Apple does an admirable job of stamping out significant software bugs before they impact users, but issues do still occasionally slip through the cracks. On Wednesday, a security researcher on Mastodon revealed the existence of a bug in iOS that causes iPhones and iPads to crash when typing in a specific set of characters. As the researcher notes, if you swipe past your Home Screen pages to the App Library, you will find a search bar at the top of the screen. Typing the characters "":: into that search bar will then cause the built-in Home Screen manager, SpringBoard, to crash. In the comments of the researcher's post, others noted that the fourth character doesn't have to be a second colon. As long as you type "": in first, SpringBoard will immediately crash when you type in a fourth character. TechCrunch also reports that the same bug is present in the Settings app if you scroll up and type the characters in the search bar there. When I tested the bug in my App Library, my iPhone screen turned black and showed a loading circle in the middle of the screen. It lasted for a few seconds before I was sent back to my Lock Screen. The same test in Settings simply closed the Settings app. The good news is that it doesn't appear to have any impact on security. “It’s not a security bug,” Ryan Stortz, an iOS security researcher, told TechCrunch. Unlike other similar bugs that have plagued Apple's mobile operating system in the past, there doesn't appear to be a way to remotely trigger this bug on someone else's device. For now, this seems to be little more than a weird quirk in iOS.

Recent archaeological excavations at Kef Castle, an ancient Urartian fortress perched at 2,300 meters (7,546 feet) above sea level in the Adilcevaz district of Bitlis, Turkey, have yielded a remarkable array of findings. Led by Associate Professor Dr. İsmail Coşkun of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, the team unearthed artifacts that offer new insights into the Urartian civilization, which thrived over 2,700 years ago. A Fortress in the Skies Kef Castle, built by King Rusa II of Urartu, is situated on the slopes of Mount Süphan, offering commanding views of the Adilcevaz region, the Malazgirt Plain, and Lake Van. The castle is a testament to the strategic and architectural ingenuity of the Urartians, who controlled a vast kingdom in what is now eastern Turkey during the first millennium BC. The fortress is noted for its extensive use of basalt, a volcanic rock abundant in the region, making it unique among Urartian castles. “This is the only castle from the Urartian period where so much basalt was used,” Dr. Coşkun explained as reported in the Anadolu Agency report. The fortress's location and the materials used in its construction suggest that it was built not only for defense but also as a symbol of the Urartian king's power and the empire's resilience in this rugged landscape.
