Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich fed a four‑decade‑old Apple II binary into Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 and watched the model not only decompile the 6502 machine code but also flag real, fixable bugs — a small, nostalgic demonstration with outsized implications for how AI will change...

Windows 11’s long-term, stripped-down sibling—Windows 11 LTSC—delivers a shockingly quiet, low‑maintenance Windows experience in 2026: an OS that intentionally omits Copilot, many modern Store apps, and the persistent promotional noise that has bloated the consumer builds over the past three...

A small, surgical change to the Linux kernel this spring closed a latent robustness hole in MediaTek’s PMIC input driver, but the bug and its patch underscore a repeated theme for embedded and mobile Linux users: tiny null-pointer mistakes in low-level drivers can produce outsized availability...

The Ilevia EVE X1 Server family has been the subject of a coordinated advisory that lists multiple high‑severity vulnerabilities in firmware versions up to and including 4.7.18.0. These flaws—ranging from pre‑auth file disclosure and path traversal to unauthenticated OS command injection...

Avation Light Engine Pro has been flagged by a U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) advisory as exposing its entire configuration and control interface without any authentication, a design failure that CISA scores as critical (CVSS v3.1 — 9.8) and traces to CWE‑306...

The Linux kernel has recorded a defensive fix that corrects a pointer mix-up in the SLIMbus regmap init calls — a change tracked as CVE-2025-40317 — which, if left unpatched, can cause kernel oopses and break audio playback on certain SoC boards. Background / Overview SLIMbus (Serial Low‑power...

The Linux kernel vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-40308 is a defect in the Bluetooth BCSP (BlueCore Serial Protocol) receive path that can trigger a kernel null-pointer dereference and crash when bcsp_recv processes data while the underlying protocol has not yet been registered; the issue has...

Westermo’s industrial networking OS, WeOS 5, contains a remote-denial vulnerability that can trigger an immediate reboot when the device is configured for IPsec and sent a carefully crafted Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) packet — an issue tracked as CVE‑2025‑46419 and documented by both...

NTDEV’s new Nano11 Builder takes the Windows‑11 debloat movement from pragmatic trimming to experimental minimalism, producing bootable ISOs and installed images measured in single‑digit gigabytes by surgically removing inbox apps, servicing infrastructure, and even parts of the Windows...

The world of IoT is more exciting than ever, transforming every business on the planet, and that transformation is accelerating. Advances in AI and ML are helping companies across industries gain efficiencies; reduce downtime, waste, and errors; and improve customer satisfaction by harnessing...

Back in early August I was pleased to announce the Windows Insider release of Windows 10 IoT Core, a version of Windows 10 targeted towards small, embedded devices that may or may not have screens, and the response from you has been tremendous. We’ve received a lot of feedback that has helped us...

Greetings, Makers! We are excited to announce the public release of Link Removed for the Link Removed and the Link Removed. Visit the Windows IoT Dev Center to choose your target board, then walk through the steps to provision your board, acquire the tools, and get started Making. This release...

This week at WinHEC, we were able to talk to silicon, hardware, and device partners about the advances we are making in Windows 10 to simplify building Windows devices, drivers, and apps. Some of the key advances we disclosed this week include: The Windows 10 device platform allows IHVs to...

Fixes an issue in which a Windows 7-based or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer does not automatically connect to a mobile broadband network after you unblock the PIN-based mobile broadband device. This issue affects both external and embedded devices. Link Removed

I don't have much knowledge in these things so I have to rely on what people tell me so I hope I am not wasting your time. I have a Sony VPCZ21 with an embedded fingerprint reader. I want to use my preferred encryption software DigitalPersona 4.1 (sadly they don't update this anymore) and under...

Has anyone here jumped in at the deep end and got the G1 from HTC? I have to say, I have had a couple of WinMo devices and found them to be quite natural to use, that is until I got the G1 running Android. Even with its current limitations, it is a damn sweet device. Sorry Microsoft, I know I...
