UK Deal: This Honor Magic 5 Pro price crash defies logic

The Honor Magic 5 Pro represents the pinnacle of Honor’s hardware design in 2023, sporting a curvy design, a top-end display and one of the fastest cameras around – making the fact that it’s heavily discounted at Amazon during Prime Day all the more surprising.

But as surprising as it is, it’s true. The Honor Magic 5 Pro is a steal at its standard RRP of £949.99, but during the Prime Day sales, you can buy the smartphone with 20% off for just £759.05 – a discount of £191. The best part? It’s not exclusive to a single colour option, with the discount available on both the Green and Black finishes.

Of course, as a part of the Prime Day sales, you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber to take advantage of the deal, so you’ll need to sign up for a free trial if you want to pick the phone up at a discount. 

The Honor Magic 5 Pro boasts a high-end smartphone experience that starts with the 6.81-inch OLED display, sporting 120Hz LTPO support, a QHD resolution and advanced features like 2160Hz PMW dimming that makes flicker less notable and, as such, causes less eye strain. 

There’s also the camera setup to consider, with a particularly fast main 50MP lens that’s capable of taking near-instantaneous images of fast-moving subjects with very little blur using a combination of camera hardware and AI processing. That’s flanked by a 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP 3.5x telephoto zoom capable of up to 100x digital zoom, making for a versatile setup.

There’s also the top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset to consider, as well as a large 5100mAh battery and 66W charging that’ll deliver a full charge in under an hour.

We were very impressed with the Honor Magic 5 Pro, giving it 4.5 stars and the Trusted Reviews Recommended award. We praised the unique features like IR-enabled 3D facial recognition, the high-res triple camera setup and the long battery life, especially considering its relatively affordable price tag compared to most top-end flagship competition.

Ron DeSantis Copies Trump’s Campaign Playbook with Dairy Queen Visit – Except No One was There and No One Cares (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

Ron DeSantis

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida appeared to take a page out of former President Trump’s campaign playbook on Friday with a visit to a Dairy Queen in Des Moines, Iowa. However, unlike Trump’s rallies, which drew large crowds, DeSantis’ stop at the ice cream chain drew a muted response.

In an attempt to connect with Iowa voters, DeSantis visited the Dairy Queen at Des Moines, ordered a Blizzard ice cream treat, and answered questions from the few present journalists. His visit seemed a clear nod to a Trump tradition – the former president was known for his fondness for fast-food joints during his campaign tours.

“When you’re here, you got to do a Dairy Queen. And I appreciate Senator Grassley setting that. I’ve known what Blizzards are for a long time. It’s a really important part, and I’m happy to do it. Let’s go,” said DeSantis.

Unlike Trump’s event which was flooded with fans and onlookers, DeSantis’ visit saw a sparse crowd and a lack of the fanfare Trump was renowned for.

Critics have long said that DeSantis is trying too hard to mimic Trump’s successful campaign strategies but without understanding the charisma that made Trump popular among his base. They argue that what worked for Trump may not necessarily work for DeSantis.

Despite the low turnout, DeSantis appeared unfazed when asked about the competitive landscape of the Republican presidential nomination.

He dismissed questions about whether he thought the race was between him and Trump, and whether he was worried about other strong candidates such as Senator Tim Scott.

“Just watch, just watch,” he responded confidently to the first question. Regarding concerns about Senator Scott, he said, “I’m not worried about anything, man. We’ve got a plan.”

MIC DROP: Tucker Carlson Shuts Asa Hutchinson Down with One Question About the Covid Vaccine (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

Tucker Carlson single-handedly destroyed several globalist RINOs during Friday’s presidential primary forum in Iowa.

The former Fox News host interviewed five candidates including Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Mike Pence.

Tucker plucked off the RINO candidates one by one.

It was a sight to behold.

Tucker point blank asked former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson how many Covid vaccines he has taken.

“And how many Covid shots did you take, and how do you feel about it now?” Tucker asked Hutchinson.

Asa Hutchinson didn’t want to answer the question so he tried to turn it around on Tucker.

Bad idea.

“How many Covid shots did you take?” Hutchinson asked Tucker in a gotcha moment.

Without skipping a beat, Tucker replied, “Zero.”

Asa Hutchinson was stunned.

Microsoft takes pains to obscure role in 0-days that caused email breach

Getty Images | Aurich Lawson

On Friday, Microsoft attempted to explain the cause of a breach that gave hackers working for the Chinese government access to the email accounts of 25 organizations—reportedly including the US Departments of State and Commerce and other sensitive organizations.

