Like the Intel kernel-level flaw, the AMD problem could allow hackers to enter processors on millions of devices and steal data. These vulnerabilities are ironically located in what is meant to be a secured part of the CPU. This area is where the processor stores sensitive data and is meant to prevent malicious content entering a system. The flaws are worrying, but they are not easily accessed by attackers. Indeed, anyone wanting access would need to have control of the machine....

The most important addition to the update is a fix for a long-time problem where users would see an AMD chipset software installation error. Windows users would receive a window with the message “AMD Chipset Software is not responding”. Alongside this important fix, AMD is also adding a new Ryzen power plan available for Windows 11. Furthermore, the company has now made USB4 available on its drivers. Full Release Notes “Release Highlights...

Speaking during a Reddit AMA, Bill Gates suggested “the government’s ability to find money laundering and tax evasion and terrorist funding is a good thing. “Right now cryptocurrencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs so it is a rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way.” He argues the ability for cryptocurrencies to be used remotely removes some control regulators and authorities have. Doubling down on his concern, Gates said investing in the market is not wise....

Unlike other implementations, Chrome’s dark mode will change automatically when it’s enabled system-wide on Windows 10 or MacOS. This should reduce eyestrain when working in the evenings, and is a very welcome change to the browser. Still, the mode will do little to affect the content on web pages. Though Chrome’s interface is black, a lot of pages still use light colors. That includes Google search, which doesn’t have a toggle, though YouTube, Reddit, and a number of other sites do....

Deskmodder has published screenshots that show hints of Chromium Edge in the latest Windows Insider Skip Ahead branch preview. It seems these are still A/B testing files so won’t be visible to everyone. Nevertheless, if you are on Skip Ahead and want to see if you have the files, head to “C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\AppData\Local\MicrosoftEdge”. What this means for the actual launch of Chromium Edge is unclear. The Skip Ahead branch suggest services that are to be released in the future....

“We see nothing that indicates that Cioffi intended its invention to do anything other than protect ‘critical files’ as that concept is widely understood by those of skill in the art.” The statement references an earlier filing by Alfonso Cioffi and Allen Rozman in 2013. The technology in question is Chrome’s sandbox feature, which isolates suspicious content in a separate browser process. A federal court judge dismissed the case in 2014 following an agreement that “web browser process” did not meet the judge’s interpretation....

With that in mind, a newly discovered Dell patent will be welcomed by Microsoft. The documentation a foldable tablet PC that would run Windows 10 and possibly Microsoft’s Andromeda OS. In the filing, Dell describes a Windows 10 device with a foldable dual-screen. Discovered by Windows Latest, the patent is titled ‘Flexible information handling system display external hinge structure’ and was filed in June 2017. USPTO published the patent September 25 last year....

The idea of a folding screen device is explored in project Andromeda, Microsoft’s codename for the Surface Phone idea. One thing that is rarely considered is that Microsoft may not be interested in building the device itself. Perhaps the company will merely create the framework for OEMs to play with. According to a report from WinFuture that’s exactly what has happened between Redmond and Dell. The long-time Windows partner is said to be working on a Surface Phone inspired device codenamed Januss....

Speaking to the The Times, Omand said Microsoft knew that the move would hurt users in 2014. Private and public bodies are still reliant on the OS, with between 5 and 8 percent, more than Vista or 8. So far, the WannaCrypt ransomware has targeted more than 230,000 computers running Windows in 150 countries. It uses exploits stolen from the NSA such as ETERNALBLUE. A particularly bad case was the UK’s National Health Service, which lost access to patient data in 47 trusts....

According to ALumia, the company is working on a feature called Messenger Rooms, which will add a new dynamic to the app’s existing group video calls. However, the current feature is limited to Facebook friends. With Messenger Rooms, users can enter a group video call via a link. In other words, you won’t need a Facebook account to access the chat. When a link is clicked, it will open a guest session for the user through Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge....

The feature is currently rolling out to Nvidia graphics cards, but it’s joined by performance improvements via other means. By lowering the priority of setTimeout during page load, suspending unused tabs, and painting sooner during page load, Mozilla has managed to make things faster. On the usability front, Firefox 67 makes the toolbar and its overflow menu fully keyboard accessible. This should help for those with accessibility issues and generally makes browsing without using the mouse much easier....

The result of all this was a serious drop in the firm’s revenue and expectations that making a full recovery would take time. Speaking to reporters in Taipei, Gou signaled that’s not quite the case. He said the resumption of production has “exceeded expectations and imagination”. Supplies to its factories in China and Vietnam have returned to normal, he indicated. However, though the supply issues are beginning to clear up, demand is still a concern....

Importantly, this new tool may also one day extend to the Chrome browser, allowing it to match Microsoft Edge in terms of screenshot capabilities. Google is currently working on a flag that would allow Chrome on Android 11 to take a screenshot of the whole webpage. This means also capturing the page that is not visible to users because of screen size limitations. Because it is a Chrome tool and not an Android one, it is more than likely the feature would one day extend to the browser on other platforms....

Data analysts will routinely have to work with new information that their company collects. But, as we know, not all data is created or received equally. While some data will be neat, ordered, and easy to analyze with SQL, other pieces of data will escape categorization. Data comes in three primary forms, known as structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. Depending on its ability to be categorized, it will align with the characteristics of one of these three formats....
