Kamala Harris's campaign has also landed on Fortnite
As the 2024 US elections approach, Kamala Harris's campaign has ventured into the virtual world of Fortnite with a new map called 'Freedom Town, USA', aiming to engage younger voters. The map, devoid of firearms, offers a unique gaming experience focused on building and exploration, reflecting Harris's campaign themes. Despite the innovative approach, the map has attracted fewer than 300 active players. The campaign has also expanded to Twitch, combining political rallies with gaming sessions, which has seen moderate success.
Excel, here's what it was like 40 years ago
Microsoft Excel, a staple in the world of spreadsheets, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. Initially released for the Apple Macintosh in 1985, it quickly became a dominant tool, surpassing competitors like Lotus 1-2-3. Over the years, Excel has evolved significantly, introducing features like Clippy and hidden games, while maintaining its status as the most widely used spreadsheet software. Despite its success, Excel has been involved in notable errors, such as the MI5 phone number mishap and the Public Health England data loss, highlighting its imperfections. Nevertheless, its adaptability and continuous updates have cemented its place in both personal and professional settings.
Why Indonesia has banned sales of the iPhone 16
Indonesia has banned the sale of the iPhone 16 due to unmet local investment commitments by Apple. The Indonesian Ministry of Industry, led by Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, declared the device illegal without the necessary International Mobile Equipment Identity certification. Apple had pledged to invest 1.71 trillion rupiahs but has only invested 1.48 trillion, leading to the ban. The decision also affects the iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Watch Series 10, impacting Apple's presence in a significant Southeast Asian market.
Teams, the ransomware attack pretending to be IT support
The BlackBasta ransomware, first seen in April 2022, has evolved to exploit software vulnerabilities and social engineering tactics. Recently, attackers have been using Microsoft Teams to impersonate IT support, sending employees messages and malicious QR codes. This campaign involves convincing victims to download remote support tools like AnyDesk or use screen-sharing tools like Quick Assist, allowing attackers remote access to devices and networks. Security firms Relia Quest and Rapid7 have issued warnings about these tactics.
Do you still need an antivirus for Windows?
The necessity of antivirus software for Windows has diminished with the integration of Windows Security, which offers comprehensive protection against viruses and malware. While third-party antivirus solutions like Bitdefender and Norton provide additional features such as VPNs and data breach monitoring, the built-in Windows Security, combined with an updated browser, offers a robust defense. Users must consider their online activities and the potential risks of not using additional antivirus software, but for many, the built-in security may suffice.

The troubles of Telegram in Spain
In Spain, a judge from the Audiencia Nacional, Santiago Pedraz, ordered the suspension of Telegram following a lawsuit from Spanish media companies over unauthorized use of copyrighted content. The decision, which affected over 8.5 million Spanish users and raised concerns among privacy and freedom of expression advocates, was short-lived. Within 48 hours, Judge Pedraz planned to revoke his decision pending a national police report on Telegram's features and the impact of its suspension on users. Security expert Rafel López noted that Telegram has measures to prevent national operators from blocking its service, such as proxy services.
