A San Francisco “Hot List” is trying to buck stereotypes about dating in tech circles amid wider debates about the value of being perceived as attractive.

The discovery adds to the planet’s history of strange atmospheric phenomena that scientists don’t full understand.

Job seekers are trying to game the application process using AI. It’s not working, and not for the reasons you might think.

Homeland Security Investigations agents hit the outdoor retailer with a controversial subpoena as part of a dragnet search for the identities of protesters who entered a Minnesota church in March.

Macs are fantastic computers, but you’ll need one of these great displays to complete your work-from-home setup.

With the risk of infection rising, parents and young adults are facing agonizing choices about being out in public as school starts back up.

The success of a program linking zoos across the US has created social media stars and generated a wave of interest in how to protect the endangered great apes in the wild.

Ugreen, known for its phone power banks, chargers, and NAS storage solutions, is moving into the smart home - in a big way. This week at the IFA tech show, the company launched its HomeAgent smart home platform that combines security camera storage, on-device AI, and smart home control in one system, managed by a […]

Just hours after OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra, CEO Sam Altman was already apologizing for what he describes as a "messy rollout" after paying users expecting access to the new frontier model were left waiting. The company hailed the model as a "generational leap in capability" on Thursday and described it as the start of "the […]

Microsoft is giving its developer-optimized Windows experience a name: Project Zenith. While the software maker originally announced a similar developer-optimized Windows effort at Build earlier this year, Project Zenith is designed for new developer-focused devices with 64GB or more of unified memory. "Project Zenith devices come with a preconfigured Windows setup for development and a […]

There is a torrent of unappetizing slop coming from restaurants, cafes, and brands that are increasingly turning to AI to generate images promoting their food. The resulting horror show includes donut shrimp, Reubens from the deep, wormlike noodles, and noodle-like pastries and stringy chicken. There's also construction material masquerading as ice cream, ice cream masquerading […]

Over the years, I have tried different ways of hosting, building and optimizing WordPress websites. My current setup combines WordPress and Divi with a lightweight server stack and several performance and security tools. In this post, I want to share the WordPress stack I currently use in 2026 and why I chose each part of it. This isn't necessarily the best stack for every WordPress website. It's simply the setup that currently works well for my websites and the type of work I do. ...

With tens of thousands of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers published in 2026, AI agents now have direct execution bridges to local terminals, filesystems, and production databases. Following 30+ CVE disclosures against MCP tools in early 2026 alone (including CVSS 9.4+ RCEs), verifying the security of MCP servers before plugging them into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or autonomous agent runtimes has become critical. However, existing scanning approaches suffer from two fatal flaws: A...

A controlled Gemini 3.7 Flash benchmark shows why agentic video is excellent for long-form search—but can cost more than static processing on short clips. If I only need one number from a long video, why should an AI model sample the entire timeline before answering? Google launched Agentic Video Understanding on September 1. Instead of processing video at a fixed sampling rate, Gemini can decide whether to inspect the transcript, audio, or selected frame ranges based on the question. G...

Your AI agent understands the project today. Tomorrow, you open another agent and explain the same architecture, preferences, and decisions again. The model changed. The chat history stayed behind. Your context did not move with you. I built Sutra MCP to make that handoff explicit: one private, portable memory layer and reusable skill library that can be accessed by supported AI agents through the Model Context Protocol . This article shows what that means, how the pieces fit togethe...

Most "free" tools for freelancers want an email address before they show you a number. I wanted the opposite: open a page, type your figures, get the answer, close the tab. So I built SoloDesk , a set of 13 small tools for people who bill their own clients, as a plain static site. No framework, no backend, no accounts, nothing uploaded. This post is about the decisions behind it, a few things that went wrong, and what a search plan looks like for a domain that is a week old. Why ...

Have you ever been lying on the couch watching a movie on your PC, only to realize you need to get up just to adjust the volume or skip an intro? For years, I used classic remote apps like Unified Remote or Remote Mouse. But over time, they either became bloated, loaded with ads, or locked simple features behind paid subscriptions. More importantly, many modern tools route commands through third-party cloud servers just to send a keystroke across a living room. I wanted something lightweig...

When I first started managing microservices at scale, Kubernetes felt like magic — until it didn’t. Pods restarted, requests vanished into the void, and tracing cross-namespace traffic became a weekend sport. At first, the networking model seemed almost too simple. A Pod gets an IP. A Kubernetes Service gives that Pod a stable virtual endpoint. CoreDNS handles service discovery. The CNI provides pod-to-pod connectivity. kube-proxy handles service traffic using mechanisms such as ipt...

Originally published on DevToolHub . Every Ollama install runs a local HTTP server on port 11434 , and that server is the real interface to the models. The ollama run command is a thin client on top of it. Once you know the two main endpoints, the streaming format, and the options object, you can wire a local model into any application. There is also an OpenAI-compatible route, so existing code that talks to OpenAI can point at Ollama with a base-URL change. How the Ollam...
