| Zoom rolls out end-to-end encryption for both free, paid users - ETTelecom.com Posted: 28 Oct 2020 05:00 AM PDT  This optional feature is available immediately as a technical preview, meaning that the company is proactively soliciting feedback from users for the next 30 days, Zoom said on Monday. "We're very proud to bring Zoom's new end-to-end encryption to Zoom users globally today," said Zoom Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Jason Lee. "This has been a highly requested feature from our customers, and we're excited to make this a reality."The highly sought security feature is available on Zoom desktop client version 5.4.0 for Mac and PC, the Zoom Android app, and Zoom Rooms, with the Zoom iOS app pending Apple App Store approval. When users enable E2EE for their meetings, nobody except each participant -- not even Zoom's meeting servers -- has access to the encryption keys that are used to encrypt the meeting, the US-based company said. Account admins can enable this feature in their web dashboard at the account, group, and user level. It can also be locked at the account or group level. If enabled, the host can toggle on and off end-to-end encryption for any given meeting depending on the level of security and level of functionality they would like. In phase one, meeting participants must join from the Zoom desktop client, mobile app, or Zoom Rooms for end-to-end encryption-enabled meetings. Zoom first announced its plans to build an end-to-end-encrypted meeting option into its platform in May. The US-based company had said that since releasing the draft design of the platform's end-to-end encryption on May 22, it has engaged with civil liberties organisations, child safety advocates, encryption experts, government representatives, its own users, and others to gather their feedback on this feature. Zoom was earlier sued by one of its shareholders who alleged in the complaint that the platform failed to disclose some vulnerabilities and that the services did not provide end-to-end encryption.As a technical preview, Zoom hopes to gather input from customers on their experiences with end-to-end encryption.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Lenovo Chromebook C330 will solve your work from home tech woes - Manila Bulletin Posted: 19 Nov 2020 08:52 PM PST We got the chance to test out the Lenovo C330, an impressive budget Chromebook that hails design from the Yoga series. Here are three reviews from dad and the two boys.  Dad's Review: Chromebooks have gone a long way since they were first introduced about a decade ago. Looking at these devices now, it's easy to say that they've achieved a certain stature of ubiquity in the portable computing market. The work from home response to the pandemic has really spurred demand for affordable laptops and a Chromebook is a no-brainer.  Quickly, a Chromebook is essentially a laptop running on Google's Chrome OS. If you have a Google account and regularly use Google Meet, Calendar, Contacts, Chrome and Google Docs, then you're already familiar with what a Chromebook can do. Remove heavy video editing, graphics-intensive gaming and storing huge files: what you are left with is essentially a bare-bones productivity tool with excellent battery life. The Lenovo Chromebook C330 goes an extra step though because it has 3 extra things that I found to be quite charming for a budget laptop: (1) a fully rotatable touch screen that hails from the Lenovo Yoga line, (2) HDMI port which is a rare find for a Chromebook, (3) pretty loud audio out. You have to appreciate the fact that for the price of a mid-range Android phone, you get a Chromebook that transforms into a tablet. For presentations, you can connect this to a big TV via HDMI to watch Netflix or do your presentation. Eldest Son's Review: I really like the computer because it really feels nice to hold (Dad: that's the nice satin finish) and the keyboard also feels nice. I also like that you can use your fingers to touch the screen. It's also not very heavy. I'm not a big fan of the color white, but this white is actually pretty nice. Youngest Son's Review: I like it because you can draw with your fingers and change the colors of the paint! I can watch YouTube Kids and Netflix cartoons because it also transforms into an iPad! A note to parents using Google Family Link So for those unfamiliar, Family Link is an app that allows you to supervise your child's Internet activity with their own Android phone or tablet. At home, I am able to set parental controls for downloading apps and limits to browsing the Internet on my son's smartphone. He's old enough to use his own gadget, but still too young to fully call it his own. Because the Chromebook is based on Android, you can transfer the Google Family Link credentials to the Chrome browser. What this means is that your child can browse safely on the computer without any additional settings. For instance, Family Link automatically removes YouTube and replaces it with YouTube kids. Apps downloaded from the Play Store on the computer will also need your prior approval in the form of a notification on the Family Link app.  To summarize, this is the laptop for you if:
