A new vulnerability in UEFI firmware is threatening the security of a wide range of Intel chip families in a similar fashion to BlackLotus and others like it. New hacks rise from the ashes
I like how they say they're not releasing proof of concept code, but they describe the attack with probably enough detail for hackers to use.

Don't worry - they've only eliminated the 'C' part. The 'Win' key will now do the job by itself.

Multiple AI companies are bypassing robots.txt instructions, according to Reuters. If they're ignoring the robots, maybe we should send the robots after them?
Weaksauce, sorry. It's Sunday and I don't feel like thinking today.

Oracle: Making Microsoft Access look like a valid database option since 1982. Or was that 1977 (even before Access came into existence)?
edit:
"With Access v2.0, Microsoft specified the minimum hardware requirements to be Microsoft Windows v3.1 with 4 MB of RAM required, 6 MB RAM recommended; 8 MB of available hard disk space required, 14 MB hard disk space recommended. The product shipped on seven 1.44 MB diskettes. The manual shows a 1994 copyright date." - Wikipedia
Wow! Even though I never worked with Access back then, those system specs bring back memories! And the disks! Oh my God, the disks!

And Oracle makes Microsoft’s business shenanigans seem clean and pure.
