Notes Sample: “Are ‘Friends' Electric?” by Tubeway Army Written and produced by Kinte Synopsis “Ghost in the Algorithm” explores a world controlled by invisible systems, artificial intelligence, digital surveillance, and social media manipulation. Over the cold electronic mood of “Are ‘Friends' Electric?,” Kinte turns the algorithm into a ghost that watches, predicts, and influences human behavior. The song questions who controls the code, who profits from fear, and what happens when people are reduced to data. #GhostInTheAlgorithm #Kinte #AI Chapter 2: Ghost in the Algorithm After the transmission, the story enters the digital world. “Ghost in the Algorithm” shows how technology quietly controls people through feeds, surveillance, fear, and data. The algorithm becomes almost like a spirit haunting society, learning from human bias and selling trauma back to the people. This chapter reveals that one of the first dangers of the future is not just artificial intelligence itself, but the people and systems programming it. Lyrics [Hook] It's a ghost in the algorithm, watch it move through the feed, Selling fear by the bundle, calling trauma “a need.” If the future got a lock, we the ones with the key But the code got a shadow and it look like… me. [Verse 1] My timeline like a courtroom, every scroll feel like sentencing, Ads for a new face, while they oldface my dignity. They say “optimize,” I hear “colonize,” different spelling, same energy, They count my clicks like chains modern day inventory. I seen the pattern, it's fractal, it repeat on a loop, Smile for the camera then it label you “a threat” in a suit. Face ID love to guess wrong when the light get low, Funny how the future still can't see me glow. [Hook] It's a ghost in the algorithm, watch it move through the feed, Selling fear by the bundle, calling trauma “a need.” If the future got a lock, we the ones with the key But the code got a shadow and it look like… me. [Verse 2] I talk to my ancestors through a cracked iPhone speaker, They say, “Don't fear the machine fear the one who the teacher.” So I'm writing new instructions with a drum as my password, New language in the bassline, make the hate get plastered. They want a world with no spirit, just a metric and a graph, But we been turning grief to gold since the first aftermath. So if the bot try to mimic me, I'ma make it confess You can copy my cadence, you can't counterfeit my yes.
Adieu les codes : Comment la biométrie comportementale va tuer le mot de passe en 2026 Par Régis BAUDOUIN Se souvenir d’une majuscule, d’un chiffre, d’un caractère spécial, et changer le tout tous les trois mois… Cette corvée mentale, vestige des débuts de l’informatique, vit ses toutes dernières heures. En ce mois de juin 2026, le déploiement mondial des standards de connexion de nouvelle génération marque une bascule historique. Menée par l’alliance des géants de la tech, la sécurité ne repose plus sur ce que vous connaissez (un mot de passe), ni même uniquement sur ce que vous êtes (votre empreinte digitale), mais sur la façon dont vous vous comportez. Bienvenue dans l'ère de la biométrie comportementale décentralisée. Le coût de l’oubli : Selon les dernières données du cabinet Gartner, les demandes de réinitialisation de mots de passe représentent encore 20% à 30% de l’ensemble des tickets d’assistance informatique en entreprise, pour un coût moyen estimé à 15€ par intervention. Comment votre téléphone sait que c'est vous La biométrie traditionnelle (Iris, FaceID, empreinte) cartographie des caractéristiques physiques figées. La biométrie comportementale, elle, analyse la dynamique de vos actions en temps réel. C'est une science algorithmique qui transforme vos habitudes inconscientes en une signature mathématique unique. Lorsque vous saisissez votre smartphone, plusieurs dizaines de capteurs physiques s’activent en arrière-plan : L'accéléromètre et le gyroscope : Ils mesurent l’angle exact et la micro-oscillation de votre main. Le capteur de pression tactile : Il évalue la surface de contact de votre pouce et la force exercée sur la dalle en verre. Le rythme de frappe : L’algorithme calcule au millième de seconde près le temps de pression sur chaque touche et l’intervalle de transition entre deux lettres. Les publications de la IEEE Biometrics Council démontrent qu’en analysant seulement 30 à 40 frappes consécutives, un algorithme de notation comportementale atteint un taux de précision supérieur à 99% pour identifier le véritable propriétaire de l’appareil. Pour l’Intelligence Artificielle locale de votre téléphone, votre manière de taper ou de balayer votre fil d’actualité est aussi unique qu’une empreinte génétique. Si un tiers subtilise votre téléphone déverrouillé, le système détecte le changement de rythme en moins de 1,5 seconde et reverrouille l’appareil automatiquement. Source Le standard Passkeys 2.0 de l’alliance FIDO La question légitime que pose une telle innovation est celle de la vie privée. Hors de question que nos rythmes de frappe ou nos données de marche soient envoyés sur des serveurs Cloud pour y être analysés. C’est ici que la prouesse technique prend tout son sens : tout reste en local. Cette révolution s’appuie sur l’évolution des Passkeys, un protocole mondial développé par la FIDO Alliance. Les statistiques d’adoption de la FIDO Alliance pour 2026 révèlent que plus de 12 milliards de comptes en ligne dans le monde supportent désormais cette technologie. Métrique de SécuritéMots de Passe ClassiquesPasskeys + Biométrie ComportementaleSensibilité au Phishing (Hameçonnage)100% (Vulnérable)0% (Immunisé)Temps moyen de connexion~15 secondes~2,5 secondesTaux d’échec à l’authentification~14% (Erreurs de saisie)Moins de 0,5% Le principe repose sur la cryptographie asymétrique. Lorsque vous créez un compte, votre téléphone génère une paire de clés : une clé publique émise au site internet, et une clé privée, jalousement gardée dans l’enclave matérielle sécurisée de votre processeur (le Secure Element). La biométrie comportementale sert uniquement de déclencheur physique pour “libérer” cette clé privée locale. Le site distant ne reçoit jamais vos données comportementales ; il reçoit simplement une validation mathématique. Focus sur les Passkey Le principe fondamental d’un Passkey est qu’il n’existe aucun secret partagé entre vous et le service en ligne (Netflix, votre banque, Amazon). Contrairement à un mot de passe classique, qui est stocké sur les serveurs de l’entreprise (et donc vulnérable aux fuites de données), le Passkey sépare la sécurité en deux éléments mathématiques distincts et indissociables. [ Votre Appareil ] [ Serveur Web ] Clé Privée (Secrète) ── Chiffre le défi ──> Clé Publique (Connue) (Reste dans le SE) (Ne sert qu'à vérifier) Comment se déroule une connexion passkey ? 1.La génération de la paire de clés :Lors de l’inscription. Le gestionnaire de Passkeys de votre appareil génère une clé privée (qui reste enfermée dans la puce physique sécurisée de votre téléphone) et une clé publique (qui est envoyée au serveur du site). 2.L’envoi du défi (Challenge) :Lors de la connexion. Lorsque vous voulez vous connecter, le site web envoie un “défi” (un message aléatoire chiffré) à votre appareil. 3.Le déverrouillage biométrique :Validation locale. Votre appareil vous demande de valider votre identité (via FaceID, empreinte ou la fameuse biométrie comportementale). Cette action locale sert d’autorisation pour réveiller la clé privée. 4.La signature mathématique :Finalisation. La clé privée signe le défi envoyé par le site et renvoie la réponse. Le serveur utilise votre clé publique pour vérifier la signature. Si le calcul correspond, vous êtes connecté. Aucun mot de passe n’a voyagé sur le réseau. Les deux grandes familles de solutions Passkeys L’écosystème de 2026 se divise en deux approches techniques pour gérer ces clés cryptographiques. Elles répondent à des besoins de mobilité ou de sécurité informatique différents. 1. Les Passkeys Synchronisés (Multi-appareils / Synced Passkeys) C’est la solution grand public par excellence, intégrée nativement dans nos systèmes d’exploitation. La clé privée est stockée dans le trousseau Cloud du constructeur (Apple iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, Microsoft Account). Le fonctionnement : Si vous créez un Passkey sur votre iPhone, il est automatiquement disponible sur votre Mac ou votre iPad via iCloud. Le mécanisme de secours : Si vous perdez votre smartphone, vos Passkeys ne sont pas perdus : ils sont restaurés dès que vous vous reconnectez à votre compte cloud principal avec une authentification forte. Le cas du cross-platform : Si vous êtes sur un PC Windows et voulez vous connecter à un site avec le Passkey de votre iPhone, le PC affiche un QR Code. Votre iPhone le scanne, vérifie via une liaison Bluetooth de proximité que les deux appareils sont dans la même pièce, et valide la connexion. 