German regulators won't let Tesla use the name 'Autopilot'

Google's Apple-mandated privacy labels for its Chrome and Search apps on iOS have drawn criticism from tiny search rival DuckDuckGo, which tweeted "no wonder they wanted to hide it."

Apple now requires all App Store developers to label their apps to inform users of what data they collect. This has been mandatory since December 8th last year, but only when an app is updated.

Microsoft has taken the increasingly normal step of releasing an out-of-band update to deal with the printer issue it introduced last week.

"Microsoft identified an issue that affects Windows 10 devices which applied the March 2021 security update released March 9, 2021," explained the Windows giant, "and a resolution has been expedited."

Russia and China have signed an agreement to collaborate on the construction of an International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) on the Moon's south pole.

The Memorandum of Understanding stated that China National Space Administration (CNSA) and Russia's State Space Corporation (Roscosmos) would work together to consult, construct, operate, and promote the ILRS as a comprehensive scientific experiment base.

A former asylum seeker with a postgraduate degree in cybersecurity who alleged his bosses were spying on him for MI5 has lost his attempt to claim he was racially discriminated against.

The anonymous man, who worked for an unnamed company that set up a UK cyber range in mid-2019, told the Employment Tribunal that he had quit after being subjected to racial harassment at work – but judges overruled all of his legal claims.

It might not have occured to rock lugging early humans in the Stone Age that gravity is a relatively weak force, but it is.

Throughout their evolution, humans have become accustomed to living on the surface of a ball with a mass of around 6 × 10²⁴ kg, and our planet being this size makes gravity on Earth a real visceral experience for such sentient bipeds.

Bork!Bork!Bork! Bork disappears up its own fundament today with a return to the place where it all began – a BSOD at London Victoria Station.

Pedants might point out that "where it all began" was actually a heaving McDonald's within the cathedral to public transport, but a BSOD is a BSOD regardless. The latest example of the breed, sent to us by Hesan Yousif, is gracing an information screen on the station concourse rather than one of the panels that used to be pawed by customers seeking greasy delights.

In what looks like a desperate last-minute attempt to keep his job, Mark Wood, the chairman of .uk internet registry operator Nominet, has claimed that a vote to fire him would cause the British government to intervene.

“We have been warned that instability will be of serious concern to government,” Wood wrote on Monday. “We know it would create a scenario which would make intervention more likely.”

Citrix is planning to make its Virtual Apps and Desktop Service (CVADS) more portable under an effort called “Project Bifrost.”

The Register understands that Project Bifrost will let users package their CVADS rigs so they can be moved among clouds. While migration and disaster recovery are obvious uses for the project, Citrix hopes it also improves portability so that customers can pick and choose between different clouds, and easily move to new cloud regions.

Having hitched its wagon firmly to Google's, Microsoft is to join the four-week and eight-week release cycle cadence that is now in the offing for its Edge browser.

While the two giants might have traded barbs at the weekend over the impact big tech has had on the media, in the browser wars Microsoft is seemingly following where Google leads, having ditched Legacy Edge in favour of the Chromium engine.

The Chinese government has asked Alibaba to give up some of its holdings, including Hong Kong's top English daily newspaper The South China Morning Post.

Numerous reports say the request comes amid governmental concerns that the e-commerce giant has amassed undue influence over media and China in general. The company has assets across many sectors, including retail, media, technology and fintech to name a few.
