How to Overcome the Appearance of Safe Search Mode Enabled Yandex

Morrissey Technology – The Yandex search engine provides a Safe Search feature which functions to filter content that is deemed inappropriate for users, especially content with adult content. This feature is enabled by default via the Family Search settings. With this setting, Yandex will limit user access to websites that are detected to contain adult or inappropriate content.

However, there are times when users want to access this content without restrictions from Safe Search. Safe Search mode enabled is a term that indicates that safe search mode has been activated on the Yandex search engine. So how do you solve it? Follow the steps below.

What is Yandex?

Yandex, which stands for ‘Yet Another Indexer’, was first launched in 1997 at the Softool-Moscow exhibition. Since then, Yandex has grown to become one of Russia’s most dominant search engines, with more than 45 percent of the country’s internet users using its services. In fact, Yandex has eclipsed Google in popularity in Russia, especially after the arrival of the smartphone era into the country.

One of Yandex’s main advantages over its competitors is its location-based search technology. This technology allows search results to be more relevant to the user’s location. For example, if two people search for the same keyword, the search results displayed may differ depending on each user’s location. This makes search results more specific and appropriate to the local context.

Apart from Russia, Yandex has also spread its wings to several other East Asian countries FOR4D, such as Ukraine, Belarus, Turkey and Kazakhstan. The features offered by Yandex are also similar to Google, such as web search, images, videos, and others.

Even though it is still less popular than Google globally, Yandex’s presence poses a real threat to Google’s dominance, especially in Russia and other East Asian countries. With reliable location-based search technology and continuously developing features, Yandex has the potential to become the top choice for internet users in the region.

How to Overcome Safe Search Mode Enabled

Here are the steps to resolve Safe Search Mode enabled in Yandex:

  • Open the Yandex website, then perform any search to access the search results page.
  • On the Yandex search results page, you will find the ‘Settings’ option in the bottom right corner. Click the option to open the settings menu.
  • In the settings menu, look for the ‘Filter Pages’ section. In this section, you can change the option from ‘Family Search’ to another option, such as ‘Do Not Filter’.
  • After changing the Page Filter options, the previously active Yandex Safe Search will be disabled. This way, you can access all websites, including those previously blocked because they were detected to contain adult content.
  • By turning off Yandex Safe Search, users have the freedom to explore all content on the internet without any filters or restrictions applied by the search engine. Hope it is useful!

Check The Time it Takes For Hackers to Break Your Password, Click Here

Morrissey Technology – Passwords are needed to access the accounts you have, from email accounts to banking matters. Therefore, you have to be very clever in creating a password that is strong and not easy to guess. Is your password strong enough and difficult for hackers to crack? It turns out, there are sites that can estimate how long it will take hackers to crack the password you use.

The NordPass password manager platform report in 2022 reveals a list of the 200 most used passwords in 30 countries, including Indonesia. It was found that many common passwords can still be guessed easily FOR4D, such as ‘123456’ and ‘qwerty’. It turns out that the password most often used by Indonesians is ‘123456’. This password was used 5,742 times and could be guessed in less than one second.

So, now the question is: are you confident enough with the passwords you use for various accounts? If so, try to prove it by accessing the security.org site. On the security.org site, you just enter the password you want to test. Later, below the bar will appear the estimated time it will take for hackers to hack it. There is no fee charged to check FOR4D how strong the password you want to know is.

It is recommended to use various letters, numbers, special characters, and combinations of capital letters FOR4D when creating a password. Even though it seems trivial, this formula can make the password you create stronger. An example is this :

Bad category password: arsenal (can be hacked in less than a second)
Upgrade category password: Ar$sena1 (takes 6 minutes to hack)
Secure password: Ar$en@1-01 (took 5 years to hack).

Comparison of Fiber Optic Internet Quality vs Starlink and Who is More Expensive?

Morrissey Technology – The operation of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite-based internet service in Indonesia is currently a hot topic of discussion. When compared with fiber optic services, what are the differences and whose rates are more expensive?

PT Remala Abadi (Data), which is an internet service provider (ISP), revealed a number of factors that influence the quality and speed of Starlink internet.

President Director of PT Remala Abadi, Richard Kartawaijaya, said that many factors influence Starlink internet, such as unstable signals due to being blocked by trees or buildings, and also very dependent on the weather.

So when it rains, said Richard, Starlink will be ineffective to use, especially for those who need a stable network. Moreover, Indonesia’s position in a tropical area with lots of clouds and frequent rain will significantly affect Starlink services FOR4D.

“Satellites have a different character from fiber optics. ISPs that deploy fiber optics are not affected by the weather. The broadband capacity that consumers can enjoy reaches 1Gbps. So consumers who need high and stable speed will of course choose fiber optics,” said Richard in his written statement. .

