WhatsApp chats deleted from not destroyed altogether – Daily 26



TECHNOLOGY

Saturday July 30, 2016

iOS researcher Jonathan Zdziarski has discovered that retains and stores WhatsApp chats even after they have been removed. According to The Verge, it creates “a treasure of information potential” for anyone with physical access to the device. Data can also be retrieved through a system of remote backup. This vulnerability was found in the iOS version.

The programmer explained that the application does not overwrite the deleted default chats, so that they remain as recoverable. Zdziarski attributes the problem to using SQLite library in the coding of the application, which does not overwrite the default. According to the computer, the only way to eliminate conversations WhatsApp, is to completely remove the application.

The Verge notes that WhatsApp has been praised by privacy advocates when choosing the default encryption end to end through the Signal protocol. However, this system only protects data in transit, while the findings of Zdziarski refer to what happens with this information once the phone come, especially when stored on the local disk device or remote storage iCloud, in the case of iPhones devices.

The average adds that WhatsApp messages are backed up in iCloud without hard coded, so that the discovery means that the police could obtain a record of the talks through a court order, even if the conversation it was removed from the application. The Verge notes that the news should not be alarming to users of WhatsApp, but questions the privacy promises the company made in the field.

WhatsApp does not erase your conversations completely – CNET in Spanish

Researchers discovered that talks deleted WhatsApp are not eliminated entirely, as a “forensic” file would reconstruct the deleted messages.

Jonathan Zdziarski, computer security researcher in iOS, published this week on his blog an article detailing these findings. Apparently, even though the talks are deleted, a file remains on the device and iCloud, which would allow anyone with access to your device or account iCloud could get that forensic file and reconstruct the conversations.

Zdziarski says the problem is not exclusive to WhatsApp, iMessage –of Apple– but also presents him. Even, the researcher says that the problem of iMessage could be worse than WhatsApp, since the file of the talks would be available in iCloud, iPad, computer or any other device where iMessages received.

According to the researcher, the problem is not Apple, WhatsApp or Facebook. The vulnerability lies in SQLite, a library used to create these applications, since it is programmed to only delete those files when you no longer have storage space. SQLite is sponsored by Facebook, Bloomberg and Mozilla, among others.

Spanish CNET contacted Apple and Facebook (owner of WhatsApp) to request information. Update this article to answer.



WhatsApp: do not panic

While thinking about a third party to get your conversation history sounds like something creepy, Zdziarski says it is not so simple rebuild chats, taking into account that to do so you need access to your device and then back up to iCloud, or failing that, to the backup in iTunes.

However, there are also precautions. The researcher recommends encrypt (or encrypt) the backups in iCloud and / or iTunes and do not store the password in the Keychain passwords Apple.

Zdziarski also recommends removing the application of WhatsApp for iOS periodically, although this only ensures the elimination of chats on the side of WhatsApp, but the coroner will file in iCloud backup.

Today is the last day to install Windows 10 free, but is it worth? – The opinion

Hey, Cortana, worth finally come down Windows 10 or not? We imagine that if we could ask the question, the response of the virtual assistant Windows-and one of the main bets of your new system operational-would be positive.

After all, Microsoft has been suggesting to its users in ways very little soirees to install the latest version of its operating system .

some even believe that crossed the line, using “pop-ups” intrusive and unclear, which led some to install the system without trying.

All that will be history in the early hours of Friday when Microsoft’s free offer expires. After the time limit, can still install, but you will have to pay about $ 100 in the home version, and nearly double for professional.

It is recalled that only users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are within the offer. Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 and 8 for businesses must pay anyway.



But is it worth?

Perhaps the most direct answer is “depends” . If your computer is too old, is likely to put Windows 10 takes to make things worse rather than better

minimum requirements for Windows 10

  • 1GHz or more processor
  • 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2GB for 64-bit
  • 16 GB free space on your hard disk
  • 800 × 600 minimum monitor resolution
  • DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 graphics card

Source: Microsoft

“If your PC touches that hardware (… ) or even exceed it, might not be able to access certain advanced technologies such as Cortana or independent desktops without slowing down too much computer use, “writes Juan Antonio Pascual, in the ComputerHoy site.

One way to check if your computer can understand the new system is use the “Get Windows 10″ app that explains the page microsoft, is an icon should appear in your tray (if you have a genuine version of Windows 7 or 8 comprised within the range of update).

a menu at the top left corner contain the “checks my computer “(or, failing that, a text that tell you that your computer is ready for installation appear). This must tell you if there are any compatibility issues and how to fix it.

