Coronavirus bursts Big Tech’s bubble

[ad_1] During RSA’s second day, the City of San Francisco declared a State of Emergency.

FCC proposes token fines for carriers that sold phone location data

[ad_1] The networks followed a similar pattern, according to the FCC. They sold location access to aggregators that themselves resold access to service providers, with each carrier relying largely on “contract-based assurances” that they’d get permission from customers before accessing that info.

[ad_1] At first glance, a system in which creators only have to pay for successful ads doesn’t seem bad, but it’s how Etsy plans to implement the service that has some sellers worried.

Professional ‘League of Legends’ is trying to work around the coronavirus

[ad_1] The move makes a lot of sense: while the spread of the coronavirus appears to be slowing in China, it’s better to be safe than sorry. The change in format will be dramatic, though.

How to buy a mirrorless camera lens in 2020

[ad_1] What are you shooting? Your camera likely came with a cheap kit lens, probably a zoom in the 24-70mm (35mm equivalent) range.