2. Les Passkeys Matériels Liés (Single-device / Hardware-bound Passkeys) Cette approche est privilégiée par les entreprises, les banques ou les profils à haute visibilité (journalistes, politiciens). La clé privée est générée à l’intérieur d’un composant matériel dont elle ne pourra jamais sortir, interdisant toute copie dans le cloud. Les clés de sécurité physiques : Les clés USB/NFC (comme les YubiKeys de Yubico) matérialisent ce principe. La clé privée est scellée dans la puce de l’objet. Pour se connecter, il faut impérativement insérer la clé ou la badger contre son téléphone. Le niveau de sécurité supérieur : Même si votre compte iCloud ou Google est piraté, personne ne peut voler vos Passkeys matériels car ils n’existent nulle part sur internet. Les acteurs du marché des passkey en 2026 Le marché des solutions s’est considérablement structuré autour de trois grands types d’acteurs : Les natifs (Les OS) : Apple, Google et Microsoft fournissent l’infrastructure de base gratuite. C’est transparent pour l’utilisateur mais cela tend à verrouiller ce dernier dans leur écosystème respectif. Les gestionnaires indépendants (Cross-platform) : Des logiciels comme 1Password, Dashlane ou l’alternative open-source Bitwarden permettent de stocker et de synchroniser vos Passkeys de manière agnostique (fonctionne aussi bien entre un téléphone Android et un navigateur Safari sur Mac). Les solutions d’infrastructure (B2B) : Des plateformes comme Okta ou Ping Identity déploient ces architectures au sein des réseaux d’entreprises pour supprimer définitivement le risque de piratage interne. Le Passkey résout définitivement la faille numéro un de la sécurité informatique : l’erreur humaine. Un algorithme ne peut pas se faire berner par un faux site d’hameçonnage (phishing), car la clé publique est mathématiquement liée au nom de domaine exact du site. Si l’URL change d’une seule lettre, l’appareil refuse tout simplement de signer le défi. Sécurité absolue et friction zéro Pour l’utilisateur comme pour l’économie numérique, les bénéfices de cette numérisation invisible de la sécurité sont colossaux. Immunité totale contre le Phishing : Le rapport annuel de Verizon sur les fuites de données rappelle que 74% des cyberattaques impliquent encore un facteur humain (vol d’identifiants ou ingénierie sociale). N’ayant plus de mot de passe à taper, vous ne pouvez plus vous le faire voler par un faux email ou un site miroir. L’accessibilité universelle : Pour les personnes âgées ou en situation de handicap, la fin des barrières de saisie de codes complexes supprime la principale cause de l’exclusion numérique. La rentabilité pour les plateformes : Les géants du e-commerce constatent déjà une hausse de 5% à 7% des taux de conversion lors de l’étape de paiement depuis que les processus d’authentification contraignants ont été remplacés par la validation passive en arrière-plan. L’authentification invisible Le mot de passe était une anomalie ergonomique, une interface artificielle qui forçait l’humain à parler le langage de la machine. En 2026, la technologie est enfin devenue assez mature pour s’adapter à l’humain. En observant nos mouvements et nos rythmes sans jamais les trahir, nos appareils transforment nos gestes du quotidien en la plus sûre des clés. La haute sécurité n’est plus une contrainte, elle est devenue une seconde nature.

Instagram got hacked, and the way it happened was idiotic. Meta's AI doesn't know the difference between an AI deepfake and a legit facial verification video. Multiuple government accounts got hacked, including Obama's old White House account. This shows exactly why Facial ID could be a complete disaster, yet they keep pushing it.

Workforce security in healthcare is no longer just about compliance—it's about creating a seamless, secure digital experience for employees and patients. In this episode, host Sandy Vance chats with Chandramouli Dorai, Chief Evangelist - Cybersecurity Solutions and Digital Signatures at Zoho.com. Today, they will explore how password management, secure browsers, multi-factor authentication (MFA), identity and access management (IAM), and identity verification in document signing all come together to build a zero-trust, future-ready healthcare workforce. Healthcare organizations are under constant pressure to strengthen cybersecurity without slowing down clinicians and staff. In this episode, they talk about: Healthcare organizations face a constant challenge in balancing strong cybersecurity protections with the need for convenience and productivity. Weak and reused passwords remain one of the most common vulnerabilities across organizations, despite years of awareness efforts. The 2024 Change Healthcare cyberattack demonstrated how a single account without multi-factor authentication can lead to massive data breaches and operational disruption. Employees often disable or avoid MFA because they perceive it as adding friction to their daily workflows. Modern authentication strategies must tightly integrate password management, single sign-on, and MFA to reduce friction while improving security. Passwordless authentication methods such as passkeys, Face ID, and Touch ID are helping organizations improve both security and user experience. Organizations adopting passwordless authentication are seeing measurable reductions in login time and increased user adoption. Identity and access management platforms can enforce role-based and time-based access controls to reduce unnecessary exposure to sensitive systems. AI-powered behavioral analytics can detect suspicious login activity and help organizations respond more quickly to threats. Secure onboarding and offboarding processes are critical for protecting healthcare data and preventing unauthorized access. Many healthcare organizations still operate in complex legacy environments, making interoperability and integration essential for workforce security solutions. CIOs should approach AI adoption strategically by first understanding their current environment, educating users, and implementing changes in phases. A Little About Mouli: Chandramouli Dorai (Mouli) is the chief evangelist for cybersecurity solutions and digital signatures at Zoho Corporation. Mouli brings over 12 years of experience leading marketing and product strategy at Zoho. He carries an active interest in topics like workforce productivity, security, trust, and compliance, often sharing his thoughts and expertise on social media platforms like X and LinkedIn. “The greatest example is the 2024 Change Healthcare breach, which happened because of one compromised account. That one account lacked multi-factor authentication, which was a loose end, and the attacker was able to get into the network and get away with millions of confidential records. The major problem is the trade-off between security and convenience.”
The Co-Inventor of Tor on Why Your NHI Strategy Is Already BehindMost organizations have spent the last 20 years getting really good at human identity. 2FA. Biometrics. Face ID. Ephemeral tokens. They did the work. And the whole time, they were quietly pushing every ounce of that compressed risk onto the non-human side of the house.Service accounts with username and password. API keys that never rotate. Credentials hardcoded in pipelines. Long-lived tokens that were supposed to be temporary.Eventually is here.In this episode, David Lee sits down with David Goldschlag, CEO and co-founder of Aembit and one of the original inventors of onion routing — the technology that became Tor. With 20+ years building security companies, David G brings a perspective on non-human identity and AI agent security that very few people in this industry can match.They get into why NHI is not a new problem but a neglected one, what it actually means to build a zero trust framework for AI agents, the concept of blended identity and why your existing IAM stack is only part of the answer, why workforce agents and customer agents are fundamentally different and why treating them the same is a mistake, and why data is still the new oil and why that matters more now than ever.If your org is spinning up agents and hasn't had a real strategic conversation about what those agents can access, who they're acting on behalf of, and what happens when something goes wrong, this episode is exactly where you need to start.Topics CoveredThe origins of Tor and why onion routing still matters 30 years laterHow Aembit went from "Okta for workloads" to purpose-built AI agent identityThe three types of agents: autonomous, workforce, and customer-facingBlended identity and blended policy in practiceWhy ephemeral credentials are non-negotiable for agent accessZero trust for AI: the three pillars (identity, prompt security, data security)Non-repudiation in the age of agentic AIWhy vibe coders are making the NHI problem exponentially harderData security as the ultimate endpoint for every breach scenarioStay ConnectedSubscribe to the Identity Jedi newsletter at theidentityjedi.comFollow on LinkedIn, YouTube, and SpotifyRate, review, and share if this episode hit different

We spent the first 30 years of our lives telling people we were fraternal twins.Everyone else thought that was ridiculous. We looked too much alike. But our doctor had told our mom we were fraternal, so that was the story we carried around as fact.Then, at 30 years old, we took a DNA test and found out everyone else had been right. We were identical twins all along.In this episode, we tell that story, but we also use it as a doorway into the stranger world of identical twins. Why are some identical twins misclassified as fraternal? Do identical twins actually have the same DNA? Why does science still not fully understand why identical twins happen? Can twins read each other's minds, or is something more ordinary and still kind of mysterious going on?We also get into the questions people have asked us our whole lives. Did we ever switch places? Could we unlock each other's iPhones with Face ID? Was there jealousy growing up? Did sharing an identity make it harder to become individuals? And why did being twins sometimes mean taking the blame for things only one of us did?Twins are familiar enough that everyone thinks they understand them. But underneath that familiarity is something much stranger.

In MobileViews 608, I spent some time venting about Microsoft's new "Windows K2" effort to fix the performance and reliability issues in Windows 11—a move that feels long overdue considering, as Jon Westfall noted, the current OS uses React for the start menu rather than native forms. I also shared a warning about expiring secure boot certificates coming in June 2026, which may require manual registry fixes for those whose hardware doesn't receive automatic firmware updates. On the hardware front, my iPhone 15 Pro's battery health is dipping, but I'm hesitant about replacing it with the rumored iPhone Fold. While the larger form factor is appealing, rumors suggest it may lack Face ID and a telephoto lens, both of which are dealbreakers for my mobile photography and daily convenience. Jon shared a surprising shift in his workflow: returning to paper notebooks during meetings to improve interpersonal engagement, while using a Plaud Note device for the actual transcription. He also showcased his latest "vibe coding" success, building a card game app called "Pierogi Palace" in just 48 hours using ChatGPT and Codex to handle everything from the rule set to App Store screenshots. Meanwhile, I offered a mini-rant about Microsoft 365 Copilot, which has turned the once-simple task of scanning my daily doodles into a frustrating five-click process compared to the old, streamlined Microsoft Lens app. Looking ahead to Google I/O, we discussed the rumored "Aluminium OS," an AI-first operating system that aims to merge Chrome OS and Android. We wrapped up with some tech nostalgia, reflecting on the days when the original iPhone and Windows Phone 7 lacked built-in screenshot features—a sharp contrast to today's AI tools that can generate entire apps in a weekend. I also gave a shout-out to my 2019 Anker Bluetooth keyboard, which still works perfectly for my iPad Mini typing needs, proving that some hardware really is built to last.

Natalia Parker (00:04.206)Thank you. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (00:04.211)Hi, thank you for having me. Frazer Rice (00:05.966)We are, this is a new frontier for wealth actually. You are the first two person interview I’ve done so far. So it looks like the technical issues seem to have gone away. That’s great. But we’re gonna talk about something that I think is the driver for your new company and something that’s important to me because when I’m advising people around a lot of different topics, either estate planning wise or wealth management wise, the digital asset question comes up and. You’ve formed this new company. Tell us a little bit about that and more importantly tell us the problem that you’re trying to solve around digital assets Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (00:40.83)Okay, so I’ll first start with what is a digital asset because there’s a lot of different definitions out there and a lot of people have different concepts of what it might mean. of all, because crypto is in the news quite a bit, it is not just about crypto. Everybody has digital assets because basically if you are logging into an account and it is storing data, you have an account that has assets online and it could be monetized. It could be social media, which means that the information that’s there is very personal to you. It could be that you have reward points you’ve accumulated. There’s all sorts of types of assets that are out there and there is a pain point problem. Let’s die down. Natalia Parker (01:28.462)Yes, and we started actually, it was interesting, Tatiana just went through the process of writing a will and she will tell about it. I went through a divorce where we had online business and it was really, really hard to trace all those online accounts because I had no understanding how many we had and what to do with them and how even to find them. And Tatiana wrote a will. Frazer Rice (01:54.67)Yeah, no. so just to put a finer point on that, it’s not only the monetary assets and the social media accounts and everything that basically requires a password to get into it probably in this day and age. Natalia Parker (02:10.252)Yes, and I can tell you more than I lost pictures of my family from my daughter’s birth to age seven because I didn’t think that the iCloud password and iCloud identity gone through a divorce. Yes. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (02:10.336)That’s all. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (02:26.88)So she can resell for it. Yeah. Frazer Rice (02:26.992)Yeah, and a very painful thing to go through. so, Tatiana, as we sort of look at that example and make the definition a little bit even more in depth, how else do you sort of think about that in terms of the roles that are played from a Will’s perspective? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (02:49.366)So from a will perspective, you have two kinds of entities. You have things where business owners have created online accounts where their business is running off of certain platforms. And you also have a personal side aspect. And it may be an influencer, it may just be your personal account. The thing is that we’re dealing with a problem of immortality. And this means that these accounts remain open, active and online, ready for hackers and ready for now, today, AI to continue the trajectory of that account because they’re making money off of the data that we’ve put online. So we actually have two things to look at. One is from the business perspective and how do you transfer a business over? Because maybe you’ve built a platform for 10 years on Facebook, right? You have a following which is important to your base. Maybe you’re just a mom and you’ve put all your baby pictures on there, like Natalia, and then what is the loss? What is the impact of that loss? And both are really difficult on families. So estate planning means that we actually need to be looking at these accounts, we actually need to be planning for these accounts, because down the line, it’s gonna be a heavy impact, whether it’s sociological, emotional, or monetary. Frazer Rice (04:14.552)So as we think about this little bit further, the concept that these accounts are going to live on beyond the life of someone who created them. Maybe dive into that a little bit, because I imagine you not only have points of risk, certainly during the lifetime, and someone hacking in and pillaging your bank account or otherwise maybe blocking access or something like that, but what happens when someone passes away? How do those risks translate to the people who are inheriting these properties? Natalia Parker (04:45.258)Okay, let’s talk about it. We have those certain pain points. The first one, when somebody dies, the executor or administrator, they don’t know what is existence. They don’t know what kind of accounts the person had, what they wanted to do with those accounts. That’s a first problem because they don’t know even what banking, where the life insurance, did they have Venmo because they don’t have access to phone. The second one, didn’t know what the person wanted to do with that account. Did they want to close, transfer, memorize it? They have no clue. The other one is authority as an executor doesn’t mean that you will get automatic access to the account. Many people think that yes, it is. No, for Google it doesn’t matter. Unless you were appointed as inactive account manager. The same for Apple. Frazer Rice (05:48.68)I was going to say those annoying terms of services agreements that no one reads and you click so that you get, you move on with life and get into your accounts, that’s where some of these details are buried. And the intersection between that and maybe what we call estate law and how an executor works, that’s where the friction takes place. Natalia Parker (06:09.43)Yes, I agree and many people don’t even know that that feature exists like legacy contact for Meta and Apple or inactive account manager. Otherwise, when you look at the hierarchy online tool, we call it Castonian tool, outweighs everything what you have in wheel. If the online tool wasn’t enabled, then it goes what kind of language you had in wheel. if you appointed some digital executor and if that executor was authorized to have access to all your accounts. The third one, it always default to terms of service. Terms of service for basically 99 % of each company says do not give access. Frazer Rice (06:56.09)So if you were stuck and you didn’t do anything and you relied on the terms of service, you could be in a really deep set of troubles. They might delete your account, they may not allow access, or they may make it otherwise very difficult in order to access and do it. You think that the person who died with it wanted to have done. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (07:16.246)That’s right. Natalia Parker (07:16.598)Absolutely. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (07:17.504)That’s why some of these really large companies have a custodial tool. You do have to go to certain settings within the device or within the account. And you can enable these tools so that you can either add what could be a legacy contact. It may not have the term beneficiary on it, but it’s important to be able to enact that so that these settings will allow certain access down the line. A lot of the companies are very particular about that the larger ones have it and then a lot of them don’t so Knowing which company has the most value to you and those terms of service is really important Frazer Rice (08:01.84).For someone who has an account that lives beyond them, there are identity and financial risks to having that. I can imagine, you know, when you put a credit card on file and, it’s auto-debated or you have information lurking out there that that’s a problem. Maybe talk a little bit about how bad that can get. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (08:21.517).So I think there’s a few issues on that. We all know that there are scammers and hackers. The really important stories that have come out in the past is where AI is enabling recopying your name, image, and likeness posing as you live on a video stream or live on a phone call asking for money or data or information. And this is becoming really prevalent. This is where families, if they want to save and secure their reputational legacy. But also perhaps crypto, perhaps their banking accounts, it’s really important that they understand that they are all subject to this hacking because probably the likelihood that they have a social media account is there and that means it has public access. Frazer Rice (09:17.636).So let’s dive into the tech problem. I can envision, and I’ve heard before, the concept of someone passes away and people can’t access the computer, the hard drive, the phone, all sorts of mechanisms that hold a lot of this data. I think you could probably extrapolate that to the cloud accounts and things like that where other information is held. How do you help people think about that? Natalia Parker (09:28.162).Mm-hmm. Natalia Parker (09:44.398).Two-factor authentication. It is your phone, your email, it is gateway to your estate, basically, administration. If you don’t have access to the deceased phone or email, you don’t know anything about their accounts, first of all, second of all, where all those codes are coming to, to that devices. Frazer Rice (10:08.72).Right. And how do you fix that problem? Natalia Parker (10:12.91).There are some settings on iPhone because we kind of everybody has iPhone some have androids but mostly it’s iPhones. Yes, you have to establish the legacy contact. You have to make sure that specific features are turned off or on like stolen device protection. If it is on, it’s basically impossible to override it. Frazer Rice (10:20.793).Right. Beware the green text. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (10:24.212).Bye. Natalia Parker (10:40.302).because if 48 hours, is it 48 or 72, Tatiana? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (10:44.981).Well, so what she’s referring to is that the latest update in Apple has this feature for stolen theft mode, it’s called. So this happened to us on an actual case. Someone had given us a phone and they said, can you help us? The problem was the person had passed away over 100 miles away. because Apple tracks our location everywhere we go, it’s a habitual, you know, we’re creatures of habit, right? Same coffee shop, we go to the same store. So they know what our patterns of behavior are. As soon as it leaves that circle of trust, call it, that map of trust, theft mode can become enabled if the setting is on, which means that Apple has cut off any access to the phone. So for people who are dealing with families, let’s say, who live across state borders, this is a really difficult task for them. Because their phone is completely inaccessible because of theft mode not even because of the legacy contact. Natalia Parker (11:51.278)8. Frazer Rice (11:51.345)And then, you know, I’ve seen in movies and I’ve actually heard anecdotally, you know, the concept that the biometrics at play, they in a sense turn off too. It used to be you could take the phone and put it up to somebody’s face or you could take their finger and maybe get into the laptop by putting it onto the biometric reader. That world doesn’t exist anymore, correct? Natalia Parker (11:58.594)Mm-hmm. Natalia Parker (12:12.162).Correct. When you’re dead, the Face ID doesn’t work really well. Frazer Rice (12:17.59)Well, and that tells you something that they can tell whether you’re dead or not. And I would not have made that comment maybe six weeks ago before we started talking about this, saying, geez, these things are getting smarter. So as we start thinking about this, we’ve sort of analyzed a couple of pain points, areas where if you’re an executor and someone’s situation comes across their desk and they say, gosh, first of all, I have to try to know. Natalia Parker (12:19.758)Yes. Frazer Rice (12:43.81)What accounts are out there, what social media accounts, what subscriptions, what bank accounts, what crypto, what IP, that type of thing. So getting your arms around that’s important. Then the idea of hopefully someone has been organized enough to lay out where the accounts are and how to access them in one way, shape or form. And we can get into what a good practice is on that. But then if you’re the executor slash in conjunction with the estate planner slash the client, Natalia Parker (12:48.545)Yes. Frazer Rice (13:13.402)How do you plan for this so that you create a real organized state of affairs for the person who has to actually manage this stuff going forward? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (13:22.797)So I think it’s important to understand priorities. So everyone’s different, everyone’s unique. There may be priorities that are social media based priorities where there’s a lot of crypto at stake or monetary funds, even perhaps reward points. That priority list is best done in an inventory. Where we specialize is in the directives for this. So we’ve actually researched all these terms of services for hundreds of companies. We maintain this database so that someone can say, okay, if it’s company A, company A has three options for a directive. You can select that directive. That means that the executor will then know exactly, this is what needs to be done with this account and this is what is of value either for the descendants, the beneficiaries, and so on. So first the inventory, but actually the directives is really important. Frazer Rice (14:21.904)By directives, mean something maybe an addendum to the will or something like that that says these the information or the value, whether it’s monetary or otherwise, is going to be transmitted to such and such a person and given full access to it. Is that really is that part of the advice is to say, you know, for the modern will drafter, let’s say that it’s a really good idea to have an inventory of what these digital assets are. To set out who gets what in the will so that there’s a, let’s call it a backstop, so that if you have problems with the terms of service or something like that, you have something that goes through probate where somebody opines on that and you can actually get access to it after the fact. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (14:50.061)Yep. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (15:08.565)Yeah, so there’s two points there. There’s the access part and then there’s the directive part. Natalia Parker (15:09.313)Yes. Frazer Rice (15:13.315)Okay. Natalia Parker (15:13.556)Yes, there’s, yes, sorry, there is a language in the will where it’s actually specified that this is a digital executor who has the right to access all those accounts and perform all those duties. Frazer Rice (15:32.068)Got it. so in your experience, so Facebook or Google or Coinbase or things like that, for me anyway, in the last maybe three or four years ago, to get somebody on the phone to even have any understanding of what you’re talking about was gonna be just forget it, not happening. Are they getting better at understanding these situations? Natalia Parker (15:56.074)No, they’re not. They’re not. They don’t care. Facebook, it’s all AI. You don’t get a person on the phone in any case, Coinbase. You can, but it’s weeks of waiting for the response and they will ask you, we lost it. Can you resend it again? All three companies you name, they do have policies.for transferring or for somebody who is dead. But it’s still very, very difficult to deal with them. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (16:32.069)To add to that too and I’ll give you a case example is that we had social media requests to take the accounts down. Meta of course owns both Instagram and Facebook right and the images and memories that were left on these accounts were actually harming the kids. The request was can we close these accounts out and of course you can but Facebook interestingly enough agreed of course to close the account and even though it’s owned by Meta, Instagram said, no, these photos do not violate our terms of service. So it doesn’t mean you can close out both just because it’s Metta. It’s really, really specific and it’s really in their hands. Frazer Rice (17:19.003)Lovely. That will warm people’s hearts that have to deal with this. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (17:22.143)Natalia Parker (17:22.638)Yes, it’s hard. And can you imagine we deal with this day after day, but people who have never been in this position, they don’t even know where to start. Frazer Rice (17:34.747)So walk us through what you think a good scenario would be for someone who wants to, let’s say they have, I don’t know, a bunch of accounts, both monetary and social media and maybe miles and maybe other things, stuff like that. And they walk into a trust and estate lawyer’s office and they say, okay, I’ve got my house, I’ve got my liquid assets, that stuff trust and estate lawyers know how to deal with. but let’s say the lawyers aren’t as facile with the digital assets. A, help the person be a better client for that trust and states person so that it’s organized. And then, let’s start with that and then I have a follow-up question. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (18:21.055). Okay, I would say the first thing is that, you know, there are modern problems and we need modern solutions. And that starts with the discovery and conversation that we do have these immortal accounts online. As much as we may not want to think about it, and we can get into other stories about this, but I won’t do that now, there are reasons to enact on these accounts. That means deleting them, transferring, closing, out data, it might be biological data. There’s a lot of data and for me that means that data is money. It may not be money to us, but it’s money to companies. And what you want done with that is your choice still. So it’s important to make that decision. I think that any estate planning attorney who starts this conversation with their clients is already helping move the needle because everyone has online accounts, the average user has at least probably around 200 accounts by now. And that’s without a work account. Natalia Parker (19:28.492)Yes, we developed a tool basically where we have inventory and 15-20 minutes with assigned directives and it’s prompt. Just choose the companies you have accounts with. They don’t have to remember. just, okay, I identified those companies and we already give them a choice of pre-selected, pre-vetted directives, assigned a directive. Then take these report and go to your state attorney. Bring it, yes, bring it to them, include it into the wheel with specific language, appoint a digital executor, you’re set. Then you will just have to support it, kind of. Frazer Rice (20:11.609)No, so then the next question, so let’s say the paperwork from a will and a revocable trust, et cetera, is up to speed and covers the authority to access these. Then let’s say the executor is not the attorney and it’s a family member or a friend or something like that and you’re giving them the honor of helping to deal with all of this stuff. What do you deliver to them to help them be prepared for that time when you pass away? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (20:39.479)We- Natalia Parker (20:39.5)We give step by step directions on how to deal with each company. We give what this company has, what kind of account is that, what kind of paperwork you need, what kind of documents in what time frame. For some companies it’s three years, for matter in their terms of service it’s 28 days, but hey, you have an account for years there. Anyway, we give step by step directions. How to deal with this account to fulfill the directive. But if they can’t or they don’t want to, they can always hire and come to us. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (21:11.597)Go. Frazer Rice (21:17.361)Sure. No, that’s the backstop too, is that you not only provide the tool, but also some support behind the tool and the experience of having dealt with some of those folks, maybe even the contacts to call it one or the other company to maybe get from A to Z a little bit faster. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (21:18.326)Well… Natalia Parker (21:20.717)Yeah. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (21:21.26)you Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (21:35.245)It can be very overwhelming, that is for sure, and I think tech is constantly changing and the terms of service is constantly changing. So we have lot of barriers to entry to enact professional executorship and do it as best we can and a lot of it is because of technical bottlenecks, if you like. Natalia Parker (21:45.165)Mm-hmm. Frazer Rice (22:00.101)So this is a bit of a catty question, which is how many times have you seen this properly set up? Because I can tell you right now, I feel like I’m pretty fashion forward as far as tech’s concerned. I see the issue. I know my estate plan. The poor person, in this case, my sister, who’s my executor, she’s gonna take one look at this and be like, thanks a lot, man. Natalia Parker (22:08.651)None. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (22:25.901)What? Frazer Rice (22:26.033)And so I’m guilty as charge number one, but is anybody doing this with any sort of specificity yet? Natalia Parker (22:26.478)you Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (22:34.785)Well, can I just… sorry. Natalia Parker (22:35.112)No. I’ll start, Tatiana. Here’s the problem. We came across some people and they say that, I have spreadsheets where all my accounts and passwords are written down and my wife will deal with that at some point. First of all, there is no directives for those accounts. And second of all, it’s still illegal to log in under somebody else’s logins. Frazer Rice (23:02.853)Right. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (23:04.567)And I was just gonna say the reason we started this company is exactly what you just described. My brother is my executor and I was like, man, there’s no way he’s gonna know how to start at all because I have my fingers in a lot of different businesses, my personal. And so, you know, that floor plan and sort of direction guide was sort of how we started this. It became intense. I mean with Natalia. It became a really intense research project. We have a database that is constantly being updated. As executors become executors or as will writers are writing wills, we really want everybody to understand the importance of technology in this process. Because it’s moving really fast. Now that AI has come about we can even throw in the whole name image and likeness problem which a whole other sort of barrier of questions to ask. Frazer Rice (24:11.501).No, I’m going to bring you all back on to tackle that one separately. I think it’s worth its own half hour sort of figuring that out. But in the meantime, tell us a little bit about how people can find you. One of the things that I think you have on your website and some of your materials is a digest. Really almost like a questionnaire or a brief that allows people to think through where they may have digital assets. It’s not just social media accounts and your bank accounts. They’re like fruit and flower miles, things like that. I hadn’t thought of that, but yes, that’s a big one. Where can people find you and what kind of resources do you have that people can get familiar with the topic as they embark on this fun assignment? Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (24:45.399)Thank you. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (24:59.809)So the first place is our website and it’s actually, even though our company name is Dexit, which stands for digital exit, it’s Dexitplan.com because where we are proud is the actual plan of action that we’ve been able to customize for any individual. And then yes, we do have a sort of discovery questionnaire so that they can understand exactly what impacts them the most, where they may want to look at these accounts and have a plan for them. And yeah, contact us anytime, email, phone. We’re here, we’re not chat bots. We want to be sure that you are talking to a human. We know how this AI slop is turning out and we don’t want to be any part of that. Frazer Rice (25:46.501)I was going to add on to that too. mean this is not just for the end clients, so for anybody who sort of understands that they have this issue, obviously check out your website and do all that. But I would argue that for the estate planners, the accountants, the wealth managers, etc. who are advising clients, it’s a good resource to kind of help you get your arms around it in terms of advising people who are looking for help on all these different things. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (25:55.041)Yeah. Natalia Parker (25:55.575)Yes. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (26:04.68)See you Natalia Parker (26:11.136)Yes, because you can have the most compliant language in the world. But the executor will still start with the zero on day one. They don’t know the inventory. They don’t have the directives. Finally, they don’t know how to deal with those accounts. Frazer Rice (26:32.491).So give us the website one more time. Then take us out here with a funny story. One you’ve dealt with in putting this company up to getting it up and running. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (26:42.381)Okay, so that sounds great. So Dexit Plan. It’s D-E-X-I-T-P-L-A-N dot com. Dexit Plan dot com. And I guess I’ll leave you with a text story. We worked with a church here locally. They had their domain name purchased in 1997 and posted as in your own personal name. The person passed away over 20 years ago. Nothing was ever done with the titling of the church’s domain name. But the church has been forever on this domain name. It’s been over 50 years so to remark it. Rebranding a dot org is not an easy task. Actually, no kidding it took us nine months to get the church back their domain name. That was finding people from 20 years ago reopening email accounts from a long time ago, getting signatures verified and processed. It is actually doable, but it is definitely a task. So planning ahead of time would save hundreds of hours and a lot of pain. Absolutely. Frazer Rice (27:52.241)No, good object lesson for companies too. That it’s a good idea to see who owns what. Your domain name, any other digital IP, we’ll call it that. If you don’t have that in place. You may have a real forensic accounting job in the tech world to get everything back. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (28:02.274)Yep. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (28:10.337)That’s right. Natalia Parker (28:10.72)Yeah. Frazer Rice (28:11.705)Natalia, Tatiana, thank you so much for being on and we’ll look forward to talking again soon. Tatyana Thurston I Dexit (28:16.811)Thank you so much. Natalia Parker (28:16.888)Thank you.

E hoje é dia de MacMagazine no Ar!
On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss all of the rumors surrounding Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone, now said to be called the “iPhone Ultra," which is shaping up to be a comprehensive redesign unlike anything the company has shipped before.The iPhone Ultra is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max this fall, though reports suggest it will ship after the Pro models, potentially as late as December. Pricing is expected to start at over $2,000, making it the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever sold.The device will have a book-style, passport-shaped design with a 4:3 aspect ratio, wider than it is tall and unlike any foldable currently on the market. When closed, it will have a 5.5-inch outer display; when open, a 7.8-inch inner OLED panel takes over, making it just slightly smaller than the 8.3-inch iPad mini. According to design leaks from Instant Digital, the device will measure just 4.5mm thick when unfolded, which would make it Apple's thinnest iPhone to date. The outer frame is said to be made of titanium for durability at that thinness, while the inner frame uses aluminum. The back features a glass finish with a shorter, iPhone Air-style camera plateau housing two horizontally arranged rear cameras.The same leak revealed that volume buttons are relocated to the top edge of the device, aligned to the right. The inner display features a single punch-hole cutout resulting in a smaller Dynamic Island, while a Touch ID power button and Camera Control remain on the right edge. Reports indicate the iPhone Ultra will support iPad-style multitasking and layouts for running apps side by side when unfolded, befitting its iPad mini-sized inner display. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has described it as the "most significant overhaul in the iPhone's history."Achieving that ultra-thin form factor comes with tradeoffs, and the iPhone Ultra will be missing several features that iPhone users have come to expect, in some ways echoing the compromises Apple made with the iPhone Air. The iPhone Air went without stereo speakers, a SIM card slot, and multiple rear cameras to achieve its 5.6mm frame; the iPhone Ultra faces similar constraints at an even more demanding 4.5mm. The ultra-thin chassis leaves no room for a triple-lens camera setup, so the telephoto lens found on iPhone Pro models is absent, leaving just a dual 48-megapixel rear system. More significantly, there is no space for the TrueDepth sensor array required for Face ID, meaning the iPhone Ultra will rely on a side-button Touch ID module instead.Under the hood, the iPhone Ultra is expected to feature Apple's A20 chip paired with 12GB of RAM. Storage options are said to include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. Battery capacity is reportedly in the 5,400mAh to 5,800mAh range, which would put it among the largest ever in an iPhone despite its slim dimensions.The scale of Apple's production ambitions for the iPhone Ultra has already been tempered by manufacturing realities. Kuo initially indicated Apple placed orders for 15 to 20 million total foldable iPhones, though he noted demand would likely be limited due to the device's cost. By December, Kuo warned that early-stage yield and ramp-up challenges could mean smooth shipments may not occur until 2027, with potential shortages lasting through at least the end of 2026.The high asking price is expected to be a further constraint on volume: IDC projects the device will capture over 22% unit share of the foldables market in its first year, but that market remains a niche segment overall. The iPhone Air's underwhelming sales performance, with Kuo reporting suppliers cut production capacity by more than 80% after demand fell short of expectations, may serve as a cautionary tale for premium iPhone form-factor experiments.
