Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, and members of his executive team shared the following communications with employees today. SATYA NADELLA MESSAGE Gaming has been part of Microsoft from the start. Flight Simulator shipped before Windows, and you can practically ray‑trace a line from DirectX in the ’90s to the accelerated‑compute era we’re in today. As we celebrate Xbox’s 25th year, the opportunity and innovation agenda in front of us is expansive. Today we reach over 500 million monthly active users, are a top publisher across all platforms, and continue to innovate across gaming hardware, content, and community, in service of…

Mainframe programmers are problem-solvers. In today’s large, complex data centers, we’re often faced with ad-hoc questions from management – questions that echo the old National Enquirer slogan, “Inquiring Minds Want to Know.” And management usually wants answers right now: What does this dataset look like? What are its characteristics? How much space does it occupy? When was it created and last referenced? For a single dataset, this sort of information can usually be obtained with a glance at an ISPF panel or two. For a list of datasets, though, it’s not so simple. We need to obtain detailed data for…

Last week, we took a major step forward with the availability of Claude Opus 4.6 in Microsoft Foundry, bringing frontier AI capable of deep reasoning, agentic workflows, and complex decision-making to enterprise developers and builders. If Opus represents the highest tier of AI performance, Sonnet 4.6 builds on that momentum by delivering nearly Opus-level intelligence at a lower price, while often being more token efficient than Claude Sonnet 4.5.  Claude Sonnet 4.6 is available today in Microsoft Foundry, and it is designed for teams who want frontier performance across coding, agents, and professional work at scale. With Sonnet 4.6, customers…

Ravie LakshmananFeb 21, 2026Artificial Intelligence / DevSecOps Artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic has begun to roll out a new security feature for Claude Code that can scan a user’s software codebase for vulnerabilities and suggest patches. The capability, called Claude Code Security, is currently available in a limited research preview to Enterprise and Team customers. “It scans codebases for security vulnerabilities and suggests targeted software patches for human review, allowing teams to find and fix security issues that traditional methods often miss,” the company said in a Friday announcement. Anthropic said the feature aims to leverage AI as a tool…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Or support our Kickstarter campaign! The Supreme Court’s decision limiting presidential tariff authority should have reduced uncertainty. Instead, it introduced a new layer of it. The Court narrowed the use of one statute for imposing broad tariffs. The response from the administration was immediate. Tariffs would continue under other authorities, and tariffs already collected would not be refunded. For capital markets, that sequence does not resolve risk. It shifts it. Clean technology deployment sits directly in the path of that shift because it is capital intensive, supply chain…

I’m using Expo SDK 54. In iOS when I use expo-router/unstable-native-tabes we cant wrap with another component. AppHeader should to go the page top. This breaks in iOS 26. How can we put this on every page top? import { useEffect } from ‘react’ import { Platform } from ‘react-native’ import { useAuth } from ‘@/context/AuthContext’ import { useRouter, Stack, usePathname } from ‘expo-router’ import { NativeTabs, Icon, Label, Badge } from ‘expo-router/unstable-native-tabs’ import MaterialIcons from ‘@expo/vector-icons/MaterialIcons’ import DashboardLayout from ‘@/components/layouts/DashboardLayout’ import AppHeader from ‘@/components/ui/header’ export default function ProtectedLayout() { const pathname = usePathname() const router = useRouter() const {…

After announcing the preview of managed integrations for AWS IoT Device Management on March 3rd, 2025, we are excited to share that the capability is now generally available, enabling developers to streamline cloud onboarding of IoT devices and unify device control across multiple brands and protocols. While IoT technology has been widely used in consumer and commercial applications, especially smart homes, fragmentation remains a major challenge. Users continue to face problems with incompatible devices, diverse protocols, and separate control systems that create interoperability barriers. To address these challenges, AWS IoT Device Management now offers managed integrations that include cloud and device…

Posted by Shai Barack, Android Platform Performance Lead and Charles Munger, Principal Software EngineerIn Android 17, apps targeting SDK 37 or higher will receive a new implementation of MessageQueue where the implementation is lock-free. The new implementation improves performance and reduces missed frames, but may break clients that reflect on MessageQueue private fields and methods. To learn more about the behavior change and how you can mitigate impact, check out the MessageQueue behavior change documentation. This technical blog post provides an overview of the MessageQueue rearchitecture and how you can analyze lock contention issues using Perfetto.The Looper drives the UI…

Antiracist economist Kim Crayton says that “intention without strategy is chaos.” We’ve discussed how our biases, assumptions, and inattention toward marginalized and vulnerable groups lead to dangerous and unethical tech—but what, specifically, do we need to do to fix it? The intention to make our tech safer is not enough; we need a strategy. Article Continues Below This chapter will equip you with that plan of action. It covers how to integrate safety principles into your design work in order to create tech that’s safe, how to convince your stakeholders that this work is necessary, and how to respond to…
