Recently, I was walking a friend through the process of switching from Windows 11 to Linux, as he was increasingly hearing about the ecosystem from friends and had grown tired of Microsoft’s positioning of Windows in recent years. As I was walking him through the process, he showed me his ChatGPT history, already complete with an entire walkthrough of what distro he should choose, what applications would work, and how to make the switch. I became very curious: just how accurate are these instructions? Can someone actually completely make the switch without ever touching a search engine? To find out,…

Then, the product team decided to launch a site redesign without telling you. Now half your URLs are broken, the new templates strip out your structured data, and your boss is asking why organic traffic dropped 40%. Sound familiar? Here’s the thing: this isn’t an SEO failure, but a governance failure. It’s costing you nights and weekends trying to fix problems that should never have happened in the first place. This article covers why weak governance keeps…
The Google Pixel 10 Pro is a flagship phone, but don’t let that kid you into believing it’s just as powerful as its flagship-tier competition. The Pixel’s hardware simply isn’t the match of equivalent processors from Qualcomm, often struggling to beat two-year-old Snapdragon processors. For the latest models, Google even went as far as to justify it, claiming the Tensor G5 is optimized for AI, whatever that means. But I was content Like my colleague, Stephen Radochia, I believed the Pixel 10 Pro was just fine as it was. Until I tried to expand my boundaries — at which point…
Microsoft wants to introduce smartphone-style app permission prompts in Windows 11 to request user consent before apps can access sensitive resources such as files, cameras, and microphones. The “Windows Baseline Security Mode” and “User Transparency and Consent” changes represent a major shift for the operating system that now powers more than 1 billion devices. Windows Platform engineer Logan Iyer said that this new security model was prompted by applications increasingly overriding settings, installing unwanted software, or even modifying core Windows experiences without obtaining user consent. After the transparency and consent changes roll out, Windows will prompt for permission when apps…

A newly identified Linux botnet is relying on decade-and-a-half-old exploits and techniques, cybersecurity company Flare reports. Dubbed SSHStalker, the botnet uses multiple 2009-era tools and mechanics, including an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) bot and 19 Linux kernel exploits. According to Flare, the botnet is rather noisy, executing a cron job every minute for persistence and using a watchdog ‘update’ relaunch model, and deploying various scanners and malware on the infected machines. SSHStalker artifacts resemble known Romanian-linked botnet operations such as Outlaw and Dota, but no direct link to the legacy Linux campaigns was found, suggesting that a derivative operator, a…
