Registered developers who downloaded iPad iOS 16 Beta 7 may have noticed a major change to the update cycle, as iPadOS shows that the version is now iOS 16.1. Is this a numbering mistake? Not according to TechCrunch. The website is claiming that this is not a mistake and the OSs new feature, Stage Manager, will be fully supported in 16.1, but the company is currently working out bugs in the new feature.

MacOS Ventura has also been delayed until sometime in October because of bugs with Stage Manager.

CNN: Ex-Twitter exec blows the whistle, alleging reckless and negligent cybersecurity policies

CompuScoop Staff August 23, 2022 0

Twitter has major security problems that pose a threat to its own users' personal information, to company shareholders, to national security, and to democracy, according to an explosive whistleblower disclosure obtained exclusively by CNN and The Washington Post.

The disclosure, sent last month to Congress and federal agencies, paints a picture of a chaotic and reckless environment at a mismanaged company that allows too many of its staff access to the platform's central controls and most sensitive information without adequate oversight. It also alleges that some of the company's senior-most executives have been trying to cover up Twitter's serious vulnerabilities, and that one or more current employees may be working for a foreign intelligence service.

NASA's first Artemis mission to the moon is "go" for launch.

The space agency on Monday (Aug. 22) cleared its Artemis 1 mission to launch an uncrewed test flight around the moon next week. Liftoff is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 29, during a two-hour window that opens at 8:33 a.m. EDT (1233 GMT).

The historic mission, the first of NASA's Artemis program that aims to return astronauts to the moon, will lift off from Pad 36B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It will be the first flight of Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket, NASA's most powerful rocket ever, and a critical test of its Orion spacecraft.

"We are go for launch, which is absolutely outstanding," NASA associate administrator Robert Cabana told reporters in a press conference Monday night. "This day has been a long time coming."