Puntata registrata in extremis a 10 minuti dalla pubblicazione! Nessun taglio, solo un flusso di coscienza sulla nuova, presunta e (forse) folle strategia di Apple. Se un Apple Watch Ultra o un iPhone Ultra (pieghevole) hanno senso, che senso ha un "MacBook Ultra"? I rumor parlano di un nuovo livello top di gamma con display OLED, touchscreen e Face ID a prezzi esorbitanti. Analizziamo perché questa scelta rischia di frammentare inutilmente la perfetta line-up attuale (Neo, Air, Pro) e di ritardare l'arrivo delle vere innovazioni sui computer di fascia media. Speriamo che Gurman stavolta si sbagli...L'articolo del Post sui video fatti con gli occhiali MetaVisita Digiteee e scopri tutte le notizie sulla tecnologiaSegui Digiteee su TikTokDimmi la tua su Twitter, su Threads, su Telegram, su Mastodon, su BlueSky o su Instagram.Mail jacoporeale@yahoo.it Scopri dove ascoltare il podcast e lascia una recensione su Apple Podcast o Spotify.Ascolta An iPad guy su YouTube Podcast.Supporta il podcast

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through everything the iPhone 18 Pro will feature, according to the latest rumors. Following last year's major redesign, the iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to feature a very similar design to their predecessors. There is expected to be a smaller Dynamic Island, with Face ID's flood illuminator component moved under the screen to reduce the cutout's size. It is rumored to be approximately 35% narrower than the iPhone 17 Pro's, shrinking from around 20.7mm to 13.5mm. The Pro Max will be slightly thicker than its predecessor, rising to around 8.8mm and over 240 grams to accommodate a larger battery of 5,100 to 5,200 mAh, up from the iPhone 17 Pro Max's 5,088 mAh.The rear will see a slight design shift as well. Apple is reportedly dropping the two-tone look found on iPhone 17 Pro models in favor of a more seamless aesthetic, with improved alignment between the Ceramic Shield back glass and the aluminum frame. The devices are also expected to come in a special red color.The camera system will undergo more substantial changes. Both Pro models' main 48-megapixel Fusion camera are rumored to feature variable aperture, which would allow users to control the lens opening to manage light intake and depth of field. The aperture would function similarly to a DSLR camera, giving photographers greater control over focus sharpness and background blur in different lighting conditions. Additionally, Samsung is developing a new three-layer sensor for the iPhone 18 Pro, designed to reduce noise, improve dynamic range, and enhance camera responsiveness compared to Sony's current sensors.The Camera Control button is also getting a simplification. Rather than supporting both capacitive touch gestures and pressure sensing as on the iPhone 17, the iPhone 18 will rely on pressure sensing alone, reducing manufacturing complexity and the cost of repairs, while improving ease of use. The A20 Pro chip will mark Apple's debut of a 2-nanometer processor, with a reportedly 15% speed increase and about 30% better power efficiency compared to the A19 Pro. The chip will use TSMC's Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Moduletechnology, integrating RAM directly onto the same wafer as the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine rather than mounting it separately, which should improve performance and battery life while reducing the physical footprint of the chip.The iPhone 18 Pro models will also feature Apple's C2 modem, which is expected to bring faster speeds, improved power efficiency, and support for mmWave 5G in the United States, a capability absent from the C1 and C1X modems used in earlier iPhones. Other upgrades include Apple's N2 wireless chip and 5G satellite internet.The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to launch in September 2026, with the standard iPhone 18 and the lower-end iPhone 18e following in spring 2027. A foldable iPhone is also expected to debut alongside the Pro models in the fall.
Bienvenidos a un nuevo APPLEaks con TODO sobre el futuro de Apple: cambios radicales en producción, iPhone plegable, productos Ultra, línea NEO y el 50 aniversario. Arrancamos fuerte: 1 de cada 4 iPhones ya se produce en India. Apple se aleja de China y se viene producción en territorio americano. Además, Apple está probando impresión 3D de aluminio para iPhone y Apple Watch: bajan costos, usan aluminio reciclado y mejoran el diseño. iPhone plegable confirmado: ya empezó la producción y saldría este año en septiembre. Por eso NO habrá iPhone 18 estándar, solo 18 Pro y 18 Pro Max + el iPhone Fold. Tendrá multitarea como iPad y posiblemente se llame "iPhone Ultra" siguiendo la lógica de nombres actuales. Productos Ultra: nueva categoría de alta gama. MacBook Pro Ultra con procesador M6, pantalla táctil, isla dinámica y panel exclusivo. El M6 llegaría primero a esta línea. Productos NEO: la revolución de Apple. MacBook NEO con 8GB RAM (ojalá 12GB próximamente), puerto USB 2.0, pero diseño reparable (iFixit le dio la mejor calificación en 14 años). Precios: $399 regular, $299 para estudiantes. Se viene línea completa: iPhone NEO, iPad NEO, Mac NEO, iMac NEO, Mac Mini NEO. Esto destruye el mercado de entrada. iPhone 18 Pro: isla dinámica más pequeña, Face ID bajo píxeles activos, mejor batería, sensores de cámara superiores, Always On Display mejorado y mayor eficiencia energética. 50 aniversario de Apple (1 de abril): Tim Cook adelantó celebraciones masivas. Se viene libro "The First Fifty", eventos especiales, nueva categoría Ultra, productos de edición limitada con logo Rainbow del Apple II. Rumores de iPod edición limitada (20-40 millones de unidades escala Apple). Tim Cook se retiraría: después de llevar Apple de $350 millones a $4 trillones, daría un paso al costado. Jony Ive ya se fue, ahora manda Jeff Williams (quien trajo de vuelta MagSafe, puertos USB y todo lo que Johnny había sacado). Se viene sangre nueva. La cara del futuro: rumores indican que el personaje Finder Guy (el muchachito del Finder) sería la imagen visible del asistente de IA de Apple. Recuerda a Clippy de Microsoft. ¿Te gusta la idea?

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with Andrew Leggett, Director of Cybersecurity at DelCor, and Chris Ecker, Chief Technology Officer at DelCor, to unpack two critical cybersecurity topics every association and nonprofit should be thinking about right now: phishing‑resistant MFA and preparing your Microsoft 365 environment for Copilot. They discuss why passkeys truly improve the user experience, how oversharing in Microsoft 365 creates risk, and what steps organizations must take before deploying AI tools. This conversation is packed with practical guidance leaders can act on immediately.Themes and Topics:Why It's Time to Level Up Your MFATraditional MFA isn't enough anymore with modern phishing attacks. FIDO2 passkeys make logging in easier for your staff, not harder.Passkeys Are Way Simpler Than Passwords (Really!)A short PIN or FaceID is more secure than a long, complex password.Your device's TPM chip keeps those credentials locked down safely.How Modern Phishing Tricks Users, and What Stops ItAttackers now steal MFA approvals and ride along on active sessions. Phishing-resistant MFA shuts the door on those token-harvesting scams.Before You Turn on Copilot, Fix How Your Association Shares FilesYears of sharing files without guidelines or guardrails can create hidden risks.Copilot can surface any file users have access to, even old oversharing.Why 365 Sharing Settings Matter More Than EverUsers must run their own OneDrive reports (admins can't see it all).SharePoint tools help find where HR, finance, or executive docs may be exposed.Leadership Buy‑In Makes or Breaks These UpgradesChange management matters, especially if the C‑suite wants exceptions. Passkeys also offer a chance to simplify tools and retire extras like Duo.
