Inspired by head-banging woodpeckers, Vancouver-based Pikio Labs has discovered a new approach to skull protection.

The new image isn’t just stunning—it may also provide clues about how this star survived its own explosion.

Whether you want a weight log on your phone or a bathroom gadget packed with sensors, I’ve found an option for you.

There's more to Lego than just another basic set. We tested tons of Lego-themed gifts to find the perfect ones for the brick builder in your life.

Cristian Mungiu's sixth feature, Fjord, concerns a family on trial. They seem like good people, God-fearing. They've just moved from Romania to a small hamlet nestled in the fjords of rural Norway. There is Mamma (Renate Reinsve), Tata (a bald and bespectacled Sebastian Stan), and their passel of children. They are an openly religious and […]

I'm bouncing down the road in San Carlos, California, zipping past behemoth tech companies like EA and Oracle, in America's smallest electric truck. The Telo MT1 (which stands for "mini truck") unquestionably turns heads because it looks so remarkably different from everything else on the market right now. It has a nearly cab-over design, meaning […]

Most LLM APIs I review have one IChatClient and a prayer. Hello goes to the same model as "why does this async code deadlock under load." When that provider returns 503 for twenty minutes, so does the product. Routing and failover both matter. Mixing them up is how you get a green uptime chart and worse answers. The full sample (Microsoft.Extensions.AI routing types, circuit breaker, tests, offline profile) is in Tech Skill Builder . Here is the short version: a few hard rules, then a Q&am...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built TouchGrass is an AI-powered application built for the Hacktoberfest ’26 Week 1 challenge, Touch Grass . The idea is simple: instead of keeping users glued to a screen, TouchGrass encourages them to step outside and engage with the real world. Users can choose an activity, duration, setting, and difficulty to generate an outdoor mission. They can then enter Go Outside Mo...

When an AI agent buys something and the purchase goes wrong, the parties usually discover the same problem: there is no structured record of what was actually committed. The authorization was valid. The credentials were real. The merchant fulfilled a legitimate order. The buyer is looking at a charge for something they never intended to purchase. Card networks were built for a two-party dispute. Stablecoin rails were built for instant, irreversible settlement. Neither was designed to answer t...

A Reco analysis based on the 2026 State of Agent Security Report examines how AI assistants enter company environments through third-party products. In the environments studied, about 1,280 products included AI, while only 282 were behind company single sign-on. Reco argues that an assistant's access to other systems may not be visible in its own settings—a useful distinction when assessing product integrations and identity visibility. The data comes from the 2026 State of Agent Sec...

The phone rings at a dental clinic while everyone's hands are busy. Nobody picks up. The caller books somewhere else. Frontdesk.ai is an open-source AI receptionist that picks up instead. It answers the call, books the appointment against a real calendar, answers questions from the business's own website, and leaves a transcript, a recording and a summary behind. Code: github.com/Sainigurnoor511/frontdesk-ai (Apache-2.0) Where the idea came from Frontdesk.ai is inspired...

If you have ever built a checkout form, you have probably shown a Visa or Mastercard logo as the user types. That logo comes from the first few digits of the card number: the **BIN** , or Bank Identification Number. This post covers what a BIN tells you, how to detect the brand and validate a number in a few lines of JavaScript, and what you are allowed to keep. ## What a BIN is The first 6 to 8 digits of a card number identify the institution that issued it. The standard (ISO/IEC 7812) cal...

Deno Runtime entra in maintenance, Deno Deploy chiude, ma l’acquisizione punta a rafforzare l’ecosistema open source attorno a workerd e alla self-hostabilità. Negli ultimi anni Deno è stato spesso citato come “il runtime che dovrebbe sostituire Node.js”: TypeScript di prima classe, toolchain integrata (test, lint, format), security model sensato, una visione coerente. Eppure, a livello di adozione reale, la storia è stata molto diversa. Ora arriva un cambio di rotta netto: Cloudflare in...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Most modern outdoor applications—from trail navigators to bird identification apps—suffer from an ironic paradox: they are built to connect people with nature, yet they demand that you stare at a glass screen the entire time you're outside. You stop on the trail, shield your phone from the sun, squint through menus, and read Wikipedia-style descriptions while the forest passes ...

SwordVow: The habit tracker without streaks Miss a day. Your record still tells the truth. Most habit trackers put a streak at the top. Miss one day and it breaks. People respond by hiding the gap, lowering the goal, or quitting. SwordVow is different. It keeps an honest record — including the days that were missed. Seal a day when you show up. Your calendar keeps every sealed day and every gap. No streak. No reset. No shame. The next seal is just the next seal. Why it works...

In the agentic engineering world, coding agents generate a lot of code quickly. The bottleneck shifts from writing code to verifying it. I’ve written about this shift before — the need for explicit systems and multilayer verification (see my earlier posts on dev.to/remojansen , especially When Code Gets Cheap, Verification Becomes Expensive ). This post documents one concrete, useful layer of verification you can build today: a scheduled automation that periodically hunts for recurrent ...

SSIS is not dead. It has stopped moving. A lot of production ETL still lives in SQL Server Integration Services. Those packages are fast, operators know how to restart them, and Microsoft still ships and supports SSIS with current SQL Server versions. None of that is in dispute. What has changed is where the product goes next. New SSIS features have effectively stopped. Microsoft’s cloud ETL investment sits in Azure Data Factory, Synapse pipelines, and Fabric. Teams stay on SSIS because i...

It started off promising enough. Dozens of tiny, colorful birds were drawn to my garden just a few weeks after I mounted a $350 $269 Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 Pro. "Looks like Great Tit!" read the first AI-driven alert sent to my phone. "Looks like Eurasian Blue Tit!" read another. I chuckled, still waiting for […]

On 1 January 2026, the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 replaced the old Personal Income Tax Act rules for salaries. Every payroll system in Nigeria had to change: the Consolidated Relief Allowance is gone, the first ₦800,000 of chargeable income a year is now tax-free, there's a new rent relief, and the bands are new. We build HR and payroll software at Orion Soft in Lagos, so we had to get this right anyway. We've now released the tax engine as open source, so nobody else has to rebuild it from the...

Every background remover I tried had the same catch: "upload your image and we'll process it in the cloud." For product photos, that's tolerable. For anything personal — family photos, ID scans, client assets — it's a quiet privacy leak. ToolsMonk Background Remover does the cutout locally in the browser. The image stays on your machine. What it handles well Product shots — clean cutouts for e-commerce listings and mockups Profile photos & thumbnails — the en...
