A faulty update from cybersecurity provider CrowdStrike caused a global outage last Friday, apparently affecting some 8.5 million Windows devices, according to Microsoft itself<\/a>.<\/p>\n The update triggered a blue screen of death (BSOD), knocking offline systems used by hospitals, airlines, and banks. Only machines running Windows were affected \u2014 according to CrowdStrike, the total number of devices affected was \u201cless than one percent of all Windows machines.\u201d<\/p>\n The update \u201cwas designed to target newly observed, malicious named pipes being used by common C2 frameworks in cyberattacks,\u201d according to CrowdStrike. Unfortunately, it included a logic error, crashing the OS. In the blog post on Saturday, Microsoft\u2019s VP of enterprise and OS security, David Weston, wrote that the company is working with CrowdStrike to \u201cdevelop a scalable solution\u201d to fix the faulty update. Microsoft has also called for help from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).<\/p>\n Unfortunately, not everything is fixed quite yet \u2014 just ask Delta flyers<\/a> over the weekend.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mat Smith<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u200b\u200bYou can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox. <\/em>Subscribe right here!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n No one has been making foldable phones longer than Samsung. But the pace of innovation from the company has slowed while new challengers, like the OnePlus Open and Pixel Fold, have arrived. Now for 2024, Samsung has reinforced the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a stronger but significantly lighter frame, a new ultra-wide-angle camera and a bunch of AI-powered tools. It\u2019s better, sure, but it feels like complacency is eroding Samsung\u2019s foldable lead.<\/p>\n Read the full review.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Kunitsu-Gami<\/em> is a game of two halves: frenzied combat and peaceful base building. Demon enemies are often gross (intentionally!), filled with pus, and armed with claws. The game blends real-time combat with tower-defense mechanics, with all of it taking place in a zoomed-out third-person view. With so many samey action RPGs and Soulslikes, Kunitsu-Gami<\/em> takes a refreshingly different approach. Oh, and so much delicious-looking, hyper-detailed video game food.<\/p>\n Continue reading.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n NASA scientists say pure sulfur has been found on Mars for the first time after the Curiosity rover inadvertently uncovered a cluster of yellow crystals when it drove over a rock. And it looks like the area is filled with it. While minerals containing sulfur have been observed on the red planet, elemental sulfur has never been seen before. Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity\u2019s project scientist, said: \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be there, so now we have to explain it.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Rivian just opened its first EV charging rest stop, 24 miles outside Yosemite National Park.
