yt-dlp Requires Deno for YouTube Downloads

Popular YouTube downloader yt-dlp will soon require the Deno JavaScript runtime to function correctly due to changes on YouTube's side. Previously, yt-dlp used a built-in JavaScript interpreter, but this is now insufficient to overcome YouTube's updated anti-scraping measures. Users will need to install Deno and take additional steps depending on their installation method (e.g., using pip or official executables) to update yt-dlp and ensure continued YouTube video downloading capabilities.

Hidden Webshell: Identical MD5 Hash PHP Files

Two PHP files share the same MD5 hash, but one is a webshell. This technique allows attackers to bypass cached webshell detection. A hexdump reveals subtle differences between the files, resulting in identical MD5 hashes despite vastly different functionality. This highlights the insufficiency of relying solely on MD5 hashing for security checks; a more comprehensive security strategy is needed.

ASUS ROG Laptop Firmware Bug: A 13ms CPU Core Hold-up

Many ASUS ROG gaming laptop owners experience system stuttering, audio crackling, and other performance issues. Conventional fixes fail because the root cause lies in a deep-seated ACPI bug within the BIOS firmware. A technical investigation reveals a firmware interrupt handler sleeping for 100 milliseconds, effectively blocking a CPU core. This periodically triggers attempts to power cycle the dedicated GPU, even in direct-connect mode, potentially leading to blue screen crashes. The bug stems from flawed firmware design, neglecting proper interrupt context handling and lacking platform awareness. Millions of ASUS gaming laptops are affected, with the manufacturer yet to respond.
