TechByter Worldwide 2019-06-09: After a Rough Start, On1 PhotoRaw 2019 Recovers. Short Circuits. Spare Parts.

Summary: After stumbling more than a little with the initial 2019 release of PhotoRaw, On1 has remedied most of the performance problems with the 2019.5 release. In Short Circuits: Not content to interfere only with US elections, Russia is now actively opposing development of 5G cellular networks in the United States with disinformation campaigns while encouraging 5G development in Russia. Scaremongers have been spreading concern about cellular signals and Wi-Fi for years even though there is no scientific evidence to support their outlandish claims. Your smart phone probably does a good job with high dynamic range photographs, but a real cameera (even a point-and-shoot camera) can do even better. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Apple is splitting ITunes into 3 separate applications and there's finally a new Mac Pro for those who need desktop power, but at a huge price. • Flipboard has been hacked. Although the service doesn't store any important information about users, there's still a cautionary tale here.
