Today's Story Highlights

A Peek at Our Wireless Future
Last week I attended a Qualcomm event that took me through the coming
wave of both 5G and WiFi 6 products, touched on the millimeter wave, and
at least spoke to 6G. From this I think I can begin to picture the world
as it will exist by the middle of the next decade, and it is kind of
fascinating. Qualcomm has spent nearly $50B -- yes billion -- advancing
its wireless initiatives.

Spotlight on Cybersecurity Awareness: Own IT, Secure IT, Protect IT
Cybersecurity should be a concern for all businesses -- large and small.
Cybersecurity also should be a concern for consumers, government
agencies, and basically anyone who relies on the Internet in our
increasingly connected world. Among efforts to focus attention on the
threatscape is designating October as National Cyber Security Awareness
Month.

ArcoLinux Eases the Way for the Arch-Curious User
ArcoLinux is a big change for the better for anyone switching from
another Linux distro to the Arch infrastructure. ArcoLinux previously
was known as "ArchMerge Linux." It is a rolling update distribution
based on Arch Linux, but it offers an unusual learning path to make
assimilating into the Arch architecture a more pleasant experience.
ArcoLinux is a continuation of ArchMerge Linux.

Amazon Enlists 30 Partners in Voice Interoperability Initiative
Amazon and dozens of partners have joined in a Voice Interoperability
Initiative. Their aim is to support multiple, interoperable voice
services on a single device so customers can access the one they want by
saying the appropriate wake word. Companies involved in the initiative
will work to accelerate the state of the art in machine learning and
wake word technology.

Xiaomi Unveils Mi 9 Pro 5G and Wraparound-Screen Mi MIX Alpha
Xiaomi has introduced a refresh of the Mi 9 Pro with support for 5G and
a groundbreaking smartphone with a wraparound display. The Mi 9 Pro 5G,
with a base price equivalent to $520, works with 5G offerings of China's
three main carriers -- China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom --
and supports speeds from 1.78 Gbps to 2.02 Gbps, or four times the speed
of typical 4G services.

Art Project Uncovers Bias in AI Training Models
A website created to gather faces for an art project has created a
controversy over the use of AI to classify human beings. The faces
collected at the ImageNet Roulette site are being incorporated into a
work of art in Milan. ImageNet Roulette "acts as a window into some of
the racist, misogynistic, cruel, and simply absurd categorizations
embedded within ImageNet," the creators wrote.
