Apple has pushed a new build of OS X Mavericks version 10.9.3, dubbed 13D28, to developers today, according to MacRumors. As has been the case in the past, the developer-only update is available through the Mac App store and Mac Dev Center at this writing.

Mavericks 10.9.3 13D28 is the third version of the OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 beta that has been released to developers. The second build, 13d21, was released only a week ago. It has been almost a month since Apple made the original 10.9.3 beta available to developers.

With the 13D28 build, Apple is pushing developers to work on graphics drivers and audio. To this point, the OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 beta includes support for 4K displays, offers Retina display resolution settings, and adds 60 Hz support to the Macbook Pro with Retina.

In other Mac OS X Mavericks news, Internet advertising network Chitika recently reported that OS X Mavericks has been adopted by 40 percent of U.S. and Canadian-based OS X users since it was released back in October. However, those numbers have varied slightly from one stat tracker to another, with Net Applications indicating that adoption was at 45 percent in February.

It’s currently unclear when the final version of OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 will be released to the public.

It’s time to stop believing these PC building myths

Hyte's Thicc Q60 all-in-one liquid cooler.

As far as hobbies go, PC hardware is neither the cheapest nor the easiest one to get into. That's precisely why you may often run into various misconceptions and myths.

These myths have been circulating for so long now that many accept them as a universal truth, even though they're anything but. Below, I'll walk you through some PC beliefs that have been debunked over and over, and, yet, are still prevalent.
Liquid cooling is high-maintenance (and scary)

AMD’s next-gen CPUs are much closer than we thought

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D held between fingertips.

We already knew that AMD would launch its Zen 5 CPUs this year, but recent motherboard updates hint that a release is imminent. Both MSI and Asus have released updates for their 600-series motherboards that explicitly add support for "next-generation AMD Ryzen processors," setting the stage for AMD's next-gen CPUs.

This saga started a few days ago when hardware leaker 9550pro spotted an MSI BIOS update, which they shared on X (formerly Twitter). Since then, Asus has followed suit with BIOS updates of its own featuring a new AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture (AGESA) -- the firmware responsible for starting the CPU -- that brings support for next-gen CPUs (spotted by VideoCardz).

AMD Zen 5: Everything we know about AMD’s next-gen CPUs

The AMD Ryzen 5 8600G APU installed in a motherboard.

AMD Zen 5 is the next-generation Ryzen CPU architecture for Team Red and is slated for a launch sometime in 2024. We've been hearing tantalizing rumors for a while now and promises of big leaps in performance. In short, Zen 5 could be very exciting indeed.

We don't have all the details, but what we're hearing is very promising. Here's what we know about Zen 5 so far.
Zen 5 release date and availability
AMD confirmed in January 2024 that it was on track to launch Zen 5 sometime in the "second half of the year." Considering the launch of Zen 4 was in September 2022, we would expect to see Zen 5 desktop processors debut around the same timeframe, possibly with an announcement in the summer at Computex.
