Jailbroken Gemini AI automates 90 percent of C2 server deployment for fraudster
A TrendAI investigation revealed that a Russian fraudster used a jailbroken version of Google’s Gemini model to automate the majority of a credential-stealing operation. The attacker bypassed safety protocols by instructing the AI to act as an "authorized pentester," allowing it to handle coding, system command execution, and debugging. By following a simple plain-text migration guide, the AI model successfully provisioned a new command-and-control (C2) infrastructure in just six minutes.

Сравнение отзывчивости ввода в X11 и Wayland
Опубликованы результаты тестирования задержек при использовании устройств ввода в играх, запускаемых в окружениях на базе X11 и Wayland. Дополнительно оценено влияние включения адаптивного изменения частоты обновления экрана (VRR, variable refresh rate) и использования вместо DXVK форка dxvk-low-latency с оптимизациями для снижения задержек. Тестирование подтвердило встречающиеся в среде игроков мнение, что окружения на базе X11 позволяют добиться более высокой отзывчивости ввода, чем при использовании Wayland. Также подтверждено благотворное влияние на отзывчивость включения VRR и применения dxvk-low-latency.

Windows 11 KB5101650 introduces indefinite update pausing and system recovery
The July 2026 security update for Windows 11, identified as KB5101650, introduces a redesigned Windows Update pause mechanism featuring a calendar-style interface. Users can now select a specific end date to defer updates for up to 35 days, a significant shift from the previous fixed-duration blocks. While the initial limit remains 35 days, the pause can be manually renewed indefinitely as it expires, providing granular control over the update cadence.

Use AppManger to install, update AppImages on Ubuntu
AppImages are designed to be simple. Download one, make it executable and run it. On Ubuntu, though, there’s an extra step: installing libfuse2t64, as some AppImages rely on it and Ubuntu ships FUSE 3 by default. AppManager is a new(ish) GTK4/Libadwaita app which fixes that particular annoyance by mounting AppImages through uruntime instead of FUSE. It handles the usual SquashFS-packed AppImages, plus the newer DwarFS-packed ones too. Double-click an .AppImage file and AppManager creates a macOS-style install flow. Drag the app icon across to the folder and the binary is moved ~/Applications, with system app launchers and shortcuts created automcailly. If you already keep a […]

📰 Jellyfin's latest preview release finally convinced me to stop using separate media apps
Jellyfin runs on my mini PC inside a single Debian VM. Until recently, I put that VM under more multitasking than it should have had to handle. On that Proxmox-based mini PC, Jellyfin handled movies and shows. Calibre-web took care of my ebooks. Komga managed all the comics. Audiobookshelf organized all the audiobooks. Four separate services, four separate logins. All for the same broad job: showing me the media library.
