Google has published a review of Microsoft's recent security issues, concluding that Microsoft is "unable to keep their systems and therefore their customers' data safe."

In its report, Google calls Microsoft out for failing to correctly describe a security breach to the public last year where China-backed hackers infiltrated Microsoft Exchange's systems, allowing them to access any Exchange account. Google cites the federal cybersecurity review board's findings that Microsoft customers didn't have enough information to determine whether they were at risk at the time, and Microsoft made a "decision not to correct" statements about the breach the board deemed "inaccurate."

NetChoice has asked Vermont Governor Phil Scott to veto a bill that would create an "age-appropriate design code," and also impose sweeping restrictions on companies' collection and use of data.

Practical quantum computers may still lie some way in the future, but researchers are already getting excited about the next leap: the “quantum internet.”

This is a still-theoretical way to connect quantum computers to one another, one day allowing people to compute and exchange data across distant devices. And there’s already a lively debate about how involved the government should get in its development.

Much like the classical internet of zeroes and ones, a quantum internet is based on the premise that you can do a lot more over a network linked with other computers and data systems than you can when limited to the processing power of a single machine — even if that machine has the unusual powers of a quantum computer.

Scientists think future quantum communication networks will be especially useful for solving complex problems in the fields of finance, medicine, and scientific research that quantum computers may struggle with alone. They also promise nearly unbreakable encryption, making it essentially impossible to intercept or eavesdrop on messages encoded in quantum states.

SpaceX's Starlink network for cell phones is generating radio interference, according to a competing company that's urging US regulators to intervene. 

On Friday, Omnispace—which is also trying to bring satellite connectivity to phones—told the FCC that SpaceX’s ongoing tests for its cellular Starlink service are interfering with Omnispace's own satellite activities. 

"SpaceX’s operations violate the terms of its experimental authorization and must cease," Omnispace told the FCC in a 43-page regulatory filing. 

Despite the buzz surrounding it, the prominence of prompt engineering may be fleeting. A more enduring and adaptable skill will keep enabling us to harness the potential of generative AI? It is called problem formulation — the ability to identify, analyze, and delineate problems.
