| The Google Maps feature we've been waiting for is finally here - BGR Posted: 02 Oct 2019 06:20 AM PDT A leak a few days ago revealed that Google was finally testing a Google Maps feature that was announced back at I/O 2019. That's an incognito mode for Google Maps that will work just like it does in a web browser, only for navigation and location history. With Incognito enabled in Google Maps, you won't have to worry about preventing Google from associating certain locations with your Google account, which is something many Maps users will appreciate. The new Google Maps feature is part of a bigger push from Google to enhance user privacy. The company announced several new features in a blog post penned by Eric Miraglia, the company's director of product management, privacy, and data protection.
The post explains that incognito mode is already available on Chrome and YouTube, and it's now coming to Google Maps. The feature is rolling out first to Android, with iPhone coming soon:
Additionally, Google also announced that it'll allow users to automatically delete YouTube history, just as they can with Location History and Web & App Activity. Furthermore, the Google Assistant will be able to handle privacy-related commands:
Finally, users who rely on Google's password manager will be informed whether any of the passwords they use have been breached at any time in the past, prompting them to change affected passwords to ensure their accounts are secure.

| Google's Password Checkup feature will be built into Chrome - Engadget Posted: 02 Oct 2019 03:07 AM PDT Sponsored Links Google released the Password Checkup extension for Chrome in February, which alerts users if they enter a password and username combination which is known to be compromised. That extension has been downloaded by more than 650,000 people and has been used to scan 1.5 percent of overall sign-ins. In the near future, Chrome will come will Password Checkup built in so users won't need to download an extension or take any extra steps to use the feature. Google says it is providing this tool due to the increasing importance of security issues, as demonstrated by a recent Harris poll which shows how common poor password practices are in the US. On top of that, Google has embedded Checkup directly into your Google Account. It'll tell you whether your passwords have been compromised on other sites or services, warn against phrases that have been reused and prompt for weaker passwords to be strengthened. Services like LastPass already offer similar tools, but Google is making them easily accessible at passwords.google.com. One quarter of Americans have used weak passwords like abc123 or password, two thirds have reused the same password for multiple sites and less than half would change their password if it was disclosed in a breach. The Password Checkup function should be particularly useful for informing users about data breaches, as 60 percent of surveyed users were unaware their accounts had been compromised. Other password features introduced in Chrome this year include password exports and a password suggestion tool to create stronger passphrases.   84 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| AMD Ryzen Pro 3000 series desktop CPUs will offer full RAM encryption - Ars Technica Posted: 02 Oct 2019 03:30 AM PDT  Enlarge / Mmmmm, business-y. Don't expect to build your own Ryzen Pro 3000 system—the new chips are, sadly, only available to large OEMs. AMD Monday, AMD announced Ryzen Pro 3000 desktop CPUs would be available in Q4 2019. This of course raises the question, "What's a Ryzen Pro?" The business answer: Ryzen Pro 3000 is a line of CPUs specifically intended to power business-class desktop machines. The Pro line ranges from the humble dual-core Athlon Pro 300GE all the way through to Ryzen 9 Pro 3900, a 12-core/24-thread monster. The new parts will not be available for end-user retail purchase and are only available to OEMs seeking to build systems around them.
From a more technical perspective, the answer is that the Ryzen Pro line includes AMD Memory Guard, a transparent system memory encryption feature that appears to be equivalent to the AMD SME (Secure Memory Encryption) in Epyc server CPUs. Although AMD's own press materials don't directly relate the two technologies, their description of Memory Guard—"a transparent memory encryption (OS and application independent DRAM encryption) providing a cryptographic AES encryption of system memory"—matches Epyc's SME exactly. AMD Memory Guard is not, unfortunately, available in standard Ryzen 3000 desktop CPUs. If you want to build your own Ryzen PC with full memory encryption from scratch, you're out of luck for now.
HP's EliteDesk 705 G5 Small Form Factor and EliteDesk G5 Mini will be among the first PCs to feature the new Ryzen Pro 3000 CPUs. The SFF desktop PC will be available with the Athlon Pro 300GE APU, the Ryzen 3 Pro 3200G, or Ryzen 5 Pro 3400G. The Mini offers the same selection, along with the Ryzen 3 3200GE and Ryzen 5 3400GE low-power variants.
