A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and terrain data normally used by rover planners, identified hazards like rocks and sand ripples, and charted a safe path across the Martian surface.

Windows is shifting to a more secure authentication approach, moving away from New Technology LAN Manager (NTLM) and toward stronger, Kerberos-based options. NTLM has been part of Windows for decades and continues to appear in some environments, particularly where legacy systems and older applications are present.