AI in customer experience, fraud prevention, and back-office operations is moving fast in banking and financial services, and the firms that fall behind risk losing both customers and competitive ground. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, sits down with Mamta Rodrigues, Chief Client Officer of Banking, Financial Services and Insurance at TP, one of the largest employers in the world with over 500,000 people globally. Mamta brings decades of hands-on experience across American Express, MasterCard, Visa, and Synchrony, and she holds a patent, a signal that she has spent real time building products, not just advising on them. The conversation covers practical AI use cases in fraud, collections, and compliance, along with what separates clients who get results from those who stall out after a pilot.The pressure on banks and fintechs right now comes from two directions at once. Consumer expectations keep rising because people interact with payment products every single day. At the same time, fraud is accelerating. Every time the industry catches up, fraudsters adapt faster and the cycle resets. That means fraud teams, product teams, and customer experience teams are all fighting for resources and attention at the same time. For treasury managers, CFOs, and compliance leaders, this creates a real tension: how do you invest in AI-powered fraud prevention and still deliver a smooth experience that keeps customers loyal?The numbers from inside TP's client work tell a clear story. Fifty percent of TP's solutions are now AI-led, with the heaviest concentration in back-office operations like fraud, financial crime, and claims management. Mamta describes a recent deployment of TP's AI blueprint, tp.ai fab, layered into an existing client's operations to prevent and predict fraud. The results showed significant improvement in key metrics. On the collections side, predictive analysis now arms agents before a call even starts with propensity to pay, likely timing, expected recovery percentage, and recommended remediation paths. That kind of preparation changes the entire tone of a collections interaction from adversarial to solution-oriented, and the outcome is measurable: increased repayment, stronger loyalty, product expansion, and reduced breakage.One of the clearest signals Mamta uses to gauge whether a client will actually get results versus abandon the effort after a test: the composition of who shows up. When the cross-functional team walks through the door, operations, product, IT, and data leaders together, that's when real progress happens. She describes a design thinking approach where the client provides a problem statement in advance, both sides bring the right people, and in a single day they can shape a solution direction. The typical pattern is that they start with one problem statement and end the session with additional problem statements and new opportunities they had not considered. Clients who send a single department to "explore AI" without bringing the other stakeholders rarely make it past the pilot stage.Looking three to five years out, Mamta expects advanced AI and predictive analytics to fundamentally reshape how customer experience operates, powered by stronger data foundations and more mature tech stacks. She predicts continued growth in AI-led back-office solutions, deeper fraud protection capabilities, and a rising focus on elevating talent rather than replacing it. The human factor, she says, will always remain because both the customers and the agents serving them are still people. Her single piece of advice to fintech executives and founders: "Be comfortable with the uncomfortable." The firms that try, pivot, learn, and avoid the belief that they already know everything will be the ones that pull ahead.Key HighlightsFraud Signals Your Phone RevealsEvery mobile transaction generates thousands of hidden data points including gyroscope movement, touch pressure patterns, key press timing, and screen angle behavior that machine learning models use to verify identity. IP address matching combined with geolocation checks can confirm whether the person making a payment is physically located where their device says they are, adding layers of fraud protection most consumers never realize exist.Automation Is Not Replacing AgentsTP proposes automation first in every client engagement, yet the goal is augmenting agent performance through AI-powered training, quality assurance, and workforce management tools. Mundane tasks like balance inquiries have already moved to apps, while new roles in data analysis, predictive modeling, financial crime investigation, and fraud prevention are growing faster than the positions being phased out.Consumer Behavior Now Drives FintechBanking and payments typically lead BFSI adoption cycles because consumers transact with payment products daily, while insurance interactions are infrequent and purpose-driven. That frequency gap means consumer expectations hit banking and fintech firms first, forcing faster response times and creating pressure that insurance companies eventually absorb as a fast follower.Living On Cash Taught Product ThinkingOne of the sharpest product leadership lessons came from spending an entire month using only cash, no cards, no checks, no electronic payments, to understand what consumers actually experience when they lack access to modern payment tools. That hands-on immersion shaped a framework for understanding customer pain points from the inside out, a method still applied today when onboarding new clients by finding internal employees who already use the client's products.The Real Meaning Of DataThe phrase "so what of the data" reframes the entire conversation around why raw data collection means nothing without a clear connection to personalization, spend analysis, and predictive outcomes. Combining multiple data sources with analytics can reveal buying power, transaction patterns, location behavior, and propensity to pay, turning passive information into active intelligence that drives customer engagement and retention.Storytelling Aligns Stakeholders FasterComplex enterprise sales involving operations, product, and executive teams require more than technical specs to move forward, and framing solutions around a clear North Star with a human impact story accelerates buy-in. Using a collections call as an example, the narrative centers on saving a customer relationship rather than recovering a balance, which reframes cost of acquisition against breakage and makes the ROI case emotionally and financially persuasive.Banks Now Seek Outside PerspectiveA year ago, most banking clients told TP they would solve AI and CX challenges internally within their own teams and systems. In the last twelve months, that posture has shifted sharply toward requesting peer group insights, consortium-style knowledge sharing across 350+ global BFSI clients, and collaborative problem solving that treats the current wave of change as an industry-wide learning curve.Culture Shapes Customer Experience StrategyThree years of living and working in India reinforced that cultural context directly affects how customers respond to service interactions, communication styles, and engagement approaches across different regions. Global CX strategies that ignore cultural layers risk delivering a technically sound but emotionally flat experience, which is why regional adaptation matters as much as the tech stack powering the interaction.Hidden Fraud Detection Through BiometricsBeyond standard two-factor and three-factor authentication, financial services firms are now layering behavioral biometrics that track how a person physically handles their device during a transaction. Screen touch patterns, movement signatures, and Face ID verification create a composite identity profile that runs silently behind every interaction, catching anomalies that traditional password-based security would miss entirely.Meeting People Where They AreCross-functional leadership across global teams starts with something as simple as asking a new direct report which communication channel they prefer, whether that is Viber, WhatsApp, text, or another platform. That small signal of respect sets the tone for a people-first management approach where multiple perspectives are actively solicited, because the operating principle is that one brain is never as effective as seven or eight working together.Five Key Takeaways1️⃣ Bring Cross-Functional Teams To Every PilotSending one department to evaluate AI or data analytics tools is how pilots die quietly after 90 days. Get your operations lead, product owner, IT or data leader, and digital officer in the same room with one shared problem statement before you commit budget. That combination forces the real blockers to surface early, things like legacy system constraints, rule adjustments, and use case selection, so you can design around them instead of discovering them after you have already spent the money.2️⃣ Use Your Own Products Before SellingThe fastest way to understand a customer's pain is to become one. Before pitching a solution or onboarding a new client, find people inside your own organization who already use that client's product and pull them into the conversation. You will learn more about friction points, feature gaps, and real user behavior in one week of hands-on product use than in six months of reading market research decks.3️⃣ Arm...

