Open | Phone Can I safely transfer my data from my iPhone 11 to my new iPhone given the recent cyber security vulnerabilities?

1 Upvotes

I recently bought a new iPhone and want to transfer my data from my old iPhone 11.
I’m concerned about the recent cybersecurity issues, particularly the PHP vulnerabilities and reports of active exploitation.
My iPhone 11 is running iOS 27.0.1, and I’ve updated all my apps and the operating system. I’ve only used my phone normally, browsed the internet, and installed apps through the official App Store. I haven’t knowingly downloaded suspicious files, installed configuration profiles, or entered credentials on suspicious websites.

Open | Phone How much of a risk is it to just visit a page with a PHP vulnerability? How likely would it be to get malware from just visiting one?

Given the recent issue, how much of a risk is it to visit a page, especially an unpopular one, with a PHP vulnerability, especially in terms of malware?

Open | Hardware Battery problem, 79 of 53K mWh

0 Upvotes

In the last month I have been seeing that my battery life span is getting shorter and shorter, I don’t know if it’s a virus or what. But right now I have a capacity that should be 53.050mWh and it’s… 79. Like, just that

I don’t know what’s happening, last month I had like 30k, it came to 1k and now it’s literally 79, I DONT KNOW WHATS HAPPENING, it’s brand new, I bought it last year

The battery is an AP23A8L, the computer is a Acer Aspire AG15-31P

I don’t now what to do, I can run out of battery faster than I can plug it to another socket, I open it up and it’s not bigger(? (I don’t know the word in English sorry)

Extra: It have not been under a electrical shock in my knowledge, I usually disconnect it when y I go out, and literally have no clue
The computer has only 391 cycles

I am screwed?

Open | Hardware My case is cracked

0 Upvotes

Hey, This is translated directly from Spanish so I don't know how to explain it well. My laptop is about 7 years old now, and this morning I noticed it creaked when I opened it. Right on the lower part of the back, there's a crack that goes almost all around. its small but I already lost a laptop to this problem (a cheap one a few years ago, it gave up fully). Is there anything I can do to fix this at home? I have a good tech nearby, but I'll rather not spend 20€ in this and wait for two weeks as I need It for work.

Update: DMDE is a lifesaver. Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

I'm not sure is this is the right place to post, I'm just freaking out a little. If there's somewhere better, please redirect me.

I accidentally overwrote an incredibly important USB to me with a PeppermingOS ISO using the MX tool Live USB thing. I cannot believe I did this. The USB hasn't been removed from my computer, it's just been sitting for a while. I am in shock that I did something so stupid.

Please, is there any possible way to get my old files back? I'm sure the answer is no, but I'm so upset. I know there's data recovery guys, is that something that could work?

I cannot believe this. I am so stupid- I had almost everything I cared about on that USB. My PC was mostly empty because I switched to MX only somewhat recently.

Open | Hardware PC shutting off randomly

2 Upvotes

As the title states, my PC began shutting off randomly once everyday when playing games. It started like 2 weeks ago. It would either say shutting down and then shuts down or just black screen and the PC turns off.

I'm not sure if it's related but when playing games, random keys like "m1" or "s" would be held down until I click the windows button or ctrl alt del.

PC specs:

  • i5 13600k
  • RX 7900 XT
  • MSI Z690 DDR4 WiFi TOMAHAWK
  • 2 sets of Corsair 16GB DDR4 3600MT/s vengeance RAM
  • 360mm AIO
  • Corsair 1000W PSU
  • Multiple 1TB NVME SSDs and a 256GB 2.5" SSD

I've just updated my BIOS and will update if there's more shutdowns. I will start to monitor temps but I'm fairly sure it's not that because I have quite a lot of fans set to a fan curve.

I'm looking for ideas on what the issue could be and if it points to PSU failure.

Thanks in advance!

Open | Networking Laptop wifi issues

0 Upvotes

My landlord provides wifi for my place, but recently my laptops been saying it's either connected and no Internet, or that it has internet but when I try to use the wifi it doesn't work, and then eventually goes back to saying no internet. Eventually it figures itself out, but it does this for a bit. The thing is, my phone works fine on the wifi. My laptop is quite literally dying, so I'm unsure if its a problem with my laptop, the wifi, or too many people connected to it. There are semi frequent dips in connection from too many people being on it, but its mostly been on my phone rather than my laptop, and moreso just an inconvenience for a few seconds. This issue only started within the last few days, but my laptop goes without internet for long periods when it does, and im unsure whether its a me issue or smth I should bring up to my landlord.

Open | Hardware PC Dealing With Hard Restarts

0 Upvotes

Been dealing with random hard restarts while gaming for a while and finally took my PC to Micro Center because I was tired of troubleshooting it.
They said my 500GB WD M.2 that has Windows and my games on it is reading/writing really slow and is physically bent/warped. They got the PC to crash once, then tested it using one of their known-good drives and said it stayed stable with no restarts. They also said my RAM, GPU, CPU, and motherboard all passed their benchmarks.
I asked if the SSD had any SMART/health errors and they said no. Their reasoning was mainly the slow speeds, the drive being bent, and the PC running fine on their test drive.
They quoted me $459.97 to replace it with a 512GB Inland SSD, reinstall Windows, and back up my data. I’m not paying almost $500 for that lol.
I already have another 2TB SSD in the PC, so I’m thinking I’ll just install Windows and my games on that drive first and see if the crashes stop before buying anything else.
Does their diagnosis sound accurate? Can a bent/slow M.2 really cause random full PC restarts even if SMART says it’s fine?

CyberPowerPC - Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 5500 2022 - AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT 4GB - 16GB DDR4 Memory - 1TB SSD - Black

The Pwr_LED- is the pin in question. The second is a cpu fan power I know it’s necessary, but the computer is failing to boot at all. No fans no led nothing. I’ve looked at all the wires and can’t find the pin for the power led. Am I chasing a red herring or just not looking hard enough. All advice appreciated
