If the second week of the month is coming up, then Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday must be close, and for August the company is planning at least nine security fixes, it’s revealed.

Five of the patches are deemed critical, three of them affecting Windows Vista, Windows XP and Server 2008 users. Windows 2000 and Server 2003 are vulnerable to four of the flaws, while the last of the critical vulnerabilities affects Office XP, 2003 and the Client for Mac component.

There is a new way to access ChatGPT on Apple's iPhone and iPad. As reported by MacRumors, the latest version of the ChatGPT app makes it even easier to access the app's SearchGPT feature.

With the Terra Master F8 SSD Plus, both problems have been solved.

I'm not going to cover all of my trials and tribulations building my first Plex server, nor the various ways you can set up your own -- we have a guide on how to use Plex that goes into plenty of detail on that front.
