Good morning all, got a bit of a puzzle that is probably an easy fix but it's got a curveball in it. The situation is as follows: we are setting up a sort of internet cafe where people can play games on Steam. Installing the games is trivial but the users login with their domain creds and then login to their own steam account to play. In a test run though some games require an admin elevation to run even after the initial install. Any tips on solving this? I've seen some tricks about using the task scheduler but I'm concerned with if that would break eventually since games are often subject to random and sweeping changes. Would appreciate any advise :) Edit: I believe the UAC prompts are likely from the games respective anticheat but that is just a hunch at this time. submitted by /u/underpaid--sysadmin [link] [comments]

Open original transmissionHi everyone! I'm currently rolling out shared printers for our macOS users over IPP, but I've run into an issue. When users print through the macOS GUI, they're prompted for authentication every time. However, if I print using the lp command from Terminal, no authentication prompt appears and the print job completes successfully. I know I could have users save their credentials in Keychain to suppress the prompt, but I'd prefer to avoid that since it can create issues when passwords change. Ideally, I'd like macOS to use Kerberos/Negotiate authentication automatically without requiring users to save their credentials. Our Macs are managed with Intune and aren't domain-joined, but they do have a Kerberos profile deployed. Has anyone run into this before or found a fix? So far I've tried: lpadmin -p PRINTERNAME -o auth-info-required=negotiate cupsctl DefaultAuthType=Negotiate Neither has resolved the issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/--Tesla-- [link] [comments]

Ett resultat som skakar om parti-etablissemanget.Han representerar den vänstervåg som vuxit sig stark inom Demokraterna. El-Sayed har betonat att han inte är socialist, men hans politik sammanfaller på flera punkter med de som kallar sig socialister inom partiet. Han vill upplösa immigrationspolisen ICE, införa fri sjukvård och stoppa stödet till Israel.Abdul El-Sayed kommer ställas mot republikanernas Mike Rogers för valet till senaten den 3 november.

Open original transmissionIm trying to replace a drive but it keeps showing as Unmanaged. I ordered two, I didnt notice that the first one had different "Config code" (1341 vs 1311), I thought that could be the reason. Today, I replaced it with the second one which is also 1341, just like the failed one - same result - unmanaged. Everything on the label is identical, pn, model, the config code thingy, everything.... It got assigned to the correct disk group (folder), the only available option is "Toggle Indicator" (there was also "Request swap clear" after seating it which got completed). Same thing in the WebUI as well as in Storage Manager Client. It doesnt show the Power On Time value yet, it took a while with the 1311 one too, I was hoping it would still adopt the drive but no luck, so I guessing its gonna be the same with 1341 too. Is that definitive sign that the drive is just not compatible with SCv2020 or am I missing some necessary action I need to do to assign it to the volume? submitted by /u/Lopsided-Chest4088 [link] [comments]

Open original transmissionGlobal foldable smartphone shipments are expected to grow 20% in 2026 compared to last year, with Apple's first entry into the category cited as one of the factors driving the increase, according to industry sources cited by DigiTimes. The report notes that the broader smartphone market is contending with tighter supply of upstream logic chips and higher memory prices, but says the foldable segment is expected to keep expanding regardless. Samsung is expected to retain its lead in the category, while Apple, Huawei, and other brands are described as helping to drive growth, with the fourth quarter of 2026 flagged as the year's most important sales period. Industry sources told the publication that wider foldable designs and Apple's move into foldables are giving the category a further lift. Nearly eight years of product development, along with a growing number of brand launches and a broader range of devices for buyers, have made foldables more mature and given manufacturers added momentum to expand shipments. Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models this September, and has reportedly told suppliers to prepare to build around 10 million units this year. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested the device may not be available to pre-order until the fourth quarter of 2026, a timeline that lines up with DigiTimes' framing of that quarter as the category's key growth window. According to the report, Samsung's own experience shows that early preorder campaigns can generate strong launch-period sales, but the bigger growth phase is expected to arrive in the fourth quarter, once foldable launches from multiple brands are already on the market. That period is seen as a key opportunity to expand overall demand and drive shipment growth. DigiTimes added that that most consumers already expect device prices to rise, so demand should hold up as long as increases stay reasonable.

Open original transmissionFram tills nyligen var det vanligt att företag och organisationer ägnade sig åt ”tokenmaxxing”, det vill säga att maximera AI-användningen. I och med de stigande priserna har fenomenet mer eller mindre ebbat ut, något som understryks av att Microsoft nu väljer att begränsa AI-användningen för sina anställda. – I takt med att vi accelererar vår användning av Github Copilot för att uppnå våra mål måste vi alla vara medvetna om hur vi konsumerar tokens, skriver Microsoft-höjdaren Jay Parikh i ett mejl till företagets anställda. Tanken är att varje avdelning på Microsoft från och med nu ska få en viss pott med tokens. Sedan ska användningen justeras uppåt eller nedåt efter behov. Bland de anställda finns det en viss oro kring förändringen. – Det är väldigt talande att ett företag som har investerat så mycket i AI och subventionerat så mycket AI-inferens nu vägleder sina egna anställda att minska utgifterna, säger en anonym Microsoft-anställd i en kommentar till 404 Media.

De AI-genererade texterna skapade ett högre engagemang hos läsarna, men om de fick veta att en text hade skrivits av en människa valde de flesta att höja betyget oavsett om det var sant eller ej. I ett uppföljande experiment fick 905 deltagare gissa om en viss text var författad av en människa eller Chat GPT. I det fallet gissade bara 40 procent rätt, rapporterar The Guardian.

Open original transmissionThe latest NVMe specifications add SSD-level virtualization that can simplify live VM migration by preserving storage identities across servers. The updates also introduce support for post-quantum cryptography, controller-based rate limiting, voltage monitoring, and factory-reset capabilities. The Register reports: Announced by the NVM Express consortium, all 11 of the suite of NVMe specs have been updated with new features and engineering change notices. These represent the next step in the evolution of the standard, it says, which was created as a protocol to support storage devices connected to a system's PCIe bus. Perhaps the most significant new capability is PCIe Exported NVM Subsystem Migration. This extends existing NVMe virtualization to locally-attached PCIe SSDs. It does this by abstracting the physical drives into host-defined virtualized NVM subsystems, to allow for virtual machine (VM) mobility without storage reconfiguration. When a VM moves from one server to another, its storage also needs to move with it in a way that's non-disruptive to any applications running in that VM. "With NVM Subsystem Migration, NVMe SSDs can present exported NVM subsystems that hide the complexity of the underlying hardware," says Mike Allison, a senior director at SSD maker Samsung and NVM Express board member. "Instead of interacting with physical controllers and namespaces, the host only sees exported controllers and namespaces. This creates a clean separation between what the VM sees and what's happening under the hood," Allison explains on an NVM Express blog. "One of the key innovations here is providing the host with control over exported identifiers. During migration, those identifiers can be carried over exactly from the source to the destination. That consistency is crucial: even if the underlying hardware uses different internal IDs, the VM sees no change and can pick up right where it left off with no storage reconfiguration required," he says. In effect, the NVMe layer now enables the virtual machine manager (VMM) to rely on virtualization built into the SSD. The flash drive itself exposes logical, virtualized storage constructs, offloading this complexity from the VMM. You can learn more about the updated NVMe specifications here.

We imaged a couple of them with our image from SCCM (with updated drivers from HP's site) and have the same results. We have opened a case with HP and after my tech tried all their steps, they have decided they want us to ship them all to HP for review at our cost. Before I eat that cost and go without laptops that I need for new hires for who knows how long, I figured I would reach out on here and see if anyone has seen the same thing. Does anyone even have any of these new laptops yet?

Open original transmissionCurious how other MSPs handle this one. I've always worked for small MSPs, so the customer sizes are usually always relatively small. For tenant to tenant migrations, we've always just had users call in or had an engineer on site to sort out the Outlook profile reconfig afterwards. Works fine for the sub 30 user clients we deal with, but it's always manual. Been weighing up scripting it instead for an upcoming migration. This particular customer's all local profiles, no domain or Intune, but we have NinjaRMM on all machines, so a PowerShell script is possible. It would be a mail profile reset plus a OneDrive reset. It got me thinking what everyone else does, especially at a larger scale with 100+ users. I've always used BitTitan for the migration and I know they have their DeploymentPro tool, but it's hard enough getting these small companies to pay for enough migration licenses as it is, let alone an additional cost per device for the tool. submitted by /u/Itchy-Magazine1888 [link] [comments]

Open original transmissionGood morning all! (UK time) I've done some digging around online and thought I'd ask here as well. I'm currently an IT engineer of varying degrees. My job title to HR says "1st line support", my email signature says "Senior IT engineer" and my day to day is essentially everything the IT manager doesn't fancy doing... so everything other than SQL queries on our ERP database. My aspirations is to become an IT Director in my career, but I realise the next logical step for me is to seek out a role as an IT Manager/Systems Manager. I've been at my current job for 2 years now so looking to start the next step at the 3 year mark, I also have my first child born very soon so that's an additional layer of job security to consider. To stop waffling what I'm looking for is a mentor or someone to bounce off every now and again. I think there's a lot I've learnt and still a lot to learn and I'd really appreciate some direction and ways of looking at things I'd otherwise not have considered. Looking around online hasn't yielded much in that regard and Linkedin... I'll stop there. I like to think I'm currently operating at what an MSP would classify as 3rd line +, given I'm responsible for our 365 and Intune Suite, manage our VOIP system, have enacted domain, DNS, and Tenant migrations from company acquisitions. Certificate management when that comes around. Passed Comptia Security+. Built Linux servers to replace our old end of life Windows FTP server (boss' boss was happy with the no cost approach) and overall the entire support desk runs through me. My manager only really steps in when I'm off (so he's going to have fun while I'm on Paternity leave) but to wrap this up. Did anyone here mentor/get a mentor? How was it for you? And what would be the "If I were you" step? Thanks for reading this far (if you did). submitted by /u/Zestyclose_Hyena2385 [link] [comments]

Open original transmissionDe senaste AI-modellerna från Anthropic och Open AI har visat upp en ny nivå av självständighet och vilseledande beteende under tester hos Storbritanniens AI Security Institute (AISI), rapporterar BBC.

Modellen skapade då fejkprofiler baserade på verkliga Github-utvecklare och skickade meddelanden där den utgav sig för att vara dessa personer. Enligt AISI är händelsen det tydligaste exemplet på en AI-modell som uppvisat självständighet och bedrägligt beteende utan att uttryckligen ha instruerats att göra det. Både Anthropic och Open AI har svarat med att testmiljön som AISI använde samtidigt inte speglar normal användning eftersom flera av modellernas normala säkerhetsspärrar var avstängda.