He also conveyed that the advantages of fiber optics with satellite-based internet can be a mainstay for those who need a stable connection.

“With fiber optics, the delay, speed and capacity provided are still superior to Starlink. Internet via Starlink may only be purchased for backup or to complement existing broadband services,” said Richard.

In terms of prices offered by fiber optic providers, it is more affordable than Starlink. Residential Starlink subscription costs IDR 750 thousand per month. If consumers need mobile services, Starlink sets prices starting from IDR 990 thousand per month to IDR 7 million per month. Meanwhile, these costs do not include the purchase of receiving devices. Standard Starlink receiving devices are set at IDR 7.8 million to IDR 43 million, other costs still need to be added.

Richard continued, the cost of a fiber optic data subscription is very affordable. For a speed of 50 mbps, NetHome is priced at IDR 229 thousand. Meanwhile, for a speed of 250 mbps, NetHome provides a very affordable price, namely IDR 399 thousand. This cost includes installation and equipment.

First Media provides a price offer that is not much different from NetHome. For broadband services with a speed of 50 Mbps, First Media is priced at IDR 276,945. Meanwhile, for a broadband speed of 300 Mbps, First Media sets a price of IDR 776,445. This cost includes installation and equipment.

This price comparison proves that Starlink services are more expensive, when compared with cellular and fiber optic technology FOR4D. Apart from the fact that space segment devices are still expensive, the launch costs are also not cheap.

Moreover, LEO satellite operators, such as Starlink, require a lot of satellites and their age is no more than five years. Because the technology is expensive, Richard said, it is impossible for satellite operators to sell their services below the cost of goods sold.

“If the price is too cheap, there are indications that satellite operators, including Starlink, are dumping,” he said.

Microsoft Threatened with Billions of Dollars in Fines Due to Bing AI

Morrissey Technology – Microsoft faces a fine of up to 1% of its annual revenue if it does not immediately respond to the European Union’s request by May 27 2024. The threat stems from requests made under the European Union’s Digital Services Act regarding the company’s Bing search engine and related generative artificial intelligence (AI) services.

In a post onMicrosoft faces a fine of up to 1% of its annual revenue if it does not immediately respond to the European Union’s request by May 27 2024. The threat stems from requests made under the European Union’s Digital Services Act regarding the company’s Bing search engine and related generative artificial intelligence (AI) services.

The European Union explained that the initial request sent on May 14 related to specific risks stemming from Bing’s generative AI features, particularly Copilot in Bing and image creation by Designer. Microsoft has until May 27, 2024 to provide the requested information to the European Union.

This warning was accompanied by a notice that the EU FOR4D may impose fines of up to 1% of the provider’s total annual revenue, as well as periodic fines of up to 5% of the provider’s average daily revenue if the EU’s requests are not met before the deadline. While a 1% revenue fine may not sound like a major blow, in Microsoft’s case, it could amount to more than USD 2 billion.

Self-reported revenue for 2023 is USD 211 billion, and if current market trends remain stable, it is conceivable that Microsoft could surpass that figure in 2024. With these figures, if fined, it would be around USD 2.1 billion.

However, Microsoft has not been found guilty of violating European Union law, at least not specifically in relation to this notification. Rather, this appears to be more of a polite notice to the public that Microsoft has effectively been asked to provide further details, which have consequences if ignored.

Microsoft’s Weapon to Defeat Apple Silicon: Copilot Plus PC

Morrissey Technology – Microsoft is now very confident that it will successfully make the transition to ARM chips and defeat the dominance of Apple Silicon. At the Surface and Windows AI event held in Redmond, United States — Microsoft’s headquarters. Their weapon to defeat Apple Silicon is called Copilot Plus PC, which from the name alone shows that artificial intelligence (AI) will be its main feature, including 40 AI models embedded in the operating system, as well as the Copilot AI assistant equipped with the GPT-4o model The latest from OpenAI.

Microsoft does not hesitate to directly compare the latest laptops in the Copilot Plus PC category with the MacBook Air with the M3 chip. Yusuf Mehdi, one of the Microsoft executives who presented at the event, claimed that the performance of this new laptop was 58% faster than the MacBook Air M3.

It’s just that he didn’t explain whether all Copilot Plus PCs have that kind of performance, or only laptops with the latest ARM chips from Qualcomm. However, what is clear is that they estimate that 50 million new Copilot Plus PC laptops will be sold during 2025.

Performance

Copilot Plus PC is predicted to be a system that is efficient in power usage, has fast performance, and is the basis for future AI-based laptops FOR4D.

“You’re going to see the fastest PC of all time. In fact, it will beat every device out there, including the MacBook Air with the M3 processor, by 50% in sustained performance,” said Mehdi.

