Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
From WordPress.org:
Version 4.9 of WordPress, named “Tipton” in honor of jazz musician and band leader Billy Tipton, is available for download or update in your WordPress dashboard. New features in 4.9 will smooth your design workflow and keep you safe from coding errors.
I first thought: “Tipton, Glenn Tipton.”
By the way, when are they going to get to “Van Halen”?
If only I were the one in charge of naming WordPress…
Time to get your WordPress updated, again.
A few days ahead the official iPhone X launch date, Apple releases iOS 11.1, watchOS 4.1, tvOS 11.1 and macOS High Sierra 10.13.1.
These updates includes fix for Key Reinstallation Attacks – KRACK vulnerability.
As we have reported on October 23, 2017 iOS 11.1 build 15B93 was indeed the Golden Master. In addition to that, iOS 11.1 for iPhone X carries a different build number.
Two minutes to midnight and iPhone X preorder will begin.
Apple will start taking pre-orders for iPhone X this Friday, October 27, 2017. iPhone X will be available on November 3, 2017.
According to firstnameatappledotcom, iPhone X will ship with iOS 11.1 (or later). Apple has also seeded iOS 11.1 GM candidates (15B92 and 15B93), publicly labeled as iOS 11.1 beta 4 and beta 5, to Developers and Public Beta testers.
UPDATE: This feature also shows up in iOS 11.0.3
New security feature in iOS 11.1 beta 3:
Passcode, if enabled, is now required to trust a computer.
I don’t remember seeing this message on the phone before other than the usual “Do you want to trust this computer” message.
It is a good security measure to have this on. I know a lot of people who don’t want to be bothered with entering the passcode every time they need to unlock the iPhone; they also think Touch ID is hassle.
This just in.
From BleepingComputer:
Mathy Vanhoef, a researcher from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), has discovered a severe flaw in the Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) protocol that secures all modern protected Wi-Fi networks.
The flaw affects the WPA2 protocol itself and is not specific to any software or hardware product.
Vanhoef has named his attack KRACK, which stands for Key Reinstallation Attack.
Yikes!

Apple Watch Nike+ Series 3 is now available, albeit in limited quantities.
I was out of the office when UPS delivered this Apple Watch. After pairing the Apple Watch, I immediately updated the Apple Watch to watchOS 4.0.1 (build 15R654).
I have yet enabled the Cellular account on the Apple Watch.
