“Iran unveils second homegrown antivirus to counter malware and cyberattacks”

Iran has introduced its second domestically developed antivirus software, Ayyza, which utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect known and unknown cyber threats. The antivirus is designed to protect against malware, viruses, Trojans, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). Ayyza's detection engine is developed in-house and operates at the Windows kernel level to enhance detection accuracy and speed while minimizing hardware resource consumption. It can receive updates offline or via Iran’s National Information Network. Ayyza's machine-learning capabilities allow it to identify emerging threats, including previously unknown malware and zero-day vulnerabilities. The company has also created complementary security tools, such as privileged access management (PAM) systems and data leakage prevention tools, to enhance overall cybersecurity. The company's products are currently used in various Iranian infrastructures, including banking, financial, and governmental systems.

Microsoft engineer says “typing code is absolutely over,” and Windows 11 is already being built that way

David Fowler, an engineer with 18 years at Microsoft, claims that traditional software development methods are becoming obsolete, stating, “Typing code is absolutely over.” He has co-created technologies like SignalR and NuGet and currently leads Aspire, a toolchain for building distributed applications that emphasizes AI-driven development. CEO Satya Nadella noted that AI contributes to 20-30% of the code produced at Microsoft. While developers will still interact with code, manual typing is becoming less central, with a shift towards strategic software engineering tasks. Microsoft Research found that AI-generated suggestions in Visual Studio IntelliCode are often overlooked by developers. GitHub Copilot has evolved to autonomously perform tasks, including building Windows development environments as of February 2026. Linus Torvalds supports AI in Linux development, viewing it as a useful tool. A report from Veracode indicated that about 44% of AI-generated code contains known vulnerabilities, highlighting the need for oversight. Microsoft’s MDASH system uses AI for enhanced vulnerability assessments. Microsoft emphasizes native Windows development through the open-source WinUI 3 framework and provides resources for beginners using Copilot. Project Zenith aims to optimize Windows 11 for developers, supporting local AI-powered development. Fowler's statement signifies a transformation in developers' roles, focusing on strategic aspects rather than typing code, while the need for skilled software engineers remains essential.

RPCS3 Team Won’t Touch Leaked DLSS 5, Calls the Output “Slop”

The RPCS3 development team has stated they will not incorporate the recently leaked DLSS 5 technology into their PS3 emulator, despite some users testing it. They expressed a preference to distance themselves from DLSS 5, criticizing the use of upscalers and frame generation that they believe obscure optimization issues. The team previously integrated AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), leading to discussions about their stance on different upscaling technologies. The leaked DLL from an early build of NBA 2K27 has been used in various PC titles with mixed results, but RPCS3 remains committed to game preservation, asserting that DLSS 5 does not align with their mission.

Google enforcing new Android app memory limits in February

Google will implement new memory management policies for Android applications starting in February 2027, which will enforce specific memory limits based on device RAM. The defined limits are: - For 4GB devices: 2GB in the foreground, 1GB for user-perceived services, 1GB in the background. - For 6GB devices: 2.25GB in the foreground, 1.25GB for user-perceived services, 1.25GB in the background. - For 8GB devices: 2.25GB in the foreground, 1.5GB for user-perceived services, 1.5GB in the background. - For 12GB devices: 3.25GB in the foreground, 1.75GB for user-perceived services, 1.75GB in the background. - For 16GB devices: 4.25GB in the foreground, 2GB for user-perceived services, 2GB in the background. Devices with more than 16GB of RAM will be largely exempt from these restrictions. The changes are motivated by RAM shortages and the impact of artificial intelligence technologies on memory availability, aiming to maintain device performance and user experience. Apps exceeding these memory limits may face reduced functionality or removal from the Google Play Store.

Windows 11 is accused of using AI to slow your PC, but it’s not what you think

Windows 11's privacy settings have caused confusion among users regarding the Text and image generation feature, leading to misconceptions that AI processes are actively running and draining system resources. Screenshots showing "zero" requests in the Recent activity section indicate that these features are not consuming RAM. The privacy page is intended to inform users about which applications can use on-device generative AI models, but it does not imply that these applications are currently using AI. The processing occurs on a specialized chip, ensuring that it does not burden the CPU, GPU, or standard RAM. Users can disable the feature by navigating to Settings > Privacy & security > Text and image generation. The terminology used in the operating system has contributed to misunderstandings, and the setting was enabled by default, which has led to skepticism among users due to Microsoft's history of implementing features without clear communication.
