Windows 11 June 2026 update, which was supposed to make PCs faster, is crashing some PCs with BSODs, breaking OneDrive integration in File Explorer and custom folder icons, and causing other problems. We're seeing reports that Windows 11 KB5094126 is causing boot failures on some PCs, mostly HP enterprise hardware. The worst reports involve BitLocker recovery loops, Black Screen of Death/BSOD failures, Secure Boot signature errors, and error 0xc0430001. Affected models appear to include HP EliteBook 840 G10, HP ProBook 460 G11, HP Engage One Pro G2 AiO POS, HP ZBook, and some Dell Precision systems. The likely trigger is Secure Boot certificate handling EFI partition space. On older images with a 100MB EFI partition, Windows may fail to update Boot Manager because there isn’t enough space, especially on HP systems where firmware recovery files can bloat EFI. There are also File Explorer cloud integration issues. OneDrive, and in some cases Dropbox or iCloud Drive, may stop opening from the sidebar/tray shortcut after KB5094126. Microsoft also confirms desktop.ini hardening can break custom folder icons or localized folder names from untrusted sources. KB5094126 is important, as it fixes 200 security bugs, but be careful, as it could cause havoc on some PCs.

AI will not make engineers more productive. It will make bad engineering faster. Here's the pattern I see: A junior engineer asks an AI to write the simulation code. The AI writes something plausible. The engineer doesn't fully understand it. The simulation runs. The results look reasonable. The engineer ships it. Nobody caught the edge case in the boundary conditions. Nobody questioned whether the model assumptions were valid. Nobody held the equations long enough to develop intuition. Speed without understanding is not productivity. It's technical debt with better syntax. The engineers who use AI well are the ones who already know enough to catch its mistakes. The ones who don't know enough use it as a crutch and call it skill. AI raises the floor for bad engineers. It raises the ceiling for great ones. The gap between them is getting wider, not smaller. Where are you on that spectrum? Be honest.

Lets cut Welfare to fund Defence. Here's the top claimants we need to deal with. Amazon, Google, Starbucks, Meta, Apple, Shell, BP, Vodafone... All these companies pay ZERO tax in most if not all year's. They should be paying tens of billions. End this unaffordable Welfare.

WhatsApp for Windows uses more memory than many expect. A recent report found that the app can consume over 1.2 GB of RAM after opening and switching between chats. The issue began after Meta replaced the older native Windows app with a WebView2-based version, While this simplifies development, it also makes the app heavier and less efficient. Users have complained about slower performance, delayed notifications, and the app continuing to run in the background even after closing the window. he old native version used much less memory and performed better. windowslatest.com/2026/06/13…

Update: the Arch Linux AUR supply chain attack just got much worse. When I posted earlier, around 400 packages were compromised. Now it's reportedly over 1,500. The malware isn't just stealing credentials. It's targeting developers by harvesting: • SSH keys • GitHub tokens • npm credentials • Browser sessions • Slack, Discord & Teams accounts • VPN configurations And on privileged systems, it can reportedly deploy an eBPF rootkit to hide from security tools. This is quickly becoming one of the largest AUR compromises ever seen. If you're an Arch user, now would be a good time to audit your recent AUR installs.
Over 400 Arch Linux AUR packages were just compromised. And this is a reminder that open source doesn't automatically mean secure. Attackers reportedly hijacked package maintenance and injected malware capable of: • Stealing GitHub credentials • Extracting SSH keys • Harvesting browser cookies • Accessing Slack, Discord & Teams data • Collecting VPN credentials • Deploying an eBPF rootkit The scary part? Many developers install AUR packages without reviewing every PKGBUILD. Affected systems may have exposed: • GitHub tokens • npm credentials • Docker & Podman secrets • HashiCorp Vault tokens • SSH artifacts • Browser session data If you're running Arch or an Arch-based distro and recently installed AUR packages: • Audit installed packages • Check for indicators of compromise • Rotate credentials immediately • Consider a clean reinstall if rootkit activity is suspected This isn't an Arch Linux problem. It's a software supply chain problem. One compromised package can put thousands of developer machines at risk. Do you review PKGBUILDs before installing AUR packages, or do you trust the community by default?

So, let's see if I have this right. Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell go to prison for sexually abusing and trafficking over 1200 minor girls and young women - spanning decades. But, it really didn't happen? The FBI spent years interviewing these girls, watching videos and came up with nothing? The FBI is telling us there were no other participants? So, we're to assume that these young girls weren't victims of hundreds of sick men? My question is how does something like this happen and why (they're treating these girls as if they were black)?

#insiders Raf Epstein states the blatantly obvious-' The media hold Pauline Hanson and One Nation to a different standard'. And Leader of the Pack is Murdoch media. Their fawning idolization of Hanson is absolutely bile inducing. The National Press Club will be interesting .
