📰 I installed real Linux apps on my Android phone, and it got dangerously close to replacing my laptop

Android phones have been powerful enough to handle everyday work for years, but that power has never brought them particularly close to replacing my laptop. The problem is Android itself, where most work remains trapped inside individual apps that cannot access the same tools, files, and processes as freely as software running on a desktop operating system.

Клон SQLite на Rust, воссозданный AI на основе спецификаций

Компания Cursor опубликовала исходный код minisqlite, реализации СУБД SQLite, воссозданной на языке Rust и успешно проходящей официальный набор тестов sqllogictest от проекта SQLite. Проект подготовлен в ходе эксперимента, в котором проверялась эффективность работы AI-моделей GPT-5.5, Grok 4.5, Opus 4.8 и Fable 5, по воссозданию SQLite только на основе официального 835-страничного руководства, без доступа к оригинальному коду, интернету, наборам тестов и исполняемому файлу SQLite. Основная идея эксперимента - использование подробной спецификации в качестве промпта для создания сложного продукта.

Chaos ransomware uses browser-based C2 to evade network detection

The Chaos ransomware group has deployed a new Rust-based remote access trojan, msaRAT, which disguises command-and-control traffic by routing it through legitimate web browsers. By launching Chrome or Microsoft Edge in headless mode with remote debugging enabled, the malware utilizes the Chrome DevTools Protocol to manage communications. This design ensures that all external network activity appears to originate from standard browser processes rather than malicious infrastructure.

AI is killing off IBM’s mainframe business

IBM’s latest quarter was hurt by a sharp drop in mainframe sales, and management said the decline came from customers shifting budgets into other data center hardware instead of buying new Z systems now. The company said the AI boom is inflating prices for servers, storage, memory, and PCs, which pushed some planned mainframe purchases out of the quarter. IBM still argued this was a delay rather than a permanent loss of demand, saying it sees no evidence that customers are abandoning the platform.
