I CANNOT believe the report: it proves that eMudhra is a clown show, and was never fit to be a CA:
The point of a HSM (hardware security module) is that the private key NEVER leaves it. Guess what eMudhra did: it turned off FIPS mode (WTF?!) and copied out the private key 😱
eMudhra's incident report is out! A Python script truncated their CA private keys to one byte?!

Apple: *makes a system of design components so apps look consistent*

“Hint of Lime” is an astonishingly dishonest name for a tortilla chip that tastes like it was manufactured during an industrial accident at a lime processing facility

Why would anyone trust Nvidia's "independent investigation" into Jensen Huang following news that the company apparently intervened to intimidate Commerce Dept. officials who were conducting their own inquiry? nytimes.com/2026/11/09/busin…

One shotted a way nicer WinUI 3 Regedit with Claude in ~1h that actually respects the original design and isn't just form over function. No idea wtf employees at Microsoft are smoking.
Here's your first look at Microsoft's new WinUI 3 Registry Editor, but it's a developer sample preview, so it may not ship on Windows 11 anytime soon.
Windows Latest found the app inside Microsoft's open-source Reactor repository, and I built it myself on Windows 11.
It keeps the familiar two-pane layout but replaces the cramped Windows 95-era interface with native WinUI 3 controls, a dark-mode-ready design, and smoother animations.
It can read, create, rename, and delete registry keys, edit values, and search the registry. It even uses Mica, with no Electron or WebView2 involved.
There are still unfinished features, and Microsoft hasn't announced plans to replace regedit.exe.
This is a developer sample made by Microsoft, not an official Windows 11 replacement.

Notice how they took a nice, relatively dense UI and made it sparse for no added benefit.

Apple is building an explicit-memory store for Siri AI. Memory records are queried via full-text (BM25) and vector search, then merged via RRF.
Siri’s chat recall in 27.2 uses the same search pipeline to find past chats.
Built on the Kuzu graph database Apple acquired.

"We submitted a ~100-page full report on our assessment to Anthropic. For the public version, Anthropic redacted a majority of the evidence we found most informative. As a consequence, the public must rely on our judgment more than we consider ideal." ☹️

Intel put so much pressure on us at Microsoft to use MMX instructions. First at the compiler level then "please just add some __asm to Office and Windows." It was dumb.
They used to explain how pasting an image into PowerPoint would be faster with MMX.
Linux is about to drop the last piece of code it carries for 1990s Pentium MMX chips.
MMX was Intel's 1997 instruction set for multimedia work, and SSE and later sets replaced it long ago. Eric Biggers of Google posted a three-patch series that removes the MMX versions of the software RAID XOR and RAID6 code. It deletes 837 lines.
In his words: "This was the only remaining MMX optimized code in the kernel." He also notes there are "zero MMX optimizations for anything else, like crypto or CRC, which left the RAID code as an outlier."
Pentium MMX and Pentium II machines keep working. They just fall back to the "well-tested scalar code."
The series is in Andrew Morton's mm tree and is expected in Linux 7.5 in 2027.
