Heat waves are simultaneously hitting Europe, North America, and Asia, driven in part by the hot waters in the tropical Pacific—and climate change.

Created by legendary hardware hacker Andrew “bunnie” Huang, the badges for this year’s famed security conference aim to push the boundaries of security and transparency.

SJY’s Zeph are brilliant wired headphones, using flippable earcups for two different takes on your favorite music.

The company’s first headphones look very stylish and have great tactile features, but underwhelm on sound quality.

Headphone jacks are endangered, but they’re not gone. Here are our favorite smartphones that still let you plug and play.

Sony has received a lot of backlash from PlayStation fans since announcing that it's killing physical game disc production, but that hasn't swayed its decision. During Sony's latest earnings call, chief financial officer Lin Tao said that while the company "put in a lot of thought and time" when considering the opposition put forward by […]

Ellis AI announced Thursday its emergence from stealth with $10 million in seed funding.

Your RAG copilot can't count — stop letting it try A user asked our document-search copilot a completely reasonable question: how many documents a specific person authored. The copilot answered with a number. Confidently. With a nice sentence around it. The real answer, computed by the database, was 84 . The copilot said — because it did what every RAG system does when you ask it an aggregation question: it counted what it could see. Here's the claim I want to defend, because I think ...

Privacy incidents on personal phones often begin with a vague report: battery drain, unfamiliar login alerts, a device listed in a messaging account, or an app with permissions that do not match its purpose. Support teams need a repeatable way to respond without escalating fear or encouraging unauthorized access. This article presents a consent-first triage flow that developers, help-desk teams, and security educators can adapt for user-facing support. Start with an authorization ...

Disclosure: BrowserAct sponsored this piece. The BrowserAct links below are affiliate-tracked — I get credit if you sign up through them. I keep hitting the same failure building agent workflows in Claude Code: the agent captures a selector once, the page re-renders with a new build hash, and the next run breaks on an element that's still right there on the screen — just under a different id. BrowserAct is a browser automation platform built for AI agents — real browser control, persistent b...

Last week I got the best feature request my open-source project has ever received. It was detailed, technically literate, fail-closed by design, and came from someone who clearly runs the tool harder than I do. I'm not going to build it. And the person who asked for it agrees — because the conversation ended with him shipping the fix, in his own layer, as a package other people can now use. I want to walk through how that happened, because the whole arc is a case study in a question I th...

Teams keep forcing their warehouse to do integration work it was never designed for. The result is ballooning costs, opaque failures, and architectures that become harder to maintain the more they ‘succeed.’ Here’s the case for separating data movement from analytics storage. The expensive truth about modern data stacks Spend enough time around data platform teams and you hear the same story. A company builds out its "modern data stack" — warehouse, processing layer, orchestrator...

Google DeepMind has not announced a product called Gemini Robotics 2 . The name does not appear in the supplied first-party material describing the company’s robotics work. What is documented is the broader Gemini Robotics family, including Gemini Robotics 1.5, Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, and On-Device variants. That distinction is important for technology leaders assessing robotics AI. Product names are not cosmetic details in enterprise planning. They shape vendor evaluations, architecture dis...

When players talk about RPG builds, they usually talk about weapons, armor, skills, and damage numbers. But behind every build decision is a much more interesting problem: A stat optimization problem. Games like Elden Ring look simple on the surface. A player chooses: Strength Dexterity Intelligence Faith Arcane Then equips a weapon. However, the relationship between these choices is not linear. A weapon may scale with multiple attributes. A stat may provide strong...

At Univoco we build retrieval-augmented assistants over a customer's own documentation. One of them is a coding agent that writes code for a proprietary document layout engine. The useful thing about that engine is that there is effectively nothing about it on the public internet. The model cannot have learned it. Everything the agent knows comes from a private documentation index and the tools we give it to search that index. That makes it an unusually clean laboratory. When memorisatio...

✓ Human-authored analysis; AI used for formatting and proofreading. Agentic security platforms are arriving. ECS-hosted investigation agents that invoke Bedrock models, write case artifacts to S3, mount shared session state via EFS, and expose interactive shells through ALBs. The architecture is sound. The security configuration surface is enormous. Most of it isn't covered by existing benchmarks because the benchmarks were written before agents existed. I audited a published deployme...

Many applications already use the OpenAI SDK. Moving to another compatible gateway should not require rewriting the whole application. In most cases, the main changes are the API key, base URL, and model ID. This guide shows the basic migration flow with Route Key, an OpenAI-compatible AI API gateway and multi-model router. What you need Before starting, prepare: An OpenAI-compatible SDK A Route Key API key A supported model ID A test environment where you can safel...

Every TypeScript developer has written something like this: function getUser ( id : string ): User { const user = db . findUser ( id ); if ( ! user ) throw new Error ( " User not found " ); return user ; } The function signature says it returns a User . But that's a lie. It might throw, and nothing in the type system warns you about it. The caller has to remember to wrap it in try-catch , hope they handle the right err...
