company to contract with Helion for a fusion power plant by 2028 a timeline that has some physicists skeptical.Stargate has not yet selected an energy partner, though it is considering a few, a person familiar with the effort told Forbes. Last week, OpenAI issued a call on its behalf for proposals for large contiguous power footprints in the United States. OpenAI said it would select contracts by early April. The company did not respond to a comment request.Helions CEO David Kirtley declined to comment on whether it was pursuing a contract with Stargate, though he noted it would be a great customer. We founded Helion to provide this base load, industrial scale, clean power, and that's exactly perfect for data centers, he told Forbes. We would be perfect for a project like it, referencing Stargate.Microsoft and SoftBank declined to comment.Stargate is President Trumps most ambitious AI announcement yet, a private partnership with plans to build massive data centers to support the worlds largest AI infrastructure project. Chipmakers ARM and NVIDIA have been named alongside Oracle as technology partners, while OpenAI is in charge of its operations. SoftBank, whose CEO Masayoshi Son is Stargates chairman, is responsible for raising funding. This is the beginning of a golden age, Son said at the White House press conference announcing Stargate.The project has faced early hurdles: Elon Musk openly split with Trump on the day of its announcement, questioning whether its backers had enough money to fund the project. Then, the obscure Chinese startup DeepSeek revealed a powerful open-source AI model it claimed to have developed with just $5 million raising questions about the need for an effort like Stargate.Regardless, the power question is increasingly urgent. It's unclear how an already taxed American power grid can continue to support an exploding number of data centers, let alone one of Stargates megacenters. Its first in Abilene, Texas, is expected to demand enough energy to power a small city.Venture capital-backed Helion, which launched 12 years ago and has yet to generate revenue, hopes to build a fusion reactor that can produce energy that is carbon-free, and nearly limitless. Its among at least half a dozen companies angling to solve the same problem, including two backed by Bill Gates: Commonwealth Fusion Systems, which has raised almost $2 billion, and Zap Energy which has raised more than $300 million.But none of them have come close to doing that yet. And scientific consensus suggests it will be at least a decade before they do if not more. I am very skeptical, as a nuclear engineer, that any fusion company can bring electricity to the grid reliably by 2028, said Brian Wirth, a nuclear scientist with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Of Helion, he said that while the companys technology is elegant, it has not yet said publicly how they would build it, let alone scale it.Kirtley said thats all in the works. Helions seventh generation prototype, Polaris, is up and running, he said, and if its testing is successful, the company claims it will be the first machine to generate electricity from fusion. For folks that haven't been part of the Helion journey or seen the data, or been a part of the technology, we expect there to be skepticism, Kirtley said. We build machines that do fusion and have repeatedly shown that we can do it.There are other energy providers of course Altman is also the chairman of fission power company Oklo Inc. but none quite so financially aligned with Stargate than Helion. But time to market is an issue and Stargate will likely rely on natural gas power plants to power its data centers initially. Those can be built quickly, but also come with a large carbon footprint. Stargate is currently breaking ground on 10 buildings in Abilene, Texas, where Oracle is leasing data centers with the capacity for AI compute requirements. That site, which is expected to consume 200 megawatts of power, enough to power tens of thousands of homes, will be powered by natural gas turbines.Still, Altman, who visited Helions headquarters in Everett, Washington, on Monday, appears most bullish on Helion, which he has touted as by far the most promising approach to fusion Ive ever seen.

