Proton is continuing to build out its Drive suite of productivity tools for its privacy-focused alternative to Google Docs and Microsoft Word. The latest update is to the Docs app, which now has a "suggesting mode." Proton claims that this is the "first and only encrypted, real-time collaboration feature designed for teams managing sensitive documents to streamline review processes and allowing seamless and secure collaboration." Suggesting mode should be familiar to anyone who's shared a Google Doc with someone else for feedback. It offers things like suggestions for modifying the text, tracked changes and a way to save a copy of the original version to make sure nothing's accidentally lost during the editing process. Proton Elsewhere, a new public links feature allows you to set permissions to read-only and apply an expiration date, giving you more control over shared documents. In the Proton Drive Windows app, you'll be able to see all of the files that collaborators have shared with you. It's possible to sync these for offline access as well. Since Proton debuted Docs in July, it has been expanding the app's feature set with options including PDF exporting, keyboard shortcuts, additional formatting tools and a word count function. With the addition of suggested mode, it's getting closer to having all of the features that folks have come to expect from the likes of Google Docs, making it more of a viable option for collaborative teams who are concerned about sharing documents containing sensitive information.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/apps/proton-brings-more-encrypted-collaboration-features-to-its-docs-app-110045848.html?src=rss

You don't have to take great pains to preserve your Switch to ensure that you can still play your favorite games on it years and years from now. Nintendo has revealed in its earnings report that the upcoming successor to the Switch will have backwards compatibility and will be able to run games made for the current console. In addition, Switch Online will also be available on the Switch 2, which means your saves stored on the cloud will be carried over and you'll be able to play NES, SNES and Game Boy titles on the new console. Nintendo explained that it's making Switch Online available on the upcoming console, because it thinks it's important for the company's future to "carry over the good relationship" it has built with its more than 100 million annual playing users to the new device. The main way to do so is to make use of the Nintendo Account, which ties a user's history to one account and enables the company to "maintain a continuous relationship" with them across console generations. Before the Nintendo Account was introduced, Nintendo had no easy way to carry a user's history and purchases over to the next console. "As a result, our relationship with the consumers was interrupted when a new system was purchased," it said. The company promised to reveal more information about the Switch 2 "at a later date," though it didn't say when exactly. In a recent event where we thought the new Switch could be announced, Nintendo launched an alarm clock instead. Based on its earnings results, it looks like people could be choosing to wait for the new console instead of buying the current Switch: The company had to downgrade its sales forecast for the fiscal year due to a big decline in console sales compared to the same periods last year. This is Furukawa. At today's Corporate Management Policy Briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well.

New details are continuing to surface about the hacking of US telecom companies by a China-linked group that targeted US officials and campaign staffers. Now, The Wall Street Journal reports that the hackers access was even greater than whats been previously reported, and that the communications of potentially thousands of Americans may have been impacted. Last week, The New York Times reported that FBI investigators suspected call logs and SMS messages had been accessed by the hacking group, known as Salt Typhoon. The group reportedly targeted the phones of diplomats and government officials, as well as people associated with both presidential campaigns. Now, The WSJ is reporting that the hackers, who were likely working for a Chinese intelligence agency, spent eight months or more in US telecom infrastructure, and that they may have been able to scoop up the data of thousands of people who were in contact with the targeted individuals. The Journal confirms earlier reports that the hackers limited their targets to several dozen select, high-value political and national-security figures. But the hackers, who reportedly exploited routers used by telecom firms, had the ability to access the phone data of virtually any American who is a customer of a compromised carrier a group that includes AT&T and Verizon. Both AT&T and Verizon declined to comment on the report.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/new-report-details-vast-spying-by-china-linked-telecom-hackers-010347224.html?src=rss
