Infinix NOTE 60 Pro: Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 CPU, 144Hz OLED display, 6500mAh battery

The Infinix NOTE 60 series is now official. We’ll be talking about the vanilla model in a separate article. For this one, we’ll be focusing on the more premium Infinix NOTE 60 Pro. Let’s get the obvious out of the way: the design of the Infinix NOTE 60 Pro is inspired by the new iPhone 17 Pro series . It has a wide camera island, similar to Apple’s Camera Plateau, and comes with that unmistakable orange colorway. But, it has one trick up its sleeve. That camera island holds the Active Matrix Display. It’s a dot-style display that shows pixel icons, emojis, pets, time, weather, and more. You can also play mini games on this one. That island also holds the 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide. On the front, there’s a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, has 4,500-nit peak brightness, and is protected by a Corning Gorilla 7i. A 13-megapixel selfie camera is on top. Per usual, this Infinix smartphone is equipped ...

Windows Secure Boot certificates from 2011 to expire this year

Windows-Secure-Boot-certificats-2011-expire

The original Secure Boot certificates, which began shipping as a new feature for Windows PCs in 2011, will start expiring in 2026.

In an announcement, Microsoft said the original Secure Boot certificates, issued in 2011, will expire this June. They added that PCs that are not updated will enter a degraded security state once the certificates expire.

This is the first time the said security feature will experience since its introduction in 2011.

For the unfamiliar, Security Boot is a security feature shipped with PCs and is enabled by default. This measure protects the PC from security vulnerabilities that it’s exposed to during the boot process and before Windows is fully loaded.

If your PC was bought from 2011 to 2023, make sure it’s updated. Microsoft said that most PCs that came out on those years will automatically receive a new Secure Boot certificate, albeit some will require additional firmware from their OEM.

Meanwhile, most PCs from 2024 already shipped with the updated certificates. So if your PC is fairly new, there’s nothing to worry about.

This article, Windows Secure Boot certificates from 2011 to expire this year, was originally published at NoypiGeeks | Philippines Technology News, Reviews and How to's.

The “IP” in the IP code stands for Ingress Protection, an internationally recognized standard defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that indicates the level of dust and water protection of a gadget, such as a mobile phone or other electronic device.