January 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks… Covers the world's most sustainable companies, cleantech and renewable energy stocks, and more. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 163, January 23, 2026 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 163, published on January 23, 2025, titled "January 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks." This podcast is presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your go-to site for vital global, ethical, and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a huge crop of 24 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Some companies are covered more than once. Now with so many articles to potentially cover, I've chosen 6 to quote from. The other 18 can be found with their titles and links on the webpage for this podcast edition. ------------------------------------------------------------- The 2026 Global 100 list puts speed in the spotlight The first article I'm quoting from is hot off the press and is about one of my favourite company rankings! It's titled The 2026 Global 100 list puts speed in the spotlight on corporateknights.com. The introduction is by Tristan Bronca. Here's some of what he says. "As the global economic transition accelerates, more companies are recognizing that sustainability isn't just good marketing – it's good for business, too… This was the animating spirit of the new methodology behind the Corporate Knights Global 100 ranking. The revised methodology introduces 'sustainable revenue momentum' to measure how fast companies are growing their sustainable revenues. A change of method Last year, sustainable revenues and investments together accounted for 50% of the score, and the other 50% was scored across 22 common environmental, governance and social performance indicators (KPIs) such as water use, emissions, workplace fatalities, and diversity on the board and among executives. The change has reordered the deck in a big way… A dramatic departure? 'In terms of performance, the G100 companies are back in top form, beating the benchmark MSCI AWCI index over the past year,' Toby Heaps says, referring to a stock market index of 85% of global investable equities across almost 50 countries." End quotes. Incidentally, the top five companies are ERG SpA (ERG.MI), Pandora A/S (PNDORA.CO), EDP Renováveis SA (EDP.LS), Fluence Energy, Inc. (FLNC), and Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. (2633.TW). ------------------------------------------------------------ Top 4 Clean Tech Companies to Watch in 2026 This next article brings us back to highly familiar territory. It's titled Top 4 Clean Tech Companies to Watch in 2026 on carboncredits.com and is by Jennifer L. Here are some brief quotes. "1. NextEra Energy (NEE) is the largest clean energy company in the world. It owns and operates wind farms, solar fields, and battery storage systems across the United States… NextEra has also increased its dividend for more than 26 years in a row. 2. First Solar (FSLR) is one of the top makers of solar panels worldwide. It uses a technology called thin‑film photovoltaic modules. These panels are lighter, use fewer raw materials, and often perform better in hot climates compared to traditional silicon panels. The company builds large solar power plants that send power to utilities and corporate customers… Financially, First Solar is a strong player. Its market cap was around $24 billion in 2025, and it has shown double‑digit revenue growth. 3. Bloom Energy (BE) makes a special type of power generator called a solid‑oxide fuel cell. These units produce electricity efficiently and with low emissions. Customers include data centers, large buildings, and industrial sites that need reliable power without high carbon output. Bloom's fuel cells can run on hydrogen or biogas, which makes them flexible for future clean energy systems… Premium financial news reported that its stock jumped more than 410 % in 2025 after strong earnings results. 4. Plug Power (PLUG) focuses on hydrogen fuel cell systems. Its products are designed to replace traditional batteries and fossil fuels in heavy equipment, forklifts, and industrial vehicles. The company is also building hydrogen production and fueling infrastructure across North America and Europe. This supports a broader 'green hydrogen' economy… Plug Power has faced financial challenges, including consistent net losses and stock price volatility… Its long‑term growth story depends on hydrogen demand and policy support worldwide." End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3 ESG Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio for Sustainable Returns in 2026 - December 30, 2025 The third article I've chosen to quote from is titled 3 ESG Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio for Sustainable Returns in 2026 - December 30, 2025 on zacks.com. It's By Aniruddha Ganguly. Now, some quotes from the article. "1. NVIDIA (NVDA) achieved 100% renewable electricity for all its global offices and controlled data centers in fiscal 2025. This Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) company targets to reduce direct emissions by 50% for operations (Scope 1) and electricity consumption (Scope 2) by 2030… The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2026 increased a couple of cents to $4.66 per share, indicating 55.9% growth from the figure reported in fiscal 2025. (NVDA - Free Report). 2.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings has been steady at $14.42 per share, indicating 11.7% growth from the 2025 consensus estimate figure of $12.93 per share. (IDXX - Free Report). 3.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2026 increased a couple of cents to $15.61 per share, indicating 14.4% growth from the figure reported in fiscal 2025. (MSFT - Free Report)."

End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top Wind Energy Stocks Poised to Benefit From Clean Energy Transition My fifth article is titled Top Wind Energy Stocks Poised to Benefit From Clean Energy Transition on finance.yahoo.com. It's by Avisekh Bhattacharjee and originally published on zacks.com. In the US, the wind industry could be gaining ground despite President Trump's protestations. Here are some quotes from the article. "1. NextEra Energy (NEE) is a public utility holding company engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy.

End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- AI infrastructure stocks Lumentum, Celestica, Seagate beat Nvidia 2025 My final review article covers some old favourites. Its title is AI infrastructure stocks Lumentum, Celestica, Seagate beat Nvidia 2025 on cnbc.com. It's by Kif Leswing. Here are some brief quotes. 1. Nvidia has been the biggest infrastructure winner in the artificial intelligence boom, soaring in value by almost thirteenfold since the end of 2022 to a market cap of $4.6 trillion. 2. Lumentum based in San Jose, California, makes switches, transceivers and other optical laser-based parts that are needed for fiber-optic cables. Customers have typically been telecommunications carriers and device makers like Apple, which previously used Lumentum parts in its FaceID sensor… Lumentum's stock price has jumped 372% this year… lifting the company's market cap past $28 billion. Sales surged 58% in the most recent quarter from a year earlier to $533 million. 3. Western Digital is one of three major hard drive manufacturers, along with Seagate and Toshiba. Shares of the 55-year-old company are up almost 300% this year… 'Data is the fuel that powers AI, and it is HDDs that provide the most reliable, scalable and cost-effective data storage solution,' CEO Irving Tan said in October on an earnings call… Revenue is expected to increase about 23% in fiscal 2026, with growth slowing to 13% in 2027. 4. Micron is one of three major memory producers, alongside Samsung and SK Hynix, but the only one based in the U.S… Analysts from Morgan Stanley said in a December note that Micron's results showed the best revenue and profit upside in the 'history of the U.S. semis industry' — aside from Nvidia. Revenue is expected to almost double in the year ending in August, before dramatically slowing to 24% in fiscal 2027 and less than 1% in 2028, according to LSEG. 5. Seagate is also benefiting from booming demand for storage. The stock is up 231% this year. Sales rose 21% to $2.63 billion in the company's fiscal third quarter, which ended Oct. 3. The company said at the time that 80% of its sales go to the data center market. 'There is no question that AI is reshaping hard drive demand by elevating the economic value of data and data storage,' CEO Dave Mosley said on a call with analysts… Analysts expect 21% revenue growth this fiscal year, followed by increases of about 15% and 6% in the next two years, according to LSEG. 6. Celestica founded in 1994 as an IBM subsidiary, makes switches that connect networks together and manage the data and traffic flowing through them. The stock is up more than 230% this year… Analysts at Goldman Sachs wrote in a note Friday that Celestica supplies parts for Google's ASIC. 'The company should benefit in 2026 from being the leading provider of Google TPU rack level solutions,' the analysts wrote."

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through all of the new features and improvements expected to come to next year's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models. Apple's next-generation iPhones are less than a year away and we already have a good idea about what to expect based on corroborated leaks, rumors, and reports from reliable sources. While the overall design of the iPhone 18 Pro is expected to remain largely the same as that of the iPhone 17 Pro, it could feature translucent or color-matched rear glass, as well as a thicker design to accommodate a bigger battery. Apple is rumored to be testing at least three new color options for the iPhone 18 Pro models, including burgundy, brown, and purple, but only one of these is expected to be carried forward to production. The front of the device is expected to see Face ID moved under the display for the first time, resulting in a smaller Dynamic Island and potentially a left-aligned punch-hole camera. The front-facing camera is also expected to see a bump up to 24-megapixels. The main rear camera could receive a new three-stack image sensor from Samsung and it is highly likely to get a variable aperture. A variable-aperture system physically adjusts the lens opening, letting more light in for low-light shots or narrowing the opening for brighter scenes and deeper depth of field. Apple is also expected to "simplify" the Camera Control by removing its capacitive functions, moving it to rely on pressure alone. It should also sport the A20 Pro chip, which will be Apple's first based on TSMC's 2nm process for enhanced performance and efficiency. A custom "C2" chip is expected to displace Qualcomm's 5G modem, with support for mmWave 5G in the United States. In addition, Apple apparently plans to add support for 5G networks that operate via satellites rather than Earth-based towers. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to debut in the fall of 2026 alongside the first foldable iPhone. The iPhone 18e, iPhone 18, and iPhone Air 2 are likely to follow in the spring of 2027.
