Microsoft gave customers' BitLocker encryption keys to the FBI The FBI served a search warrant to Microsoft in early 2025 to recover the encryption keys on three laptops, with the company complying to allow the agency to access the data on the devices that it otherwise would have been unable to read. According to Forbes, Microsoft spokesperson Charles Chamberlayne said that it receives around 20 requests for BitLocker keys annually, but most of them fail because the user did not store their recovery key in the cloud.

I finally understand my home network thanks to one simple tool Home networks can be a complicated beast, and they can very quickly grow out of control for a few reasons. Unlike a monitored environment, you tend to use your home Wi-Fi network as a plug-and-play peripheral. There's the router, of course, but very soon you add in phones, laptops, gaming consoles, IoT devices, streaming boxes, NAS boxes, and more. You get what I mean. It's easy to see why the network stops feeling like something you actively manage and becomes background noise.

Life on Earth May Have Started With a Frozen Poison A chemical that is deadly to humans may have contributed to the earliest steps toward life on Earth. Hydrogen cyanide can freeze into solid crystals at low temperatures. Computer modeling work reported in ACS Central Science shows that certain crystal surfaces are highly reactive, allowing chemical reactions to occur that normally would not happen in such cold conditions. Researchers suggest these reactions may have triggered a chain process that produced several of the fundamental building blocks of life.

Trump has invited dozens of countries to join the board that seeks to resolve global conflicts, but its remit has alarmed several US allies, as has the US leader’s comment that it “might” replace the United Nations.

I used Claude Code to vibe code a Mac app in 8h, but it was more work than magic Over all my years in the software business, I've built software using two fundamental techniques. The first technique was writing code myself, line-by-line. I enjoy that practice, though it can be incredibly time-consuming. If you hit a flow state, you can really groove on the process.
