Adobe chose a revolutionary cloud storage system for its popular video editor — and it could come to a computer near you

Adobe Premiere Pro customers including artists and video editors will have the backing of Storj’s decentralized storage technology.

One of the key selling points is that the firm’s storage network generates up to 83% less carbon per TB used than hyperscalers like AWS and Azure, Storj claims. This is because of the nature of its decentralized approach, which makes better use of underused capacity.

Storj also claims its network reduces cloud costs by up to 90%, while also showcasing speeds that are roughly two to three times faster than its hyperscaler rivals. Now, video editors and artists using Premiere Pro will be able to tap into the decentralized network while retrieving files from the cloud on their devices.

The future of cloud storage?

The company has grown significantly in the last year, announcing a 226% year-on-year growth, while enjoying key improvements to its underlying technology. 

Research, for example, published with the University of Edinburgh shows a two-to-four-times improvement in transfer performance since last year. It found retrieving large quantum physics datasets from Storj’s decentralized network reached 800 Mbps.

The company claims this is vindication for its reliance on parallelism, which is built into the Storj network in the way data is distributed across thousands of points across the world. This network – with short distances between storage points – helps it achieve fast transfer rates, and eliminates the slowdown that happens when data is moved across the Atlantic Ocean.

Decentralized cloud storage was also identified as a key disruptor by Forrester, with a report predicting that it’ll disrupt the status quo of centralized storage the more that computing moves to the edge.

Adobe’s integration of Storj into its Premiere Pro software underlines the company’s success in recent years, given Adobe is one of the most influential software companies in the creative industry. It comes after a number of new Storj partnerships in recent months, including with Toysmith, Acronis and Kubecost, among many others.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included).

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
