ConnectWise rotating code signing certificates over security concerns

ConnectWise is warning customers that it is rotating the digital code signing certificates used to sign ScreenConnect, ConnectWise Automate, and ConnectWise RMM executables over security concerns. Digital certificates are used to sign executables so those downloading the files know they come from a trusted source. This ensures that code has not been tampered with before it reaches the end user. According to ConnectWise, the decision was taken after a third-party security researcher raised conc

Microsoft fixes Windows Server auth issues caused by April updates

Microsoft has fixed a known issue causing authentication problems on Windows Server domain controllers after installing the April 2025 security updates. Platforms affected by these problems include Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, and the latest version, Windows Server 2025. However, as Microsoft further explained when it acknowledged this known issue in early May, home users are unlikely to be impacted since domain controllers are typically used in enterprise aut

Microsoft fixes unreachable Windows Server domain controllers

Microsoft has resolved a known issue that caused some Windows Server 2025 domain controllers to become unreachable after a restart and triggered app or service failures. As Redmond explained when it acknowledged the bug in April, servers loading the standard firewall profile instead of the domain firewall one after rebooting will have issues managing network traffic correctly. Because of this issue, services and applications running on impacted domain controller servers or remote devices may f

Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and Linux

Alexander Farnsworth/Getty Images Denmark's Minister of Digitalization, Caroline Stage, has announced that the Danish government will start moving away from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice. Why? It's not because open-source is better, although I would argue that it is, but because Denmark wants to claim "digital sovereignty." In the States, you probably haven't heard that phrase, but in the European Union, digital sovereignty is a big deal and getting bigger. A combination of security, economi

Patch your Windows PC now before bootkit malware takes it over - here's how

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Windows users who don't always install the updates rolled out by Microsoft each month for Patch Tuesday will want to install the ones for June. That's because the latest round of patches fixes a flaw that could allow an attacker to control your PC through bootkit malware. Designated as CVE-2025-3052, the Secure Boot bypass flaw is a serious one, according to Binarly security researcher Alex Matrosov, who discovered the vulnerability. In a Binarly blog post publishe

How I Program with Agents

How I program with Agents 2025-06-08 This is the second part of my ongoing self-education in how to adapt my programming experience to a world with computers that talk. The first part, How I program with LLMs, covered ways LLMs can be adapted into our existing tools (basically, autocomplete) and how careful prompting can replace traditional web search. Now I want to talk about the harder, and more rewarding act of using agents to program. Define Agent It is worthwhile starting with a definit

Show HN: Eyesite - experimental website combining computer vision and web design

I wanted Apple Vision Pros, but I don’t have $3,500 in my back pocket. So I made Apple Vision Pros at home. I was interested in making a project that combined computer vision with web design—a website that users could physically interact with. This inspired me to make Eyesite, because who needs a mouse when you have your eyes? Eye tracking Luckily, there is already a Javascript library for eye tracking called WebGazer.js. We can achieve decent eye tracking through calibration: Make the user

Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe – a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our universe emerged from something else – something more familiar and radical at the same time? In a new paper, published in Physical Review D, my colleagues and I propose a striking alternative. Our calculations suggest the Big Bang was not the start of everything, but rather the outcome of a gravit

Show HN: The Roman Industrial Revolution that could have been

NOTE: I’ve intentionally left some obvious mistakes, like the faces on page 20 of Issue #1, to keep the raw, experimental feel of the project. As explained in the "the making of" section, this comic book was created with the aid of an AI model. I review and adjust each image, sometimes editing by hand to fix things like missing characters, extra fingers, or elements that don’t belong. Then I add the dialogue boxes. I understand that newer model versions may produce better results; however, repl

These Are the Dogs Most Likely to Get Diarrhea

Speaking from personal experience; fewer things in the world are messier than a dog with the runs. New research out today reveals how often people will take their dog to the vet for a bout of diarrhea, as well as some potential factors that could raise a pup’s risk of it, such as their breed. Scientists at the Royal Veterinary College in the U.K. conducted the study, which examined the vet records of several million dogs. They estimated that one in every 12 dogs experiences diarrhea serious eno

FCC threat to revoke EchoStar spectrum licenses draws widespread backlash

The Federal Communications Commission is facing widespread criticism after threatening to revoke EchoStar licenses for spectrum bands that rival firms, including SpaceX, want to take over. Opposition to license revocations came from conservatives, telecom consumer advocates, and some industry groups. The Free State Foundation, a free-market group that has generally supported Republican priorities at the FCC, filed comments saying that "arbitrary" decisions would create instability in the market

All-wheel drive EVs at 210 mph? Formula E’s next car gets massive upgrade.

The governing body for world motorsport met in Macau yesterday. Among the jobs for the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile was to sign off on various calendars for next season, which is why there's now a clash between the F1 Monaco Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Le Mans and also between the Indy 500 and F1's annual visit to Canada. The Formula E calendar was also announced, although with a pair of blank TBCs in the middle, I'll hold off calling it finalized. The US round will now take pla

A warlord brings chaos in Foundation S3 trailer

Foundation returns for a third season next month on Apple TV+. Foundation, Apple TV+'s lavish adaptation (or re-mix, if you prefer) of Isaac Asimov's seminal sci-fi series, returns for its third season next month, and the streaming platform has dropped an official trailer to give us a taste of what's in store. As previously reported, the first season ended with a major time jump of 138 years, and S2 focused on the Second Crisis: imminent war between Empire and the Foundation, along with an ene

After RFK Jr. fires vaccine advisors, doctors brace for blitz on childhood shots

The medical community is bracing for attacks on, and the possible dismantling of, federal recommendations for safe, lifesaving childhood vaccinations after health secretary and fervent anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly fired all 17 members of a federal vaccine advisory committee Monday. Outrage has been swift after Kennedy announced the "clean sweep" of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory panel, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (A

New Apple study challenges whether AI models truly “reason” through problems

In early June, Apple researchers released a study suggesting that simulated reasoning (SR) models, such as OpenAI's o1 and o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, produce outputs consistent with pattern-matching from training data when faced with novel problems requiring systematic thinking. The researchers found similar results to a recent study by the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) in April, showing that these same models achieved low scores on novel mathematic

The UK Accelerates Its Self-Driving Car Ambitions

Slow and steady. When it comes to autonomous vehicles on city roads, that’s been the approach in most of the world’s countries. But on Tuesday, the UK announced it would put a cautious foot on the pedal, when the Department of Transport said it would accelerate plans to allow companies to operate self-driving cars on public roads in limited pilot programs starting spring of next year. The British government had initially planned to open up its roads for self-driving vehicles more than a year la

Senators Warn DOGE’s Social Security Administration Work Could Break Benefits

Democratic senators have concerns that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could break the Social Security Administration’s tech infrastructure. In a new letter addressed to SSA commissioner Frank Bisignano, senators Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden say that DOGE’s plans to “hastily upgrade” Social Security IT systems could disrupt the delivery of benefits or result in mass data losses. The warning comes after WIRED reported in March that DOGE officials were planning to rebui