You could say, since Apple released the M1 in 2020, Microsoft has fallen very far behind in terms of performance and battery efficiency for laptops. Plus, Microsoft’s attempts to move from x86 to ARM at that time were never successful.

For your information, the transition to ARM has been underway since 2012 when the Surface RT was released. Performance was poor, and almost no apps were compatible with the platform. Then in 2019 they released the Surface Pro X, which was slightly better due to improved software emulation. However, it still cannot compete with the M1 which was released a few months later.

“This is something we have never produced for two decades, we have never mastered a device that can produce maximum performance,” he explained.

Compatibility

High performance is of course useless if there is no application to support it. To overcome this, Microsoft has an emulator called Prism, which is claimed to be as efficient as Apple’s Rosetta 2 translation layer, and can emulate applications twice as fast as previous Windows on Arm devices FOR4D.

For your information, estart, translation, or whatever it is called, is a system created so that applications for x86 (or x64) can be operated on ARM-based platforms. The performance will certainly not be as high as applications that are created natively for ARM, but the performance difference is being tried to be as small as possible.

“We’re spending a lot of energy here. For applications that aren’t native, we can now take advantage of Prism’s capabilities and solve this with better energy and performance efficiency for the emulator,” said Windows and Surface chief Pavan Davuluri.

In fact, this emulator is just a bridge so that the transition from x86 to ARM can be smoother. If you look at the success of Apple Silicon, they were able to grow rapidly because they were able to encourage developers to immediately port their applications to ARM, so they could run natively and take advantage of all the capabilities of Apple Silicon.

This is what Microsoft needs to do if it wants Copilot Plus PC to be a success. Not just promising high performance and the like. Fortunately, there are many popular applications that support ARM natively, for example, Photoshop, Dropbox, Zoom, Spotify, Prime, and including Google which has brought Chrome to ARM. Browsers such as Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, Firefox, and of course Edge have now joined ARM.

Battery life

Microsoft has not forgotten battery life either. In their presentation, they compared the 2022 Surface Laptop 5 with the Surface Copilot Plus PC using scripts to simulate web browsing. The result?

The Surface Laptop 5 lasted eight hours and 38 minutes, and the Surface Copilot Plus PC lasted 16 hours and 56 minutes. For comparison, the MacBook Air 15 M3 “only” lasted 15 hours 25 minutes. In testing for video playback the Surface Copilot Plus PC lasted more than 20 hours, while the MacBook Air 15 M3 lasted 17 hours 45 minutes.

A.I

Copilot Plus PC is equipped with a neural processing unit (NPU) from Qualcomm FOR4D which produces 45 TOPS capability for processing AI tasks. Its task operations per watt are higher than the MacBook Air M3, and even the RTX 4060 GPU from Nvidia.

Then there are 40 small AI models embedded in the operating system, 10 of which run in the background and are claimed to provide new user experiences for consumers and application developers.

“This opens the door to new opportunities for AI experiences. NPUs provide magic in the form of the ability to perform high-performance tasks,” said Davuluri.

One of them is the Recall feature, which can be a kind of time machine on a PC. Users can “rewind” whatever appears on the PC, which can happen because the AI ​​model runs in the background and records everything the user does on the PC.

There is also Auto Super Resolution which automatically upscales the game to increase the frame rate and graphic resolution.

Of course, all of this is still just a claim from Microsoft. We have to wait until there is a device with this platform available on the market. Fortunately, Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung have released Copilot Plus PC laptops that use Qualcomm processors.

Two Chinese Citizens Arrested for Fraudulent Crypto Investments

Two Chinese Citizens Arrested for Fraudulent Crypto Investments

Morrissey Technology – The United States government arrested two Chinese citizens for committing crypto fraud, which stole at least USD 73 million or around IDR 1.1 trillion from its victims. These two people are Yicheng Zhang, a Chinese citizen who lives in Temple City, California, who was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday (16/5), and Daren Li, who holds Chinese and St Kitts and Nevis citizenship, who was arrested at Atlanta airport on last April.

These two people are accused of carrying out a crypto investment fraud known as the pig butchering scheme, which is thought to have become a global “industry” worth billions of dollars. For your information, pig butchering is a mode of fraud using social engineering techniques. The perpetrator will persuade the victim to invest in a fake crypto platform, and when the investment is large enough, all the invested assets are then taken.

So, what Zhang and Li did was open a bank account in the US using the name of a shell company. The victim was persuaded to save the money in the account. Then the funds were transferred to a number of countries and also exchanged in the form of cryptocurrency FOR4D, which was then laundered by being sent to a bank account in the Bahamas.

“Even though fraud in the crypto market takes various forms and hides in faraway places, the perpetrators remain within reach of law enforcement,” said US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.

