After a year and a half of rigorous testing, Path of Exile 2 devs finally convinced Nvidia to fix a driver bug by sending it an entire PC

Players of Path of Exile 2 experienced frequent game freezes every 20 minutes since the early access launch, causing frustration and concern about character loss. A temporary workaround involved adjusting settings that reduced visual quality. Game director Jonathan Rogers identified a bug in the Nvidia driver as the root cause, which required specific reproduction steps. The release of NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 610.88 provided a fix for the long pauses during gameplay in DX12 mode, marking a resolution to the issue. This update allows developers to focus on optimizing other performance problems. The community is hopeful for a smoother experience leading up to the official 1.0 release later this year.

This Good Lock module is breaking Samsung’s handy multitasking feature

Samsung has acknowledged a bug affecting the Edge Panel feature on its Galaxy flagship devices, linked to the One Hand Operation Plus module, which allows users to set swipe gestures. Users report that swipe gestures no longer activate the Edge Panel as intended, with temporary fixes like toggling the Edge Panel or rotating the device's screen providing only short-term relief. Samsung suggests adjusting gesture area settings or disabling One Hand Operation Plus as potential workarounds. The company plans to address the glitch in an upcoming update but has not provided a specific timeline for the fix.

Windows BitLocker is fine. I still don’t trust it with everything

BitLocker is an encryption tool in Windows that secures data using a system of keys, with some keys stored in the motherboard's Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and others on the storage drive. Users must save a recovery key to prevent data loss, which can be stored on a removable disk, printed, or uploaded to the cloud. For Home license users, the recovery key usually defaults to cloud storage. Recently, vulnerabilities in BitLocker, including the "YellowKey" flaw, have been discovered, allowing individuals with physical access to bypass encryption. A second vulnerability was identified in June, also exploiting physical access to circumvent BitLocker's security.
