Identifying malicious system threads… When you click on a benign Executable to launch it and then look at task manager, you’ll most probably see an entry there. That means that by clicking on the icon for calc.exe, you indirectly said that you wanted to launch a process. Of course, all you wanted to do was add two hexadecimal numbers but the operating system doesn’t understand all that. All it knows is that it has to launch a process and then assign something called a PID [ProcessID] to it, in case it wants to interact with it in the future....

The underlying emulator is Basilisk II, a 68k Macintosh emulator by Christian Bauer et al, modified and compiled with Emscripten by James Friend....

And honestly? We are a little confused. Do not get us wrong here. The Galaxy M40 ticks a lot of boxes in the right way. It is the first in the Galaxy M series to come with a Qualcomm processor (its predecessors used Samsung’s very own Exynos chips) and brings some serious flagship-level specs to the mid-segment table – the coolest of which is perhaps the Screen Sound technology, which transforms the display into a speakerphone calls, doing away with the earpiece altogether....
iPhone 8 and iPhone X support fast charging via a Lightning to USB-C cable, but Apple opted not to ship fast charging accessories in the box. Instead, iPhone customers have to fork over nearly $80 for a charging cable and brick that offers fast charging.

Darth Vader was the original trilogy character whose return in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story received the most publicity, but he was not the only familiar face featured in the final product. Director Gareth Edwards also found room for Grand Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia, who both fit naturally into the narrative given its place in the timeline. The process of including the duo was fairly extensive, as Industrial Light & Magic used state-of-the-art CGI to create the likenesses of Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher circa 1977....

Good. As reported by Android lice, it looks like Sprint may soon be delivering a reasonably-priced Android phone from a currently yet-to-be-named maker. There’s speculation that the OEM might be ZTE—an unsurprising possibility given Sprint’s relationship with the company but, really, who cares about that when you consider the phone’s specs. That’s because the specifications for the Sprint Flash don’t sound too shabby: It costs $180 on a two-year agreement (off-contract, it’s a more wallet-taxing $450) will offer users a 4....
