My rating: EasyMy score: Perfect

I own a dog and a cat, or rather they own me, given that I spend my money on food, treats and other assorted PETSUPPLIES for them. And what do I get in return? Well, actually, from the dog, a lovely chocolate labrador, I get unconditional love. From the cat, meanwhile, I get… well, I get the honor of buying it food and treats and assorted PETSUPPLIES, and the sense that I should be very happy with that and nothing more.

Anyway, this is a subject I’m all-too familiar with, so finding all of the answers was not a great problem. I spotted LITTER and BONE while I was hunting for hints to use in this column, then once I knuckled down and tried properly I got the likes of COLLAR and KIBBLE with no issues. It was one of the easier Strands puzzles (and few are that hard, to be honest).

I seem to be making quite the habit of guessing groups with one connection in mind, only to get it right even though the answers were all linked by something different. I had two of those today: purple and blue, although in both cases I was halfway there.

Taking purple first, I put PYRAMID, LADDER and CHAIN together as things that humans might form into. I tried MUDDLE along with them – don’t judge me, it was just a guess – and when that was wrong turned to TREE, which proved to be correct. I was on the right lines: the actual connection was ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES, METAPHORICALLY.

For blue, I had a feeling that GARNISH, STIR and STRAIN went together as things you did to food, and thought maybe MUDDLE was also connected; do you muddle a salad maybe? Maybe not! But it was right anyway, though the connection was actually COCKTAIL-MAKING VERBS. Lucky me.

What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final one, as you’ll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

It’s a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

It’s playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

It’s been a long time coming, but GIMP 3.0 is nearly here.

GIMP 3.0 release date is nearly here after a long waitOpen source image editor is a key Photoshop rivalNew logo and host of features coming for loyal users

The long-awaited release of GIMP 3.0 is coming, according to the team behind the open source Photoshop alternative.

The GNU Image Manipulation Program, previously known as the General Image Manipulation Program, unveiled a release candidate version of the platform on November 6.

“We are very excited to share the first release candidate for the long-awaited GIMP 3.0,” the developers said in a blog post announcing the release. “We’ve been hard at work since our last development update to get this ready, and we’re looking forward to everyone finally being able to see the results.”

GIMP 3.0 release

The announcement follows years of speculation over the release of the latest version of the Photoshop-style tool, with GIMP 2.0 released in March 2004.

Since then, there have been frequent updates, including GIMP 2.4X and 2.6X in 2007, 2.8X in 2022, and the most recent release, GIMP 2.10X, from 2018 until now.

The developers behind the tool said the software version is nearing completion and set to be released to the community after final testing and bug testing has been completed.

“If user feedback reveals only small and easy to fix bugs, we will solve those problems and issue the result as GIMP 3.0,” the developers said.

“However, we hope and expect a much larger audience to try out 3.0 RC1 – including many people who have only been using 2.10 up until now.”

“If larger bugs and regressions are uncovered that require more substantial code changes, we may need to publish a second release candidate for further testing.”

What this means is that, providing there are no significant issues flagged by users, the release of GIMP 3.0 could be imminent, or at least within the next few months.

What to expect with GIMP 3.0

So, what can users expect to see with the new release? First off, there’s a new logo, designed in collaboration between Aryeom and other contributors.

Developers said the iconic Wilber logo, which was created by Jakub Steiner for GIMP 2.6 in 2008, remains a “fantastic logo”, but “design trends have changed a bit in the last sixteen years”.

Elsewhere, the interface will remain recognizable for many users but has been given a bit of TLC, enabling it to better scale to high-resolution displays. A raft of icons have also been converted to scalable vector graphics as well, improving the overall quality and scalability of assets.

“One of the major improvements from the GTK3 port is that the vector UI icons now scale more cleanly based on your preference settings,” developers said.

“Our Legacy icon theme was mainly raster PNGs however, so it could not take advantage of the GTK3 scaling system. Contributor Denis Rangelov took on the extensive challenge of recreating the Legacy tool icons as SVGs.

Notably, the biggest changes in GIMP 3.0 are on the backend and will help improve plugin compatibility for users still relying on older versions of the platform.

Similarly, a public GIMP API has also been built to allow users to port GIMP 2.0 plugins and scripts to the newer version.

“Another task that had to be finished before the 3.0 release was finalizing the public API.”

