Hi r/msp, Just want to share a word of caution. I've observed several threads across r/Windows11 and r/sysadmin that are reporting that the latest Windows 11 security update (KB5063878) is linked to SSD failures/data corruption, particularly during large file operations (50GB+ transfers, large PST/OST files, etc.). Here are some of the relevant conversations: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1mst8au/windows_11s_latest_security_update_kb5063878_is/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows1

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Susan Monarez, was reportedly fired on Wednesday after she resisted changes to covid-19 vaccine policies, according to the Washington Post. But her lawyer says she hasn’t been officially notified of the termination, throwing a curveball into an already chaotic news cycle at the CDC. “When CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts, she chose protectin

I've been trying to use my iPhone as a portable gaming machine for years, but I often hit the same roadblocks when trying to have it replace my Nintendo Switch when I travel. And it's not for lack of Apple and other companies putting in the effort, as there are tons of games available for the iPhone, between titles that run directly from the device to more-intensive games that I can stream over a strong internet connection.

The personhood trap: How AI fakes human personality

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-10 14:00:57

Recently, a woman slowed down a line at the post office, waving her phone at the clerk. ChatGPT told her there's a "price match promise" on the USPS website. No such promise exists. But she trusted what the AI "knows" more than the postal worker—as if she'd consulted an oracle rather than a statistical text generator accommodating her wishes. This scene reveals a fundamental misunderstanding about AI chatbots. There is nothing inherently special, authoritative, or accurate about AI-generated ou

China Is Building a Brain-Computer Interface Industry

wired.com Emily Mullin 2025-12-10 12:00:00

In a policy document released this month, China has signaled its ambition to become a world leader in brain-computer interfaces, the same technology that Elon Musk’s Neuralink and other US startups are developing. Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, read and decode neural activity to translate it into commands. Because they provide a direct link between the brain and an external device, such as a computer or robotic arm, BCIs have tremendous potential as assistive devices for people with severe
