Ubisoft is shortly releasing Rainbow Six Siege for the
Chinese market. However it will not contain the same
game experience than the usual version for EMEA.
Especially graphic design elements had to be removed.
Well it seems as if Apple always has to deal with some
lockscreen bugs here and there. With Group Facetime

the lockscreen, it is possible to view contact details.
With AMD having shown the Threadripper 32core
monster Intel has now released information about
it’s next-generation Advanced Performance server

GrayKey, a little box used by law enforcement facilities to
reveal information and data from locked iPhones has been
rendered useless with the release of iOS 12. Although the
box may still retrieve unencrypted files and metadata…
It is sort of a curse. Every attempt to make one’s life easier
with modern protocols for WLAN, Bluetooth and other
mobile wireless solutions also brings up new problems.
One of these affect all iOS devices running iOS12.0.1 or older
There you have it… new iPad Pros, a new Mac Mini and

At 10am EDT / 3pm MET Apple will open it’s additional
event as a followup to the event on September 12th.
We expect new iPads, Macs and MacBooks to show up!
On PCs the RAM size is limited to 16GB per bank but yet
only 8GB are common and available. For faster RAM you
will have to take even smaller 4GB modules as the speed
takes it’s toll. But Samsung has set a new RDIMM record.
Microsoft gets green light from the EU commission to
acquire Github, the largest collaboration development
network for software, The price is about 7.5 billion US$
and with this one of Microsoft’s larger acquisitions.
Now it’s official: The iPhone Xs (Max) has a similar
performing camera as the Huawei P20 Pro tri-camera
phone. This means that Apple is capable of getting
very good images out of the classic 2-camera setup.
Highly anticipated we were a bit disappointed that Apple
didn’t show the new iPad lineup at the Apple Event earlier
this year. But with the upcoming event, a 2nd edition of
the Apple Event if you want to call it like this, we hay hope.
…or what can we achieve with a given size limit for the
binary? Today’s entry deals with two extreme demos
that have been shown on the demozoo competition in
2013. One demo is 64KB and the other just 4 KB!
In 2013 Winamp was stuck on it’s last version 5.666 and
hasn’t been developed on since then. But on last friday
the developers have reported that Winamp 5.8 has hit
the light and is released now. And that’s just the start…
Is this the tablet of the future? A concept has shown
a tablet that looks more like a scroll. And the mecha-
nism is similar. Either you can use the tablet like a
small version of an advertising column or unscrolled.
On September 12th, 2018 Apple has shown it’s
latest iPhone models (XS, XS Max, XR) as well as
the Apple Watch Series 4. The October event is

Socionext has announced a new chip series that will
be capable of processing 8K video and send it over
HDMI v2.1 – Yes, a new version of HDMI is spotted!

We all know this. We launch our browser, we type an URL
and – bingo – there’s our desired content (hopefully!). But
fewer already know that behind a website there’s a large
server farm. LowTech Magazine however is special!
We all know it: We launch our favourite browser and
suddenly after an update that darn thing is driving us
nuts with new error messages we haven’t seen before.
In this case it’s the SSL certificates.
Computers nowadays aren’t a big thing anymore.
We work with them, they process stuff for us and
they’re supposed to make our work easier. But
how did all start? The ENIAC was built in 1947.
For quite some time the i9-7960XE with a
whopping price tag of 1500 US$ was the king for
High-End gaming rigs. AMD has the Ryzen family
as counterpart. So what’s the new CPU about?
It seems as if state supervision becomes a good
business for Darknet users. A french marketplace
called “Black Hand” has been recently shut down.
The owner: an employee of the DGSI!
Google Plus seems to be shut down definitely!
As it seems, the social media platform didn’t
succeed against Facebook as intended. In 2011
Google Plus was announced as an alternative.
Well it was expectable that once again a big update
wouldn’t run without flaws. The Windows 10 Update
With Build 1809 has been pulled after several data
losses have been reported, although they are known.
Again Apple’s iOS12 is subject to reveal secured data.
Yet the process is really complex and might need a
second phone as well as Siri being activated in the lock
screeen. Most users should hence be safe though!
With the release of the so-called GrayKey it
seemed as if even the newest iPhones were
prone to being hacked easily. Although there
were some hurdles to take.
Chrome and Google are known for it’s
aggressive data collection behaviour.
But with Chrome version 69, Google has
reached a new level of privacy breach.
When it comes to supercomputers, there are
challenges all over the world. If you take a look
at the TOP500 list then you’ll see that Asia and
USA are currently fighting for Rank 1 on this list.
Security leaks are always a nuisance. The 0day leak
that is shown below is a tool that allows access to
private Data, such as the Address Book and other
files of the user. And this without any prompts!
So while the heat has come down from Apple’s Event and
the published iPhone XS line, it seems as if Huawei wants
to steal the show from Apple. They say that their new
processor “Kirin 980” is faster than Apple’s A12 Bionic.
You know it’s Monday when you wake up and
have no ambition for anything early to do, then
maybe this video will make you laugh a little.
So off to a new week full of energy and fun!
Is NVidia running out of good ideas or is fake
marketing the new business to sell hardly faster
graphics chips at a higher price? If you read all
the negative comments on different news sites…
