Researchers from ETH Zurich and Vrije University revealed yesterday that DDR4 and LPDDR4 memory is still vulnerable to Rowhammer attacks despite the Target Row Refresh (TRR) mitigations that were implemented to defend against them.
Rowhammer attacks, which were discovered in 2014 , repeatedly access a single row of memory cells to cause bit flips in adjacent rows. Attackers could theoretically use Rowhammer to corrupt, alter or steal data from memory via these bit flips.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said that Apple will release Arm-based MacBooks in the last quarter of 2020 or the first quarter of 2021, 9to5Mac reported yesterday, and that MacBooks with an "all-new design" would debut later.
Kuo has beaten the Arm-on-Mac drum for a while. He said in February that he expected Apple to release the first Mac devices equipped with custom processors sometime in the next 1

If a recent Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) submission (spotted by PCGamesN ) is to be trusted, the GeForce RTX 2060 could be going under the knife very soon.
The GeForce RTX 2060 originally came with the TU106 silicon, featuring 1,920 CUDA cores and 6GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 14 Gbps. EVGA would later surgically switch the TU106 silicon for the
With COVID-19, aka the Coronavirus, spreading around the world, more and more businesses are asking employees to work from home. For the millions of remote workers who have been logging on from the living room for years, this request is no change at all. However, if you’re used to going into the office every day, suddenly being stuck in your house and trying to be productive there can be a challenge.
There are four potential problems with working at home
Reputable hardware leaker @momomo_us has shared alleged specifications for the Intel Xeon W-10885M and W-10855M. The two mobile Xeon chips presumably hail from Intel's 10th Generation Comet Lake family.
According to online distributor Mouser Electronics, both the Xeon W-10885M and Xeon W-10855M feature FC-BGA14F packaging. The first is believed to
Czech manufacturer Unibos built an external M.2 SSD enclosure that uses the Thunderbolt 3 interface, as spotted by ComputerBase . The Unibos Portable SSD X4 Storage Box (SKU BR-TB3-X4) is quite a rarity, as most external Thunderbolt 3 enclosures are notably bigger, offering space for either multiple NVMe SSDs or RAID arrays with 3.5-inch hard drives.
This makes this enclosure a bit of a unicorn, though it's a welcome addition to the
