05:15 AM Microsoft will 60.000 Beschäftigte loswerden: Für künstliche Intelligenz werden Milliarden ausgegeben, beim Personal wird gespart

Microsoft bietet rund 60.000 Beschäftigten freiwillige Abfindungen an, mehr als einem Viertel seiner weltweit 223.000 Mitarbeiter. Während der Technologieriese allein 2026 Investitionen von 175 Milliarden Dollar plant, vor allem für künstliche Intelligenz, soll beim Personal gespart werden. Betroffen sind unter anderem die Bereiche Windows, Xbox und Copilot sowie die Finanz- und Personalabteilungen. Bereits im Juli strich Microsoft 4.800 Stellen, zuvor erhielten rund 9.000 amerikanische Beschäftigte Abfindungsangebote. Das neue Programm gilt für berechtigte Mitarbeiter in den USA, Kanada, Großbritannien und Indien. An der Börse wurde die Nachricht gelassen aufgenommen: Die Microsoft-Aktie legte am Montag um rund 1 Prozent zu.

07:12 PM No Nobel Peace Prize for Trump: Now He Calls Norway a “Shithole Country”

Donald Trump called Norway a “shithole country” at a campaign rally on October 25, 2026, in Port Huron, Michigan. The American president declared that he no longer wanted immigrants from Norway coming to the United States because the Norwegian Nobel Committee had denied him the Nobel Peace Prize. Earlier in October, Trump had already called the decision an “indelible stain” on Norway. Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide reminded him that the Nobel Committee makes its decisions independently and that the Norwegian government has no influence over who receives the award. No actual change to U.S. immigration policy concerning Norwegians has been announced so far. Norway is among the wealthiest countries in the world, and its sovereign wealth fund generated a record profit equivalent to $184.3 billion in the first half of 2026 alone. Trump, who has already hurled similar insults at Haiti, Libya, and other countries, is now targeting the people of an allied European nation with his abuse because an independent committee refused to give him an award.

05.30 AM Trump Exploits September 11 to Incite Hatred Against Muslim Senate Candidate

At a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, Donald Trump compared Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to the terrorists behind the September 11, 2001, attacks. The president called him a jihadist and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, without providing any evidence. Trump declared that 25 years after the attacks, Michigan needed to stop such a man from entering the Senate. He also claimed that El-Sayed would be the only senator required to go through a metal detector before entering the Capitol. Shouts of “traitor” and “deport” rang out from the predominantly white crowd, even though El-Sayed was born in Michigan. His Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, had himself made unsubstantiated claims about ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, although he stopped short of calling El-Sayed a terrorist. El-Sayed called the questioning of his loyalty to America shameful and pointed to Trump's financial ties to Saudi interests and the $400 million jet from Qatar. Barack Obama had already condemned the attacks on Saturday as an attempt to portray El-Sayed as less American. On November 3, Michigan will decide a fiercely contested Senate seat, while Trump turns the memory of 9/11 into a political weapon against a Muslim American.

06:44 AM The Internet Runs on PHP, but There's Not Enough Money to Keep It Secure

Two serious security vulnerabilities in the PHP programming language have set off alarm bells around the world. On October 21, 2026, government websites in several European countries were temporarily knocked offline as operators rolled out security updates. PHP powers up to 70 percent of all websites, yet the nonprofit PHP Foundation has just 1 full-time employee and 14 mostly part-time contractors. Executive Director Elizabeth Barron says the foundation is chronically underfunded, even though companies and governments rely heavily on the software. Artificial intelligence helped uncover vulnerabilities that had existed for 10 years, but at the same time, it's driving nearly twice as many proposed code changes, all of which have to be reviewed by humans. Cloudflare recorded millions of attempted attacks, but so far there is no evidence of successful exploitation before the vulnerabilities were disclosed or on systems that had already been patched. A technological foundation of the global internet is being protected by an organization whose staffing barely reflects the importance of its work. What a strange time we're living in, when organizations responsible for keeping us safe online are struggling to survive, just like independent investigative journalism. Both do work that millions of people depend on, while the willingness to support them financially remains frighteningly low. Just how much their work is taken for granted usually becomes clear only when something breaks down.
