Surface Pro 3 Receives Firmware Update that Improves Device Security

Microsoft has been keeping quite busy this past couple of days. The tech giant rolled out important firmware updates to Surface Book 2, Surface Pro 4, Surface Laptop and Surface Pro (2017). However, there is one Surface Pro device that didn’t receive the same treatment from Microsoft. The device we are talking about is called Surface Pro 3.

Surface Pro 3 Firmware Update

While Microsoft was rolling out important firmware updates to the previously mentioned Surface devices, Surface Pro 3 was being left behind. This angered the community and people kept making posts on the community forum and asked Microsoft to deliver firmware updates to Surface Pro 3 as well. Fortunately, Microsoft listened to the feedback it received and rolled out a new firmware update for Surface Pro 3.

Improved System Stability

The new update that Surface Pro 3 owners are receiving OTA (over the air) sports the “Surface UEFI – Firmware 3.11.2450.0” version number and Microsoft says that it will improve device security. Unfortunately, this is the only thing that Microsoft had to say about the latest firmware update and its highly unlikely that it will introduce any new features.

High-End Tablet

Surface Pro 3 is one of the most successful tablets that Microsoft launched and this is why the community was surprised to see that its not a top priority when it comes to firmware updates. Nonetheless, Surface Pro 3 was announced on May 20th, 2014 and it shipped with a massive 12.0-inches display that uses IPS LCD technology.

While the display might be impressive, the most important hardware part that Surface Pro 3 has to offer is the Intel Core i7 CPU that hides beneath its hood. The CPU is paired with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage space.

Will iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak Release At The Same Time iOS 12 is Revealed?

This past couple of weeks have been filled with big announcements in the jailbreaking community. However, now that iOS 12 is getting closer to launch, every jailbreak fan keeps talking about an upcoming iOS 11.4.1 tool release. This tool is expected to launch at the same time Apple reveals iOS 12, which is next month.

iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak Release Date

Even though everyone is talking about an upcoming iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak tool, no one knows anything about its actual release date. Not just that, but there aren’t any developers who are known to jailbreak iOS that have mentioned an iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak tool is coming soon. Therefore, we advise Apple fans to not get their hopes high and wait for official confirmation first.

Brandon Azad

The only reliable piece of information that we have about the upcoming jailbreak tool is that Brandon Azad is planning to attend a technical conference in September and that’s where he will reveal an iOS exploit that is compatible with iOS 11.4. Let’s hope that Apple doesn’t fix the exploit Brandon Azan plans to reveal.

Difficult Development Process

From what we can tell, the development process for the highly anticipated iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak tool is more difficult than expected and the tool might not be available in September or October. Therefore, jailbreak fans will need to wait a little longer until they can install Cydia and benefit from all the features that it has to offer.

Meridian Jailbreak Tool

On another note, the folks who are in charge of the Meridian iOS jailbreak have released the final version of the tool which is compatible with 64-bit iOS 10 – 10.3.3 devices. The Meridian jailbreak tool adds support for iPhone 7 and it allows users to install Cydia on their iPhones.

The tool is designed for devices that run on iOS 10 and it has been created by the Meridian team with PsychoTea, Siguaza and many others.

Meridian Jailbreak Tool

The new jailbreak tool is supported by 64-bit devices that run on iOS 10.0 – 10.3.3. The interesting thing about the Meridian jailbreak tool is the fact that it acts as an extension to other iOS 10 jailbreak tools such as the one produced by Luca Todesco (Yalu102). Nonetheless, the only thing that matters is that Meridian jailbreak tool gives iOS users access to Cydia.

Added iPhone 7 Support

The previously mentioned jailbreak tool created by Luca Todesco (Yalu102) didn’t support iPhone 7. Fortunately, the Meridian jailbreak tool can be used on an iPhone 7 without any issues. With that being said, let’s check out what jailbreak fans need to do in order to install the brand-new tool.

Installing the New Jailbreak Tool

Apple fans who want to jailbreak their 64-bit device that runs on iOS 10.0 – 10.3.3 need to download the official Meridian IPA file and then sideload it into their devices with Cydia. All that’s left now is to run the jailbreak installation process by tapping on the “go” button which is can be found in the middle of the UI (user interface). We should also mention that the Meridian jailbreak tool is untethered which means that Apple fans will need to re-run it every time they restart their devices.

Clash Royale Latest August Update Targets Tesla, Bomb Tower and the Inferno Dragon

Clash Royale holds the title of being one of the most popular mobile games in the word. The reason behind Clash Royale’s success is quite simple, Supercell keeps refreshing the game’s content through constant updates that introduce new features, cards, software tweaks, balance changes and bug fixes. Therefore, Clash Royale fans never get bored because something new is always coming their way.

Since we are talking about Clash Royale updates, fans of the mobile game should be happy to know that Supercell released a major balance change update on August 6th that introduced a bunch of buffs and nerfs. With that being said, let’s check out which are the cards that received the biggest changes.

Tesla

As all Clash Royale fans already know, Tesla is one of the most popular defensive buildings in the game because of its hit speed. Unfortunately, Supercell noticed that Tesla is a bit overpowered and decided to nerf Tesla’s lifespan and hit speed in order to make it easier for attackers to destroy it.

Bomb Tower

The Bomb Tower is also a highly popular building, but it’s not overpowered at all. Therefore, Supercell decided to reduce the cost of building it to four elixirs from five, while tweaking out some of its power. The Bomb Tower will now feature a lifespan of 35 (reduced from 40) and its hitpoints have also been reduced to 33.

Inferno Dragon

Dragons are the perfect troops for attacking enemies because of their range. Furthermore, the Inferno Dragon is a top pick for Clash Royale fans who want to defeat their foes and it looks like Supercell wants that to change. The reason we are saying this is because Supercell has decreased Inferno Dragon’s range from 4.0 to 3.5 tiles. Nonetheless, Inferno Dragon is still a powerful card even after this nerf.
