TP-Link’s first Wi-Fi 8 router is almost here

The Wi-Fi 8 standard is far from finalized, but TP-Link is almost ready to release its first hardware targeting the next-gen spec. It unveiled the Archer 8 Ultra tri-band router and Deco 8 Ultra mesh system at IFA 2026, which utilize the upcoming IEEE 802.11bn standard to "address the connectivity problems people actually notice" instead […]

Tim Cook’s Apple: his 10 biggest wins and misses

Expectations for Tim Cook were almost impossibly high when he stepped in to replace Apple's visionary cofounder in 2011. He inherited a company on a blockbuster run, after Steve Jobs returned and revitalized the Mac, launched the iPod, and oversaw the launch of the iPhone. Now, after 15 years in the CEO role, Tim Cook […]

aimock: Deterministic Mock Infra for AI Apps

aimock crossed 2.5M weekly installs! Here's what it does and what's new If you've been building AI apps, you've probably hit the same wall: your test suite runs against real LLM endpoints, so every CI run burns tokens, every provider hiccup breaks your build, and every dev on your team needs API keys just to run npm test. aimock is our fix for that. It's an open-source mock server for every AI service your app talks to - LLMs, MCP tools, agentic protocols, vector database...

I Stopped Using Gemini 3.1 Pro for Agentic Coding — Why I Moved to Gemini 3.7 Flash High Mode

I landed my first Point of Sale (POS) SaaS client project and built it inside Google Antigravity , trusting Gemini 3.1 Pro for all agentic coding. Bad move. Midway through, severe bugs hit—fixing sales inputs completely broke my dashboard analytics. Frustrated, I switched to the GPT stack (Codex, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.6 Sol). But that brought a new headache: token quotas drained in minutes and API bills went through the roof. The breakthrough? Community stats on Agent Arena showed Flash models...

My scraper returned 660 jobs. There were 880. Nothing in the output said so.

The first version of my LinkedIn company-jobs Actor looked like it worked. Point it at a company, get back every open role. The dataset had hundreds of rows, the fields were populated, the run finished green. It was returning about three quarters of the jobs, and a different three quarters each time. Worse, I had built change tracking on top of it — "these 12 roles opened since your last run, these 5 closed" — and that feature was manufacturing closures out of nothing. One test run reporte...

Inside the Architecture: How Universal Google Image Bulk Downloader Pro Avoids Getting Blocked

Most home-grown image scrapers fall apart the same way: they get CAPTCHA-walled after a few dozen requests, or they return a pile of irrelevant junk mixed in with the images you actually wanted. Universal Google Image Bulk Downloader Pro , an open-source project by hariompatel61 , tackles both problems with a handful of deliberate architectural choices worth breaking down. 1. Undetected ChromeDriver + Persistent Sessions Rather than relying on a headless request library, the to...

A Developer's Checklist for AI Voice Agent Disclosure Compliance

If you're building or maintaining an AI voice agent right now, there's a decent chance your team hasn't formally mapped out what it legally has to say to callers — because until recently, mostly nobody enforced it. That's changing fast across US federal law, several state statutes, and the EU AI Act. Here's a practical, implementation-focused rundown. TL;DR checklist Your call flows need to handle all six of these: [ ] State plainly, in the opening line, that the caller is t...

Bypassing Enterprise Bloatware: Building a Zero-Framework Asynchronous EDR Triad in Go and Pure WinAPI

Stop wasting your hardware threads and RAM pools on corporate endpoint detection agents that consume 500MB of memory just to stream telemetry to a cloud bucket. When you secure a host at the bare-metal subsystem layer, you don't need static signature databases, heavy Electron-based dashboards, or background bloatware overhead. You need execution velocity and aggressive, multi-threaded memory isolation.Here is the architectural blueprint of a standalone, zero-signature security stack designed for...

WebMCP: Make Your Website Agent-Ready Without Screen Scraping

AI agents can already operate websites by reading text, inspecting accessibility trees, and clicking visible controls. That works, but it asks the agent to reverse-engineer an interface designed for humans. WebMCP proposes a different model: a website can expose supported actions as structured tools. Instead of guessing which button completes a booking, an agent can discover a bookSlot tool with a description, typed inputs, and a defined result. WebMCP is currently an emerging Chrome cap...

There is no free lunch, especially in app publishing

2009, mobile networks class. We were studying how TCP handles packets lost over 3G: the network detects the loss, replays the packet, and the transfer survives a radio link that drops things all the time. Someone asked the obvious question: why not just make the radio link reliable in the first place? The professor's answer became the soundtrack of that semester: there is no free lunch. Reliability over 3G is not free, it is paid for in retransmissions, latency and battery. The cost never disapp...

How to Ship AI in Real-Time Communications: A 7-Stage Adoption Framework for Engineering Teams

How to Ship AI in Real-Time Communications: A 7-Stage Adoption Framework for Engineering Teams AI is rapidly changing how real-time communication platforms are built, operated, and experienced.

IEC 61850 Security Research: From SCL and MMS to GOOSE, Sampled Values, and the Process Bus

By RUGERO Tesla ( @404Saint ). IEC 61850 is another one of those protocols that becomes more interesting the deeper you go. At first glance, it looks like another industrial protocol to dissect: identify the transport, decode the messages, enumerate the data model, and look for places where authentication or authorization is missing and that description turns out to be inadequate. IEC 61850 is an ecosystem of communication models rather than a single protocol. MMS operates over the st...

CSS :open Is Baseline 2026: Style Open UI States with One Selector

Web interfaces contain several elements that can be open or closed: disclosure widgets, dialogs, select pickers, date inputs, and color pickers. Historically, styling those states required different selectors. A disclosure could use details[open] , while native picker state often had no equivalent general selector. The CSS :open pseudo-class provides one semantic selector for elements that are currently in an open state. MDN marks it Baseline 2026 Newly available since May 2026 across t...

That Small Obsession

Honestly, I've had a lot on my mind lately. The ways of working I spent years learning, practicing, and relying on feel like they're crumbling all at once. Some days I can barely find the joy in the work. Design and frontend can now be built in a few prompts, so these days I find myself starting from a finished, working screen the AI has already drawn — interface and all — and building from there. In code reviews, when I ask why a certain feature exists, what it's for, who it serves, the a...

How WebAssembly became our privacy architecture (not just a performance trick)

Most WebAssembly articles talk about performance. Yours runs 5x faster than pure JavaScript. Great. This one is about something different: how Wasm's sandboxed execution model makes certain privacy failures structurally impossible -- and how we built 90+ browser tools around that property. The Problem We Were Solving When someone uses iLovePDF, Smallpdf, or Adobe Acrobat Online to process a PDF, their file travels to a remote server, gets processed, and sits there until "del...
