- Need a 21" 4K OLED monitor? Got too much money? Asus can solve both your problems! (AnandTech)
Their shiny new ProART PQ22UC starts at a mere £4,799.
This is apparently one of those fancy new inkjet-printed panels. Whatever the advantages of that process, price does not seem to be among them.
- Which is the better high-end chipset, AMD's X399 or Intel's X299? (Tom's Hardware)
A lot of this will depend on which CPU you have, because the compatibility between the two is zero.
- The Nokia 7 Plus stole your personal data and shipped it off to China. (Ars Technica)
This came down to an error in software installation. Only models intended for sale within China were meant to have the violate-all-privacy feature enabled.
(The data only consisted of phone identifying details, not your email address or passwords, so this is a worrying sign rather than a huge problem in itself.)
- GitHub 11.9 is out with automatic secrets detection. (GitLab)
That is, it will tell you if you've put passwords and API keys into your project. Which, as we noted yesterday, is something that happens a lot.
- FEMA leaked the personal details of 2.3M disaster survivors and the Oregon Department of Human Services (do they have a department of inhuman services?) leaked 2 million emails. (Bleeping Computer)
Good work.
- The latest version of Chrome is bloody annoying.
- Apple is phasing out support of 32 bit apps and with it a whole bunch of video codecs and other QuickTime functionality that they haven't bothered to port to 64 bit. (Six Colors)
Which means that some older video files will simply become unplayable on new Macs.
- Security researchers have found 36 new flaws in the LTE protocol. (ZDNet)
LTE is the new secure mobile protocol that replaced the old insecure protocols.
- Google's Stadia streaming game platform will be dead within 3 years because Google is run by idiots. (One Angry Gamer)

Yes, but they had to shut it down when Californian immigrants became a majority and voted to make it unlawful for native Oregonians to throw Californians into scorpion pits.