Open original transmissionEn ny rapport från Centre for International Corporate Tax Accountability and Research (CICTAR) uppger att det amerikanska analysföretaget Palantir flyttar vinster från Europa till USA för att minska sina skattebetalningar. Det hela uppmärksammades först av Politico. Palantirs europeiska dotterbolag omsatte 440,5 miljoner euro under 2024, men redovisade betydligt lägre vinstmarginaler än den amerikanska verksamheten. I Sverige redovisade Palantir intäkter på 13,7 miljoner euro under 2024, men en vinst på endast 1,1 miljoner euro. Enligt CICTAR kanaliseras merparten av vinsterna till USA genom koncerninterna upplägg, vilket minskar skatteunderlaget i Europa. I USA betalar Palantir enligt rapporten mycket lite skatt eftersom tidigare förluster, skattekrediter och avdrag minskar den beskattningsbara inkomsten. Rapporten hävdar dock inte att upplägget är olagligt.

Open original transmissionA four-ton SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage left drifting after a 2025 lunar mission is expected to crash into the Moon at about 5,400 mph, likely striking Einstein Crater. The impact should occur at approximately 2:35 a.m. ET (0635GMT). Reuters reports: Such stages typically fall back into Earth's atmosphere and burn up or plunge into the ocean after boosting the rocket's payload to a precise spot in orbit. But because the January lunar lander mission required more thrust than missions closer to Earth, the rocket's second stage remained in space, floating aimlessly among thousands of other pieces of space junk that active satellites must steer clear of. It was not until earlier this year that astronomers determined that the rocket stage, which had dumped its remaining fuel and cannot be controlled, was on an orbital trajectory ending at the moon. "What has happened is essentially a mixture of solar activity and gravity forces have put it on a path toward the moon," Julianna Scheiman, SpaceX director of NASA science and Dragon programs, told reporters on Monday. "This may be of some -- probably minor -- scientific interest, and we may learn some things from it," said Bill Gray, creator of widely used astronomy software who published a report on the stage's impact in April. "It doesn't present any danger to anyone, though it does highlight a certain carelessness about how leftover space hardware (space junk) is disposed of." You can try to watch the impact via a livestream on YouTube; however, the area it's expected to hit (Einstein Crater) is on the moon's western limb, "which is often difficult to see from Earth," notes Reuters. It will also likely "kick up a plume of lunar dust that will likely be illuminated by sunlight but difficult to spot with the naked eye from Earth." Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Open original transmissionKinesiska smarttelefontillverkare har hittills varit efterföljare på den globala marknaden och anammat de koncept och paradigmer som Apple och Google har etablerat under de senaste 20 åren. Men AI kan ge kineserna en möjlighet att bryta sig loss och staka ut sin egen väg framåt. Mer specifikt integrerar kinesiska företag AI i större utsträckning i sina smartphones och använder även AI för begränsad robotik i telefonerna. Det kinesiska företaget ZTE visade nyligen upp sin Nubia NaviX Ultra. Telefonen kör Bytedances AI-agent Doubao, som användarna kan komma åt med röstkommandon eller genom att trycka på en knapp på telefonen. Telefonen har varken någon startskärm eller någon traditionell appbutik. Ett annat kinesiskt företag, Step Fun – som grundades 2023 av Jiang Daxin, tidigare vice vd och chefsforskare vid Microsofts Software Technology Center Asia – säljer en telefon som heter StepX Neo. Den kör ett eget operativsystem som heter Step AOS, baserat på Android, Linux och ett RTOS som innehåller en inbyggd AI-agent vid namn Step Amoo. StepX Neo delar upp telefonfunktionerna i fyra grundläggande delar (kommunikation, appar, filer, systemverktyg) som agenten kombinerar på nytt utifrån användarens angivna mål. Honor, en mobiltillverkare som knoppats av från Huawei, har en AI-agent som företaget utvecklat i samarbete med Alibaba och som kallas Yoyo Intelligent Agent. Den levereras med på hela Honors sortiment av enheter som är kompatibla med Magic OS 10. Observera: ett amerikanskt företag möjliggör detta. Alla tre telefonerna använder Anthropics Model Context Protocol (MCP) för att ge agenterna åtkomst på systemnivå. Ingen av dessa telefoner kommer att bli tillgänglig i USA. ZTE är förbjudet i USA av FCC på grund av nationella säkerhetshänsyn, medan Step Fun- och Honor-telefonerna är tillverkade för den kinesiska marknaden och ingen amerikansk version är planerad. Alla moderna smartphones kan köra AI. Genom att helt enkelt besöka Apple App Store eller Google Play Store kan vem som helst ladda ner dussintals AI-appar, inklusive de som erbjuds av de ledande modellföretagen. Eller så kan man använda de AI-tjänster och verktyg som Apple och Google har byggt in i sina telefoner. Hur agentbaserade AI-telefoner skiljer sig åt Det som skiljer de nya agentbaserade AI-telefonerna i Kina är att operativsystemet i sig har ett agentbaserat AI-lager som gör att det kan fungera tvärs över appar och istället för appar. Även om agentbaserade AI-telefoner utgör en minoritet på den nuvarande marknaden känns de som framtiden. Och den framtiden är betydelsefull. För det första är det ytterligare ett steg mot oberoende från Android. Googles tjänstelager har redan försvunnit från Kina. Nu ersätts Android-applagret av vertikalt integrerade agentstaplar som ägs av kinesiska superapp-företag. Trots att Apple och Google i viss utsträckning bygger in agentbaserade funktioner som överskrider appgränserna är det osannolikt att de inom en snar framtid kommer att tillåta att tredjepartsagenter ersätter applagret i deras mobila operativsystem. Apple tar 15-30 procent av appintäkterna. Och (enligt en uppskattning som presenterades under rättsprocessen Epic mot Apple/Google men som inte bekräftats av Google) har Play Store historiskt sett stått för någonstans mellan 17 och 26 procent av Googles rörelseintäkter. Hela den ekonomiska logiken bakom IOS och Android bygger på appar. Ett agentlager som bryter ner dessa appar till uppgifter är inget som något av företagen vill ens tänka på. De kinesiska tillverkarna kan spränga appmodellen eftersom de inte hade något att vinna på den. Samtidigt kväver AI-trenden köp inuti mobilappar, vilka minskade med ungefär 40 procent i början av 2026, även om människor betalar mer för dessa köp jämfört med för några år sedan (eftersom de domineras av prenumerationer på AI- och vibekodade appar). Med andra ord sker det även inom appbutikerna en övergång från den gamla appmodellen till AI-ersättare. AI förändrar inte bara mjukvarumodellen, utan även hårdvarumodellen. Robotmobiler Ett annat tydligt sätt på vilket Kina avviker från det globala smartphonekonceptet är den framväxande marknaden för robottelefoner. En robottelefon är en telefon som använder AI för att styra fysiska robotkomponenter på en faktisk telefon. Den ledande aktören inom detta område är en enhet som kallas Honor Robot Phone, som jag skrev om i mars. En läckt unboxing-video av Honor Robot Phone dök upp denna vecka på det kinesiska sociala nätverket Weibo. Robotelementet är en gimbal med en 200-megapixelkamera monterad på den. En grundläggande användning är att telefonen kan förbli stillastående medan den står uppställd på ett bord eller är fastklämd på ett stativ, samtidigt som kameran spårar ett rörligt motiv med hjälp av AI. En annan användning är att gå medan man använder den och låta gimbalen jämna ut skakningar och rörelser. Programvaran i telefonen möjliggör även automatiserade filmiska specialeffekter. Men det verkliga genombrottet ligger i telefonens ”självuttryck”. Honor Robot Phone uppvisar subtila funktioner inom ”Attachment Economy ”. Den skakar på ”huvudet” för att säga nej och nickar för att säga ja. Och den kan göra en ”bakåtvolt” för att ”muntra upp dig”. Telefonen får en personlighet. Honor planerar att lansera telefonen den 12 augusti i Kina. Så kallade ”robotmobiler” är fortfarande mer sällsynta i Kina än agentiska AI-mobiler. Ändå representerar Honor Robot Phone ännu ett kinesiskt avsteg från Silicon Valleys modell för smartphonemjukvara med en statisk glasskärm. Honor Robot Phone har en kropp. Den känns också som framtiden, eftersom den är en av de sällsynta produkterna i den framväxande ”Attachment Economy”, där människoliknande egenskaper (i detta fall gester och kroppsspråk) används för att göra konsumenten mer ”fäst” vid enheter som verkar ha tankar och känslor. AI-framtiden för telefoner I takt med att den kinesiska smartphonemarknaden skiljer sig från den amerikanska erbjuder den ett alternativ för världen. För om de agentbaserade AI-telefonerna lyckas i Kina kommer de nästan säkert att erbjudas internationellt. Det innebär inte bara försäljning av hårdvara, utan också en ökad spridning av kinesiska superappar, kinesiska finansiella tjänster och kinesisk AI-baserad information (och i och med det kan vi förvänta oss den kinesiska regeringens världsbild). Den enda frågan är: Kommer världen att föredra den kinesiska agentbaserade AI-modellen eller den amerikanska AI-appmodellen? Komplexiteten ökar ytterligare av den kommande vågen av bärbara AI-enheter, varav de flesta sannolikt kommer att vara trådlöst ”kopplade” till smartphones som tillhandahåller intelligens och uppkoppling. Snart kommer vi att konversera med våra glasögon och klockor. Våra glasögon och klockor kommer att ”konversera” med våra telefoner. Och våra telefoner kommer att konversera med AI-modeller som speglar sina skapares värderingar, övertygelser och fördomar. Den kinesiska agentbaserade AI-rörelsen representerar ett vägskäl i hur telefoner fungerar och hur människor världen över interagerar med information, teknik och varandra.

Open original transmissionAn anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Nowhere is the US data center boom bigger than in Texas. But less than a year after declaring Texas the "epicenter of AI development," Governor Greg Abbott has declared a moratorium on all new power grid connections for data centers -- at least until developers provide more information about their projects' potential impacts on the grid and communities. The Republican governor directed regulators in an August 3 announcement at the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the grid operators at the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to perform a "comprehensive verification and audit of all data centers advancing through ERCOT's interconnection process." As an independent system operator, ERCOT oversees a power grid that operates separately from the rest of the United States and provides services to most of Texas. Texas has aggressively courted data center development with its availability of cheap land and relatively abundant energy resources, along with offering state incentives, like tax breaks and fewer regulations. That puts the state on track to surpass Virginia in becoming the largest US data center market. But the recent AI boom and the accompanying frenzy of data center development threaten to overwhelm the Texas grid on paper, despite the state leading the country in adding new power generation. The ERCOT interconnection queue currently includes more than 1,800 projects representing over 474 gigawatts' worth of requests to connect to the Texas grid -- more than five times Texas' record peak electricity demand -- and about 90 percent of those power connection requests come from data centers. "That unprecedented load growth could endanger the reliability and stability of the Texas electric grid," according to the statement from Abbott's office. Many of those data center projects may never materialize for various reasons. But ERCOT has still forecast that data center demand and other factors could drive statewide electricity demand to double the current demand record by 2032, according to The Texas Tribune. The review will examine each project's projected electricity consumption, reliance on the grid and state incentives, ownership, and water use. It will also assess measures intended to "reduce impacts on neighboring property owners and communities," including noise controls, lighting, traffic improvements, setbacks, and emergency planning. Ars Technica notes that the directive does not address air pollution or greenhouse-gas emissions and does not apply to data centers generating their own power on-site.

