Telkom Kenya Submarine Cable Lands at the Coast

Submarine cable, the Djibouti Africa Regional Express-1 (DARE 1), has finally arrived in Mombasa. The cable, which is developed with investment from Kenya’s third-largest mobile operator Telkom, as well as other private operators in Somalia and Djibouti, is expected to deliver a capacity of up to 36 terabits per second. Telkom revealed its part in the project in February 2019 when it sealed a deal with the IT Ministry to start the development of the submarine cable project. DARE 1 links Djibouti, Mogadishu, Mombasa, and Bosaso, and is projected to give a robust alternative for routing internet traffic, in addition to reliably manage the capacity of traffic in the region. In a not-so-scientific way, this implies that accessing internet services will be consistent because the capacity to handle traffic will be larger. Customers will likely pay less for internet services too. DARE 1 arrives ten years after Kenya was served by its first submarine cable. According to Kebas...

Smartphone With An 18,000 mAh Battery

We have seen weird folding smartphones at MWC and pretty tame ones too, but this one takes the cake for being the weirdest of them all. Energizer is known for their batteries and they teased that they will launch a number of phones at MWC and sure they delivered. The Energizer Power Max P18K Pop (what a name) is the star of the show and it is because of one thing only: Its giant battery. The P18K Pop has an 18,000mAh battery which is absolutely ridiculous considering the fact that we such capacities on dedicated power banks. Thanks to this huge battery, the phone defines how thick a phone can be, and it looks almost comical. To put into context, that 18,000 mAh battery is 10 times bigger than the one on the iPhone 8 or 6 times bigger than the ones you see on regular smartphones and 4.5 bigger than the 4000 mAh units we see on smartphones. You can even use it to charge other phones, which can come in handy. According to Trusted Reviews , the c...

Netflix To Crackdown on Password Sharing

Netflix is trialling a crackdown on password sharing. Some users have reported seeing a screen saying, "If you don't live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to keep watching." A spokesperson told the BBC: "This test is designed to help ensure that people using Netflix accounts are authorised to do so." A decision has yet to be made as to whether the company will roll this out across its network. In the trial, users can verify they are allowed to access the account by a code, sent via text or email. Netflix is trying to crack down on ineligible users, though it is unclear how many people use the platform against their terms of service. Streaming platforms, including Netflix, HBO Go, Amazon Prime and Disney+, allow users to create multiple profiles within the account, but the terms and conditions specify they are meant to be used by people in the household. During a 2016 webcast, Netflix co-founder and chief executive Reed Hastings s...

'WCry' or 'WanaCrypt0r' Ransomware

When first reports began to emerge on Friday 12 May that IT systems at the East and North Hertfordshire NHS had gone down in a suspected ransomware attack, it didn't come as too much of a surprise: the NHS is a regular target for ransomware, it seems, not least because of the number of Windows XP PCs that are still run by lackadaisical and, frankly, negligently run NHS Trusts. As reports emerged from hospitals and GP surgeries across the UK - mostly from insiders rather than official admissions from the organisations themselves - it became clear that this was no ordinary ransomware attack. And it wasn't just the NHS under attack, but organisations across the world, with the ransomware propagated not by phishing, but the exploitation of a Microsoft Windows security flaw exposed by the Shadow Brokers in February. Microsoft patched the flaw a month later . So what is WCry, also known as WanaCrypt0r, the ransomware believed to be behind the global attacks? The origi...
