Security called me at 6:12 AM today. "Patch every PHP server immediately." I asked what happened. "Two critical vulnerabilities. Remote code execution. No authentication required." Cool. How many PHP servers do we have? According to inventory: 12 According to reality: Nobody knows. We found one running WordPress. Three running old internal tools. One under someone's desk. Two inside vendor appliances. A forgotten employee directory from 2016. And a server named: PHP-OLD-DO-NOT-TOUCH Naturally, that one runs payroll exports. Then we found a PHP 5.6 box. I asked who owned it. The documentation said: BRIAN. Brian left in 2019. We called Brian. He said: "Oh wow, that's still running?" Excellent. By 8 AM, leadership joined the incident call. CEO: "Can hackers actually get in?" Security: "Potentially yes." CEO: "Without a password?" Security: "Yes." CEO: "Then why do WE need passwords?" Not the lesson. Finance asked if we could wait until the weekend to patch because downtime affects revenue. Security explained that the alternative was letting strangers execute code on our servers. Finance asked for a cost comparison. At 9:17, someone suggested temporarily taking the vulnerable websites offline. Marketing refused. "Our campaign is live." So for the next hour, the company officially decided maintaining a landing page for 20% off webinar registration was more important than preventing remote server takeover. We finally patched everything we could find. Then our scanner discovered another PHP server. Hostname: TEMP-PHP-2014 Uptime: 4,512 days. Nobody knows what it does. Nobody owns it. Nobody can shut it down. But every time we block network access, the warehouse stops printing shipping labels. Security has classified it as critical infrastructure. It is running PHP 5.4. The vulnerability has existed longer than half our employees. The emergency patch took four hours. Finding out what PHP actually runs took eleven. The internet isn't held together with code. It's held together with servers everyone is afraid to turn off.

Ich arbeite in einer deutschen Verwaltung und bin dort für den Bereich KI zuständig, soweit man das so nennen darf. Die Menge an Anweisungen und Regelungen, um überhaupt den kostenlosen ChatGPT-Account nutzen zu dürfen, ist so derbe, dass kein sinnvoller Einsatz von KI möglich ist außer „Schreib mir die E-Mail“. Ich höre ständig nur „Geht nicht“, „Dürfen wir nicht“, „Ich sehe nicht, wie man KI da nutzen kann“. Jetzt werden wieder Millionen an Steuergeldern rausgehauen, ohne dass wir eine ordentliche Richtlinie haben und uns dem Thema KI so öffnen, dass Bots und Agenten überhaupt möglich wären. Das Mindset fehlt für KI. Niemand hat einen Plan, wie KI eingesetzt werden kann. Es gibt Tausende Start-ups, die täglich anrufen und ihre 1000. Chatbot-Lösung andrehen wollen. Solange keine offenere Nutzung von KI möglich ist, brauchen wir nichts einzukaufen. 🤦🏻 Das Einzige, was der Staat kann, ist sinnlos Geld verbrennen, und die Firmen quetschen ihn sinngemäß aus – die Kuh wird gemolken, solange es geht. @JensenHuang hat recht, solange man jede Idee und Innovative Einsatzmöglichkeit durch Regulierungen im Keim erstickt bringen einen diese Millionen oder vielleicht sogar Milliarden Investitionen nichts. Aber letztendlich klopft sich der Staat selbst auf die Schulter, weil er hat ja was getan für KI, die Firmen schauen schon wie sie daraus Profit generieren können und die Zeche zahlt der Steuerzahler, ohne das es für ihn in absehbarer Zeit irgendwelche Verbesserungen geben wird, außer die nächste Steuererhöhung, weil irgendwo muss es ja herkommen. #deutschland #ki

Imagine celebrating that ChatGPT Search has become huge in Europe because it means you can finally regulate it. And no, this isn't a parody account from the EU Commission. They’re serious. ChatGPT Search now reaches 159 million monthly users in the EU. Europe has failed to build anything remotely comparable. So the European Commission proudly announces that ChatGPT is now large enough to face even more regulation. This image perfectly captures European AI policy. If any of you have ever read Franz Kafka’s *The Trial*: this goes far beyond that.

