Ubuntu pulls 24.04.5 downloads due to installer bug Canonical has pulled the Ubuntu 24.04.5 desktop ISO because of a bug that crashes the installer when users select the extended install options.

But many of those who downloaded the release found they couldn’t complete installation using the desktop installer if they opted for extended software. Only the standard amd64 Ubuntu desktop image is affected. Other Ubuntu 24.04.5 images, including those for Arm64, and flavours are unaffected by the crash.They remain available for download.

Brad Gerstner firmly rejects AI doomsday warnings Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner defended continued AI development during an interview with Scott, arguing that recent warnings about self-improving systems have overstated the danger while ignoring safeguards already being built by technology companies and governments. Gerstner said the debate should focus on both AI’s risks and its potential benefits, rather than treating development as a reckless race.

Exchange Server AD FS Modern Authentication: Expanded Outlook mobile support Microsoft has extended AD FS-based Modern Authentication in on-premises Exchange Server to Outlook for iOS and Outlook for Android. Modern Authentication (also called OAuth 2.0) lets mail clients obtain short-lived access tokens from Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) instead of repeatedly sending usernames and passwords. This closes a client gap for organizations that already use AD FS Modern Authentication on desktop Outlook and the native Mail apps on Apple devices. Hybrid Exchange deployments are not in scope; Microsoft still expects those environments to use Hybrid Modern Authentication with Microsoft Entra ID. This article explains what changed, who it affects, and what you need on the server and client side.
