Ravie LakshmananFeb 09, 2026Vulnerability / Endpoint Security Microsoft has revealed that it observed a multi‑stage intrusion that involved the threat actors exploiting internet‑exposed SolarWinds Web Help Desk (WHD) instances to obtain initial access and move laterally across the organization’s network to other high-value assets. That said, the Microsoft Defender Security Research Team said it’s not clear whether the activity weaponized recently disclosed flaws (CVE-2025-40551, CVSS score: 9.8, and CVE-2025-40536, CVSS score: 8.1), or a previously patched vulnerability (CVE-2025-26399, CVSS score: 9.8). “Since the attacks occurred in December 2025 and on machines vulnerable to both the old and new set of…

Titled Love Letter From An Englishman, the bedtime audio story is narrated by Bailey and takes listeners into tropical waters on the H.M.S Dreamscape, where a sea captain has set sail “all in search of a rare and beautiful flower for his beloved”. Behold. Credit: Calm This is the second leading Bridgerton man to voice a Calm sleep story. The Duke of Hastings, AKA Regé-Jean Page, starred in his own last year, following the…
Back in 2021, Apple introduced a new feature with iOS 15 that uses your iPhone‘s motion sensors to measure how steady you are while walking. Called Walking Steadiness, it relies on custom algorithms to analyze balance, stability, and coordination, alerting users when their fall risk may be elevated. Apple now appears to be working on an improved version of the feature that could roll out later this year. Apple has been working on a Health app revamp for quite some time, with leaks from early last year pointing to the addition of an AI-powered health coach, codenamed Mulberry. Bloomberg previously…
The article offers a thoughtful critique of “vibe coding,” a term popularized by Andrej Karpathy, describing it as a fast but risky approach to software development in which AI generates code from natural-language prompts with minimal human review. It rightly emphasizes that while vibe coding accelerates prototyping and democratizes app development for non-experts, it often results in unmaintainable, insecure, or inefficient codebases that require traditional programming skills for long-term viability. Research and expert opinions suggest vibe coding is best suited for disposable or low-stakes projects, with evidence leaning toward the need for rigorous oversight to mitigate bugs and vulnerabilities. The…
Not your usual uncle job: These teens are barbers on the side Everyone has a go-to person for their hair, and for a growing clientele, the go-to person for their next fade is not a veteran, but 19-year-old Sujaish Kumar or 14-year-old Keanu Akbar.

A firm that wants to use a large language model (LLM) to summarize sales reports or triage customer inquiries can choose between hundreds of unique LLMs with dozens of model variations, each with slightly different performance.To narrow down the choice, companies often rely on LLM ranking platforms, which gather user feedback on model interactions to rank the latest LLMs based on how they perform on certain tasks.But MIT researchers found that a handful of user interactions can skew the results, leading someone to mistakenly believe one LLM is the ideal choice for a particular use case. Their study reveals that…
This winter’s 2026 hyperscale earnings prints from Meta Platforms Inc., Microsoft Corp,, Alphabet Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. made it quite clear that capital expenditures are accelerating. Combined, these four firms will spend more than $615 billion in capex this year, an increase of approximately 70% over what was already considered an inflated 2025. Despite strong fundamental artificial intelligence and general-purpose computing demand, this news caused significant concern for market watchers because the aggressive spending has murky payoffs. Coupled with the Anthropic PBC-infused software-as-a-service attack, investors took stocks down for most of the week, including Nvidia Corp. Confusingly, much of the capex spend is going…
Introduction What makes Vercel and Netlify central to web development in 2026? In the past decade, front‑end cloud platforms transformed how developers ship web applications. The Jamstack movement and modern frameworks like React and Next.js separated the backend from the frontend, turning complex deploys into a single Git push. Platforms like Netlify, launched in 2014, and Vercel, founded in 2015, popularized this concept by offering global CDNs, serverless functions and automatic builds. Today, millions of developers rely on them for hosting everything from personal blogs to production‑grade SaaS applications. Choosing between them is no longer about whether you can deploy;…
