Microsoft is warning users that some manually made Windows 11 installer media could contain a bug where new PC installs may not get future security updates. It affects USB and CD installers made with October and November release patches, which may be relevant to professional users who set up PCs within business or education environments, or enthusiasts who recently built their own PCs.
Microsoft published the bug in its known issues page for Windows 11 (version 24H2):
When using media to install Windows 11, version 24H2, the device might remain in a state where it cannot accept further Windows security updates. This occurs only when the media is created to include the October 2024, or November 2024, security updates as part of the installation (these updates were released between October 8, 2024 and November 12, 2024).
This does not affect PCs that received the October or November patches through Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
Mitigating the problem will require you to rebuild your Windows 11 media installers with the December 2024 patch update included (released on December 10th) and reinstall Windows. (To avoid it altogether, Microsoft suggests that “that media used to install Windows 11, version 24H2, includes the December 2024 monthly security update.”) Microsoft says it’s working on a permanent fix.
Bleeping Computer reported that Windows 11 24H2 also had other bugs in tow, including problems with specific audio devices, issues launching Outlook with an outdated Google Workspace Sync, and others. There was also that weird 24H2 compatibility issue with some Ubisoft games, which are slowly receiving fixes.
2025 is about to begin, and Apple looks set to kick off the year with several strong product launches. Here’s a look at five new products expected to arrive soon in early 2025.

Season 2 of Squid Game was released on December 26 — in a choice, thematic decision — and Google Search is marking the occasion with an easter egg.

It looks like we won’t have to wait long to find out what happens in the next installment of Netflix’s addictive and deadly drama Squid Game. The Netflix-owned blog Tudum announced the South Korean drama will return next year for its third and final season.
The first season ended with winner Seong Gi-hun, played by Emmy winner Lee Jung-Jae, leaving his newfound wealth to dismantle the titular game. Since then, we’ve learned in sneak previews and the Season 2 trailer that Seong's plan is to rejoin the deadly competition and convince the players to vote for the games to stop. Something tells me it’s not going to be that simple.
The second season of Squid Game just landed today on Netflix after a three-year wait.

ChatGPT isn’t working for many users right now. With numerous reports on social media, we also confirmed that the chatbot loads but isn’t able to respond to queries, while others are seeing an “internal server error” message.
It looks like the outage started around 1:30PM ET, which is when reports began to spike on Down Detector. At 2PM ET, OpenAI posted an update to its status page, saying ChatGPT, the API, and its text-to-video generator Sora are “currently experiencing high error rates.” An update posted at 2:18PM ET said the issue is “caused by an upstream provider” and that OpenAI is currently monitoring the situation.
At 3:06PM ET, OpenAI said it’s “continuing to work on a fix.” There’s no mention of an ETA for when access will be restored.
ChatGPT has gone down a few times in the past several months. Just days after OpenAI released Sora to ChatGPT subscribers earlier this month, the video generation tool and ChatGPT went down for hours. Meanwhile, a widespread outage affecting AI tools brought down ChatGPT in June.
Update, December 26th: Added an update from OpenAI.
The , with an MSRP that’s half the price of the Apple Studio Display, yields the same 5K resolution (5120×2880) in a similar 27-inch form factor. If you’re looking for a more affordable 5K display when compared to the Studio Display, it’s worth your consideration. Watch my hands-on video review, and subscribe to 9to5Mac on YouTube for more.

Since the release of iOS 18.2 on December 11, ChatGPT integration has been an integral part of Apple Intelligence. Provided you own a recent iPhone, iPad or Mac, you can access OpenAI’s chatbot directly from your device, with no need to go through the ChatGPT app or web client.
ChatGPT is a generative AI chatbot created by OpenAI and powered by a large language machine-learning model. In addition to the capability to interact with people using natural language, ChatGPT can search the web, solve complex math and coding problems, as well as generate text, images and audio. As of the writing of this article, the current version of ChatGPT is based on OpenAI’s GPT-4o and 4o mini models.
In June 2024, Apple announced it was partnering with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence. While some of ChatGPT’s signature features are available directly within iOS, iPadOS and macOS, many, such as Advanced Voice Mode, can only be accessed through the ChatGPT app or the OpenAI website.
On iPhone, ChatGPT is primarily available through three surfaces. First, Siri can turn to ChatGPT to answer your questions. In instances where Apple’s digital assistant determines ChatGPT can help it assist you better, it will ask you for your permission to share your request with OpenAI. You can also use ChatGPT to identify places and objects through the iPhone 16’s Camera Control menu.
Lastly, you can get ChatGPT's help when using Apple's new “Writing Tools.” Essentially, anytime you’re typing with the iPhone’s built-in keyboard, including in first-party apps like Notes, Mail and Messages, ChatGPT can help you compose text. Finding this feature can be a bit tricky, so here's how to access it:
Long press on a section of text to bring up iOS 18's text selection tool.
Tap Writing Tools. You may need to tap the arrow icon for the option to appear.
Select Compose.
Tap Compose with ChatGPT, and write a prompt describing what you'd like ChatGPT to write for you.
No, an OpenAI account is not required to use ChatGPT on iPhone. However, if you have a paid subscription, you can use ChatGPT features on your device more often. Signing into your account will also save any requests to your ChatGPT history.
If your iPhone hasn’t prompted you to enable ChatGPT already, you can manually turn on the extension by following these steps:
Go to Settings.
Tap Apple Intelligence & Siri.
Tap ChatGPT, then select Set Up.
Tap either Enable ChatGPT or Use ChatGPT with an Account. Select the latter if you have an OpenAI account.
An iPhone with Apple Intelligence is required to use ChatGPT. As of the writing of this article, Apple Intelligence is available on the following devices:
iPhone 16
iPhone 16 Plus
iPhone 16 Pro
iPhone 16 Pro Max
iPhone 15 Pro
iPhone 15 Pro Max
iPad mini with A17 Pro
iPad Air with M1 and later
iPad Pro with M1 and later
MacBook Air with M1 and later
MacBook Pro with M1 and later
iMac with M1 and later
Mac mini with M1 and later
Mac Studio with M1 Max and later
Mac Pro with M2 Ultra

Vibrant smartphone colors aren’t nearly as common as many wish, with most devices often coming in blacks and whites, and plenty of bland offerings beyond that. With its upcoming “blue” for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, though, Samsung might be going for a color that’s so subdued, it just has to be a joke.
