"The European Union is tightening its visa rules for Russian nationals amid concern over what the bloc considers "sabotage and potential misuse of visas." Multiple-entry visas will no longer be issued, with applicants being required to apply for a new visa each time they sought to travel to the EU. In a statement released by the European Commission, they expressed the aim of the new rules were to protect public policy as well as security."

It's amazing to see how quickly web developers have adopted artificial intelligence (AI) apps. Many have added this technology to their workflow and haven't looked back. There are pros and cons to this seismic industry shift. On the bright side, AI speeds up the development process. We don't have to spend hours poring over WordPress documentation. Instead, we explain our coding needs in plain language. AI helps us build new things from scratch and troubleshoot existing code.

At 9.30am, when visitors were already streaming into the museum's galleries, two masked thieves used a goods lift on a truck parked on the riverbank side of the building to reach a balcony on the first floor. Using two grinders, which they also reportedly threatened museum employees with, the thieves cut through a glazed window leading to the Apollo Gallery of decorative art, smashed two cabinets displaying 19th century royal and imperial jewellery and grabbed ten items, before escaping back down the ladder and fleeing with two accomplices on TMax scooters.

Sidero Labs has been developing Talos Linux, an immutable operating system purpose-built exclusively for running Kubernetes, alongside Omni, a cluster lifecycle management platform. InfoQ met the Sidero team in Amsterdam during the TalosCon 2025 and had conversations about their approach to simplifying Kubernetes operations through minimalism and security-first design. The concept for Talos emerged from practical frustrations with traditional operating systems in enterprise environments.

What is software? "Software" is actually quite a broad term, spanning everything from low-level firmware running on devices; operating systems; command-line tools that only developers use; compiled code that runs on its own; interpreted code that needs some other piece of software - or even an entire other application like a web browser! - to run it. Software takes many, many forms, and is created and executed in many different ways for many different purposes.

"The MSPs that are going to stand out in the future are certainly going to be the MSPs that simplify the complex,"

According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, AgentKit is a visual tool for quickly building AI agents. "AgentKit is a complete set of building blocks available in the OpenAI platform designed to help you take agents from prototype to production. It is everything you need to build, deploy, and optimize agent workflows." He further states that AI is becoming increasingly capable, from a system you can ask anything to a system that can do everything for you. According to Altman, there is a lot of talk about AI agents, but they remain underutilized. He wants to solve that with AgentKit.

I'm where I am today because I stand on the shoulders of those who came before me, and I strongly believe in paying it forward. A good mentor listens, provides honest feedback, and helps you see opportunities beyond your current path. In security, mentorship is especially vital because so much of the profession is shaped by experience, judgment and context.

A new firmware update--Version: 25.06-12.02.00--for the PlayStation 5 console has gone live, and unsurprisingly, it doesn't do much. What this new update does is improve the security on your device, but don't expect to see any new major features added to your PS5 once it has been installed. "We've made some security fixes to the system software," reads the very succinct update notes.

While iOS 26.0.1 includes several bug fixes and security updates, Apple highlights five of the most important changes in its notes. Firstly, an issue that saw Wi-Fi and Bluetooth occasionally disconnecting on iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and the iPhone 17 Pro models has been fixed. Next, the small number of iPhone users who were unable to reach a cellular network after updating to iOS 26 should now been able to connect.

Local law enforcement, along with the Secret Service, approached someone they said looked suspicious. And at that time, he told them that he was a member of law enforcement. He was armed. They continued to interview him, determined that he was not a member of law enforcement. He was taken into custody and remains in custody right now, Gray said.

As Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels made his way through the concourse of Capital One Arena following a Washington Capitals game in late April, he was forced to begrudgingly reach a conclusion about his status in the nation's capital that many had known for months: He was a big deal. On this day, the simple act of walking to the bathroom required the help of four to five security guards. There, a handful of fans tried to snap selfies with him.

Good morning. I was in Scottsdale yesterday, recording a podcast on site at Deloitte's Next Generation CEO Program, when news about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk began to trickle in. We had been talking about the challenge of being a public figure in business or politics these days, the need for visionary and visible leadership, when visibility can come at a price.

I started using Linux prior to the advent of sudo. Back then, any time I needed to run admin tasks, I had to first su to the root user, run the task, and then exit the root user. Because root was enabled, some users would simply log in as root and forgo a standard user account altogether. That's a security risk no one should take.

Running a business on outdated tech can slow everything down-from juggling spreadsheets to handling client presentations. But before you shell out for new machines, here's a smarter move: upgrade to Microsoft Windows 11 Pro for just $12.97 (MSRP: $199). This operating system upgrade can breathe new life into your existing hardware, while providing access to the latest tools designed for modern work.

Back in the mid-2000s, web browsers were struggling to keep up with the modern web. Google's founders saw the browser as critical ("our entire business is people using a browser to access us and the Web" as CEO Eric Schmidt recalled[2]), yet the incumbents weren't architected for rich web apps. In 2006, a small team of ex-Firefox engineers at Google - led by Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher - started sketching ideas for a new browser built for the "cloud era."

Redis Enterprise 7.2 comes to its official end of life in February 2026, so what should users do in this situation and what lessons can they take away for the end-of-life management experiences that they will inevitably experience with other platform and tools? Redis is good, but when a version update drives users into an alleyway, what should they do? As an open source, in-memory data store known for its ability to act as a distributed cache, message broker and database, Redis is lauded for its high-performance, low-latency read/write speeds achieved through memory data storage. Come February next year, Redis software application developers, data science professionals and other connected operations staff will need to have been doing some prudent planning.
