Microsoft's Remote Desktop update has a bug preventing security warnings from displaying correctly for some users.
The Copilot app cannot be removed arbitrarily. Three cumulative conditions apply: Microsoft 365 Copilot must also be installed on the device, the Copilot app must not have been installed by the user themselves, and the app must not have been launched in the past 28 days.
Red Hat OpenShift on Google Cloud Dedicated is designed to address several key pillars of digital sovereignty: data residency, technological autonomy, and supply chain resilience. With isolated infrastructure, it must comply with regulations such as the GDPR and regional sovereignty rules.
When I started working at Square, Jack Dorsey was running the company off of an iPad. And so, I immediately converted in September of 2010, and haven't looked back. Everything I do in my life is either done from my phone, my watch, or my iPad.
Blackbox Hosting has consolidated storage from two full racks down to just 8U of rack space following migration to Everpure FlashArray hardware, achieving a 10:1 data reduction ratio and an 85% reduction in power utilization.
AI Armor provides dynamic runtime security and relies on a central policy engine in the Universal Management Suite (UMS) to meet compliance requirements, ensuring that organizations can manage their security effectively.
"For healthcare, government, and contact center environments, reducing risk at the endpoint is essential. By aligning IGEL's immutable endpoint OS and Adaptive Secure Desktop™ with Windows 365 and Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop, these reference architectures give organizations clear guidance for delivering secured and resilient digital workspaces."
The foundation for modernization rests on a consistent environment that can host virtual machines and cloud native applications side by side. Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenStack Platform together create a unified telco cloud that supports high throughput network functions and the container platforms used by modern application teams.
Nested virtualization involves running a hypervisor inside another hypervisor. It is not an entirely bonkers idea because it offers the chance to create a test or simulation environment for the collection of linked VMs that makes up many enterprise IT setups. The technique can also be useful in production for containerised workloads, which often see tools like Kubernetes and Docker run in a VM, and every container running in its own VM.
Ring the bells, sound the trumpet, the Linux 6.19 kernel has arrived. Linus Torvalds announced that "6.19 is out as expected -- just as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today, watching the latest batch of televised commercials." Because while the big news in Linux circles might be a new Linux release, Torvalds recognizes that for many people, the "big news [was] some random sporting event." American football, what can you do?
CloudBolt's survey also examined how respondents are migrating workloads off of VMware. Currently, 36 percent of participants said they migrated 1-24 percent of their environment off of VMware. Another 32 percent said that they have migrated 25-49 percent; 10 percent said that they've migrated 50-74 percent of workloads; and 2 percent have migrated 75 percent or more of workloads. Five percent of respondents said that they have not migrated from VMware at all.
A North American manufacturer spent most of 2024 and early 2025 doing what many innovative enterprises did: aggressively standardizing on the public cloud by using data lakes, analytics, CI/CD, and even a good chunk of ERP integration. The board liked the narrative because it sounded like simplification, and simplification sounded like savings. Then generative AI arrived, not as a lab toy but as a mandate. "Put copilots everywhere," leadership said. "Start with maintenance, then procurement, then the call center, then engineering change orders."
Red Hat AI Enterprise provides a foundation for modern AI workloads, including AI life-cycle management, high-performance inference at scale, agentic AI innovation, integrated observability and performance modeling, and trustworthy AI and continuous evaluation. Tools are provided for dynamic resource scaling, monitoring, and security.
Retail point-of-sale systems today offer a wide range of options for peripherals and hardware. Their technical specifications play a major role in selection, and big retailers often choose multiple vendors to reduce a single point of failure. This gives them an advantage to negotiate price or support as well. Technically, these peripherals also require updating with new models and may have new feature sets. This necessitates the redevelopment of point-of-sale applications, increasing development costs.
I recently wrote about my migration away from VirtualBox to KVM/Virt-Machine for my virtual machine needs. I've found those tools to be far superior (albeit with a bit more of a learning curve) than VirtualBox. Since then, however, I've found another method of working with KVM (the Linux kernel virtual machine technology), one that not only allows me to create and manage virtual machines on my local computer, but also from any machine on my LAN. That tool is Cockpit, which makes managing your Linux machines considerably easier.
I've had several incarnations of the self-hosted home lab for decades. At one point, I had a small server farm of various machines that were either too old to serve as desktops or that people simply no longer wanted. I'd grab those machines, install Linux on them, and use them for various server purposes. Here are two questions you should ask yourself:
