Although initially slated for iOS 12, the release of iOS 11.4.1 has seen the rollout of USB restricted mode , which prevents the hacking of an Apple device via the Lightning port. But that’s not the only feature that the company slipped into its latest incremental update. Former NSA hacker Patrick Wardle found that, when iPhone users either sent or received a message containing the word Taiwan or a Taiwanese flag emoji, the app they were using would crash. Wardle detailed the bug extensively in

In a possible case of “out with the old and in with the new”, Nikon has quietly killed off the 1-series of cameras, the only mirrorless snappers it had in its catalogue. Nikon has confirmed with DPReview via email that “the Nikon 1 series cameras, lenses and accessories are no longer in production”. The Nikon 1 AW1 , which launched in 2013, is still the only interchangeable lens camera that’s entirely waterproof and can be used under water without a housing. Add to that a strange nomenclature fo

Nintendo Switch has been having a great few months – especially for its free-to-play players. Nintendo announced during E3 2018 that Epic Games would be bringing Fortnite to the console and Digital Extremes announced recently that it would do the same for its hit third-person shooter, Warframe. “Since announcing Warframe coming to the Switch, we’ve received an incredible amount of positive reception from both our community and Nintendo players,” says Digital Extremes Studio Manager Sheldon Carte

Nintendo has reportedly issued the first of its Nintendo Switch console units with at least one of the infamous Nvidia Tegra chip security flaws patched out. Patching these hardware security flaws – particularly the ‘f-g’ exploit – has been a long time coming for Nintendo following their exposure late last year. Before and since then, the homebrew (and, on a related note, piracy) scene exploded on the Switch console, thanks to the flaw. So, know that, while it’s not over yet, the days of homebre

A far cry from the room-sized supercomputers seen in sci-fi films, Nvidia’s hardware is the size of a license plate, but packs in the performance equivalent of six desktop workstations. Data for daysWhat Nvidia adds to the mix is obviously the brains behind the brawn – autonomous vehicles, especially those in Level 4 and 5 of autonomy, require a vast amount of data to function.
