Arm desktop: emulation

This post is part 5 of the "Let me try to use an AArch64 system as a desktop" series: Whenever people use a non-x86 system, sooner or later someone asks: “But can it run [name of x86-64 only binary]?”. So, let’s check how to make it possible. Software stack When you look for ‘how to run x86-64 apps on Fedora/Arm’, you usually end up with Asahi’s documentation about it. It is a good thing to read to understand the stack. But if your Arm system runs a 4K page size kernel, then most of that doc

FCC Democrat: Trump admin is declaring “Mission Accomplished” on broadband

The Federal Communications Commission is hamstringing its upcoming review of broadband availability by ignoring the prices consumers must pay for Internet service, FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez said in a statement yesterday. "Some point to existing law to argue that availability is the only metric Congress allows to measure broadband deployment success. But the law does not require this agency to view broadband availability with one eye closed and the other one half-open," said Gomez, the only De

How to use Instagram Map and set your location-sharing preferences

This week, Instagram introduced a new Snap Map-like feature called Instagram Map that lets U.S. users share their most recent active location with others and discover location-based content. If you decide to turn on your location on Instagram Map, your location only updates when you open the app or have it running in the background, meaning it doesn’t provide continuous, real-time location updates. This is different from Snap Map, which lets users choose whether their location is updated only w

California jury rules Meta violated privacy law in case involving period-tracking app

A California jury ruled against Meta in a privacy-related lawsuit involving the alleged collection of sensitive data from Flo, a period-tracking app. The jury ruled that the plaintiffs proved that Meta violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act, according to a verdict form filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for Northern District of California. The ruling stems from a class-action lawsuit dating back to 2021 against the health-tech company Flo Health and other businesses like Meta, Go

Zero-day flaws in authentication, identity, authorization in HashiCorp Vault

Introduction: when the trust model can’t be trusted Secrets vaults are the backbone of digital infrastructure. They store the credentials, tokens, and certificates that govern access to systems, services, APIs, and data. They’re not just a part of the trust model, they are the trust model. In other words, if your vault is compromised, your infrastructure is already lost. Driven by the understanding that vaults are high-value targets for attackers, our research team at Cyata set out to conduct

Encryption made for police and military radios may be easily cracked

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, and military forces around the world–that made any communication secured with the algorithm vulnerable to eavesdropping. When the researchers publicly disclosed the issue in 2023, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), which developed the algorithm, advised anyone using it for

iOS 26 beta adds surprise Apple Maps feature that could prove very useful

Apple Maps has some compelling new features in iOS 26, but it seems there’s even more coming, as the beta now supports a powerful new feature that Apple never announced: natural language search with Apple Intelligence. Apple Maps gains AI-powered natural language search in iOS 26 Early last month, iOS 26 beta code revealed that Apple was working on adding natural language search to Maps. However, code leaks regularly expose features in development that may not ever ship. In this case though,

Adam Mosseri says 'people are confused' about how the Instagram map works

Yesterday, Meta introduced a new map feature that's almost identical to Snapchat's Snap Map. The feature has quickly sparked a backlash, though, and not just because it's yet another example of Instagram ripping off a Snapchat feature. While the map requires users to opt-in to share their location, many users were surprised and alarmed to see that their Instagram map was already populated with the locations of some accounts when it launched. That's because the map automatically pulls in locatio

Gemini CLI GitHub Actions

In June, we launched Gemini CLI, an open-source AI agent that brings the power of Gemini to your terminal. The enthusiastic adoption from developers has been incredible. To keep up with the flood of feature requests and contributions, we put our own tool to the test — using Gemini CLI to automate issue triage and pull request reviews. When community members noticed our new workflows, they asked us to share what we’ve built. Today, we’re introducing Gemini CLI GitHub Actions. It’s a no-cost, pow

IPO hopeful Brex scored major win to sell in the EU, plans UK expansion

Financial services provider Brex on Thursday announced that it achieved a major milestone: it is now licensed in the European Union. That means it can now directly issue credit and debit cards and offer its spend management products to any business in all 30 EU countries with “no workarounds required,” as co-founder and CEO Pedro Franceschi wrote in a blog post. While the corporate spend management startup previously supported 60 currencies in 200 countries, it could only sell its products to c

iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 public beta 2 now available

Apple kicked off the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 public beta just in the nick of time last month.

