This know Windows 10 if you – so turn off the ad-tracking – ITavisen.no

Lørdag, 1. august 2015 – 0:57

Windows 10 og økosystemet rundt (Xbox og Bing) vet kanskje mer om deg enn du setter pris på.

Her viser vi deg hva du må skru av i Windows 10 slik at OS-et rapporterer minst mulig om deg og hva du gjør tilbake til moderskipet.

Oppdatert, 01.08, 1:16:

Vi presiserer: Disse innstillingene er på om du bruker Microsofts anbefalte innstillinger under installasjonen av Windows 10.

Vet hva du driver med
Det er fra før av kjent at Windows 10-installasjonen din deles til maskiner på lokalnettet ditt og på Internett, men det er også slik at selve OS-et snapper opp en god del informasjon om deg.

Det er to deler:

Windows 10 er nødt til å vite ting om deg slik at Cortana (som enda ikke er lansert i norsk utgave) skal kunne fortelle deg om ting som skjer i livet ditt, og gi deg relevant informasjon.

Microsoft forklarer (Red. anm: Uthevingen er vår):

«Microsoft samler inn informasjon for å fungere effektivt og gi deg en best mulig opplevelse med tjenestene våre. Noen av disse opplysningene deler du direkte, som når du oppretter en Microsoft-konto, sender en søkespørring til Bing, leser opp en talekommando til Cortana, laster opp et dokument til OneDrive eller kontakter oss for kundestøtte. 

Vi får noen av opplysningene ved å registrere hvordan du interagerer med tjenestene våre, for eksempel ved å bruke teknologier som informasjonskapsler, og ved å motta feilrapporter eller bruksdata fra programvare som kjører på enheten din. Vi henter også inn informasjon fra tredjeparter (inkludert andre selskaper



Du finner alle personverninnstillingene her («Innstillinger» -> «Personvern»), men det er i alt 13 forskjellige kategorier. De viktigste finner du under «Generelt», de andre må ofte være på for at apper skal fungere tilfredsstillende, men det er smart å gå gjennom dem for å vite hva som skjer i bakgrunnen uansett. Du bør også ta en titt under «Plassinger», der finner du posisjonslogger som kan tømmes. ITavisen

- Vi deler informasjon om deg
Den andre er i forhold til lovbrudd. Microsoft forklarer på sin personvernerklæringsnettside følgende (Red. anm: Uthevingen er vår):

«Vi deler den personlige informasjonen din med din tillatelse eller når det er nødvendig for å fullføre en transaksjon eller tilby en tjenesten som du har forespurt eller autorisert.

Vi deler også informasjon med Microsoft-kontrollerte partnere og datterselskap; med forhandlere som driver på våre vegne; når dette er påkrevd ved lov eller rettsprosess; for å beskytte kundene våre; for å beskytte liv og helse; for å opprettholde sikkerheten til tjenestene våre; og for å beskytte rettigheter eller eiendom tilhørende Microsoft

Du kan melde deg ut
Windows 10 er riktignok gratis, men det betyr ikke at Microsoft og partnerne ikke tjener penger på deg (Red. anm: Uthevingen er vår):

«Microsoft bruker informasjonen vi samler inn til å kunne tilby deg tjenestene våre, noe som innbefatter å bruke informasjon til å forbedre og personalisere opplevelsene dine. Vi vil også kunne bruke informasjonen til å kommunisere med deg, for eksempel ved å informere deg om kontoen din, sikkerhetsoppdateringer og produktinformasjon. 

Dessuten bruker vi informasjonen til å gjøre annonsene våre mer relevant for deg. Vi bruker derimot ikke det du skriver eller sier i e-poster, chatter, videosamtaler eller på telefonsvarer, i dokumenter, bilder eller andre personlige filer, til å gi deg atferdsbaserte annonser

Du kan «reservere deg mot å motta atferdsbaserte annonser fra Microsoft ved å besøke reservasjonssiden vår», melder Microsoft.

This happens in the body when you drink a can of Coke – Avisa Nordland

Your body is going through an hour of “roller coaster”.

Have you ever wondered what really happens to your body while enjoying an ice-cold Coke in the sun?

