Downfall

In the 1960s and 70s, no serious rock fan viewed the drummer Jim Gordon with anything but awe. By the 80s, none of them viewed him with anything but contempt, a 180-degree turn that led to his virtual erasure from the culture. Even four decades later, when the veteran music journalist Joel Selvin first tried to sell publishers on a book meant to tell Gordon’s story with nuance and depth, they balked. “They would debate it for months and then say, ‘Nope, can’t do it,’” Selvin said. “It was almost impossible for them…

Intel Five unhappy owners of Intel CPUs have just started a class action lawsuit against the company following the discovery that, allegedly, Intel knowingly sold processors affected by a dangerous vulnerability — and it has been doing this for years. The flaw in question is called Downfall, and while it doesn’t affect Intel’s best CPUs, it’s present in chips ranging from the 6th to the 11th generation of Intel processors. Dating back to Skylake CPUs and still present in Rocket Lake chips, the Downfall vulnerability…

Intel processors are affected by Downfall, a security flaw that can allow a malicious user to gain access to sensitive and private user data from users' computers, and the chipmaker is rolling out fixes that patch the vulnerability on affected systems.

Unlike the company's recent chips, older CPUs released by Intel in 2015 are currently vulnerable and these models will…

While there's still no shortage of threats out there, including the Taken, Red Legion remnants, and the Vex, humanity at least has a few allies in its…

via Warner Bros. Warner Bros. isn’t having a great summer. The studio had hyped The Flash up as “one of the greatest superhero movies of all-time,” only for it to humiliatingly crater at the box office and potentially lose hundreds of millions of dollars. The smaller-scale Blue Beetle is coming next, but it’s this winter’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom that’ll finally close out the old DCEU before the James Gunn era begins. As 2018’s Aquaman is a member of the billion-dollar club, expectations should be high for…

Fossilized teeth are most of the remains we have today of the megalodon, which makes it hard to figure out what it looked like or how it lived. But now, scientists have used those teeth to estimate the ancient shark’s body temperature, and found it wasn’t exactly a cold-blooded killer. Strangely enough, that might have contributed to its downfall.The megalodon was a giant species of shark that ruled the oceans about 20 million years ago. Like modern sharks, its skeleton would have been mostly made of cartilage, so we…
