Three Letters Are Enough To Crash Safari Browser on iPhone

0
Safari Browser on iPhone

Many iPhone users have complained of facing issues with the Safari Browser of their devices in the last few days. According to multiple reports, Safari is crashing for some users when a combination of three letter terms is entered into the search bar. The browsers seem to be hit with an uncommon bug that is the reason Safari crashes whenever some users are entering terms such as “bes,” “wal” or “tar.”

As strange as it may sound, many tech experts were quick to point out that these terms are the first few letters of the name of some of the popular retail chain outlets. For instance, “bes” is for Best Buy, “wal” is for Walmart, and “tar” is for Target. Apart from this, no other pattern or similarities have been noticeable in the bug and its results.

One Twitter user tweeted about this issue and tweeted, “Does anyone else’s iPhone crash or Safari quits when you type in “bes” into the search bar in Safari? Running iOS 16.1.1 #iPhone #iOS16.”

However, tech enthusiasts have noticed one common ground the users’ reports are primarily coming from the United States, Florida and California regions.

According to a report published in a leading tech publication, “The bug isn’t reproducible by everyone, so it appears to be some kind of server-side issue for those affected. The bug occurs by opening Safari and typing “wal,” “bes,” or “tar” into the address bar. Safari crashes in some instances without further input, or when a space is entered. Users reporting the issue appear to be from California and Florida. It also seems that they are using the Google search engine for Safari on iPhone.”

Safari Browser on iPhone

The report further added that the error can be triggered by typing three letters into the Safari search bar. Another finding reveals that somehow the bug only triggers when the Google search bar is set as the default mode in Safari. This was clearly checked by tech researchers who said that any other browser set as default in Safari might not face the same issue.

Since the report of this never-heard-before bug has been emerging on social media and other tech news portals, users have been waiting to have an official word from Apple. However, the brand hasn’t even acknowledged the issue till the time this story was written.

Meanwhile, tech experts have suggested that users should go for alternative browsing options until the brand at least acknowledges the issues and later work for a resolution. Users who are facing issues with Safari as it keeps on crashing down can install a separate browser on their devices. A separate browser will allow users to keep on using the device even though they would not be able to use one of the prominent features of the device.

Interestingly, many users who were facing the Safari crashing issue also claimed that the issue was getting resolved on its own for them after some hours passed. Again, there was no official update on whether the brand is aware of the complaints or whether they are already working to resolve them, a result of that work is what some users reported.

Twitter CEO Issues Ultimatum; Tells Employees to Honour Work Culture

Elon Musk lose $200 billion
Elon Musk

In Brief

It seems like things don’t seem to be improving in the Twitter-Elon Musk war, which has intensified following a massive courtroom battle between the two parties and even now, after Musk has taken over as Twitter CEO, no mending of relations is in sight.

The Musk-Twitter war began nearly a year back when the Tesla CEO expressed his desire to purchase Twitter for a whopping $44 billion, only to go back on his word later on citing that the company had employees with a nefarious reputation.

Twitter, not to take things lying down, asked Musk to go ahead with the deal, only to be rebuked by the latter, thereby leaving the social media giant with no choice but to knock on the doors of justice.

Now with Musk having taken over as Twitter CEO, he has fired more than 90% employees of Indian origin in order to ‘clean’ up the place as he feels that the Twitter app has gone slow in many countries, especially India and Indonesia, for which he has resolved to take drastic measures.

Musk has been so focused on making things better for Twitter that it has left Tesla investors in a state of alarm as they feel that he is neglecting is duties as CEO of their company, which they have clarified with him.

Furthermore, he has issued an ultimatum to the leftover employees to pull up their socks and start working for 40 hours a week as he wants them to commit to a ‘hardcore’ culture at the company, for which they need to sign an online form committing to ‘long hours with high intensity’ in the office.

If any employee fails to sign the form, then he/she will have no choice but to leave with a severance pay of three months because, in his email to the employees, Musk has made it clear that he prefers engineers to designers, along with project designers as he envisions Twitter to become a software and servers company.

Immediately after taking over as Twitter CEO, Elon Musk has fired many a top executive, along with nearly 3,800 employees as also those who’ve criticized him publicly, prompting those holding key positions on Twitter like legal compliance team, cybersecurity unit, etc. to resign in protest.

Conclusion

It remains to be seen as to what will be the employees’ response to their new boss’ email and how many of them will comply to work for so many hours, and how many will prefer resigning.

Berkshire Hathaway

Highlights

  • TSMC makes chips for the likes of Apple, Qulacomm and Nvidia
  • Berkshire also disclosed new stakes in Louisiana-Pacific
  • TSMC posted an 80 percent jump in quarterly profit last month

Brief Summary

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is one of the biggest conglomerates in America that owns many companies like Dairy Queen, GEICO, Duracell, BNSF Railway, Fruit of the Loom, Lubrizol, Pampered Chef, etc. to name a few.

The company has now acquired more than $4.1 billion of stock in the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), which is one of the rare forays of the company into the tech sector, owned by Warren Buffett, a renowned business magnate.

