Publicly released exploit code for an effectively unpatched vulnerability that gives root access to virtually all releases of Linux is setting off alarm bells as defenders scramble to ward off severe compromises inside data centers and on personal devices. The vulnerability and exploit code that exploits it were released Wednesday evening by researchers from security firm Theori, five weeks after privately disclosing it to the Linux kernel security team. The team patched the vulnerability in versions 7.0, 6.19.12, 6.18.12, 6.12.85, 6.6.137, 6.1.170, 5.15.204, and 5.10.254) but few of the Linux distributions had incorporated those fixes at the time the exploit…

Introduction The OnePlus Pad 4 is the newest premium Android tablet from the brand. It succeeds last year’s OnePlus Pad 3, and bears more than a passing resemblance. It is quite easy to describe the OnePlus Pad 4 as it is a relatively straightforward iterative update over the Pad 3. It would be easier to list the number of things that have changed, as the list is rather short. The new tablet upgrades to the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, has a 10% larger battery, and supports new bespoke accessories in the form of a keyboard cover and…

Servers operated by Ubuntu and its parent company Canonical were knocked offline on Thursday morning and have remained down ever since, a situation that’s preventing the OS provider from communicating normally following the botched disclosure of a major vulnerability. Attempts to connect to most Ubuntu and Canonical webpages and download OS updates from Ubuntu servers have consistently failed over the past 24 hours. Updates from mirror sites, however, have continued to work normally. A Canonical status page said: “Canonical’s web infrastructure is under a sustained, cross-border attack and we are working to address it.” Other than that, Ubuntu and Canonical…

Nvidia has laid a new brick in its AI empire. NVentures, its corporate VC fund, has backed Legora, reportedly its first legal AI investment. Leveraging AI to help lawyers streamline their work, the Swedish-born legal tech startup is competing with U.S. player Harvey. Alongside Atlassian and other new financial investors, NVentures joined Legora’s cap table as part of a $50 million Series D extension that comes a month after the startup’s $550 million Series D.  In the interval, this Y Combinator alum crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) — a milestone that contributed to its new $5.6 billion…

In Europe, the Honor 600 Pro is 43% more expensive than the vanilla model. However, in Malaysia, the upcharge is only 27% – and that makes a difference. The Pro was always the better phone between these two, the only question was whether its higher price was worth it. Memory Honor 600 Honor 600 Pro 12/256GB €650 - - MYR 3,100 12/512GB €700 MYR 2,600 €1,000 MYR 3,300 Based on last week’s poll, the answer is a resounding “yes”. Okay, the Honor 600 Pro is not the hottest new phone in town and…

Apple’s iPhone sales and Services revenue were the stars of the show in the tech giant’s most recent quarter, but the Mac quietly outperformed — helped by growing demand for AI workloads. Wall Street investors had expected to see Mac revenue in the low $8 billion range, but Apple reported $8.4 billion in the second quarter ended March 28 — a notable beat for a non-core segment of the tech giant’s business. In addition, investors ahead of earnings believed that Mac sales would be essentially flat year-over-year. Instead, Mac sales were up 6% on an annual basis, the company told…

After yet another modest upgrade, you might be wondering what would be the most sensible pick between the newly released Samsung Galaxy S26+ and the year-old Samsung Galaxy S25+. After all, it looks like the latter gets you a lot of the way there at a more reasonable starting price. But not everything becomes immediately apparent from the spec sheet alone. There are still some under-the-hood changes that need exploring. One example is the chipset. With the S26 series, Samsung is back to the dual-chip strategy for the majority of the markets, leaving places like Europe and South Korea with…

The organization behind the Academy Awards released new Oscar rules on Friday, including several that address the use of generative artificial intelligence. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said that only performances “credited in the film’s legal billing and demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” will be eligible for Academy Awards. Similarly, the academy said that screenplays must be “human-authored” to be eligible. The academy also said it has the right to request more information about a film’s AI usage and “human authorship.” These rule changes come as an independent film is in the works with an…
