Microsoft Corp. today released software updates to plug at least 570 security holes in its Windows operating systems and other software, almost triple the number of vulnerabilities the software giant fixed in its record-smashing Patch Tuesday release last month. Microsoft attributed the burgeoning patch counts to vulnerability discoveries aided by artificial intelligence. Nearly 60 of the bugs quashed in July’s Patch Tuesday earned a “critical” severity rating, meaning miscreants or malware could use them to seize remote control over a Windows device with little or no help from the user. Microsoft also addressed three zero-day flaws, including two that are…

It’s not always easy to find good open-ear earbud deals, at least when compared with those of traditional earbuds. For that reason, it’s exciting to see Amazon cut our favorite open-ear earbuds, the Bose Ultra Open earbuds, back down to their lowest price ever. The deal represents a 33% price drop, marking $100 in savings and bringing their price down to just $199.We love the Bose Ultra Open earbuds for a number of reasons, but especially for their powerful immersive sound setting, their minimal, sleek design, fast charging speeds, and a relatively long battery life.While they don’t come with multipoint…

Businesses depend on different applications to run operations, serve customers, and support growth. However, applications that once brought significant value can gradually become expensive to maintain and extremely difficult to improve. According to Forbes, over two-thirds of businesses still use legacy apps for core business operations, and more than 60% rely on them to power customer-facing applications. When technologies evolve, older systems may no longer integrate well with modern platforms, expose organizations to security risks, or prevent teams from incorporating new features. Legacy application modernization services involve the process of updating existing software, so that it aligns with current business…

TESTINGMocking network requests even easierPhoto by Taylor Vick on UnsplashNowadays, it is necessary to modify an older library to TS and perform unit testing. If the library is modified to TS, there is still a little bit better. Unit testing is purely a current study and sold now. For beginners to learn the Jest framework, I think the more troublesome thing in unit testing is to test network requests. So record some of the ways that Mock dropped Axios to initiate network requests. This is my 39th Medium article.IntroductionThe examples mentioned in the article are all in the jest-mock-server repository. You can start…

This year’s Kavli Prize in Nanoscience recognizes the field of twistronics and exemplifies how simple approaches can shape nanoscience research. The 2026 Kavli Prize in Nanoscience recognizes Eva Y. Andrei, Allan H. MacDonald and Pablo Jarillo-Herrero for their pioneering work that established the field of twistronics. It is a fitting moment not only to celebrate these remarkable contributions, but also to reflect on how a simple idea changed nanoscience: rotate one atomically thin crystal with respect to another, and a new material is born.

Life Sciences commercial teams have a familiar problem: every few years, the industry finds a new way to create fragmentation.  First came Customer Relationship Management (CRM) add-ons. Then omnichannel tools, content platforms, analytics dashboards, field enablement systems, event platforms, patient engagement tools, and next-best-action engines. Each solved a real problem. Each also added one more screen, workflow, data source, and integration challenge.  Now, agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) risks becoming the next layer of complexity.  Almost every commercial technology provider is introducing agents, copilots, assistants, or agentic applications. Field teams will have agents. Medical teams will have agents. Marketing teams will have agents, patient services teams will have agents, CRM, analytics, and content…

In the eastern Indian Ocean, south of Java in the vast sea stretching toward Australia, a fishing vessel slightly alters its course while operating near the boundary of its authorized fishing ground. Nothing appears unusual on deck. Nets remain in the water. Engines maintain a steady speed. To the crew, it is an ordinary day at sea.Yet hundreds of kilometers above, satellites continuously record the vessel’s position. At Indonesia’s Marine and Fisheries Resources Surveillance Station, in Cilacap, where I work, a monitoring platform receives the signal and automatically compares it against fishing permits, designated fishing grounds, vessel characteristics, and historical…

Contributed Article The BoGuan LLM is enabling millions of visitors to enjoy historically accurate experiences from China’s ancient capital Xi’an, situated in Shaanxi province, is one of the most celebrated cities in all of China. Internationally renowned as the home of the Terracotta Army, the city served as China’s capital for over 1,000 years under 13 different dynasties. Today, it is one of China’s largest domestic tourism destinations, attracting around 330 million visitors annually. With the rapid rise of AI, the way in which tourists interact with the city is changing. As generative AI becomes increasingly commonplace, tourists are beginning…

I keep seeing the same idea in conversations about agents: Detailed specs are old-world overhead now. Give the model a rough goal, let it explore, fix what comes back, move on. It sounds efficient but it also hides the cost.A simple prompt looks cheap and tempting because it gets implementation started right away. Then the correction loops start. You review output, clarify intent, ask for changes, rerun tests, find the next gap, and do it again. Someone still has to decide whether the result matches the real goal. That person becomes the oracle.At the other extreme, full formal specification is…

New York has paused state environmental approvals for large new data centre projects while it develops rules covering electricity demand, environmental effects, and infrastructure costs.As reported by Reuters, the moratorium will remain in place for up to one year and applies to new facilities and expansions capable of consuming at least 50MW. New York is the first US state to introduce a statewide pause covering data centre developments of this scale.The executive order identifies cloud computing, artificial intelligence, data storage, content delivery, and streaming among the services supported by the facilities covered by the measure. It directs the New York…
