How to livestream, for dummies

in DTWC Magazine

I’ve been helping out my community newspaper, the Easy Reader, to live stream local news events lately, namely city council and school board candidate debates, and I marvel at how simple the process has gotten.

So much so, I thought I’d relay the process for you. Maybe your place of worship will ask you to live stream their events, or you’ll be called into duty during election season to broadcast from the Rotary Club or local high school.

At its core, all you need is a phone. That’s fine if it’s you talking into the camera, or comfortable with what looks like basic security camera footage of an event, but if there’s more involved, like needing to zooming in on people as they speak from across the room, you’ll want a mirrorless or DSLR camera with a good lens. Add to that a laptop, USB-C to USC-C cable and possibly a subscription to a streaming software platform like Streamyard. And a microphone for better sound. Ahem, and good internet. That’s it.

Let’s run down the process.

A good portable computer will do the trick. I use an Apple MacBook Pro. Windows computers will do just fine as well.

I ditched my Garmin for the Apple Watch Ultra — here’s what happened

in DTWC Magazine

As a fitness editor, I have to be impartial when it comes to the best running watches and best fitness trackers. As a runner, I don’t.

Before I did our Apple Watch Ultra review, I used to alternate between my Garmin Fenix 7 or my Garmin Forerunner 955 for tracking my training runs (I’d often forget to charge them, so I’d take out whichever had more battery) and my Apple Watch 7 during the rest of the day.

I never loved or trusted the Apple Watch 7 on my run, hence the Garmin, but as someone who quickly became addicted to closing those damned rings, I’d swap back to the Apple Watch once I got back from my run. That is, until now.

I really believe that the Apple Watch Ultra was designed for runners like me. I run at least five mornings a week; I walk the dog for two hours a day; and I do the odd Peloton or strength training class in between.

I’m by no means an athlete — you won’t find me training for an ultramarathon or going out on multi-day adventures anytime soon, and if I do go out on a longer hike, I’ll stick to the beaten track (sorry folks, I think I skipped the map reading, orientation PE lesson at school).

Researchers disclose new zero-day Microsoft Exchange vulnerability

in DTWC Magazine

A troubling new vulnerability affecting Microsoft Exchange email servers has been disclosed by researchers, though details are still emerging on the severity and exploitability of the flaw.

The vulnerability, disclosed by researchers at cybersecurity vendor GTSC, could enable remote execution of commands on a compromised server, according to the company. It appears to be a "zero-day" vulnerability, which means it was not disclosed to the software vendor before spreading in the wild and before a patch could be created.

Trend Micro said Thursday that the vulnerability was submitted to Microsoft via its Zero Day Initiative program. Protocol has reached out to Microsoft for comment.

Researcher Kevin Beaumont, who was among the first to discuss GTSC's findings in a series of tweets Thursday, said he is aware of the vulnerability being "actively exploited in the wild" and that he "can confirm significant numbers of Exchange servers have been backdoored."

Remote code execution vulnerabilities are considered a serious security risk due to the potential for attackers to take full control of a compromised system. Log4Shell, a critical vulnerability that was discovered in the Apache Log4j logging software component in December 2021, fell into the category of a remote code execution flaw.

These are the 10 safest countries for digital nomads—and the U.S. isn't one of them

in DTWC Magazine

As the digital nomad movement remains popular, remote workers around the world continue to seek out new places to call home.

Lemon.io, a marketplace of software developers, analyzed data from the 2022 Global Peace Index by the Economist Intelligence Unit to determine the safest countries that offer digital nomad visas.

The study ranked 163 countries according to the following categories: level of societal safety and security, the extent of ongoing domestic and international conflict, and the degree of militarization.

No. 1 safest country for digital nomads: Iceland

Iceland topped the list as the safest country — a position it has held since 2008.

According to Iceland's Directorate of Immigration, the country's digital nomad visa is referred to as a long-term remote work visa. It allows holders to live there for about six months.

Ireland fines Instagram €405 million over protection of children's data

in DTWC Magazine

Ireland's data privacy regulator is slapping Instagram with a fine of €405 million after an investigation found the social media platform mishandled teenagers' personal information in violation of strict European Union data privacy rules.

