what's that you're not quite ready for the tech news are you mad the tech news
waits for no man begin
turns out there's a reason that the Windows 10 october update screwed up so
many people's computers before microsoft was finally able to fix it so you might
already know that major Windows updates called b updates are released on the
second tuesday of each month known as patch tuesdays but microsoft revealed in
a blog post this week that the third and fourth weeks in each month well they're
called c and d updates which include bug
fixes and non-security related improvements so they can be texted a bit
before the next month's major b release these are apparently rolled out to users
who manually click the check for updates button in Windows settings meaning
these users are unwittingly becoming essentially beta testers but microsoft
says that they view these users as seekers who are looking for the newest
features whether they're polished or not even if that means that these features
will delete all their files which is what happened to seekers who got the
october update first some people might be complaining about this whole bcd
system but really clicking that button is kind of fun it's like a kinder
surprise you never know what you're gonna get do you like gambling yes you
do after qualcomm won an injunction in
chinese court potentially banning the sale of older iphones in china apple has
announced that a software update is coming that should prevent that from happening qualcomm says iphones infringe
on two of their patents involving resizing photos and managing apps on a
touchscreen display while the original injunction affected all iphones except
the 10s 10r and 10s max qualcomm just
went back to chinese court to try and get those newer phones banned as well
apple's software update should change iOS so that it does not infringe on
qualcomm's patents but if china's courts disagree apple says it'll be forced to
settle with qualcomm which should make for some fun meetings like the ones