A graphics presented by The Renegade Pharmacist, a blog operated by former pharmacist Miraj Naik, shows the seven steps the body goes through after you’ve been drinking the popular soda.

It writes Side2. no.

1. The first ten minutes

Ten teaspoons of sugar coming into the system, which essentially corresponds to the whole world your need. The reason that you do not automatically throw up because of the overwhelming sweetness is fosfotsyren, which helps to cut the taste.

2. After twenty minutes

Your blood sugar rises quickly, and also creates a sharp rise the level of insulin in the body. Your liver responds to this by transforming all the sugar it comes across to fat.

3. After forty minutes

Your body has absorbed all the caffeine. Your pupils dilate, and blood pressure rises as a response to all the sugar that is in your blood. Receive Rene for fatigue in your brain are now blocked.

4. After three quarters

dopamine production stimulating pleasure center in the brain. This is the same physical reaction that comes using drugged heroin.

5. After an hour

Phosphate acids bind calcium, magnesium and zinc in the lower parts of the intestine, and serves to increase your metabolism. This occurs as a reaction to the high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners body has just received.

6. Over an hour later

Caffeine will get you to urinate. This means that all calcium, zinc and magnesium which was headed to your bones instead flushed out, along with electrolytes and water.

7. Over an hour later

You will go on a sugar bang. You can become irritated and lethargic, and has by now pissed out all the water that was in the Coke.



Helped overweight patients

When Naik worked as a pharmacist, he helped more patients quitting with long-term blood pressure and diabetes medications.

– Many of these told me that they drank sugary sodas on a daily basis. Some drank as much as three cans a day, so I tried out a method where I asked them to quit completely with soda intake, says Naik to the British newspaper Daily Mail.

Furthermore tell the pharmacist that a cut in soda intake generally had a positive effect on their health. This gave him an indication that the sugary drinks and lifestyle diseases hang together.

This led to Naik conducted several studies and discovered that several other researchers supported the hypothesis of his.

– I also made a presentation on Youtube which was well-received, where I argue that sugar is one of the main causes of obesity and heart disease, and no saturated fat that we all have been told, he said.

Supported by nutritionist

dietitian, Ella Allred, supports theses to Naik.

– These findings may shock you, but there is a good reason to give up soda, she says to the British daily.

NHS, the British health care system, has just regulated the upper sugar intake during one day from ten teaspoons to seven and a half.

In other words, that one coke exceeds the intake.

Windows 10 launch has not gone entirely smoothly – ITavisen.no

Torsdag, 30. juli 2015 – 17:48

Dere elsker Windows 10, og det gjør vi også (en mer fyldig test kommer neste uke), men lanseringen har ikke gått knirkefritt for alle.

Les også: Stor-oppdateres Windows 10 allerede neste uke?

Mye å glede seg til
Det er ikke så rart når omtrent alle Windows-maskiner i verden er forskjellige, eller i det minste har mange forskjellige dingser koblet i – uansett:

Det er veldig surt å ha lastet ned oppdateringen for å sitte der og ikke komme videre, spesielt om man til nå har brukt Windows 7 siden 2009, og har sett frem til noe ferskere og kulere.

Ikke installer fra «BT-mappa»
Feilmeldingen du ser på topp i denne artikkelen er det flere som har fått, men heldigvis er den lett å rette:

Gå til språk og region-innstillingene i Windows 7 eller 8 og sett regionen til USA. Endre også språk til «English (United States).»

Problemet oppstår fordi installasjonsfilene er satt opp til dette språket. En liten feil av Microsoft.

For tidlig ute
Dessuten har flere hatt problemer med selve nedlastingen, men problemer rundt dette er det nok ikke bare Microsoft som har skyld i (og vi tar vår del).

De har nemlig sagt at de ruller ut Windows 10 i løpet av forskjellige runder, så selv om du har c:$ windows.~BT-mappen betyr ikke det at hele OS-et er lastet ned, og for all del:

Ikke kjør setup.exe fra denne mappen. Da sletter du nemlig innholdet i den.

For mange snarveier?
En feil som Microsoft dog må ta på sin kappe er de som har mer enn 512 snarveier i start-menyen.

