Stop Using Zoom.

ah yes hello its Intel joking video calling app zoom has exploded in popularity during the Kovan pandemic which is why it was especially concerning when - not one but two zero day vulnerabilities were discovered in the Mac OS version the flaws could give a local attacker meaning one that has physical access to the system root privileges meaning they could access a device's microphone and camera but zooms Windows app also has a vulnerability that could let hackers steal a users credentials and then there's also a flaw that could leak users email addresses and photos to complete strangers zoom is apparently working on fixes but it's just sad you know like if only there were some alternative to this instead of just this one app that no one's ever heard of until this year it's just it's so frustrating nobody uses hangouts Reilly also I know you're a figment of my imagination intel has apparently chosen April Fool's Day to officially unveil their 10th gen mobile processors at the top end of the line up the core I 9 10 9 8 eh k Sports 8 course and 16 threads and I guess the leaks were true because the flagship part does indeed have a 5.3 gigahertz single core turbo boost the 10 980 HK is also the only processor in the lineup which is unlocked so you can try to ignite your pants on fire should you so desire assuming you can afford one normally a mobile gaming CPU announcement wouldn't be that big of a deal there haven't been many changes for a while but this news is coming just on the heels of AMD's 4th gen rise in mobile processors and those are turning out to be pretty freakin awesome so it's more important than ever that Intel's parts keep up can they do it there's no one here as I mentioned it is April Fool's today that tech companies traditionally announced fake products in the spirit of making bad jokes you know but the number of pranks being pulled is significantly diminished this year Microsoft did just file a patent for recording user's subconscious thoughts though as a way to mine cryptocurrency honestly we can't tell whether that one's real or not pub G released a new mode called fantasy Battle Royale which is available till April 7th and a channel called -
