By Adomati Dickson. When my daughter Robinah Lee Munguleni rang me, I was at College Inn Wandegeya. She said while crying, "Daddy, baba has died!" Daddy! as I often called you, Today, Saturday, December 9th, 2023, marks ecactly 4 years ever since you departed and left us in the hands of this cruel world. You used to sit under the mango tree where I now sit wondering whether you will come back. You produced us, raised us up, fed us, gave us medical care, housed us, dressed us, provided us with security etc. You taught us to relate well with *ALL* human beings. You taught us love. But above all daddy, you showed us how to love and believe in God and educated us. We would have been orphans if you never did all these. You loved us so much! We are proud of your life but only came to know you as a great daddy in the eyes of many when you had left us. You impacted on so many lives and it's what makes us strong. We promise to keep your legacy alive! You are dearly mis...

Since the invention of the smartphone, the topic of internet privacy has changed a lot. Internet privacy was once limited to what happened while seated at a computer desk. Today, our phones go with us everywhere, from meetings at work to intimate conversations with friends and family members. And unless you stop phone listening through settings changes and physical protections, it might become your biggest surveillance source yet. Microphone privacy deals with the data tracking that takes place as your phone passively listens to you.

By Adomati Dickson. Parliamentary election opinion poll for 2026-2031 puts Ejiku Robert at 80% ahead of all prospective candidates according to a recent survey conducted by a local NGO-ACTION FOR CITIZENS CHOICE. According to the NGO, the incumbent MP has performed so badly that he is at a paltry 20% as of December 1st, 2023. The survey which was carried out in Arua central division and Ayivu division of which the respondents were political, technical, religious, cultural and some powerful business moguls concluded that due to so many unfulfilled pledges by the incumbent such as the 200 million shillings he had promised to give the youth and women, the aborted fundraising which culminated into opening of an abandoned Youth Skilling Centre, the 6 coasters he hasn't procured for the 6 wards of the central division as pledged by him, the undelivered iron sheets for the Youth Centre provided by the deputy speaker of Parliament, sharp disagreement with his key agents and mob...

A new "post-exploitation tampering technique" can be abused by malicious actors to visually deceive a target into believing that their Apple iPhone is running in Lockdown Mode when it's actually not and carry out covert attacks. The novel method, detailed by Jamf Threat Labs in a report shared with The Hacker News, "shows that if a hacker has already infiltrated your device, they can cause Lockdown Mode to be 'bypassed' when you trigger its activation." In other words, the goal is to implement Fake Lockdown Mode on a device that's compromised by an attacker through other means, such as unpatched security flaws that can trigger execution of arbitrary code. Lockdown Mode , introduced by Apple last year with iOS 16, is an enhanced security measure that aims to safeguard high-risk individuals from sophisticated digital threats such as mercenary spyware by minimizing the attack surface . What it doesn't do is prevent the execution of m...

WASHINGTON — The C IA has sent out an internal email cautioning employees against posting political messages on social media after a senior officer posted a pro-Palestinian image on Facebook. The email to staff members was “simply a reminder of existing policy,” a U.S. official told NBC News. The warning was issued after the agency’s associate deputy director for analysis posted an image depicting a man waving a Palestinian flag that is sometimes used in commentary critical of Israel. The Financial Times first reported on the social media post. The career analyst who posted the image has not been disciplined, a person with knowledge of the situation said. The analyst has “extensive background in all aspects of the Middle East and this post was not intended to express a position on the conflict,” the person said. The analyst also has posted messages condemning antisemitism, the person added. Recommended A CIA spokesperson said in a statement: “CIA offic...

📸: Unsplash. Ana was invited by her boyfriend for a date. She suspected that he had prepared a surprise for her. She jumped into a taxi and went to visit him. On coming out of the taxi, she was so excited about where she was going that she forgot to look both ways on the road. A speeding truck came from the right while she was crossing in the middle of the road. When she saw the truck, she was in so much shock that she could not move. She saw her entire life flash before her eyes, she thought she was going to die. She just fell to her knees in the road, put her hands on her head and screamed loudly. The truck driver was hooting very loudly, and people had gathered and were screaming as they observed what was happening. Thankfully, the truck stopped right in front of her, and she was not harmed physically.     However, since that day Ana cannot sleep, she keeps seeing that moment in her dreams. She has lost peace and weight because of the emotional trauma of n...

📸: Hon Sarah Opendi. 📸: Ramathan Ggoobi. Secretary to Treasury, Ramathan Ggoobi has cleared Sarah Opendi (DWR Tororo) to proceed with the enactments of the Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill 2023, after he issued a certificate of financial implication, indicating that her bill won’t impose a charge on the consolidated fund. "Just yesterday, I saw the letter from the Secretary to Treasury, in response to our request for the certificate for financial implication and he did respond, but this has been overtaken  by events, because we had to rely on our Rules that give the MP 60days. And so, when he responds now to give me a certificate, with comments, it is beyond the 60 days rule. But the certificate was issued and it clearly shows that that there is no charge on the consolidated fund,” said Opendi. She made the revelation while appearing before Parliament's Health Committee to defend her Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill 2023. While appearing before ...

Francis Zaake (Mityana Municipality) has asked the Rules & Discipline Committee to halt investigations into allegations that he used derogatory words to attack Juliet Kinyamatama (Rakai DWR), until the ban imposed by Speaker Among on Opposition MPs not to attend committee sittings for boycotting plenary sittings is lifted. Zaake made his request through his lawyer Elias Lukwago who said that following the pronouncement of the ban, Zaake isn’t in position to take part in the Committee proceedings to which he is a key witness. Lukwago said, "If he is to appear here as a witness, the lawyer has to be here. The lawyer can’t be a witness because he is being investigated as Member of Parliament, he isn’t being investigated, he isn’t being investigated as an outsider or stranger." However, Lukwago’s request was met with protest from Charles Onen, Vice Chairperson Rules Committee who insisted that Zaake was appearing as a witness not MP before the Committee, an asse...

  📸: Unsplash. Last week, God finally smiled at Kyobe. He bet on 7 football matches and guessed the correct scores and winners of all of them. He won 32 million, and being the ‘responsible’ person he is, he hurried to his bank Kafufu Bank LTD, on Monday to pay back the loan of 13 million he got in August. To his surprise, the bank refused to take the exact amount that was the balance and insisted that he keep paying slowly until next year as agreed. Kyobe is tired of that loan and wants to know if he is not allowed to repay his loan earlier than agreed.    WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? According to the law, people are allowed to make any contract between themselves as long as it is not for something illegal, and the law or government will not interfere with them. This includes things such as getting loans and borrowing money.    When a bank gives someone a loan, they plan to make a profit on that loan through interest (a certain amount of money a person pa...
