Uniquely, many areas in the country are empty and uninhabited.  Reporting from detikEdu, Tuesday (29/10/2024), the population density level in Australia is only around 3.25 people per square kilometer. If you look at the population distribution map, the center of the continent looks very empty because the majority of Australia's population lives in cities close to the coast.  Quoting Britannica, someone who flies 3,200 km to Sydney from Darwin in the north or to Sydney from Perth in the west can see the appearance of an uninhabited area and mostly just desert. Most people only live around the coast and are rarely seen in a very wide area.  It's so quiet, in Australia, a farm covering an area of ​​40,000 hectares or around 400 km² ca

The Russians hope that the growing number of lawsuits against the US-based company will spur Google to act.  Google stopped advertising in Russia from March 2022 and stopped monetization on content deemed to exploit, ignore or support Russia's war in Ukraine. Since then, more than 1,000 state-supported YouTube channels and more than 5.5 million videos have been blocked.  According to a report by Russian business newspaper RBC, a lawsuit filed by 17 Russian TV channels against Google in a Russian court has reached 2 undecillion rubles (with 36 zeros), an amount described as symbolic by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.  “This number captures the essence of our channels' demands against Google,” Peskov told report

Don't Slack: Continue Improving Cybersecurity Darren Guccione, CEO dan Co-founder Keeper Security HOLIDAY NEWS: October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. While awareness is critical in our increasingly dangerous cyber landscape, threats to organizations and individuals are growing in scale and sophistication, which is why taking action is now paramount.  Recent research shows that 95% of IT leaders believe that cyberattacks are more advanced than ever, largely due to the accessibility of AI technology. Worryingly, this threat will only continue to grow.  Awareness serves as a starting point for a safer digital world in cyberspace, but it is critical for everyone to take proactive measures to protect themselves online. These steps don't have to be monumental – often, returning to fundamental practices is the best approach.  Important habits, such as strong password security and regular software updates, remain important regardless of the sophistication of the threat.

However, the size of the fines has ballooned to unprecedented levels over the past 4 years, since a court case began in Russia against the tech giant.  Now the breach has cost the tech giant 2 undecillion rubles.

Alphabet CEO Says 25% of Coding at Google Is the Result of AI AI can apparently be used for anything.

This is also approved by Google.  The company that created Gemini apparently relies a lot on AI in their company. It is proven that a small portion of coding in companies already uses AI.  Alphabet CEO, Sundar Pichai Reveals 25% of Coding at Google is Created by AI Google CEO said a quarter of coding is done by AI From the 3rd quarter 2024 financial discussion meeting, Alphabet CEO, Sundar Pichai revealed that they have entrusted AI for coding.

Russia fines Google USD 20 decilion A Russian court recently imposed a fantastic fine on Google—worth around USD 20 decilion—for allegedly blocking Russian media content on its platform. Yes, maybe we have never even heard of that number because the number is extraordinarily large.  This unreasonable figure even far exceeds the estimated world GDP figure, which is around USD 100 trillion. So it is certain that the fine is impossible to pay.  Why did Russia fine Google 20 decilion?  This case actually started in 2020 when YouTube, which is owned by Google, blocked the Russian ultra-nationalist channel, Tsargrad. This blocking is a response to US sanctions imposed on the channel owner.  Then, when Russia began invading Ukraine in 2022, Google blocked even more Russian media. So now there are 17 stations that are suing Google.  A Russian court also ordered Google to restore access to these channels, and imposed an initial fine of 100 thousand rubles per day. This fine increase