@WatcherGuru Or what you meant to say: Some of Spain‘s World Cup winnings and player bonuses will probably be subject to US federal and state taxes.

@MXHRHRV @alphaomegavan @Pirat_Nation Okay that does sound good after all

@alphaomegavan @Pirat_Nation This will be a recurring pattern: heavier devices, less battery capacity. I wonder how this will affect IP water resistant ratings. As an EU citizen, not once in recent years have I wanted to replace a battery in my devices - but I do get that there are many people that have.

Nintendo has announced updated versions of several Switch products for Europe to meet new EU rules requiring user-replaceable batteries. > Nintendo Switch 2 (Autumn 2026): Battery changes from 5,220mAh to 5,172mAh; console will be about 10g heavier. >Joy-Con 2 (Winter 2026): Same battery capacity, but each controller will be about 2g heavier. >Switch 2 Pro Controller (Winter 2026): Battery changes from 1,070mAh to 897mAh; controller will be around 7g lighter. >Updated versions of the original Joy-Con, Nintendo 64, and GameCube controllers are also coming with user-replaceable batteries.

This is one of the most important studies in sleep science. Van Dongen et al. ran the experiment that changed how we understand chronic sleep restriction. They had subjects sleep 4h, 6h, or 8h nightly for 14 days, testing cognitive performance every 2 hours. The 6h group’s reaction time deficits by day 14 matched subjects who had been awake for 24 hours straight. The 4h group? They performed like someone awake 48 hours. But here’s what makes this study terrifying. The Stanford Sleepiness Scale ratings in Panel B plateau after day 3-4. Subjects stopped feeling more tired even as their cognitive performance continued deteriorating through day 14. Your subjective experience of fatigue is a lagging indicator that eventually just… stops updating. This explains why chronic undersleeping feels sustainable. You’ve adapted to feeling tired. Your prefrontal cortex hasn’t adapted to being impaired. The PVT (Psychomotor Vigilance Task) in Panel A measures lapses in attention. These are the moments where you’re staring at a screen and your brain simply checks out for 500ms. Every additional day of 6h sleep adds more lapses. The curve never flattens. Panel C and D show working memory and processing speed. Same pattern: continuous degradation with no subjective awareness. The practical implications: If you’re sleeping 6h and think you’re functioning fine, you’ve lost the internal calibration to know you’re not. The subjects in this study would have told you they felt “okay” while performing like they’d pulled an all-nighter. For anyone doing cognitively demanding work, this means you cannot trust how you feel. You need to track objective markers: error rates, decision latency, problem-solving throughput. Sleep need is biological, not negotiable. Most adults require 7-9 hours, and the research shows no population-level adaptation to chronic restriction. “I only need 6 hours” is almost always “I’ve forgotten what baseline cognition feels like.“

Competitive gamers: 6h of sleep is a hidden nerf. 6h/night for 2 weeks → reaction time & attention decline to the equivalent of pulling MULTIPLE all-nighters. Worst part: subjective fatigue plateaus, so you stop noticing. If you're not getting 7+ hours/night, you're trolling.

10,4 Milliarden Euro. So viel hat die GEZ im Jahr 2025 von uns Beitragszahlern in Deutschland eingesammelt & ausgegeben Zum Vergleich: $NFLX gab in 2025 rund $18 Milliarden (umgerechnet ca. 15,4 Mrd. €) für Inhalte aus. Und zwar weltweit! Das steht in keinem Verhältnis mehr.

✨📶 L'Apple Watch va perdre la synchronisation Wi-Fi avec l'iPhone en Europe Apple va désactiver la synchronisation automatique des réseaux Wi-Fi entre l'iPhone et l'Apple Watch en Europe, à partir de la mise à jour iOS 26.2 (décembre). La raison : la Commission européenne exigeait qu'Apple ouvre ce lien de synchronisation aux accessoires tiers. Apple a refusé par souci de sécurité et de protection de la vie privée Donc, pour se conformer au DMA, Apple va désactiver la fonction pour tous en Europe.
