Why Ubuntu 26.04 upgrades from 24.04 are currently delayed
If you’re wondering why you can’t do a directly upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 from 24.04 yet, despite the Resolute Raccoon’s first point release being live, there is a reason. Canonical’s Oliver Reiche said in the mailing list announcement for Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS that upgrades will be delayed by a few weeks to allow couple of backports to land. These will “address regressions in a recent version of rust-coreutils”. Users on Ubuntu 25.10 are not affected by this; upgrades from 25.10 went live in April. Unlike the ISOs, which target a fixed release date, upgrades don’t. Enabling upgrades from one release to the […]

Cloudflare’s Adaptive Intelligence makes bot attacks a moving target
Cloudflare has launched Adaptive Intelligence, a Bot Management engine that continuously retrains on live traffic and changes its detection logic as attackers adapt. The system is designed not merely to block bots, but to make repeated automation attempts slower, less predictable, and increasingly expensive to operate.

Claude Max 20x lawsuit challenges what Anthropic’s “20x” promise means
Anthropic’s $200-per-month Claude Max 20x plan is facing a proposed class action alleging that its headline multiplier applies only to a five-hour session, not to the weekly capacity customers actually use. Based on Anthropic’s own published ranges, plaintiff Karl Kahn says Max 20x delivers roughly six to eight times the Pro plan’s weekly usage, while Max 5x delivers about 3.5 times—not the advertised fivefold and 20-fold increases.

Sony and Warner sue Anthropic over Claude training data and tens of thousands of songs
Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell Music have sued Anthropic, alleging that Claude was trained using tens of thousands of copyrighted songs and lyrics obtained through unauthorized copying. The complaint also names CEO Dario Amodei and co-founder Benjamin Mann, and could expose Anthropic to billions of dollars in statutory damages.

Windows 11 KB5120998: New features and issues
Microsoft released KB5120998 on August 27, 2026, as an optional preview cumulative update for Windows 11 versions 24H2 (build 26100.9278) and 25H2 (build 26200.9278). The update adds taskbar and Start menu customization, search changes, security-related platform features, and removes the WMIC command-line tool. Microsoft is investigating reports that mouse cursor personalization settings are reset after installation, and users are also reporting desktop wallpaper and text-rendering problems that Microsoft has not yet acknowledged. You can install the update from Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates. The September 2026 Patch Tuesday release is expected to include this preview's changes, but features that use a gradual rollout still reach devices over time rather than all at once, so availability can vary by device.

Ubuntu’s IRC support channels to be ‘sunset’, some aren’t happy
Getting is planning to ‘sunset’ IRC as an official support method, and some long-time users aren’t happy. The recently Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS release announcement didn’t include a link to the Ubuntu Support IRC channel under its “if you have a question” section – though, from looking, the last announcement to list IRC was the one for Ubuntu 24.10). Even so: it led some to ask what the status of the #ubuntu-support channel on IRC Aaron Rainbolt, an Ubuntu Community Council member, said the omission was likely “accidental” in a reply posted to a followup discussion on Ubuntu’s Discourse, titled “Keep […]