De vil oppleve problemer på den måten at alle snarveiene forsvinner etter oppgradering til tiern. Et problem som rammer et fåtall, men likevel er det surt for dem som opplever det.

How to put Windows 10 today – digi.no

Today, Windows 10-day, and many will upgrade to the new operating system. It is after all free for one year ahead for those currently using Windows 7 or 8.x.

Read more: Windows 10 is launched

However, Microsoft has previously warned that the deployment will be gradual, first for the testers who have been part of the Insider program, so for those who have booked the update via an offer that appeared on the screen earlier in the summer, so for all others.

Thus, it can take days, if not longer, before anyone will be early with Windows 10 actually get the operating system.

Refresh yourself

However, there are ways to force the update if one is impatient.

Microsoft has namely posted a tool they call for Media Creation Tool. It is uncomplicated: You choose whether to have 32-bit or 64-bit installation of Windows 10, and thus loads down a small program.

This program is intended to bring down ISO version of Windows 10, so as to have an installable file. This can be automatically added onto a USB stick or burn onto a DVD, which can then be used to install from. One must have a valid license key to install the operating system, of course.

Interestingly enough, one can also initiate upgrade to Windows 10 from the same tool, the machine you are running from. It assumes that you are running Windows 7 or 8.x.

digi.no tried to carry out the upgrade on a computer where we had not reserved Windows 10 using this tool. It was painless and quick and after about 25 minutes were brand new Windows 10 loaded.

You may also purchase an installation stick with Windows 10

Microsoft also points out that all those who have participated in Windows Insider program and to submit a version of Windows 10 10240, already finished version installed – but they must still run a quick update to bring down some patches that have come in recent days .

And that’s regardless of high probability that fixes and patches will continue to be closely in the days ahead – the company make it after all clear that Windows 10 as it stands today is just the beginning, and will be updated regularly . Our experience with the operating system is that it is not completely bugfritt as it appears on launch day.

As the previous editions are new Moto G a relatively inexpensive mobile which aims to provide much value. The screen has the same specifications as the previous generation, that a size of 5 inches and a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.

Further signs new Moto G with a rear camera of 13 megapixels, a front camera of 5 megapixels and a battery of 2750 mAh.

- Worst Android security hole ever – Avisa Nordland

Nesten alle Android-telefoner er berørt.

Sikkerhetsselskapet Zimperium har oppdaget alvorlige sikkerhetshull i Android, som de mener er er de verste i Android noensinne. Og sikkerhetshullene berører nesten alle Android-telefoner på markedet – rundt 95 prosent, skriver Zimperium i et blogginnlegg.

Det skriver tek.no.

Det var Joshua Drake hos Zimperium som oppdaget sårbarhetene, som befinner seg i et multimediabibliotek i Android som kalles Stagefright. Biblioteket inneholder programkode for prosessering av en rekke populære multimediafiler, og er laget i C++.

Utnyttet sårbarheten

Ifølge Drake kan ondsinnede hackere utnytte sårbarhetene ved å sende en spesiell multimediamelding (MMS) til telefonen. Alt angriperen trenger, er brukerens telefonnummer.

Angriperen kan så kjøre egen kode på telefonen og eventuelt ta kontroll over telefonen. Og det er ikke sikkert brukeren merker noe til angrepet, siden det er mulig å sende en MMS som automatisk sletter seg selv før brukeren oppdager den – for eksempel midt på natten når brukeren ligger og sover.

Sikkerhetsselskapet vil gå ut med mer detaljert informasjon om sikkerhetshullene på sikkerhetskonferansen Black Hat USA og Def Con 23 i neste uke.

Har varslet Google

Stagefright brukes ifølge Computerworld ikke bare til avspilling av multimediafiler, men også til å automatisk generere miniatyrbilder av videofiler eller til å hente ut metadata fra video- og lydfiler – for eksempel om spilletid, oppløsning og så videre. Det betyr at du kan bli rammet av sikkerhetshullet bare ved å kopiere infiserte filer til telefonen, ved å laste dem ned, eller åpne en nettside med det infiserte multimediainnholdet.

Ifølge Computerworld er ikke Zimperium sikre på hvor mange apper som bruker Stagefright, men det antas at de fleste apper som håndterer mediafiler i Android bruker biblioteket på en eller annen måte.