Instagram plans to appeal against the fine, a spokesperson for parent company Meta Platforms Inc said in an emailed statement.

The investigation, which started in 2020, focused on how Instagram displayed the personal details of users ages 13 to 17, including email addresses and phone numbers. The minimum age for Instagram users is 13.

The investigation began after a data scientist found that users, including those under 18, were switching to business accounts and had their contact information displayed on their profiles.

Users were apparently doing it to see statistics on how many likes their posts were getting after Instagram started removing the feature from personal accounts in some countries to help with mental health.

How much a TikToker with about 20,000 followers earns from sponsored posts and how she sets her rates

in DTWC Magazine

Setting rates as a micro influencer can be tricky, with many creators undervaluing their work.Lillian Zhang, a TikTok creator with 20,000 followers, was determined to not undersell herself.Here's the formula she uses to set rates for sponsored content and UGC, and how she came to it.

For many micro influencers who are just starting to partner with brands, it can be hard to figure out what rates to charge for sponsored content.

The creator industry has surged in the past few years, with influencer-marketing spend in the US set to surpass $4 billion by the end of the year. And influencers with a following of between 10,000 and 50,000 have seen a 1,291% increase in average payment per post.

But the chances of a creator undervaluing their work when starting out are still high, because of a relative lack of experience and knowledge of the industry.

Lillian Zhang, a TikTok creator who posts college and early-career job advice content, knew from the get-go that she wanted to be compensated properly for her work, and would not settle for low rates.

Zhang, who has about 21,400 followers on TikTok, started posting consistently on the platform in January 2022.

120 Texting Abbreviations & Acronyms To Understand Internet Slang

in DTWC Magazine

The only reason I know that I'm still culturally relevant at my age is the fact that I mainly know all of the texting abbreviations and Internet acronyms people use on Reddit, through texting, and across social media.

Sure, anyone with an internet connection can open a site up and snoop around as much as they want, but it takes a hip and socially "with it" person to actually navigate the oddly nerdy/geeky terrain, and interact with the people who spend their time there.

The regulars have their own little world going on, and if you want to become a part of that world so you don't feel totally strange when you ask a question or comment on a thread, it's important to learn how to speak their native language.

Sure, you may already know what TTYL (talk to you later) and BRB (be right back) means, but those two probably won't help you very much now. Like, even a little. Or at all, even.

How to recall an email in Outlook

in DTWC Magazine

Image: Shutterstock

We've all felt the fear of sending an email too early, without the proper attachment, or to the completely wrong person, and then having to quickly craft an anxious email with a creative excuse -- or simply succumb to embarrassment.

Microsoft Outlook is one of the few email platforms that allow you to recall emails. With this feature, you won't have to feel as fearful of your Monday brain and can move on with your week mistake-free.

It's important to address a few feature requirements and caveats. First, for the recall and resend feature to work:

Both you and your recipient must have Microsoft Outlook email addresses.The email can only be recalled if it was not read or opened by the recipient.The permanent recall feature is only available on a PC. Mac users will have to resort to the Undo toggle, which gives you up to a 10-second grace period to edit or rescind an email after sending it. I'll explain how to do that later in the article.

With that said, keeping in mind when you can use it, it's a great feature.

Reasons why I left Instagram for Flipboard and Vero

in DTWC Magazine

Instagram has been a huge part of my life for the past 10 or more years. I've been using it to capture moments and connect with friends and family. But recently, their changes have made it difficult for me to use the app how I want. So I decided to move over to another app called Vero, which offers more control and privacy than Instagram. It's also much more aesthetically pleasing. Plus, I like the fact that it now allows me to have multiple "stories" per day instead of just one. Now I can post photos, videos, articles, and even music! I also enjoy the fact that I can follow other accounts on Vero as well. Finally, I found an app that lets me share the things I'm passionate about without feeling like it's taking over my life!

When I signed up for an Instagram a long. I never thought it would one day become my main source of entertainment and information. It has allowed me to connect with others who share similar interests, but it's also introduced me to many new things that I would have never known about otherwise. It has allowed me to see the world through someone else's eyes, which is something I've never been able to do before.

