i love it so now that the big boy phones from apple and oneplus are announced motorola
and lg have arrived to hawk their wares as well the motorola edge plus is the
company's first real flagship tier phone in four years and it's got the specs to
match still don't care exactly snapdragon 865 12 gigs of RAM a 90 hertz
screen and a 108 mega megahertz
megapixel sensor as part of its triple rear camera setup but motorola appears
to think the phone's big innovation is its curved edge waterfall display never
seen that before that's straight out of a samsung phone circa 2016
and it also costs a thousand bucks get out of here
hello moto lg on the other hand unveiled their
velvet phone with a snapdragon 765 inside with the most interesting feature
being a headphone jack and i mean actually
interesting yeah that alone makes me want it more than the moto i'm sorry
motorola you were so cool once you should try bringing back the razer ah
you tried that a security vulnerability in iOS has been actively exploited by
hackers since at least january 2018 according to a report published by cyber
security firm zek ops the bug allows an
infected email to run malware on iphones and ipads without even needing the user
to open the email the malware doesn't grant hackers control over the full
device but does allow control over emails in the apple mail app that's
enough can you imagine someone just creating hundreds of drafts
which i then have to sort through to find the real ones
horrible that's the that's the worst scenario i could come up with drunk
drafting apple says a patch is coming to fix the vulnerability but if you're
worried you can use gmail or another email client because those aren't
affected by this bug and really you should have been doing that already
apple mail and if you needed a final shove to
switch from playing cs go to valorant the full source code for cs go and team
fortress 2 has leaked it's unclear how
the code got out with some accusing tyler mcvicker of valve news network
mcvicker denies this though and says he's cooperating with valve's legal team
to get to the bottom of this now the code is actually from 2017 so it might
not be completely up to date but the leak has ignited fears that bad actors
could develop exploits based on the code and hack your pc while you're trying to
headshot people acting career didn't turn out
fat people bad actors

software and in particular it's kernel level driver in response developer riot
games says it's launching an expanded bug bounty program which will pay those
who discover security vulnerabilities but no bounty is going to make those
characters as cool as the overwatch gay make an overwatch movie blizzard

new features are being added to video calling apps in abundance now that more
people are working from home with the latest innovation being noise reduction
i'm boarding in a minute but let's dive in real quick google meet added the
feature this week and NVIDIA actually released noise reduction software called
rtx voice although as barnacles himself pointed out with a small tweak you don't
actually need an rtx card to run it although it would undoubtedly be
decidedly less glorious i love that guy speaking of NVIDIA the company's GeForce
now game streaming service has gained a few more ubisoft titles while at the
same time losing other titles from xbox game studios and warner bros to
compensate users NVIDIA will make the service free until june so if you want
to play ubisoft games
and basically nothing else and oh happy day fortnite has finally made it onto
the play store although it's not quite a happy day for epic games as the move
means that the company has essentially lost its big fight with google over
paying the 30 distribution tax google says it's better for apps like fortnite
to be on the on the store instead of outside the store to protect from
malware but have you seen all the malware written apps on the play store
lately google are any of them fortnite though that's a good point
i didn't think about that all right that's enough of this nonsense come back
on friday for more tech news i'll have it piping hot and ready for it
jeez hopefully that's not gonna be there no
promises all right
