The Skylight Calendar 2 and Calendar Max are both on sale for Prime Day if you've been dreaming of a digital calendar to manage your household.

As ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet told TechCrunch in May, what China can currently buy are older-generation deep ultraviolet tools — gear first shipped about a decade ago — the same machines the MATCH Act would now put off limits.

Every few months, I see another post declaring: "Prompt engineering is dead." Usually, the argument goes something like this: AI models are getting smarter. They understand natural language better. You no longer need carefully crafted prompts. On the surface, that sounds reasonable. But after building AI workflows and experimenting with modern frameworks, I think the opposite is happening. Prompt engineering isn't disappearing. It's evolving. And if you're building AI ...

Claude Code is a genuinely powerful CLI coding agent. Its context window handling and multi-file reasoning set a high bar in 2026. But it comes with real constraints - it requires an Anthropic API key, charges per token, locks you into Claude models only, and its source code is closed. For developers running local-first workflows, working in air-gapped environments, or simply preferring auditable tooling, those limitations are dealbreakers. The good news: the open-source ecosystem has matured...

For years, scam prevention has leaned heavily on awareness. Be careful. Do not click suspicious links. Check the sender. Call the organisation directly. Do not trust urgent payment requests. Slow down before you act. These messages are useful, and they should not disappear. But awareness is no longer enough to describe what serious scam defence requires. The Scams Prevention Framework, or SPF, moves the conversation from “make users more careful” to “make the scam ecosystem harder to exploit....

Why I Still Believe in Zero-Cost BFF Layers After 6 Months (And What Broke) Honestly, I didn't expect to be writing this article. Six months ago, I built capa-bff — a zero-cost BFF framework that won a hackathon gold medal — and I thought I had it all figured out. "This is perfect," I told myself. "Zero configuration, works with any Spring Boot app, solves all the frontend aggregation problems." Spoiler alert: It didn't. Don't get me wrong — it's still great for what it is. But here's t...

You added a useLayoutEffect to measure a tooltip, shipped it, and the next time your Next.js (or Remix, or Gatsby) dev server rendered a page on the server, the console lit up: Warning: useLayoutEffect does nothing on the server, because its effect cannot be encoded into the server renderer's output format. This will lead to a mismatch between the initial, non-hydrated UI and the intended UI. To avoid this, useLayoutEffect should only be used in components that render exclusively on th...

About a year ago, I turned my gaming PC into a local AI Lab. And yes, the most important word in that sentence is LOCAL . Let me tell you the story of how I sacrificed my gaming hours to build several tools, and now I'm going to tell you about this one that I use every single day. The Problem: Token bankruptcy Day to day, all of us developers who work with Artificial Intelligence share the same headache: tokens and rate limits . We're all victims of the high prices that come wi...

A growing trust crisis You throw a task at an AI, and seconds later it spits out a dozen-line SQL blob. You copy and paste it, and it runs. But do you really feel confident about it? That’s probably the daily reality for every data analyst and developer today. Today, AI can generate runnable SQL. The problem is that you don’t know whether you can trust it. Once queries involve deeply nested window functions and multi-level subqueries, they become difficult to review, debug, maintain, and ...

Today I launched Beach Day API , a developer API for real-time beach, ocean, water quality, advisory, amenity, access, and condition data. The goal is simple: make it easier for developers to build apps and tools around beach conditions without having to manually gather data from scattered sources. Beach Day API currently supports beaches across the United States and Australia , and returns structured JSON that can be used in travel apps, weather apps, surf tools, tourism websites, hotel...

What just happened On June 22, 2026, AWS quietly launched Lambda MicroVMs. Not a Lambda feature update. A new compute primitive sitting between Lambda Functions (stateless, 15-min max) and EC2 (full VM, you manage everything). Each MicroVM is an isolated Firecracker VM with its own HTTPS endpoint, running your code from a pre-built snapshot. Stateful. Up to 8 hours. Suspend when idle, resume on demand. I tested it the same week. Here's what I found. The test setup ...

Live demo: https://safestate.vercel.app , code: https://github.com/usv240/safestate A product recall today is basically a notice. It lives on a webpage, or a PDF, or an email that somebody is supposed to read. Say the problem out loud and it gets uncomfortable fast. A recalled crib can be listed and sold to another family, and nobody in that sale ever sees the recall. Reselling recalled goods is actually illegal, and recalled infant products have killed kids. I spent this hackathon b...

And by viral I mean from $0 to $31. Umami told me Clew Directive got 14 visits last month. AWS told me I owed $31 for it. That works out to $2.21 a visitor, which would make it the most expensive free learning-path tool in California. Spoiler alert: 14 visitors, $31, and not a single one of them was the reason. Something was off. Here is how Amazon Q, Claude, and a few hours of reading my own code untangled it. The app turned out to be innocent. What Clew Directive is,...

I build Voxis, an open-source Windows app that translates whatever your system is playing — a video, a game, the other side of a call — and plays the translation back as spoken voice, a few seconds behind the speaker. No subtitles, no virtual audio cable, no bot joining your meeting. The "no virtual cable" part is the bit worth writing about. Almost every system-audio tool on Windows tells you to install VB-CABLE or VoiceMeeter, or to drop a bot into your call. Voxis doesn't, for incoming aud...

The 2025 attacks on Jaguar Land Rover and Collins Aerospace revealed that ransomware has evolved from a company-level threat into a systemic economic risk. JLR's disruption contributed to an estimated £1.9 billion in losses across the UK economy, while the compromise of Collins Aerospace's MUSE platform disrupted airport operations worldwide without directly breaching individual airports. Together, the incidents highlight a growing concentration problem: a small number of platforms and vendors n...

Victoria, Seychelles, June 24th, 2026/Chainwire/--Following new Base58 Labs market-structure research, BASIS says widening cross-venue dispersion is expanding the pool of screened market-neutral opportunities and strengthening dynamic staking reward conditions across BTC, ETH, SOL and PAXG. Bitcoin remained near the $62,000 region after a sharp May–June drawdown, with realized volatility elevated and venue-level liquidity conditions increasingly fragmented. A new Base58 Labs research report, “...
