NordPass has announced that users of its password manager will now be able to access their encrypted vault from any browser. While the company's new Web Vault isn't a replacement for the NordPass app, it's an additional feature that makes accessing your stored passwords easier and more accessible. Still though, the NordPass Web Vault contains the majority of features and functionality available on the NordPass desktop app without having to install the application on every device a user wants to access their passwords from. At the same time, the introduction of Web Vault will finally allow NordPass users to access their passwords on a Chromebook. We've assembled a list of the best endpoint protection software Keep your devices virus free with the best malware removal software Also check out our roundup of the best firewall solutions available NordPass' Web Vault will also likely be a welcome addition for professionals who work with corporate devices on which they are not authorized to install third-party apps Third-party logins NordPass also recently introduced optional third-party logins so that users can log in to the company's services using their Google Account. With third-party logins, users can log in or even sign up for the company's password manager using existing information from another service without having to create a new login. Third-party logins not only make the sign-in process easier but also more secure. This new feature will be particularly useful for those who use Google to sign into their NordPass accounts since it lowers the risk of their passwords being brute-forced. However, it's worth noting that if you use your Google Account to log in to NordPass, it's not advisable to store your Google password using the service as forgetting it would lock you out of your NordPass account. As students are now heading back to school, NordPass is currently running a promotion where users can save up to 70 percent when subscribing to Premium NordPass features as long as they do so before September 30.

AMD's CFO Devinder Kumar recently commented that AMD stands ready to manufacture Arm chips if needed, noting that the company's customers want to work with AMD on Arm-based solutions. Kumar's remarks came during last week's Deutsche Bank Technology Conference, but they built on comments from AMD CEO Lisa Su earlier in the year that underscored the company's willingness to create custom silicon solutions for its customers, be they with x86 or Arm cores. "But I'll tell you from my standpoint, when you look at compute solutions, whether it's x86 or ARM or even other areas, that is an area for our focus on investment for us," Kumar responded to a question about the company's view of competing Arm chips. "We know compute really well. Even ARM, as you referenced, we have a very good relationship with ARM. And we understand that our customers want to work with us with that particular product to deliver the solutions. We stand ready to go ahead and do that even though it's not x86, although we believe x86 is a dominant strength in that area." Kumar's comments don't give us any concrete indication that the company has specific Arm projects underway. Still, they do confirm that the company's customers are interested in purchasing Arm-based processors from AMD, and that the company is willing to fulfill that need. AMD could deliver Arm chips through several possible go-to-market avenues, such as through standard off-the-shelf data center or desktop PC processor lineups as an AMD-branded solution, or through its semi-custom business, wherein it would design Arm processors to meet certain customer criteria. Given the trend we've seen of an increasing number of large hyperscalers developing their own chips, like AWS with Graviton, it's reasonable to expect that AMD could attract plenty of interest for Arm designs through its semi-custom business. AMD CEO Lisa Su set the tone earlier this year at the JPMorgan Global Technology event, saying, "I think AMD has a lot of experience with the ARM architecture. We have done quite a bit of design in our history with ARM as well. We actually consider ARM as a partner in many respects." "From an AMD standpoint, we consider ourselves sort of the high-performance computing solution working with our customers, and that that is certainly the way we look at this. And if it means ARM for certain customers, we would certainly consider something in that realm as well," Su explained. AMD is an Arm licensee and has quite a bit of experience with Arm architectures, dating back to its K12 architecture that never came to market as planned back in 2017. Fast forward to today, and AMD does ship Arm cores, but they come as small microcontrollers for relatively simple tasks, like the company's in-built Platform Security Processors (PSP) that perform security functions to harden the company's CPUs. AMD is willing to diversify to remain competitive in all possible workloads, and it has an expansive IP canvas to paint on. For instance, AMD could use its Infinity Fabric to tie numerous elements, such as chiplets, GPU cores, and various memories, into one cohesive unit. Additionally, its pending Xilinx acquisition could provide plenty of avenues for FPGA additives. It's easy to imagine AMD creating powerful data center-class chips for its clients, but even though Arm has reached record market share in PCs, it doesn't seem likely that we'll see AMD add Arm-powered PC chips to its stable any time soon. Naturally, the fog of Nvidia's pending $45 billion Arm acquisition hangs thick over any conversation about Arm, but that endeavor has hit more than a few snags and might not pass regulatory muster. AMD and Nvidia haven't always been the best of chums, but Nvidia has pledged to honor Arm's commitments and to continue licensing the architecture, even to its rivals, if the deal does go through. That could shape up for an odd encounter in the data center, with AMD-designed Arm chips facing off with Nvidia's Arm-based Grace CPUs. It could get even stranger, though. Intel, the other half of what is effectively an x86 duopoly, has pledged to produce chips based on just about any architecture through its Intel Foundry Services, be they Arm or based on the open RISC-V architecture. Intel may take things a step further, though, with its rumored $2 billion acquisition attempt of RISC-V chipmaker SiFive, proving that the coming years could completely redefine the semiconductor market. Meanwhile, AMD stands ready to punch out Arm-based chips for its customers, so it is probably more of a question of when it will happen rather than if.

