This week we released a new backend user management system and it was buggy, so we made some adjustments: you now must log in with the email address for your account, not username. The display name will be the display name you originally chose with that email. Eventually you’ll be able to change that, but if you just can’t wait, you can email me and I’ll manually change it for you. If you don’t yet have an account, you should probably wait until next week to sign up. And of course we are also having cache problems, so if the homepage or All Articles view or RSS has not updated for you since Th

The front of the 2020 27-inch iMac. [credit: Samuel Axon ] Apple's low-end, 21.5-inch iMac appears to be in short supply at Apple Stores and in Apple's online storefront in the United States. The shortage could be a hint of an imminent change to the iMac lineup just a few days before Apple hosts a product launch event on April 20. In particular, the cheapest, 1080p iMac (the rest of the 21.5-inch models have 4K displays) is seeing ship dates slipping back several days into late April

It's the latest revelation of a supply chain attack that has the potential to backdoor the networks of countless organizations. The Codecov bash uploader contained the backdoor from late January to the beginning of April, developers of the tool said on Thursday. The backdoor caused developer computers to send secret authentication tokens and other sensitive data to a remote site controlled by the hacke

My Chemical Romance were supposed to launch their reunion tour in 2020, but those dates were pushed back to this year due to COVID-19. Today they announced that they’re postponing their grand return a second time. Their announcement was sufficiently emo in tone: “We are deeply sad, but those emotions are only a fraction of the depth of feeling we have all experienced watching the suffering and loss of the past year,” reads a news item on the band’s website. “We just want to be as sure as we can be that everyone is safe.” View the full article

This ruling is in reference to the "Location History" controversy from a few years ago. The Associated Press reported at the time that turning off the Location History setting does not disable all location-tracking features across every Google product. The ACCC's press release states that from January 2017 to December 2018 (the AP article was published in August 2018), "Google misrepresented that the ‘Location History’ setting was the only Go

The G15 is reasonably unassuming as gaming laptops go—it doesn't feel huge or bulky, and there's a thankful minimum of SuPeR 31337 bling. [credit: Jim Salter ] Recently, we managed to get our hands on an Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 laptop. We had to do it just like anybody else does, by finding one and buying it retail. That's notable because this laptop combines AMD's Ryzen 9 5900HS processor with an Nvidia RTX 3070 Mobile GPU, a combination that means this device sells out extremely quickl

Enlarge / Docker running on a Mac.

The M1 chip uses the ARM instruction set and cannot natively run software that was designed to run on the x86 architecture that the Intel processors in previously released Macs used. Though the previous version of Docker did work via Apple's Rosetta solution, the introduction of an M1-native version of Docker contributes to a closing gap
