The update is expected to be available to all users in mid-September As has been the case for years, Apple will release iOS 17, its new iPhone operating system, in early fall. Specifically, it should be available to all users of the apple firm in mid-September. Coinciding, more or less, with the launch of the more than predictable iPhone 15. Obviously, not all the phones that Apple has launched during its history will be compatible with this version of the operating system, which, among other improvements, will allow users greater personalization of your contacts or the on-screen transcription of calls. The first models have been out for years. Now, if your 'smartphone' has been on the market for approximately a little over six years, you will not be able to update it to the latest version. The phones that we know will not be compatible with iOS 17 were released in 2017, and they hit stores with iOS 11 as the operating system. These are the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X. Compat

Many companies are developing platforms capable of creating recordings on demand by the user. There are even some sites on the internet where the user can already test the technology. Although, obviously, it still has its limitations. One of the most interesting tools is GEN-2, created by the AI research company Runway, which had previously released a previous version that allowed users to change the style of videos and is still available on their website. The new model, however, does not ask you to upload any type of content. As is the case with imaging platforms like DALL-E or Midjourney, all you have to do is give them written instructions for them to share the video with you. Any netizen can try GEN-2. Simply access this page and access the platform using your Google account. Then, all you have to

In recent months, TikTok has been under scrutiny by US authorities due to concerns about data privacy and national security. The US government has expressed concern that the app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, is collecting and sharing data from American users with the Chinese government.  Additionally, it has been reported that TikTok has censored content that does not comply with Chinese government standards.

However, a federal judge temporarily blocked the ban, allowing the app to continue operating in the United States. In December 2020, the US Department of Commerce issued a new order requiring TikTok to remove certain features from the app, including the ability to share videos and process payments. However, this order has also been temporarily blocked

The massive layoffs in major technology companies this year have been a concerning news for many, especially those working in the industry. Technology companies have long been an engine of economic growth, but the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many industries, including technology. There are several possible explanations for the mass layoffs in large technology companies. One of them is the global economic slowdown due to the pandemic.

The music world is experiencing growing concern over the invasion of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industry. A few years ago, it seemed unthinkable that AI could create art, but now it has become a threat to the artistic and creative world. Record labels, such as Universal Music Group (UMG), have taken steps to protect their copyrights and have sent letters to streaming platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify demanding the removal of songs generated by IA for copyright infringement. In response to these requests, Spotify has removed thousands of songs created using AI from its platform. However, the reason is not directly for copyright reasons, but for the use of artificial streaming. These deleted songs were generated by an AI software developed by Boomy, a company that allows users to create songs by mixing different musical styles. Users have created around 14.5 million songs with this software and uploaded them to Spotify. Artificial streaming refers to the continuous playb

A recent study has shown that the half-life of hard drives (HDDs) does not reach 3 years. This research, conducted by Backblaze, was based on a sample of more than 17,000 hard drives from different brands, such as Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital (WDC), and revealed that the average durability of an HDD is only 2 years and 6 months. Backblaze collected detailed data from each unit, including power-up times, failure dates, serial numbers, capacity, and raw Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) data. Failed boot drives, those with data errors or inconsistencies, and units without SMART data were excluded from the study. The results revealed that Seagate units were the most prone to failure, while Western Digital models had better resistance. Surprisingly, the Seagate 12TB ST12000NM0007 was the fastest broken, with an average age of 1 year and 6 months and a total of 2,023 recorded failures. On the other hand, the Seagate 4TB ST400DM000 presented the most failures