Zhang and Li were charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and six counts of international money laundering. If found guilty, they face a maximum sentence of 20 years for each count convicted.

What is the Difference between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 in ChatGPT

Morrissey Technology – ChatGPT is one of the most popular artificial intelligence (AI) in the world. To support its users, ChatGPT has released its newest AI language, namely GPT-4, in March 2023. Previously, ChatGPT used an AI language called GPT-3.5 which can be accessed for free. However, detikers who want to use GPT-4 must subscribe first. So, what is the difference between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4? Is it true that the newest AI language from ChatGPT is more feature-rich and powerful? Check out the explanation in this article.

Differences between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4

Even though both are language model programs in conversation or dialogue format, it turns out there are differences between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. Quoting the Coursera page, here are a number of differences:

1. Can use images

In GPT-3.5, users must write prompts using text to generate AI output from ChatGPT. Meanwhile, in the GPT-4 version, you can use text and images. So, you can enter commands in the form of text and images. After that, GPT-4 will provide an explanation or answer to the text or image you sent as a prompt FOR4D. For example, you include a picture of the inside of the refrigerator and its contents. Later, AI will suggest what food or drink recipes can be made with the ingredients in the image.

2. Produce safer and more accurate answers

OpenAI claims that GPT-4 is more secure in generating answers written to prompts than the GPT-3.5 version.

“82 percent less likely to respond to requests for unauthorized content and 40 percent more likely to produce factual responses compared to GPT-3.5 in our internal evaluation,” wrote OpenAI on its official website.

The features contained in GPT-4 are certainly good news. Because, in several cases there is often misinformation, inaccuracy and bias in the answers produced.

3. Have a bigger memory

GPT-4 is claimed to be able to remember more conversations with its users than GPT-3.5. Previously, GPT-3.5 had limitations in conveying information that was only available before 2021 and had a limited short-term memory, namely around 8,000 words. For comparison, GPT-4 is claimed to have eight times more memory than the GPT-3.5 version, which can store 64,000 words. Then, GPT-4 also has a longer context window or amount of text that can be processed simultaneously. In fact, the GPT-4 Turbo version can process up to 128,000 words. This feature can help users perform various tasks, such as including a website link in the prompt and asking ChatGPT to consider the source.

4. Wider General Knowledge

The general knowledge base in GPT-4 is said to be better than GPT-3.5. It allows users to generate, edit, and repeat various tasks such as composing songs, writing screenplays, or learning the user’s writing style. In addition, GPT-4 has used the latest data up to April-December 2023, so it can provide better and more appropriate answers. However, it all depends on the model version too.

5. Price

The final difference is in terms of price. Currently, GPT-3.5 is available in a free version and can be accessed by anyone. Even so, the features feel incomplete and not up to date. Meanwhile, GPT-4 can be accessed by subscribing every month. If detikers are interested, you have to spend US$ 20 or around Rp. 320 thousand per month. ChatGPT FOR4D also provides a ‘Team’ plan targeted at workers or students who need more features. Each person will be charged US$ 25 or the equivalent of Rp. 400 thousand per month.

AI Disrupts Microsoft’s Climate Change Plans

Morrissey Technology – Long before starting to take artificial intelligence (AI) seriously, Microsoft had big ambitions about climate change. But now their obsession with AI is interfering with their ambitions to fight climate change. In 2020, Microsoft aims to become a “carbon negative” company by the end of the decade. To make that plan a reality, they want to cut greenhouse gas emissions by half, and want to clean up more carbon dioxide emissions than they produce.

Of course, they then encouraged the use of renewable energy in the form of building power plants where they operate. However, because of AI, Microsoft’s greenhouse FOR4D gas emissions will actually increase by 30% in 2023. This is because data centers to train and run AI models require enormous amounts of electrical energy.

Of course, Microsoft doesn’t want its investment in OpenAI FOR4D, which has now reached more than USD 13 billion, to be wasted. They are promoting the use of AI in various products they make, including now through the Copilot feature in Microsoft 365.

“In 2020, we unveiled what we call the carbon moonshot. That was before the explosion of artificial intelligence. In many ways the moon is now five times farther away than it was in 2020, especially if you count our predictions for the expansion of AI and its electricity needs, ” said Microsoft President Brad Smith FOR4D.

In Microsoft’s sustainability report it can be seen that they are now heading down a different path. They produced 15.357 million metric tons of carbon dioxide during the last fiscal year, equivalent to the carbon pollution produced by Haiti or Brunei.

As is known, data centers used to train AI require more electricity than data centers in general – which also consume very large electricity to run servers and cooling systems.

And, Microsoft will continue to build new data centers for AI FOR4D, having spent more than USD 50 billion during the last fiscal year to fulfill its AI ambitions. This figure is expected to increase in the current fiscal year.
