The last few days have brought good news for all of us: the long-awaited relaxation measures have come into effect! And because today students are returning to their desks, so heavy traffic is expected, we recommend that you listen to us tonight, at 19.00, LIVE, on the KodingTech YouTube Channel. We present to you, as usual, the latest technology news.
Here's what you can find out if you follow us:
Elon Musk's identity used by scammers to steal over two million dollars. Now, unlike the 'prince from Nigeria', if Elon Musk calls you, there's no point in thinking about it. You might want to transfer money to him on Revolut to make sure you don't miss the opportunity.
A new app called 'NewNew' has appeared, which seems inspired by a 'Black Mirror' episode. The app, which calls itself a 'human stock market', lets you rent a real person who, in exchange for a certain amount of money, will make the decisions you dictate. A kind of Sims, but in real life.
Although we discussed the launch of Donald Trump's "platform" last time, we returned to the topic in this edition. The figures show that the former president's blog fails to generate as much engagement as the Twitter platform. However, given a little more time, the former President and his team will surely fix the problem of lack of engagement. By what methods, remains to be seen.
The Italian Competition Council is imposing a 100 million euro fine for Google's anti-competitive practices regarding Android Auto. The council says Google prevented Enel X Italia, the maker of the JuicePass electric car charging app, from being listed on the platform. Google says it did nothing wrong in this situation. Should we take their word for it?
A Goldman Sachs manager resigned after his investment in Dogecoin made him millions. However, we do not know if the saying "money makes you crazy" applies here or if the decision was actually well thought out and calculated. We look forward to seeing you at 19.00, on the show's LIVE chat, tell us your opinion.
Facebook is testing a pop-up window that alerts you that you haven't read the content you're about to share. Thus, the platform aims to reduce the spread of fake news through this alert. Whether it will have an effect or not, we will give our opinion tonight at 7:00 PM, at Coding Tech Select Episode 18.
The Wordclass gym chain was fined 2,000 euros for sending an employee's resignation request to an internal WhatsApp group, in which all the company's employees were present. Thus, the authorities found that members of the group had unauthorized access to personal data. Apparently, things are starting to move in Romania regarding GDPR.
E-Bay allows the purchase of NFTs from certain categories through its platform and is willing to accept payments in cryptocurrencies in the near future. And this is just the beginning!
It seems that Google is planning to end the era of passwords. For security reasons, they say. We have an opinion on this too, so stay close tonight.
As I said at the beginning, traffic is expected this evening. So, it's a good opportunity to listen to us and get up to date with the latest technology news. Don't hesitate to comment with us in the chat section of LIVE, this is only if you are a passenger. We do not encourage you to do this at all if you are the driver.
You can follow us here, LIVE, from 19.00, and until then you can set a Reminder, to make sure you don't miss this Episode of Koding Tech Select 18.
See you soon!
