Software zire m150

Arriving in a sealed plastic retail display type container, my first impression of the Zire was one of annoyance and waste. Annoyance because the plastic packaging is a freaking pain to get open without a knife, scissors or abnormally sharp teeth. Waste because the container will not be accepted by most recycling centers I'll hop on a soap box for a second and say that I feel this type of packaging is irresponsible.

We don't need more crap like this clogging up our landfills Ok, I'm hopping off the soap box now. Once I actually got my hands on the Zire also known as the m , I was pleasantly surprised by its size and feel. I guess I was thinking that it was going to feel as cheap as its price tag. On the contrary, it is a very solid little PDA. It passed my squeeze and creak tests with flying colors.

Even shaking it yielded no rattles. It has a nice weight and feels comfortable to hold and use. The perfect shirt pocket size. Is it just me, or does the Zire look vaguely familiar?

The iPOD springs to mind every time I see its white 'face'! I'm curious to see if Palm will sell Zires in other colors in the future. Unlike the m, and , the face plate on the Zire is not removable. The front is a very shiny white plastic that almost looks like enameled metal. Style-wise, I find it more attractive than the m, and I never really liked the bulbous look of those models. The Zire's display is almost identical in size to the m, and It is a mono display and does not have a backlight.

The Zire could have been made by Apple, with a clean, white fascia uncluttered by buttons. Only the Calendar and Address Book buttons survive, along with the vital up and down keys. This will cause a problem with third-party apps that assume the lost buttons' existence, but otherwise simply makes the Zire easier for the first-time Palm buyer to use. Another sign that Palm is targeting the less demanding user is the specification. And there's no memory slot for adding more.

The lack of a memory slot also helps Palm keep the Zire to a respectable 14mm thick, and it's actually the lightest Palm ever - it weighs just g. The screen itself is easy to read, whether in bright sunlight or in subdued, office conditions. Also note the lack of a docking cradle. For yes, the m doesn't use AAA batteries, instead relying on an internal lithium-ion unit. We know this is anathema to many people, but so long as you take the power supply with you on longer journeys, it's a great solution.

We used the Zire intensively for several days, and there was still no sign of the battery running dry. So would we recommend it? Well, power users will be frustrated by the lack of memory and should wait to see what Palm produces under its newly announced Tungsten brand.

But for everyone else, the Zire is an absolute bargain. Buy it. Dimensions: 73 x 14 x mm. Weight: g. However, the price needs to drop even further if it's to become a compelling purchase for first-time buyers. Two serious security vulnerabilities were recently found in AWS services, but because they were responsibly reported and the cloud biz responded quickly, no harm appears to have been done. On Thursday, Orca Security published details about Superglue and BreakingFormation , vulnerabilities in AWS Glue and AWS Cloud Formation that allowed attackers to access data for other customers and to access files and make server-side requests to internal web services infrastructure.

AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service for preparing data for subsequent processing. But thanks to an internal misconfiguration, Orca Security researchers were able to obtain more information than should have been allowed. Although the companies faced the highest attrition rates in three years and were forced to raise hiring targets, increasing use of technology during the pandemic has given a wide range of verticals a reason to shift from data centres to the cloud.

In turn, the pandemic's subsequent digitisation race has presented the IT consulting companies with a thriving market. If there is sand or dirt in the spaces you can also use a thin piece of paper to shovel it out. If you find that your screen is working, but the buttons are not functioning you may need to do a soft reset. To do a soft reset, locate the small reset button on the back side of the device.

Use a pin-like object to insert into the hole, and keep it in there for 3 to 5 seconds. After you release the pin, your device should indicate the reset is complete.

Make sure that the buttons are now functioning. If the buttons are still not functioning after cleaning the buttons and performing a reset, you may have to replace the buttons. Please refer to our repair guide to complete this task. The device connectors could be either damaged or bent in a way that they can not perform correctly. Since the connectors are attached to the motherboard, you may have to replace the motherboard.

Please refer to our repair guide in order to replace the motherboard. Your battery may have reached the point where it is dead and can longer hold a charge.