  • AMD sees massive 24% revenue surge in Q4 but 28% lower profit dipped shares
    www.techspot.com
    In a nutshell: AMD reported blockbuster Q4 results, with revenue soaring 24 percent year-over-year to $7.66 billion. The data center business thrived thanks to wide enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence workloads. Despite this growth, the company's stock took a hit in after-hours trading, dipping nearly five percent. Quarterly revenue beat AMD's forecast of roughly $7.5 billion. Net income was $482 million, down 28 percent from the year-ago period's $667 million profit.The star of AMD's Q4 show was its booming data center business. Data center segment revenue skyrocketed 69 percent to $3.9 billion compared to Q4 2023. Meanwhile, for fiscal year 2024, AMD's data center revenue hit a new high of $12.6 billion, nearly doubling with a 94-percent jump versus 2023.Record sales of Epyc server CPUs and Instinct AI accelerator fueled AMD's data center growth. Over 450 Epyc server platforms are now available from major OEMs like Cisco, Dell, HPE, and Lenovo, including 120 new designs based on AMD's latest "Turin" Epyc chips launched in Q4. Most importantly, the company exited 2024 with over 50 percent CPU share at most major cloud providers."[It] was an outstanding year as we accelerated our AI hardware roadmap to deliver an annual cadence of new Instinct accelerators, expanded our ROCm software suite with significant uplifts in inferencing and training performance, built strong customer relationships with key industry leaders, and delivered greater than $5 billion of data center AI revenue for the year," said AMD CEO Lisa Su.The company's client CPU business also shined, with segment revenue up 58 percent year-over-year to $2.3 billion in Q4. The company saw PC processor market share grow for the fourth consecutive quarter, with its Ryzen desktop CPUs dominating bestseller lists at major retailers over the holidays. // Related StoriesLooking ahead to 2025, AMD expects mid-single-digit growth in the overall PC market and believes it can grow client revenue faster than the market based on its "leadership client CPU portfolio."The one soft spot was gaming, where segment revenue plunged 58 percent to $563 million due to declining chip sales for aging game consoles like PlayStation and Xbox. However, Su said channel inventories have normalized and will return to usual this year.Revenue declined on the PC graphics front as the company cleared inventory ahead of the RDNA 4 Radeon 9000-series GPU launch in early March. Su touted the improved ray tracing and AI upscaling capabilities of RDNA 4, positioning it to drive mainstream 4K gaming adoption.AMD closed 2024 with $25.8 billion in annual revenue, up 14 percent over 2023, as data center and client gains offset gaming headwinds. For Q1 2025, AMD expects $7.1 billion in revenue, plus or minus $300 million.

  • G.Skill unveils new high capacity and low latency memory kits for Intel PCs
    www.techspot.com
    In a nutshell: G.Skill has announced two new DDR5 memory kits for Intel PCs. The first is a low-latency 32GB kit running at 6400 MT/s with CL28 timings, consisting of two 16GB modules. The second is a high-capacity kit with a speed of 6800 MT/s and CL32 latency, available in four different capacities, with options reaching up to 96GB. The former will be available in a single configuration at launch, while the latter will be offered in four, with the flagship kit featuring two 48GB sticks. Alongside the 96GB kit, additional options include 32GB (2x16GB), 48GB (2x24GB), and 64GB (2x32GB).With timings of 32-42-42-108, the DDR5-6800 kits are designed for overclocking enthusiasts seeking both high capacity and top-tier performance. The kits have been validated on Intel's Z790 and Z890 platforms.To confirm stability, G.Skill published Memtest screenshots demonstrating the memory kits running error-free for over eight hours each on two setups: an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero motherboard with an Intel Core i9-14900K processor, and an Asus ROG Maximus Z890 Hero motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU.The DDR5-6400 kit is designed for people who value ultra-low latency. It was validated by running Memtest on an Intel Core i9-14900K system with the Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero motherboard, using memory timings of 28-39-39-101.The kits will be marketed under the Trident Z5 Royal, Trident Z5 RGB, and Ripjaws M5 RGB brands as part of G.Skill's strategy to reach the widest range of buyers. They are optimized for Intel systems with support for Intel XMP 3.0 overclocking profiles; G.Skill's press release makes no mention of AMD EXPO support.The new memory kits are set to roll out to retailers worldwide in March 2025. Pricing has yet to be announced, but they are expected to carry a premium price tag. G.Skill already offers multiple 96GB (2x48GB) CL32 kits under the Trident Z5 and Trident Z5 Royal brands, which currently sell for over $300 on Newegg. The new kit will likely be priced at least as high, if not higher.Last year, AMD introduced its DDR5-9000 kits for AMD systems, featuring a CL44-56-56 configuration and support for AMD EXPO overclocking profiles. Later in the year, the company also launched its cutting-edge DDR5-9600 CUDIMM modules, specifically designed for Intel's Core Ultra 200 processors and Z890 chipset motherboards. According to G.Skill, these modules can achieve speeds of up to 10,000 MT/s with air cooling. // Related Stories
