Financial regulators in Canada this week levied $176 million in fines against Cryptomus, a digital payments platform that supports dozens of Russian cryptocurrency exchanges and websites hawking cybercrime services. The penalties for violating Canada’s anti money-laundering laws come ten months after KrebsOnSecurity noted that Cryptomus’s Vancouver street address was home to dozens of foreign currency dealers, money transfer businesses, and cryptocurrency exchanges — none of which were physically located there. On October 16, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Center of Canada (FINTRAC) imposed a $176,960,190 penalty on Xeltox Enterprises Ltd., more commonly known as the cryptocurrency payments platform Cryptomus.…
Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. America’s Solar and Storage Manufacturing Renaissance Is at Risk if Administration’s Energy Policies Aren’t Corrected WASHINGTON D.C. — New data from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) shows that the entire solar supply chain has been reshored and U.S. manufacturing capacity has grown across every segment of the solar and storage supply chain. With the news of Hemlock’s new ingot and wafer facility coming online in Q3, the United States now has the capacity to produce every major component of the solar supply chain. 65 new or expanded solar and storage facilities…
Swift 6 appeared at WWDC 2024, and all of us rushed to migrate all our apps to it … well, not really. We were pretty happy with what we got at WWDC 2021 — Swift 5.5’s shiny new structured concurrency framework that helped us write safe code more swiftly with async/await and actors. Swift 6 seemed to break everything, and it felt like a good idea to wait a while. One year later, the migration path looks a lot smoother, with lots more guideposts. Keep reading to find out how much easier it’s become. From Single-Thread to Concurrency The goal…
Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and I know that most of us wish to make our moms or mothers of our children feel extra special on this day. Indeed, there are many ways to do so, including a special night out, a dinner, roses, jewelry, and more, but I believe that we can try to think a bit outside the box and try to give them something that they may find useful, which is why we have made this list to help you find the best gift for your special lady. For fitness lovers Brand Apple Battery Life…
See the canonical version of this blog post at the Microsoft Open Source Blog! Ten years ago, Microsoft released the source for MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0 to the Computer History Museum, and then later republished them for reference purposes. This code holds an important place in history and is a fascinating read of an operating system that was written entirely in 8086 assembly code nearly 45 years ago. Today, in partnership with IBM and in the spirit of open innovation, we’re releasing the source code to MS-DOS 4.00 under the MIT license. There’s a somewhat complex and fascinating…
Elizabeth Figura, a Wine Developer at CodeWeavers, speaks with host Jeremy Jung about the Wine compatibility layer and the Proton distribution. They discuss a wide range of details including system calls, what people run with Wine, how games are built differently, conformance and regression testing, native performance, emulating a CPU vs emulating system calls, the role of the Proton downstream distribution, improving Wine compatibility by patching the Linux kernel and other related projects, Wine’s history and sustainment, the Crossover commercial distribution, porting games without source code, loading executables and linked libraries, the difference between user space and kernel space, poor…
To determine the extent to which organizational data performance has improved as generative AI and other AI advances have taken hold, MIT Technology Review Insights surveyed 800 senior data and technology executives. We also conducted in-depth interviews with 15 technology and business leaders. Key findings from the report include the following: • Few data teams are keeping pace with AI. Organizations are doing no better today at delivering on data strategy than in pre-generative AI days. Among those surveyed in 2025, 12% are self-assessed data “high achievers” compared with 13% in 2021. Shortages of skilled talent remain a constraint, but…
Network resilience is a critical concern for every business, regardless of size or industry. While modern equipment is more reliable than ever, the reality is that physical interruptions—from fiber cuts to car accidents—are an unavoidable part of the network landscape.
Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL), the third-largest telecom operator in the country, has added active users after a long gap of 21 months. But what’s noticeable about this is that the gain is almost close to nothing. The telco’s active subscriber base went up from 171.52 million in August 2025 to 171.54 million in September 2025. This means an effective gain of just 0.02 million active users. This is not remotely enough to make any material difference in the telco’s business. However, it could be a sign of a changing business. The telco has invested pretty much the most in the…
As Cadence Design Systems leverages AI to push ever more deeply into computational science, what does that mean for engineers? WASHINGTON DC, Oct. 28, 2025: — NVIDIA’s GTC DC event, a first-time riff on its flagship confab, is showcasing how the latest and greatest in artificial intelligence (AI) is being used (broadly) for business transformation and process automation. But behind these advancements are legions of engineers who are using AI to design the increasingly complex systems underlying things like real-time aerospace design, digital twins of data centers, multi-physics simulation and so forth. One of the things I wanted to gain insight…
