Oracle Breach Cover-Up and Git Turns 20 | Tech News of the Week


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of *Tech News of the Week*, we’re talking about source control history, cyber cover-ups, licensing shenanigans, and encryption for the quantum future. It’s a spicy lineup, and we’re here for all of it.

🧑‍💻 Git just turned 20! That’s right, the tool most developers have a love-hate relationship with hit the big two-oh. Originally built by Linus Torvalds after he got fed up with BitKeeper, Git has completely transformed how software is developed. Linus wrote the first version in just 10 days—because of course he did. From obscure CLI commands to full-blown GitHub empires, it’s been a wild ride.

🕵️ Oracle got breached… allegedly. Then they claimed everything was fine. Then they kind of admitted something tiny might have happened. All while trying to erase history from the internet and quietly whispering confessions to their biggest clients. It’s shady. Real shady. Also, the vulnerability? In their own software, patched since 2021, but never applied. Neat.

💸 Microsoft is once again locking horns with the EU, this time over cloud licensing practices. Surprise! Azure gets the discount, and everyone else gets the bill. It’s all about that “hybrid benefit” Windows Server licensing scheme. And while Microsoft says they’ll fix it, deadlines are slipping and complaints are piling up. The EU is not amused.

🔐 OpenSSH 10 is here with some serious post-quantum energy. This latest release brings in PQ algorithms to help us stay secure even when quantum computers start flexing. Plus, it drops legacy cryptographic support and plugs a few critical holes. It’s one of those unsexy but *massively* important upgrades.
