This ASRock gadget turns your PC case into a proper monitor

Posted on 07/11/2022

If you want a secondary screen but can’t quite fit one onto your desk, you might want to check out ASRock’s latest invention — a PC side panel display.

Large and bright enough to serve as a proper monitor, this is certainly a fun gadget. Unfortunately, many of us won’t be able to use it.

PC owners have all that space on their chassis, and nothing to do with it. As long as you’re willing to give up being able to easily peer inside the case (and admire the RGB light show, if that’s your thing), you might like ASRock’s 13.3-inch Side Panel Kit. This is essentially a monitor, similar to that in a laptop, that is attached to the inside of your case.

As the panel is installed within the chassis, your case needs to have a side panel made of transparent tempered glass. It has to be sturdy enough to hold the screen, but it also needs to be see-through so that you can see it in the first place.

For a little side monitor, the IPS display sounds decent. It measures 13.3 inches, has a 16:9 aspect ratio, 1080p resolution, and a basic 60Hz refresh rate.

CISA Warnings of Critical Vulnerabilities in 3 Industrial Control System Software

Posted on 06/11/2022

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published three Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advisories about multiple vulnerabilities in software from ETIC Telecom, Nokia, and Delta Industrial Automation.

Prominent among them is a set of three flaws affecting ETIC Telecom’s Remote Access Server (RAS), which “could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information and compromise the vulnerable devices and other connected machines,” CISA said.

This includes CVE-2022-3703 (CVSS score: 9.0), a critical flaw that stems from the RAS web portal’s inability to verify the authenticity of firmware, thereby making it possible to slip in a rogue package that grants backdoor access to the adversary.

Two other flaws relate to a directory traversal bug in the RAS API (CVE-2022-41607, CVSS score: 8.6) and a file upload issue (CVE-2022-40981, CVSS score: 8.3) that can be exploited to read arbitrary files and upload malicious files that can compromise the device.

Israeli industrial cybersecurity firm OTORIO has been credited with discovering and reporting the flaws. All versions of ETIC Telecom RAS 4.5.0 and prior are vulnerable, with the issues addressed by the French company in version 4.7.3.

The second advisory from CISA concerns three flaws in Nokia’s ASIK AirScale 5G Common System Module

Reviewing and Ranking Different Art Mediums as a Graphic Design Major

Posted on 06/11/2022

The opinions expressed in this article are the writer’s own and do not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Ever since the first time I picked up a crayon and completed my first page of a coloring book, I fell in love with making art. My aunt had an impact on my perfectionism by showing me how to fill in the lines and different ways of coloring – making it lighter, having dark outlines, even making gradients.

Displaying my interest for art was kickstarted with the trend of being gifted all sorts of tools for art. At Christmas, getting those kits with the cheap markers, colored pencils, and the poor quality crayons was the norm for me. For my birthday, I requested acrylic paints, canvases, and brushes. I’d do my research and web searches of all different kinds of mediums and styles, and my love for anything art-related kept growing. The most recent items I’ve received were last Christmas, where I got an entire pottery wheel, and even more recent items I bought myself for school being some graphite pencils, kneaded erasers, black ink, a gessobord, palette paper, watercolors, and more.

Due to favoring art as a whole and getting

If Only We Could Blow on Gadgets to Fix Theme

There are numerous reasons why I could never get a job as tech support, since my answer to most queries would be: “Did you blow on it? Maybe you should blow on it. Nothing? OK, hold on. Try hitting it.”

We all remember doing this hundreds of times as kids. The Nintendo or Sega game (I’m inclusive) begins acting up, and as if you were Sir Isaac Newton developing the theory of universal gravitation after witnessing an apple falling, you grab the cartridge, blow on it with your Capri Sun breath, and restart the now-working game. Hazaa!

This is clearly great scientific work in action. The cartridge probably has dust and dog hair on it because it’s sitting on a pile of textbooks a foot off the floor, and your Superman-like breath swiftly whisked away all the debris that prevented the connectors in the cartridge and console slot from hugging each other .

It Works, Right?

Many have since gotten the memo that blowing likely wasn’t the fix at all. It’s not the act of blowing that made the game magically work, but removing the cartridge and inserting it back in. Connectors wear out over time, and reinserting the

TEAM stock plunged 29% to close at 123.73 on the stock market today. TWLO stock plummeted 34.6% to close at 42.74. Meanwhile, Cloudflare stock fell 18.4% to 41.09.

Atlassian reported fiscal first-quarter earnings of 36 cents, down 3% from a year earlier, missing Wall Street estimates for 38-cent profit. Revenue rose 31% to $807.4 million, edging by views of $806.4 million.

Billings, a sales growth metric, came in at $798 million, up 27%. But that missed forecasts of $830 million.

The Australia-based company said it expects December quarter revenue of $845 million at the midpoint of its outlook, below views for $879 million.

“We are surprised by the magnitude of the slowdown in consolidated growth and cloud growth more particularly,” BMO Capital Markets analyst Keith Bachman said in a note to clients.

Software Stocks Transition To The Cloud

“Management lowered fiscal 2023 cloud revenue guidance from 50% year-over-year to a range of 40% to 45%, driven by a more pronounced decrease in the rate of free-to-paid conversions,” Bachman went on to say. “(They also cited) a slowing in the rate of paid user