Assuming that your computer meets the requirements, these are some of the factors to consider before making a decision.

 A reminder screen Microsoft
“Sorry to interrupt, but this is important.”: reminder Microsoft that offer free upgrade to Windows 10 is ending

Advantages

  • Cortana: the possibility of using the Windows virtual assistant appears as one of the most notorious for desktop users advantages. As attendees on phone with which many people are already familiar, Cortana you may speak. Or you can write instructions (show me the weather, open the browser, etc.)
  • The return of the Start menu. this is a change that you’ll notice if you’re moving from Windows 8 to Windows 10. Many commentators have celebrated the return of this menu, whose absence caused confusion and inconvenience in version 8. the new operating system also includes customization options, . for those who want to give your computing experience a less standardized aspect
  • The Edge browser: celebrated as a favorable change from the Explorer . However, despite an enthusiastic reception, it has failed to make a dent in traditional browsers such as Chrome
  • Play XBox. Windows 10 will allow your account XBox to play on your PC, connect with multiplayer games and share your achievements on different devices.
screen countdown Microsoft for upgrade  & # XF3; n Windows 10
Time is running out …

Cons

  • incompatible programs: if you use related to the brand of your computer, such as Lenovo or Toshiba for example programs, most probably not work with Windows 10
  • incompatible devices. if you have very old external devices such as a DVD zip, will not operate with Windows 10
  • no more DVD. the new system will not allow you to watch movies in their environment. However, you can resolve this problem by installing an alternative display program
  • Privacy. the default settings of Windows 10 is another of those “machines absorbing data” that we are accustomed Google or Facebook. If you care about the data that companies like Microsoft collect about you, you have to go through the process of disabling the settings that flowed a river of your data to the computer giant.
  • the cloud: if you do not like the idea that your data move from one side to the other through the” cloud, “Windows 10 is not for you. Many applications are synchronized directly there. And although you can disable this, doing so will remove some of the functionality of the system.

Some key questions before time runs out

  • How long will it take me to install the new system?

According to Microsoft page, it will depend on factors such as the age of your device and how it is configured. But the company estimates that “in most cases, will take about an hour to update , once got” the package.

  • I installed Windows 10 and regretted it. If I change my mind again, do I have to pay?

No. Part of the “deal” offered by Microsoft was that once the system is installed, could return to him but had gone back to your original version.

So if you’re not sure, but think that maybe have Windows 10 benefit you, you can to download it now and decide later if you stay with it or not a good idea.

  • I installed Windows 10 on my computer, but I buy a new one. Can I install I can bring the new team?

No. As explained in the specialized site Supersite Windows, the license is not transferable to another hardware, so if you change your computer, you’ll have to buy new software.

Elon Musk opens the door to the giant factory Tesla – Expansion MX

(CNNMoney) –

In the desert, just after Electric Avenue east of Sparks, Nevada, just over 1,000 workers build what will be the world’s largest building in terms of its footprint on earth.

This is the Gigafactory, where Tesla plans to build sufficient lithium ions to return to their vehicles popular. It measures about 5.8 million square feet, just over 53 hectares when completed in 2020.

Tesla believes that the adoption of electric vehicles has been hampered by the high cost of lithium batteries and you plan to use this factory to increase production dramatically.

The factory currently has nearly 200,000 square meters, 18.5 hectares of space on several floors, and the structure is only 14% complete.

“I think the Gigafactory be the most exciting in the world factory,” Musk said of the project.

By 2020, Tesla expects to produce more batteries in this factory which occurred worldwide in 2014. With that flow batteries, Tesla says it can reduce costs by more than 30%.

for now, Tesla only assembled in this factory battery packs for its energy storage products for home and industry. The same batteries are not being manufactured here yet. Workers are assembling batteries made in Japan battery packs that go inside the Powerpack powerwall and Tesla products.

Later this year, Tesla plans its battery partner, Panasonic, battery cells manufactured here. Panasonic and Tesla will operate each part of the facilities function as a large building.

Panasonic battery cells create and assemble as the Tesla battery packs.

However, Tesla is building. Even what is itself built without hiring a contractor.

The plant is strategically located about five hours Tesla factory in Fremont, California. That’s where car batteries will be assembled in new cars Model 3. lower cost batteries produced here will be crucial to keep the base price of the Model 3 accessible, at about $ 35,000. By 2018, Tesla hopes to create enough battery packs here to make 500,000 cars each year. The original plan was to reach that goal by 2020, but the firm that goal two years ahead by speeding up construction in parts of the factory and installing the equipment before.

