Edge browser has a serious password safety problem, but Microsoft says it’s by design

If you save your passwords in Microsoft Edge, here’s something you should know. Every time you open the browser, it decrypts all your saved passwords and loads them into memory in cleartext, where they stay for your entire session. That means your passwords are sitting unprotected in your device’s memory even if you never visit any of the sites they belong to. Security researcher Tom Rønning discovered this behavior and reported it to Microsoft. However, the company responded by saying the behavior is by design.

Apple could serve an unexpected repairability surprise atop its foldable iPhone

Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which could end up being called the iPhone Ultra, may have more going for it than a wider form factor. A fresh Weibo post from tipster Instant Digital (刹那数码) claims the phone could also be easier to open, repair, and take apart than other foldable phones. Foldables are still notoriously difficult to fix because of their compact layouts, fragile displays, and complex cable routing.

A built-in fan solves the problem passive cooling can’t Most compact SSD enclosures rely on their metal shell alone to shed heat. That works fine for short bursts, but sustained transfers, large video exports, or back-to-back backups generate enough heat to trigger throttling, cutting speeds mid-transfer.

The problem is, the operating system on your phone or laptop isn’t aware of your choice, and until now,…
