Thomson Reuters Built a $40M Legal AI Model: What Thomson Means for Lawyers

Thomson is Thomson Reuters’ first proprietary large language model, built specifically for legal, tax and regulatory work rather than general-purpose chat. Announced on August 24, 2026, it cost about $40 million in talent and compute to develop, uses Thomson Reuters’ proprietary professional content and is being deployed first inside CoCounsel Legal’s Tabular Analysis.That makes the launch more important than another model benchmark. Thomson Reuters is testing a different AI strategy: own the model, specialize it deeply, keep customer data out of training, and use outside frontier models only where they remain the better tool.What is Thomson?Thomson is a proprietary LLM developed by Thomson Reuters for professional workflows. The company says it began with a strong open-source foundation a...

AI-Generated Attacks Target Siemens S7 PLCs: What US Operators Should Do

US federal agencies are warning that cyber actors are actively targeting Siemens S7 programmable logic controllers with AI-generated exploitation scripts disguised as legitimate monitoring tools. The August 19, 2026 advisory matters because these PLCs sit inside real industrial environments, including energy, water, manufacturing, chemicals, food production and commercial facilities. The immediate defensive priorities are to remove unnecessary internet exposure, segment operational technology networks, update affected systems, tighten access and monitor for unusual PLC communications.The warning is unusual not because industrial control systems have never been targeted before, but because the agencies explicitly describe artificial intelligence as accelerating the creation of offensive too...

Fairphone Gen 6+ Is Finally in the US: Is It Worth $649?

The Fairphone (Gen. 6+) is now officially sold in the United States for $649.99, bringing a repair-first Android phone to US buyers without the import workaround previous generations required. Its headline advantages are 12 user-replaceable parts, a five-year warranty, software support through 2033, 12GB of RAM, expandable storage, and official support for AT&T and T-Mobile. The trade-off is simple: you are paying for longevity and repairability rather than flagship cameras or maximum performance.If batteries, charging ports or cracked screens have forced you to replace otherwise-good phones, Fairphone offers a different ownership model. If you mainly want the fastest processor and best camera around $650, conventional Android rivals remain stronger.Fairphone Gen 6+ US launch: quick fa...

Windows 11 KB5121003 Game Crashes: What Gamers Should Know

Microsoft is investigating a Windows 11 issue in the August 2026 security update KB5121003 that can make certain games freeze, close unexpectedly, show EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION errors, or restart the PC. The confirmed reports affect Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2, and Microsoft says its investigation currently points to some RGB-lighting peripherals or internal components that install drivers with names similar to inpoutx64.The important part for gamers is that this is a confirmed known issue, but it is not a reason for every Windows 11 user to remove the August security update. Microsoft is still investigating, and most PCs are not reported as affected. Here is what is known, what is still uncertain, and the safest way to troubleshoot without turning an isolated game crash into a lar...
Windows Secure Boot Certificate Expiration: 2026 Guide

Windows Secure Boot Certificate Expiration: 2026 Guide

Windows Secure Boot certificates issued in 2011 began expiring in June 2026, but an affected PC does not suddenly stop booting when a certificate expires. The bigger risk is that a device still using the old trust chain may stop receiving future protections for the Windows boot process. Most supported consumer PCs are being updated automatically, while managed business fleets may need inventory, firmware updates, testing, and targeted deployment.For US businesses, this is a security-maintenance issue worth checking now rather than a reason to panic. Microsoft says the original Microsoft Corporation KEK CA 2011 expired on June 24, 2026, and Microsoft UEFI CA 2011 expired on June 27, 2026. The Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011 is scheduled to expire on October 19, 2026.This guide explain...

AI Agents for Business in 2026: What Actually Works

AI agents are becoming useful business tools when they are given a narrow job, reliable company context, controlled access to software, and a clear human review path. They are much less useful when a company tries to automate a vague process, gives an agent broad permissions, or measures success by how impressive the demo looks instead of whether the workflow saves time, reduces errors, or improves service. That distinction matters in 2026 because enterprise AI is moving from answering questions to carrying out work. OpenAI reported in August that agentic usage among its enterprise customers is expanding beyond engineering into legal, sales, recruiting, and marketing. Anthropic has similarly reported that companies are increasingly using agents for multi-step workflows rather than isolated...
