If you have a Gigabyte motherboard and use the Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) software, you'd better download the latest version of the software. While the risk of a local attacker hacking into your PC is pretty slim, it's best practice to just cover your butt before anything bad happens.

And here's something for the future:

Intel reportedly collaborating with AUO on microLED panels, which could help make the ultimate display tech more mainstream

Most display experts agree that microLED is the ultimate flat panel display tech. There's just one problem. It's hella expensive. Could Intel be the surprising solution to that?

According to a new report, it might just be part of the solution, at least. According to Taiwanese outlet Economic Daily, Intel is partnering with display specialist AU Optronics on a new approach to embedding electronics into microLED glass substrates.

The report says that has obtained a US patent for "IC Package with Micro LEDs" which involves, "embedding at least part of a semiconductor chip within a glass substrate." The implication of this is that the display control chip would be integrated into the microLED panel itself, which could have have both packaging and cost advantages.
