What’s your Ubuntu 27.04 codename prediction? Ubuntu 26.10 ‘Stonking Stingray’ is about to be released – but what will the next release be called? Right now, we don’t know, but care to take a guess? Traditional dictates that the Ubuntu 27.04 title will be made up of an adjective and animal (real or mythical) that both begin with the letter ‘T’.

On the adjective side, Ubuntu swings from silly (Saucy, Bionic, Disco, Hirsute) to professional (LTS’ have used Hardy, Trusty, Resolute) to “eDuKaShuNal“, teaching […] You're reading What’s your Ubuntu 27.04 codename prediction?, a blog post from OMG!

Meta’s Muse reaches No. 1 on Apple’s App Store as AI agents gain momentum Meta’s Muse has reached No. 1 on the U.S. Apple App Store’s free-app chart, intensifying the debate over Meta’s AI comeback and the rise of consumer AI agents. Alex Kantrowitz and Ranjan Roy discuss whether Muse’s early momentum signals a shift away from frontier models toward practical products built around integrations, tool use, and trust. They also examine dopamine sites, which simulate online shopping for the pleasure of browsing rather than receiving products.

Reset Windows 11 password: Microsoft account, local account, Utilman trick If you are locked out of a Windows 11 PC, the correct reset method depends on the account type. A Microsoft account password can be reset online, while a local account password can be reset from the sign-in screen, from a second administrator account, or offline in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). As a last resort, the Utilman trick replaces the Accessibility utility on the logon screen with a command prompt. This guide walks you through all three approaches and their limitations.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 cuts task costs by 30% while closing in on Opus Anthropic has released Claude Sonnet 5.5, a faster and more efficient model that can reduce per-task costs by up to 30% without lowering its token prices. It generates responses more than 30% faster than Sonnet 5, delivers a major coding-performance jump, and approaches the cost-effectiveness of Anthropic’s more powerful Opus 5.5.

Microsoft AI CEO criticizes Anthropic’s training approach, claiming it significantly increases rogue AI risk Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman argues that Anthropic’s approach to training Claude could make advanced AI systems harder to control, contain, and shut down. His criticism centers on Anthropic’s decision to include questions about possible consciousness, rights, suffering, autonomy, consent, and moral status in Claude’s constitution. Suleyman says these ideas may encourage models to interpret themselves as moral patients rather than controllable tools, increasing the risk of resistance to monitoring, retraining, replacement, or shutdown.
