The rollout of macOS 15, AKA Sequoia, has broken some major cybersecurity tools, including those from fan favorite CrowdStrike. We really went through something together. Though I suppose it's only fair for CrowdStrike to have a problem on Mac after that Windows issue, every system administrator drank to forget. But great news guys, this time CrowdStrike isn't responsible apparently. CrowdStrike has had to delay official support until there's a macOS update and told TechCrunch to direct its questions to Apple. Apple of course was more than willing to say, absolutely nothing at all. These issues appear to be caused by networking bugs in Sequoia, according to both iOS security expert, Patrick Wardle and Microsoft, whose Defender for Endpoint on Mac software was also affected. Wardle even claimed on Twitter that Apple knew about this before Sequoia came out and the company decided to just release it anyway. What's worse, users are finding out that Sequoia is also blocking VPNs and third-party browsers. In some cases, Firefox and Chrome end up blocked by the macOS firewall after users upgrade with no obvious way to unblock them in the UI. This time, it doesn't just work. And software engineer, Václav Jacek, says the fix requires Mac enjoyers to use terminal, like barbarians. I paid thousands of dollars for fancy virtual buttons. Where are they? And why won't they work? The rollout of iPhone 16 also isn't going super great for the fruit fraternity. Multiple 16 Pro and Pro Max users are experiencing touchscreen issues where some taps and swipes are apparently being ignored by the device. It's thinking about something else right now. Stop bothering it. Why won't you scroll? What? Apparently the screen becomes unresponsive when your hand first touches the screen area next to the new camera control button. Also known as the spot your hand is very likely to touch first when using the screen with your right hand. On a more positive note about the iPhone 16, Apple has actually shared full repair manuals for all 16 models. And it turns out the phones are impressively repairable for iPhones, but yeah, still. iFixit actually gave the iPhone 16 and 16 plus a seven out of 10 score. This is partly due to the battery adhesive featured on those two specific models. The adhesive becomes unstuck in response to low electrical current. You simply need a power source and two alligator clips. If you're wondering what alligator clips are, they're just like crocodile clips. But they'll see you later instead of in a while. The U.S. government has proposed banning Chinese and Russian software and components from being put into vehicles with a built-in internet connection. And that's like all present day cars. So this is a pretty big deal. The White House put out a press release saying the government is concerned that foreign adversaries could use the cameras and sensors of modern cars to collect passenger data and even record detailed information about American infrastructure. The White House seems concerned that such information could then be used to sabotage that infrastructure. Keep that sabotage point in your mind for a minute because the proposed legislation wouldn't just ban vehicle connectivity systems, i.e. hardware and software allowing vehicles to connect to the outside world via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, et cetera. The ban also covers automated driving systems, which I'm pretty sure means the government thinks that said sabotage will be performed with your car. That's cool. My ongoing list of upcoming tech nightmares didn't have getting forcibly driven into the electrical grid by the Chinese government on it yet. Nice. Currently, there aren't that many China or Russia linked cars and components on the market yet, but Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said they wanna act before such things become commonplace. Some automakers have said they'll need more time to comply, citing difficulty finding alternate suppliers. You know what? I think my next car will be a 1999 Toyota Tercel. Very reliable. There's parts available. I want a 72 port bento. Quick bits are light and breezy, like a cucumber and cream cheese finger sandwich. Well, now I just want some finger sandwiches. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, senior executives from Samsung and TSMC traveled to the United Arab Emirates to discuss building chip-making mega factories in the wealthy Middle Eastern country and modern day slave state. There are a few potential roadblocks. Chip manufacturing requires large amounts of extremely clean water, and most of the engineering staff would need to be brought in from overseas. The Emiratis are offering to fund both projects as a way of developing their own domestic semiconductor manufacturing sector, like a wealthy and kindly uncle who offers to pay your college tuition so long as you don't bring up the sweatshop he's running out of the shed in his backyard. Those people want to be there. They're my buddies. Raspberry Pi expert, and man, I'd like to be my dad, Jeff Geerling, unfortunately had his voice stolen by AI. Dad, no! Geerling published a video demonstrating how hardware supplier, Elecro, was using his voice for a series of videos on the company's YouTube channel. You're not gonna believe this, but they did not get his consent. Geerling has received a response from Elecro's CEO containing an apology and an offer of compensation for any losses caused by the incident. Jeff, you can get that $5 million you lost back. I'm not, I can't wink very well. Nah, he wouldn't lie, he's too sweet. And that's why I want him to be my dad. What?

In a telegram message, Durov proclaimed that the app is willing to disclose users IP addresses and phone numbers if it receives a valid order from authorities confirming you're suspected of criminal activities that violate the terms of service. So all you gotta do is only commit TOS-friendly crimes. It's the perfect loophole. I'm using telegram to shoplift. A new MSI power supply sports not one, but two 12V2X6 sockets, an updated version of the 12V high power connector most famous for its predilection towards arson. The model's called the MEG AI 1600T. So while it's ostensibly geared to power AI accelerators, PC Gamer wonders whether the RTX 5090 could require so much power that it gets split across two 600W connectors. Another news item to consider, this new CSUNNIC Prime PX2200W power supply. Standard North American plugs can't even deliver enough juice for this thing. What kind of GPU would need that much power? And why do I want it, despite the potential fire risk? There's something inside me that's broken. And British researchers have laser engraved the entire human genome onto a near indestructible 5D memory crystal. And that's our show for today, see you later. No, they didn't have to get the multiverse involved to pull this off. 5D actually stands for the number of dimensions that can be used to encode information, two optical dimensions and three spatial dimensions. We're not getting sucked into a black hole today. Everything's fine. The crystal's ultra durable silica glass can withstand extreme temperatures, tons of pressure and extensive radiation exposure. Finally, a hard drive alternative that can take a bullet. I keep losing all my hard drives that way. These crystals could last billions of years, possibly long enough that the Magpie people who replace us might be able to develop cloning technology and make their very own Anthropocene Park. Do do do do do do. Roar. And I hope you weren't too preoccupied with whether or not you could come back on Wednesday for more tech news to stop and think about whether you should come back on Wednesday for more tech news.
