Microsoft introduces Linux's sudo command to Windows 11
Whenever Microsoft rolls out new Windows 11 builds for Insiders in the Dev and/or Canary channels you can never be sure what you’re going to get. Sometimes new features are introduced, other times it’s more about fixing bugs and making general improvements.
Build 26052, for both the Canary and Dev Channels, sees Insiders being moved from 23000 series builds to 26000 series ones. Insiders on both of those two channels will, for a short while, receive the same builds, but it’s only a temporary move.

From complexity to clarity: Managing IT landscapes in a hybrid cloud world
IT plays a key role in achieving sustained business success against a backdrop of constantly changing industry and economic challenges. Today’s IT systems not only underpin business operations but enable the projects and initiatives that deliver on every aspect of a company’s business strategy.
Over the last five years, there has been a significant transformation in the business systems and IT landscapes that IT teams are required to manage. The COVID 19 pandemic played a large role in this shift, with businesses having to rapidly incorporate new capabilities to facilitate remote work and maintain daily operations. Over time, these ‘temporary solutions’, plus others that have been implemented since, have become embedded in many organizations.
CIOs: Don't let the cost of cloud migration hold you back
In 2024, one fact is clear: The cloud aids business success. Cloud migration isn't just an operational upgrade but a highly strategic financial strategy capable of unlocking up to $1 trillion in business value. Cloud benefits extend from reduced operating costs -- including infrastructure, labor and energy expenses -- to enhanced scalability and operational efficiency.
Most organizations have caught on to these benefits. Today, more than half of all corporate data exists in the cloud, up from 30 percent in 2015. This dramatic shift illustrates the cloud's crucial role in modern data management and sets the stage for a long-overdue discussion of the cloud's financial implications.
The Deep Tech revolution -- Part 4: Tutorials and demos
How do you explain something completely disruptive and possibly complex to someone? How do you make them understand that this new paradigm or groundbreaking technology that they have never heard of is going to be a game changer for them or their company? That's often something difficult to communicate, especially for Deep Tech companies looking to disrupt entire industries with their work. Introducing new and improved ways of doing something people have grown familiar with, might be even harder to achieve if you have to change people's beliefs and long established habits.
Technology lives on continuous development and innovation, but sometimes announcing big changes to the public, even the core technical audience one would expect with Deep Tech companies, requires an ‘educational’ approach. That's easy to say, much harder to achieve.