“Since the API is now stable, plug-in and script developers can begin porting their 2.10 scripts based on this release.”

Zoom claims its AI features outperformed Teams and Webex alternatives in testing.

Zoom AI performance shows “leader” capabilitiesConversational AI responses are nearly 2x faster than Microsoft TeamsZoom says it is committed to expanding access to AI

A recent report by software testing provider TestDevLab has claimed Zoom is leading the way when it comes to AI, good news for a company that has invested so heavily in AI recently.

The study found video conferencing software from Zoom outperforms key rivals, such as Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex, in areas like transcription accuracy, meeting summaries and conversational AI.

The news comes less than a month after Zoom announced version 2.0 of its AI Companion, which includes new capabilities like expanded context, information synthesis and the ability to take action.

Zoom claims to be better at AI than Teams, Webex

The report claimed Zoom achieved the lowest Word Error Rate (WER) in meeting transcriptions, scoring 7.40% compared with 10.16% for Webex and 11.54% for Teams, which means it has greater accuracy when it comes to keeping records.

Similarly, but with less of a distinction, Zoom outperformed Teams and Webex in terms of transcription evaluation and meeting summarization.

Speaking about the AI-generated summaries, the researchers said: “Strengths include objectivity and a clear listing of action items, while minor improvements could be made in providing a bit more context for certain terms and ensuring full completeness by covering some minor sub-discussions.”

The company also excelled in conversational AI, delivering responses in 4716.1 milliseconds on average – nearly twice as fast as Microsoft Teams (9269.9 milliseconds).

TestDevLab also analyzed prompt response stability, defined as the ability of all participants to receive a similar answer, and found that Zoom (96%) outperformed Teams (89%) and Webex (84%) by a healthy margin.

A months-old vulnerability, with no fix in sight, is being abused to grab VPN passwords.

Researchers spot Chinese threat actor stealing login credentials from Fortinet VPNThefts carried out with the help of a vulnerability discovered in 2023The bug is yet to be addressed, or even assigned a CVE

Cybersecurity researchers has revealed that for months now, Fortinet’s Windows VPN client has been vulnerable to a flaw which allows threat actors to steal user credentials – and Chinese hackers have reportedly now started exploiting the bug and stealing the data.

Experts from Volexity have published an in-depth report on a piece of malware called DeepData. This malware was used by a Chinese threat actor known as BrazenBamboo to steal login credentials, and VPN server information from Fortinet VPNs.

As the experts explain, after a user logs into the VPN, user credentials remain in process memory. DeepData can find and decrypt JSON objects in the client’s process memory, effectively stealing the information. As a final step, DeepData can exfiltrate the information to a server under the attackers’ control.

BrazenBamboo

Volexity found the vulnerability in early July 2024, and reported it to Fortinet. The company acknowledged the issue on July 24, however, it never acted on the findings, and the vulnerability is still unresolved. It was not even assigned a CVE number, and there is no indication when a fix might be available, if ever.

The findings are disturbing since Fortinet’s VPNs are used by many organizations of all sizes, all across the world. By obtaining login credentials, cybercriminals can gain access to company networks, which allows them to move laterally, steal more information, and potentially even deploy ransomware.

Until a patch is made available, Volexity advises users to restrict VPN access, and keep both eyes peeled for unusual login activity.

BrazenBamboo seems to be a state-sponsored threat actor, meaning it’s on China’s payroll. The researchers believe the group was the one to develop three known malware families, Lightspy, DeepData, and DeepPost. Unlike North Korean groups, who don’t shy away from deploying ransomware or other destructive malware, Chinese groups are mostly interested in cyber-espionage, and as such are usually trying their best to remain hidden for as long as possible.

Quartet of primes are great news for Canon fans

Sigma has announced four APS-C prime lenses for Canon’s RF mountAll have bright f/1.4 apertures, covering focal lengths from 16mm to 56mmThe news is a boost for hobbyist cameras like the EOS R7 and EOS R10

Sigma has just announced its first four prime lenses for Canon’s hobbyist RF-mount cameras – and they’re a long-awaited boost for models like the Canon EOS R7 and EOS R10.

Until recently, Canon had courted controversy for keeping its RF-mount closed to third-party manufacturers. That finally changed back in April, and today, we’re seeing the fruits of that decision with four new APS-C prime lenses with bright f/1.4 apertures.