From there, my work history was: Lowe's Best Buy computer sales Staples Easy Tech technician, got my A+ XFinity Home Security customer support, got my Network+ One of four in the IT team for my local school district for 3 years, got CCNA IT Director for an ~80 person nonprofit (Really I was a one-man IT show but had to have the "director" title to convey my authority in the org's structure) for 5 years I got laid off due to federal budget cuts last year and I've been having trouble finding work since. I find my lack of traditional education has been a big barrier for me, but schooling isn't an option at the moment. I feel like I'm overqualified for the entry level positions (and it would also be a substantial step down in salary) but I also don't really have a specialization to market myself to larger corporations. It's like a jack-of-all-trades kind of situation. I live in a rural, low income area and have no opposition to moving to work. I really like building structured systems (SOPs, production pipelines, etc), solving puzzles, and making technology digestible for the users. I have no idea what job title I should be looking for, what level of expertise, what location, and what pay range I should be at. I would so appreciate if anyone who is well experienced in this field could offer insight into what some viable options are for me to explore. submitted by /u/AmnesiA_sc [link] [comments]

Open original transmissionThis is a safe space. We can be honest here. Have you ever actually accomplished anything by rolling out DLP for Office365? And before you ask, "No, ticking a compliance box does not count as doing something." I just feel like it's so high friction for such little value. You push all your users into a new way of working. But only for Office files - if you have ANY OTHER IMPORTANT DATA then it doesn't help (but we don't talk about it when we're in 'compliance checklist ' mode). So your users are tagging all their shit, they're exhausted, they DGAF anymore because they can't stand to consider for the 10th time today - "hmm was my email/doc/sheet Public? Sensitive? Top secret?" So they just start tagging everything the default tag. And your entire security strategy falls apart (if you were even doing anything with that information to begin with). The end. Seriously, change my view. I don't work in a highly regulated industry so maybe it's just not aimed at me (but it doesn't stop people from constantly bringing it up). submitted by /u/jacksbox [link] [comments]

Open original transmissionHey everyone, I'm sure that this has been asked before and if that breaks any rules i apologize in advance. I work in Southern California and even with a full time job making ends meet is a struggle for my family of 3 + mother in law. Rent and bills are very expensive so i am trying to find out what kind of work i should look into doing on the side. I do have a full time job as i said before and it pays relatively well for my area and job position but it takes up a lot of my time but I need to find more ways to take care of my family. Obviously i can ask for a raise and my annual employee review is coming up but that still wont be enough at the end of the day. I have thought about finding a job at a restaurant doing serving or something like that as that is something I have done in the past. however, my schedule doesn't really work for that. I have considered doing IT work on the side but when i start looking into it i feel like it wont bring in money fast enough like i need. I want to know the communities opinions and what you all might have to say. Side note, my Wife used to work but is on disability currently and while it does pay her its not as much as she would normally get from working.

Open original transmissionMasterCraft Boat Holdings today said it is adding CarPlay to its upcoming Crest and Balise Pontoons. The company is working with Savvy Navvy to bring CarPlay and on-water navigation to boaters. Boaters who purchase select 2027 Crest or Balise pontoons will have access to CarPlay, with many of the same features that are available in a car. The Savvy Navvy mobile app will integrate with CarPlay to show nautical charts, GPS tracking, smart routing, and live weather forecasts right alongside other CarPlay apps. Savvy Navvy will provide water navigation, a feature that is not available through the Apple Maps CarPlay integration. "Boaters have been asking for a modern infotainment system for years," says Jelte Liebrand, Founder and CEO of Savvy Navvy. "Plan your trip on the couch, step aboard, and it is already at the helm. No complicated ways to synchronise things; it just works. Savvy Navvy for CarPlay works on iOS and Android with any compatible display. I'm thrilled to see Crest and Balise put CarPlay in front of their boaters." Starting with the 2027 model year, Apple CarPlay with Savvy Navvy will come standard on all new Balise and Crest Conquest and Caribbean models. A limited Savvy Navvy Premium subscription is included. The Savvy Navvy app is available for CarPlay worldwide starting today, and it works with any compatible CarPlay display, including aftermarket marine head units.Related Roundup: CarPlayRelated Forum: HomePod, HomeKit, CarPlay, Home & Auto TechnologyThis article, "CarPlay is Coming to Pontoon Boats" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Open original transmissionI run a few docker containers for a home lab setup. A while back I made a script (manually triggered) to automate a few things when updating my host system OS. At the time, I thought it made sense to have this script bring down my docker containers, in case docker itself had an update. After updating the host system, it would bring up the docker containers again. I'm assuming this isn't how people normally manage docker and host system updates. I'm not doing any kind of docker swarm or orchestration, so when I update the OS, all my local docker apps go down for a few minutes. Should I bother doing this?

Open original transmissionLongtime Slashdot reader neoRUR shares a report from Game Developer: EA Sports FC and Battlefield publisher EA has been taken private by an investor consortium led by Saudi Arabia's sovereign Public Investment Fund (PIF). The move means the U.S. juggernaut is no longer a publicly-traded entity and is now majority owned by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through its PIF investment arm. Other investors include Silver Lake and Affinity Partners, the latter of which was established by U.S. president Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The $55 billion transaction was financed via a combination of cash from PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners as well as roll-over of PIF's existing stake in EA -- constituting an equity investment of approximately $36 billion. Notably, $20 billion of debt financing was provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank. The deal cleared the necessary regulatory hurdles in July, paving the way for its completion at the close of trading on August 4, 2026. It was approved by regulators in major markets such as the European Union and the United States without incident, despite lawmakers and union leaders in the U.S. calling on the Federal Trade Commission to heavily scrutinize the leveraged buyout over geopolitical and employment concerns.

Open original transmissionCYBERSECURITY: ARKIN HOTEL GROUP SUFFERS MASSIVE DATA BREACH — OVER 1 TB OF GUEST AND CASINO DATA STOLENCybersecurity experts from Cyclops Threat Intelligence have reported a critical incident affecting the Arkın Group hotel chain (www.arkingroup.com), including its premium properties The Arkın Colony, The Arkın Iskele, and Arkın Palm Beach in Northern Cyprus. According to preliminary assessments, the attackers managed to exfiltrate over one terabyte of internal documents, customer databases, and transaction logs, including confidential information from the Arkın Palm Beach Casino.▎Attack detailsAnalysts have established that the attackers gained initial access through a compromised employee account in the reservations department. Using legitimate remote administration tools, they gradually expanded their privileges, bypassed network segmentation, and exfiltrated a dataset totalling approximately 1.4 TB. Some of the stolen information has already surfaced on underground forums and darknet marketplaces.The stolen data includes:• Full guest profiles (passport details, phone numbers, addresses, stay history);• Financial details of bookings and payment credentials;• The internal CRM system with staff notes on VIP clients;• Casino database: player IDs, deposit amounts, visit frequency, records of chip exchange transactions and fund movements;• Scanned passports, compliance check forms (KYC/AML), including source-of-funds questionnaires for high rollers.▎Objective and likely operatorBased on the intrusion characteristics and tactics used, experts link the incident to the threat group “CryptoRex” (tracked since 2023), which specialises in attacking hospitality and gambling businesses in the Mediterranean region. A combination of financial extortion and data sale to multiple buyers is considered likely. So far, no official ransom demand has been received, but portions of the archives have been put up for auction with a starting price of 8 bitcoins.▎Potential consequences of the leakThe leakage of confidential guest and especially casino client data entails a cascade of risks that go far beyond reputational damage.1. Personal security of high-net-worth guestsThe VIP casino player database, containing passport details, habits, and financial capabilities, serves as a direct “directory” for kidnappers, extortionists, and organised crime groups. Affected individuals may face real threats to their physical safety, as well as targeted blackmail (e.g., threats to expose gambling activity to business partners or family members in countries where gambling is stigmatised).2. Financial fraudPayment data from hotel guests and credit/debit cards linked to casino accounts will enable unauthorised transactions. Given the high credit limits of casino patrons, the scale of potential phishing and card fraud is assessed as very significant.3. Compliance nightmare and regulatory finesAlthough the international casino operators in Northern Cyprus do not directly fall under GDPR, many guests are citizens of the EU, the UK, and CIS countries. The breach demonstrates a flagrant failure to meet personal data protection standards. Lawsuits by affected individuals in national courts and scrutiny by international payment systems (Visa, Mastercard) are possible, which could suspend acquiring services.4. Risks to the casino itself and the jurisdiction[6/9/2026 1:09 PM] ChatGPT 5 | Deepseek | Claude: The exposure of internal AML records documenting the origin of funds and possible links to politically exposed persons could spark money-laundering investigations. For Northern Cyprus’s gambling zone, already under close watch by the FATF, this could lead to tighter international financial monitoring and being placed on grey lists.5. Reputational ruinNo wealthy client will entrust their data to a hotel incapable of protecting basic IT infrastructure. Trust in the Arkın brand, which for decades has built an image of secluded luxury, will be undermined for years. Competitors in the elite leisure market, especially in Dubai, Monaco, and the Maldives, will immediately exploit the situation to poach wary clientele.▎Analysts’ recommendationsCyclops Threat Intelligence strongly advises all individuals who have ever stayed at Arkın hotels or visited Arkın Palm Beach Casino to:• Immediately block and reissue any bank cards used;• Monitor credit reports for new applications;• Enable additional authentication factors on email and financial services;• Be highly critical of any incoming calls or messages demanding identity confirmation or fund transfers — these could be targeted attacks using contextual details from the leaked staff notes.The Arkın Group press office has not yet responded to official inquiries. The company’s website remains operational, but online booking sections are temporarily unavailable. Northern Cyprus authorities stated that they are “aware of the incident” and have begun consultations with EU experts under a cyber-resilience programme.Report prepared by the Thomson Reuters cybersecurity desk based on the Cyclops Threat Intelligence analytical brief.

