Microsoft surprises MS-DOS fans with remake of ancient text editor that works on Linux

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-20 01:23:35

Last month, Microsoft released a modern remake of its classic MS-DOS Editor, bringing back a piece of computing history that first appeared in MS-DOS 5.0 back in 1991. The new open source tool, built with Rust and simply called "Edit," works on Windows, macOS, and—in a twist that would have seemed unlikely three decades ago—Linux. The cross-platform availability has delighted longtime users who never expected to see Microsoft's text editor running on their preferred operating system. "30 years

Microsoft Is Ditching Passwords for Passkeys: How to Switch Before the August Deadline

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-20 04:00:00

Did you know there's a safer alternative to passwords? Some companies are implementing passkeys, which essentially use your biometric data, like fingerprint or facial recognition to log into your account as the first step. Passkeys can cut out risky password habits that 49% of US adults have, according to a recent CNET survey. Using the same password for multiple accounts and even using personal information, like your name, as a part of your password can lead to hackers guessing it or your pass

Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds meet for the first time at tech titans' dinner

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-20 09:22:00

What just happened? Given that there was a time when Microsoft called Linux a "cancer," it's little surprise that the Redmond firm's co-founder and long-time boss Bill Gates had never met Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel. But that changed recently when the two attended a dinner, and it appears to have gone well. Microsoft chief technical officer Mark Russinovich posted evidence of the historic dinner in a LinkedIn post. Dave Cutler, the legendary programmer and lead architect of the

How to store Go pointers from assembly

2025-06-23 How to store Go pointers from assembly The standard Go toolchain comes with an assembler out of the box. Said assembler is highly idiosyncratic, using syntax inherited from Plan 9 and choosing its own names for platform-specific instructions and registers. But it’s great to have it readily available. More mundanely, Go comes with a garbage collector. This post explains how to make these two components play nice, if we want to manipulate Go pointers from our assembly. Preamble: Go’s

Since that penalty was announced, however, the company hasn’t announced any further changes to its App Store Guidelines to avoid further fines. A new report from the Financial Times today says that Apple is “locked in last-minute” negotiations with the European Commission about ways to ease its App Store anti-steering provisions.
