Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to get to the end of our journey. And this week, we talked about IT security. I have another class about IT security this semester, so I have the content for this week I am familiar with. Here's the funny thing: last week, the most extensive IT security incident of the year just happened! I know you already know what I will talk about, CloudStrike ! On Friday, a buggy update from U.S. cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike caused the world's largest-ever IT outage. Over 8.5 million Windows devices went down, showing the dreaded blue screen. This crash affected many industries, from airlines to retailers, leading to chaos. CrowdStrike provides online security solutions with software that digs deep into a computer's operating system to find threats. This time, however, the update's bug triggered Windows' blue screen protection. This incident shows us that IT problems can be very unpredictable. Do we really need everything in our lives connec...

 What's up, everyone! Today, let's talk about something happening in China: self-driving vehicles. In the middle of this month, “Apollo Go” has been put into operation in a large number of 20 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Jinan and Wuhan, to start trial operation, of which Wuhan is the largest driverless operation city. The most significant selling point of “Apollo Go” is its low price, which soon hit the Wuhan cab market. Its cost is very cheap, about 3 or 4 yuan (about 0.4 to 0.55 U.S. dollars) for 10 kilometres, a kilometre contract of 30 or 40 cents (about 0.04 to 0.055 U.S. dollars), which has a significant impact on the cab market, especially on the Internet taxi constitute a fatal blow. Because both have the same way of hailing a taxi, the starting price of an online cab is 7 yuan (about 0.96 U.S. dollars), and the starting distance is 2 kilometres, which directly pushes the online taxis into a corner. On the one hand, this driverless technology affects...

 Hi everyone!  This week, let's talk about new smart wearables technology. Do you like the rings in the picture? Samsung has a new product called Samsung Ring. Equipped with an optical heart rate sensor, blood oxygen monitor, skin temperature sensor, and accelerometer, the Galaxy Ring boasts 24/7 mainstream health monitoring, augmented by Artificial Intelligence (AI) software, with relevant tracking data synchronized via Bluetooth to the Samsung Health app, App Samsung Health. Before this product, I had no clue that a ring could have technology. After some research, I found that a company called Qura produces a product called Qura Ring. Is this Samsung Ring a plagiarism?👀 By the way, this ring cost 400 bucks. Are you interested? Check the link below! https://www.samsung.com/us/rings/galaxy-ring/  

 This week, I am officially a Cisco Certified Network Associate! Congratulations to me!✌ This week, let's talk about AI crawlers. Lately, many AI companies have been using web crawlers to grab content from websites to train their models. To help out, Cloudflare made a free tool that blocks these crawlers, which can also improve website performance. This tool is available to free users and improves by learning crawler patterns over time. This makes it easier for website owners to stop their content from being scraped. Stats show that many crawlers bypass traditional defences, forcing stricter filters that can affect regular visitors, traffic, and search rankings. ByteSpider from ByteDance and GPTBot from OpenAI are the top crawlers, making up most of the traffic on Cloudflare-protected sites. Even with these tools, some AI companies still find ways to sneak past and grab data. So, who's' stronger: the firewall or the crawlers? There's' a saying, ""Virtue is...
