Google and Samsung announced a mind-blowing automation feature at the Galaxy S26’s unveiling that simply sounded too good to be true. In short, Gemini could automatically order things for you, from an Uber or Lyft, to entire meals at places like McDonald’s and Starbucks. That feature just launched today, and there was no way I was waiting to try it.To test this out, I unlocked my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and asked Gemini to “order a tall Medicine Ball tea from the nearest Starbucks for pickup.” I specifically used “Medicine Ball” for the name to see if I could trip…

Ravie LakshmananMar 12, 2026Malware / Cybercrime Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new banking malware targeting Brazilian users that’s written in Rust, marking a significant departure from other known Delphi-based malware families associated with the Latin American cybercrime ecosystem. The malware, which is designed to infect Windows systems and was first discovered last month, has been codenamed VENON by Brazilian cybersecurity company ZenoX. What makes VENON notable is that it shares behaviors that are consistent with established banking trojans targeting the region, such as Grandoreiro, Mekotio, and Coyote, specifically when it comes to features like banking overlay logic, active…

“It’s a mixture of multiple models,” Omar told Network World. “The conversion and the core capability are not an LLM; it’s our own conditional model.” A standard LLM sits at the front end to parse user intent. The Terraform generation and cloud-to-cloud conversion work runs on custom foundation models trained on infrastructure patterns. The training data is entirely synthetic. FluidCloud generated its own Terraform configurations and used its own conversion technology to build the training corpus. “We have generated a lot of Terraform, and we use our own technology to generate more and more Terraform,” Omar said. “That’s what is…
Developers install external libraries with a single command, and that step can introduce more code than expected into a project environment. Dependency resolution inside package managers extends software supply chains across large collections of external components. ENISA’s Technical Advisory for Secure Use of Package Managers, released in March 2026, examines how this development practice expands exposure across software ecosystems. Package managers retrieve libraries from public repositories and integrate them into applications. Tools such as npm, pip and Maven allow teams to add functionality by installing prebuilt components. Applications inherit layers of dependencies that development teams did not write or review.…
EFF has long warned against age-gating the internet. Such mandates strike at the foundation of the free and open internet. They create unnecessary and unconstitutional barriers for adults and young people to access information and express themselves online. They hurt small and open-source developers. And none of the available age verification options are perfect in terms of protecting private information, providing access to everyone, and safely handling sensitive data. Last year, EFF raised concerns about A.B. 1043 as one of several bills in the California legislature that took the wrong approach to protecting young people online—by focusing on censorship rather than…
Google is leaving the door open to advertising in its Gemini AI app, with a senior executive telling WIRED the company is “not ruling them out” — a notable shift from the flat denials made just months ago. What’s changed: In January, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis told reporters at Davos that Google had no plans to put ads in Gemini. Now, SVP Nick Fox is saying otherwise — noting that learnings from ads in AI Mode will “likely carry over” to Gemini down the road. The current strategy. Rather than rushing into Gemini, Google is using AI Mode —…
If you’ve ever worked with vector graphics, you’ve probably considered getting an Illustrator subscription at some point, or already have one. It’s one of the industry standards and has been the go-to for hobbyists and professionals alike for any vector-related work for years now. I used to have a subscription myself, but then I eventually cut ties with Adobe, and started building a new editing stack comprising free and open-source graphics apps. Inkscape was the direct replacement for Illustrator, and you honestly can’t go wrong with it. It has most of the things Illustrator has, but it’s completely free and…
For years, the back-end of Blogging Wizard was a mess. And fixing it wasn’t fun. Not the content itself. I’m proud of every post we’ve published. Ok, well, most of them. But the way that content was organized was crap. I started this site in 2012. Back then, I wasn’t thinking about topical clusters and I didn’t see Google’s insane SiteFocusScore classifier coming. Nobody did. I was just thinking about getting my ideas out there. I set up a few basic categories, felt good about myself, and hit publish. But over the next decade, as the site grew and the…
A joint advisory says Iran-linked groups are targeting U.S. critical infrastructure using DDoS, phishing and other retaliatory techniques.
