ARM demands destruction of all PCs with Snapdragon X
ARM and Qualcomm are clashing over licensing agreements. ARM claims Qualcomm broke the deal by buying Nuvia and using its cores in Snapdragon X chips, which isn't covered by their license. ARM, in their lawsuit, demands that Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Microsoft, Lenovo, Samsung and other smaller manufacturers should destroy all notebooks or mini PCs with Snapdragon X CPUs.
This might be why Microsoft prefers to work with Mediatek and Nvidia rather than Qualcomm.
Qualcomm fired back with a lawsuit, accusing ARM of not delivering promised items. ARM wants to push through a new licensing models to base license costs on the price of the device rather than the processor.
The first court hearing is in December 2024, so the fate of these devices is uncertain for now.

A critical vulnerability (CVE-2024-33905) discovered in Telegram allowed attackers to hijack user accounts with a single click!
Here's how the exploit worked:
1. Malicious Mini-App: Attackers would create malicious Telegram mini-apps.
2. Deceptive Pop-up: When launched, the mini-app would display a seemingly harmless pop-up window asking the victim to click "OK."
3. Session Hijacked: Clicking "OK" unknowingly granted the attacker control over the victim's Telegram session, even bypassing two-factor authentication!
This vulnerability was particularly dangerous as it could be easily embedded in seemingly harmless clickbait, putting countless users at risk.
The good news:
* The vulnerability was reported to Telegram on March 9, 2024.
* While details about the fix are unavailable, users should be wary of suspicious mini-apps and avoid clicking on unverified pop-ups.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Spotted at GeekBench
Samsung Galaxy S24 Fan Edition will launch at the Samsung Unpacked event on 10th July which 'might' take place in Paris, France
Specifications:
β’ 6.1" AMOLED Display
β’ 8GB/12GB LPDDR5X RAM
β’ 256GB (UFS 4.0)/ 128GB (UFS 3.1) storage
β’ 4500mAh battery
Now, the S24 FE will be powered by the Samsung Exynos 2400 processor
In case you missed it, the Samsung Xclipse 940 is a "Hexa-core" GPU
But the clock speed of the Cortex-X4 prime core is a bit lower than expected in Exynos 2400 with the Galaxy S24 FE
Normally, the Exynos 2400 Cortex-X4 cores runs at 3.2GHz, here it is listed as 3.1GHz
So the S24FE is powered by flagship Exynos 2400 SOC, with big core clock speed slightly decreased, from 3.21 to 3.11 (GHz)

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is coming
Qualcomm has revealed that it will hold the next Snapdragon Summit 2024 event from October 21-23, 2024, in Maui, Hawaii
Now, the Snapdragon 8 gen 4 will be the first Qualcomm SoC to be based on a custom ARM instruction set with Nuvia core instead of ARM's cortex cores
Part Number: SM-8750
GPU: Adreno 8xx @ 1.15GHz
CPU:
2Γ Phoenix large @ 4.2GHz
6Γ Phoenix Medium @ 3.0GHz
Manufactured by TSMC on its 3nm process (N3B)
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 GPU upgrades would be MASSIVE!
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will utilize an upgraded GPU architecture with improved cache and memory compression technology.
The architecture is called βSlice GPU architectureβ wherein the GPU is divided into multiple independent physical units called βslices.β Each slice has its own pipeline, cache, and memory.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 would also feature a new 'memory compression algorithm', for the first time since the release of Snapdragon 650 in 2016.
This new technology is called "dynamic wave pairing" & it was patented by Qualcomm in 2022.
Dynamic Wave Pairing will allow the GPU to distribute tasks more efficiently as it can assign workloads to different sections within itself, and then choose the most suitable one to handle that specific task.
Although the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can reach 3100 in single-core on Geekbench, however, will power consumption will suck a lot & it might heat too.
Thus, many Chinese brands will incorporate 6,000mAh larger batteries in their smartphones to compensate for power consumption in the Qualcomm chip

Fired employee accessed companyβs computer 'test system' and deleted servers, causing it to lose S$918,000
Kandula Nagaraju, 39, was sentenced to 2 years and 8 months for unauthorized access to NCS's "test system". Kandulaβs former team managed this system which was used to test new software before launch.
After being fired in November 2022, Kandula, feeling "confused and upset", used administrator credentials to access NCS's test system from India and Singapore, deleting 180 virtual servers between January and March 2023.
Kandula wrote and executed scripts to delete the servers despite being unauthorised. His laptop, containing the scripts, was seized by the police. He had searched on Google for scripts to delete virtual servers.
His actions caused NCS a loss of S$918,000.