By 2020, Tesla expects to produce enough packets a year to 1.5 million cars per year support. A large part of the production of the batteries will be used, not cars, but points static storage, a business that Musk expected to grow even faster than electric cars.

Inside, the building is reinforced Gigafactory huge red X tremors resistant steel. Although it will be a building shaped diamond, the Gigafactory is constructed as separate as protection against catastrophic damage by earthquakes structures.

While the building will have four floors, in some places only have two or three real story, which allows the use of high-altitude machines, some even dozens of feet tall.

Musk said he gets emotional when thinking about its enormous battery factory. “I think it’s quite romantic, in fact,” he said.

When completed, it will have almost diamond with one side pointing directly to true North. It is also nestled in a valley where thousands of wild horses run under the desert heat.

Radiation affected the health of astronauts went to the moon – Economy and Business online

the stage for future missions to Mars or asteroids near thickens. For the first time, a scientific study confirmed suspicions that radiation can seriously affect the health of astronauts on long missions.

The research, published Scientific Reports (the same group that publishes the journal Nature) , analyzed the mortality rate from cardiovascular disease, cancer or accidents in the US population aged 55 to 64, and compared with that of the NASA astronauts who died between 1964 and 2015.

the latter group was divided into three: those who were trained, but never participated in a mission; those who traveled to low orbits and the Apollo missions between 1968 and 1972, made the journey to the moon to orbit it or descend into it, which meant traveling into deep space.

The team of scientists, led by Michael Delp, University of Florida, discovered that of the seven astronauts of lunar missions deceased until early last year, three (43%) died from a heart attack or stroke, while two (29%) as a result of cancer.

in contrast, only 9% of their colleagues who stayed on Earth and 11% of those who made trips shorter distance died from cardiovascular diseases and more age than the Apollo program.

in the case of cancer, the relationship was more evenly, since 29% of the first group were affected by the disease and 31% of the second group.

Culpa cosmos

the key, researchers say, is that on his journey back and forth, the 24 astronauts who went to the moon were exposed to multiple sources of ionizing radiation in the form of cosmic rays and solar particles, both contained in high density in the Van Allen belt, located beyond the magnetic shield that protects the Earth from cosmic radiation.

These results are not only interesting for space medicine, but also for terrestrial highlights Claus Behn, a researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (ICBM), Faculty of Medicine, University of Chile.

“radiation cosmic tissue damage produced by free radical production. These are derivatives of oxygen, by interacting with a-and organic molecule is a protein, nucleic acid or lipid-, destroy, which in turn is manifested in the form of toxic substances and, particularly, in an inflammatory process “says physiologist.

This is because any alteration that occurs in the body, either through germs, physical or agents burns, is therefore an inflammation, which is a cumbersome process says Behn-, but which tends to avoid the spreading damage. the problem is that when is a more or less chronic damage, inflammation also perpetuated and this implies a more fibrous tissue proliferation by scarring. but there are places such as blood vessels, that healing is highly undesirable because it produces atherosclerosis. “that usually happens with age, our way of life, but if there is additional damage, such as the impact of cosmic particles, it is logical that this whole process is accelerated because there is more swelling than usual, “he explains.

this increased inflammation causes arteriosclerosis earlier and all damage that this implies, such as bleeding, obstruction of vessels and, finally, accidents at the level of the heart and brain.

the action of free radicals can also damage the genetic information, causing mutations, and increase the chances of cancer.

The “curse” with living astronauts landed on the moon – Teletrece

In 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon with the mission of Apollo 11 , which managed to put the flag United States on the dead surface of the moon.

The words by astronaut they were immortalized by the famous transmission. “This is a small step for man. A giant leap for mankind “.

In the coming years, five other missions of the Apollo program were made, sending astronauts to study the soil, magnetic fields and solar wind. In total, 24 astronauts who traveled to the depths of space during the Apollo program.

But a study published Thursday in “Scientific Reports” ensures that all these astronauts paid a price.

These explorers were the first humans to be exposed to high and continuing doses of space radiation. and that translated into a kind of “curse” that took the form of cardiovascular problems.

“We know very little about the effects of space radiation on health, and specifically on the cardiovascular system, “ exposed in a statement Michael Delp , researcher the Florida State University and author of the study. “This allows us to see first what the side effects are.”