In a post on Friday, the company indicated that the compromise resulted from three exploited vulnerabilities in either its Exchange Online email service or Azure Active Directory, an identity service that manages single sign-on and multifactor authentication for large organizations. Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence team said that Storm-0558, a China-based hacking outfit that conducts espionage on behalf of that country’s government, exploited them starting on May 15. Microsoft drove out the attackers on June 16 after a customer tipped off company researchers of the intrusion.

Above all else: Avoid the Z-word

In standard parlance among security professionals, this means that Storm-0558 exploited zero-days in the Microsoft cloud services. A “zero-day” is a vulnerability that is known to or exploited by outsiders before the vendor has a patch for it. “Exploit” means using code or other means to trigger a vulnerability in a way that causes harm to the vendor or others.

While both conditions are clearly met in the Storm-0558 intrusion, Friday’s post and two others Microsoft published Tuesday, bend over backward to avoid the words “vulnerability” or “zero-day.” Instead, the company uses considerably more amorphous terms such as “issue,” “error,” and “flaw” when attempting to explain how nation-state hackers tracked the email accounts of some of the company’s biggest customers.

Advertisement

“In-depth analysis of the Exchange Online activity discovered that in fact the actor was forging Azure AD tokens using an acquired Microsoft account (MSA) consumer signing key,” Microsoft researchers wrote Friday. “This was made possible by a validation error in Microsoft code.”

Later in the post, the researchers said that Storm-0558 acquired an inactive signing key used for consumer cloud accounts and somehow managed to use it to forge tokens for Azure AD, a supposedly fortified cloud service that, in effect, stores the keys that thousands of organizations use to manage logins for accounts on both their internal networks and cloud-based ones.

“The method by which the actor acquired the key is a matter of ongoing investigation,” the post stated. “Though the key was intended only for MSA accounts, a validation issue allowed this key to be trusted for signing Azure AD tokens.”

Two paragraphs later, Microsoft said that Storm-0558 used the forged token to gain access to Exchange email accounts through a programming interface for Outlook Web Access (OWA). The researchers wrote:

Once authenticated through a legitimate client flow leveraging the forged token, the threat actor accessed the OWA API to retrieve a token for Exchange Online from the GetAccessTokenForResource API used by OWA. The actor was able to obtain new access tokens by presenting one previously issued from this API due to a design flaw. This flaw in the GetAccessTokenForResourceAPI has since been fixed to only accept tokens issued from Azure AD or MSA respectively. The actor used these tokens to retrieve mail messages from the OWA API.

A plain-English summary of the event would seem to be: Microsoft has patched three vulnerabilities in its cloud service that were discovered after Storm-0558 exploited them to gain access to customer accounts. It would also be helpful if Microsoft provided a tracking designation under the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) system the way other cloud companies do. So why doesn’t Microsoft do the same?

Advertisement

“I don’t think Microsoft ever acknowledges vulnerabilities in their cloud services (also there’s no CVEs for cloud), and you don’t say breach at Microsoft,” independent researcher Kevin Beaumont said on Mastodon. “They did say ‘exploit’ in the original MSRC blog in relation to Microsoft’s cloud services, and you exploit a vulnerability. So I think it’s fair to say that, yes, they had vuln(s).”

Microsoft issued the following comment: “We don’t have any evidence that the actor exploited a 0day.” Microsoft didn’t elaborate. In one of the two posts published on Tuesday, Microsoft said: “The actor exploited a token validation issue to impersonate Azure AD users and gain access to enterprise mail.” Ars has asked for a clarification of exactly what was exploited by the threat actor.

Pay-to-play security

Besides being opaque about the root cause of the breach and its own role in it, Microsoft is under fire for withholding details that some of the victims could have used to detect the intrusion, something critics have called “pay-to-play security.” According to the US Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency, one federal agency that was breached by Storm-0558, it discovered the intrusion through audit logs that track logins and other important events affecting customers’ Microsoft cloud events.

Microsoft, however, requires customers to pay an additional fee to access these records. The cost for an “E5” enterprise license allowing such access is $57 per month per user, compared to an E3 license cost of $36 per month per customer.

“The fact that Microsoft only allows those who pay the extra money for E5 licensing to see the relevant log files is, well, something…” Will Dorman, senior principal analyst at Analygence, said in an interview. “If you’re not an E5-paying customer, you lose the ability to see that you were compromised.”

While Microsoft’s disclosures have been less than forthcoming in the role its vulnerabilities played in breaching the accounts of organizations, Friday’s disclosure provides helpful indicators that people can use to determine if they’ve been targeted or compromised by Storm-0558.

Use this Prime Day deal to upgrade your graphics card on the cheap

MSi’s excellent GeForce 3060 Ti Gaming X Trio graphics card has seen a £105 price cut on Prime Day, giving PC gamers an opportunity to soup-up their setups at a discount. 