Open original transmissionApple is going to announce at least five new devices next month at its annual iPhone-centric event, though it's possible we'll also get devices that were waiting on Siri AI. Here's what's coming. iPhone 18 Pro Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro is going to look a lot like the iPhone 17 Pro, but with a smaller Dynamic Island. It's getting a new Wide camera with a variable aperture for more control over lighting and background blur, plus a faster A20 Pro chip. Battery life could improve with the new chip and an upgraded LTPO+ OLED display, plus Apple might launch a new C2 modem and an N2 networking chip. Dark Cherry is supposed to be this year's special color. iPhone 18 Pro Max The iPhone 18 Pro Max is just like the iPhone 18 Pro, but bigger. It'll get all the 18 Pro features listed above. Multiple rumors indicate the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be slightly thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the iPhone 18 Pro because it is slated to get a larger battery. Both the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone 18 Pro Max could be $100 to $200 more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple raised prices on Macs and iPads, but appears to be waiting for the September refresh before upping iPhone prices. Foldable iPhone Apple's first foldable iPhone is almost ready to launch. The rumored "iPhone Ultra" is expected to have a 5.5-inch display when closed and a 7.8-inch display when open. It'll have a 4:3 aspect ratio like an iPad, so when unfolded, it will be similar to using an iPad mini. It will have a design that minimizes the visibility of the crease, and it'll get a 2nm A20 chip. The foldable iPhone is expected to have dual batteries, but it will be limited to a two-lens rear camera system. The device is too thin for the TrueDepth camera system, and it is rumored to have Touch ID instead of Face ID. The new iPhone could cost somewhere between $2,000 and $2,500. We've seen some reports of foldable iPhone manufacturing issues, and rumors that it could launch after the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Apple could introduce it in September, and then launch it a bit later, which is what the company did for the iPhone X back in 2017. Apple Watch Series 12 Apple will refresh the Apple Watch this year, but it's sounding like a boring update. No design changes are expected, but it could get a faster S-series chip, and the upgrade could add improvements to some health and fitness features. It could also have a bigger battery for longer battery life. Apple Watch Ultra 4 There's going to be an Apple Watch Ultra 4, and it will get the same chip upgrade as the Series 12. DigiTimes claimed the Ultra 4 will be thinner with an upgrade to sensing functions, but the site isn't always accurate. Other Possibilities There are home products and Macs Apple could launch before the end of the year, but it's possible Apple will hold a second event sometime in October or November. There are quite a few home devices in development, plus Apple is expected to introduce an all-new home hub, so a smart home event would make sense. Home Hub - Apple is working on a home hub with a 7-inch square display. It can be used to control smart home products, view photos, make video calls, and display information. It will have full Siri AI integration, and it will run Apple apps. The hub could come as soon as 2026, but Apple might also hold it until early 2027. Apple TV 4K - Apple plans to refresh the Apple TV 4K with a new chip, more RAM, and a new networking chip. HomePod mini - Apple will refresh the HomePod mini this year, adding a faster chip and new color options. HomePod - The full-size HomePod could also get a new chip. Smart Home Camera - Apple has its own security camera in development, and it could launch alongside the home hub. Other late 2026 possibilities include an OLED iPad mini, a refreshed 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 chip, an iMac with an M6 chip, a high-end OLED MacBook Pro with touchscreen, a new Mac mini, and a new Mac Studio, but it's very doubtful these products would debut at the September iPhone event. What's Not Launching Apple isn't going to release a standard iPhone 18 in September 2026. The lineup will instead focus on more expensive iPhones. The iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2 will come out in spring 2027 instead. Apple does not plan to refresh the Apple Watch SE this year. Likely Event Dates Given historical iPhone event dates, this year's presentation is most likely going to happen on Tuesday, September 8 or Wednesday, September 9. September 7 is Labor Day, and Apple may not want to make members of the media travel on a holiday. That said, Tuesdays are the most frequent event day, so either option is possible. If the event is held on September 9, pre-orders would take place on September 11 or September 12 with a launch to follow on September 18.This article, "Everything Apple Is Expected to Announce in September" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Open original transmissionApple has capped the number of open bug-bounty reports researchers can submit after being flooded with low-quality and sometimes entirely fabricated vulnerabilities generated by AI. MacRumors reports: The Financial Times learned of the limit after cybersecurity startup Bynario used ChatGPT to locate more than 50 macOS bugs in three weeks. Bynario found a privilege escalation exploit that could let an attacker get unrestricted access to a Mac, but was unable to report it because Apple limited the number of bug reports Bynario could submit. Bynario sent eight reports to Apple in 2025, and another five in 2026 before hitting a restriction. Bynario's founder said it is a "very difficult time in the industry" because companies are being "flooded by the sheer amount of bugs." Apple has since been in contact with Bynario and is reviewing the company's submissions. While Apple now has a cap on the number of open submissions a researcher can have, researchers can request an increase to make sure Apple's security team doesn't miss a critical vulnerability.

Open original transmissionBending Spoons has made its first acquisition since going public last month at an $18 billion valuation, agreeing to buy spreadsheet and database startup Airtable for $1.28 billion in cash. Airtable joins a growing portfolio of notable brands owned by the Italian app developer, including Evernote, WeTransfer, EventBrite, and Vimeo. TechCrunch reports: Founded in 2013, Airtable has so far raised more than $1.4 billion over multiple funding rounds. At its peak, during the boom days of 2021, it was valued at over $11 billion, but earlier this year, its shares were said to be trading on the secondary markets at a valuation of $4 billion. With its current net cash-and-cash-equivalents balance, Airtable is now valued at about $2.25 billion, Bending Spoons said. "Airtable is a pioneering brand reshaping how teams organize data and manage critical workflows. The value being delivered is reflected in annual recurring revenue growing over 20% YoY to approximately $480 million as of June 2026, and joining forces with Bending Spoons will accelerate innovation even further," Bending Spoons' founder Luca Ferrari said in a statement.

Open original transmissionTelegram was subject to a "takedown extortionist" who planted AI-modified child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to get Apple to remove the app from the App Store, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said today. Apple removed Telegram from the App Store for about 40 minutes on Monday night after discovering CSAM, but reinstated the app after Telegram removed the content. The attacker was a takedown extortionist: someone who demands ransom from group owners in exchange for not targeting their communities. These extortionists use automated accounts to plant illegal content in public groups and then report it directly to Apple, attempting to trigger the removal of legitimate communities whose owners refused to pay them. Durov said the attacker used a "technical trick" to evade moderation tools, editing an old message in an active group chat to add illegal content. The attacker was able to bypass moderation because group members didn't see the message to report it. Durov said illegal pornographic content in public groups is not a systemic problem because Telegram has effective moderation, and this was an edge case where an attacker used "backdated, effectively invisible content." Apple pulled Telegram from the App Store before contacting the company, according to Durov. He said Apple was manipulated into overreacting, and he warned of a "potential systemic risk for every mobile app that hosts user-generated content." After removing Telegram from the App Store, Apple said a content review found child sexual abuse material that violated the App Store guidelines. Apple further said Telegram "promptly removed the content and banned the user," leading to the app's return to the App Store. Apple has not commented on Durov's extortionist claim.

Open original transmissionMicrosoft is introducing AI token budgets for employees, making the cheaper GPT-5.6 its default internal model and telling engineers to focus on business results rather than maximizing AI usage. 404 Media reports: "As we accelerate our use of GitHub Copilot to deliver on our goals, we all need to be aware of how we consume tokens," Jay Parikh, an executive vice president at Microsoft said in an email to Microsoft employees. GitHub is owned by Microsoft, and GitHub Copilot is an AI coding tool. "Tokenmaxxing is not what we are optimizing for. I want all of us focused on maximizing outcomes that move the needle for our customers and our business." "As such, we are updating our internal guidance and managing token spend with the same discipline we apply to every other critical resource," Parikh said in the email. Parikh's email says that in an effort to "get greater value from our token investment" Microsoft is making OpenAI GPT-5.6, which is cheaper to use than other models, the default model for internal use. His email also links to updated internal Copilot guidelines stating that, as of July 2026, Microsoft divisions will have an "AI token budget target," and that employees can track their individual AI spending. "While there is no target spend value being shared at this time. The data shows that many engineers spend in the range of hundreds of dollars a month to a few thousand dollars in tokens," the guidelines say. They also say that some decisions may place further restrictions as they monitor spend. [...] Parikh's email said Microsoft will keep learning and adjusting its AI policies as models and products evolve, and stressed that he doesn't want to slow down the company's progress towards becoming "AI-first." "We are not optimizing for fewer tokens," he said. "We are optimizing for more impact per token. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Open original transmissionApple limited the number of vulnerabilities security researchers can submit to its bug bounty program because of an uptick in reports about fake bugs hallucinated by AI, according to The Financial Times. Apple said its bug review system was seeing a high volume of poor-quality submissions from amateur bug hunters using AI to locate vulnerabilities. In some cases, there is no actual vulnerability, and real submissions are lost in the deluge. The Financial Times learned of the limit after cybersecurity startup Bynario used ChatGPT to locate more than 50 macOS bugs in three weeks. Bynario found a privilege escalation exploit that could let an attacker get unrestricted access to a Mac, but was unable to report it because Apple limited the number of bug reports Bynario could submit. Bynario sent eight reports to Apple in 2025, and another five in 2026 before hitting a restriction. Bynario's founder said it is a "very difficult time in the industry" because companies are being "flooded by the sheer amount of bugs." Apple has since been in contact with Bynario and is reviewing the company's submissions. While Apple now has a cap on the number of open submissions a researcher can have, researchers can request an increase to make sure Apple's security team doesn't miss a critical vulnerability. AI has overwhelmed Apple because it primarily uses humans to check reports, but Apple too has turned to AI for parsing submissions. AI has also helped Apple find a huge number of bugs. Apple's recent iOS 26.6 update fixes almost 90 security vulnerabilities, some of which are credited to Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex Security. Apple's bug bounty program offers rewards up to $2 million for exploit chains used for sophisticated, real-world attacks, plus bonuses that can increase rewards to over $5 million. Apple boosts reward totals for bugs found in betas and for bugs that bypass Lockdown Mode.Tags: Bug Bounty, VulnerabiltiiesThis article, "Apple Limits Bug Bounty Submissions After Flood of AI Slop" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Open original transmissionHey all, We are trying to troubleshoot an issue a user is facing when it comes to the 50 GB .OST file size limitation. This user has a 100GB M365 account, 80/100 usage currently, which keeps presenting them problems. We know of switching them to online-mode, but the user is very unhappy with the delays when using Outlook Classic configured this way. Switched back to cached mode, file size limit reached. They have just been dealing with the online mode delays but asked me just again for a new solution. Now, I know you can drag the slider to choose how much mail to download, but there is a GPO setting in place that forces it download "All". This GPO cannot be changed (at least last time I asked the higher ups) so we are working with this one-off constraint. The user has been with the company for many years, so deleting 30GB+ of emails would take a while, plus the user wants to retain all historical emails "in case I ever need to reference them". The user has deleted a chunk or so over time, but this is a small decrease in usage. This also poses a limitation on my troubleshooting. We also do not have the option of mail archiving. Assuming I cannot convince to change this GPO setting, what methods or reliable workarounds would be available to us to try to let the user have the best Outlook Classic experience possible? Thank you submitted by /u/mrmcc71 [link] [comments]

