Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: In 2021, it will report 1,549 violations and remove 514 APPs

At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office, Sui Jing, director of the Cyber Security Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology continued to promote the special rectification of APP personal information protection, and organized technical testing of 2.08 million APPs in 2021. 1,549 models of violations were notified and 514 models were removed from the shelves, effectively rectifying violations of laws and regulations.

Cook angrily criticizes regulators, strongly opposes iPhone sideloading

In his keynote speech at the Global Privacy Summit, Apple CEO Tim Cook emphasized Apple's privacy features that put users in control of their data, such as app tracking transparency, but he was also "deeply concerned" about the proposed regulations, questioning and criticizing them Regulations will weaken these features, exposing users to privacy and security risks. In the European Union, for example, the proposed Digital Markets Act would require Apple to allow app sideloading on iPhones outside of the App Store.

For example, Cook said that an Android version of the new crown tracking app once appeared on the Internet, which contained ransomware. Apple’s iPhone has also encountered similar problems, but as early as March 2020, Apple has blocked the loopholes, and Apple has rejected all new crown-related apps that are not endorsed by trusted institutions.

Microsoft president warns tech companies: Regulation will come, whether you like it or not

According to reports, Microsoft President Brad Smith said in an interview that regulation of the technology will come regardless of whether the industry is actively involved. So tech companies had better start this conversation now.

"It doesn't matter if you like it or hate it," Smith said. "It's normal for people to point out concerns. The bottom line is that we should step forward and look at how to make this work. If we don't, the work cannot succeed.”

Chrome, Edge browsers report errors after updating Windows 10/11

Windows Update has been fairly solid and stable lately, with fewer reports of major issues.

But a potential compatibility issue between Windows Update and antivirus solutions is crashing browsers like Chrome, Edge and Firefox with the error message "The application failed to start correctly (0xc0000022), click OK to close the application".

Huawei employees use company system bug to unauthorized access confidential data

According to the China Judgment Documents Network, the case of “Huawei employees using the company’s system bug to access confidential data” shows:

In December 2010, after Yi (voice) was transferred from Huawei's Cable Material Control Department, he failed to clear the query authority for cable coding material prices in the ERP account according to Huawei's requirements. Until the end of 2017, Yi violated the regulations many times to obtain price information of cable materials in the ERP system through unauthorized inquiries and login with a colleague's account.

During the period from December 27, 2016 to February 28, 2018, Yi sent the purchase price of 1,183 cable coding materials from multiple Huawei suppliers (918 excluding duplicates) through the company's mailbox for many times. Kingsignal Corporation.

During the period from 2012 to June 30, 2017, Yi received Kingsignal's shopping card totaling 7,000 yuan and 5 pairs of basketball shoes (valued at a total of 16,437.6 yuan).

After the incident, Huawei issued a letter of understanding, expressing its understanding of Yi's actions against Huawei.

As a Huawei supplier and a listed company involved, a source from Kingsignal's securities department revealed that as early as 2018, it had dealt with the disciplinary violations of internal employees involved, and "this is only a personal behavior. "

In this case, the court finally sentenced Yi to one year in prison and fined him 20,000 yuan for the crime of "illegal acquisition of computer information system data".

Google is about to launch a 'Switch to Android' app on iOS

Last year, reports surfaced that Google was developing a "switch to Android" app for iOS users who wanted to jump from an iPhone to a smartphone running Google's Android system. Now the app has arrived.

Recently, Google quietly launched the Switch to Android app on the App Store in some global markets, including the United States.

With a price of $43.4 billion, Musk wants to take a strong private acquisition of Twitter

Elon Musk made a tough offer to Twitter's chairman to take Twitter private at a 54% premium to its pre-investment price. Musk's offer exceeded Twitter's expectations. Shares of Twitter rose 5% on the news.

Twitter’s board said it would evaluate Musk’s offer at the advice of Goldman Sachs and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. Tesla CEO Musk has continuously purchased Twitter shares since January this year, and currently holds 9.2% of the shares, making him the largest shareholder.

Just on April 4, Musk and Twitter CEO Praga Agrawal signed an agreement promising not to hold more than 14.9% of Twitter's publicly issued shares, either individually or in a group, within 90 days of serving as a director of Twitter, nor would he or she hold more than 14.9% of Twitter's publicly traded shares. This shareholding ratio can be achieved by other means. It's only been a week, and Musk's mind has changed.

The installation rate of the official version of Win11 in April was only 1.44%

While Microsoft is heavily touting its latest Windows 11 system, the operating system appears to be having trouble gaining popularity, with the latest market research showing that Windows 11 only runs on 1.44% of Windows PCs currently on the market, trailing even Windows XP 1.71 % install rate and Windows 7 4.7% install rate.

It is understood that Windows 10 still leads the way in adoption with 80.34% installations, likely due to the ease of upgrades when the operating system is launched.

Apple criticizes Meta's nearly 50% high commission

Previously, Meta has frequently criticized Apple's 30% cut. Long before changing its name from Facebook to Meta, CEO Mark Zuckerberg liked to use Apple as an anti-teaching book. Last year he said, “To help more developers make a living on our platform, we will continue to offer paid online events, fan subscriptions, badges and independent news products for developers for free until 2023. When we introduce a revenue cut It will also be less than 30% of Apple and others when the rules are in place..."

However, Meta recently announced that it plans to take a 47.5% cut of those digital assets sold through the Metaverse Horizon Worlds platform.

Apple spokesman Fred Sainz said:

"Meta has repeatedly accused Apple of scapegoating small businesses and developers by charging developers a 30 percent commission for in-app purchases made through the Apple App Store."

"Meta now charges these developers more than any other platform. Meta's statement exposes its hypocrisy. It shows that they want to use Apple's app store platform for free, but also want to use their own platform. There are benefits for developers and small businesses."

Fall short, 54,000 Stars once returned to zero

The author of the HTTPie project made its first commit on GitHub in 2012, and it has been 10 years since then. After continuous iteration and improvement, HTTPie has now become one of the most popular API tools on the GitHub platform, with more than 54,000 Stars and more than 1,000 Watches.

Recently, due to the improper operation of the project author, all 54,000 Stars were accidentally reset to zero. Project author Jakub Roztocil recently blogged that he accidentally made the project's repository private, an action that allowed GitHub to delete the community it spent 10 years building.

Afterwards, Jakub contacted GitHub for the first time, hoping that GitHub could help them restore the original data. But GitHub refused to restore the data, citing undesirable side effects and wasteful resource costs.

HTTPie has now been republished.
