Updates & Upgrades
Google has released a patch for Chrome to address security vulnerabilities. Your school desktops are now protected, but it's recommended that you check if you have the latest version installed on your home computer. You should upgrade to at least version 111.0.5563.71 of Chrome to ensure that your browser is secure.
If you use Mozilla Firefox at home, it's important to update to version 111 as previous versions have multiple vulnerabilities, including one that could allow arbitrary code execution. Your school desktops have already been updated and are protected.

On March 17, 2010, the mobile game Angry Birds was released on the Apple App Store. Developed by Finnish game studio Rovio Entertainment, Angry Birds quickly became a sensation, with its addictive gameplay, colorful graphics, and quirky characters capturing the hearts of players around the world.
The game's popularity led to numerous sequels, spin-offs, merchandise, and even an animated movie. It also helped to establish the mobile gaming industry as a viable and profitable market, paving the way for other successful mobile games like Candy Crush and Pokémon Go.
Angry Birds has since become one of the most successful mobile games of all time, with over 4 billion downloads worldwide. Its impact on the gaming industry and popular culture has been significant, with the game inspiring countless imitators and becoming a cultural phenomenon in its own right.
