The project is non-commercial, creative, and is created as part of the self-realisation of its author, who claims to know the Windows OS better than its developers. To be more precise, he understands the basics of OS operation perfectly well, so he can modify it in order to minimise resource consumption. Previously, he has already successfully compressed the system to 2 GB using the Tiny11 tool, installed the OS on a 4 GB USB stick (Live11) and ran it from the frame buffer of a GeForce RTX 3050 GPU.

At the request of customers and petrol station operators, a software update was released that was supposed to simplify the handling of accumulated bonuses. However, there was an error in the code, which the fraudster somehow found out about. If the bonus card was scanned twice, a “demo mode” was activated and the petrol station could dispense fuel without payment.
The investigation found that the female hacker exploited the vulnerability at least 510 times between November 2022 and June 2023. She stopped doing so exactly on the day a patch was released that fixed the vulnerability. In total, the woman received free fuel worth $27,000. She also transferred the card to third parties at least a dozen times so that they could also save on fuel.

The software was created for the Quest headset hardware. Once the software detects the floor of the room, the entire surface of the room is coloured green. Cameras and a controller track the movements of the hoover brush. During the cleaning process, the green colour disappears from the areas from which dust has already been collected.

Since neural networks and various AI application models are at the peak of popularity, solutions based on them are selling well. Therefore, manufacturers are trying to implement AI even in places where it has no place. The situation is aggravated by the fact that AI technology is still very raw, extremely resource-intensive and frankly unreliable. However, the same is said about the “smart home” – there are more than enough complaints about incorrect operation of various devices.
GE Appliances wants to add AI to the system that analyses the contents of the refrigerator and makes recipes based on it. And Miele has announced the creation of AI for cookers and ovens that will monitor the cooking process and give advice. Both systems will require video cameras in the appliances – essentially, they will constantly monitor this aspect of the user’s life. And, of course, transmit the collected data to the Internet.

Under pressure from EU and US regulators, Apple has been forced to agree to some relaxations in its own policy. In particular, retro games will now be available to App Store users, and audio streaming applications will be able to include active links to developers’ websites. Retro game emulators can already be placed on the App Store with worldwide downloads.

But iPhone owners may be disappointed when they don’t see the retro “toys” available on the Android platform in the shop. The thing is that Apple’s wording is very vague. Emulators of classic games run in files with ROM extension – there are quite a number of such file types in the world. Most likely, Apple will only allow games that are owned by specific companies to run. And free-to-play games, as well as games owned by owners who no longer exist, will be banned.
