Clue which way this is going to go because of a meant to have been huge in this contest at stake a place in the 2nd week of the Round of 16 back a little bit later thanks so much it well it's all about gadgets and technology on our phone in tonight if you're having any problems or you need something explaining you can talk to our expert Sea-Tac up in goal 080-859-0969 extension 3 you can text us on a 5 o 58 you can e-mail us as well up all night at b.b.c. Don't go to u.k. Or you can get in touch with us on social media using at b.b.c. 5 Live now basically that's taken us all the way through the whole program just getting through that far that part of it there is pretty much half hour program fantasy a very good morning to Howie morning on well thank you it's very good to be talking to you does I was looking at some of the things that you you've got to talk about tonight that's quite a lot of hardware in there isn't the right with a not the sort of like the interesting things like new phones being released or new huge bits of technology that is about it's a lot about the things that are in sa need Yes So for example. We heard about the fact that the processes that are in almost every computer that we use be a desktop laptop tablet or smartphone or potentially affected by 2 security flaws in the actual chips one is called Specter and the other one is called meltdown and Intel particularly badly here in the Intel processors are big terms of both of those. A.m.d. An arm and some of the other process the manufacturers slightly less so I would say that is so an evolving picture but but it is interesting because these what they found is a technique that is being used in making processes faster for the last 20 years has got serious security flaw and it is possible to write software that takes advantage of that. I guess one would call it a design flaw it's not a it's not a bug in the traditional sense of being in software it's possible to get malware onto a computer that can actually just if it's cleverly written just bleed out the information that goes through the process and everything in an unencrypted form so you know passwords keys security keys all that sort of thing so this fun ability Normally you hear about vulnerabilities you know from Windows or mac Oh s. Or whatever and after a short while a patch is producer to say piece of software that corrects the software error the difference here is that the error is in the hardware it's the way the hardware works and therefore although the software patches I haven't are being produced to to mitigate this risk it can only ever mitigate it will never go away and for the life of that computer and you can't even go by computer and be quite confident that it's not in that one it will probably be even usually announce chips for the next year or 2 at least given what the developments like of processes is and and also how when they come to fix it how will they fix it without making computers a lot slower because it was a speeding up function that they they took advantage of it's basically was a predictive function so well that one things that processes do is in their spare time they trying to guess what you might want what the program might want to know or do next and then it does it now often it's right in which case that's an official thing to do because it's all you know that result is then waiting but sometimes it has to throw that result way because the you know it predicted the program was going to turn right to turn left as it were and therefore that's not needed and so this predictive capability was being used because when the processor throws it away it was trying in a way in an unsecured area and and very hard. To secure that sort of thrown away information so it is possible to write software that would cause all sorts of data to be passed through the process as a prediction and then thrown away and them read by by the malware says so if you take away that ability because that's where the the the florists Yeah what do we have to live with slower computers than we thought we were God Yeah I mean depending on what you're doing so if you're doing gaming where the majority of the the work is done by you know graphics processors and not what import output base you know terms of bringing in data putting back out again processing data then that's less affected If however you're running something that sort of days by race related then that's that could be you know slowed down by 30 percent by disabling that feature. And the problem with that is all those hours where I don't run databases Well the Internet is pretty much a database so all the servers you know these huge server farms that you know take up the size of several football pitches h. Or with these row on row of computer that serve up web pages they're all potentially hit and particularly because of the way that service work where often you get more than one website sitting on a particular server or customer service and what that means is that it's possible for people to create even Web sites to breach server farms and get into everything else that's connected to that and so that's that's a really big problem and although. Although it's not just Intel that is hit by that because I am days hit by that and use my thing well you know all of a Mt computers about the arm is hit by that no arm you may not know the name or I know you know that I have a list of mine on more than one. That is used that technology. He's used in the Boss majority of tablets and smartphones including Apple stuff so you say I work no hold on Apple produce apple chips well they do but they do it using license license technology from the underlying technology of Apple so I know a 10 a 10 x. And all those sorts of processes in its i Pads and i Phones is ultimately is which by the way was a British company and so very recently it's a great shame that's one of the crown jewels of with lost so this is a problem in terms of how do we make ourselves secure now what vote to we do about this going forward because it's not even an easy thing for them to fix so it means that we're going to have this sort of vulnerability in addition to all the software ones that will still be coming up we're going to have this underlying weakness and. This is been going on for 20 years. So one has to say you know although we don't have any evidence that anyone's been utilizing it you know frankly if anyone used has been utilizing it's probably you know the CIA or someone I suspect say their Yeah well yes because well they have form on this don't they because that there were other security weaknesses vulnerabilities that when they came to the attention of the CIA instead of bringing it to the manufacturer's