A Proxmox VE 9 upgrade is an operating-system and platform migration, not a routine package update. Check restores, boot recovery, storage, networking, repositories, guests and cluster health before approving any node for the move.
Choosing between VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, and HPE Morpheus in 2026 isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a question of long-term value versus cost, flexibility, and control. In this head-to-head comparison, we break down how each platform stacks up so you can decide which solution truly fits your infrastructure and budget.
Microsoft is steering Entra ID away from SMS and voice MFA and towards passkeys. The shift is security-led, but it’s operationally risky: recovery, Conditional Access interactions, legacy apps, and helpdesk load can all change the outcome.
AWS AI services address different jobs: Amazon Bedrock for generative applications, SageMaker AI for custom machine learning, pre-built APIs for recognised tasks, and Amazon Q for employee and developer assistance.
LEGO Pokémon SMART Play makes brick-built Pokémon react to physical play without making a phone or tablet the game. Its inventive screen-free appeal comes with a pricier, less effortless ownership experience than ordinary LEGO.
Critical unauthenticated code execution in specified Silicon One-based Cisco Nexus 9000 switches can give a reachable attacker root privileges and reload the device. Operators should urgently establish exposure, restrict access and upgrade using Cisco’s platform-specific guidance.
LEGO’s 6,130-piece Executor Super Star Destroyer is a 136cm-long UCS display model that prioritises structural engineering and cinematic scale over play. At £649.99 and more than 5kg, it demands both collector commitment and serious furniture.

Broadcom’s VMSA-2026-0006.2 adds vSphere 7.0 guidance for two unauthenticated, network-reachable vCenter flaws rated 9.8. With no workaround available, restrict access and use the supported patch route as an emergency change.
A newer Microsoft Defender security intelligence update appears to restore failed scans on affected Windows PCs, highlighting why rapidly delivered endpoint-protection updates need monitoring, staged deployment and clear recovery procedures.
One useful technology briefing a week. New articles, practical fixes and the things worth paying attention to — no daily noise.
