Smart contract platforms dramatically expand the capabilities of blockchain systems, making it possible to implement any functionality that could be written on a traditional computer. However, with this expanded functionality comes the need to ensure that these smart contracts (and the value that they store, process, and transfer) are secure. General Smart Contract Programming Vulnerabilities Smart contracts are computer programs that run in a completely different environment: on top of a blockchain’s distributed ledger....
In June of this year, at the Google I/O conference, the search giant showed off what the future of Android and Chromebooks looks like.

Google announced the supported apps on their official blog on Thursday, September 11. There are some familiar faces, too, but one notable exception at this point....
When you use voice-to-text to compose a message, you’ve probably (hopefully?) run into the need to voice your commas, periods, and other important punctuation points. But it sounds like Google Assistant is here to help with all of that. As long as it works, you’ll no longer need to say something like, “period” or “comma” to avoid those run-on sentences. According to the original report, Google’s digital personal assistant will be able to discern when to automatically add punctuation based on voice inflection and pauses as you speak naturally....

Google has begun testing a new feature for the Play Store that allows users to postpone app downloads until they have Wi-Fi connectivity. The “Wait for W-Fi” option appears when only cellular data connectivity is available. “To avoid data charges, you can postpone the download until there’s Wi-Fi,” reads the new Play Store prompt, which only appears for a select few users who have access to beta versions of the Play Store app....
Recently, a couple of commit on AOSP indicated that Google is all set to replace Dalvik with ART in the next version of Android. Today, another set of commits from a Google engineer — Andrew Hsieh — indicates that the company might be replacing its usual API naming scheme convention as well. The commit “tentatively” renames the 64-bit API level to a non-numeric character — L. Google has always used numbers to indicate a jump in its API version, with Android 4....
The full list of new supported languages includes dialects spoken by a total of 300 million people across the globe, Google said.

In terms of design too, the Honor 6X doesn’t radically stand out. There is a slightly curved back and a metal unibody all around which we didn’t find quite impressive in our early impressions. Furthermore, there’s a standard 2.5D curved 5.5-inch Full HD IPS panel up front with an “honor” branding on the chin. The device is powered by a Kirin 655 octa-core chip with an option for either 3/4GB RAM, 32/64GB internal storage that is expandable up to 256GB via a MicroSD card, and a Mali-T830MP2 GPU....

Those of you who’ve been working with MacOS for a while have probably grown accustomed to using a combination of dock icons and Launchpad to open your installed applications. There’s another way to take on this task, one that might feel a bit more traditional to users who prefer multiple ways to open their applications. This alternative method is similar to Launchpad, without the search option. In other words, it’s just a straightforward application menu....
Budget-conscious workers who travel frequently, including digital nomads and more, are well aware of how important it is to get the lightest laptop possible. But they are also familiar with how much more it costs to pack powerful features into a tiny footprint. The sweet spot is a Windows laptop weighing under 3 lbs with at least 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD storage. Even if you have lots of large graphics, videos, or music files, you don’t have to spring for a more expensive computer, because a tiny external 2TB SSD is only $30....

Google rolled out a noteworthy change to Gmail for the web in April of last year, bringing it up-to-date with the “Material Theme”. Now, months later, that same change is finally arriving for the Gmail for Android app. According to reports, the user interface change is rolling out beginning today. This is a standard update, though, so it may take some time before it arrives on supported devices out there in the wild....
That’s both good and bad news for the software industry. 2021 was a record year in terms of the number of zero-day flaws in software like Chrome, Windows, Safari, Android, iOS, Firefox, Office and Exchange that Google Project Zero (GPZ) tracked as being exploited in the wild before a vendor patch was available. At 58, that was more than double the annual rate of discovery and detection of zero-day exploits in the wild since GPZ started tracking zero days in mid-2014....
According to WhatsApp beta feature tracking website WABetaInfo, an in-development feature spotted three months ago suggested Drive could discontinue unlimited free backups. It allowed you to exclude specific messages from the cloud backups to save space on Drive. The report claims that Google plans to stop offering the unlimited plan to store WhatsApp backups. In some strings of code, WABetaInfo spotted “Google Drive backup changing” notifications that would appear when the storage is almost full....
