Microsoft Patch Tuesday, July 2025 Edition

Microsoft today released updates to fix at least 137 security vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and supported software. None of the weaknesses addressed this month are known to be actively exploited, but 14 of the flaws earned Microsoft’s most-dire “critical” rating, meaning they could be exploited to seize control over vulnerable Windows PCs with little or no help from users. While not listed as critical, CVE-2025-49719 is a publicly disclosed information disclosure vulnerabilit

Nuclear Waste Reprocessing Gains Momentum in the U.S.

The United States’ 90,000-ton stockpile of radioactive nuclear waste has long been a liability, but researchers are increasingly eyeing it as a resource. New techniques in transforming spent fuel, new nuclear fuel cycle directives from the Trump administration, and the doling out of a Biden-era $40 million research program together aim to repurpose nuclear waste on a commercial scale.

With 20,000Pa Industrial-Grade Suction, This Eufy Robot Vacuum and Mop Hits a New Low on Amazon

Theory is that mop-capable robot vacuums are a great idea, but in application, the performance doesn’t nearly equal real cleaning ability. The majority of models leave dust, dirt or streaks behind which can be disheartening when you desire floors to be gleaming clean. That’s where the eufy E25 Omni robot vacuum and mop combo is good at: With industrial-grade suction power, it ensures your floors are left immaculate after every clean. Few brands offer anything close to the 20,000Pa of suction th

OpenAI is reportedly releasing an AI browser in the coming weeks

In Brief Hot on the heels of Perplexity’s Comet launch, OpenAI is planning to release an AI-powered web browser of its own to challenge Google Chrome, according to a report from Reuters on Wednesday.

As Waymo Debuts in Philadelphia, It May Want to Look Into the Time Furious Locals Tore Apart an Adorable Robot

The City of Brotherly Love is known for lots of things: cheesesteaks, the Liberty Bell, Paddy's Pub, and residents who don't take kindly to outsiders messing around in their business. Way back in 2015, Philadelphians' territorial nature briefly became national news when hitchBOT — a child-size hitchhiking robot that relied on the kindness of strangers and had already traversed several entire countries with their help — arrived in Philadelphia and quickly got decapitated by furious locals.

A cheaper Apple Vision is still a few years away

Last month, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo indicated that a cheaper model of Apple Vision Pro wasn’t due until late 2027. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now corroborated that timeline in a new report that says the device, codenamed N100, will be both “lighter and cheaper”. However, the device’s design has not yet been finalized. Work on the project is apparently expected to be finished in 2026, with a ramp up to a public launch in 2027.

OpenAI’s open language model is imminent