Apparently, the species is known to grunt like a hog when pulled from the water. In the water, it looks like any other shark: a swift, gray hunter with steep dorsal fins poking out of its back. But take a close look at its face, and suddenly you're locking eyes with a real-life pig emoji. Meet the angular roughshark (Oxynotus centrina) — better known in some harbors as the "pig fish." Naval officers in Elba (an Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea not far from Tuscany) created an online stir when they pulled one of these beauties from the water on Sept. 3, posting pictures of the snub-headed oddity on Facebook. If the shark's flat head, wide-set eyes and blunt, pinkish snout weren't enough to earn the "pig fish" its nickname, then a single utterance from its mouth should put all doubt to rest. "It is commonly called a 'pig fish' because when it comes out of the water it emits a kind of grunt," Yuri Tiberto of the Elba Aquarium in Italy, told Toscana Media News following the recent discovery. According to the Elba Island app Facebook page, naval officers found the roughshark floating dead in the water before they hauled it onto the pier. The sharks are plentiful in the Mediterranean, where their spiny dorsal fins and relatively large bodies make them vulnerable to fishing operations, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Because of this, angular roughshark po[CENSORED]tions have been in decline for decades, and the species is considered vulnerable (that's one slot safer than "endangered" on the Red List's scale). The shark also lives throughout the East Atlantic Ocean, from Norway to South Africa. They have been spotted between 200 and 2,200 feet (60 to 670 meters) below the ocean's surface, and they usually grow to be about 3.3 feet (1 m) in length, according to the IUCN. The Mediterranean Sea has no shortage of strange sharks. In July 2019, fishers in the Mediterranean trawled up a "naked" shark — that is, a shark seemingly born with no skin or teeth. Astonishingly, the shark had lived to be 3 years old before it died in the fishers' nets. Scientists have yet to see anything else like it.

https://www.bbc.com/news At Afghanistan's border with Uzbekistan a cargo train rolls over a bridge and into the newly created "Islamic Emirate". The Taliban's white and black flag flutters next to the Uzbek one. Some traders have welcomed the group's return to power. The driver of a truck being loaded with wheat tells me in the past he was regularly forced to pay bribes to corrupt police officials whenever passing their checkpoints. "Now, it's not like that," he says. "I could drive all the way to Kabul and not pay a penny." It's been exactly one month since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan. Now cash is in short supply, and the country is facing a mounting economic crisis. One source in the business community tells us trade levels have dropped significantly, as Afghan importers aren't able to pay for new goods. The Taliban's head of customs at Hairatan port, Maulvi Saeed, tells us the group is cutting duty rates to promote trade, and wants to encourage wealthy traders to return to the country. "It will create jobs for the people, and the businessmen will be rewarded in the afterlife," he says. Around an hour's drive away is Mazar-i-Sharif, the country's fourth largest city. On the surface life appears to be continuing as normal, though many are suffering financially. I head to the intricately tiled Blue Mosque, the cultural heart of the city. I was last here in August, shortly before the Taliban takeover. Back then, the grounds we re teeming with young men and women posing for selfies. Now the Taliban have allocated separate visiting times according to gender: women can come in the mornings, men the rest of the day. When we visit, there are plenty of women strolling around, but there seem to be significantly fewer than before. "Things are alright, but maybe people still need more time to get used to the new government," one woman suggests timidly. I'm meeting Haji Hekmat, an influential local Taliban leader. "You might have brought security," I put to him, "but your critics say you're killing the culture here." "No," he replies emphatically, "Western influences have been here for the past 20 years… Control of Afghanistan has passed from one foreign hand to another for 40 years, we have lost our own traditions and values. We are bringing our culture back to life." According to his understanding of Islam, the mixing of men and women is prohibited. Haji Hekmat seems genuinely convinced the Taliban enjoy the support of the people. Out of his earshot, however, one female visitor whispered to a colleague, "These are not good people." Whilst the Taliban's interpretation of Islam might clash less with the values of those in more rural, socially conservative villages - in bigger Afghan cities, many remain deeply suspicious of the group. Haji Hekmat puts this down to years of "propaganda" but a history of suicide bombings and targeted assassinations in urban areas is clearly also responsible. As we leave the Blue Mosque, we spot a large and excited crowd by the main road, and elbow our way to the centre. Four dead bodies with bullet wounds are laid out on display. One has a small handwritten note on top of it describing the men as kidnappers, warning other criminals their punishment will be the same. Despite the smell of the bodies under the hot sun, the crowd snap photos and try to push past each other for a better look. Violent crime has long been a major problem in Afghanistan's big cities, and even their critics credit the Taliban with improving security. One onlooker tells us, "If they are kidnappers it's a good thing. It will be a lesson for others." line PROFILES: Who's who in the Taliban leadership INVESTIGATION: Taliban kill civilians in resistance stronghold VOICES: Uncertain times ahead for Afghan women line But lots of others in the city don't feel safe. Law student Farzana, tells us, "Every time I step out of my house and I see the Taliban, I shiver with fear." Private universities like hers are open, but those run by the government remain shut for now. Under the new Taliban rule, male and female students who are studying in the same classroom must be separated by a curtain. For Farzana, that's not the priority though. She's concerned that the Taliban may not let women work - something the group has denied. For the moment, though, women in Afghanistan are being told to stay at home for their own safety, unless they are teachers or medics. "Right now I feel hopeless," Farzana says, "but I'm doing my best to stay optimistic for the future." The last time the Taliban were in power, they introduced far more restrictive measures than they have so far on this occasion, banning women from leaving home without a male companion for example. Much of the fear in Afghan cities today is that similar laws could eventually be introduced again. Whilst the Taliban are in firm control of the country, they're yet to win the hearts and minds of many residents. Haji Hekmat acknowledges, "Taking over the country militarily was hard, implementing the rule of law and protecting it