Those lenses are the 16mm f/1.4 DC DN (ideal for street and travel), 23mm f/1.4 DC DN (an all-rounder equivalent to 37mm on full-frame), 30mm f/1.4 DC DN (perfect for tighter street photography), and 56mm f/1.4 DC DN (a great new option for portraits).

While Sigma previously announced two zoom lenses for the RF Mount – the 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN and 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN – this quartet of prime lenses is a little more exciting and greatly improves the options available for Canon’s APS-C mirrorless cameras.

APS-C sensors are smaller than full-frame equivalents, so they are typically found in more affordable, hobbyist camera bodies. In Canon’s lineup, models like the Canon EOS R10 and EOS R7 have in-body image stabilization (a handy feature because none of Sigma’s new lenses are optically stabilized).

As usual, Sigma’s new lenses promise to offer pretty good value and are available to pre-order now. The 16mm f/1.4 DC DN is priced at $489 / £389 and the 23mm f/1.4 DC DN costs $599 / £479, both available from January 23. The 30mm f/1.4 DC DN ($369 / £319) and 56mm f/1.4 DC DN ($529 / £419), meanwhile, will go on sale a little earlier on December 5.

What about full-frame Canon cameras?

These four Sigma lenses might be largely identical to the ones announced for Nikon Z cameras in February 2023, but they’re still a big bonus for anyone who owns (or is looking to buy) an APS-C Canon camera.

Canon fans have been starved of the lens choice enjoyed by Sony and Fujifilm shooters, whose mounts now offer a wide range of third-party options from the likes of Viltrox, Tamron and Sigma.

But these new Sigma primes, which are particularly appealing for street, travel, and portrait shooters, mean Canon cameras are finally playing catchup with their rivals on the lens front – at least the models with APS-C sensors are.

The bad news is that Canon doesn’t appear to encourage a similar openness for the best full-frame cameras in its lineup. There’s been no news or comment on similar lens options arriving for the Canon EOS R5 II, which means those cameras will continue to miss out on some of the more exotic and good-value glass enjoyed by rivals.

That isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker for everyone and didn’t stop the EOS R5 Mark II from pipping Nikon to our Camera of the Year award, but it is something to consider depending on your shooting needs and taste in lenses.

Build exclusively for Microsoft Azure, this processor is set to deliver jaw-dropping performance

Microsoft has unveiled a custom-designed AMD CPUAvailable only on Azure, it uses ultra-fast HBM memoryNvidia’s InfiniBand technology has also been used

Earlier today at Ignite, Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, pulled the curtain on a new AMD processor destined to become the most powerful CPU to run on its Azure cloud computing infrastructure, one that comes with a few surprises. You can request a preview access to the Azure HBv5 VMs by filling this form.

The 9V64H is a custom made, 4th generation EPYC server CPU, not one based on the latest 5th generation one, codenamed Turin. It has 88 cores and clocked at up to 4GHz; the closest existing model is the 9634, an 84-core CPU with a top speed of 3.7GHz.

According to Fernando Aznar, HPC + AI Product Marketing Manager at Microsoft, it will focus on “most memory bandwidth-intensive HPC applications, such as computational fluid dynamics, automotive and aerospace simulation, weather modeling, energy research, molecular dynamics, computer aided engineering”. But no word on AI.

What makes the CPU so special is that a cluster of four of these, as part of Azure HBv5 VMs (set to be launched in 2025), it has access to up to 450GB of RAM, in that case HBM3, with a combined memory bandwidth of nearly 7.0TBps.

That’s more than the AMD Instinct MI300A accelerator sans the GPU part (24 cores, 3.7GHz peak, 128GB HBM memory, 5.3TBps peak performance) and almost an order of magnitude higher than the rest of the competition (including AMD’s own).

A very unique CPU

But there’s more to it: this is AMD first quad-socket project which is an interesting take on what AMD told me earlier this year when I interviewed Robert Hormuth, the company’s corporate vice president, architecture and strategy.

Clearly, single socket is where the market is going, except when there’s a clear case – and a hyperscale client with near unlimited funds – to go for quads.

Microsoft also confirmed that the chip is SMT-disabled (just like the Zen 4c and Zen 5c parts) and the VM will be able to access a staggering 3.17TB of memory (up to 9GB per core).

