Vancouver-based national telecom Telus has another Boxing Week offer that slipped under the radar: $100/year for talk and text.

Spotted by RedFlagDeals user ‘Giorgiodethrifty‘, this Telus plan might work for you if you’re looking for a basic, low-cost calling plan, though it does come with some major caveats. First, the plan typically gives customers 400 anytime local minutes for the year, which isn’t a lot. However, the Boxing Week offer bumps that up to unlimited nationwide minutes for one year. As far as I’m concerned, that makes this Telus plan a much better option.

Unfortunately, texting is still limited to 400 incoming and outgoing SMS and MMS messages, which also is not a lot. Still, if you’re all about calling, the texting limits may not matter much to you.

The first part of the deal mentions a free gift for the first 50 people in-store on December 26th. It doesn’t mention what the gift is, so hopefully, it’s not a GME stock.

Select Nintendo titles are $25 off, which include Zelda Breath of the Wild, Zelda Skyward Sword, Mario Party Superstars, and Pokémon Snap. And starting December 18th, you can grab Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope for $49.99

The impact of the ransomware attack that hit Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children may last for weeks.

In an online statement today the hospital said it anticipates that it will be a matter of weeks before all systems are functioning as normal. There is no evidence to date that personal information or personal health information has been impacted.

Clinical and operational teams are implementing backup procedures for systems that are not yet accessible, the statement says. “This is a fluid and evolving situation that is still under investigation,” it adds.

“While we can confirm this is a ransomware attack, SickKids has been preparing for attacks of this nature, and mobilized quickly to mitigate potential impacts to the continuity of care. We have rapidly engaged with third-party expert organizations and law enforcement to bring a resolution to the situation as quickly as possible.”

Urgent and emergent care as well as scheduled appointments and procedures are continuing, even as impacted systems are being brought back online. However, clinical teams are currently experiencing delays with retrieving lab and imaging results, which the hospital says may cause longer wait times for patients and families.

Patients and families can continue to communicate with their care teams as they normally would, the hospital says. There is no evidence to date that personal information or personal health information has been impacted.

SickKids, which dates back to 1875, is Canada’s largest hospital for treating children. It operates with a $1.21 billion annual budget, 62 per cent of which comes from the province of Ontario.

Ransomware attacks on hospitals are continuing at much the same rate as ever, noted Brett Callow, a British Columbia-based threat analyst and ransomware specialist with Emisisoft. “Realistically, we haven’t made nearly enough headway in tackling the ransomware problem. If we don’t find ways to protect our healthcare system, people may die. And that’s especially true at a time when our hospitals are already stretched to. and in some cases beyond, breaking point.”

Tesla is implementing a hiring freeze, Mastodon is gaining more popularity, and Iran’s internet shutdown is impacting its economy. 

 

That’s all the tech news that’s trending right now. Welcome to Hashtag Trending. It’s Thursday, December 22, and I am your host, Ashee Pamma.

Tesla is laying off more employees in the next quarter, according to reports from Electrek. The company is also looking to freeze hiring. This summer, Elon Musk noted that Tesla would reduce its salaried workforce by roughly 10 per cent over a three month period. At this stage it’s unclear how extensive the hiring freeze will be, especially with Tesla planning to expand in some manufacturing locations. The moves come as Tesla’s stock has been falling all year despite the company’s financials hitting new records every quarter. In a Reuters report, it revealed that Tesla analysts have also cut their price targets on the stock, worried that weakness in demand from China will weigh on the EV maker’s deliveries in 2023.

Twitter’s rival Mastodon has now grown eight times its size in a matter of weeks, going from approximately 300,000 users in October to 2.5 million in November. This growth comes as Twitter users have announced their plans to switch services amid the chaos at the platform following Elon Musk’s takeover. According to CNN, as of this week, Mastodon’s app stood at number eight among free social networking apps on the Google Play Store and at number 11 in the social networking category on Apple’s app store. Just last week, Twitter began blocking links to Mastodon on its platform. Then it made that practice an explicit policy on Sunday, before backlash forced Musk to suspend the policy in less than 24 hours. 

Internet shutdown, content filtering and platform blocking in Iran is impacting the country’s economy. In response to mass government opposition and protests, the Iranian regime launched a huge shutdown in September that limited all digital communication in the country. These disruptions have impacted businesses of all sizes. Multiple Iranian trade associations reported that their member companies are dealing with major losses. According to a report from Wired, some businesses have found that the recent outage affected hundreds of thousands of small businesses. The cumulative impact of these crackdowns has impacted the rights of over 80 million people currently in Iran and disrupted aspects of society in the country.

