IT News on October 10th: Technology media NeoWin reported yesterday (October 9th) that Microsoft has urgently notified various organizations that browsers based on Chromium may experience issues with remote desktop Web access (RD Web Access) in Windows Server after the update in November.

Google has announced that it plans to stop supporting the XSLT client in the middle of November 2026 for the Chromium browser. Note from IT: The full name of XSLT is Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations, which literally translates to Extensible Style Sheets Language Conversion. It is a set of rules used to convert XML documents into other formats or structures.

Websites can utilize browser-side XSLT to process XML data and generate displayable content. However, Microsoft's Remote Desktop Services browser portal RD Web Access relies on this technology for page conversion. Therefore, if the support for these relevant browsers is discontinued, it may result in users being unable to access the page normally.

Regarding the deactivation of XSLT, Google stated that there were mainly two reasons. Firstly, its usage rate was low; the client XSLT accounted for only about 0.02% of the total web traffic. Secondly, there were security risks, as the libxslt used by Chromium belonged to a complex and outdated C/C++ code library. Such code may contain memory security vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows.

As a workaround, Microsoft has released an update KB5130993. Administrators can set the value of XSLTEnabled for Microsoft Edge or Chrome to 1 through policies or the registry, to temporarily restore the handling of XSLT on the client side.

Microsoft also lists the HTML5 Web client solution. After users log in to the client, they can directly initiate a remote desktop session in their browser or download the RDP file. Another option is to enable the IE mode within Microsoft Edge and add the RD Web address to the list of relevant pages. When opening the portal for the first time, Edge may request permission for the ActiveX function to support single sign-on using the credentials of logged-in users.

Robinhood Chain Transaction Slows Down: Fees Spread to Trading Volume, with the Number of Transactions Dropping by Over 40%
Since mid-September, the average daily trading volume of Robinhood Chain has dropped from 10.8 million to 6.2 million transactions. Robinhood is still processing some token exchanges and paying network fees for users through its wallet. While the spot trading volume, active addresses, and network fees have declined, deposits remain above $1 billion, and the trading volume of perpetual contracts has increased.

Ethereum Discusses "Transaction Assertions": Signature is Correct, So Why Could the Result Still Be Wrong?
When the wallet pops up a signing window, users usually confirm what action they want to perform, but it is difficult to guarantee what the final result of the transaction will be. A research article by the Ethereum Foundation on October 5th referred to this discrepancy as the uncertainty of transaction outcomes and discussed a native transaction assertion: after the transaction is executed and the state is truly established, the results are checked by the read-only rules on the blockchain; if the result violates pre-set constraints, the transaction is rolled back. This solution is still in the design and discussion phase. EIP-7906 is just one of the possible approaches, and it has not been determined whether it will be implemented in the upgrade, let alone considered a new security feature already available on the main Ethereum network.

Solana Launches DvP Open-source Settlement Program: JPMorgan Chase Has Given Its Opinions, But That Does Not Mean Banks Have Already Launched It
The easiest story to tell about tokenized assets is that “transfers are very fast,” but the most difficult part is whether securities and funds can be delivered simultaneously in the same transaction. On October 6th, the Solana Foundation announced Solana DvP, an open-source custody program and interface for financial institutions, aiming to make the delivery of securities and funds into a reusable on-chain standard. The logic behind DvP is simple: funds are credited immediately when assets are handed over; otherwise, neither party's transaction is completed, avoiding the risk of one party having paid while the other has not yet delivered the securities. Its goal is not to have all securities markets migrate to Solana immediately, but rather to reduce the workload for institutions to rewrite custom contracts and coordinate delivery processes for each individual project.

Canada lost 68,000 jobs in September: Unemployment rate rises to 6.5%, but we can't just look at one number
The Canadian Statistics Agency released its September labour force survey on October 9th, presenting a less-than-encouraging set of figures to the market: the number of employed persons decreased by 68,000 compared to the previous month, representing a month-on-month decline of 0.3%; the employment rate fell to 60.6%, while the unemployment rate rose by 0.1 percentage points to 6.5%. This is the second consecutive month of declining employment, following a decrease of 42,000 in August. If one looks solely at the unemployment rate, the change may seem modest; however, when considering job vacancies and labour participation rates, the cooling of the labour market is more evident. Macroeconomic analysis cannot simply pick one of these three indicators as the most favorable.

Asana Reduces browser proxy costs by 76 times; what really makes a difference is changing the history records less frequently
Every step a browser proxy takes may result in the re-sending of page text, screenshots, tool definitions, and previous operations to the model. Intuitively, one might think that saving money would mean switching to a cheaper model or deleting old screenshots as soon as possible. However, the cases published on October 8th and 9th by Asana and OpenAI demonstrate that this intuition is not always correct. After the team under Asana, namely StackAI, made changes to the way proxy history was cached, the rhythm of screenshot cropping, and the context budget, the optimized GPT-6.1 Sol process had an average cost of about $0.47 per model run and took approximately 4 minutes; this is compared to the production configuration that previously used another model at the same price range.