Microsoft has ended 'active development' on Contraband

The upheaval continues for gaming at Microsoft. The latest victim appears to be Contraband, a planned release from Avalanche Studios with Xbox Game Studios as publisher. The co-op open-world game from the studio behind the entertaining Just Cause series was teased in a brief, mostly atmospheric trailer at E3 2021. But very little had been heard since about the project, and it seems the axe is currently hanging pretty precariously above Contraband. "Active development has now stopped while we ev

2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S: A different approach to a luxury sedan

REIDEN, Germany—There is a lot to be said for testing a car on the roads it was developed on. A Kei car, for example, makes more sense in downtown Tokyo than on one of Nashville's arterial highways, surrounded by construction trucks. Likewise the German supersedans. For decades, an arms race has been conducted between rival engineers in Munich, Ingolstadt, Stuttgart, and Zuffenhausen, each trying to best the others and build the ultimate four-door, four-wheel Autobahn crusher, fit for the fattes

iOS 26’s Notes app adds a clever new way to use its many tools

Apple Notes gets more powerful every year, and iOS 26 adds its own batch of new features. With new capabilities comes the threat of feature bloat, but Notes has a clever solution that makes its ever-growing set of tools more easily accessible in iOS 26. iOS 26 gives Apple Notes an ‘adaptive toolbar’ Notes was once an extremely simple iPhone app. Features were minimal, as Apple prioritized just making it a quick place to jot down notes. But at some point, the company started aggressively build

PS5 sales have passed the 80 million mark

The PS5 might be lacking the cadence of first-party exclusives that made its predecessor so successful, but that doesn’t appear to be slowing it down. Sony has announced that the console had shifted just north of 80 million units as of June 30, 2025. This puts it just behind the Xbox 360 (84 million) and well on the way to overtaking the PS3 (around 87 million) in lifetime sales. The 80.3 million figure was confirmed in Sony’s first set of quarterly results for the current financial year, durin

Instagram adds a new friends map feature that sure looks a lot like the Snap Map

Instagram just announced an update with some long-requested features. The most notable is the introduction of a location-sharing tool for friends, though the long-awaited reposting tool is nothing ot sneeze at, either. Once opted into, the map shares a user's last active location with chosen contacts. The location sharing feature is turned off until selected and there are numerous customization controls. For instance, Instagram users can choose to share location data with all friends, Close Fri

Wave of 150 crypto-draining extensions hits Firefox add-on store

A malicious campaign dubbed 'GreedyBear' has snuck onto the Mozilla add-ons store, targeting Firefox users with 150 malicious extensions and stealing an estimated $1,000,000 from unsuspecting victims. The campaign, discovered and documented by Koi Security, impersonates cryptocurrency wallet extensions from well-known platforms such as MetaMask, TronLink, and Rabby. These extensions are uploaded in a benign form initially, to be accepted by Firefox, and accumulate fake positive reviews. At a

NASA Told to Overhaul Its Plans to Replace the International Space Station

For nearly 30 years, the International Space Station has played orbital home for astronauts from all over the world, but its time is running out. Slated to retire in 2030, NASA is aiming to replace it with a privately-run station that can host its astronauts in space when needed. And now under pressure to get a new station up and running fast and within a slashed budget, NASA’s current head—U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—is completely overhauling the agency’s plans to replace the ISS.

Amazon's cloud business giving federal agencies up to $1 billion in discounts

Attendees walk through an exposition hall at AWS re:Invent, a conference hosted by Amazon Web Services, in Las Vegas on Dec. 3, 2024.
