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.

Anthropic launches Claude Managed Agents to simplify production AI deployment

Anthropic has introduced Claude Managed Agents, a suite of APIs designed to handle the infrastructure required for deploying production-grade AI agents. This service automates complex backend tasks such as session management, secure code execution, and scaling, which previously required significant manual development. By decoupling the reasoning engine from the execution environment, the platform allows agents to start processing tasks while sandboxed containers spin up in the background.

📰 Intel Arc Pro B70 Showing Off Some Performance Wins With Linux 7.1

After recently noticing the Intel Arc B580 performing better on Linux 7.1 for that kernel version soon to be released as stable, I was curious if there were performance gains also to be found with the new flagship Arc Pro B70 BMG-G31 workstation graphics card. Here are some benchmarks of the Intel Arc Pro B70 in relevant workloads between Linux 7.0 and the near-final Linux 7.1 kernel.

Asterinas 0.18

Опубликован выпуск Asterinas 0.18.0 — экспериментальной операционной системы и ядра, написанных на Rust и ориентированных на совместимость с Linux ABI. Проект позиционируется как попытка создать «production-grade» альтернативу Linux с упором на безопасность памяти, производительность и запуск обычного Linux-пользовательского окружения. Код Asterinas открыт и размещён на GitHub, основная лицензия проекта — MPL 2.0. Релиз Asterinas 0.18.0 был опубликован 4 июня 2026 года, а 9 июня на него обратил внимание Phoronix.
Главное направление выпуска — подготовка Asterinas к использованию в роли гостевой ОС для VM-based Kata Containers и Confidential Containers. Для этого в ядро добавили недостающие низкоуровневые механизмы: пространства имён, cgroups, virtio-fs, virtio-rng и переработанный vsock для обмена данными между хостом и гостевой системой.
Список основных изменений:

Microsoft fixes update failure bug in Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2

Microsoft has identified a bug preventing some Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 systems from installing monthly cumulative updates. The issue primarily impacts devices that were upgraded from Windows 10 or earlier versions of Windows 11, resulting in recurring update failures. Affected systems display error codes 0x80073712 or 0x800f0993, which indicate component store corruption or missing hydration candidates in the update logs.

Reducing NTLM fallback with IAKerb and LocalKDC in Windows

Microsoft has introduced two new authentication features, IAKerb and LocalKDC, entering public preview in June 2026 for Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel. Both features extend Kerberos authentication to scenarios that have historically forced a fallback to NTLM (NT LAN Manager), a legacy protocol that Microsoft plans to disable by default in a future Windows release. This article explains what IAKerb and LocalKDC do, how they work, and how you can begin testing them today.
