Сегодня супер-юбилей для всей ИТ-отрасли: 25 октября 2026 г. исполняется 25 лет старту продаж Windows XP. В продажу англоязычная версия поступила в этот день в 2001 году, а еще 24 августа сборка 2600 ушла в производство (версия RTM, Release to Market). Microsoft вместе с Intel и другими производителями ПК потратила на продвижение Windows XP не менее миллиарда долларов. Первоначальный англоязычный слоган “Prepare to Fly” после событий 11 сентября заменили на “Yes You Can”. Кстати, на коробках с Windows XP этого слогана не было, только в маркетинговой кампании.

15 октября вышла Ubuntu 26.10 Stonking Stingray.

Exclusive: Wastewater analysis in England suggests people took roughly 2.5bn lines of drug in one year

• Ageing users and record deaths – the data behind Britain’s £9.8bn-a-year cocaine habit

• Pubs, festivals and workplaces: how cocaine has become an everyday habit

British police are recording a growing number of crimes linked to cocaine, including assaults, domestic abuse and dangerous driving, as figures show consumption has surged across England.

A Guardian investigation has found police forces across Britain recorded a 10% rise in crime rates associated with the class A drug since 2019, while the Home Office estimates cocaine usage at sites across England has risen by 26% since 2021.

‘Session cookies’ are a primary target for hackers letting them hijack and use your accounts

You’ve had a busy morning of life admin, logging into various accounts to check balances and make payments. At the end of a productive few hours you close your laptop and move on to your next job.

What you don’t know is that fraudsters have hijacked your session with the bank and are now able to access your account. You are the victim of cookie theft, which belongs to a type of fraud known as “session hijacking”.

Previously considered a middle-class drug, price drops have made cocaine more widely available, and created a new set of problems

• Cocaine-linked crimes on the rise in Britain as consumption surges

Lisa* is watching Scissor Sisters at a festival in the Lake District, a can of cider in hand, dancing along to the music on a sunny afternoon.

The 30-year-old has a few days off from her job as a veterinary nurse in Gateshead, where she lives with her fiance. She loves going to festivals, especially as “I love meeting new people,” she says.

В нейроотличной среде есть авторы, которые строят свою экспертность вокруг вопроса, истинна или ложна чья-то диагностика. Для меня бесконечное возвращение к проверке собственной «подлинности» выглядит как изнуряющая микроаутоагрессия. В этом я вижу сходство с ОКР/ОКРЛ-паттерном: сомнение, проверка, требование абсолютной уверенности и новое сомнение. Это не диагноз, а всего лишь метафора :)

У меня диагностирован АуСДВГ. Мне интереснее развивать нейроотличную тему через свой специнтерес к видеоиграм, который я пронес через всю жизнь. Разбираться в том, что меня увлекает, что утомляет и какие условия помогают получать удовольствие от игры. Из этого интереса и вырос вопрос этой статьи.

Если для нейроотличных людей предлагают собственную теорию привязанности, почему бы не задуматься о нейроотличной типологии игроков? Этот вопрос кажется мне особенно интересным, когда я пытаюсь разобраться в собственных отношениях с видеоиграми. Некоторые из них мне очень нравятся, но быстро утомляют. Другие увлекают ненадолго. А в одной недавней демоверсии я провел три часа подряд.

Размышляя об играх, я вспомнил по аналогии Neurodivergent Attachment Theory, или NAT. Это предложенная Моншенгом Летсоало в 2025 году попытка описать привязанность с учетом нейроотличий, в том числе аутизма и СДВГ.

Классическая теория привязанности объясняет, как складывается чувство безопасности в отношениях. Может ли человек рассчитывать на близкого, обратиться за поддержкой, спокойно переносить разлуку? Опыт отношений с заботящимися взрослыми в детстве может влиять на то, чего мы ждем от других людей.

While protests in France have claimed most international attention, large demonstrations also rocked many European cities Saturday from Milan to Rome to Madrid, Lisbon and Tirana.

Gondolas on demand, electric piste-grooming and chemical-free snow cannons – how Laax is ‘greenstyling’ its future

It’s the worst ski resort nightmare: hillsides of shaggy yellow grass streaked with slush under a leaden sky that’s coughing up sleet. Parts of Europe – places previously accustomed to crisp snow fields and pristine blue skies – are now facing this calamity, something meteorologists might describe as a British winter.

Not everywhere, of course. Only lower altitudes are seeing such disasters. Higher up, normal service continues. I’m in the Swiss resort of Laax, where most of the slopes are at about 2,000 metres, lofty enough to be snow-secure, for now. The halfpipe is busy with dudes in baggy trousers and headphones nonchalantly practising their double corks. On the traditional pistes there are four-year-olds who could probably ski before they could walk. And then – Switzerland has its wacky side – three young men in first-world-war greatcoats on antique wooden skis propel themselves with rough-hewn quarter-staves.

Brazil, Israel, Serbia and the US are holding elections within the space of 10 days. Will the authoritarian right cement its global gains, or can pro-democracy forces make a comeback?

Four elections on four continents within 10 days could profoundly reshape global politics, propelling the world further along its current authoritarian trajectory or marking a limited comeback for democratic norms.

In all four contests, basic democratic norms are at stake at a time when autocracy is advancing worldwide at an alarming rate. According to the Sweden-based V-Dem Institute, which uses multivariable assessment tools, the democratic freedoms enjoyed by the average global citizen are down to levels last seen in 1978 – long before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of communism in Europe.

Sewage samples and crime statistics paint a picture of established users taking more cocaine, more often

• Cocaine-linked crimes on the rise in Britain as consumption surges

• Pubs, festivals and workplaces: how cocaine has become an everyday habit

From pub toilets and private parties to football terraces and far-right marches, cocaine has become a familiar presence across modern Britain. Deaths linked to the drug have risen to record levels, while its supply supports a multibillion-pound criminal industry.

