News and Updates:“Vibe coding” is redefining software development by letting AI handle most coding tasks — even architecture — through natural-language prompts. Tools like Windsurf, Replit, and Microsoft Copilot let pros and hobbyists alike generate entire apps, but the code still needs close review. Google recently acquired Windsurf’s CEO for $2.4B, highlighting AI’s growing role in dev workflows. The UK and 24 U.S. states now require age verification (via government ID or face scans) for access

News and Updates: The Republican-led FCC is moving to kill its 1Gbps broadband speed goal, arguing that such benchmarks unfairly disadvantage satellite and fixed wireless services like Starlink and T-Mobile Home Internet. Chair Brendan Carr says the current 100/25 Mbps standard is more "technologically neutral," though critics warn the move could hinder fiber rollout and inflate broadband availability stats. Microsoft Office 2024 is now available as a one-time $149 purchase with no feature updates,

2025/07/17

News and Updates:A Purdue University study found anti-phishing training may be worse than ineffective. Testing 12,000+ fintech employees, researchers saw no reduction in phishing link clicks — and in some cases, trained staff clicked slightly more often. Experts say companies should shift focus from costly training to technical defenses. TikTok is reportedly developing a new U.S.-only app, codenamed “M2,” to sidestep a pending federal ban. The replacement could debut in September as part of a sale

Statcounter data shows Windows 11 now holds 52%, after nearly four years and hardware requirement hurdles slowed its rollout

News and Updates: Brazil’s Supreme Court voted to hold social media companies liable for illegal user content, moving tech regulation closer to Europe’s model. Critics warn it may stifle free speech as platforms preemptively censor content. A New York judge ruled a wrongful death lawsuit against Meta and TikTok can proceed, finding it plausible their algorithms actively targeted dangerous “subway surfing” videos to a teen.
