Amazon is launching a new lineup of Blink security cameras, including its first 4K, pan-tilt models, and battery-powered spotlight models. These new additions provide better resolution and extended range for monitoring your property compared to Blink's current Mini 2K, Mini 2K Plus, and Outdoor 2K Plus offerings, with a variety of different specializations to best […]

Apple says it will have "limited" iPhone Duo models for sale in stores, according to a report from Reuters. The iPhone Duo launches on Friday, October 23rd, but online preorders quickly sold out, with some delivery estimates extending into next year. "On Friday morning, our teams look forward ​to welcoming customers at Apple Stores to […]

There are quite a few 5K monitors out there. Many of them are designed to appeal to Mac users who are looking for cheaper Studio Display alternatives without giving up the pixel-dense 218ppi screen. However, if you’re interested in hearing about one with gaming chops, Samsung’s 27-inch Odyssey G80HF seems like one of the best […]

After introducing its Gemini AI assistant to Android Auto last year, Google is now bringing it to Apple CarPlay users. The conversational Gemini in navigation is available today for US drivers, with "rollout happening globally too," according to Google (we've asked for specific regional availability details). It's taken almost 12 months for Google to bring […]

The startup initially set out to build better, faster, and cheaper surveying hardware in 2021.

Refrigerants startup Pascal has a new take on heat pump and cooling tech using a sponge-like material that promises to be 20% more efficient.

More than 50% of managers say they're finding it harder to evaluate employees' work after adopting AI, according to a new survey.

Foursquare raised $411 million in funding according to PitchBook data, but its equity holders saw no returns from its final acquisition.

I run a free financial calculator site: 38 calculators, Next.js App Router, fully static, all math in the browser. When I audited it last month I found the problem you probably have in your own app too: reference numbers copy-pasted into too many places. The 2026 tax brackets lived in four calculators, three articles and a dozen FAQ answers. The default mortgage rate was typed into eight calculators, and every worked example computed from it went stale the week the rate moved. Worse, the FAQ an...

Hacktoberfest is here, and this year, the open-source ecosystem has a new, powerful contributor: AI Coding Agents . Tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Devin are generating Pull Requests and refactoring code at lightning speed. But as a developer, you’ve hit a massive, dangerous bottleneck: Validation . AI can write the code in seconds. But running unvetted, AI-generated code on your local machine risks exposing your private IP, leaking .env files, or accidentally nuking your local...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady What I Built I built LazyReply AI 🦥 , a simple AI-powered web application that generates short, polite replies to messages. Sometimes, writing replies to everyday messages takes unnecessary time. LazyReply AI helps users save that effort by suggesting a reply with just one click. The project follows the “Slow and Steady” theme by using AI to automate a small, repetitive task. ...

PHP has released emergency updates for two severe runtime flaws named PHP2Shell, tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. Affecting versions back to PHP 5.4, the issues highlight risks where AI assists in weaponizing legacy primitives. Fixes land in versions 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35. Researchers from Wiz, Calif., and OpenAI who discovered and reported the vulnerabilities noted that artificial intelligence helped turn decades-old, dormant problems into operational att...

A lot of small desktop tools talk to other programs through a drop folder: the writer puts a JSON file in a directory, and the app watches the directory with fs.watch . It is simple and needs no ports or sockets. It also has a trap: the watcher can see the file before the writer has finished writing it. I wanted to know how real that trap is on Windows, so I measured it instead of guessing. Everything below was run on Windows 11 with Node 24. I did not benchmark speed, only which events arri...

A GitHub Copilot premium request multiplier is the number that decides how many premium requests a single model interaction deducts from your monthly allowance. Ask a model with a 1x multiplier one question in Copilot Chat and you spend one premium request. Ask a model with a 27x multiplier the same question and you spend 27. The premium request multiplier is, in other words, the price of model choice, and the current table runs from 0.25x at the bottom to 27x at the top, a 108x spread for the s...

Short answer: schedule one delayed queue message per near-term user reminder, park anything more than 7 days away in the database, and let a small promoter job enqueue it once it enters that window. For an edtech app, that means tomorrow's lesson prompt doesn't wait for a database poller. The queue holds a tiny reminder ID until it is due, then a rate-limited worker loads the current lesson and user preferences from the database. A dead-letter queue (DLQ) catches exhausted sends. This keeps t...

"How long until this card is paid off?" has a one-formula answer, and "how much interest will I pay?" has a two-formula answer, as long as you handle the last payment properly. Most quick calculators multiply months × payment and overstate the interest, because the final payment is almost always smaller than the rest. This tutorial builds a two-tab sheet, Settings and Debts , with one row per debt. For each debt it shows the months to pay off, the size of the last payment, the total intere...

Plenty of working people have something they could sell online. Knowledge from twenty years on a job. A system they built for themselves. A skill people already ask them about for free. What stops most of them is not the idea. It is the blank page after the idea — shaping it into an offer, writing the page that sells it, and sending the emails that announce it. That is three different kinds of writing, and most of us were never taught any of them. AI prompts will not build the product for ...

6pm reads a VietQR entirely on the phone: a small TLV reader, a CRC-16/CCITT-FALSE check, a NAPAS template lookup. Then it opens the payer's bank app. For 28 apps that is a transfer link with account, amount and note filled in; for the rest, the app's home screen, the amount on the clipboard and the QR saved to Photos. This post walks through the code in packages/domain/src/vietqr/ and apps/mobile/src/features/scan/bank-handoff.ts . Everything quoted is from the repo, which is Apache 2.0. ...

Originally published at Trida AI . Copy as markdown An agent issues a refund. The payment call times out. Nothing in that timeout tells the agent whether the money moved. The request may have died on the way out, or the refund may have completed while the response died on the way back. Both worlds look identical from where the agent sits. So it retries. That is what it was built to do, and in the second world the customer has now been refunded twice. This is not a reasoning failure...

Most CMMC Level 2 projects go wrong at the very first step: scope. If you don't know which systems handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you can't know which systems need the 110 NIST SP 800-171 requirements. Start with the contract CUI reaches you through a contract. Look for DFARS 7012, flow-down clauses from your prime, and CUI markings on the documents you receive. Those tell you what data you're protecting. Follow the data Once you know what the C...
