The reason we don't really post many of the security vulnerabilities is because they aren't all something to be worried about with fear. The line here has often been what a researcher has found, vs what is loose in the field. Unless it is zero day and being actively exploited usually it will be patched by the time the article is posted. On Linux by the time the article is circulated the repos already have a patch. Reading security news for the uninitiated can have the sky is falling feel, and often that is unwarranted.

Your best defense is always using best practices. The internet is a jungle and always has been. The best thing you can do is remain calm and take the right action.

You’re not on Android.
You’re not on iOS.
You’re on firmware forged by fire, betrayal, and packet desync.

Welcome to OmniOS.
One tap, three crashes.

Users have discovered that the Windows 11 Start Menu is built with React Native and can spike CPU usage up to 70% on a single core when opened. The issue occurs inconsistently, affecting some users in about 50% of clicks.

The component is built using React Native — a framework known for its cross-platform flexibility but criticized for inefficiency in system-level applications.

This revelation has reignited discussions around software optimization and resource management in modern operating systems. Notably, legendary game developer John Carmack recently weighed in on a related topic during a discussion dubbed the "CPU Apocalypse" thought experiment.

Carmack, former CTO of Oculus and co-founder of id Software, argued that software inefficiencies - not hardware limits - are the real bottleneck in computing today. He suggested that if the development of new processors were to stall, market forces would push for significantly more optimized software, enabling older hardware to perform far better than currently expected.
