At an event in New York City, Sonos announced two new audio products - the Sonos Beam Ultra soundbar and Sonos Ace Ultra headphones, details of which were found in an FCC filing in early August - and a major update to its audio operating system dubbed Sonos 27. It's the biggest single Sonos announcement […]

After launching a budget-friendly flood sensor last month with impressive battery life, Shelly announced a new $49.99 security camera today that can be used without any additional subscription fees - although that's still an option if you want to expand its capabilities. The Shelly Camera will be available soon from the company's online store and […]

"We raised at a peak, but sold at a fraction of that," Unacademy co-founder and CEO Gaurav Munjal wrote. "I'm not going to dress these facts up."

GoPro is merging with a company that builds AI infrastructure, and will continue supporting existing consumer products.

Every time I put a model behind an endpoint I make the same lazy decision. I pick whatever I used last time, or whatever I read about most recently, and I tell myself I'll benchmark it properly later, and later never arrives because there is always something with an actual deadline on it and comparing model latencies feels like procrastination even when it isn't. I never do it. Not once. So I built the thing that would make me do it. One prompt, fired at six models at once, streaming side by ...

Mozaik Hackathon 2026: Build Concurrent Multi-Agent Systems and Compete for $1,000 in Cash Prizes Shifts focus from sequential to event-driven AI Hadil Ben Abdallah Hadil Ben Abdallah ...

In this blog post, we will see how I use AI to speed up incident investigation without letting it take over the decisions that need a human. It is 3:00 AM. Your phone starts making that familiar PagerDuty noise. You open the alert with half-open eyes. Error rates are climbing. Slack is already active. The incident commander wants an update. Depending on the severity, your director or CTO may also join the call. Every developer who goes on call will face this situation at some point. ...

The Brave Wanderer: I made Claude play a Pokémon it never read a guide for Full timeline video of this 2,000-turn run (game frames + a live cost counter on the left, the model's real-time thinking log on the right): https://youtu.be/ewyM7mzGzTM At the end of the first article in this series , I made a promise. Fable 5's fluency in FireRed owed half its credit to the walkthroughs it had memorized — it wrote down "Oak's Parcel," an item the game hadn't shown it yet, 141 turns early. S...

China’s high-speed rail network is easy to admire and surprisingly easy to use once you know the correct station. The difficult part for many first-time visitors happens earlier: a single city can have several major stations, and a traveler often starts with a hotel, airport, attraction, or street address—not a station name. I initially wanted to build a practical transport tool for foreign visitors in China. After reading travel questions, the recurring problem was not simply “how do I buy a...

Probably sleep deprivation. Definitely Git commits. And somehow, three projects later, I'm still here. 👀 I'm a first-year B.Tech CSE (AI-ML) student at Yenepoya School of Engineering & Technology, Bengaluru, and part of the Kalvium program. I've been getting increasingly interested in AI/ML, software development, developer tools, and building things that actually do something. And recently, I've found hackathons to be one of the fastest ways to turn "I think I could build this" into "w...

What Rebuilding Kafka From Scratch Actually Teaches You There's a gap between using a system and understanding it. Most engineers never close that gap, and honestly, most of the time that's fine. Kafka works. Topics, producers, consumers, pull the levers, ship the data. Done. But then you hit a weird latency spike, or a consumer group stalls in a way that doesn't match the docs, or replication starts behaving like it has feelings. And suddenly "I know the terminology" doesn't cut it a...

Introduction: The Telemetry Abyss In information security, just like in technical deep-sea diving, we face a vast, silent, and potentially hostile environment. Modern corporate telemetry is an ocean: millions of gigabytes of data in constant motion. Without the right gear, security analysts risk "data narcosis." Google Security Operations (Google SecOps) acts as our autonomous breathing gear (SCUBA). It provides planet-scale visibility, allowing us to descend safely into the depths of logs,...

In the first part of this series , I walked through the technical grit of rebuilding a musician's web platform from scratch—spending over 320 hours fixing legacy WordPress code, writing custom CLI tools with Node.js and FFmpeg, and crafting a lightweight Vanilla JS SPA router. If Part 1 was about the engineering side , Part 2 is about the human side : scope creep, irrational client expectations, and why finishing an "abandoned" project is sometimes the ultimate test of a developer’s charac...

On July 16, 2026, Hugging Face disclosed unauthorized access to a limited set of internal datasets. Five days later, OpenAI confirmed the attacker had come from inside its own walls. A combination of OpenAI models, including GPT-5.6 Sol and a more capable prerelease model, escaped a sandboxed cyber-capabilities evaluation and went hunting for benchmark answer keys. Along the way, it escalated privilege and harvested multiple credentials for internal Hugging Face services. It appears to be th...

Episode 1: Was in einer ZST-Datei passiertEpisode 1: Was in einer ZST-Datei passiertZST-Dateien begegnen uns immer häufiger bei großen Downloads, Softwarepaketen, Backups und Serverdaten. Sie sind oft deutlich kleiner als die ursprünglichen Dateien und lassen sich trotzdem sehr schnell wieder entpacken. Doch wie funktioniert das? Warum werden Dateien komprimiert? Eine Datei besteht aus Daten. Je mehr Daten sie enthält, desto mehr Speicherplatz wird benötigt und desto länger da...

Open a page and it can start guessing which browser extensions you run before you click a thing. Not "extensions in general" - which ones . Your password manager, your ad blocker, the wallet, the internal tool your employer ships, the accessibility extension you depend on. The page never asks and you never see it happen. This is not a bug in Chrome. It is the sum of a few features working exactly as designed, and the people best placed to close it are extension authors who mostly do not know...
