Opera accused of offering predatory loans through Android apps
[ad_1] The conditions only got worse for borrowers who missed their payments. Falling short by just a day could raise the APR as high as 876 percent. Also, the apps reportedly scraped phone contacts to harass family, friends and others with calls and texts in hopes this would pressure customers into paying up. These same […]
Huawei will use TomTom for maps now that it’s cut off from Google
[ad_1] It’s not shocking that Huawei would forge a partnership like this. With the US blacklisting Huawei over alleged security concerns, the Chinese firm had to either find a global navigation partner or else accept that its map software would be limited at best. At the same time, it’s still big news. Even if Huawei […]
Apple unveils animated musical series from the creator of ‘Bob’s Burgers’
[ad_1] The company has only narrowed the release down to “summer,” but you can already expect a star-studded cast.

Facebook says glitch led to rude translation of Chinese leader’s name
[ad_1] The company added that it was working to “fix this as quickly as possible.” Google’s translation engine didn’t have a similar problem.

Instagram removes the IGTV button you weren’t using
[ad_1] There have been a number of concessions over IGTV in the past. Instagram eventually allowed landscape videos rather than insisting on vertical clips, and it just recently enabled the option to post IGTV videos directly from the standard app. This, however, may be one of the more significant changes yet — it’s taking away […]
Spotify may be in talks to buy culture outlet The Ringer
[ad_1] We’ve asked Spotify if it can comment. There’s no mystery as to why Spotify might buy The Ringer. As with earlier deals, this could entice more listeners to use Spotify and, theoretically, entice some to subscribe. The podcasts themselves could be lucrative. The Ringer is believed to have made $15 million through its podcasts […]
Law enforcement is using a facial recognition app with huge privacy issues
[ad_1] Part of the problem stems from a lack of oversight. There has been no real public input into adoption of Clearview’s software, and the company’s ability to safeguard data hasn’t been tested in practice. Clearview itself remained highly secretive until late 2019. It’s certainly capable of looking at search data if it wants — […]
Microsoft will fix an Internet Explorer security flaw under active attack
[ad_1] The issue is significant enough that Homeland Security issued an advisory encouraging people to both be aware of the flaw and consider implementing workarounds, including temporarily restricting access to jscript.dll.