But all of that is changing now thanks to recent changes to Instagram's policies. These have made it difficult for me to express my opinions and connect with people how I want to.

Endless algorithm updates, favouring short form over long-form content, constant changes to the interface, and increasing pressure to lean into short-form video content -
Long story short is I’m TIRED of it.

And now that I've discovered another app that allows me to post what I want without censoring my content, it feels like a breath of fresh air. I'm much happier now that I'm using Vero instead of Instagram!

How Web3 Will Change Marketing Landscape Forever

in DTWC Magazine

At the beginning of the Internet, users relied on multiple software and services to accomplish a single task. To play a video game, you had to purchase an online game and connect with your friends via IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and Ventrollo. This is Web1 — a decentralized platform operating in a pluralistic framework. Now, all of the tasks mentioned can be accomplished on Twitch and Discord — this is Web2. Web2 enabled giants like Meta and Alphabet to consolidate crucial auxiliary objectives such as gaining followers, sharing updates, promoting products, and building an online persona into a single website/application.

Welcome to Web3

Web3, also known as 'the new internet' is a term used for a brand new rendition of the internet that presents the option of decentralization. You've surely read and heard about this brand new Internet, but how does Web3 embed into our properties? It's pretty simple: through user behavior.

Although it sounds like a succession — something like 3G, 4G, and 5G — Web3 is not an upgrade from Web2. Instead, it exists simultaneously and is supported by the Web2 frameworks. You don't have to upgrade from Web3 to Web3.

10 top cybersecurity online courses and certifications in 2022

in DTWC Magazine

Were you unable to attend Transform 2022? Check out all of the summit sessions in our on-demand library now! Watch here.

In the face of an unprecedented number of cyberattacks, phishing emails and ransomware incursions, people who possess the right cybersecurity certifications and experience are in high demand. Salaries are skyrocketing due to a cybersecurity skills gap of major proportions. Whether due to resignations, retirements, burnout or a desire to quit the corporate treadmill, there is a real shortage of talent out there.

That shortage is being felt across the IT landscape. The 2021 Skillsoft IT Skills and Salary Report found that 76% of IT decision-makers face critical skills gaps in their teams, a 145% increase since 2016. Specific to cybersecurity, 92% of respondents to the InfoSec IT and Security Pipeline survey noted significant challenges and delays in filling open cybersecurity positions. If anything, the situation has worsened in 2022. An Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) survey of cybersecurity professionals found that 95% of respondents have seen no improvement in the skills gap over the past few years.

“Companies need to find new ways to attract and retain talent and a reskilling program is one component – such as certifications to document and legitimize skills and knowledge,” said Tom Strong, director of employer activation, National Fund for Workforce Solutions. “Partnering with local academic institutions and other entities such as technical schools and certificate programs could help with the reskilling process.”

This list is an aggregation of a number of cybersecurity career and certification sites, as well as guides to top university programs. Examples of sites include cyberdegrees.org, cybersecurityguide.org and bachelorsdegreecenter.org.

60-second cybersecurity checks: 4 quick steps to protect your PC or Mac

in DTWC Magazine

Kim Komando | Special to USA TODAY

I have to tell you this story. When my college-bound son moved to Los Angeles, he asked me for the house number of a place I rented in the area 28 years ago for two months. I laughed because I couldn’t remember it. Then, I was shocked!

About five minutes later, he texted me a link to a free people search site that showed that house number, along with every other address where I ever lived, my current address, links to my relatives, their ages, my age, and even my personal cellphone number. All this data was not behind a paywall. It took just a search of my name, and bam – privacy was gone.

That’s when I started an initiative on my site to list the exact steps to remove your data from these creepy people search sites. These sites often hide the steps. Don't worry, we did the heavy lifting for you.

Tap or click for a list of 13 creepy sites that probably has your phone number, addresses, age, relatives, and more, along with steps to remove your info. I bet you’ll be surprised at what you see online about you that’s free for the taking. Be sure to bookmark this page so you can reference it later too.
