Microsoft Scout includes native shell integration. Unlike standard AI extensions that are locked inside an IDE sandbox, Scout uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to interact directly with your local terminal. This means you can use the tool to run local terminal commands, manage Git repositories, and handle debugging tasks from a text prompt.

The Anubis ransomware group has taken credit for the disruptive attack on Coca-Cola subsidiary Fairlife and is threatening to leak stolen data unless a ransom is paid. Coca-Cola revealed last week that production at dairy company Fairlife had been suspended due to a ransomware attack. The full impact of the incident was still being assessed at the time of disclosure. The Anubis group listed Coca-Cola and Fairlife on its leak website on July 20. The cybercriminals claimed to have “locked” servers – this likely means they have encrypted files – and exfiltrated 1 TB of “confidential data”. Anubis hacks Coca-Cola…

A 13-year-old boy in Hangzhou has already won national AI competitions and built a following of more than 136,000 people online, all while his dad tries to figure out how to guide him through a field that barely existed when he himself was growing up. That family’s situation, first reported by Rest of World, says a lot about where China’s tech industry is heading right now. Companies used to wait for graduates to walk through the door. Now they’re reaching further back, first to undergrads, and increasingly to teenagers, hoping to spot rare talent before anyone else gets to them.…
Among a desktop PC, 2 MacBooks, and a business Windows laptop, I also run a dual-phone configuration: an iPhone 14 and a Galaxy S23. Theoretically, I shouldn’t have a storage problem with all of these devices, but regardless, I still do. The Android phone I use is specifically for everything work-related. Since getting the Galaxy S23 a few months ago after losing my S20 to an amateur mistake, I’ve accumulated quite a lot of junk that, frankly, I don’t have the energy to manually look up and clean up individually. Fortunately, there’s an easier way to do so, and it’s…

Cisco Foundation AI has announced Antares, a small language model (SLM) named after the brightest star in the Scorpius constellation. Just as the Antares star is bright because it is a binary star, so Cisco’s Antares family currently comprises two models: Antares-350M and Antares-1B. Both are SLM open-weight models available on Hugging Face. Cisco describes Antares as “purpose-built for one of the hardest, most time-consuming and expensive problems in security: pinpointing where known vulnerabilities exist within a codebase.” When a vulnerability is discovered, security teams must investigate whether their company code includes that vulnerability, and if so, where it is.…
Data from the Earth-orbiting U.S.-India NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite’s L-band radar was used to produce an image of Nunatak Zaterjavshijsja — a mountaintop in East Antarctica — poking out amid a stream of ice flowing northeast to the ocean. The obstruction causes stresses in the ice, heavily fracturing the surrounding surfaces with deep cracks, called crevasses, which show as sharp green lines in the image. Produced in August 2025, the image has been nicknamed “the hummingbird” by NISAR scientists. The colors show differences in the way polarized microwave signals, which vibrate in different directions, interact with and reflect…
