Before jumping to conclusions that your GPU is responsible for poor performance, rule out potential software issues or hardware problems with other components that might cause similar symptoms. Signs like loud fan noise, better performance with integrated graphics, excessive heat at minimal load, low FPS, and frequent crashes indicate hardware issues with your GPU. If your GPU is still under warranty and you notice these signs, get it replaced by the manufacturer. If there's no warranty, seek local help to assess if repairs can be done. GPUs are crucial components handling graphic-intensive tasks. While highly durable, they eventually wear out and start failing. Before reaching its final moments, they usually exhibit signs of impending failure, signaling the need for timely repairs or replacement. This guide outlines these signs.

The beta release of Ubuntu 24.04 will not be launched tomorrow as planned but has been postponed by one week due to security nightmares with XZ and a desire to rebuild packages out of an abundance of caution.
Canonical has decided to rebuild all binary packages for Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) after compromised XZ code was found within the xz-utils package. While there's no indication that other packages have been compromised as a result of this, as a precautionary measure, they are rebuilding all binaries in their build after compiling the hazardous XZ package.
Researchers from Proofpoint and Team Cymru uncovered this new threat, noting that its capabilities are still experimental and not fully stable.
IcedID, initially identified in 2017 as a banking trojan, evolved over time to become a sophisticated loader that can deliver various types of malware, including ransomware, to infected systems.
Visa has issued a warning regarding a surge in detections of a new variant of the JsOutProx malware, posing a significant threat to financial institutions and their customers.
According to a security alert from Visa's Payment Fraud Disruption (PDF) unit, distributed to card issuers, processors, and acquirers, the company became aware of a fresh phishing campaign distributing the remote access trojan on March 27, 2024. This campaign specifically targeted financial institutions across South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
JsOutProx, initially encountered in December 2019, is a highly obfuscated JavaScript backdoor and remote access trojan (RAT). It enables threat actors to execute shell commands, download additional payloads, capture screenshots, establish persistence on infected devices, and manipulate keyboard and mouse controls.
While Visa's Payment Fraud Disruption unit could not ascertain the exact objectives of the recent malware campaign, it's suspected that the eCrime group behind it may have previously targeted financial institutions for fraudulent activities.
Microsoft has successfully addressed a critical issue that has been causing erroneous security alerts in Outlook desktop applications when opening .ICS calendar files. This problem surfaced after users installed the December 2023 security updates for Outlook Desktop.
The security updates issued during the December Patch Tuesday aimed to fix the CVE-2023-35636 vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook, which had the potential to disclose sensitive information. Attackers could exploit this vulnerability to steal NTLM hashes through specially crafted files. These credentials could then be used in pass-the-hash attacks to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or to spread laterally across networks.
Disk Partitioning serves as the foundational step in organizing disk storage. By dividing disks into distinct sections, each functioning independently, users gain control over file management, multi-boot configurations, and data organization.
Types of Disk Partitions
There exist three primary types of partitions:
File Systems and Their Significance
File systems dictate data storage and retrieval methods, influencing performance and compatibility. Linux offers a range of tools like fdisk, gdisk, and parted for effective disk partitioning.
The Basics of Logical Volume Management (LVM)
LVM presents a flexible approach to disk management, facilitating dynamic resizing, snapshot creation, and consolidation of multiple disks into a unified virtual disk.
LVM offers:
Components of LVM
The process involves disk preparation, partition creation, formatting, and mounting to ensure accessibility.
Implementing Logical Volume Management (LVM)
Implementing LVM entails preparing physical volumes, creating volume groups, and defining logical volumes for advanced management capabilities.
Advanced LVM Features
Advanced LVM functionalities such as snapshotting, thin provisioning, and volume mirroring/stripping enhance data management and performance.
Real-World Applications
Disk partitioning and LVM find application across diverse scenarios, from multi-boot setups to efficient database management, catering to personal and enterprise needs alike.
Tools and Resources
Graphical tools like GParted and system-config-lvm complement command-line utilities, with online forums and documentation offering support and guidance.
Mastering Linux disk management optimizes storage capabilities, whether through traditional partitioning or advanced LVM features. Understanding these concepts empowers users to tailor disk space to their precise requirements.
