Microsoft brings Coreutils to Windows – natively

Microsoft has released Coreutils for Windows, allowing a stack of familiar “Linux-like” command-line utilities to run natively on Windows. The project is based on uutils, the Rust-based reimplementation of GNU coreutils that Ubuntu (mostly) has adopted in recent releases. Microsoft’s package bundles uutils’ coreutils and findutils as well as a GNU-compatible grep in a single binary. It offers tools like cat, cp, ls, mv and uptime. Commands that use POSIX-only features are excluded, meaning chmod, chown, kill and others aren’t included. What’s notable – *nix tools working their way into the Windows ecosystem is notable – is that this isn’t […]

German court rules Google is directly liable for false AI search overviews

A regional court in Munich has issued a landmark ruling declaring Google directly liable for the content generated by its AI search overviews. The court determined that these summaries are not merely search results but represent Google's own substantive statements and independent content. This distinction removes the legal protections typically granted to search engines that only point to third-party websites.