For today only, with an Amazon Prime account, you can pick up one of the most refined gaming GPUs on the market for just £345.30, a great deal for a GPU that normally costs £449.99.

There are a lot of positives to be found with the various 3060 Ti models on the market, but MSi’s Gaming X Trio edition may be one of the very best – MSi has worked especially hard on the fans, making sure they provide both optimum cooling and beautifully muted noise levels. 

MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming X Trio graphics card, less than £350

A great GPU at a great price, this deal will score you one of the quietest and most well-cooled GPUs on the market.

AmazonWas £449.99Now £345.30

MSi calls its cooling system TRI FROZR 2 Thermal Design, and it works like a treat with this GPU. The ability of the 3060 Ti Gaming X Trio to distribute cool air throughout the unit is truly impressive, and a system of pipes which distributes heat across the heatsink is also efficient and effective. As mentioned above, the noise level of this GPU is really something – do not expect to hear the fans above any game you load up.

While cooling is vital to a good GPU, so is the performance. MSi has you covered here too, and for the price this GPU performs very well. It may not be able to perform smoothly in 4K on some of the most demanding titles, but it will clear almost any game in 1440p at high settings with ease. Some benchmarks suggest the card actually performs well over MSi’s advertised 1845 MHz clock speed, although we haven’t tested this out in-house. 

Overall, this is easily one of the best first-hand GPU deals you’re likely to find under £400, so if you’re looking for a quality GPU for a mid-range PC build, this is the deal for you.

AI Actors: The Next Big Thing in Hollywood?

Technology and innovation are nothing new to the entertainment business. Hollywood has always been at the forefront of the use of innovative techniques and technologies to create engaging media, from the advent of sound to the development of computer-generated imagery. However, the recent boom in AI has raised alarm bells among working performers who worry that their jobs are at risk from new technologies. The effects of AI on the entertainment industry and the actors’ reactions to them will be discussed in this article.

The field of entertainment has seen major AI advancements in recent years. Images, videos, and even written text can now be generated by AI algorithms that look and sound almost as good as anything made by a human. Some movies and TV shows have already made use of this technology to make the actors look younger, such as The Mandalorian and The Irishman.

Synthetic voices and faces are also being developed with the help of AI. DALL-E, an artificial intelligence program, can create pictures of inanimate objects, and GPT-3 can write text that sounds human. All-new characters can be made with these tools, or actors can be cast in specific roles.

Actors and performers are worried about the increasing prevalence of AI in the entertainment industry. They worry that their jobs could be automated away and become obsolete. This is a valid concern because there are currently available artificial intelligence-based tools capable of producing photo- and text-realistic outputs. One well-known AI-based chatbot that can simulate human conversation is ChatGPT.

The use of their digital likenesses has also raised concerns among actors. The development of deepfake technology has allowed for the production of fake videos and photographs of nonexistent individuals. This tech could be used to produce maliciously misleading videos featuring actors.

Actors in Hollywood have gone on strike over their fears of being replaced by artificial intelligence. The WGA has been joined in their demand for AI regulations to protect writers and their works by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).

More than two months have passed since the strike began, and neither side is willing to budge. The Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild have made it clear that they do not want their members’ contractually protected works to be used in the training of artificial intelligence.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the trade group representing Hollywood studios, has offered actors a “groundbreaking AI proposal” to safeguard their digital likenesses. This proposal includes a demand for actors’ approval before any digital replicas or alterations of their performances can be made. SAG-AFTRA, however, has rejected this proposal on the grounds that it does not go far enough to protect the rights of actors.

Hollywood’s directors’ union, the Director’s Guild of America (DGA), has successfully negotiated AI safeguards into its contract. According to the DGA’s official position, “duties performed by DGA members must be assigned to a person,” and “generative artificial intelligence does not constitute a person.” This safeguard prevents the use of AI-based tools that could otherwise replace board members.

Some artists in the entertainment industry have taken legal action against AI. Sarah Silverman, a comedian, and two authors have sued OpenAI and Facebook parent company Meta for copyright infringement.

Legal action has been taken against both defendants on the grounds that they illegally copied and distributed summaries of the plaintiffs’ books. This legal battle illustrates the growing anxiety among artists about the possibility of their work being copied and remixed by software powered by artificial intelligence.

Hollywood’s embrace of AI is a trend that’s not going away anytime soon. Tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) are already widely used in the entertainment industry, and their prevalence is only expected to grow as technology advances. But that doesn’t mean acting is going away any time soon.

Instead, performers will need to adjust to the new realities of the business. They may need to acquire new abilities, such as the ability to use tools powered by AI, in order to maintain their relevance. It’s possible they’ll also have to work out more favorable terms for the use of their digital likenesses in contracts.