The news has boosted investment for TSMC and it witnessed a massive 7.9% upsurge, which has revived the fortunes of the largest contract chipmaker in the world, as the company’s shares had plunged a two year low in October 2022 as global chip demand had plummeted to an abysmal level.

TSMC

TSMC has many foreign investors like BlackRock and Vanguard Group, US asset managers both, and Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC. It is not in Berkshire’s nature to make bets in the technology field as it normally goes for companies that has an advantage in competitiveness, at least in terms of size.

TSMC, being peerless in manufacturing chipsets, whose clients include the likes of Apple, Samsung, Nvidia, Qualcomm, among others, which had also jumped in the quarterly last month by a whopping 80%, although owing to surging demand, it had to strike cautiously.

Warren Buffett is the founder/CEO of Berkshire and has managed the massive conglomerate since 1965, which is nearly six decades, while the man himself is a ripe 92 years in age.

Berkshire has disclosed new stakes of $297 million Louisiana Pacific, which deals in building materials while in Jefferson Financial Group it has nearly $14 million in stakes.

Apart from these, it has also come out of an investment in Store Capital, which has just recently gone private from being a real estate company, which is a whole new story.

Conclusion

All in all, Berkshire Hathaway has had mixed success in the technological field, even though it had a six-year wager in IBM in the last 10 years but it didn’t do much for the company it seems, while it also has a whopping $126.5 billion stake of unrealized gains in Apple.

Elon Musk Confirms No Free Lunches on Twitter; Move to Save $13 Million

No Free Lunches on Twitter
Elon Musk

In Brief

It seems that things are going to be drastically different on Twitter ever since Elon Musk has taken over the social media platform for a whopping $44 million. However, the path hasn’t been easy either for Musk or Twitter as they’ve both had to deal with rough troughs to reach this destination.

Elon Musk, newly anointed Twitter CEO, has declared that he will be applying new cost-cutting measures so that things are managed easily, like, for example, recently issuing a notice that there will be no free lunches at the San Francisco headquarters of Twitter.

Musk has made it clear that he will be cutting down costs wherever necessary in order to save funds, which is why he has declared that from now on, Twitter employees will pay their lunch expenses from their own pockets in the firm’s cafeteria.

He has done this because each lunch’s cost has exceeded $400 in the past year, thereby shooting the annual food service cost at San Francisco headquarters to a whopping $13 million.

It seems that disagreements have erupted between the Twitter CEO and Tracy Hawkins, a former employee, in employee occupancy, where the former has claimed that peak occupancy rate for employees was 25%, while 10% was the average occupancy rate.

These numbers have been vehemently disputed by Hawkins, who has claimed that office occupancy rate has always been between 20% and 50%, which prompted other employees to also jump into the argument, where many of them accused Musk of destroying the company’s work culture.

There are many others who also criticized the free lunch program by claiming that it was not a normal right but a privilege. With Elon Musk sending a letter to all Twitter employees, issuing an ultimatum to work in office for 40 hours a week, it seems things are only going from bad to worse.

No Free Lunches on Twitter

Conclusion

With the situation escalating out of control, it seems that Musk has a lot more to live up to in the eyes of Twitter employees, most of whom are none too pleased with the Tesla CEO’s takeover of the platform and would rather look for a new and better alternative to manage their organization.

New Leader to Manage Twitter
Elon Musk

Brief Summary

Elon Musk has now become the owner of Twitter by purchasing the social media platform for a whopping $44 million and after engaging in a year-long courtroom battle with Twitter after he went back on his claim to purchase, prompting Twitter investors to file a case against him to reconsider.

The Tesla CEO has become completely involved with Twitter by bringing up drastic changes in the company’s working policies and firing nearly 90% of Indian employees.

He had further claimed that the Twitter app was running slow in many countries, especially India and Indonesia, for which he has asked the leftover employees to manage things out quickly.

However, it seems that Musk’s dedication to Twitter has put Tesla investors in a state of agitation as they feel that their CEO is concentrating more on his newly acquired platform and neglecting Tesla completely.

This is why Musk has decided to find someone new to lead Twitter as he wants to reduce his time here and focus on Tesla for some time, which is why he wants the organizational restructuring of the company to be completed in the earliest possible time.

New Leader to Manage Twitter

It was only after Tesla shares plunged by 3% did the investors became alarmed and asked Musk to shift his focus back on the company, thereby prompting Musk to oblige given the serious situation.

Musk further clarified that Tesla engineers have also assisted in evaluating Twitter’s team of engineers, although he added that it was on a ‘voluntary basis’ and ‘after hours’.

It has been barely two weeks since Elon Musk took over Twitter, which has been a period of change and chaos, where he lost no time in firing the previous chief executive of the company, along with many senior leaders, whilst laying off nearly half of the staff in October 2022.

Conclusion

Musk has issued an ultimatum to Twitter employees to clarify whether they want to continue in the company to work for 40 hours a week with high intensity or take a massive severance package of three months of pay, which they will reply to very soon.
