Apple introduced iPhone Duo

Over the past six years, there has been speculation in the media that Apple is developing a foldable phone. It sounded convincing, because it would be strange if Apple left this category of devices to other brands. Apple builds its brand on thoughtfulness, reliability and does not make too many technical compromises. However, this approach does not do much to the effect of launching groundbreaking devices first. But that doesn't stop it from being the dominant player in the category. Read more ›

What’s new in .NET 10?

.NET 10 is an LTS version, so it will be supported for 3 years, i.e. until November 2028. Like .NET 9, it doesn't bring anything that would radically change the way we write code. The only exception is perhaps C# 14, which finally brings extension members – a feature that was originally planned (under the name implicit extension types) to C# 13. The rest of the news is more of an evolution: faster JIT, post-quantum cryptography and more pleasant work with SDKs. Read more ›

The Biggest Cyber Data Breaches of 2025

During the Celtic year of Windows 24H2, cyber vampires didn't just stop at passwords. School records, billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrencies, and the ability to produce cars disappeared for weeks. All they had to do was deceive support or abuse the supplier’s access. In addition to databases, empty production halls and services waiting for someone to fix their DNS are also haunted this year. Read more ›

Visual Studio 2026 is here!

Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2026 Insiders, which is another major version of the flagship development division of this tech giant. It mainly brings faster operation, better integration with AI, and new icons and settings. You can try the new IDE for free until January 12 next year. It is installed independently of other versions, so the existing version of Visual Studio will remain intact. Read more ›

Comparison test of different types of Noctua 120mm fans

The ability to concentrate is one of the key skills of software engineers. Although modern computers can be very quiet, the wrong choice of fan can have a very negative impact on the impression of a modern PC. That’s why I decided to try five different fans from Noctua to see for myself if they live up to their reputation for quiet operation. Read more ›

What’s new in .NET 9?

.NET 9 brings a number of performance improvements and minor changes. However, this version doesn't bring much to the table that it radically changes the way we write code. In this, the 3 previous versions were sufficiently implemented. Even one more significant change – implicit extension types, which had the potential to significantly change the way we write code, was eventually removed from C# 13 and will probably not see it for a year.

The scariest cyber incidents of 2024

During the Celtic year of Windows 23H2, cyber vampires stole health records, tapped mail, and had cryptocurrency transfers signed. Just when it looked like it would be quiet for a while, security software sent millions of computers to the blue death. So this year, there was no need to wait for an attacker, sometimes it was enough to wait for an update. Read more ›

What’s new in .NET 8?

.NET 8 brings another number of innovations. One of them is the ability to compile ASP.NET Core application in AOT (ahead-of-time) mode. In this regime, however, forget about MVC, Blazor or SignalR. On the other hand, you will be rewarded with an application that will be smaller, take up less memory and start significantly faster. In addition, .NET 8 also brings the ability to easily generate random strings. And C# was not left out either, which in its 12th version fundamentally simplifies class notation. Read more ›

The Most Insidious Cyber Infiltrations of 2023

During the Celtic year of Windows 22H2, cyber vampires feasted on bloody health records, passwords, and state mail. Millions of people lost their privacy, hotels lost their functional systems, and the cryptocurrency protocol lost nearly two hundred million dollars. Those who were afraid of attachments from unknown senders could breathe a sigh of relief this year: a phone could be hacked simply by receiving a message. Read more ›

What’s new in .NET 7?

Although .NET 7 brings another number of new features, the main emphasis this time was on performance. ASP.NET contains rate limiter, so we can usually do without the web.config file. The 11th version of C# brings better work with strings. And one feature that was previously only available in UWP and Mono – compilation in AOT mode (ahead-of-time) – is now available for the entire framework. Read more ›

The darkest cyber compromises of 2022

During the Celtic year of Windows 21H2, cyber vampires mainly sucked up personal data, cryptocurrencies and European infrastructure. This time, it was enough to write a string in the log to take control of the server, elsewhere it helped to tire employees with login prompts. If your computer is still working, it doesn't mean that it doesn't listen to you. Read more ›

Advanced features of Azure Storage

Azure Storage offers many useful features and services that make integration into existing systems easier. New solutions can take advantage of these features on an architectural level. Knowing which common patterns are natively supported by Azure Storage can radically accelerate development. Here is an overview of them. Read more ›