Zimperium  har laget «patcher» som tetter sikkerhetshullene og sendt disse til Google. Ifølge sikkerhetsselskapet reagerte Google raskt, og fjernet sårbarhetene fra interne utgaver av Android-kildekoden. Patchene har blitt gjort tilgjengelig for telefonprodusenter som er med i Open Handset Alliance – men erfaringsmessig tar det lang tid før alle telefoner er oppdatert. Dermed vil svært mange brukere kunne være berørt av sikkerhetshullene i lang tid. Drake tror ifølge Computerworld at maks 20 til 50 prosent av Android-mobilene på markedet vil bli oppdatert.

Zimperium berømmer imidlertid Mozilla, som har tettet sikkerhetshullet i de siste versjonene av Firefox for Android. Men Android-telefoner med Firefox vil antagelig likevel være berørt av sårbarhetene via andre deler av systemet.

So good is OnePlus 2 – ITavisen.no

The company reveals everything. (Video)

Tuesday, 28. July 2015 – 9:59

We have previously delivered rumor around the upcoming OnePlus phone, it we do not need anymore. Now it’s official.

Monster blubber
In OnePlus 2 we find the latest Snapdragon 810 processor, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB of internal storage and a 5.5 inch display in 1080p. Display Specifications are identical to OnePlus One, but the company promises a sharper display.

The camera is 13 megapixels and has also OIS and a lightning fast autofocus.

The phone has a nifty warning switch on since that makes it easy to change between all, priority or no notifications. In addition, the phone fingerprint reader and a USB-C connection.

Cheaper than expected
Early in July we wrote that One Plus 2 was going to be much more expensive than its predecessor but it turned out not to be the case.

OnePlus has announced that the phone will start at $ 330 (2705 million) for 3 GB RAM / 16 GB storage, but if you must have the flagship of 4GB / 64GB should you out with $ 390 (3197 million). The actual prices in Norway are probably a little higher.

The phone launches in North America, India, the European Union (known whether it involves Norway) and China on August 11.

Tired of the cord curl up? – Østlands-Posten

This trick solves the problem forever.

[Teknofil.no] If you have ever brought your earphones in your pockets, you know surely their closest magical ability to curl up in a single big tangle.

To avoid this problem, there are several solutions. One of the best we know about are easy to remember, and lets you easily and quickly saute headphones out again as if nothing would have happened.

Step 1: Fold the top portions

Start with the top two lines, ie those with stoppers on. Brett stoppers downwards towards the main cable, so they end up right across the junction where the latter splits into the two earpiece. Then fold ledningskveilen once over itself, up to the transition.

If one of the wires has a volume button, attempt to position this so the ports slightly below, but overlap transition.

All Foot: Torstein Bugge Norum, Teknofil.no

Step 2: Saute main cord around earbud wires

Hold the actual earbuds, and lashing the vacant portion of the wire around the combined cables. This is easiest if you have a flat cable on your headset, but also works fine with round cables. Move your fingers down while buzzing, so none of the cables coming off the “icing”.

Try to calculate the lashing so you have a little loop of all the wires at the tip. So it will look like:

Step 3: Lock coil

Now there’s only one thing left to do, namely to lock it all so that it does not come loose. To do this simply by pushing the entrance through the loop. Be sure to push it through all the loops and tighten gently until slightly.

Voila! Now you have a compact and curvy sure øreproppkveil, as it is just to put in your pocket and walk around with.

Step 4: Dissolve the coil again

To resolve coil again is the simplest of all. Simply take only entrance out of the noose and let earphones lashing out yourself. After a few seconds they are ready for use, and you can safely leave your blood pressure medicines and Scissors be shelved – along with aggression.

However, there are a few things to think about. First and foremost: do not tighten too hard as this could destroy the fragile links. Nor is it easy to understand how all of this will go to the one ear cord is shorter than the other.

You have got to keep your cool, and improvise a little. Attempts to get the earplug with the short cord properly positioned and then fold the other wire two or three times until it also correctly seated. Then you have to just make sure they do not slip before you get started with a little hum.

Time to cut out the white Apple earbuds yours?
