Happy Friday, everyone!

It’s almost the end of the working week, but the rumors and news from the tech world are still going strong.

The World’s chip supply seems to be safe, at least for now. TSMC confirmed no major damage to its equipment in its highly advanced chipmaking factories in Taiwan. Brands like NVIDIA further added that they expect no delays in the production schedules of their chips. Users complaining about touch issues after update

Also, if you were excited for the Galaxy S23 Ultra OneUI 6.1 update, a word of caution. Many users are experiencing touch screen issues after the update, with some units missing touches, while others not responding at all.

Samsung’s investigation revealed that it was actually a bug on Google’s end, more specifically, in its Google Discover feed, that was causing the issue.

A temporary workaround is to clear the Google app data in their settings, but Samsung confirms a permanent fix is on the way.

That’s not all for today; here are some of the most interesting news stories from the past 24 hours!
