     In March, researchers uncovered a troubling privacy grab by more than four dozen iOS apps including TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media and video-sharing phenomenon that has taken the Internet by storm. Security researcher Tommy Mysk told Ars Technica in an interview that an additional 53 apps identified in March are still indiscriminately capturing universal clipboard data when they open, potentially sharing sensitive data with other nearby devices using the same Apple ID.     Though,  TikTok told Telegraph that the app is not collecting data from the clipboard. Instead, the app has a custom system to identify repetitive spam behavior. The company alleges this feature is triggering the new iOS 14 privacy banner, and for that reason, TikTok will no longer automatically access user clipboards with a future update to the app. For TikTok, this was triggered by a feature designed to identify repetitive, spammy behavior. We have already submitted an up...

     Apple announced their plans to switch from Intel processors to ARM chips on the Mac, which the company calls “Apple Silicon Mac.” Apple announced that iPad and iPhone apps will now be able to run natively on ARM-powered Macs. This means that now all iOS apps will be able to run on Mac OS, as long as the latter runs on Apple’s own silicon-based hardware.       According to Apple, since the iOS apps were built on the same Apple silicon as the upcoming Mac hardware, they will be able to run natively on Mac OS without any modification. Apple showed this off in a demo, where they were able to run iOS apps like Monument Valley, Fender Play and Calm, right on Mac OS. Apple also said that, right from Day One, Mac users with compatible hardware will be able to download these iOS apps right from the Mac App Store. Most apps will be able to work unmodified.      Apple will release the first Mac with Apple silicon at the end of this year, ...

     Due to the pandemic, Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) was held virtually but that didn’t stop Apple from dropping major announcements. Here’s everything new with iOS 14. App Library, these are folders, on the home screen, that your iPhone creates automatically for grouping together apps by category, including recently added apps and suggestions. Now, you can add widgets to your home screen. The redesigned widgets are available in multiple sizes, and a new “smart stack” lets you put multiple widgets in one, swipeable space. App Clips, these are essentially Apple's version of Android Instant Apps. Basically, it lets you use a smaller, lighter version of an app when you need to use one specific feature, rather than the full app. Siri  is getting a new user interface and advanced translation features. You can now pin important conversations in messages. You now also have the ability to mention someone specifically and reply to particular ...

    The Witcher 3 came out in 2015 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. And In my opinion, PC version is the best way to experience the game in all its glory because console version of the game was capped at 30 fps with 720p on the Xbox One and 900p  on the PS4. PC version allows for better graphics and smoother performance.       PS4 and Xbox One owners now have the chance to play the PC version of The Witcher 3 at no extra cost as long as you connect an existing copy to the GOG Galaxy 2.0 app, whether you’re on PC (Epic Games Store, Origin or Steam) or using a PS4 or Xbox One. Switch players are left out due to lack of integration.      In order to get the free PC copy, you need to download the GOG client and link it to whichever account holds your bought-and-paid-for copy of the game. If it can verify that you already own it, you can grab it for free on PC. And even if you already have it on PC, you can get an extra copy to gift to a friend....

          Amazon's New World is arriving later than expected but you can give it a try since the closed beta is going to start from July 23rd. In fact, you can sign up right now. The complete game is announced to arrive on 25th August. A new trailer shows that, unlike other games of the same genre where stats seem to matter heavily, reflexes and tactics are a key feature of the gameplay.      The title is about colonialism during the age of exploration with a supernatural twist where the settlers try to survive as they fight on a magical island. The stakes are high for Amazon as they are trying to prove that they can compete with big rivals in the industry.

    The PlayStation 5 isn't anything pretty to look at, rather it's more or less the opposite since  all the people seem to think of it as ugly and they are right because when you look at its  predecessor, the PlayStation 4, the PlayStation 5 just doesn't look appealing. It looks  like a wifi router as far as I am concerned.      The PlayStation 5 memes have started all over the internet but it won't change the fact that  the PlayStation 5 is going to be sitting in millions of homes around the world because it's all about getting used to it like everyone got used to iPhone's weird notch.     The Xbox Series X has an advantage over the PlayStation 5 in terms of power and looks more aesthetic. It seems to me that the design team responsible for the PlayStation 5 wasn't sure what they were trying to achieve. Because the design, apparently, doesn't seem to help with cooling.      The square shaped state of the Series X ha...
