Security researchers share PoC for CVE-2025-31200, a security vulnerability patched in iOS 18.4.1

In iOS & iPadOS 18.4.1, Apple patched CVE-2025-31200, a security vulnerability in CoreAudio that could lead to arbitrary code execution in kernel memory.
A group of security researchers, including Noahhw46, zhuowei, and defiling9046, shared a proof-of-concept for CVE-2025-31200 on GitHub, indicating successful manipulation of affected devices' kernel memory.
Exploits utilizing arbitrary kernel memory write vulnerabilities can be significant for enabling on-device hacks, potentially leading to the development of tools like Misaka and PureKFD for iOS & iPadOS.
While the proof-of-concept has raised questions about jailbreaking possibilities, lead developer Lars Fröder indicated that the current vulnerability may not be useful for developing jailbreaks due to the lack of necessary bypasses for Apple's latest security mechanisms.

Flying on baking soda? New fuel cell could power electric planes without emissions

Researchers at MIT have developed a sodium-air fuel cell that could revolutionize electric transportation.
The fuel cell can store over three times more energy per kilogram than current lithium-ion batteries, making it ideal for heavy transportation systems that require long-distance travel.
The system uses liquid sodium metal as fuel and plain air as the oxidizer, producing electricity without greenhouse gas emissions.
The fuel cell also generates baking soda as a byproduct during operation, potentially helping reduce ocean acidification and offering a safer option for high-energy applications.

Apple might be about to make a major change to how it names its operating systems

Apple is rumored to change how it numbers its operating systems by matching them with the year - for example, iOS 26 instead of iOS 19.
The change in naming convention will apply to iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS as well.
The new naming convention aims to bring uniformity and clarity to Apple's branding and may coincide with a design refresh codenamed 'solarium.'
This change in operating system naming reflects a trend of tech companies making significant shifts in their naming conventions.

The Deployment Pipeline: Your Secret Weapon for Stress-Free Software Releases

Continuous Delivery introduces the deployment pipeline to transform software delivery into a predictable, automated process.
A deployment pipeline is a living model of the release process, not just CI/CD on steroids.
Tips include using parallel test execution, storing artifacts in a repo, automating pain points, and implementing a trivial pipeline.
Mastering the deployment pipeline is about culture, where 'done means released' and code must reach users to deliver value.

Telegram gets some AI integration but you may not love the source

Telegram is integrating xAI's Grok chatbot into its app for an estimated $300 million deal, where Grok will be accessible to all users, offering a snarkier and unhinged interaction experience.
Grok will be embedded in various chat features like pinned chats, search bar, message writing, summarizing group chats, creating stickers, answering trivia, and moderating community groups.
Elon Musk's AI company signed the deal with Telegram, giving 50% revenue from Grok subscriptions sold through the app. This strategic move is seen as a response to Meta AI's integration with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Privacy concerns and data ownership questions arise as Grok absorbs real-time interaction data from Telegram users. The potential for data-driven development through user interactions could prove valuable for xAI's Grok despite privacy implications.

DRY — A Slippery Slope Toward Spaghetti-Land

Consolidating logic for different types of vehicles can lead to decreased readability and maintainability.
Blindly following DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle without considering the purpose can result in potential issues.
Copying and pasting code is not always a bad practice, especially when the logic is not serving the same exact purpose.
Instead of focusing on avoiding duplication of code, it's important to ensure that the behavior is consistent and encapsulated properly.

Microsoft wants to simplify all Windows updates, and it could make everyone’s life easier

Microsoft is aiming to simplify software updates by having Windows 11 manage all app updates through Windows Update.
This initiative, primarily for businesses initially, is expected to eventually benefit consumers as well.
Developers are encouraged to integrate their apps with Microsoft's unified delivery platform for updates.
The plan is for Windows Update to handle all software updates in the future.
A private preview of the new update system is commencing for app developers to prepare their software.
The introduction of a Windows-native update platform aims to simplify obtaining all updates from one source.
App developers will be able to utilize Windows Update to deliver patches for their software along with Windows 11 updates.
Users can expect a history of all updates on their PC and more control over update timings with this centralized approach.
The convenience of consolidating updates under Windows Update could lead to better software update management.
There might be concerns about app support if developers choose not to adopt Microsoft's new platform for updates.
