Longtime Slashdot reader Dotnaught shares a report from The Register: For the past 90 days, Microsoft has been quietly patching a firmware flaw in Surface devices that allowed the hardware to be bricked with a single packet, though only for those who have disabled Secure Core and Secure Boot. And the company's Copilot AI software inadvertently helped identify the faulty firmware.
According to Jack Darcy, a security researcher based in Australia, his instance of Microsoft Copilot stumbled across the bug af

The Honor Magic V6 is the most complete large foldable out there. It is the first in the category with both IP68 and IP69 certifications, has the best camera system on any large foldable, and offers battery life that puts most slab phones to shame. The crease and a complicated performacne setup are the only caveats in an otherwise easy recommendation. Read more ›

G-code часто выглядит как простой язык команд для станка: поехать в точку, включить шпиндель, опустить инструмент, пройти рез. Но стоит задаче стать немного живее — добавить параметры, копии, повороты, состояние инструмента и зависимость от текущего режима, — как внутри языка без привычных if, while, массивов и нормальных имён начинает проступать настоящее программирование.

What if some black holes aren’t black holes at all? A new theoretical study suggests that when a massive star collapses, it might not form a singularity hidden behind an event horizon. Instead, the collapse could trigger the birth of a tiny new universe inside the dying star. Driven by dark energy, this miniature cosmos would expand and push back against gravity, preventing complete collapse and creating an exotic object... Read more ›

В каждой лаборатории один и тот же биомаркер называют по-своему, и кажется логичным «схлопнуть все синонимы в один код». Но это работает ровно наполовину: LOINC-код — это не название анализа, а шесть осей (что, чем, где, как измерили), и рядом нужен UCUM для единиц.Почему «синонимы → код» — ловушка, зачем нужны и LOINC, и UCUM, как это ложится в OMOP для RWE и почему финальный код нельзя доверить языковой модели....

Привет! Меня зовут Максим Черотайкин, я инженер 1С в Selectel. Практически каждая компания использует 1С, когда ей нужно автоматизировать учет и бизнес-процессы, а также вовремя сдавать отчетность. Платформу можно запустить на разных операционных системах: Windows, macOS и других. Однако многие специалисты избегают Linux, потому что в нем нет графической оболочки и он кажется сложным для работы. В статье хочу убедить вас, что на самом деле это просто. Для этого мы...

Simon Ritter joined Sun Microsystems in 1996 and spent time working in both Java development and consultancy. He's now written an opinion piece for InfoWorld warning that "Between 2029 and 2032, every currently supported long-term support (LTS) version of Java will reach end-of-support within a single three-year window." That's Java 17 in 2029, Java 8 in 2030, Java 21 in 2031, and Java 11 in 2032... On paper, this looks... Read more ›

Если посмотреть, как устроен наш сегодняшний мир, — на мой взгляд, неожиданно актуальным оказывается не Азимов со своими законами робототехники и не Стругацкие с их предсказаниями последствий информационной эпохи, а Сергей Снегов. Он угадал не столько технологии, сколько способы взаимодействия с ними, детально описав, как вычислительные системы становятся посредником между человеком и реальностью.Главная идея Снегова вовсе не техническая.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders announced a plan for the public to take a 50% ownership stake in AI companies, remembers the Associated Press. And then OpenAI's Sam Altman "told Sanders that he, too, wants the public to have equity in AI companies." Though the CEO said he couldn't support Sanders' threshold of 50%, he nonetheless wanted to work with him to advocate for the general idea, according to people with... Read more ›

A "growing wave" of Reddit's "promoted posts" are sending U.S. and European audiences to money-stealing scams that impersonate major news organizations including the BBC, the Financial Times, and The Guardian, according to new findings from Bitdefender Labs. "Domains are short-lived and rapidly rotated to evade detection," they write, noting that the impersonating sites apparently even use language "to falsely imply that the investment platform had been reviewed, approved, or vetted"...

Science magazine reports: For decades, string theory promised a "theory of everything" that described all particles and forces as tiny vibrating strings. Physicists hoped it could also solve one of the field's deepest problems: reconciling quantum mechanics with gravity. But as string theory grew increasingly elaborate — and experimentally unreachable — many physicists lost hope. Now, some researchers are revisiting the theory from first principles. In a paper in press... Read more ›

The new James Bond-themed videogame 007 First Light had a budget of 1.3 billion Danish krone — a little more than USD $202 million, reports IGN, citing a report from Denmark's public service broadcaster.

"Can a company take away something you've already paid for?" asks the BBC. "In the world of online video games, some already do." Publishers can decide to switch off a game's servers, often leaving it effectively unplayable. Stop Killing Games, a growing consumer rights campaign started by American YouTuber Ross Scott in 2024, is challenging that practice. In January, the group submitted a petition featuring nearly 1.3 million signatures to... Read more ›
