Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Apple’s doing it AGAIN”.
Oh, You would you would love if I just gave you the tech news, wouldn’t you Oh yeah, You would love that Pfft. You probably wouldn’t think a mouse would be responsible for a major security issue.. But that’s just what happened with Razer’s mice over the weekend.. That’S right: Razer is training their growing cyborg mice., A security researcher on Twitter posted screen cap footage of how the vulnerability works. You plug in a Razer mouse or it’s wireless dongle, then Windows update, will fetch the installer program and run it with system privileges.
Uh, oh, Which allows you to open up File Explorer and Powershell, also with elevated privileges, making it easier for a bad actor to install malware.. The good news is that this attack can’t be carried out remotely., You need actual physical access to a computer and a Razer mouse to do. It. [ James ] Look out libraries, It’s kind of weird there at the at the local library everyone’s bringing in these gaming. Mice Razer is working on a fix, but in the meantime, if anyone shady shows up at your door with a Razer mouse, just don’t answer. It., It looks like the Mac Mini is going to be getting some big changes, soon. Merry Christmas ya, filthy animal [, James ], And a Happy New Year. And a Happy New Year.
It looks like the Mac Mini is gon na, be getting some big changes soon.. It’S going through puberty., Although we’ve already gotten a Mac Mini with Apple’s new M1 chip inside it didn’t feature many other changes from the previous Intel models.. However, signs are pointing to a new Mac Mini that not only has the updated M1X processor.
But other significant modifications that will make it more high end. Louis Vuitton’s, involved. [ James ] Ethernet ports. Oh, my gosh: can you imagine, With the new Mini expected, to feature more ports and a different design with maybe a magnetic power connector and a plexiglass top surface, We’ll probably end up seeing these M1X models? This fall around the same time. Apple is expecting to debut.
It’S new MacBook Pros., If you’re a fan of Android Auto but you’ve already upgraded your phone to new Android 12 beta, you might have noticed you can’t use Android Auto on your phone screen, while driving any more [ James ]. Take these training wheels off Google. Ah, Let me live, The move comes as Google tries to get users onto Google Assistant Driving Mode instead, which is actually quite similar, except it’s more of a feature set that integrates into existing apps rather than a separate app.. This change will only really affect those who don’t have an Android, Auto compatible screen built into their cars and instead use it directly from the phone, with a clamp to go on your dash or wind shield..
The new driving mode is supposed to simplify the experience for drivers, as many found it easier to just interact with the phone via voice than use the phone app’s clunky UI., I’m just waiting for the time when we don’t even have phones – and we just think things. And they happen. [ James ]. Take me to the consulate. *Laughs*. Now it’s time for Quick Bits bought to you by iFixit.

It weighs 300 grams less than the original model, which James tells me … [ James ], It’s about a third of a keyboard. And there’s also a base stand that can be adjusted with a thumb screw instead of needing to bust out your old screwdriver., Which actually Isn’T that bad to do if you got iFixit like I said., Of course it doesn’t look like this PS5 will be any easier to get your hands on than the old one. So what’s the point, Just …
kick the wheel. Around. Microsoft has some egg on it’s face today. After 38 million sensitive records were breached and the default settings of it’s Power Apps are apparently to blame.
These records included, COVID vaccination status, social security numbers and home addresses stolen from American Airlines, government bodies and Microsoft. Itself. [ James ] No-o-o Wait what apps had all that information, The Power Apps … they’re holding onto power..
Earlier this month, the Poly cryptocurrency network was hit by a hacker that stole over $ 600 million dollars worth of digital coin.. Well, the hacker finally returned. The rest of the money today and Poly has even offered a bug, bounty reward and a job as it’s chief security advisor.. So who said crime doesn’t pay Disclaimer, don’t actually go out and commit crimes as a way to get a job.. Although that’s what that’s? What white hat hacking is. Hackers are stealing our jobs. Speaking of crypto PayPal has finally started offering the ability to buy and sell crypto on it’s platform outside of the US. With customers in the United Kingdom.
Seeing the feature, roll out., BitCoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and BitCoin Cash. Will be supported along with transaction amounts between 1 and 15,000 of Her Majesty’s pounds.. Soon we’ll be saying Her Majesty’s … NFT’s.
She’s got she’s hoarding them. [ James ], Just go. And CPU AIO coolers, with little screens on them are nothing new, but one manufacturing is really pushing the limit here as Barrowch. I don’t know if that’s what you’re saying i-if, that’s what you say, But they released a model with a 1440p display..
The idea is to display tons of data from Aida64, offering users a lot more detail than just current temperatures and because it uses HDMI, you can even use it as a very, very small monitor. [ James ]. I would love to bend over and look at my PC rather than just opening Aida64.. We don’t even have enough laptops for 1440p screens, but we’re getting them from freaking coolers.
I’M upset What about the gamers Come back on Wednesday for more tech news And subscribe. We never tell people to do. That. [ James ] Tabs are wide open on Wednesday, Hot and cold..
It’S a party .
