Microsoft today issued patches to plug at least 113 security holes in its various Windows operating systems and supported software. Eight of the vulnerabilities earned Microsoft’s most-dire “critical” rating, and the company warns that attackers are already exploiting one of the bugs fixed today. January’s Microsoft zero-day flaw — CVE-2026-20805 — is brought to us by a flaw in the Desktop Window Manager (DWM), a key component of Windows that organizes windows on a user’s screen. Kev Breen, senior director of cyber threat research at Immersive, said despite awarding CVE-2026-20805 a middling CVSS score of 5.5, Microsoft has confirmed its…

I’m encountering a weird behavior on iOS 26. I have a simple Liquid Glass button on a view. struct ContentView: View { @State private var isSheetVisible: Bool = false @State private var text: String = "" var body: some View { VStack { Button { isSheetVisible.toggle() } label: { Text("Show Sheet") .font(.system(size: 20)) .fontWeight(.semibold) } .buttonStyle(.glassProminent) .controlSize(.large) .buttonSizing(.flexible) .tint(.red) .frame(width: 340) .disabled(text.isEmpty) } .padding() .sheet(isPresented: $isSheetVisible) { OverlaySheet() } } } This works fine. And if I disable the button like this .disabled(text.isEmpty), the opacity of the text on the button is reduced a little but still remains clearly visible.…

Simplifying IoT Security and Accelerating ComplianceThe EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces a new era of mandatory cybersecurity requirements for connected products placed on the European market. For IoT manufacturers and service providers, compliance is no longer optional – and the stakes are high.Join Thales and Brightsight on 10 February for an expert-led webinar designed to help you navigate the CRA with confidence and clarity.In this practical session, we will break down what the EU Cyber Resilience Act really means for your IoT products – from secure-by-design requirements to ongoing vulnerability management throughout a device’s lifetime.You will gain a pragmatic,…

Language learning marketplace Preply is now valued at $1.2 billion after raising a $150 million Series D round that marks a new chapter for the 14-year-old company, whose previous backers include Horizon Capital, Hoxton Ventures, Owl Ventures and Techstars Berlin. While Preply has been connecting language learners with tutors since 2013, it has now been EBITDA profitable for twelve months. Not coincidentally, it has also ramped up AI integration to support its 100,000 tutors and continue scaling. That’s a fine line — Duolingo faced backlash after declaring it would become an “AI-first company,” and tutors have been a key differentiator…

A software development workflow is a fundamental component of many software development projects. It equally affects team performance, quality of the final product, and project development timeline. Once well-optimized, it can bring significant benefits to the product owners – minimize development expenses, effectively distribute resources, improve team productivity, and much more. Therefore, it’s essential to continuously track and improve the software development workflow during the product development process. In this article, we’ll have a look at the components of a solid software development workflow and explain how to optimize it effectively. What Is a Workflow in Software Development? A workflow…

Anyone who has worked in product development for more than a few years has seen the same pattern repeat itself. Today’s essential technical skills gradually—or sometimes abruptly—become obsolete. Tools change. Frameworks fall out of favor. Architectures that once seemed modern begin to look dated. This isn’t new, but it is accelerating. The half-life of technical skills keeps shrinking. In the 1980s, it took ten years for half of what you knew to become outdated. Today, it is four years, and will soon fall below two years according to a Stanford professor. This reality raises an important question for leaders: Where…

The following article originally appeared on Medium and is being republished here with the author’s permission.Open source has been evolving for half a century, but the last two decades have set the stage for what comes next. The 2000s were the “star stage”—when open source became mainstream, commercial, and visible. The 2010s decentralized it, breaking the hierarchy and making forking normal. Now, in the 2020s, it’s transforming again as generative AI enters the scene—as a participant.This decade isn’t just faster. It’s a different kind of speed. AI is starting to write, refactor, and remix code and open source projects at a scale…

For the past two years, enterprise Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategies have revolved around one central question: which model should we use? Larger, faster, and more fluent foundation models, especially Large Language Models (LLMs), became the focal point of experimentation and investment.  That phase is now ending.  As enterprises move from pilots to scaled deployment, a critical reality is becoming clear: models alone do not create business value. Value emerges only when AI can act reliably, repeatedly, and within enterprise controls. The next phase of AI success will be defined less by model selection and more by how effectively organizations orchestrate AI across data, tools, workflows, and governance.  Recent ecosystem moves, most notably Meta’s acquisition…

When people talk face to face, nearly half of their attention is drawn to the movement of the lips. Despite this, robots still have great difficulty moving their mouths in a convincing way. Even the most advanced humanoid machines often rely on stiff, exaggerated mouth motions that resemble a puppet, assuming they have a face at all. Humans place enormous importance on facial expression, especially subtle movements of the lips. While awkward walking or clumsy hand gestures can be forgiven, even small mistakes in facial motion tend to stand out immediately. This sensitivity contributes to what scientists call the “Uncanny…