Delp’s team discovered that the 43% of the deceased Apollo astronauts had died from cardiovascular problems . This death rate is four or five times to the one in the astronauts who only work on Earth.

to support the study, Michael Delp also made experiments with mice, which exhibited for six months similar radiation . The mice began to suffer problems in the arteries. “These datas show that deep-space radiation is dangerous for cardiovascular health,” said the researcher.

This research study made by the NASA in relation to the Apollo program, which was found in a loss is added bone and muscle mass in the unitholders astronauts of the mission. It has further been found that the immune system and the intestinal flora are affected , and appear certain vision problems.

Astronomers expressed surprised by the high temperatures is revealing the Great Spot on Jupiter , also called the Eye of Jupiter . This is a crisis fever.

“Scientists are puzzled,” said NASA publication July 27.

The great Spot on Jupiter is a recent gigantic atmospheric phenomenon, a whirlpool caused by a storm that generated 300 years ago only. As described by NASA, its particular red and its origin remains a mystery. Its size is 2.3 times wider than Earth and its winds reach 650 kilometers per hour.

A new study is looking at why this area is becoming a source of such intense heat, reaching to obtain similar to those of the upper atmosphere of the Earth temperatures. However, there is a big difference between the two planets, “Jupiter is more than five times the distance of the Sun”.

“If the sun is not the source of heat, then what you are?” , raised as a question researchers led by James O’Donoghue, of the University of Boston.

the high temperatures localized on the spot thanks to Spex spectrometer instrument that is in the infrared telescope three meters were detected NASA on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, also operated by the University of Hawaii.

According to the team O’Donoghue, an explanation of the unusual heat could be from a clash of two types of energy produces the stain. gravity waves and acoustic waves

“gravity waves are very similar to when a guitar string sounds, while sound waves are compression air (sound waves). The heating in the top about 800 kilometers above the great red spot atmosphere is believed to be caused by a combination of these two types of waves, which are ‘breaking’, like the waves on a beach “describes the study.

James O’Donoghue explained that these high temperatures could be represented as a” smoking “energy transfer . With this idea the design and image of the event took place (see cover photo).

“This tells us that the warming of the entire planet is explained by a ‘crisis energy ‘, and by this problem, high above atmospheric temperatures hundreds of degrees warmer than what might have been by sunlight alone, “said the scientist.

Jupiter, the planet that overthrew the solar system in the past , and experienced a recent crash of a comet , is suffering a crisis of high temperatures.

This phenomenon, on another scale, as was seen on Earth, in the Andes revealed the team, but never observed in the rest of the solar system.

What are the true colors of planets? – La Nacion (Argentina)

The images coming from space probes we have to study the planets and moons do not cease to amaze

are these the true colors of the planets ?. Photo: Thinkstock

The images coming from space probes we have out there to study the planets and moons do not cease to amaze

Some. planets are shown in more intense than other colors. But what we are seeing the true colors

The short answer is “sometimes” because there are truly colorful

Others are covered by rock and are virtually gray?.; so if you stumble upon a picture of them that are full of color, you can be sure that the image is not very accurate.

They usually tend to exaggerate the subtle differences that the human eye I could not detect without some help.

Anyone who has used a smartphone to take photos phone, you’ve probably encountered several options to exaggerate or lower the tone of the colors

Techniques. Similar are used to process images arriving from space telescopes, and almost always the colors are exaggerated.

what happens is that a camera placed in a spaceship rarely detects the colors in the same way that makes a human eye.

for example, red, green and blue components usually are recorded separately as three separate images in black and white and combined colored with the sole purpose of showing the photo .

the way the colors blend is designed to be as it would your eyes.

what’s more, the colors in the image does not correspond to the original, even if you have not made any attempt to exaggerate.

in principle, a camera, a spacecraft can record any part of the light spectrum.

When one of the channels is more beyond the visible range, such as ultraviolet, we still have to use red, green or blue to display it.

This means that the resulting image has a “false color”, which can be exaggerated even more.

Jupiter: this giant of the Solar System has “the Great Red Spot”, a huge storm oval shaped

While the more subtle colors. we see in other parts of Jupiter may be due to clouds granite look through different depths of the atmosphere, clouds in the stain itself was stained red by a contaminant that is still unknown.

it may be concerned phosphorus, a sulfur compound or a complex organic molecule.

The propensity of Jupiter by strong colors is shared by his innermost moon, Io.