And while this is a co-engineered chip, Microsoft is firmly at the helm as it enlisted Nvidia, AMD’s archnemesis, to provide with the industry-leading Quantum-2 Infiniband networking technology to keep CPUs fed with bits (800 Gb/s, split evenly between four CPUs).

This Microsoft says, will allow customers to “efficiently scale their workloads to hundreds of thousands of cores” if needed.

I was also intrigued by the mention of a 14TB local NVMe SSD that delivers up to 50GB/s read and 30GB/s write performance, which is far superior to anything out there that uses PCIe Gen5 technology and can only be achieved using specialist hardware like Highpoint’s Rocket 1608A add in storage card.

Attacks on businesses with Government ties have spiked, with fake DocuSign files a common tactic.

Fraudsters are impersonating US Government agenciesVictims are encouraged to renew fake contracts using DocuSignAttacks have spiked almost 100% in the last month

Cybersecurity researchers have found threat actors are increasingly using DocuSign impersonations to target businesses who interact with state and municipal agencies.

Research by SlashNext found attacks have spiked 98% compared to the previous two months, with hundreds of instances are being detected daily, and tactics are outpacing detection methods. Many of these are specifically impersonating government entities to exploit pre-existing trusted relationships between businesses and regulatory bodies.

Researchers found impersonations of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Maryland Department of Transportation, the State of North Carolina’s Electronic Vendor portal, the City of Milwaukee, the City of Charlotte, the City of Houston, and the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors.

High stakes signatures

As with most scams, the criminals created a false sense of urgency in victims. In one instance, a North Carolina Commercial contractor received a notice that their $12 million hospital construction project was at risk of immediate shutdown due to a compliance issue. The notice demanded an $85,000 ‘emergency compliance bond’ to prevent work stoppage.

As well as the financial loss, vendors face business disruption and sensitive data loss from the false contracts.

Businesses that hold a number of government contracts may be inundated with communications and contracts, but it’s important to stay vigilant and double check emails with inaccurate pricing or industry specific terminology as an indicator of inauthenticity.

“For businesses, the most important approach to defend against these fraudulent attacks is to spread awareness within the organization, to upskill and empower all workers to identify attacks at the earliest possible stage.” said Matt Aldridge, Principal Solutions Consultant at OpenText Cybersecurity.

“Beyond this, it is critical that inbound communications are thoroughly screened before being presented to users, be they emails, SMS, or even old school postal and fax communications”

Google is shifting Pixel launches and Android releases to earlier dates in the calendar, and Android 16 just showed up.

Android 16 has just launched in developer preview formDevelopers can use it to start getting their apps readyA full launch is due in the first half of 2025

Android 15 was only pushed out to Pixel phones last month, but Google isn’t hanging around when it comes to Android 16: the developer preview is now live, so app makers can start getting to grips with the 2025 software update.

These previews give developers the chance to get their apps ready for the full release of Android 16, and they evolve over time – so right now, there’s not a whole lot in the way of new features we can tell you about.

What Google has said is that Android 16 will enable users to give apps access to a selected number of photos and videos in their phone library if they prefer, rather than everything (which is how it works on iOS). The foundations are also being laid for improvements to health record syncing across apps and devices, with user permission.

Speaking of privacy, the Privacy Sandbox part of the mobile operating system is getting updated for Android 16. Essentially, it will mean we get more control over the data that apps can access, and how this data can be shared between apps.

Here’s what’s coming

The Pixel 9 Pro XL will be one of the first phones in line for Android 16 (Image credit: Future | Alex Walker-Todd)

Android 16 may seem light on new features now, but it’s early days: expect to hear more about major upgrades when the public beta launches in January 2025, and at the Google I/O 2025 event that should be happening in May 2025.

Changes rumored to be coming with Android 16 include more user control over the Do Not Disturb mode, improved security features, and a different way of accessing Quick Settings. We might also see the iPhone’s Dynamic Island idea transferred to Android devices, giving app makers a different way to present live information.

We already know that Google wants to get the software out by mid-2025, which is earlier than normal. The shift is to “better align with the schedule of device launches across our ecosystem, so more devices can get the major release of Android sooner,” Google says.

Android 15 was actually finished several weeks before it started showing up on phones, which doesn’t usually happen – and it’s clear Google doesn’t want a repeat next year, with the Google Pixel 10 most likely showing up sometime in August 2025.
