Intel’s Arc GPUs continue to creep closer to release. At an investor meeting yesterday, Intel reiterated that it would be shipping mobile Arc GPUs based on its Alchemist architecture in the first quarter of 2022 and that desktop GPUs would follow at some point in Q2.

Earlier this week, Google announced Chrome OS Flex, its official solution for breathing new life into aging Macs and Windows PCs with the help of the lightweight operating system. The software is designed to support hardware as old as 13 years. Interestingly, end-of-life Chromebooks might also be able to benefit, even though Google doesn’t recommend […]
As electric vehicles grow in popularity, there’s a related challenge on the horizon: how to dispose of worn-out EV batteries. Why it matters: If the U.S. can salvage those end-of-life battery packs, it could reuse the critical minerals inside to make new batteries, creating a sustainable domestic supply chain. That could help make EVs more affordable […]
A heart attack patient, recently discharged from the hospital, is using a smartwatch to help monitor his electrocardiogram signals. The smartwatch may seem secure, but the neural network processing that health information is using private data that could still be stolen by a malicious agent through a side-channel attack. A side-channel attack seeks to gather […]
Windows 11 is all the rage right now, with Microsoft dropping features and improvements for this latest operating system outside of the annual update cadence. But, if you still haven’t upgraded to Windows 11 or can’t due to minimum system requirements or any other reason, the Windows maker does continue to deliver updates for Windows […]
Facebook has bet its future on virtual reality and the metaverse, rebranding to Meta and spending billions a year to build hardware and software that extends beyond traditional social media. But the company has, at least so far, shared little with the public about how well its early bets are performing. Meta’s highest-profile bet right […]

The year’s 1st Chrome zero-day can lead to all sorts of misery, ranging from data corruption to the execution of arbitrary code on vulnerable systems. Google on Monday issued 11 security fixes for its Chrome browser, including a high-severity zero-day bug that’s actively being jumped on by attackers in the wild. In a brief update, […]
Google on Wednesday announced it’s adopting new privacy restrictions that will cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move made by Apple last year that upended several firms’ advertising practices. Google said it’s developing new privacy-focused replacements for its advertising ID, a unique string of characters that identifies the user’s device. […]
In a new study, a Florida State University researcher illuminates the fundamental properties of a process used to make better solar cells, giving scientists knowledge about how to further fine-tune that work and build more efficient devices. “This is building upon our goal to build better solar cells from new materials,” said FSU Assistant Professor of Chemistry […]
