Audio player loading… The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are excellent phones, but no phone is totally immune to the occasional bug, and one that’s recently struck these handsets is causing horizontal lines to flash across the screen when they're being powered on or unlocked. This falls under the category of annoying rather than anything more serious, but it’s still not something you want to see on an expensive new phone, and – as spotted by MacRumors (opens in new tab) – it’s something a lot of people are reportedly experiencing. But it’s also something that should soon be fixed. In a memo from Apple and seen by MacRumors (opens in new tab) , the company acknowledges the bug and says that "Apple is aware of the issue and a software update is coming soon that will resolve the issue." So it’s hopefully not something you should have to put up with for long if you are a victim, and as it’s a software issue, rather than a hardware fault; a simple … [Read more...] about An annoying iPhone 14 Pro bug will soon be fixed

Audio player loading… AMD has issued a new update to resolve a firmware bug that caused performance issues for the new Ryzen 5 7600X CPU. The dodgy firmware - which we recently reported on - was causing some 7600X chips to underperform or simply not boot at all, with the new update being pushed out in record time by AMD to fix the issue. To keep things succinct, the previous AGESA ComboAM5PI 1.0.0.4 firmware was only affecting 7600X CPUs with two CCDs (also called chiplets). The 7600X doesn’t actually rely on AMD’s new dual chiplet design employed by more powerful CPUs in the Ryzen 7000 range such as the Ryzen 9 7950X , but we can reasonably assume that some 7600X units are in fact rejected dual-chiplet silicon that could be shipped with one CCD disabled. The iffy firmware was reportedly trying to boot the CPU off this disabled chiplet, resulting in some 7600X processors refusing to post at all. We commend AMD’s speedy work in sorting out this issue, as it will … [Read more...] about Ryzen CPU firmware bug is fixed, but AMD has bigger problems

WTF?! Akamai has unveiled a new security threat to Windows-based servers and data center machines based on a dangerous bug Microsoft fixed months ago. However, it seems almost no one bothered to install the much-needed patch. When it comes to dangerous cryptographic bugs on Windows, CryptoAPI is the gift that keeps on giving . The interface can be used by Win32 programs to manage security and cryptographic practices, like validating certificates or verifying identities. But CryptoAPI can also bring potentially critical security flaws to the aforementioned Windows platform, making identity and certificate spoofing easier. According to Akamai Security analysts, that's exactly what happened with the vulnerability known as CVE-2022-34689 . Disclosed by the US NSA and the UK National Cyber Security Center (NCSC), the "Windows CryptoAPI Spoofing Vulnerability" was patched by Microsoft in August 2022 but was publicly announced only in October 2022. According to Redmond's security … [Read more...] about CryptoAPI bug makes 99% of Windows servers vulnerable
