Corsair Galleon 100 SD one minute reviewI still don’t quite know what to make of Corsair’s Galleon 100 SD gaming keyboard. On the one hand, the ethos of this thing, the switches, the design, the implementation are generally very well thought out, and it’s solidly built too.Sound-dampening is decent, the linear MLX switches are delightful to type on, and the Stream Deck integration on the right-hand panel gives the…

Some Windows users have noticed painfully slow downloads or laggy network responses inside WSL. This can be due to multiple reasons, but ultimately, the components working with NAT are at fault here. In this post, we will see how to restore full network speed for apt, curl, git, and any other network operations inside your Linux environment. WSL 2 uses a virtualized network adapter with Network Address Translation (NAT). This NAT layer introduces extra overhead and can conflict with Windows networking components. Additionally, the default WSL network settings (such as IPv6, DNS, or MTU) often don’t match your physical network.…

I’ve ended up traveling far more in my life than I would’ve ever predicted. As a kid, my parents took me on annual roadtrips across Canada and the US, to the point that I’ve seen more of America than most birthright citizens. Later, I moved to Texas and became a US citizen myself, frequently driving out of Austin to other parts of the state. I’m back in Canada these days, but I’ve already ended up driving extended distances, for instance touring the Rockies. Starting with my time in Texas, Google Maps became an indispensable tool. It’s actually hard to imagine…

Alert fatigue and its related effects on SOC efficiency are self-evident problems. Less obvious and more complex are the cause, effect and possible solutions to these problems. SOC analysts are inundated with a huge and continuous volume of alerts generated by security tools. Each alert is often meaningless absent correlation with other alerts. But finding relationships is time-consuming, and even if found, might be irrelevant to business security. Much of the alert volume is simply noise, but attempting correlation to find true positive alerts (signals) from the huge number of false positives (noise) is difficult, boring, and often pointless. The…

AI is becoming more powerful, and mysterious.Despite years of work on “explainable AI,” today’s most advanced systems remain black boxes for the most part. Scientists can observe what they do but cannot fully explain how they arrive at their conclusions or predict when they’ll fail.As large language models (LLMs), the algorithmic engines behind popular chatbots, permeate society, researchers are warning that the window for understanding AI “minds” is rapidly closing even as the technology’s influence expands.Last week, Eric Horvitz, chief scientific officer at Microsoft, and Robert West at EPFL in Switzerland outlined the dangers of putting AI interpretability on the…

Samsung’s next rugged smartwatch could be getting one of the biggest battery upgrades we’ve seen on a Wear OS device. According to a new report, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 will feature a battery with a rated capacity of 784mAh. This would likely be marketed as an 800mAh cell when the watch launches. If accurate, that would represent a jump of more than 30% over the current Galaxy Watch Ultra’s already sizeable 590mAh battery. Battery life has become one of the biggest battlegrounds for smartwatch makers. This is especially true in the Wear OS world, where many devices still struggle…

If you like the portability of a small e-reader but wish it could do a bit more, BOOX’s latest device may hit that sweet spot. The new Go 6 (Gen II) keeps the pocket-friendly design of the company’s original, but adds a key new feature that might entice you to upgrade: the ability to take handwritten notes. A simple e-reader turns into a productivity device So long as you don’t mind the smaller form Credit: Boox The biggest change coming to the Go 6 lineup is support for handwriting. While the original Go 6 focused solely on reading, the new model…

When I was doing all the testing for our Samsung Galaxy A57 review, I enjoyed how streamlined its software was compared to that of the best Samsung phones. But since publishing that review, I’ve been jumping back and forth between the A57 and another Samsung flagship, and I’ve got a more nuanced view.Before the A57 (and, for a little while, after it), I was using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is pretty much the best Android phone money can buy. It has similar hardware specs to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with its biggest advancements instead coming in the form…

Oracle on Thursday released an out-of-band advisory addressing a PeopleSoft vulnerability that can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker for remote code execution.