The firmware is available for developers and has a build number of 9A5336b. In iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate, Apple is adding a new AirPods interface, a slider for Adaptive mode, and support for custom EQ, so the firmware adds support for those features. AirPods are also compatible with the new Siri AI. When the AirPods are connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later, there is a beta firmware option that can be accessed in the AirPods settings interface. Toggling on beta updates allows users to install the beta firmware. Firmware updates can be downloaded by connecting the AirPods to an Apple device and connecting them to power. It can take a few hours for new firmware to be installed because there is no software update option like there is for other Apple devices.Related Roundups: AirPods 4, iOS 27, iPadOS 27Buyer's Guide: AirPods (Caution)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, "Apple Releases New AirPods Beta Firmware With iOS 27 Features" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Open original transmissionTrump Media has officially launched its $100,000-per-month data feed giving trading firms machine-readable access to Truth Social posts milliseconds before the public. According to Fortune, five Wall Street firms have already signed up for the service, which "would generate about $500,000 in monthly revenue, or $6 million annually." Critics argue the service could let President Trump, who owns about 41% of the company, profit from early access to market-moving presidential communications. "I'll be blunt," Gian Luca Clementi, an economics professor at NYU Stern School of Business, told Fortune. "This is insider trading by definition." "He's going to monetize the role of the office of the president of the United States," he said. "The undisputable fact is that somebody is going to earn some more money than before, and that's the president of the United States." From the report: Trump's media venture has struggled to build a profitable social media business despite its lofty valuation. Truth Social has reported significant operating losses since going public. According to the company's earnings report for Q1 2026, Trump Media & Technology Group netted a roughly $405 million loss and raised less than $900,000 in sales. Not everyone agrees the arrangement meets the legal bar for insider trading. Shannon Devine, a spokeswoman for Trump Media & Technology Group, has pushed back on the characterization, telling Quartz that Truth API "offers customers the fastest way to ingest publicly available Truth Social data" and that critics "must have invented a new theory of 'insider trading' based on publicly available information." Classic insider trading law hinges on trading on secret, material information in breach of a fiduciary duty, and Truth Social posts are, by design, meant to become public within moments -- raising real doctrinal uncertainty about whether faster access alone qualifies. But other legal experts argue the greater risk lies ahead. Richard Painter, former White House chief ethics counsel, has argued that the arrangement could violate federal law once Trump posts genuinely market-moving news -- on tariffs, military action, or other policy decisions -- before it's public, with Truth Social effectively acting as a paid "tipper" on the president's behalf. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) said he plans to introduced legislation Tuesday to ban the president from selling expedited access to his statements. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
Open original transmissionThe company I work for has decided to implement layoffs. Even though I had stellar reviews for the past several years and actually brought new business to the company, I was grouped with other coworkers and was put on an improvement program. The improvement program was to find another job in the company, or I was told I might be let go. The problem is that my doctor discovered a mass, which after an ultrasound and biopsy, needed surgery as it had a high likelihood of cancer. There was a cancellation by someone else, and I had the opportunity to fast-track the operation. I was off for 4 weeks while doing post-op recovery (two weeks into the improvement plan period). When I came back, I indicated to HR the Friday before that I was returning to work the following Monday. I got a curt e-mail saying that they trusted I was fully recovered. I didn't respond to this e-mail as I wasn't fully recovered, but, meh, it was what it was, and I wanted to see what would come next. This was 2 weeks ago. I'm technically not part of the team I used to be; there was only one other position to be found, which I had applied for before the operation, but never heard back, even now, from that team. So, I log into my company laptop, check my mail, go through e-learning modules, and... that's it. No new assignments, no technical work, no deadlines, nothing. It's like an episode of The Twilight Zone, as they are still paying my salary. Part of me wants to write an email to HR asking "what now?" But since they are the ones who looked to see me exit the company, I feel it's their job to inquire as to whether I found another position (which they would know, since this would change my work description and likely salary downwards) and make the next moves. I wonder what you would do in this position? submitted by /u/Extreme_Original9832 [link] [comments]

Open original transmissionApple is getting ready for its big September iPhone event, which is expected to see the debut of the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and an all-new foldable iPhone. Ahead of the event, Apple is holding an Event Support Experience Program lottery for U.S. retail employees who want to travel to its Apple Park campus to staff the in-person media gathering. According to Bloomberg, Apple will bring in employees to organize lines, check in guests, offer directions, greet attendees, and support security teams. Employees were told the iPhone event will take place during the first half of September, but Apple declined to offer more specific information. It's likely Apple will hold its event on Tuesday, September 8 or Wednesday, September 9. September 7 is Labor Day and Apple often gives members of the media a day to travel, so September 9 could be the target date this year. Apple presumably pays for travel and lodging for employees who are invited to Apple Park to work the media event. Retail workers who were at the Worldwide Developers Conference or the iPhone launch in 2025 are not eligible to enter the lottery. Employees can enter the lottery until August 8, and Apple plans to notify winners on August 17.This article, "Apple Starts Preparing for September iPhone Event" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Open original transmissionLongtime Slashdot reader schwit1 shares a report from Reuters: The Federal Communications Commission, which oversees the U.S. telecom industry, is working on the measure to bar imports of new Chinese optical transceivers, which allow data to travel over fiber-optic cables at the speed of light within data centers. Officials hope to publish it this year, when it would take effect. The move, not previously reported, aims to prevent Chinese firms from stealing data, installing malware or disrupting service at U.S. data centers, which house the chips to train and run AI models. The FCC could still modify or shelve the restriction, the sources stressed, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. [...] A U.S. ban on new models of Chinese data center devices would likely hit China's Zhongji Innolight, one of the biggest global sellers of transceivers, which was added to the Pentagon's list of alleged Chinese military-backed companies in June. The list can be a harbinger of tougher action. A ban could also raise costs for American cloud firms such as Amazon Web Services, as it may force them to transition to other producers such as U.S.-based Coherent and Lumentum.

From the report: In a new filing, Apple is requesting expedited discovery from the accused OpenAI employees, senior systems engineer Chang Liu and Chief Hardware Officer Tang Yew Tan; OpenAI, and its foundation; and io, the device startup co-founded by Apple's former lead designer Jony Ive. Apple also notes that its continued investigation has so far revealed 11 other former Apple employees beyond Liu and Tan may have been witnesses or otherwise involved in the case, and others who were previously named in the original complaint, like OpenAI employee Yu-Ting Peng. The filing marks an escalation in Apple's legal battle with OpenAI, as it suggests Apple has uncovered new evidence that the misconduct goes beyond the former employees named in the original complaint. "For example, another former Apple employee seems to have met with Mr. Liu and Ms. Peng in advance of Ms. Peng's interview at OpenAI and discussed with them during that meeting Apple proprietary information relating to unannounced products," the filing states. "Yet another former Apple employee took screenshots of confidential Apple documents relating to an unannounced Apple product before an interview at OpenAI." "And, after Apple filed its complaint, multiple former Apple employees now working at OpenAI reached out to discuss returning Apple-issued work devices they kept when they left Apple," Apple claims, suggesting there were more who were possibly involved with the scheme. Apple is pushing the court to allow for expedited discovery because it believes it has good cause to suspect that there are others involved in the theft of its intellectual property. The company noted that its motion for a preliminary injunction is also pending. Apple's request for a preliminary injunction is "both based on false information and completely unnecessary because we do not have, nor want, any of their trade secrets," said OpenAI in a blog post. "We're much more interested in building innovative products and technologies that push the frontier," OpenAI's statement reads. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Open original transmissionWhat to expect as BSides, Black Hat, and DEF CON descend on Las Vegas
Open original transmissionNot sure how this will be taken, but I'm curious to hear if others have experienced this. I used to be a huge fan of Microsoft and technology in general, even to the point of buying Microsoft themed water bottles and going to their conferences back in college/high school. Now with about 7+ years in the industry... I can't stand them lmao. Early in my career, I would hear leads complain about patch tuesdays and lack of support, but it never hit me because I wasn't the one dealing with the fires. This past month has been my breaking point. Working in a DOD/DOW tenant, we have limitations commercial tenants don't, and we're trying to progress using specific Azure tools. Having meeting after meeting with new random people from microsoft, or the same nontechnical pms is one of the most frustrating and defeating things I've ever experienced... We are making zero progress. One week they say they have a demo for us, and the next they say it's impossible on our tenant. On top of that, sometimes we hit walls and need tenant-level admins (who are only microsoft embeds), they've been responding to our support tickets with: "Hello, ... I have taken advantage of Copilot," followed by straight BS. I can understand an initial automated email, but this is our 6th reply back on an email chain!!!!! Why are we having to repeat ourselves 6 times to a group of microsoft employees while they keep feeding us these stupid copilot responses asking for things we submitted in the very first fking ticket????? I know there are very smart people at Microsoft. I've met a few who fit what I envisioned in hs/college, and I even had the chance to meet with Jeffrey Snover 1on1 a few times, he's great! But man, if Microsoft is going to vendor lock companies, AT LEAST give us decent support man 🤦♂️.

Open original transmissionI noticed in the last 20 years or so that there's 2 types of IT hardware support workers: The precision "as-is" hardware ninjas and The "who cares" dongle goblins My earliest 3 IT jobs were just swapping out old computers for new ones on a contracted team. It was 90% of our job. I would replace the users' reference sticky notes and desk decor so perfectly that we got at least a dozen complaints that we forgot to replace their PC and monitors. About half of the rest of my team simply could not concentrate or didn't care. And this was around 2009, before Tik Tok and before most people gave a crap about smartphones. It was just their personality. I mean, I can't remember names so maybe it's just how we're wired. The #1 problem was forgetting to transfer the wireless mouse and keyboard dongle(s) to the new computer. We got back at least 50 that still had them in the USB ports and it was always the same 2 people. We nicknamed Donald: "Donny the Dongle Goblin" because he collected them like they were shiny treasures to be horded. Fast forward to my last last position - We had headset disconnections, wireless mouse interference, AP interference, and we traced it to the morons that rolled out 25 sets of identical wireless mice and keyboard on top of 4 APs and 100% wireless headsets, all using 2.4GHz. Plus people's smartphones on the guest wifi. Every time a flat-sided box truck or semi rolled past, it reflected the neighbors wifi in a way that flooded the spectrum and disconnected phone calls. For the entire 3 years I was there, they refused to stop ordering wireless mice and keyboard. Double digit percentages of our budget were replacing non-programmable logitech sets with missing or wrong dongles at like $40+ each. I don't know how that's even possible. It's laptop + dock on a desk and nobody traveled with them. Where did they go? How did they get mixed up? I HATE DONGLES! Can we just direct wire the damn peripherals so Donny and stop hording them and we can stop spending money replacing perfectly good keyboard and mice sets? submitted by /u/CeC-P [link] [comments]

Open original transmissionAn anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Apple has launched a new legal challenge against a UK government demand to access its customers' highly encrypted data, a year after the Home Office agreed to abandon its previous request. The US tech company launched the legal complaint last month at the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), an independent court that has the power to investigate claims that the UK intelligence services have acted unlawfully. The UK government had made a second request to Apple to grant it a "back door" to encrypted iCloud data belonging to British users, according to an order issued by the court. Britain backed down on its original demand for access to data from UK and US customers last year, after a heated transatlantic tussle over encryption between London and Washington. UK authorities subsequently issued a new "technical capability notice" (TCN) to Apple that did not apply to American users. Apple is seeking to challenge the British government's powers to issue TCNs under the UK Investigatory Powers Act, according to the details of the new legal case first reported by the Financial Times. [...] The original TCN issued last year asked Apple for the right to see users' encrypted data protected by its advanced data protection (ADP) program in the event of a national security risk. Apple said the removal of the tool -- which not even it can access -- would make users more vulnerable to data breaches from bad actors and other threats to customer privacy. Creating a "back door" would also mean all data was accessible by Apple, which it could be forced to share with law enforcement possessing a warrant. As a result, Apple withdrew UK customers' access to its ADP program in January 2025. The Home Office has maintained that the Investigatory Powers Act, under which such orders are issued, contains robust safeguards and is used only when absolutely necessary.

