AMD's latest Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series arrives with a familiar formula: massive core counts, eye-watering specs, and price tags to match. Built on the Zen 5 microarchitecture, these chips pack up to 64 cores and 128 threads, along with 80 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity. As with previous generations, the lineup is split in two: a high-end desktop (HEDT) range, simply called Threadripper 9000, and a workstation-class series known as Threadripper Pro 9000WX.

Google will soon fix a security loophole in Chrome’s password autofill

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-21 05:30:38

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google Chrome on Android will let you require biometric authentication before autofilling passwords, adding a much-needed layer of security. This feature closes a loophole, as the existing biometric protection for autofill in Google Password Manager currently only applies to apps, not the browser. A newly discovered setting explicitly states this protection is “coming soon to Chrome,” finally preventing password autofill without user verification. Man

Go's race detector has a mutex blind spot

Go's race detector has a mutex blind spot 28 Jul, 2025 I recently read Ralf Jung's blog post "There is no memory safety without thread safety" which mentions that Go is not a memory safe language in the presence of data races. "But Go comes with a built in data race detector " some might say. This reminded me of a quirk in Go's dynamic data race detection that causes it to miss data races in executed code that could easily be spotted by a human .

Asus Chromebook CX14 Review: What You Get for $429

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-12-21 05:30:00

You could certainly make the argument that cheap Chromebooks keep the world running. That's at least true in schools. But for all their importance, not as many new affordable Chromebooks come out each year as you might think. Asus is changing that in 2025 with the Chromebook CX14, a surprisingly pleasant 14-inch laptop that costs just $429 in its higher-end configuration. As far as cheap Chromebooks go, this is among the best. Blending In Photograph: Luke Larsen The CX14 might not look like

Anthropic Users Melt Down After Company Institutes New Rate Limits

Anthropic is changing its usage limits — and its fanbase is already pointing fingers. In a post on X, the OpenAI rival announced that it's introducing new weekly rate limits to paid subscribers after it says a small handful of users abused their privileges and, essentially, ruined it for everyone else. "Claude Code has seen unprecedented demand, especially as part of our Max plans," Anthropic explained, referencing its highest subscription tier that runs $100 to $200 per month, depending on us

How to sync passkeys in Chrome across your Android, iPhone, Mac, or PC (and why you should)

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2025-12-21 18:14:00

Lance Whitney / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Passkeys promise to replace passwords as a more secure and convenient login method. But they still have a way to go before fulfilling that promise. That's because passkeys are often way too difficult to set up on one device, let alone all the devices you use. The industry itself offers no standard or consistent method to save and store passkeys, so each company has cobbled together its own process, which may or may not work. Also: Passkeys won't be

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Google Chrome dominates the browser market, holding an almost 70% market share globally, according to StatCounter. This widespread adoption is often attributed to its pre-installation on nearly every Android phone, leading to an effortless default for many users.

Dario Amodei doesn’t hesitate when I ask what’s gotten into him.

Finally, there's something to be said for supporting the underdog.