On January 1, 2023, copyrighted works from 1927 will enter the U.S. public domain. They will be free for all to copy, share, and build upon. Some of these works include Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse and the final Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. When works go into the public domain, they can now legally be shared, without permission or fee. This means that  online repositories such as the Internet Archive, Google Books, and the New York Public Library, for example, can make works fully available online. In addition, community theaters can screen the films and youth orchestras can perform the music publicly, without paying licensing fees. The Centre for the Study of Public Domain has compiled a list of all works entering the domain online.

Google added live translation support for Google Meet back in September 2021. Since then, the feature has helped users overcome language barriers in meetings, with English speech being seamlessly translated to French, German, Portuguese and Spanish.

Up until now, the feature was limited to translating and live captioning English speech to various languages. Now, Google has added support for additional languages, alongside support for translating speech from other languages to English live captions.

English speech can now be translated and live captioned to three new languages, namely Japanese, Mandarin (simplified), and Swedish, whereas speech in French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish can be translated and live captioned into English.

Its worth noting that support for the newly added languages is still in Beta, so there might be a few hiccups here and there, but the feature should work as intended for the most part.

The functionality is currently rolling out for Google Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, and should be available to users over the next few days.

In a recent study, Surfshark analyzed search results obtained by Googling for downloads of popular software, and their findings are enough to make you shudder: up to 64 per cent of links in search results for some programs were to sites spreading malware.

The search for “Avid software” appears to be the most dangerous, with search results containing 64.4 per cent of potentially dangerous links.

The methodology used by Surfshark was simple. The company first compiled a list of the most popular software, divided into five categories: social media, web browsers, crypto wallets, small business and creativity. It used softwareadvice.com‘s extensive database to determine the most popular applications.

Then it ran Google searches using the names of the software paired with the terms “download” and “torrent.” It finally analyzed the first five pages of results using a malware scanner. All results identified as medium or higher risk were considered potentially dangerous.

Across all categories, one-third of search results are risky, and six searches returned more than 50 per cent potentially dangerous links. These are searches for “Avid software” (64.4 per cent), “Substance 3D Printer” (57.32 per cent), “Sketch software” (56.38 per cent), “Substance 3D Stager” (56.25 per cent), “Maxon Cinema 4D” (55 .1 per cent) and “V-Ray” (53.76 per cent)

It is the “creativity” category which shows the worst results, Avid software being one of these.

In the social media category, Twitter leads, with 48.3 per cent of search results pointing to potential malware.

The small business software category is dominated by the workforce management tool Hubstaff, with 44.3 per cent of potentially dangerous search results.

Lumi Wallet, with 47.1 per cent of questionable results, sits at the top of the crypto-wallets category, while the top of the web browser category is occupied by the Vivaldi browser, with 39.53 per cent of results when you search for a download that are dangerous.

Of some concern, most major web browsers – including Microsoft Edge (32.58 per cent), Safari (30.23 per cent), Opera (30.12 per cent), Chrome (29.87 per cent), Brave (23.60 per cent) – are among the 10 browsers whose downloads are the riskiest to search for.

To protect yourself, Surfshark offers 5 pieces of sound advice:

Always stick to reliable sources for downloads
Choose secure sites (https:// instead of http://)
Make sure your browser is up-to-date
Choose a trusted ad blocker to help stop malware
Install a good anti-virus program and keep it up-to-date

The full study results are available on the Surfshark website.

Back in October, CDProjektRed detailed how users can rescue and export their Cyberpunk 2077 game progress from Google’s dying Stadia game streaming platform.

Now, Ubisoft is allowing Stadia users that purchased any of its games to migrate over to Ubisoft Connect, allowing you to retain your Ubisoft games and game progress directly on PC, all at no extra cost. Further, Ubisoft’s approach is much simpler than CDProjektRed’s. In the case of CyberPunk 2077, users have to manually export and import their game data using Google Takeout, however, with Ubisoft, any of the publisher’s titles that you purchased on Stadia will be automatically be added to your Ubisoft account through Ubisoft Connect as long as you have your Stadia and Ubisoft accounts linked.

If you’ve played a Ubisoft game on Stadia, the accounts should already be linked, but if they’re not already, you can connect them in your Ubisoft account’s settings.

Once linked, any Ubisoft title on your Stadia account should automatically migrate over.

It’s worth noting that Stadia has confirmed that purchases on all hardware and software products are eligible for refunds. So technically, you’ll get a refund for Ubisoft games, while also being able to migrate them over and continue playing them free of cost. It’s also worth noting that any in-game virtual currency that you have isn’t transferable, so make sure to spend it before January 18th, the day Stadia ceases to exist.

Further, as a measure of goodwill, “all Ubisoft customers on Stadia, whether owners or subscribers, will also receive a coupon code for one free month of GeForce NOW Priority Membership, which will allow you to keep streaming Ubisoft games across a wide variety of devices,” reads Ubisoft’s blog post.
