Recently, the second-instance judgment of Youku's lawsuit against Xingyuan Browser has been made, and Xingyuan Browser Company needs to compensate Youku 200,000 yuan (excluding other expenses).

Apple iPhone 14 Pro is exposed to camera shake and noise: a fix will be released

Apple has released new high-end iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models, and now some users are complaining that these models have a strange camera defect. The two high-end phones start at $999 and $1,099, respectively. Some users have reported problems with third-party camera apps like TikTok, snapchat, and Instagram: The rear cameras on these models physically shake, resulting in blurry and buzzing photos Humming or grinding noise. At present, Apple has admitted that this problem does exist. "We are aware of this issue and a fix will be released next week," a company spokesperson said in an interview.

Hackers expose Tesla to set suspicious codes, suspected of treating different crash test agencies differently

Recently, the white-hat hacker and Tesla software expert "Green God" @Greentheonly tweeted that he had discovered a number of related issues with ANCAP (Australia), I-VISTA (China Automotive Research Institute China Smart Car Index), EuroNCAP (Europe), Korea NCAP (South Korea) and other vehicle testing center related codes. Tesla vehicles have always performed very well in safety crash tests. They have passed the tests of the world's leading crash testing agencies. The data released by Euro NCAP last week showed that the Tesla Model Y received the highest score.

In this regard, the hacker suspects that Tesla has set a special code for these test agencies (with the name of the test agency in the code) for the vehicle, and may adjust the settings to achieve better results in the test. If the code that activates the safety system can determine that an accident is imminent, any vehicle will not perform too badly in safety tests, and it may give it enough extra time to improve how the airbags deploy, among other functions. If the guesses come true, it would be very similar to how Volkswagen modifies software during testing to cheat emissions standards. Officials from ANCAP told the media that they were aware of the matter and launched an investigation, but so far, Tesla has not responded to the code.

Sysinternals by : It's time to retire C/C++ for new projects and use Rust

Microsoft Azure CTO, Sysinternals lead developer Mark Russinovich said on his social account "Speaking of languages, it's time to stop starting any new projects in C/C++ and use Rust in those scenarios that require a non-GC language. For security and reliability, the industry should announce the deprecation of these languages."

As soon as this remark came out, it inevitably caused widespread discussion. Someone asked if this was his personal opinion or a statement as a CTO. .NET Foundation member Shawn Wildermuth asked in the comments, does Rust have enough developers to push the work forward? A developer replied to this, "It's really hard to give up C/C++, but it doesn't matter; young developers can quickly master Rust, compared to trying to find talented C/C++ developers, this move much easier."

Currently, there are also related discussions on Hacker News and Reddit.

iOS16 Active Paste no longer pops up, the battery percentage increases the power display

Previously, Apple added a battery percentage option in iOS16, and users can easily view the current remaining power in the battery icon in the upper right corner. Apple recently pushed the iOS 16.1 Developer Preview Beta 2 update (build number: 20B5050f) to iPhone users. This update is 6 days after the last release. Netizens said that in iOS 16.1 Beta 2, there will no longer be "annoying" pop-up prompts for actively pasting content, and after turning on the battery percentage, there will still be a loss of progress bar as the battery power decreases. Some netizens think it is uglier and reduces the readability of the previous battery percentage.

The downloads in the early days of the release were not high, and Ueda made some changes that made the app unexpectedly popular.

After the update, Twin-Calc fixed two calculators horizontally, and the calculation results of the two calculators You can communicate with each other through arrow buttons, and the results of one calculator can be passed to another calculator through arrows, and then the user can continue to calculate on the other calculator. vice versa.

LibreOffice starts charging for Mac App Store version

The Document Foundation, which developed LibreOffice, began charging for Mac App Store releases. LibreOffice is a branch of OpenOffic and is currently the most popular open source office software. It has an enterprise version, LibreOffice Enterprise, which provides paid support, and a free community version, LibreOffice Community.

Starting this week, the foundation announced a fee of €8.99 for the version on the Mac App Store to support the development of the project. macOS users can still download the free version from the Foundation's website. The free version may actually be better than the app store version because it supports Java, and the apple app store forbids dependencies, so the store version doesn't include Java.
