A college in Illinois tried to cancel its Flock contact and it refused

In April of 2025, Elgin Community College had six Flock safety cameras installed to "enhance the safety and security of students." But by September of that year, the school's administration grew concerned that Flock was sharing data with Customs and Border Patrol, that camera feeds were not properly secured, and that both law enforcement and […]

Android 17 links data protection to the price of the mobile

Android 17 introduces AISeal, a hardware-isolated sandbox built on protected kernel virtual machines (pKVM) designed to execute AI tasks and keep automation data local. Discover the hardware requirements, NPU allocations, and how premium versus budget devices handle on-device processing versus cloud offloading. In expensive flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, AI tasks and screen analysis are done entirely on the phone itself, with the data never leaving the device. In contrast...

Why I stopped trading and started tendering with AI

Why I Stopped Trading and Started Tendering with AI For years, I chased the dragon of algorithmic trading. Backtesting strategies, optimizing parameters, chasing slippage… the whole nine yards. I poured countless hours (and frankly, too much money) into building systems that promised to consistently outperform the market. And for a while, some did. But the constant arms race, the changing market conditions, the ever-present threat of black swan events... it was exhausting. I felt like Sisy...

Is your MT5 EA losing on its entries or its exits? A free report analyser

The MT5 Strategy Tester gives you a lot of numbers: profit factor, drawdown, win rate, consecutive losses. What it doesn't tell you is which part of the EA to change. A profit factor of 0.58 says the EA is losing. It doesn't say whether the entries are wrong or the exits are. So I made a small free tool that reads the Strategy Tester's HTML report and answers that question. It runs in the browser, needs no account, and the report never leaves your machine. https://app.hawk-backtester.com/...

BaroBuddy 🏔️ — A Local AI Companion for Outdoor Awareness

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built BaroBuddy is an offline-first outdoor awareness prototype designed to track atmospheric pressure, monitor environmental changes, and help users understand when those changes deserve attention. Atmospheric pressure changes over time, and interpreting those changes alongside elevation can help people become more aware of their surrounding environmental conditions. BaroBuddy ...

Measuring whether AI search names your product: six ways the measurement lied to me

I build DOS AI (dosai.pro), an AI assistant that answers a small business's customers in WhatsApp, Instagram and Telegram and keeps the leads in a built-in CRM. Search consoles show where a page ranks. Nobody shows you what an AI assistant says when a buyer asks it for a recommendation, so I wrote a script for that. The script is under 300 lines. Getting it to tell the truth took longer than writing it. Here are the six places where it, or the things around it, gave me a wrong picture. ...

Grassroots: A game that sends your whole friend group outside together

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Group chats are full of plans that never happen: "we should go out this weekend." Everyone means it, and nobody goes. Grassroots turns that plan into a game. Your squad gets a quest every day to do together, outside : "Stroll together along the winding path in the park" , a ball game, a walk-and-talk, a round of frisbee. Do it with your friends, send your photos, and y...

Prompts mal usados y cómo corregir prompts de IA

Los prompts mal usados y la falta de criterio técnico para corregir prompts de IA saturan las pantallas con respuestas tibias, rellenos diplomáticos y datos inventados. La gente abre una ventana de chat, suelta cuatro palabras sueltas como si le estuviera pidiendo un café al dependiente de la esquina y luego protesta porque el modelo le responde con una lista aburrida de generalidades. Un modelo de lenguaje no razona por intuición humana; procesa distribuciones de probabilidad sobre t...

Touch Grass Card: a 270M Gemma in your browser that deals you a reason to go outside

The problem with "touch grass" advice Everyone tells you to touch grass. Nobody tells you where to walk, what to look for, or how to make 30 free minutes feel like a tiny adventure instead of a lap around the block. So I built the smallest possible tour guide: an open-weight AI that lives entirely in a browser tab and deals you one outdoor mission at a time. What I built Touch Grass Card is a single web page. You tell it where you are (default: my college town, Corvallis, O...

Wiggle Outside: weather, nearby places and a little inspiration in one short search

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Before we can get outside, there's the planning: check the weather, find somewhere nearby, then think of something the kids might enjoy. By the time you've done all three, the moment has often passed. I signed up for this challenge on Friday evening with one idea: put those steps into one quick search that answers the question a parent actually has: where do we go, what do ...

Cadastral Data and Land Titling: Navigating Philippine RA 11573 and the 20-Year Rule

When building geospatial applications, legal-tech workflows, or conducting real property due diligence in emerging markets, developers and property investors quickly collide with statutory complexity. In the Philippines, property registration relies on the Torrens system, administered by the Land Registration Authority (LRA) and local Registries of Deeds. For decades, one of the biggest bottlenecks in Philippine land administration was the near-impossible evidentiary threshold required for j...

What is the real difference between megabits and megabytes?

A clear technical review contrasting Megabits per second (Mbps) and Megabytes per second (MB/s). Understand how bits measure data transfer rates for network streaming while bytes define storage, including conversion rules and broadband metrics. To understand the difference, just think about the basic building blocks of digital information. Bits are the smallest unit of measurement and are mainly used to measure how fast your internet travels, like when you're watching a live video strea...
