| Finally, There’s a Way to Play Wordle More Than Once a Day - Lifehacker Posted: 27 Jan 2022 05:30 AM PST  According to Twitter, my decrepit Facebook feed, and a daily trash-talking text thread shared among my husband, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law, if you love Wordle, you really love Wordle. Like, play it as soon as you wake up, or get the kids off to school, and promptly advertise your results to whomever will listen (and hopefully applaud your wordsmithing prowess)—that kind of love it. Since the word game, which gives you six chances to guess a 5-letter word, went viral around the New Year, puzzle lovers and word nerds have rejoiced and delighted in process-of-eliminating their way to the solution in as few attempts as possible. And sharing the green, yellow, and grey boxes that tidily graph their attempts and failures. (Some superfans even enjoy "reverse-engineering" other people's "attempt profiles" (results) to figure out their "guess progression" so they can "have fun problem-solving twice," according to my husband. Thankfully, he has a separate text thread for that.) It's quick and challenging—but not brain-breaking—and simple. The bare-bones, ad-free interface conjures the quiet stillness of a Scrabble board or old school crossword puzzle. The only problem? Wordle only offers one puzzle per day, miffing acolytes who want more frequent opportunities to hone their skills. Hit up the Wordle Archive to get more than your daily fixThankfully, Devang Thakkar, a fourth-year doctoral student in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at Duke University has come up with a solution. Thakkar has designed a"Remembrance of Wordles Past" archive that lets you solve all the previous Wordles. Though an older Wordle you've already solved can feel "new" again a few weeks later, this is especially exciting for people who didn't hop on the bandwagon until after the game went viral. For example, there have been 221 puzzles as of today, and I didn't start until #210. So many Wordles to uncover! The archive looks exactly like regular Wordle, with the addition of five buttons at the top: "First," "Previous," "Choose," "Next," and "Last." (Noah Metzger has developed a similar archive, that lets you pick specific puzzle days and tracks whether you've solved them.) Once you select where you'd like to start, you can cruise through, spending hours solving Wordles to your heart's content. |
| Go Update Your iPhone Right Now to Fix This Giant Safari Security Bug - Gizmodo Posted: 26 Jan 2022 12:58 PM PST  Patch alert: You're going to want to run—not walk—to your iPhone and iPad to update them right now. A recently discovered vulnerability in Apple's Safari web browser, CVE-2022-22594, could spill sensitive personal data, but you can patch it now by updating to Apple's recently released iOS 15.3 and iPadOS 15.3, which were put out today. The bug in question in is in Safari 15 and can actually leak your recent browsing history as well as personal identifiers, such as your Google User ID. The bug was discovered by researchers with security firm FingerprintJS, who found that a bug in Safari's application of the IndexedDB API "lets any website track your internet activity and even reveal your identity." Not a particularly fun thing to have happen. "We checked the homepages of Alexa's Top 1000 most visited websites to understand how many websites use IndexedDB and can be uniquely identified by the databases they interact with," the report says. "The results show that more than 30 websites interact with indexed databases directly on their homepage, without any additional user interaction or the need to authenticate." However, 9to5Mac tested today's updates and found that it has fixed the Safari security vulnerability in question. Good news. But wait, there's more! The updates also fix another bug that Apple says may have been seeing active exploitation in the wild. This bug, tracked as CVE-2022-22587, is basically a memory corruption bug in the IOMobileFrameBuffer that, under the right circumstances, could lead to kernel-level code execution. According to Bleeping Computer, the complete list of impacted devices include:
Wednesday's updates don't otherwise have any user features and are solely about fixing bugs, Apple Insider reports. To get the latest fixes for your iPad and iPhone, you'll simply want to go to Settings > General > Software Update. It's as simple as that. Patch. Do it now. And then get back to browsing in peace. |
| Almost every Samsung Galaxy S22 detail has leaked - TechRadar Posted: 27 Jan 2022 02:16 AM PST There wasn't much about the Samsung Galaxy S22 range that we didn't have a good idea about at this point, and now there's even less, as a huge leak has revealed just about every detail of these phones. Coming from WinFuture, this covers a whole lot of ground that we already know, but it fills in some gaps too, and generally reiterates a lot of rumors, further suggesting that they're accurate. So then, all three phones apparently use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset in the US and an Exynos 2200 in Europe. They're also all said to run Android 12, have 120Hz refresh rates, use tough Gorilla Glass Victus to protect their screens, and to be IP68 certified for water and dust resistance. As for what differs, the standard Samsung Galaxy S22 apparently has a 6.1-inch 1080 x 2340 AMOLED screen with a brightness of up to 1500 nits, while the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus supposedly ups the size to 6.6 inches and the brightness to 1750 nits. From there, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra ups the size to 6.8 inches and the resolution to 1440 x 3080. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is also said to be the only one of the three with a curved screen, and its refresh rate can apparently drop as low as 1Hz, while the other two have a minimum of 10Hz. All three phones apparently have at least 8GB of RAM and a choice of 128GB or 256GB of storage, but the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is said to additionally have configurations with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. As for the battery, there's apparently a 3,700mAh one in the Samsung Galaxy S22, a 4,500mAh one in the Galaxy S22 Plus, and a 5,000mAh one in the S22 Ultra. Colors for the two cheaper models are said to include black, white, pink gold and green, while for the Ultra the choice is apparently between black, white, burgundy and green.
On to the camera, and the setup is identical across the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy S22 Plus, with both phones apparently having a 50MP f/1.8 main snapper, a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide one (with a 120-degree field of view), and a 10MP telephoto one with 3x optical zoom. Around the front there's supposedly a 10MP f/2.2 camera. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra on the other hand is listed as having the same ultra-wide but a 108MP f/1.8 main camera, a 10MP f/2.4 telephoto (with 3x optical zoom), and a 10MP f/4.9 telephoto (with 10x optical zoom), along with a 40MP f/2.2 camera on the front. Dimensions and weight apparently come in at 146.0 x 70.6 x 7.6mm and 167g for the Galaxy S22, 157.4 x 75.8 x 7.64mm and 195g for the S22 Plus, and 163.3 x 77.9 x 8.9mm and 227g for the S22 Ultra. We also have pricing in euros here, but it lines up with an earlier leak, with the Samsung Galaxy S22 apparently starting at €849, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus at €1,049, and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra at €1,249. We haven't included conversions here as those are the same European starting prices as the Samsung Galaxy S21 range, meaning the prices elsewhere will probably be much the same too. For reference, that means around $799 / £769 / AU$1,249 for the S22, $999 / £949 / AU$1,549 for the S22 Plus, and $1,199 / £1,149 / AU$1,849 for the S22 Ultra. Though the Galaxy S21 Ultra came with more RAM for that price than you're apparently getting here, at 12GB rather than 8GB. Finally, this source also includes supposedly official images, some of which you can see above. These entirely line up with what we've seen before, complete with an S Pen stylus for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. We'd still take all of this with a pinch of salt, but with most of these details having now leaked repeatedly they're likely accurate. Analysis: a big February 9 event with nothing to revealSamsung has confirmed that it's holding a big launch event on February 9 where we're fully expecting to see the Samsung Galaxy S22 range, yet as you've probably gathered by now it's unlikely to include much that we haven't seen or heard already. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 range is also expected to be announced here, but that's been leaked almost as extensively, so again, surprises will probably be minimal. Still, at least we'll be one step closer to actually having these devices in our hands and being able to really put them to the test. |
