turns out there's a reason that the Windows 10 october update screwed up so
0:13
many people's computers before microsoft was finally able to fix it so you might
0:18
already know that major Windows updates called b updates are released on the
0:23
second tuesday of each month known as patch tuesdays but microsoft revealed in
0:27
a blog post this week that the third and fourth weeks in each month well they're
0:31
called c and d updates which include bug
0:34
fixes and non-security related improvements so they can be texted a bit
0:38
before the next month's major b release these are apparently rolled out to users
0:43
who manually click the check for updates button in Windows settings meaning
0:48
these users are unwittingly becoming essentially beta testers but microsoft
0:53
says that they view these users as seekers who are looking for the newest
0:57
features whether they're polished or not even if that means that these features
1:01
will delete all their files which is what happened to seekers who got the
1:05

1:36
touchscreen display while the original injunction affected all iphones except
1:40
the 10s 10r and 10s max qualcomm just
1:44
went back to chinese court to try and get those newer phones banned as well
1:48
apple's software update should change iOS so that it does not infringe on
1:52
qualcomm's patents but if china's courts disagree apple says it'll be forced to
1:56
settle with qualcomm which should make for some fun meetings like the ones
