A significant downgrade is the removal of the download feature, which allowed…

The vast and constantly updated pool of tweets from active users proved irresistible to xAI, leading to the automatic scanning of your “posts…

It only takes a few minutes on Reddit’s PC gaming hardware forums to see just how many gamers are worried their low-spec PCs can’t run the latest games. I’m in the same boat, with an aging PC that I’ve hesitated to upgrade for years, often spending my extra cash on vacations or the occasional Funko Pop for my car’s dashboard instead. From my own experience, I’ve learned that waiting for forum answers to questions like “Can my PC run this game?” is a waste of time. Forums are great, but PC specs are so specific that finding someone with a…

Secure Boot is a critical component of modern computer security, integrated into millions of PCs to prevent unverified software from loading via UEFI. It relies on cryptographic signatures in hardware components to ensure only trusted code runs on your PC. When these cryptographic keys are leaked, the consequences can be devastating.

Shockingly, 8% of firmware images released in the past four years are compromised, with 22 untrusted keys identified immediately. Ars Technica notes that “more than 200…

The possibility of Apple developing its own 5G modems has been a topic of speculation for years. Following a 2023 agreement to use Qualcomm’s modems for another three years, it appears Apple may still be planning to introduce its own 5G technology sooner. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested that the upcoming iPhone SE 4 and a streamlined version of the iPhone 17, both expected in 2025, could be among the first to feature Apple’s proprietary 5G modems. Apple’s pursuit of in-house modem technology has involved significant investments, including the $1 billion acquisition of Intel’s modem division in 2019. Although previous…
