Adjustable Bed Fails: Zero Gravity Turns Sour

Lumma infostealer, a cloud-based malware, has resurfaced and is infecting Windows computers globally, despite previous law enforcement efforts to take it down, according to reports from multiple news sources. The malware, known for its "malware-as-a-service" model and use of social engineering, has rebuilt its infrastructure and is once again posing a threat.

The resurgence of Lumma was reported by Ars Technica, which noted the malware's ability to spread globally. The infostealer's return highlights the ongoing challenges in combating cybercrime, particularly when sophisticated, cloud-based models are employed. The original takedown efforts, while initially successful, proved insufficient to completely eliminate the threat.

In other tech news, some Samsung OLED TV owners are expressing regret over their purchases due to frustrating software issues, as reported by The Verge. These issues, particularly with volume control and input switching, are impacting user experience despite the TVs' otherwise excellent picture quality. "Many Samsung OLED TV owners are regretting their purchases," according to a senior editor at The Verge. The dissatisfaction highlights a preference for simpler smart TV interfaces, contrasting with more user-friendly experiences found on other brands.

Meanwhile, in the realm of artificial intelligence, a user successfully built a distributed system with Byzantine fault tolerance, strong consistency, and crash recovery using the AI model Claude over a weekend. According to Hacker News, the user described the desired behavior and worked through bugs conversationally without writing any implementation code. The AI generated 4,749 lines of Kotlin code and 103 passing unit tests in just 50 minutes, demonstrating the potential of AI in software development.

In a different area of technology, a writer at Wired experimented with the "zero gravity" feature of an adjustable bed frame. The writer, who had owned the bed frame for years, had never slept in that position before. The experiment was undertaken as sleep has become more about getting it right, with posture and alignment becoming increasingly important.
