PCWorld reports a Windows 11 bug has blocked all updates since February for some users, creating serious security vulnerabilities and potential system issues. The problem stems from January's Preview Update and affects download timeouts, leaving systems without crucial monthly security patches and upcoming Secure Boot certificate updates. Microsoft recommends performing a Known-Issue Rollback (KIR) to revert the faulty update and restore normal update functionality. Problems with Windows updates are nothing new, but right now there's a seriously annoying bug that's affecting certain Windows 11 users--they haven't been getting any Windows updates for months. According to BleepingComputer, the issue started after installation of the January Preview Update. This means that those affected have not received a single Windows update since February, and that includes all the monthly security updates that should be keeping them safe. As if that weren't bad enough, we're also at a critical juncture just weeks before Secure Boot certificates expire on older Windows machines. Microsoft has been distributing updated certificates via Windows Update, which must be installed on PCs before June in order for Secure Boot to continue working as intended.

Why the world's banks are so worried about Anthropic's latest AI model The legendary American bank robber Willie Sutton spent 40 years robbing banks because, as he claimed in his autobiography, he loved doing it. And when asked why he chose banks of all places to rob, he allegedly replied "Because that's where the money is." Back in 2017, I wrote a book predicting it wasn't just lovable rogues like Sutton who would soon be robbing banks, but artificial intelligence (AI). That day, it appears, could now be about to arrive. Banks around the world are seriously worried cyber criminals will soon take advantage of the latest advances in AI to try to rob them.

The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai is a polished, high-end robot vacuum/mop best suited to homes with hard floors, pets, and everyday clutter.

Robot mops are usually better at maintaining clean floors than tackling truly dirty ones. They can wipe away light daily grime and keep hard floors looking presentable, but sticky spills and dried-on stains still expose the limits of "hands-free" cleaning.

Anthropic's Code with Claude showed off coding's future--whether you like it or not As tools like Claude Code get better, more and more developers are happy to hand off coding tasks to them. The way software gets built has changed for good. The vibes were strong at Code with Claude, Anthropic's two-day event for software developers in London that kicked off on May 19, the same day as Google's I/O in Palo Alto. "Who here has shipped a pull request in the last week that was completely written by Claude?" Jeremy Hadfield, an engineer at Anthropic, asked from the main stage. Almost half the people in the packed room--many sitting with laptops on their knees, coding or prompting as they watched the talks--raised their hands. Pull requests are fixes or updates to existing software that are submitted for review before they go live.
