As part of a Year in Review blog detailing changes Valve made to Steam in 2025, the company shared a minor update on its hardware plans that doesn’t sound good for anyone hoping to buy a Steam Machine, Steam Controller or Steam Frame in 2026. Specifically, the company is now opening up the possibility its new hardware won’t ship this year at all.In February, when Valve acknowledged the ongoing memory and storage shortage had delayed the launch of its hardware and could lead to higher prices, the company was still committing to a (fairly wide) window of when its hardware…
Key Takeaways LOTL attacks use trusted tools like PowerShell, WMI, and RDP, making malicious activity appear identical to normal administrative behavior inside OT networks. OT environments are especially vulnerable due to legacy systems, limited logging, and inherited IT/OT trust relationships. Signature-based tools fail because LOTL introduces no malware, only misuse of legitimate capabilities. Detection requires behavioral baselines, passive OT monitoring, deep session inspection, and ICS-specific threat intelligence. Without comprehensive OT visibility, dwell time expands dramatically, increasing operational and safety risk. The most dangerous attacker inside your OT network right now may not have brought a single piece of malware with…
Portrait Light: You can change up the lighting in your portrait selfies after you take them by opening them up in Google Photos, tapping the Edit button, and heading to Actions > Portrait Light.

Alibaba’s team has released Qwen3.5, the latest generation of open-weight large language and multimodal models. This series pushes the boundaries of performance and efficiency, enabling high-end capabilities on dramatically reduced compute budgets. The release aligns with an industry-wide pivot toward efficient, deployable AI: models that deliver advanced reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, and native multimodality while fitting on consumer hardware, edge devices, servers with modest resources, or even local/privacy-focused setups. Qwen3.5 spans a broad family of sizes and architectures, from ultra-compact dense models under 1 billion parameters to massive sparse MoE flagships exceeding 300 billion total parameters. This tiered lineup lets…
Microsoft has confirmed what many have speculated: that its next-generation gaming console will be a hybrid piece of hardware that can play Xbox games as well as Windows PC games.There aren’t yet any details on a release window, pricing or specs, but the new head of Microsoft’s gaming division, Xbox CEO Asha Shar, wrote in a post on X on Thursday that Project Helix is the code name and that “Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games.”Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox…
Ravie LakshmananMar 06, 2026Threat Intelligence / Cyber Espionage The Pakistan-aligned threat actor known as Transparent Tribe has become the latest hacking group to embrace artificial intelligence (AI)-powered coding tools to strike targets with various implants. The activity is designed to produce a “high-volume, mediocre mass of implants” that are developed using lesser-known programming languages like Nim, Zig, and Crystal and rely on trusted services like Slack, Discord, Supabase, and Google Sheets to fly under the radar, according to new findings from Bitdefender. “Rather than a breakthrough in technical sophistication, we are seeing a transition toward AI-assisted malware industrialization that allows…
Anthropic PBC today announced it has introduced a detection tool that measures artificial intelligence’s displacement of jobs. The forecasts so far of what AI will do to the labor force have ranged from dystopian to mild. No one knows what will happen, although Anthropic PBC Chief Executive Dario Amodei has been at the forefront of raising the alarm concerning what might happen. In 2025, he warned that all entry-level white-collar jobs could be gone within the next five years, causing a spike in U.S. unemployment rates. He repeated that in a recent essay when he asked if the world was…
There’s something of a sea change underway in the global AI debate, and it’s taking place in the UK of all places. But not in a subtle way, by any stretch. Members of Parliament are finally pushing back on one of the tech industry’s most beloved pastimes: running AI algorithms on huge swaths of online content without much regard for who actually owns it.Their solution is simple, almost obvious. If an AI model is trained on someone’s content, they should probably have to pay for it.At the moment, a UK parliamentary committee is calling on the government to implement what…
Having trouble sleeping? Hit Snooze is Mashable’s deep dive into how we cope with our collective insomnia and the many ways we can achieve a more peaceful slumber.From the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. you can almost certainly count on Twitter to be an overwhelming hellscape.During that specific span of time (and a few hours afterwards) nearly everyone you follow is awake, logged on for the day, and ready to tweet into the void until the sun goes down. But when they log off or fall asleep, Twitter transforms into a completely different platform. After midnight the online…
Every SaaS company has a go-to-market strategy. Almost none of them have actually built one. Here is what the term really means, why it keeps failing, and what understanding your buyer has to do with any of it. Ask any SaaS founder what their go-to-market strategy is. You will get one of two answers. A confident recitation of channels, a launch plan, maybe a persona deck. Or a vague gesture toward growth that has been dressed up in GTM language to sound like it was intentional. Neither of those is a go-to-market strategy. GTM has become one of those terms…
