Either way, as soon as you provide the article, I'll be ready to deliver a fabulously British, and dryly humorous summary of its contents. Read more here.

urgent update ios 1832 fixes critical

Apple, the titan of tech, has launched iOS 18.3.2 with urgency that could only be rivalled by James Bond disarming a ticking time bomb. This successor to the revered iOS 18.3.1, isn’t boasting a parade of flashy new features, instead, it arrives like a knight in shining armour to valiantly tackle a singular but decidedly pesky iPhone security blip. A show of bravado to show one and all that no cyber-heathen shall exploit our dear iPhones!

Interestingly, the rogue in question was less of a potential peril and more of a "reality-telly star", as it had already made its debut in real-life attacks. For those pondering over the specifics of the update, let's desist the tiny technical violin, shall we? It's an update - simply click download, let the electronic elves do their magic and voila - no more lurking security spectres!

This affair underscores the neverending dance between technology and infrastructure. Just when you thought you had the steps memorised, the music changes, and you stumble across the dance floor trying to find your rhythm again. But remember, dear tech enthusiasts, it's our resilience and perseverance, sprinkled with a dash of humour, that keeps the digital world pirouetting on its axis. Life might just be easier with carrier pigeons, but where's the wit in that? Read more here.

gamechanger scopely acquires niantics gaming

In an attempt to slice through the Gordian knot of mobile gaming, Niantic has handed over the reins of its gaming business to Scopely. This game of pass the parcel sees our cherished favourites 'Pokemon Go' and 'Pikmin Bloom' wrapped up in the deal. This might not be the Battle of Waterloo, but it's a seismic shift that's got the mobile gaming landscape undulating like a wild Snorlax on a trampoline.

Now, what does this mean for our brave pocket monster hunters or the florally-inclined Pikmin enthusiasts? The answer is: "Who knows?" But one thing's for certain, the witchcraft of managing the devilishly intricate intricacies of gaming technology has a new sorcerer.

So here's to the upcoming saga of navigating servers that have the temperament of a temperamental tea kettle, and the unending challenge of crafting complex augmented realities that don't transform our world into a router chewing abyss. A hearty "best of luck" to Scopely – few things are more impressive than a fearless foray into the technological jungle. Well, maybe a shiny Charizard, but that's up for debate. Read more here.

transition time microsoft swaps remote desktop for new windows app on may

Our beloved tech giant, Microsoft, is currently preoccupied with a bit of an "out with the old, in with the new" phase. The crux of this hullabaloo is the betwixt and between situation of its present Remote Desktop app and the impending Windows app.

Brace yourselves—on the 27th of May, Microsoft's Remote Desktop app, the online equivalent of a trusty ol' spanner, will officially become as outdated as a pair of Victorian bloomers. Indeed, on this inevitable day, it will be 'bon voyage' for the aged veteran. It's served its purpose, drawing admiring glances from a socially distant global user base. But alas! Time, the cruel and relentless nanny, is putting it to bed.

In its place, we will find the brisk and fully awake Windows app. 'New and improved' will be its rallying cry, as it strides onto the world stage. It presents itself with the air of a digital peacock, promising to be the magical cure-all to our remote access woes. Will it rise gracefully to the occasion or stagger like a malfunctioning Dalek, causing its userbase to pine for the 'good old app'? Only time will tell.

So come May 27th, expect a 'Changing of the Guard' at the Microsoft store. Run a final health check on any remaining ties with the Remote Desktop app, or risk being left behind, deserted on the island of obsoleteness. As we leap headlong into the future, the key question remains - will our teacups be half empty or half full? Will the new Windows app provide solace, or serve us a hot steaming mug of despair? And will Bill's technological behemoth manage the switch and carry on saving our digital bacon?

Let us cross our fingers and hope Westminster hasn't cornered the market on changes fraught with uncertainty. Read more here.

beware of amazon scams amd ryzen 7 9800x

In the latest episode of Technology's Mysterious Monologues, wayward tech giant Amazon takes the stage. Our anecdote of the day involves an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor ordered from Amazon by the ever-reliable Aris of Hardware Busters fame. In an uncanny performance demonstrating both time travel and product impersonation, it appears what rocked up in the mail was a vintage 2011 FX-4100 CPU masquerading as its 2022 superior.

