ah yes title is Intel joking
video calling app Zoom has exploded in
popularity during the covid pandemic which is why it was especially
concerning when two not one but two zero
day vulnerabilities were discovered in the macOS version the flaws could give
a local attacker meaning one that has physical access to the system root
privileges meaning they could access a device's microphone and camera but
zoom's Windows app also has a vulnerability that could let hackers
steal a user's credentials and then there's also a flaw that could leak
users email addresses and photos to complete strangers Zoom is apparently
working on fixes but it's just sad you
know like if only there were some alternative to this instead of just this
one app that no one's ever heard of until this year it's just it's so
frustrating nobody uses Hangouts Riley also I know
you're a figment of my imagination Intel has apparently chosen April Fool's Day
to officially unveil their 10th gen mobile processors at the top end of the
lineup the core I9 10 980hk sports 8
course and 16 threads and I guess the
leaks were true because the flagship part does indeed have a 5.3 gigahertz
single core turbo boost the 10980 HK is
also the only processor in the lineup which is unlocked so you can try to
ignite your pants on fire should you so desire assuming you can afford one
normally a mobile gaming CPU announcement wouldn't be that big of a
deal there haven't been many changes for a while but this news is coming just on
the heels of AMD's 4th gen ryzen mobile processors and those are turning out to
be pretty freaking awesome so it's more important than ever that Intel's Parts
keep up can they do it there's no one here as I
mentioned it is April Fool's the day that tech companies traditionally announce fake products in the spirit of
making bad jokes you know but the number
of pranks being pulled is significantly diminished this year Microsoft did just
file a patent for recording users subconscious thoughts though as a way to
mine cryptocurrency um honestly we can't tell whether that
one's real or not pubg released a new Mode called fantasy Battle Royale which