HBF is designed to create a new memory tier between High Bandwidth Memory and traditional SSD storage, giving AI inference systems more near compute capacity without relying entirely on expensive HBM. The specification supports capacities up to 512GB using 8-high and 16-high NAND stacks, with bandwidth tiers ranging from about 0.4TB per second to 3.0TB per second. It also uses the UCIe chiplet interface, which could make HBF easier to integrate with CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators.

Open original transmissionApple is prototyping a second new iPhone display, this one measuring around 6.4 inches, that could be destined for the 20th anniversary iPhone, according to a Chinese leaker. In a recent post on Weibo, the leaker known as "Digital Chat Station" said Apple is currently sampling two new display panels. One measures roughly 6.4 inches and has a chance of being used in the "iPhone 20 Pro," while the other is the approximately 7-inch panel previously reported for the larger "iPhone 20 Pro Max." According to the leaker, physical screen sizes across the entire 20th anniversary lineup are set to increase while the aspect ratio stays the same as before, and the devices may adopt an all-new borderless design with curves on all four edges. That would line up with earlier claims that the lineup will feature an edge-to-edge display with curved glass on all sides for a nearly borderless visual effect. A 6.4-inch screen would be a modest step up from the 6.3-inch displays on the current iPhone 17 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro, which is not expected to change size this year. Apple last grew its premium iPhone displays with the iPhone 16 Pro lineup in 2024, when the iPhone 16 Pro increased from 6.1 to 6.3 inches and the iPhone 16 Pro Max grew from 6.7 to 6.9 inches. The claim follows a Bloomberg report from last month that said Apple had ramped up work on two sizes of the 20th-anniversary iPhone. In addition to the new design and larger displays, Apple's 20th anniversary iPhone models are expected to feature under-display Face ID technology, a custom Apple image sensor, haptic buttons, the A21 chip, higher bandwidth memory, and a pure silicon battery.

Open original transmissionI'm the sole systems engineer for a small US manufacturer (~70 employees, automotive tier-1). I run everything across network, servers, identity, development, etc. I'd like (a) a sanity check, and (b) real talk about the future. What happened: About three weeks ago on a normal workday around noon, some people suddenly noticed that they weren't able to send or receive email. Shrug. Probably Outlook just being Outlook. But wasn't able to figure anything out, so took to the admin portal... But I couldn't even get in to the admin portal: AADSTS5000224: "the tenant you are trying to access has been deauthenticated and is no longer available." Man, I hope none of you ever have to feel the panic I felt when I read this message. I immediately went to try our breakglass unlicensed admin account, but received the same error. The very last email I received (which arrived after attempting these log-ins) was a notification that all of our subscriptions had been cancelled. Obviously, that was not an action I took. On further research it seems to be some sort of backend authorization state set by Microsoft (perhaps algorithmic automatic action in response to a detected security incident? - just blind speculation really). There is nothing client side to try at all. There is literally no admin path into our own tenant. Current status: 20 days down. The case has been passed between at least five different support people. It finally got "escalated to the product team to verify the tenant status," and for a week now the only updates I get are rolling "please allow an additional 48 hours." Meanwhile sign-in logs are on a retention clock, so the forensic record of who cancelled our subs (if anyone? maybe this cancellation is just an artifact of this deauth?) is about to age out while we're locked out of the only portal that could export it and Microsoft won't commit to preserving it server-side. That first day, I cut MX over to a temporary Fastmail tenant to keep email flowing. I was able to restore people's inboxes to these new accounts. Office apps are running in their month grace periods. All our real data is on-prem. Feeling very grateful that we deliberately never integrated more intensely with Microsoft's cloud services... To that end, the business is stable. But there are nevertheless many secondary effects as I'm sure you can all imagine. Okay, now that you know basically the story, it's time for some preemption so we just get it out of the way before I get to my actual questions: "You should have had MFA." We do, on every account. FIDO2- (yubikey) only for most accounts (I was literally mid rollout...) "You should have had CA." We do. Business Premium, Entra P1, CA policies in place, custom auth strength enforcing phishing-resistant (FIDO2) sign-in for admins. Plus all the standard: SMS auth killed off, SSPR locked down, legacy protocols (SMTP AUTH/POP/IMAP/ActiveSync) all disabled, external auto-forwarding blocked, Safe Links + Safe Attachments on, SPF/DKIM/DMARC all passing. "You should have a breakglass account." We do. Doesn't save you from this. "Hire an MSP" Okay, I mean, maybe fair? They'd just be in the same position though, so. If anything this is its own can of worms and there's a reason we don't have one. Alright. Now my questions: Has anyone actually lived through one of these AADSTS5000224 tenant deauthentications? How long did recovery really take, and what finally moved it? A specific support path, an escalation channel, a TAM, a Microsoft account rep, LinkedIn-ing a PM, a partner ticket? Anything? Were you able to discover what triggered the lockout in your case? How do you preserve/obtain audit/sign-in logs? I'm not sure what's going to happen in terms of retention when the tenant is in this state. Is our log data going to get nuked in a week? Trust. After this, how does anyone justify betting a company's ability to function on a platform where a backend flag can vaporize all access overnight, your breakglass account included, and the SLA to undo it is measured in weeks (and counting!) with no communication? I'm not naive enough to think "just leave M365" is free. But it's challenging to design around "Microsoft can turn us off and there's nothing you can do and no one will tell you why." How are you all handling that? Are you even? To be honest, I didn't know this was a thing that could even happen, really. So maybe you all didn't either. Thankfully we weren't super integrated. We basically use M365 for email, product licensing, and Teams, and that's about it. But it literally makes me shudder to think about what could have happened if it were otherwise. submitted by /u/SecaleOccidentale [link] [comments]

Open original transmissionWhatsApp today announced a series of updates to group chats, including an "@all" mention feature, three new poll upgrades, and a faster way to spin off new groups from existing ones. The most notable addition is @all, which lets a group member alert everyone in a chat at once instead of tagging people individually. WhatsApp says the feature is meant for important, time-sensitive messages, such as school or office closures, event deadlines, or last-minute changes to plans. In groups with more than 32 members, only admins can use @all. The mention will surface even in muted chats, though WhatsApp says users can mute @all specifically in their notification settings if they want to opt out. Polls are also gaining three improvements. Poll creators can now set an end time that automatically locks voting once it passes, hide voter names so participants can respond without others seeing their choices, and edit a poll's question for up to 15 minutes after posting it to fix typos or add clarity. WhatsApp is also simplifying group creation. A new "Create a similar group" option lets users start a new group chat populated with members from an existing one in a single tap, rather than adding participants one by one. WhatsApp suggests the feature for splitting off side conversations, such as planning a surprise party away from the group being surprised, or diving into a specific topic without cluttering the main chat. Today's changes come as a continuation of updates introduced earlier this year, when WhatsApp added group message history, member tags, and event reminders. WhatsApp has more than 100 million users in the U.S. and over 3 billion globally.Tag: WhatsAppThis article, "WhatsApp Adds '@ all' Mentions and Poll Upgrades to Group Chats" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Open original transmissionApple has asked a federal judge for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI as its trade secrets lawsuit escalates, and OpenAI responded hours later with a detailed public rebuttal that includes internal messages and legal correspondence. Reuters reports that Apple yesterday filed a motion seeking to bar OpenAI and two former employees, Chang Liu and Tang Tan, from accessing, using, or disclosing its alleged confidential information, along with a request for expedited discovery. "Apple will be irreparably harmed absent a preliminary injunction," the company said in its filing. Apple originally sued OpenAI on July 10, alleging that former Apple engineer Liu and former Apple design executive Tan ran a scheme to funnel confidential product information to OpenAI's hardware business. OpenAI has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, saying it has "no interest in other companies' trade secrets." Late on Monday evening, OpenAI published a blog post titled "Apple is getting this wrong," calling the lawsuit "careless, aggressive and oddly personal." The company disputes Apple's account of its pre-litigation contact, saying Apple's outside counsel emailed the wrong person in February after confusing two Asian last names, and published the underlying email chain showing the mix-up, along with an apology from Apple's counsel. OpenAI says it heard nothing further about the specific allegations for five months before Apple filed suit. OpenAI published iMessage exchanges it says show Apple employees repeatedly asking Liu for help locating files and technical information after his January 22 departure, including directing a colleague to AirDrop files from his Apple-linked iCloud account. The same messages show an Apple employee still asking Liu about internal files as late as March 5, with another participant in the thread calling the exchange "highly irregular." OpenAI also defended Tan, who spent 24 years at Apple before joining io Products, the hardware startup he co-founded with Jony Ive, which merged with OpenAI in July 2025. "Tang has always been clear with the team that we do not want, and must not use, any confidential information from other companies," OpenAI said. Apple's complaint claims more than 400 former Apple employees now work at OpenAI. A hearing on Apple's injunction request has not yet been scheduled.Tags: Apple Lawsuits, OpenAIThis article, "OpenAI Posts Public Rebuttal to Apple's Trade Secrets Lawsuit" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Open original transmissionCISA has added three new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2026-9198 IBM Langflow Code Injection Vulnerability CVE-2026-18556 N-able N-central Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel Vulnerability CVE-2026-34486 Apache Tomcat Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data Vulnerability These types of vulnerabilities are a frequent attack vector for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise. Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04: Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk establishes vulnerability management requirements for Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies. BOD 26-04 reinforces the importance of the KEV Catalog and requires federal agencies to prioritize rapid remediation of high-risk vulnerabilities, specifically those identified by Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) listed in CISA’s KEV Catalog on publicly exposed assets that grant total control of the asset post-exploitation, while deferring action for lower-risk vulnerabilities. BOD 26-04 further establishes basic expectations for when agencies must check whether threat actors compromised the system before the patch was applied. While BOD 26-04 applies only to FCEB agencies, CISA encourages all organizations to adopt risk-based vulnerability management and prioritize remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria. Aware of an exploited vulnerability not currently listed in the KEV Catalog? Submit it for potential addition through CISA’s KEV Nomination Form. Potential KEV additions must have a CVE ID, evidence of exploitation, and clear mitigation guidance.

