Windows updates and inconvenient restarts have been uneasy roommates for decades. Microsoft is now trying to make them see much less of each other. Windows 11 hotpatching allows eligible business PCs to install certain monthly security updates without restarting. Combined with Microsoft’s newer effort to consolidate other Windows updates around a single monthly restart, the company is making a broader push to reduce one of the most disruptive parts of enterprise patch management. But hotpatching does not mean the end of the Windows reboot. For IT teams considering the feature, the more useful questions are how many restarts it can…
The conversation around storage modernization used to revolve around capacity. Today, the dialogue centers on the role of storage as a strategic requirement for AI readiness. This doesn’t mean that storage’s transformation is simple. Many organizations are seeking to build AI on top of storage architectures that were designed before the AI era. These legacy environments are marked by fragmented silos and aging systems that complicate delivery of AI initiatives. To resolve this dilemma, organizations are adopting storage infrastructure that can provide critical elements of performance, flexibility and efficiency, according to Allen Liu (pictured, right), senior product manager of architecture solutions…

Cerebras launched its CS-4 server system featuring dinner-plate-sized chips to accelerate AI chatbot responses. Cerebras Systems wants to control the instant answers generated by AI chatbots. Cerebras unveiled the CS-4, its newest server platform on Wednesday. The system packs three massive, dinner-plate-sized WSE-3 Turbo chips into a single rack. TSMC builds these giant processors on a 5-nanometer node- with the chips delivering an eye-popping 750 petaflops of AI compute power. Cerebras targets a crucial phase of AI: inference. It’s what drives live responses in chatbots. Inference demands immediate speed, while training complex models takes months. Cerebras claims the CS-4 generates…
Over the years, Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless earbuds have been among the best-sounding buds you can buy, but they’ve yet to truly combine that great sound with top-tier noise-canceling and voice-calling performance. That may be about to change with its new $300 Momentum True Wireless 5 buds, which ship on Sept. 3 in five color options. This fifth-generation model not only has a new external design but also upgraded components, including Bluetooth 6.0, an expanded microphone array (three mics in each earbud) with two bone-conduction voice accelerometers and replaceable batteries in both the buds and case, which supports wireless charging.…

I’ve been waiting for magnetic charging to stop being mostly an iPhone and Pixel party, and now, Motorola might be looking to join the club. Leaker Evan Blass has shared images of an unreleased Moto Snap magnetic wireless charger. The accessory is a slim circular charging puck with Motorola’s batwing logo, a braided cable, and a USB-C connector, giving it a very familiar MagSafe/Pixelsnap-style design. Motorola hasn’t announced the charger yet, and details such as pricing, charging output, and release date remain unknown. But it arrives just after the launch of the Motorola Edge 70 Max, which supports magnetic charging.…

Swati KhandelwalAug 19, 2026Cloud Security / Vulnerability Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a remote Spectre attack against Cloudflare Workers that leaked a JSON Web Token (JWT) from a co-located Worker in the production environment at up to 12 bits per second, 360 times the rate of an earlier attack demonstrated in 2021. The end-to-end experiment used an attacker Worker and a victim Worker controlled by the researchers, with the JWT intentionally placed in the victim’s memory. The research paper stated that no customer data was accessed. Cloudflare said the attack has already been mitigated in production after it improved Dynamic Process…
Elon Musk is expected to spend big to boost Republicans in the midterms this November, according to Trump officials briefed on the matter.The precise amount could change, but the officials expect Musk to spend around $100 million to $200 million with a focus on voter turnout in key races, including Texas, where the fate of Republican nominee Ken Paxton could determine which party controls the US Senate.The planned cash injection—or any in-kind contribution relating to voter turnout—would be a boon for Paxton, who has been vastly outraised in contributions.
