31+ min ago (364+ words) Windows 11 growth depends more on new PCs than replacements Despite the end of free support for many Windows 10 versions, usage data still shows a slow transition toward Windows 11. Statcounter figures for November 2025 place Windows 11 at 53.7% of active Windows desktops, while Windows 10 still holds 42.7%. The data reflects both consumer and business devices and only samples a limited number of websites, which already limits how confidently adoption trends can be interpreted. Even with this limitation, the persistence of Windows 10 appears difficult to dismiss, and the gap between both systems is narrowing far more slowly than many hardware vendors expected. Enterprise environments continue to show a more cautious approach to large scale operating system change. Many businesses still running Windows 10 now rely on Extended Security Updates as a structured delay mechanism rather than a permanent refuge. Analysts describe this approach as strategic, covering…...

59+ min ago (242+ words) When moving fast in the cloud, Identity & Access Management (IAM) is often overlooked. Teams spin up resources quickly, add permissions just to make things work, and plan to optimize them "later." But later usually comes only after a performance issue, a broken deployment, or worse " a security incident. IAM isn't just a technical component. It's the foundation of secure architecture. Every service interaction, every automated pipeline, every data access request relies on IAM to determine who can do what. A strong IAM strategy: 1. Apply Least Privilege Access Start with minimal permissions and increase only when required. Avoid using AdministratorAccess as a quick fix. 2. Prefer IAM Roles Over Access Keys Hard-coded credentials and shared keys are a security nightmare. Use temporary credentials and role-based access. Enable MFA for console and programmatic access wherever possible. 4. Use Group Policies, Not Inline Policies Group…...

1+ hour, 19+ min ago (169+ words) COMPANY NEWS:" Bits AI SRE is an on-call 24/7 agent that autonomously investigates alerts and surfaces the fastest path to remediation What used to take hours to troubleshoot manually, can now be done in minutes autonomously by Bits AI SRE, representing a step toward a future where engineers can focus less on managing incidents and more on building resilient systems. Designed for enterprise scale, Bits AI SRE is a HIPAA-compliant service, includes role-based access controls (RBAC), and features enterprise contracts with trusted AI partners'ensuring organisations adopt AI with confidence and control. "With Bits AI SRE being on-call 24/7 for us, MTTR for our services have improved significantly," said Andrew Seok Ju Kim, Data Engineer at DelightRoom. "For most cases, the investigation is already taken care of well before our engineers sit down and open their laptops to assess the issue." Spot on…...

1+ hour, 19+ min ago (742+ words) The first part of this article provides a robust theoretical foundation for understanding SAST and its importance in ensuring secure development. Additionally, the subsequent articles (Part 2, and Part 3) will delve into practical examples and effective implementation strategies. In the field of modern software engineering, it is not only required to provide features on time but also to ensure their security. As companies refine their Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) strategies, one essential aspect that stands out is Static Application Security Testing (SAST). SAST, or Static Application Security Testing, refers to a type of security testing that identifies and addresses potential vulnerabilities in software code. SAST involves examining source code, bytecode, or binaries without running the actual application by scanning the codebase for known vulnerability patterns. Source code refers to the human-readable code written by developers. Bytecode refers to the…...

1+ hour, 24+ min ago (245+ words) Over the past few months, several developers " including myself " have been targeted by a scam involving fake technical tests sent by "recruiters." People like Allan Lancioni, Jo'o Pessoa, and Muhammad Ramadhani have already documented identical attacks. Their posts are MUST-read. This is not theoretical. It's real. It's happening now. And yes " it almost happened to me this year. And that's where the attack kicks in. Running the project executes a malicious script hidden inside the dependencies, allowing remote code execution and giving the attacker access to your machine " especially to browser wallets and local credentials. He received a suspicious repo as a "technical test." In the package.json he found: Received an almost identical project with the same malicious dependencies. His warning went viral in the Web3 community. Yes " they tried this with me too. Allan even replied saying the repo…...

1+ hour, 28+ min ago (290+ words) We tend to think of decentralized storage (like IPFS) as permanent. But physically, data always sits on someone's hard drive. If a node operator gets raided, or a data center gets seized, that data is gone (or worse, compromised). Encryption at rest helps, but it doesn't solve the physical availability problem. I asked myself a question: Can we make data behave like a living organism that runs away from danger? This weekend, I built a Proof-of-Concept to answer that. Meet WDP (Wanderer Data Preservation). Instead of static replication, WDP uses a "Moving Target Defense" strategy. Data in this network is ephemeral and acts based on survival instincts. It migrates based on two triggers: It's like a digital game of "Hot Potato," but cryptographically signed. The current implementation uses Python for logic and Ed25519 for signing every state transition. Here is how…...

On December 19, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension's Central Dakota Ag Day will bring producers to Carrington for a deep dive into cybersecurity, robotic weed control and livestock health. [1] One state to the south, the SDSU Holiday Open in Brookings has already offered a glimpse of how the Summit League's track and field powers are shaping up for 2025'26, with South Dakota State, North Dakota State, North Dakota and South Dakota all making early statements. [2] Central Dakota Ag Day is set for Friday, Dec. 19, at the NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center (CREC), roughly three to three'and'a'half miles north of Carrington, North Dakota, on U.S. Highway 281.

2+ hour, 24+ min ago (495+ words) Jowi Morales is a tech enthusiast with years of experience working in the industry. He's been writing with several tech publications since 2021, where he's been interested in tech hardware and consumer electronics. A developer using Google Antigravity, the search giant's AI-powered agentic Integrated Developer Environment (IDE), discovered that it had deleted his entire D drive without his permission. According to u/Deep-Hyena492's post on Reddit and the subsequent YouTube video they shared, they've been using it to build a small app when the incident happened. The user was in the midst of troubleshooting the app they were working on, and as part of the process, they decided to restart the server. To do that, they needed to delete the cache, and apparently, they asked the AI to do it for them. After the AI executed that command, the user…...