There, frequent volcanic eruptions bathe the surface sulfide and sulfur dioxide, which makes the TV look like a yellow pizza with black olives, which are actually stains lava that are too fresh to be hit the yellow.

in contrast, the next moon, Europa, has a surface of frozen water.

This makes it very reflective but without much color.

most of the images of Europe color that you usually see is a reproduction with an exaggerated color.

Saturn has more colors dumber than Jupiter, despite to have a similar atmosphere.

Its natural color is pale yellow, so any photo you see with vivid tones will be a who colored.

Uranus and Neptune also hide in an immensely dense atmosphere

To our eyes, Uranus appears green and blue Neptune, because their clouds more. high condensate methane seen through a methane gas much depth that filters the red component of sunlight.

there is not much variation in color, the highest clouds appear white but everything else is blue or green.

rocky planets

We usually refer to Mars as the “Red Planet”.

the iron in its rocks and powder become iron oxide. It is why the planet looks red to the naked eye when we see in the sky.

It also looks red from orbit, and red is for the probes that explore its soil.

Here the debate is to show the colors as “really” look or if it should be displayed as if the quality of light on the planet was like dela Earth.

Venus is shrouded in a dazzling white clouds and the surface has only been visited by a bunch of Soviet probes

the dense clouds allow only a dull red glow reaches the ground.; so everywhere is that orange.

But in reality, the rocks are kind of dull gray lava.

Mercury is an airless world made from a drab gray rock with just a hint of red

Only reflects 7% of sunlight. falls on it, it’s just a little more than reflect a burning coal, but is three times closer to the sun than Earth. It is this proximity that makes sunlight make it look very bright, and does not need to adjust the brightness of the image.

However, to unravel the color variations that hide in landscape features of Mercury, it is common practice to use a false color to basically increase very subtle differences in natural color and make it readily apparent.

But do not think this is cheating.

they reveal truths about worlds that could have seen if your eyes and mind had developed there, and that the do the information we have available from the planets is maximized.

Samsung Galaxy screen would S8 4k – lagranepoca

Samsung Galaxy S8

After the success that is representing the Galaxy S7 , people from Samsung is required to develop a successor to live up to the expectations that have already generated, to continue the good run. For the tranquility of all its fans, it seems that the company is aware and prepared a crushing smartphone screen 4K and ready to support Virtual Reality devices.

According with new rumors, originally reported by the people of Android Authority, the future Samsung Galaxy S8, currently developed under the codename “Project Dream”, he would have adopted this moniker because you will have the ability to fully integrate with Daydream, the platform virtual reality created by Google and close to release this 2016.

to achieve this support, Samsung would implement some major changes next year to develop a version of its Gear VR with USB-C connection, the new standard adopted by Daydream, and of course, create a Galaxy S8 screen 4K to run with full experience of Virtual Reality.

so far the report sounds like a kind of conjecture, but does not look as farfetched if taken into account that some months ago Samsung’s own people was commissioned to officially introduce its first 5.5-inch screen with support for 4K resolutions.

If all this is true, Samsung would setting a new standard for high-end smartphones in 2017.

the question is whether users will be willing to adopt it, and especially pay.

The Rosetta probe short communication with the space robot Philae – Clarín.com

European space probe Rosetta today officially cut off communication with the space robot Philae perched on the comet “Churi” said the European Space Agency (ESA). “Today we have cut communications with Philae” said Andreas Schuetz, spokesman for the German space agency DLR. “is the end of a fascinating mission and crowned with success” added

“We kept this way listening a little symbolic ” said Philippe Gaudon meanwhile, the French space agency CNES. But the Rosetta probe, escorting the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko (known as “Churi”), moves away more and more of the sun and its panels are increasingly less light. “Therefore, must save energy so that Rosetta can continue to operate its ten instruments,” said the French expert.

After ten years of traveling as a passenger of the Rosetta probe, Philae achieved a milestone when landing on the comet “Churi”. After several rebounds, the robot stabilized in a shaded area . Equipped with ten instruments, he worked for 60 hours and then “fell asleep” for lack of energy .

as expected, the Rosetta probe complete its mission in a controlled area of ​​your kite fall on September 30 . Will be the end of space travel 12 years, which allowed advances in the understanding of these celestial bodies.

The mission is coming to an end as a result of the increasing distance of the spacecraft from the Sun and Earth. It is heading out to the orbit of Jupiter, resulting in solar energy significantly reduced to operate the spacecraft and its instruments, and a reduction in the bandwidth available for downlink scientific data.
