Laser hacking. If there's one phrase that says we're already living in the future I imagined as a kid, it's laser hacking, or to give one method its more technical term, «laser fault injection». While laser-based hacking techniques aren't exactly new, you'd usually need advanced and expensive machinery to pull off such an advanced trick.
It seems like everything these days is moving towards a subscriber model, rather than owning outright. From endless streaming subscriptions to coffee, printer ink, and perhaps even a gaming mouse, it seems like it's in a company's best interests to nickel and dime your bank account—rather than gobbling big chunks of it when you make a substantial purchase.
Intel has announced that it will be extending warranty support for boxed Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen desktop processors by two years, in its ongoing attempts to minimise the fallout from the ongoing crashing issues affecting its Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs.

But even someone with their nose to the ground hunting out useful Windows features makes the occasional miss, and this one's something I think I'll use rather often. Turns out Windows 11 lets you «End Task» from the taskbar itself, but you have to enable it specifically.
Delays on an upcoming piece of hardware are nothing new. So when AMD pushed its Zen 5-powered Ryzen 9000 series CPUs back by a week or two for failing a final stage of checks, we weren't entirely surprised, but definitely curious: What could possibly have caused them to be pushed back at such a late stage?
If you're an Intel chip owner affected by CPU crashing issues, you'll likely have been pleased by the official news from Intel last week that it was going to be delivering a microcode patch to address the root cause of exposure to elevated voltages.
