With new phones like the iPhone 13 and Pixel 6 either now available or soon-to-be released, the debate around the financial and environmental costs of buying smartphones rages on. Of course, some people will still need new phones every year, and others may just be getting their first phone. There are attendant issues with the annual upgrade cycle that affect your wallet and our planet, and certified renewed or refurbished phones are becoming more popular as a way to offset effects on both.

There's a huge market for refurbished iPads and with a new classic iPad out now, as well as a new iPad Mini, that market's only going to get bigger.
Generally speaking, something that's refurbished -- a refurb for short -- is a used product that's been tested or otherwise reconditioned by the manufacturer or a third party for resale. It could be something that was returned under warranty for a defect, or maybe its box was damaged in shipping, or it was a retail floor model used for demonstrations.
Going the refurb route can not only save you money compared with new models, but you can also get cheap older iPads that might no longer be available, but still meet your needs. Plus, it keeps perfectly good tech out of landfills.

The art of growing a startup business lies in “finding a path” that’s timely, practical and scalable. Many sensor startups bet their future on automotive. Prophesee, based in Paris, was one such early gambler.
As the global chip shortage drags on and demand for electronics exceeds supply, we hope that the market for refurbished electronic devices and a circular economy will gain more traction.
By now you have likely heard of the global microchip shortage or been impacted by it somehow. Chances are anything you bought online in the past year, especially if it was an electronic device, cost more and took longer to deliver. That is because microchips (aka semiconductors) are necessary at so many points along the electronics supply chain. Much of the focus has been on the fact that the manufacturing stage of our personal electronic devices is chip intensive; but the logistical side needs to be considered, as well: Cars, boats, planes, trains, delivery trucks — all motorized vehicles rely on microchips to get your order to you. It really makes you think differently when you go to buy a new laptop or phone.

Unless you are deeply rooted in the inner workings of internet search engine rankings, you may not know that organic search exists and differs from other search engine results. Take heart. You belong to a rather large club of unenlightened members on this technology.
With the right inquiries, though, you can remain oblivious to technical SEO and still put performance-driven organic search results to work in drawing more eyes to your company's website. That is what enterprise software company Botify brings to your marketing toolbox.

Intrinsic ID announced Zign RNG, a new offering enabling IoT chip providers and device makers to establish a high-security random number generator in software enabling it to be deployed on devices even after silicon fabrication to ensure a true source of randomness for IoT devices.
Random number generators (RNGs) are essential for cryptographic applications and form the foundation of security systems. For IoT devices, an RNG is generally implemented by incorporating hardware peripheral controllers, which are proving to be imperfect as a source for real randomness because they start with a deterministic input. A report from Bishop Fox shows critical vulnerabilities have been disclosed in hardware random number generators used in billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices whereby it fails to properly generate random numbers, thus undermining their security and putting them at risk of attacks.
