  PATCH WATCH

  

  By Susan Bradley

  This month, I want you to review what else you have installed on your computer besides the operating system.

  Why? Because I want you to focus on your browsers and the software that is installed with your video card.

  And why video cards? Because there have been several vulnerabilities specifically tied to the Windows graphics drivers released by NVIDIA.

  ISSUE 21.38 • 2024-09-16

  APPLE

  

  By Will Fastie

  Apple’s annual late-summer event on September 9, primarily a means of introducing the next great iPhone, could be called humdrum this year.

  It’s not that there were no interesting announcements. It’s just that most were incremental. And some expectations set by Apple’s event this past June were not met.

  The recent event was about iPhones, Apple Watch, and AirPods. The most interesting part? Health.

• New AskWoody support for Apple products

  Posted on September 25, 2019 at 11:10 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  Nathan Parker has assembled, and PKCano has posted, a new AskWoody Knowledge Base article, AKB 2000014: Ongoing List of Apple Operating System Updates. It’ll keep you updated on the latest Apple patches, and our recommendations about installing or waiting on each. Given the recent problems, particularly with iOS13, it’s a must-read for anybody with an Apple product.

  Our approach to Apple is the same as our approach to Microsoft (and Google, too, for that matter): We calls ’em like we sees ’em. Don’t expect any pulled punches or marketing pablum.

  Thanks, folks!

  And while you’re at it, wander through the MacOS for Windows Wonks Forum. Nathan has added many interesting topics to the list.
