We have identified a lot of news this week, of which we have selected the most important ones for you. Whether they will improve our existence or whether, on the contrary, they can be harmful to us in some way, let's see today from 19.00, at Coding Tech Select Episode 10, LIVE, on the Channel YouTube KodingTech.
Google launches Threadit, a kind of 'TikTok for Work'. The tool gives users the ability to work more efficiently on projects by allowing short video recordings to be sent between team members. In theory, this method is more efficient than an email or chat message and faster than organizing an online meeting. Threadit is currently available as a browser extension.
Rumor has it Microsoft wants to buy Discord for $10 billion. Microsoft is in a phase where it is looking to acquire community-based companies (TikTok, Pinterest) to more effectively promote its products and services. Unlike most platforms, where ads are the main form of monetization, Discord has implemented a subscription model, where for 10$ per month it offers users a series of benefits, this being one of the reasons why the platform is so popular.
There have been discussions lately about hypothetical situations in which two people living in the same home, who enter job-related meetings at the same time, could pose a security risk. Moreover, there have been occasional situations in which selfies taken in the 'home office' exposed sensitive data. To get in line with the world, the page of the Minister of Defense posted a series of pictures, from the last session, in which login data and phone numbers of an Army call center appear?. Cool, right?
Facebook explains, somehow, ‘the 'bracelet' he announced last week. Apparently it's an electromyographic device, meaning it can interpret palm movements and translate them into digital commands. Considering that the device won't be launched for another 5 years, I wonder what the point is, won't everything be based on 7G connected directly to the nervous system? Out of curiosity, will Swipe on Tinder work without touching the device? Cool. I (@Ioan) won't be scared by the fact that technology will lead us, but I sit and imagine that in 10 years, on my way to work, on the subway, I'll see rows of people with HoloLens and Facebook bracelets waving their hands between stations. Not that it's any different now. It's rare to find a person who isn't glued to the screen, with muscle fever in their thumb.
Other news to consider:
Trump makes his social media -> link.
A comparison of password management solutions -> link.
