Weather from Microsoft Start named the most accurate global forecast provider Following the last few years of record-breaking natural disasters, it’s clear that weather prediction accuracy isn’t just for making daily decisions when going outdoors – it can save lives. From deadly risk of hurricanes to lightning storms to flooding, there’s a critical need for a high-accuracy weather forecast tool. To meet the needs of our users, we decided to build our own weather forecast system in Microsoft Start. Using industry-leading machine learning, AI and other innovative technologies over the last two years, Microsoft built one of the world’s leading weather forecasting capabilities. In a new, independent study commissioned by Microsoft and conducted by ForecastWatch comparing the top global weather providers, Weather from Microsoft Start was named the most accurate weather forecasting service. * ForecastWatch analyzed Weather from Microsoft Start’s [ more… ]

2023-03-24 KENNETH 0

USN-5970-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the KVM VMX implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle indirect branch prediction isolation between L1 and L2 VMs. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose sensitive information from the host OS or other guest VMs. (CVE-2022-2196) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Xen network backend driver in the Linux kernel when handling dropped packets in certain circumstances. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (kernel deadlock). (CVE-2022-42328, CVE-2022-42329) Gerald Lee discovered that the USB Gadget file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-4382) José Oliveira and [ more… ]

And like the previous Canary Channel build, this build has a few new features and changes to document. What’s new in Build 25324 Evolved Widgets Board We are beginning to preview a revamp of the widgets board experience with a larger canvas (3-columns if supported by the device) and dedicated sections for widgets [ more… ]
