Many people using mobile phones may not be aware that some apps installed on their devices are tracking them across websites and other apps for targeted advertising.  (Photo by Somchai Poomlard) Most mobile users may not be aware some apps installed on their devices are tracking them across websites and other apps for targeted advertising, but the upcoming roll-out of Apple's iOS 14 operating system could potentially disrupt the practice as it would notify users and allow them to decide if they will allow tracking of their digital footprints. This update complies with Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) privacy protection framework. Many users are expected to opt out of the tracking option when they receive a notification from the system for personal data privacy. The iOS 14 system sends a pop-up to users, alerting them the apps track their digital footprints, with an option to refuse the tracking. Apple said the move is being made in the name of privacy.

(Reuters photo) The military on Thursday said it was not behind a network of Facebook accounts that the social media giant took down on the grounds they were using deceptive behaviour to influence public debate. Marking the first time it had taken down Thai accounts alleged to be linked to the government, Facebook said on Wednesday it had removed a Thailand-based network that included 77 accounts, 72 pages and 18 groups on Facebook and 18 accounts on Instagram, citing "coordinated inauthentic behaviour". Facebook said in a report the operation was linked to the Thai military's Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) and targeted audiences in Thailand's southern provinces, where conflict has flared on and off for decades as insurgent groups continue a guerrilla war to demand independence.

(File photo, PEA Koh Phangan Facebook account) SURAT THANI: An anchor dropped by a navy ship damaged an underwater cable supplying power to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan on Monday, causing a widespread blackout, a Provincial Electricity Authority official said. Jakkrit Meedet, PEA's district manager, said the blackout affected tambons Bo Phut, Mae Nam and Maret of Samui district and some areas on Koh Phangan. The investigation revealed it was caused by damage to the 115kv underwater cable supplying power from Khanom district in Nakhon Si Thammarat to Koh Samui. The cable was damaged by an anchor dropped by HTMS Angthong, an amphibious transport dock, about two kilometres west of Samui, he said. The repair would take several days.

To overcome the problem, the PEA had deployed six mobile power-generating trucks to supply ... » Learn More about Navy ship’s anchor causes blackout on Samui, Phangan

DAILY RIDE. Acting Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua arrives at the Neda on a bicycle. PHOTO FROM CHUA INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT MANILA, Philippines—As he now bikes to work from his Ortigas home to the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) office in Pasig City, acting Neda chief and Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua is urging more bicycle lanes and other measures to encourage workers to bike to work to beat the lack of public transportation. Chua told the Inquirer on Monday (March 8) that the last time he regularly rode a bike was back in his high school years, “then my bike got old and I never got to do it again.” But since he was designated by President Rodrigo Duterte to head Neda in 2020, Chua said he resumed biking “partly for health reasons, to make me exercise more.” Chua got for himself a beginner, folding Tern bike, noting that bikes in general are less expensive than cars—one can buy them for as low as P4,000, to as high as ... » Learn More about Neda chief speaks from experience, urges more, safer bicycle lanes

SINGAPORE - The heartland shops in Chong Pang City, a neighbourhood centre in Yishun, might seem like traditional ones. But they have also gone digital, selling their products in an online marketplace, thanks to the Chong Pang City Merchant and Hawker's Association. Such merchant associations came under the spotlight during the Budget speech by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat on Tuesday (Feb 18) as organisations that play a critical role in upgrading these heartland enterprises. The e-marketplace for Chong Pang, which was launched in June last year, now has 29 retailers on board, across trades such as home appliances, optical products, furniture, and fruit and vegetables.