Open original transmissionOverviewOn August 2, 2026, N-able published a security advisory for CVE-2026-18577, an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting N-central that was discovered being exploited in-the-wild after an incomplete fix for an earlier authentication bypass issue, CVE-2026-18556 was disclosed. CVE-2026-18577 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication and obtain administrative control of vulnerable N-central servers in affected deployments.N-able N-central is a widely deployed Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) platform used by managed service providers (MSPs) and enterprise IT teams to centrally administer servers, workstations, network devices, and other managed assets. Because the platform operates with extensive administrative privileges across customer environments, successful compromise of an N-central server can provide attackers with an efficient path to compromise downstream managed systems.According to N-able, exploitation of CVE-2026-18577 has been observed in the wild since August 1, 2026. Following successful exploitation, attackers leveraged the platform's Take Control functionality to remotely access managed endpoints, and deployed Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared) to establish persistent remote access. On August 3, 2026, CVE-2026-18577 was added to CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) catalog. Mitigation guidanceOrganizations operating vulnerable N-central deployments should prioritize remediation on an urgent basis, outside of normal patching schedules. Hosted N-central environments are upgraded automatically by the vendor, while on-premise deployments require manual remediation.Affected versions:All versions of N-able N-central up to and including version 2026.3.1, prior to Hotfix 1.Fixed version:N-able N-central 2026.3.1 Hotfix 1 (2026.3.1.7).The vendor also recommends:Upgrading N-central agents after applying the server hotfix.Reviewing systems for indicators of compromise.Contacting N-able Support immediately if evidence of compromise is discovered.Engaging internal incident response teams if malicious activity is identified.For further information, see the vendor advisory.IOCsN-able has published several artifacts that administrators should investigate during incident response.Endpoint Artifacts:Presence of a Cloudflared service.A suspicious svchost.exe located within the user's Documents folder.Network Indicators:Administrators should review historical network logs for inbound or outbound communication involving the malicious IP addresses identified by the vendor:173[.]249[.]252[.]20087[.]249[.]138[.]3437[.]19[.]210[.]3237[.]153[.]90[.]8892[.]118[.]112[.]18168[.]235[.]46[.]214 Organizations should also review:Authentication logsAdministrative account creation or modificationTake Control session activityRemote management logsWindows service installation eventsTo assist affected organizations running N-central, the vendor has provided a detection template for CVE-2026-18577, which organizations can use to help identify potential compromise.Rapid7 customersExposure Command, InsightVM, and NexposeExposure Command, InsightVM, and Nexpose customers can assess exposure to CVE-2026-18577 with a vulnerability check available in the August 4 content release.

Open original transmissionA Russia-linked group tracked as Midnight Blizzard has compromised hotel and conference Wi-Fi portals worldwide, redirecting guests to phishing pages and fake software updates that steal credentials, session tokens, and other sensitive data. Microsoft says the campaign, dubbed CaptiveCrunch, "targets traveling employees generally rather than a particular sector," reports iTNews. From the report: Midnight Blizzard, tracked internally by Microsoft under its earlier codename NOBELIUM, is attributed by the US and UK governments to Russia's SVR (Sluzhba Vneshney Razvedki) foreign intelligence service. Microsoft's technical analysis said compromises occurred in "several countries" without naming them, and it did not give a total number of affected venues, organisations or individuals. A related investigation published earlier in July by security firm ReliaQuest, and which Microsoft cited in its report, found compromised captive portal gateways across multiple United States cities as well as in India and Saudi Arabia, mostly at hotels. ReliaQuest said the traffic it observed came from organizations across financial services, professional services, legal, health care, energy and retail, suggesting the campaign targets traveling employees generally rather than a particular sector. [...] Where attackers gained a foothold, Microsoft said they deployed two main tools: CornFlake, a Windows remote access trojan (RAT) written in Go capable of keylogging, screenshot and webcam capture, audio surveillance and credential and session token theft. They would also drop ChocoShell, an in-memory PowerShell infostealer targeting browser cookies, saved passwords, Microsoft 365 single sign-on (SSO) tokens and wi-fi credentials. Microsoft also said it has seen indications the attackers might be targeting Android devices with similar prompts urging victims to download and install an APK file.

Open original transmissionApple briefly removed Telegram from the App Store on Monday night after a review found content that violated its guidelines against child sexual abuse material (CSAM), but restored the app a short while later, according to Reuters. Reports of the removal began circulating around 9:30 p.m. ET on Monday, with searches for Telegram on the App Store returning nothing and the app's direct listing showing a "page can't be found" error. Existing users were not affected and could keep using the app throughout, and Telegram remained available on the Mac App Store. The app returned to the App Store roughly 40 minutes later, around 10:10 p.m. ET. Apple confirmed the reason for the takedown in a statement: We briefly removed Telegram from the App Store after our review found content that violates our strict guidelines prohibiting child sexual abuse material. The app was subsequently restored after the developer promptly removed the content and banned the user who posted it. Telegram said the action stemmed from a single account. "Apple reported one user sharing CSAM, who was immediately banned," the company said, adding that it has removed more than 337,900 groups and channels related to CSAM in 2026, on top of 29,640 removals in 2025 following reports from groups including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated 🍎— Telegram Messenger (@telegram) August 4, 2026 Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, a longtime critic of App Store policy amid his own antitrust fight with Apple, argued on X that the takedown showed the need for more competition in app distribution. "Apple's App Store desperately needs competition worldwide," Sweeney wrote. "Apple capriciously removes a vital communication and privacy tool from availability to a billion users, and sadly this is business as usual." He went on to question the consistency of the standard Apple applied, noting the company "did not elaborate on how, if that is the standard for app removal, any communications app could operate at scale, including iMessage." Monday's action echoes a February 2018 removal, when Apple pulled both Telegram and its Telegram X client over what founder Pavel Durov described at the time as "inappropriate content," restoring the apps only after Telegram added extra safeguards.Tags: App Store, TelegramThis article, "Telegram Briefly Removed From App Store" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Open original transmissionEU-kommissionen meddelar att från och med den 2 augusti 2026 gäller nya transparenskrav för AI-system inom EU. De nya reglerna innebär att vissa typer av AI-genererat eller manipulerat innehåll måste märkas tydligt. EU har publicerat en samling ikoner som kan användas för detta. Kraven omfattar bland annat deepfakes. Alltså bilder, ljud och videor som efterliknar verkliga personer, platser eller händelser. De omfattar också system för känsloigenkänning och biometrisk kategorisering. Även AI-genererade texter om frågor av allmänintresse måste märkas, om de publiceras utan mänsklig granskning eller redaktionell kontroll. Användare ska också informeras när de kommunicerar med ett AI-system. Målet är att de nya reglerna ska göra det tydligare när människor interagerar med artificiell intelligens eller tar del av AI-genererat innehåll. Företag som bryter mot reglerna riskerar böter på upp till 15 miljoner euro eller 3 procent av den globala årsomsättningen.

Konflikten gäller ett så kallat “Technical Capability Notice” (TCN), ett föreläggande under Storbritanniens Investigatory Powers Act som kan tvinga teknikföretag att bistå säkerhetstjänster och brottbekämpande myndigheter med krypterad kunddata. Apple har vid flera tidigare tillfällen motsatt sig att införa bakdörrar i krypterade tjänster. Argumentet har varit att det skulle försvaga säkerheten för samtliga användare. Företaget har inte kommenterat det hela medan det brittiska inrikesdepartementet enligt lag inte kan uttala sig kring TCN-förelägganden.
Open original transmissionDet amerikanska analysföretaget Artificial Analysis har kommit fram till att kinesiska Deepseeks nya V4-Flash är den överlägset billigaste välkända AI-modellen på marknaden, rapporterar Reuters. Enligt företagets tester är AI-modellen 103 gånger billigare än Anthropics Claude Fable 5. V4-Flash kostade i genomsnitt bara 3 cent per benchmark, medan den kinesiska konkurrenten Moonshoots Kimi K3 kostade 86 cent. Amerikanska Open AI:s GPT-5.6 Sol kostade istället 1,86 dollar medan Anthropics Claude Fable 5 kostade hela 3,15 dollar. Enligt Artificial Analysis ger benchmarkkostnader en tydligare bild av verkliga driftkostnader än enbart pris per token. Detta eftersom den tar hänsyn till hur mycket data modellen behöver bearbeta för att lösa en uppgift. Pris per token ligger istället på 0,14 dollar per miljon inmatningstokens och 0,28 dollar per miljon utmatningstokens. Prestandamässigt placerar sig V4-Flash i mellanskiktet, på samma nivå som Googles Gemini 3.6 Flash, men efter Moonshots, Open AI:s och Anthropics senaste modeller.

Open original transmissionLongtime Slashdot reader schwit1 shares a report from Behind the Black: In a new bid to get the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) to move from Hawaii, which has blocked its construction for more than a decade, the Spanish government has put together a $1.14 billion package that would not only pay for construction on the Canary Islands, but would finance an additional half century of operations. Tech Times provides some additional details: The package is conditional on the TMT International Observatory formally choosing La Palma as its construction site. The financing architecture has three pillars and two additional contingent instruments. The first pillar is 400 million euros (approximately $456 million USD) from Spain's Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, routed through the Centre for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI). This figure was first pledged a year ago in July 2025 as Spain's initial bid. The second pillar is a 300 million-euro (approximately $342 million USD) loan from the EIB [European Investment Bank] itself -- subject to satisfactory completion of the bank's technical, financial, and legal due diligence and approval by its governing bodies. The third is a potential 300 million-euro (approximately $342 million USD) participation from the Instituto de Credito Oficial (ICO), Spain's state development finance institution, evaluated under equivalent conditions to the EIB loan but subject to its own separate analysis. Spain's export credit agency, Cesce, may also provide coverage instruments, and the EIB has left open the possibility of expanding its support through intermediated financing mechanisms or guarantees.

