Microsoft has officially announced that Windows 11 is receiving a refreshed, modern Run dialog featuring dark mode support and improved speed in the latest preview build 26300.8346. The Run dialog has been a part of Windows since the Windows 95 days, and it remains a go-to tool for many advanced users on a daily basis. Simply press Win + R, type in a command, open a file path, launch an application, or navigate to a location instantly without needing to open File Explorer first. With this update, Microsoft aims to give Run a contemporary look while preserving its core functionality.…

pros and cons Pros Clean, well-built, and easy to carry.Backed by a large, active community of users and developers.Priced very affordably. Cons Can be challenging to learn at first.Not as powerful or versatile as the Raspberry Pi or Flipper Zero. Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.Bring up the idea of a computer small enough to fit in your pocket, and most people tend to react in one of two ways:They either say, “Oh, like a Raspberry Pi!” Or they respond, “Ah, more like a Flipper Zero!”Also: The Flipper One may be the ultimate Linux PC for…

Image by Editor # Introduction Let’s face it: the clean, textbook version of data science rarely holds up in practice. We learn methods using perfectly curated, normally distributed data, but real-world projects throw us curveballs — extreme outliers, heavily skewed distributions, and wildly uneven variances. In an earlier piece on building an exploratory data analysis (EDA) pipeline with Pingouin, we saw how statistical tests can flag when data breaks key assumptions like normality or homoscedasticity. But what happens when those tests come back failed? Discarding the data isn’t the answer — going robust is. This article walks you through the…

As cloud workloads grow more autonomous and AI systems process increasingly sensitive data, trust needs to be baked directly into the underlying infrastructure. Azure Integrated HSM embeds hardware-level key protection natively within Azure, stretching cryptographic trust from the chip itself all the way up to running services through a design that is both verifiable and transparent. Cloud workloads are becoming more autonomous, and AI systems are handling data that is more critical than ever. Because of this, trust must be woven into infrastructure at every level. At Microsoft, security is built into the very foundation of our cloud platform, starting…

In recent years, a range of innovative solutions have emerged that enable organizations to collaborate using their own data—and that of their partners—without unnecessarily exposing sensitive information. Technologies such as clean rooms, trusted research environments, and tokenization are paving the way for what’s known as collaborative intelligence. This approach recognizes a key limitation: relying solely on internal data often leads to incomplete or unrepresentative datasets.No single organization has access to all the data it needs. This creates a significant opportunity—especially in highly regulated sectors like life sciences and financial services—for institutions to work together. By diversifying datasets through partnerships, everyone…

I’ll paraphrase the article while keeping the HTML structure intact and maintaining the original language (English). Business email compromise (BEC) continues to flourish even within organizations that have rolled out multi-factor authentication (MFA). As security professionals, we tend to treat MFA as the ultimate solution for email protection, yet real-world breaches tell a different story. Attackers take advantage of human tendencies, procedural weaknesses, and operational gaps that MFA by itself simply cannot cover. In numerous contemporary BEC incidents, no account is actually compromised, which means these attacks fall entirely outside the scope of MFA defenses. In 2019, Toyota Boshoku Corporation…
