A system that thousands of schools and universities use was offline Thursday during a cyberattack, creating chaos as students tried to study for finals and underscoring education’s dependence on technology. The hacking group named ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the breach at Canvas, said Luke Connolly, a threat analyst at the cybersecurity firm Emisoft. Instructure, the company behind Canvas, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment or questions about whether the system was taken down as a precaution or because the hackers knocked it offline.

Dolby Atmos is everywhere. I’ve seen wireless speakers and soundbars with Dolby Atmos support. I’ve used streaming services touting spatial audio powered by Atmos. Most recently, the new Motorola phone I’m reviewing has Dolby Atmos speakers. Frankly, I think Dolby is playing too loose with the Atmos brand. If the catchy name is on basically every audio product and streaming service, it’s hard to know what seeing the Dolby Atmos logo actually tells you. The one thing you should know about Dolby Atmos is that not all Atmos content is the same quality. There are many misconceptions about Dolby Atmos,…
