In this TechLinked episode, the team covers a surprising breach by the hacker group LAPSUS$ targeting Microsoft, highlighting how they posted a screenshot of Microsoft Azure DevOps source code repositories in their Telegram channel. The discussion weighs the plausibility of insider help and the implications for Microsoft’s internal security, noting that Microsoft publicly stated they are investigating the incident while data access remains unconfirmed. The hosts also revisit the broader context of LAPSUS$ and previous high profile targets like Samsung and Ubisoft, speculating on whether the group is trying to relive older glories. The segment then shifts to GPU pricing dynamics, with Tom’s Hardware observations about RX 6500 XT availability and pricing in Europe suggesting improved market conditions may be returning. A light-hearted exploration of Windows 11 watermarks follows, explaining how Microsoft marks systems that don’t meet requirements and how that affects user support. The quick bits stretch covers diverse topics from Asahi Linux on M1 Macs to the removal of Wii and DSi stores, and to FSR 2.0’s upcoming release aimed at competing with NVIDIA DLSS. The hosts connect these tech updates to practical outcomes, such as potential changes in hardware availability, software compatibility, and ongoing debates about platform policies, all while keeping a playful tone. The episode wraps with a nod to Elden Ring save file vulnerabilities and a signature close that invites viewers back for more Tech News a week later.
