October 25, 2025, 3:14 AM EDT. An AWS outage began with a small glitch: two automated systems tried to update the same DNS entry simultaneously, producing an empty entry and triggering a cascade that disrupted DynamoDB, EC2, and other services. The failure affected Netflix, Starbucks, United Airlines, hospital networks, mobile banking, and smart home devices. Amazon called it a race condition where concurrent writes conflicted, likened to two students editing a shared notebook. When DynamoDB went down, EC2 could not bring servers back online quickly, amplifying downtime. The postmortem outlines fixes to prevent simultaneous writes and improve availability, as Amazon learns from the event and works to harden its systems against similar disruptions.

October 25, 2025, 2:58 AM EDT. Instagram has rolled out a Watch History feature for Reels, letting you revisit every clip you've watched. You can browse in a chronological list, filter by date ranges (newest/oldest, past week/month), and remove items from history. Access it via Profile > Settings > Your Activity > Watch History. This makes it easier to find forgotten clips, saves time, and could boost repeat views and engagement for creators. Compared with TikTok and YouTube, Instagram is leaning into more user-friendly updates, giving users more control and preventing Reels from becoming a black hole of lost content.

October 25, 2025, 2:50 AM EDT. Microsoft has released an out-of-band security update to remediate CVE-2025-59287, a critical deserialization flaw in WSUS that is being exploited in the wild. The fix addresses remote code execution on Windows Server machines with the WSUS Server role enabled. Microsoft notes the vulnerability is not enabled by default, but threat actors can gain control by sending a crafted event to the WSUS server. An initial Patch Tuesday fix proved insufficient, prompting a follow-up update as researchers published PoC code. Experts from Trend Micro and national CERTs warn that compromised WSUS servers can distribute malicious updates to clients. Administrators should reboot after patching, or temporarily disable/block WSUS ports 8530 and 8531 if immediate remediation isn't possible.

October 25, 2025, 2:48 AM EDT. Microsoft released an out-of-band security update to fix CVE-2025-59287, a critical WSUS remote code execution (RCE) flaw that is already being exploited in the wild. The vulnerability arises from unsafe deserialization of untrusted data and can allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute code over the network via the GetCookie endpoint. The issue affects supported Windows Server versions with WSUS enabled; patched systems require a reboot. If patching is not possible, Microsoft recommends disabling the WSUS Server Role or blocking inbound traffic on ports 8530 and 8531. Security researchers credited include MEOW, f7d8c52bec79e42795cf15888b85cbad, and Markus Wulftange (CODE WHITE). Do not undo mitigations until the update is applied.

October 25, 2025, 2:46 AM EDT. Tech leader Bill Gates forecasts a future where AI advances enable a two-day workweek within the next decade, as AI will substitute many tasks while humans remain essential for specialized roles like doctors and educators. In interviews on The Tonight Show and with Harvard's Arthur Brooks, Gates described a free intelligence era that could democratize knowledge and reshape work, posing questions about which jobs will endure and how society should adapt. Early experiments with shorter weeks-Exos's four-day schedule boosting productivity and burnout reduction, and Tokyo's four-day government week-illustrate potential benefits and ethical concerns. Critics like Geoffrey Hinton warn of wealth inequality that AI could worsen.