attention so they could fix it they decided to keep in quotes keep it secret and develop the talkies of software tools to to to allow them to sort out them to take advantage of the vulnerability and use that to spawn upon others now you could say well that's well and good that's what we you know that's what we want the CIA to be doing. And. The problem with that is that it's shown that it's that they were unable to keep those cyber weapons under wraps which is a bit like having a nuclear arsenal but not being you know you have to stop your enemies from taking control of it and in fact if you think back to the want to cry outbreak which was that ransomware outbreak which we're told was an attack by North Korea is the one that hit the n.h.s. And many other organizations across the world that although that may have come the attack may have come from North Korea it was made using tools stolen from the CIA. So Scott that and that there in lies the problem so you've got these vulnerabilities. The industry has been working. Secretly you know Intel and others have been sharing what they know with software manufacturers and the idea was for them to be able to patch the problem to fix a problem in software with these mitigated in software before any any of us got to know about it unfortunately for them you know others found the vulnerability and published before they had finished patching it so there's still the still the loss of the patches are going in and some of those patches Intel released a patch very hard Lee and then found that actually sort of Mark's off really surprised me how would they have found that on Mt chips it calls them to crash which was an abscess a problem they probably withdrew the patch so it's all a big mess at the moment and this is in a sense you know if you know the expression we're all in it together with this time we really are all in it together because no one's going to be really truly protected from this which makes. Perhaps think about the fact that you know we should always think about what we store in computers in particular what we store knowing which is just another way of storing it on someone else's computers on the server farm in America you know what I want because anything that we commit to a computer is not completely safe never was but this is this is this brings into focus the fact that really it isn't completely safe and you should think very carefully about what you're prepared to put online I did also think just as an adult thought that. Although other processes are affected the Intel ones Augie be more effective because they're susceptible to Specter and meltdown which are sort of. Variants that say. In the past I would have said well yeah but it's still better to stick with Intel chips because they're clearly the best processor chips but actually in the last year or year and a half a.m.t. Have made something of a comeback I mean up until then for the 1015 years before that the stock advice was by Intel you know the a.m.t. Chips run halts that they're not as powerful they're not as well designed but with the launch of a m D's Royson chips are wise that he n. That started to change Intel was found to be somewhat resting on its laurels because. It got caught out because as the world moved away from desktop and even that to P.C.'s P.C.'s towards. Mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones it was it was left with processes that were inappropriate they were far too high energy usage for those sorts of devices that will help for that stops and so most of the last few years Intel's been concentrating on making their chips faster and faster which was always the way but rather trying to make the more energy efficient so much so that Moore's Law This idea that every 18 months the computer power of walk systems doubles Moore's Law came under threat and and so much so that they took their eye off the ball in my view and a.m.d. Of sorts now hold them up on them with these rising chips and. On the one viable alternative and given the combination spectrum meltdown may actually be a better choice in terms of again 20 just to mitigate the risk we're just going to jump and we're going to go back to the tennis. It set point for Nicklaus past nationally 54030 do it on his back and cross court as a slice of his long from car Lead been colored men to British Number 2 he's going to reach the round of 16 the straight and open he's going to have to do it the hard way in searing heat because bass nationally leads by 2 says to want to know will have to complete just his 3rd career at 5 set match when all of that Korea the 1st one coming Ellie this week as the 11th. Meant he trails that Nicklaus by 2 sets to one more a bit later on let's go to the phone lines because George in Devon is give me a ring George very good morning to you good morning to you how are you. Ok I'm. Very blind and I can use my mobo phone anymore and I just need them out because I think you are given 5 attempts to go through to you on my hand. But knowing there are I'm told by the action top line I went to a meeting recently. Technology there but nobody's doing about it but I can make a move on the prime people very easily so why don't I. Hello George good morning I'm sorry to hear you know you having problems between getting through. Dead mom Obama phones which all designed for use point blind people door opened up a mile may. You have used a small phone or is it a no I don't know which one it is but it was recommended by action. Is easy to use but I can dial on it because I can see yeah you don't need a screen we don't need e-mail we don't need to. Text messages because we can't see the screen anyway favor moved all of I haven't replaced it was something which is voice recognition. The idea is that you can pick if pressing buttons and say taxi or say saying is press so say a surgery and it will die make it once you remove the screen all the other rubbish in there but it's all rubbish for people about vision but it's ready for people who've come to see you know if they remove all of back it opens up a big space in the back of a fund to put other things in for some people are blind you know so I heard recently that. 300000000 units are very well made up of maybe at least because more wide. They got no records of any people who are blind in China and those millions. Behind in China and India they go by the paper might. Go by and people understand it is a great. But I can use it Ok so the door rows are not specifically made for blind people they're them that they're made for people that have. In some cases vision impairment but more partial sighted than complete blindness there are Georgia are 2 approaches that manufacturers used to to allow blind people t
