New Lenovo UEFI firmware updates fix Secure Boot bypass flaws

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-24 16:52:27

Lenovo is warning of high-severity BIOS flaws that could let attackers bypass Secure Boot on all-in-one desktops using customized Insyde UEFI firmware. Devices confirmed to be impacted are IdeaCentre AIO 3 24ARR9 and 27ARR9, and the Yoga AIO 27IAH10, 32ILL10, and 32IRH8. UEFI is the modern replacement for the traditional PC BIOS, acting as a firmware interface between the computer's hardware and the OS, controlling early initialization and booting.

The Pixel 10 may have the most significant charging feature of all Android phones (if Google gets it right)

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-12-24 16:57:28

Kerry Wan/ZDNET There's been no shortage of Pixel 10 leaks leading up to its expected August launch event -- even Google has taken part in it. But while all eyes are on external design and camera changes, the biggest feature upgrade with the next-gen Pixels may actually be hidden in plain sight. I'm talking about Qi2 certification, the wireless charging standard introduced at CES more than two years ago that has yet to gain widespread market adoption due to material costs, lack of user demand,

Evidence is mounting that Google’s Pixel 10 series will support Qi2 wireless charging, including built-in magnets, finally offering a mainstream Android alternative to Apple’s MagSafe. The latest sign is a leaked image of the Pixel 10 with what appears to be a magnetic wireless charging puck attached to the back. The leaked image comes from the reliable leaker Evan Blass, an

Google's Pixel 10 may get magnetic Qi2 charging after all

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-25 02:30:55

Google's upcoming Pixel 10 may support wireless Qi2 charging natively (without a case), which would make it the first Pixel model and one of the few Android phones to do so. A new image from mega-leaker Evan Blass shows a Qi2 charger attached to the back of a naked Pixel 10 device, meaning it likely has the magnets required to support the fast-charging system. Rumors bubbled up last month that Google was working on a new lineup of "Pixelsnap" Qi2 accessories, leading to speculation that the Pix