But who is using the drug, and how has the picture changed? The figures do not necessarily show millions of new users, but highlight an established market in which some people take more cocaine, more often – and face greater harm as they grow older.

Novelist says demise of Britain’s ‘incredible’ welfare system and housing struggles have led to deeper divisions

The novelist Zadie Smith has said that inequality has made culture clashes feel “existential”, adding that it has become “natural to look to your left and think ‘who the fuck are you?’”

In an interview with Dua Lipa as part of the Southbank Centre’s London literature festival, Smith argued that the demise of Britain’s “incredible, historic” welfare system has led to greater divisions.

Economic ties face scrutiny after scandal over Manchester City’s financial rules

• ‘That’s the way the city works’: how the UAE changed the face of Andy Burnham’s Manchester

Emirati-linked companies own almost 40% more land in Greater Manchester than a decade ago, Guardian analysis reveals, as the city’s economic ties face scrutiny after Manchester City’s financial rules scandal.

The number of land titles in Greater Manchester owned by United Arab Emirates-linked companies increased from 51 in 2016 to 168 in 2026, equivalent to a 39% rise in the total area owned in a decade, from 73 to 101 hectares (180 to 250 acres).

It means to be drab, homely or old-fashioned – ‘motherly’, essentially. Why can’t we have some respect for mothers, instead of deriding them?

A recent newspaper headline – “Sorry Radley! These dated handbag brands will make you look mumsy – here’s where stylish A-listers and Royals are shopping instead” – reminded me of a word I despise: “mumsy”.

My list of words that make me want to throw things is varied and long, but “mumsy” is near the top. The quality of being mumsy means to be drab, homely or old-fashioned, essentially “motherly”. Something about the casual misogynistic contempt it carries makes me livid. So livid I might even use “that voice”. You know. The scary mum voice that turns misbehaving children in supermarkets into stone.

Мы делаем бизнес-модули на ELMA 365: договоры, контрагенты, корреспонденция, доверенности, облигации. Всё больше этой работы делают ИИ-агенты. Они правят формы и скрипты, гоняют проверки, пишут документацию и отчёты.

Звучит как реклама. Но первые недели выглядели иначе. Два агента одновременно работали в одной папке проекта. Один часами гонял браузер, второй тихо делал свою задачу. А коммит любого из них мог подхватить мусор, оставленный соседом.

Это первая статья из семи о том, как мы перестроили работу, чтобы агенты приносили пользу и не ломали чужое.

Your feelings are understandable. Exploring and accepting them may help you move on

I was with my ex-partner for more than 20 years. We were mostly happy and I expected us to be together for life. For well over half the relationship, I was the sole breadwinner and, at my ex’s request, managed our finances. We were reasonably well off, with savings and without a mortgage. We even had a holiday home, albeit a static caravan.

I retired early, and the problems we had in our relationship grew. We had both loved travel, but I was repeatedly told we couldn’t afford it, which I knew was nonsense. I went back to work in a demanding new field, but my ex showed no interest. I spent more time away from home and began therapy (my suggestion of couples’ therapy was rejected). After a year of therapy, I said I was leaving.

Their hopes of having a second child were dashed. Two decades on, the actor remembers the grief and pain of that time

“I’m afraid this cycle has not been successful.” Emma and I cannot catch each other’s eye. We sit mute in our grief in the silence of the IVF doctor’s office. This is a kind of grief that is often not understood even to be grief at all. A grief about the loss of a potential child. An anticipatory grief – a grief for something that hasn’t yet appeared – a mourning for a possibility, of a longed-for future life to welcome, love and nurture. And there are no set grief rituals for this – for a child never present – no space in our society to mark, to grieve an actual physical death. It is a silent, achingly lonely, atomised grief. We had undergone many attempts in the years after the birth of our daughter Gaia. But that did not make this any easier.

Each cycle, each time we sat in that office, we had to ignore our grief and concentrate wholeheartedly and positively on our next attempt. We didn’t access any help over this time. We didn’t seek out counselling as a couple. I had no knowledge of how to process my grief – compounded month on month. Further cycles, more drugs, more fertility hormones, more ovarian hyperstimulation, injections, scans, blood tests came and went, all proving unsuccessful. I supported all wholeheartedly, but Emma was devastated by her inability to conceive again. In her mind, she had failed and could not forgive herself for that failure. And nothing I could say would change her point of view.

Exclusive: Optical engineering that went into 1,600-year-old Lycurgus Cup has baffled experts for centuries

The Romans’ proficiency in the art of glass-making has produced some of the wonders of antiquity, but few of their creations better a 1,600-year-old masterpiece which sits in the British Museum.

Depending on where a light source is positioned, the Lycurgus Cup changes colour, from jade green under normal lighting to ruby red when lit from behind – an astonishing feat of optical engineering that has confounded historians and glass-makers for centuries.

Humanitarian catastrophe largely ignored as rivals Gadi Eisenkot and Benjamin Netanyahu vow to end Hamas rule

As Israel prepares to go to the polls, Palestinians in Gaza are bracing for an outcome that could shape their future, knowing their fate rests with the country that has reduced much of the territory to rubble and killed nearly 75,000 people.

Gaza, where nearly a million displaced Palestinians face dire sanitary conditions, water shortages and the constant threat of Israeli strikes, has been largely absent from the election campaign.

When Hosni Mubarak, Egypt’s long-ruling dictator, was toppled from power in the Arab spring protests of 2011, his downfall sent shock waves across the Middle East. It also helped change the face of modern Manchester.

Mubarak’s successor, the Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi, was a sworn enemy of the United Arab Emirates, whose rulers feared the advance of Morsi’s Islamism.