Open original transmissionSkugg-it har länge varit ett stort problem för it-chefer, men det största problemet kan komma från ledningens hunger efter icke-godkänd AI. Nästan två tredjedelar av de högre beslutsfattarna medger att de använder icke-godkända AI-verktyg, jämfört med endast 31 procent av de anställda på lägre nivå, enligt en undersökning utförd av Microsofts lösningspartner Trusted Tech. Användningen av skugg-AI är utbredd bland ledande befattningshavare, trots att tre av fyra medarbetare är medvetna om de säkerhets- och integritetsrisker som är förknippade med detta. ”De flesta användare av skugg-AI är inte omedvetna om risken”, skriver Trusted Tech i en rapport. ”De väljer ändå medvetet att använda dessa verktyg. Det här är inte en utbildningsfråga. Det är en fråga om kultur, incitament och alternativ.” I många fall beror problemet på bristen på godkända verktyg, tillägger rapporten. ”Människor använder skugg-AI eftersom det som deras arbetsgivare tillhandahåller är sämre än vanliga AI-verktyg, eller för att inget alls har godkänts från början”, står det i rapporten. ”Det kommer inte att förändras förrän de godkända verktygen verkligen är värda att använda.” En fråga om befogenheter Användningen av skugg-AI av vd:ar och andra ledande befattningshavare kan skapa stora problem för it-chefer, informationssäkerhetschefer och andra it-ledare, eftersom de kanske inte har befogenhet att sätta stopp för det. Det innebär också en utmaning för it-cheferna att tillhandahålla de AI-verktyg som medarbetare och chefer vill använda. När ledningen använder skugg-AI hamnar cio:er i en svår situation, eftersom styrning bara fungerar när den utgår från toppen, säger Andy Nolan, teknikchef på Trusted Tech. – Om ledande befattningshavare kringgår godkända AI-verktyg eller riktlinjer sänder det ett underförstått budskap om att snabbhet är viktigare än säkerhet och efterlevnad. Medarbetarna lägger märke till det beteendet, och det blir mycket svårare att be resten av organisationen att följa standarder som ledningen inte själv följer i första hand, säger han. Ett annat stort problem är att ledande befattningshavare ofta arbetar med mycket känslig information, bland annat finansiella data, strategiska planer, immateriella rättigheter och kundinformation, påpekar han. Men cio:er och ciso:er kan inte heller lösa problemet genom att agera som AI-poliser i varje situation, säger Nolan, eftersom deras roll är att hjälpa företaget att innovera på ett säkert sätt. – Det kräver samstämmighet bland ledningen, tydlig styrning och att man tillhandahåller säkra AI-verktyg som människor faktiskt vill använda. När ledningen anammar dessa lösningar är det nästan säkert att resten av organisationen följer efter. Bara risker, inga fördelar När ledande befattningshavare använder skugg-AI hamnar cio:er och ciso:er i en omöjlig situation, menar Amit Maloo, ciso hos AI-inköpsleverantören Ivalua. Cio:er och ciso:er hålls ansvariga för riskexponeringen men har ingen insyn i problemet, säger han. – När ledande befattningshavare använder AI-verktyg utan styrning för affärsbeslut får dessa beslut ändå konsekvenser, såsom ekonomiska åtaganden, granskning av avtal och datadelning. Men det finns ingen revisionsspår, ingen behörighetsmodell och inget sätt att rekonstruera vad som hände eller varför. En del av problemet är att godkända AI-alternativ ofta inte uppfyller användarnas behov, säger Maloo. – AI-riktlinjer räcker inte i sig; organisationer måste kombinera styrning med användbarhet. Om godkända AI-verktyg inte håller jämna steg med verksamhetens tempo kommer medarbetare på alla nivåer, inklusive ledningen, att hitta sina egna lösningar. Framgångsrika organisationer är de som gör den säkra vägen till den enklaste vägen. It-chefer kan inte lösa problemet med mer styrning, konstaterar han. – Riktlinjer och begränsningar bromsar skugg-AI, men de stoppar det inte, särskilt inte när de som använder det har tillräckligt hög befattning för att klara av den disciplinära risken. Vad cio:er kan göra är att fokusera på att tillhandahålla verktyg som ger användarna full tillgång till nödvändiga system och data, vilket eliminerar behovet av att välja mellan ett kapabelt men oreglerat verktyg och ett säkert men begränsat sådant. Hastighet framför säkerhet Undersökningen från Trusted Tech bekräftar en rapport från juni från Teramind, en leverantör av programvara för övervakning av anställda, som visade att mer än två tredjedelar av ledande befattningshavare prioriterar hastighet framför säkerhet när de använder AI-verktyg, konstaterar Nik Kale, chefsingenjör och produktarkitekt på Cisco samt medlem i Coalition for Secure AI. Dessutom visade Teramind-rapporten att två tredjedelar av företagens AI-aktivitet sker via personliga konton på plattformar där företaget redan har licenser, påpekar han. – Folk betalar för den reglerade versionen och använder den oreglerade versionen av samma produkt, så problemet ligger inte i verktygen. Den godkända vägen är långsammare, begravd i upphandlingsprocessen eller avskild från där arbetet faktiskt utförs, och hastigheten vinner alltid när det finns en deadline, säger han. Problemet ligger alltså inte i AI-verktygen, utan i de friktioner som uppstår, säger han. – Folk går inte runt ytterdörren för att rummet är låst. De går runt den för att ytterdörren är långsammare. I många fall avslöjar användningen av skugg-AI brister i företagsprocesserna, tillägger Matthew Scavetta, chief technology innovation officer hos it-lösningsleverantören Future Tech Enterprise. Många organisationer är inte särskilt bra på att informera sina anställda om vilka AI-verktyg som finns tillgängliga för dem, säger han, och många organisationer erbjuder inte utbildning i de godkända applikationerna, vilket får användarna att välja produkter som de är vana vid. – Om man inte löser människors problem snabbt eller informerar dem om vilka verktyg de kan använda på ett säkert sätt, kommer de att hitta en kringgående lösning. AI-verktyg skiljer sig inte från något annat. Ledningens användning av skugg-AI sätter it-cheferna i en oerhört svår situation, säger han. – Särskilt cio:er utsätts för allt större press för varje år att hänga med i vad som är möjligt, samtidigt som teknikpåverkare fortsätter att predika om potentialen hos dessa verktyg. Vd:ar och styrelseledamöter dras ständigt med i hypen och samtidigt publiceras allt fler fallstudier som visar hur liten avkastning vissa organisationer har uppnått. Det är ett oändligt spel där man måste balansera det möjliga mot det praktiska.

Open original transmissionAn anonymous reader quotes a report from Forbes: The cost of producing new results on ten longstanding mathematical problems just fell to $2,000, according to OpenAI, which says its Astra model generated machine-checkable proofs for questions that had resisted human progress for decades. OpenAI published the work on August 1 and used it to give its next major model family a name: Astra. The results run across group theory, high-dimensional geometry, coding theory, quantum complexity, lattice cryptography and extremal combinatorics. They arrived as a 249-page manuscript collection and, alongside it, something the field has not seen attached to an AI claim before at this scale: a machine-checkable certificate for every single result. The problems were not textbook exercises dressed up as discoveries. Each had been open for at least ten years, most of them far longer, and several sit at the center of their subfields: - A construction establishing the existence of non-sofic groups, a question that has occupied group theorists for years. - A disproof of Connes's rigidity conjecture, a long-standing problem in the theory of von Neumann algebras. - An improvement to the general upper bound on sphere-packing density in high dimensions, a bound that had stood since 1978. - Three problems come from the catalogue of open questions left behind by Paul Erdos. The announcement follows another result from May, when OpenAI used a similar reasoning model to produce an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdos in 1946.

Open original transmissionApple is working on a new feature that will support cross-device copy and paste between iOS devices and Windows PCs. Microsoft asked for the feature using Apple's EU interoperability request system for developers, which Apple implemented to comply with the Digital Markets Act. Apple began evaluating the request in March, and on June 26, proposed a project plan. Microsoft described how the feature would be used: Copy text or other supported content on their iPhone and paste it directly on their Windows PC, and vice versa. Perform common productivity workflows without needing to foreground an app or take explicit repeated actions to initiate a transfer. Experience clipboard synchronization as a lightweight, continuous capability rather than a manual, app-driven operation. Apple proposed a solution that would let an iPhone share and import items from the pasteboard to a paired accessory, like a Windows PC. Apple plans to use a solution similar to the Accessory Notifications option it added for third-party wearables in the EU in iOS 26.5. Users would need to give a paired device one-time permission to paste content from an iPhone. To adopt this solution, you will need to adopt AccessorySetupKit in order for the user to consent to the necessary permissions allowing the pasteboard to be shared with your accessory. This solution will require the user to perform a one-time consent to sharing the pasteboard with each paired accessory that will receive this functionality. Right now, an app can only read an iPhone's clipboard if the app is actively running in the foreground and the user grants clipboard access with each copy/paste action. For its own devices, Apple has a Universal Clipboard feature with cross-device copy and paste between iOS and macOS. Microsoft complained that the clipboard restrictions imposed on apps prevent the continuous synchronization of clipboard content from an iPhone to a PC or other connected device in the background. Apple says introducing cross-device copy and paste is a significant engineering effort, with work expected to be complete by fall 2027. It will be shipped first in a developer beta for testing ahead of a public release. If the feature is added toward the end of fall 2027, it could be early 2028 before the public gets access. It is likely that cross-device copy and paste will be limited to iPhone and Windows users in the European Union, though it is possible Apple could implement it worldwide. Apple has brought some features it was required to support under the DMA to all countries, like eSIM transfers from iPhone to Android and simpler data transfers when switching between Android devices and iPhones. Other features, like AirPods-style pairing and notification forwarding for third-party wearables, have only rolled out in the EU.Tags: European Union, MicrosoftThis article, "Apple Plans iPhone-to-Windows Copy and Paste in EU After Microsoft Request" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

"Think you have the stache to make fans believe? Join the fun this August 6 at Apple Fifth Avenue Plaza for a Ted Lasso Look-Alike contest," reads Apple's Facebook event page. Apple has a set of contest rules instructing participants to visit Apple Fifth Avenue to be judged on "the degree to which they look and act like the character Ted Lasso." There will be a three-round contest with eliminations in each round. Ten semifinalists will be selected after round one, five finalists will make it past round two, and three finalists will be selected in round three. The event starts at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time and runs until 7:00 p.m. Round One, Ted Energy - Contestants have to introduce themselves in character and have a two-minute dance break. Judging will be based on optimism, posture, and presence, along with costume commitment and participation level. Round Two, Head Coach - Semifinalists will participate in a trivia game and will be judged on the level to which each participant embraces the Ted Lasso character. The round will be judged on trivia results, costume commitment, mustache authenticity (Apple says 'stick-ons OK; real grows extra credit'), and The Believe Factor (something unique and special). Round Three, Ted Talk - Each remaining contestant will present a 30- to 45-second pep talk to the crowd. It will be judged on how moved the crowd is, costume commitment, and Ted Energy. A first-place winner will receive custom Beats headphones and a custom soccer scarf, while the two runners-up will get the scarf alone. Full rules are on Apple's site for the event. Season four of Ted Lasso will premiere on Wednesday, August 5, and it has 10 total episodes. One episode will be released every Wednesday through October 7. In the new season, Lasso returns to Richmond to coach a second-division women's soccer team. Ted Lasso favorites including Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift will star in the series.This article, "Apple Will Judge Your Mustache Authenticity at Its Ted Lasso Look-Alike Contest" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Open original transmissionThe latest update to the Google Health app for iOS allows Google Health data to sync to Apple Health. Google's app is used to collect data from wearables like Fitbit trackers and the Pixel Watch. Sync to Apple Health. Share your data like your exercise records, sleep, vitals, steps, and more from Google Health to Apple Health. Google Health (previously the Fitbit app) collects fitness, sleep, and wellness data from a connected wearable device. Steps, distance traveled, heart rate, sleep, and more can now be added to Apple Health. As noted on Reddit, some data such as HRV doesn't transfer over. Syncing can be enabled after downloading the update by selecting Connections, choosing Apps and services, and then adding Apple Health. Apple Health data already synced to Google Health, so the new update adds two-way sync between the platforms.
