The news is all over and almost every fan of Apple products is aware of it. But don’t get too excited yet, this is Apple we are talking about. A company that always wants to find a different way of doing everything. As you may already know, it was not entirely Apple’s decision to opt for USB-C ports.  The company  is just trying to comply with a new regulation by EU which requires all electronic devices to use the same type of charging ports. Apple will Restrict the Charging and Data Transfer Speed in iPhone 15 USB-C Ports According to  Apple  Analyst Kuo, Apple will restrict the advantages of using the USB-C in the iPhone 15 series. Apple will restrict the charging speed and data transfer speed of the USB-C to work with only MFI-certified chargers and cables. MFI here stands for Made for iPhone...

So if you opt to rent in a place that has CCTV cameras, it means that you consent to having footage of yourself recorded when you are either in the compound or on the premises. However, this does not take away a person’s right to privacy and their private information. The law (the Data Protection and Privacy Act) says that each of us is entitled to keep our personal information private unless we allow someone else to use it for a particular purpose. CCTV footage is personal data and should be treated as such. The owner of the CCTV system (the landlady) has a legal obligation to ensure that the footage is collected and processed for only the security purpose she put it up for, not to catch ‘cheaters’. Georgina could sue the landlady for giving Geoffrey access to the footage without her consent or for f...

Residents of Bukedea District witnessed a shocking incident on Wednesday 8-March-2023 when a group of individuals were caned for not attending a burial. The individuals, one woman and six men were reportedly found drinking alcohol during the funeral instead of paying their respects to the deceased. According to the video, the group was rounded up by members of the community and caned as punishment for their absence. Each of the individuals received more than two canes in front of a crowd of community members. The video has sparked outrage among residents, who are calling for an investigation into the matter. Some have expressed concern about the use of corporal punishment as a disciplinary measure, especially for something as seemingly minor as missing a funeral. The legality and morality of such a punishment have also been called into question, as it is a clear violation of human rights. Corporal punishment is often used as a disci...

But of late, Nalumansi is looking pale, ‘mbu’ the Kameeza money is not coming as it used to, and she thinks the ‘official wife’ may be the cause of her problems. Nalumansi wants to take matters to the law and wants the court to force ‘sugar zazzy’ to continue giving her kameeza money or officially ‘divorce’ her with some payment. WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? “Kameeza” money (what in law we call maintenance/ money or support given by one spouse to another) is not a legal requirement unless couples are separating, divorcing, or have agreed to it. It is not a legal right, so the court cannot enforce it unless you have a child. (the law puts a duty on a parent to look after their child) However, If the two (the married cou...

President Yoweri Museveni draw laughter from a Christian congregation on Thursday 16-2-2023 when he took a jab at Kampala Deputy Lord Mayor Doreen Nyanjura. The President while speaking as chief guest at the commemoration of Archbishop Janani Luwum Day in Kitgum District, described the 34-year-old FDC councillor and activist as “mad.” “In Runyoro-Rutooro you hear names like Nyanjura and Kenjura; there is a mad opposition girl called Nyanjura,” Museveni said. “It means she was born during the rain.” Museveni was speaking about the need for Kitgum and the greater Karamoja region to adopt crop irrigation in order to cope with the increasingly unreliable rainfall. “Water is needed all the time though the year, and if it’s not by rain we shall bring it by irrigation.” he said. “It is a big shame to hear in Africa that there is a war in Ukraine and Africans are dying of hunger because there is no...

#we_inform_the_uninformed . Two new security weaknesses discovered in several electric vehicle (EV) charging systems could be exploited to remotely shut down charging stations and even expose them to data and energy theft. The findings, which come from Israel-based SaiFlow, once again demonstrate the potential risks facing the EV charging infrastructure. The issues have been identified in version 1.6J of the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) standard that uses WebSockets for communication between EV charging stations and the Charging Station Management System (CSMS) providers. The current version of OCPP is 2.0.1. “The OCPP standard doesn’t define how a CSMS should accept new connections from a charge point when there is already an active connection,” SaiFlow researchers Lionel Richard Saposnik and Doron Porat said. “The lack of a clear guideline for multiple active connections can be exploited by attackers to disrupt and hijack the connection between the charge point and the CSMS.” Th...