In conclusion, actors and entertainers are worried that their jobs will be automated away due to the proliferation of AI in the entertainment industry. But that doesn’t mean acting is going away any time soon. Instead, they need to adjust to the new realities of their field and work harder to secure favorable contractual protections for themselves.

As artists fight to prevent the unauthorized use of their work, the legal fight against AI-based tools is likely to continue. Tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) are already widely used in the entertainment industry, and their prevalence is only expected to grow as technology advances. Nonetheless, this won’t make the need for actors and performers obsolete. Instead, they need to accept the new Hollywood reality in the age of AI and make the necessary adjustments.

First reported on  NBC News

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ1: How has AI impacted the entertainment industry?

AI has brought significant advancements to the entertainment industry. It enables the creation of realistic images, videos, and text that rival human-made content. Movies and TV shows have used AI to make actors appear younger, and AI algorithms can generate synthetic voices and faces. These technologies have the potential to reshape the industry and create new possibilities for character creation and storytelling.

Q2: What concerns do actors have regarding AI in the entertainment industry?

Actors are concerned about the automation of their jobs and the potential obsolescence of their roles due to AI. The ability of AI to generate photo- and text-realistic outputs raises worries that their performances could be replicated or replaced by AI-generated content. The use of deepfake technology has also raised concerns about the unauthorized use of actors’ digital likenesses in misleading or malicious ways.

Q3: What actions have actors taken in response to AI in the industry?

Actors have gone on strike, demanding AI regulations to protect their rights and works. Organizations like the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) have joined forces to advocate for AI regulations. The negotiation between the industry trade group, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, and the actors’ unions has been ongoing, with disputes over the protection of actors’ digital likenesses and their approval rights.

Q4: What safeguards have been negotiated for directors in relation to AI?

The Director’s Guild of America (DGA) has successfully negotiated safeguards into its contract to address AI concerns. The DGA stipulates that duties performed by its members must be assigned to a person, stating that “generative artificial intelligence does not constitute a person.” This provision helps prevent the replacement of directors with AI-based tools.

Q5: Are there legal battles concerning AI in the entertainment industry?

Yes, legal action has been taken by artists against companies involved in AI. Comedian Sarah Silverman and two authors have sued OpenAI and Facebook’s parent company, Meta, for copyright infringement. They allege that the defendants illegally copied and distributed summaries of their books, highlighting concerns about the unauthorized use and remixing of their work by AI-powered software.

Q6: How should actors adapt to the growing presence of AI in the industry?

Actors need to adjust to the new realities of the industry by acquiring new skills and adapting to the use of AI-powered tools. Embracing AI and understanding its applications can help actors remain relevant and navigate the changing landscape. Additionally, securing favorable contractual protections for the use of their digital likenesses is essential in safeguarding their rights and interests.

Q7: Will acting be replaced by AI in the entertainment industry?

While AI is transforming the industry, acting is not expected to be completely replaced. The human element, emotions, and creativity that actors bring to their performances are still highly valued. However, actors need to adapt and embrace the opportunities that AI brings, collaborating with technology to enhance storytelling and create innovative experiences.

Q8: What is the future outlook for AI in the entertainment industry?

AI’s role in the entertainment industry is expected to continue growing as technology advances. AI-powered tools are already widely used and are likely to become more prevalent. It will be crucial for artists to strike a balance between embracing AI’s potential and protecting their rights and creative works. The industry will continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in the pursuit of innovative and engaging entertainment experiences.

John Kirby Defends Woke Military, Says Diversity Equity and Inclusion ‘Important’ (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance

John Kirby of the Biden administration defended woke policies in the U.S. Military on Friday, saying that Biden absolutely believes that diversity, equity and inclusion is important in the armed services.

Every branch of the military has been struggling with recruiting in recent years and this might be one of the reasons why.

The military is not supposed to be a lab for social engineering.

FOX News reports:


Kirby claims anti-woke defense bill puts troops, military readiness at ‘greater risk’


National Security Council spokesman John Kirby claimed that the left-wing policies Republican lawmakers condemn are actually essential for military readiness Friday.


The House of Representatives narrowly passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Friday, which Republicans have touted for pushing back against “woke” Pentagon policies. Most Democrats rejected the bill due to hotly debated amendments that would curb the Pentagon’s abortion travel reimbursement policy, transgender medical procedures and Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the military.


“DoD’s strategic advantage in a complex global security environment is the diverse and dynamic talent pool from which we draw,” the White House statement of administration policy said in response to the bill earlier this week. “We rely on diverse perspectives, experiences, and skillsets to remain a global leader, deter war, and keep our nation secure.”