It's as if Miss Marple crossed paths with Doctor Who, and they decided to dabble in computer parts instead of solving unsolvable murders or tackling Daleks. It's certainly a bewildering example of technology's ability to keep one on their toes; you order a hi-tech, high-speed processor and instead end up grasping a relic from 2011 -- an era when Angry Birds still topped app charts and Harry Potter was doing the rounds in cinemas.

Such incidents remind us of the unending hurdles in the tech-strewn path we tread, where even our trusted e-commerce giant can slip up and have us scratching our heads in technological bewilderment. So, here's a toast, ladies and gents: To the never-ending wrestle with technology, for the unexpected trips down memory lane, and the hope that our next Amazon delivery won't teleport us back another decade.

beware of fauxparts unmasking the ryzen 7

In a turn of events that would amuse even the Monty Python crew, AMD's impressive Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been astonishingly transformed into a 2011 FX-4100 CPU thanks to a bit of Tomfoolery on Amazon. Rather than receiving his much-anticipated, highly advanced processor, our hero Aris from Hardware Busters found himself staring at a silicon blast from the past.

Taking the plunge at the end of February, Aris fancied a second Ryzen 7 9800X3D for some rigorous testing. However, what arrived can only be described as a Jekyll to Hyde transition. The supposed top-tier processor rapidly demoted itself to a ten-year-old relic once unpacked.

This dramatic plot twist forces us to confront an era when broadband connection speeds were roughly equivalent to carrier pigeons, and touchscreens were the stuff of science fiction. Indeed, the grandeur of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D was lost in the post and replaced with a nostalgically humdrum FX-4100 CPU. As amusing as this tale is, it speaks volumes to the persistent challenges in the digital landscape, proving that sometimes the future of technology lies bewilderingly in the past.

So next time you're ordering the crème de la crème of CPUs, remember: you may just end up with a classic Cup-A-Soup instead of that enticingly hot bowl of lobster bisque. Read more here.

unveiling the future glimpse into new concept bike

In a twist that could only take place in the ceaselessly complicated world of technology, the Japanese are back at it again with a concept bike that seemingly sprang forth like a jack-in-the-box from a particularly tech-minded 'Alice in Wonderland'. Japanese fans will be privy to the first glimpse this weekend, once more reaffirming our sardonic conclusion that the Asia region might be in a future timeline.

While the rest of us are still grappling with the intricacies of Bluetooth pairing and the eternal puzzlement of Wi-Fi passwords, enthusiasts in the land of sushi and samurai will nonchalantly stare at, presumably, a motorbike fashioned from lasers or perhaps one that is fuelled by unicorn tears. At this point, nothing can surprise us anymore. It's all about the nuance of grin-and-bear-it while fighting the good fight against technology that sneaks into our everyday lives like an uninvited, albeit exciting, guest.

Fear not, fellow technophiles! We may persevere in the face of these droll yet persistent challenges, likely churning out biting quips and good-natured jabs as we force our grey matter to understand fuel injection systems or biometric security. After all, it's always cosier under the car bonnet or within the labyrinth of microchips and circuitry. Insurmountable? Think again. Those wheelies won't pop themselves, will they?

Here's to the tech enthusiasts worldwide, approaching every bewildering gadget and nerve-wracking update with a stiff upper lip, a cup of tea, and a sense of humbling, unyielding resilience that says, "Bring it on!" Stay tuned for future amusing reflections about technology-stuffed, infrastructural nightmares or the latest avant-garde power-ups from the wonderland that is Japan. Read more here.

samsungs surprise new software update for galaxy z fold 6 un

Righto, buckle up, tech enthusiasts! Our dear friends at Samsung seem to be rather bamboozled by their own technological wizardry, releasing a rather unexpected software update for the yet-unseen Galaxy Z Fold 6 in Korea. Oh, mind you, we're only at the stage of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 for the rest of us mere mortals.

This could be an unparalleled display of techie clairvoyance or just a simple, if you pardon my French, cock-up. Either way, it’s a stark reminder of the incessant tango we tech-heads dance with the ever-advancing and baffling world of technology.

The update boasts to address the ol' stability issue - because who doesn't love a stable folding phone, right? It seems even Korean users of this mythical device are still struggling with the elusive balance between bending their tech in half and expecting it to work, which has proven to be a challenge as persistent as a Yorkshire terrier at supper time. One can always hope, amid gales of laughter, that technology will one day agree to do what it claims on the tin. But until then, chin up! The dance must continue... Read more here.
