There’s a serious issue that impacts hundreds of millions of Android Messages users worldwide—one that should have been flagged by the huge backlash that suddenly hit WhatsApp in January. But it wasn’t, it gets surprisingly little attention, even though it puts you and your private information at risk. Here’s what you need to know. Android Messages has serious security issues. Getty Great news for Android Messages users this week—you can now schedule texts to automatically send some time later, which, Google says, “will continue improving the way you communicate and help you stay in touch.” According to Google, “half a billion people across the world use Messages to seamlessly and safely connect with family, friends and others every month.” Seamlessly yes. But safely? Maybe not. From almost nowhere, 2021 has seen a belated and welcome focus on the security and privacy—or lack thereof—with the messaging apps we all use daily. WhatsApp has been slammed for the breadth of its data collection and for its back-end links to owner Facebook. Messenger has been outed for various security and privacy infringements. And iMessage has been lauded for further advancements to protect Apple’s userbase. One platform that has seemingly escaped such attention is Google’s Android Messages, which is…

Videos are a significant part of our daily content consumption. From cat videos to motivational videos and even educational content, most content creators these days prefer to release their work in video format instead of written content. Content creators can express their thoughts better while on videos than writing them down as a post. Moreover, it is also easier for the audience to understand what the creator is trying to convey, without spending much time or feeling bored. Online video streaming platforms like YouTube and Vimeo plays an important role in allowing us to find & consume our favorite type of videos. Just to put things into perspective, over 300 hours of video content is uploaded to YouTube each minute! Also, over 5 billion videos are streamed on YouTube each day!

If you are using an Apple computer or laptop running the Mac operating system, then the VideoDuke Video…

The world's largest online professional network LinkedIn says professionals in India are confident about career progress despite growing uncertainties about the job market and financial future in the current environment. Nearly 80% professionals are confident about skilling opportunities while 79% are confident about the strength of their curriculum vitaes, according to its workforce confidence index, which was based on survey responses from 1,752 professionals during January 1 to 29. However, the index shows a dip in India's overall confidence as the composite score dropped from 58 in December 2020 to 54 in January 2021. The survey attributes dip in optimism to the workforce's growing concerns about the status of Covid-19 pandemic, surmounting expenses and job availability in the present economic climate. This professional uncertainty comes right after the year-end holiday season when India's hiring rate dropped to 17% year-over-year in December 2020, according to LinkedIn's labour market update. While the job market looks bleak, entrepreneurship looked up for Indian professionals last year. The labour market update highlights the rise of entrepreneurship in India as findings show a 10% growth in members with the title 'founders' or 'co-founder on their profiles from January to December 2020 on LinkedIn. This uptick in…

Boris Johnson isn’t the most popular Conservative. That accolade goes to Rishi Sunak, who is the bookies’ favourite to become the next prime minister.Sunak – a virtual unknown outside the Westminster bubble until he was appointed chancellor just over a year ago – has built his popularity through social media, catchy soundbites and always looking on-point whether he is wearing a tailored suit or a WFH grey hoodie. Next week he will deliver potentially the most important budget since the second world war.Most politicians probably think a meme is a misspelt memo. Not Sunak. The 40-year-old’s use of social media has become a trademark – though it does not always go according to plan.His use of the How it started … How it’s going meme to celebrated his first anniversary as chancellor is a case in point.“Growing up I never thought I would be in this job (mainly because I wanted to be a Jedi),” he wrote on Twitter and Instagram. “It’s been incredibly tough but thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.”Using a #NotRagsToRiches hashtag, opponents pointed out Sunak had missed out a few key biographical details.Zarah Sultana, the Labour MP for Coventry South, tweeted:…
